Seems like a solid drone for the price (conversion around 380 euro) comes with a good 1080P camera but no gimbal (been watching some video footage on Youtube but it seems stable enough). With the skycontroller 2 it has a range of about 2-3 km but not recommended to fly that far.

It is a smaller drone compared to the DJI and Xiaomi and will probably be less conspicuous and draw less attention when flying.

Already got the Phantom SE but this is another solid option to consider IMO.

Great drone for the price but the lack of a proper gimbal might not suit some people

What does a gimbal do?

It's the mount that holds the camera in place.

Helps with stabilising the video you're recording, some tilt 90 degrees to point forward or down below the drone like the DJI phantom mentioned, others can even spin the camera 360.

There is a slight tilt available on this camera even though it doesn't look like it but not enough to get a straight down photo so no use if you need to take a Google earth type photo
