Snug as a bug in a rug
Bought this to attach a pair of manual Nikkor lenses (35-70mm f2.8 & 80-200mm f2.8) to a Panasonic GH4. The adaptors secure snugly to both the lens and the camera body with no wobbling or noticeable 'give'. The lenses sit nicely and even the huge 80-200mm feels safe and secure. Images from the lenses with the adapter are excellent.Documentation is a little on the light side - it's possible to put the lens on upside down but that will soon become obvious if you do and it won't lock properly. It's important to twist the silver ring after fitting in order to engage the aperture control ring of the lens. If you're changing the aperture with no effect, this is probably the reason.

Great drone for inside
Our family has had a lot of fun with this drone. So many tricks and maneuvers you can do ( instructions in the booklet). It is nice to have 2 rechargeable batteries. It takes about 30 minutes to charge each battery. I made sure to charge them both fully before starting. It took a little bit to get the drone started ( reading the booklet first will save you time

Good beginner drone
First and foremost, this drone hovers in place without touch the control sticks. In this price range it is hard to find a drone that is balanced like this. The last 3 drones I have tried had stability issues. With all the other pluses for this drone, it is an easy recommend.Packaging is compact. Not too much waste here. The drone comes neatly packed in a zippered shell case.Materials are good quality. The plastic is all smooth and well finished on the drone. The controller is a bit lesser quality, but that's okay. It functions well and does not need to maintain flight.Batteries last about 10 minutes a piece while recording, give or take a minute. The batteries charge in under an hour. Not bad and I do like the style of battery being slide in contained bricks instead of exposed lipo batteries.Video quality is acceptable and par for course in this price range. Cameras can be huge drains to battery life and staying at 1080p with low energy sensor is wise here. 10-15m flight time with okay camera quality or 5 minute flight time with better than okay quality? I would go with the flight time every time.Once in the air, the drone can maintain a steady hover with little movement with 0 wind conditions. This is excellent and rare at this price point. I will give some credit to other more popular brand name drones on the market since the design of this drone takes obvious cues from those. This is a good thing though since this drone functions so well. Control is very easy with this drone.The only negative I can think of is that the propellers are not protected or contained. The right collision will bend or break these propellers. Yes you do have extra blades, but a new flyer will likely need more especially if the flyer is a younger user. That would be my only knock but that would only pertain to inexperienced users.Is this better than $600 drones? No, but it is a good entry point with a solid design. Flight is consistent and fun. I will mention that one of the bigger downsides with most budget drones are the batteries. They have short lives and tend to die within a year. I am not saying this is the case here, but something to watch out for.

Great upgrade for the beginner drone enthusiasts
I actually do like this drone. It's easy to use once you figure out the on button for the remote. The battery life is not the best but the seller replaced the batteries with 2 new ones. Will see how that goes. The seller and their team aren't the easiest to get along with. Call it pride or maybe they just think we are all not from this planet. Who knows. 5 stars for the drone, 3 for seller.

Affordable Entry Level Drone for Kids
For the price it is worth it but definitely requires a bit of patience in setting it up. Out the box the learning curve is pretty low, meaning its pretty easy to get into.Flying in any wind at all renders the drone completely useless. The self leveling does help but still the drone has a very difficult time. So try flying when there is little to no gusts of wind.Wish camera quality was at least 1080p. The 720p footage is pretty much not usable, just a cool feature that your kids will talk about.Batteries that come with the drone are more than sufficient, just flying around I got almost 20 mins per pack, which is quite a long time for each battery that charges approximately 35mins at a time. (2 Charging cables included)Great gift for kids looking to get into drones, my kid took about 5mins to get oriented and he was off doing the tricks the drone has.

Great Starter Drone
This drone was easy to understand right out of the box! Best to practice in an open field and I began to make maneuvers right away. It also has features found in more expensive models and it’s easy to fly. I like the fact that most drone controllers have control knobs that operate the same, makes it easy to understand. For the money you really can’t miss!!

The media could not be loaded.
This is a decent quality entry level mini drone for beginners or older kids. Ot has more features than I would expect for a drone at this price point.The controls are generally intuitive, but take some practice, especially if you have never flown a drone before. Be sure to read the instruction manual and watch their demo video in the app to understand calibration, preflight steps, trimming, and other advanced features like headless operation or voice control.The camera is a nice feature, although one should not expect to capture high quality photos or videos from the 720p camera. The camera can be rotated up or down manually when not in flight, but has no auto panning or gimble for in flight control or image stabilization.Overall, I'm pleased with the controls and capabilities of this drone for the price point. It's fun to fly indoors primarily, as anything beyond a light breeze would make it difficult to control.

Great drone for beginners
I purchased this drone for my 13 year old son who was asking for a long time. The setup was easy. We tried it in one of the soccer ground so there will be lots of open space without trees. We tested all the features and very surprised with the quality of yhe drone. My son had a blast. Having 2 batteries was a plus as we were able to play for longer time

Great product, customer support could use some wor
The dji mini 2 fly more package is great. Its nice having the extra batteries and the carry case and everything. The drone itself is easy to fly and has excellent video quality. The flight range is impressive. After several successful flights I unfortunately lost signal from the drone and it never returned home like it is programmed to do. Dji did eventually send me a replacement drone and battery but their customer service could some serious streamlining. The the battery charger holds 3 batteries but only charges one at a time which is mildly inconvenient. Over all though the drone and the fly more package are an amazing product especially for the price. I don’t regret going with dji. If you buy the mini 2 i would definitely suggest going with fly more package, the convenience of extra batteries, carry case and everything else is definitely worth the extra money.
