Tenergy Syma X8SW Wifi Quadcopter Drone

This is a nice drone for beginners like me. It's larger than the description claims -- it's a full two feet wide, if you measure across the body blade-tip to blade-tip. BTW, getting those blades on was a pain, as I've never done it before. I don't look forward to having to replace one. The controls are quite sensitive, and controlling the drone will require a few hours of practice if you're new to this hobby. It's best used when there's little or no wind. I quickly discovered that a flat, open field was preferable to my hedge- and tree-filled yard. (This is how I discovered that this drone works well as a leaf shredder.) It's easy to lose control given the sensitive controls, because your impulse when there's trouble is to slam the joystick around. A gentle touch is required! Luckily, there's an auto-land button on the controller, which saved my bacon -- and the drone -- several times. I'm still getting the hang of it. I experimented with the camera. No need for a 32-gig card unless you plan on filming long events (and changing the battery pack every 10 or so minutes). The 720 HD camera takes decent-quality photos and video. Have not yet tried the streaming video feature. Speaking of battery life, I would highly recommend getting the three-pack of replacement batteries you'll see suggested. Swapping in a fresh one is a snap. (You'll know when it runs down; the four lights will begin to blink, and eventually the drone will land itself.) Haven't yet tried the app on my smartphone, but FPV sounds interesting. I wonder whether it will enhance the experience, or make it more difficult for this beginner? BTW, there is an error in the user manual on page 10: the illustration says "Long press (hold for 3 seconds) RIGHT stick to enter headless mode", while the paragraph below it tells you to "Press down and hold LEFT stick for 3 seconds to enter headless mode." I haven't tried it yet -- which is it? Bottom line: Nice drone -- I recommend it!
