Vtx camera broken on arrival EDIT: Seller replaced the drone and it is awesome!
The camera lens was not attached to vtx and video is completely useless. I'm going to try and go through customer service for and exchange and will edit my review later.Edit: Seller replaced drone and the new one is working awesome. Everyone can have a mistake in manufacturing or shipping that could result in a damaged product unbeknownst to them. But what matters is making it right, and they did! My replacement drone is awesome. I programmed it in beta flight and have an awesome little quad with precision flying thanks to my taranis x9dse. Do yourself a favor and get this little brushless almost tiny whoop for fun indoor and out flying!

Frame bends easily, but fies great.
If you are a total beginner like me, definitely start out with one of these micro quads. Long time ago I build a ZMR250 to start with. Although it flies great, I was never able to fly fpv and I gave up on it until I got the Snapper.It flies great out of the box and you don’t need to be scared to crash it, with costs and repairs as a result every time you fly it. Mind that, as a beginner, it is still hard to fly it indoors so definitely start outside.Only three stars for the next reasons: The frame bends at the slightest collision and finally it just snaps and you cannot repair it. I have changed the frame with a Beta75X one and this one seems to last longer and is also lighter.Mind it is not a straight forward swap, you need to make some modifications.Also, the rubber band that holds the battery is pretty annoying, it comes off easily and is fiddley to put back on.One more tip: when you first time use it, make sure the turtle mode is not engaged. I have spent a long time trying to figure out why the throttle did not work and almost returned it.

So close, but not quite
Easy config in betaflight and connection to my taranis. Initial flights were great, but on the 4th battery things started to go wrong. one of the motors came free and shredded it's wires. Upon further inspection, roughly 80% of the screws were not even remotely tightened down. Fortunately 3 spare screws were included for motors, but now i have no spares a half hour in. I rewired the motor that came off, screwed it down, and tightened the rest of the screws.2 flights later the camera came free when I cut the throttle and it feel from about 5' and the + wire came desoldered from the board. Ended up gluing the camera in place because there was really nothing to hold it in place. Resoldered the + wire from the battery. Back in business.Pushed a few more batteries through it and no issues so far. Still, planning to buy a few spare motors/screws.Overall 3/5. QA could have easily corrected these issues. Video quality isn't terrible, but both vtx and rx range is fairly low. Next room through a wall is really iffy. I'd suspect it wouldn't be much more than 50-60' LOS but the weather has not really cooperated to accurately test, which is what i'd expect from this little machine.

Ok Item
I purchased this to add to my collection was easy to bind up and set up but was disappointed din the camera mount camera not much at all holding it in place before the 1st battery pack was used I did have a small crash in air mode inside all good but what holds the camera in is a little tiny plastic lip witch pushed out so put it back several times and ended up hot gluing it in the adjustable mount after this seems to be good this was my only issue with this copter, needs a better mount for camera would all negative that I have so far.

Great flying Whoop!
The 3 stars for beginners was because for beginners, it's not easy to navigate Betamax(didn't know I had to, but you do, to set arming, etc.) But once it's bound, this was my favorite over an Emax tiny hawk, and beta 65. This thing rips, and it's a good trainer for 5". I flew mostly outdoors, I'm a newbe and crashing inside was better done with plastic framed Emax. I found the Snapper 7 too fast inside my small house.

Check your PID loop make sure it’s at 2khz or it’s a shaky uncontrollable drone
Product is built a little cheaper on the screws but, after first flight and lots of adjustments on camera and PID loop some how it was on like .6 kHz instead of 2khz and it actually started flying correctly and it became fun it’s very quick and responsive to controller outputs and is a good micro for just flying around the house or even around the yard

Trash
So I’m guessing this is supposed to not work at all? High hopes. Canopy had no screws, fpv camera superglued in, and stopped working before it even started to work. Total waist. Returning after not even having it 2 hours. So disappointed.

Bad camera, broke right away
It's a fun drone, really fast, good flight times but the camera stopped working after the 5th flight. Pretty sad it broke after I paid over $100 bucks for it.
