Key Takeaways
135g palm drone with propeller guards and controller-free QuickShots for beginners.
No obstacle avoidance: fly line-of-sight and expect bumps near trees or indoors.
Rated at about 18 minutes per battery, owners often see closer to 13-15 minutes.
RC-N3 remote unlocks longer range and better control than phone Wi-Fi alone.
4K/30FPS video and 12 MP stills are solid for social clips, not Mini-series cinema quality.
