Due to the price increase in ammunition, do not expect a warning shot.
Sig Sauer, kinda like Glock except for men.

Re: So is this too good to be true?
They don't give too much information.
1. Does it have GPS positioning?
2. What is the range of the video feed?
3. How does it video stream? Wifi or other? (Wifi has a limited range)
3. Does it have "Follow me"?
Would really like to see a comprehensive list of capabilities. I don't think it will be very different to other models in that price range, to be honest.

What goes up must come down, eventually, except your age.

Re: So is this too good to be true?
Flippin' advertorials. "The Most Incredible Invention of 2018" and "This drone performs like a professional brand for a fraction of the price", complete with fake, unverifiable testimonials. Waves big red flags. Trying to dig deeper one only encounters a lot of deceptive, self-aggrandizing publicity. There is a distinct lack of real information available.
So, no doubt in my mind that it's only a toy and possibly not even a good one at that. Never mind that it is basically a copy of a copied knockoff (like the Chinese are now even doing to/with their own good products
). Kinda like the no receipt, no-warranty stuff you get at the local Chinese flea market. Which actually makes it an expensive toy (and good luck getting a replacement or your money back if it doesn't work)
Really not impressed after reading this:

Behind every angry woman is a man who has absolutely no idea what he did wrong.
