To begin with ..... I made it sound easier than it is. It took me most of today to get it in the air. There's unforeseen downloads that need to be done first, that I didn't know about. You can't over think a problem & it's a given that the set up is smarter than the operator. The batteries are advertised @ 16 min flying time. That's sucky, but it is a good amount of time. It's best to have a number of batteries. They're not cheap. The whole thing isn't cheap. The prices are better than it was to begin with though. My goal is to take it up to the local junior high school & fly it back home, which is almost two miles. Not sure how big my balls are for that just the same. The goggles ... I've only used as it was getting dark, so I merely hoovered in the driveway. It was cool. The range for the goggles is maybe 400 yards or something ?? I dunno for sure. Otherwise, you need to clip your cell phone to the remote, use an app & watch it live from there. Youtube is full of this model & others in flight. I bought this only because I have money coming to me. I'd never be able to afford all this. The goggles I bought were refurbished, which is a better price than brand new ones, but with the warranty. They're still expensive. There's much less expensive goggles, but not all the options & probably not the range.
