Absolutely Perfect
Rating: 5
Pros: What can I say except that this company was a fantastic company to work with. The salesman was very knowledgeable about the product and we compared many other products without him pushing me in either direction. When I had decided on the product the salesman worked in getting it to me as soon as possible. It arrived as promised and worked perfectly. It was a pleasure doing business with this salesman and company and I will definitely buy from them again. I thank them and say to any interested people, you are in good hands with these people. Cons: NO CONS Other thoughts: Trust this company. You WONT go wrong!!

Everything we expected and more....
Rating: 5
Pros: I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my husband. I was a little worried since he has not used the Go Pro I gave him last year but thought he would enjoy the Phantom for filming fishing videos and to take pictures of his construction projects. Extremely easy to assemble, the blades and put on a few stickers. It took him all of 5 minutes to learn how to fly and work the controls with no problem at all. The clarity of the pictures and videos is amazing! We all took turns flying landing and maneuvering around objects with no incidents. Very pleased with the battery life, well into the 25 minutes that was promised. [...] I was worried about not having the blade guards but since it was easy to fly I don't think it's a must. Very pleased with shipping since I ordered it a week before Christmas, was to arrive 12/24 but received 12/23. I would suggest a carrying case, guess I know what to get him for his birthday! Cons:

Phantom 3 Standard Bundle a great nibble.
Rating: 5
Pros: It works with the DJI Go, litchi, and autopilot. My iPhone 6 plus includes everything including a barometer to make me feel safe about flying the drone. There's nothing like the new sheath system of the phantom 3 with one board inside. Cons: It only uses the U.S. DOD GPS satellite system, which then again says stay where there is plenty of view to the sky. Phantom 3 advanced , 4K and professional step it up to glonass. The iPhone has to judo back and for with google maps before you 're easy on with map coverage. Other thoughts: It has every nibble of intelligence with the proper checklist you have to go through.

Fun, but . . .
Rating: 4
Pros: Flying a drone is great fun & thrilling. Cons: However, I had to scour the Internet & look at several videos to figure out how to get my drone safely off the ground. There is a long & sometimes steep learning curve. DJI could do more for a step-by-step process to get going. Other thoughts: It is, so far, worth the effort.

Great deal but it came with a broken camera lens
Rating: 4
Pros: Great deal on an open box phantom 3 professional. Item was shipped quickly and was packaged as described. Cons: Camera lens was broken on arrival which was very disappointing. Given that the cost of a new lens was $15, It wasnt really worth it to send the entire copter back. I just ate the cost of a new one.

What an awesome video platform
Rating: 4
Pros: Pretty easy to fly, loaded with features and a lot of fun. Cons: Extra batteries and other accessories are EXPENSIVE! I have spent almost as much on a case, tablet holder and batteries as I paid for the drone. Other thoughts: Within 5 hours of flight time I was able to get results like the one in the video below

Phantom 3 Standard
Rating: 3
Pros: This is a very good item. Easy to fly and amazing pictures. Cons: No support. It took me six phone calls to get information on a problem that I had with it. They gave me two email addresses to send a video. One was in China and the other did not exist. I finally got a hold of Eric who was helpful. I had to send my drone back. They signed for it tow days ago and have not even emailed me that they received it. A great product with not much support.

Great product / wasn't in stock
Rating: 3
Pros: DJI makes a great product. I chose Buydig for their price and bundle. It showed in stock. Cons: Despite the website showing 'in stock' and paying extra for 2 day shipping, it wasn't in stock and wasn't delivered in 2 days. Other thoughts: Maybe contact them to make sure it's in stock befor paying more for expedited delivery.

Purchase With Caution
Rating: 2
Pros: Easy to fly, while it still functions properly that is. Fun drone with a great camera, but I only got 6 flights with the drone before the shell cracked near the prop motor. Not happy. Cons: I was fortunate enough to be able to return the product after noticing a small crack near one of the prop motors. I had successfully taken off and landed with each flight, but the plastic shell cracked from stress. Its a very common problem with the Phantoms, and DJI is VERY difficult to work with. Horrible customer service from DJI, but Excellent customer service from BuyDig Other thoughts: Do not buy this product. Do your research and look into how many people report problems with these drones. I didn't read into it enough, but there are tons and tons of defective units. DJI is very unhelpful and their estimated repair times were a long wait.

Waiting
Rating: 2
Pros: Prompt email replies. Cons: It's been over a week and my order hasn't even shipped. They say they're out of stock but the items clearly said available and 4 easy to ship... Other thoughts: I just think it should show out of stock on the website when I ordered. I'll update my comment this Friday 4/1/16

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

F24 Pro Drone
Rating: 5
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
Rating: 4
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.

Rating: 4
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.

Glass mostly full
Rating: 4
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.
