Great Drone for the price
Rating: 5
This is my first drone. The camera quality is superior. Easy to fly but I recommend starting off in beginner mode because this drone has power. I have flown the drone 3 times and each time I gain a little more confidence. Very happy with the purchase. I believe it's an excellent drone for the price.

Best Drone EVER!!!!!
Rating: 5
Easy to learn how to operate. On my fifth flight I flew around 450 meters in very high wind, and waited too long to return. It was warning low battery after a long flight. The wind was blowing extremely hard, and I thought the drone was landing far away never to be seen again. I searched for hours but finally gave up. When I came home I decided to look in the back yard just to confirm that it was gone forever, and IT HAD LANDED TWO INCHES FROM THE POINT OF TAKE OFF! I'm so thankful this thing is idiot proof.

Contixo f24 great price for beginning drone user.
Rating: 5
This is a great drone for me. The price is great, battery life is great and heavy enough to stay in position when windy, unlike my other small tello drone. I think its a great drone for beginners like me. This drone also has good video , but i need to get a card to record video i think. So far i have flown the drone several times at the park and don't have any cons at this time. Great drone

This was my first drone and being a beginner this product was very user-friendly and easy to use. I am very happy with my purchase for the price it is such a great value I am still in disbelief that I actually own one.I gave this a really high rating just because of the price the value and how it performs and the quality of picture and video.

The Contixo F24 is amazing at twice the price!
Rating: 5
This is an amazing drone! I wasn't expecting this to be as great as it is based on the low price, but the features it had were too good to pass up. This is my second drone. The first one I had was super difficult to control, but this one is a lot bigger and really just flys itself if you let it. I'm mainly using to video my son playing baseball, and I can pretty much drive it where I want to set it and drop the controls and it hovers there amazingly well, even when there are low to low-moderate winds. Very little drift. The camara is amazing! And its adjustable from the controller to make sure you get the shots you want. I love the feature where it automatically puts a little dot over the sun so it doesn't wreck the shot. Being able to watch from a cellphone or iPad is awesome too! The remote has a button to auto-land and another one to return to its takeoff location, other of which helped me a ton while I was learning to fly it. The app is feature rich. I'm really enjoying the feature that makes the drone circle a target. Just set it and let it do its thing, and get some amazing shots! I really had little experience with drones before this and I crashed it pretty hard twice. This thing is tough! Both times the drone survived with just a couple of dings on the still functional blades. Now that I've got more experience with it, it seems like I'd have to try to crash it. The battery lasts for 20 to 30 minutes, which is much better than many other drones of this size.

Fun quadcopter

This is my first gps-enabled drone. I discovered it to be very easy to fly. It does a good job maintaining its position when you are not moving it. The WiFi connection works very well until the drone gets a certain distance away... it then wants to switch connection types which I have done but that's when I get nervous that i will lose the connection and lose the drone. That has not been a real issue, just my concern based on very limited experience. My only real concern has been that obtaining a good signal sometimes takes several tries which can be frustrating. Once connected it is lots of fun. It takes good quality pictures and video. I did clip leaves of a tree about 12 feet above my driveway. The quadcopter hit the ground hard but keeps on working after I replaced a damaged propellor. I have attached a few pictures I took with my F24.

This is my first gps-enabled drone. It is easy to control, takes great pictures and video and is fun to fly. There have been times when it did not want to connect to gps which can be frustrating but once it finally connects it is incredibly easy and versatile. Great for a novice like me. Connecting to WiFi is incredibly easy. When the drone reaches a certain distance from the remote, it loses the WiFi connection and that's when I get nervous that it will just fly away but so far no problems with that. Take off and landing are impressively smooth. I did crash it once after clipping leaves about 12 feet above my driveway... i replaced a broken propeller and it keeps on working. I have attached a couple pictures that I took with my F24 Pro.

The drone would be amazing if the app was more up-to-date and controlled the way it's advertised. The drone will not launch or land from the app, perform the gesture controls, or follow properly.... however it does stream to the app, record, take pictures, and everything else so I've still had a lot of fun with it. Still keeping it and flying it around.
