Great service

Great offer. Lowest price in the market. The drone was delivered within a few days and everything was in perfect condition.

Bad Results

Bought this outfit for the sole purpose of takimg aerial pictures. Flies well and easy. Unfortunately the camera does not communicate with the base and actually getting an image captured is very rare. Customer service is a complete waste of time. Sent the camera in, came back doing the same thing. Company now refuses my calls. Waste of money!

Not so unique

I have had this drone for a month now and have flown it several times. I think it is easy to fly but...the reason I bought it was to take aerial photos. Huge disappointment. I was unable to get photos last few times I flew it. Kept getting an error message "unable to take snapshot" from the controller.Also they claim that one can shoot photos at dusk. Terrible photos at dusk.I wish I bought a different drone.

NOT JUST THE LOOKS!!!

Incredible performance and quality. Just opening the case is amazing. The looks and quality of the materials are great!! Camera performance is outstanding. Great video resolution and photography quality. Works as expected and is worth every cent. If you could fly it just a bit further it would be just perfect. That would be the only downside. Using it in professional video making and just couldn't ask for more. Having both drone and steady in one package is just a gift from heaven!! Haven't got the chance to try the steady jet, but if it works as the drone, then this would be my greatest purchase of the year.

First flight went great!

I really like this quadcopter. In all honesty, it's also my first one. It was easy to set and use. The instructions were clear and it operated as described.

I like this package

All the items are great, and have worked well in my first tests of them. I am still waiting for one last item of the package that was on back order. It was not clear that portions of the package were on back order when I made my purchase. At least three items were on back order. One back ordered item arrived before the main package. Standard shipping is pretty slow. I really like the hard case with the pre-cut fitted form interior. It's a must have to protect your gear, IMHO. Other than that, I would buy from Adorama again, and I would purchase more Yuneec products.

Unbelievable quad copter

Before I purchased this product I researched quad copters for about eight months. I wanted a quad copter that was stable, reliable, A good quality camera and fun! At first I wanted to get the new Hunsan X4 H501s then I looked into DJI and after that I settled with Yuneec. After watching numerous review videos my gut instinct told me to keep pursuing Yuneec. I am beyond impressed. I recommend this to anyone who's getting started In quad copters and drones. Come tell your story like me. Don't settle with the first quadcopter choice. DJI is great but I honestly think Yuneec has better quality. I am recommending this flying machine to all my friends colleagues and Family members. I made a great choice and I have no regrets. Yuneec all the way!
