This drone delivers up to 22 minutes of flight time across two fully charged batteries and comes equipped with a 1080P HD adjustable Wi-Fi camera so the whole family can have fun taking aerial photos and videos. Use the app to control your drone with the Gravity Sensor mode and watch a live video feed of your drone's flight. Draw out a flight course on your phone for your drone to follow, perform 3D flips at the press of a button, activate Altitude Hold to maintain a certain height and more. You can even use voice commands for an ultra-simple takeoff and landing experience.
