This was the first drone I've ever purchased. Let me start off by saying it was very easy to learn how to use it. You get great instructions with this along with an extra battery, controller, and sturdy carrying case. It only took me about 10 minutes to get used to the features of this drone. When using the app on your phone along with the remote, media is also stored on your mobile device (although, the quality isn't as good as what comes off of the memory card). One downside for me was the fact that this drone only accepts a 32GB memory card. If you're anything like me, you've probably been comparing this drone with the newer F11 GIM. Let me help you out here. As my focus for this purchase was to take great pictures and video, I found the capabilities in that area to be just satisfactory. The F11 Pro takes decent looking video and good images. It does have a bit of the "fisheye" going on. That being said, I ended up returning this drone and decided to go for the F11 GIM. I will say, getting used to the flight operation of the GIM took me a little bit longer to get used to. For example, on the F11 Pro, you could rotate the left joy stick and the drone would turn (in place). On the Gim, doing the same action makes the drone turn but it covers a wider area, so you have to pay attention if you're operating it with objects nearby. I wish the GIM shared the precision of movement that the F11 Pro has. The being said, the pictures and video taken on the GIM had me saying "wow" when I saw them on my computer. The colors seems to look better as well. The image and video quality is much better on the GIM. I've added two photos, one from the PRO and one from the GIM. These were pulled from my phone but you can see some differences (1st is from the PRO, 2nd is from the GIM)Bottom Line: If your on the market for a great done that gives you a lot of value, with precise controls and is fun to fly, get the F11 Pro. If you're looking for a drone that will take amazing images and video, get the F11 GIM. I hope that helps!
