Curious what lead to your decision to purchase this particular quadcopter. I've never heard of it.

I use mine for recreational flying, and did a short term assignment for a company that did aerial video & photo for various jobs, including real estate. My advice is learn to fly it proficiently, and work on your flying skills. Fly respectfully, and don't add to the already overly distorted negative impression that the general public has of these craft.

price was good. I like the integrated HD cam. it is a nice low cost learning drone but with video that is decent. AEE will come out with a 4K cam system later this year so may upgrade down the road.

For that price point, I would have gone with this: http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-S...F8&qid=1455565252&sr=1-4&keywords=DJI+phantom

I don't see a gimbal. does it have one? Photography without one will be, well, crap.

When you upgrade to 4K, be sure to budget a few more $thousand for a new computer to play it back, unless you have a fairly new and strong puter

Whatever you do, don't fly it in my friend's backyard. She said her dogs already attacked and destroyed two drones that flew over her yard.

AEE has 1080P camera with ability to move it 90 degrees. yeah the DJI special pricing is good. I will use it at my own houses and the beach.

But no gimbal?

Must be some very high jumping dogs, very lousy pilots, or a storytelling neighbor with a vivid imagination. I'd ask to see a piece of one of the copters.
