Seriously guys. It's not cheap to make. less then a model airplane, which can go 2-3 times times this price

You only damage the indoor hull if you are not carefull with it, try the lowest tilt setting, and you will be very slow, but not as prone to crashing.

And the cameras are not nearly that good but the drone. Is still the coolest thing I own

[MrDustinwashere]

It can usually fly 45-50 meters away from you and it has a 15 minute battery and it's very durable I crashed it very hard onto

Got 1 myself a month ago & having a blast with it! - As far as the "learning curve" goes, it's EASIER than most RC planes & helicopters. (I've flown RC planes @ 20 years). The onboard autopilot uses a down-firing ultrasonic altimeter & can sometimes be "fooled" by passing over objects of different heights (causing wild altitude swings). It is otherwise VERY stable. Recommend newcomers fly in a space such as a basketball court before trying outside; consider 10 MPH max safe wind speed.

I did not experience a "steep learning curve". The controls are very intuitive and the thing can level itself if you let go of the controls.
