"Well, I still would like to actually be good at flying those types of devices. The point is the camera, and the camera is fantastic. I'm going to start splitting this review up into sections because I can already feel like it's going to be a long one. === The Camera === This isn't one of those cheap no-name drones with a terrible camera that gives you a dark, laggy, choppy view until it blacks out. To be honest, I'm not even sure how they do it, but I get full signal strength and clear 1080p transmission well beyond where I start getting nervous and bring it back to me. You can set all sorts of options, including manually adjusting. setting it to the former gives you the full 20MP image, and you can shoot stills in JPG or Video can be shot at 1080p, 2.7K, or 4K. While flying, your recordings and photos will show up on your phone immediately, but in preview resolutions. I'm not sure what the still photo size is, but the videos are 1080p (so the photos may be 1280x1080 depending on your aspect ratio) The full-resolution images and videos are located on the micro SD card, so you can pop that into your computer to see everything in its full glory. === Basic Flying === This is the ultimate in beginner-friendly flying. You can't (accidentally or otherwise) turn off the host of helper sensors keeping the craft stable and safe. It limits your movements to ensure you don't end up upside-down or flailing helplessly out of control. Releasing the sticks quickly brings it to a stable hover. The two main flying modes (Normal, and Sport) are fully aided by sensors, the only difference is how quickly it will allow you to move and change direction. All of these modes have separate settings for how fast and smooth the camera gimbal works, and these settings can be modified for each mode. === The phone application === . It's stable. It's usable. It's all of the things that every good app should be. It shows a live view of the camera along with TONS of useful information that is somehow always there but never in my way. Pre-flight status information tells you when it's a good idea to take off (for example, Your photo and video options are all clustered on the right side bellow, and the top right shows you things like the battery charge remaining signal strength to the controller, GPS signal, etc. The top left shows things like your current speed horizontally and vertically, its current height off the ground. Tapping the map icon on the bottom left brings up a detailed map and the map shows the path that the drone has taken since launch, as well as its current orientation, your current position, If you don't want to take your hands off the controls, you can set the Function button on the remote to quickly swap between map mode and camera mode. === Controller === The controller for the IZI fly drone is excellent. It has a nice beefy battery that can optionally charge your phone while it's connected and still have plenty of battery life for a number of flying sessions. It has a Function button that can be mapped to several different functions in the app. Two functions actually, because you can set it to do something when clicked, and another thing when double-clicked. Camera movement is controlled with a wheel under your left finger, the button to start/stop recording (or to take a picture) is under your right finger. === Conclusion === As someone who has been into photography for over 20 years now, I've always wanted a drone with a camera. But I never thought I'd be able to get one at this quality for this price. I'm completely blown away. this is the perfect drone to start with."
