DM007 RC Quadcopter 6 Axis Gyro Explorer UFO

My first quad and I am very happy. It arrived early with everything that I ordered very well packed in perfect condition. This is my first quad so I am very much a novice but after spending the after noon keeping it low and learning the feel of the controls. It's kinda like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time but a lot more fun. Seems to be very well constructed and what limited test I did of the camera in both photo and video are very satisfactory at great price. A perfect first quad imo.

I also ordered extra motora, props and battery while I was at it. Batteries are in rotation now on their second charge.

I was also very impressed with the great customer service and fast response. I had originally paid for faster DHL shipping and was immediately notified it was not available to my area. I immediately received a full refund via PayPal on 7/30 and received 7/23 having been advised it may take 5-25 days to arrive.

You can track this up to it's arrival in the destination country. I received mine 3 days after arrival in the US. You have to go to NordPost to do this by clicking the link on your order at gearbest.

In summary a very pleasant experience with a beautiful new toy and 5 acres of land to video from above! :-)

Suggestion

Being a beginner I would like to have seen a better set of instructions but at this great price I can live with that. It is really tight getting the battery and wires in that tiny compartment but after you do it a couple times it's not that bad.

I do recommend you purchase at least one extra battery. Charging time is about 90 minutes and life of a full charge when shooting video is only a few minutes. I haven't timed that exactly. I was having too much fun playing. I wish I had purchased three or four extra's.

I recently purchased my 1st DM007 RC Quodcopter, and I found it to be an excellent drone for beginners. It was my very first drone, and after some practice, I began to grow comfortable with this flying toy. I did watch some review DvDs and I was excited by what the drone was capable of. I've got some good aerial footage from my drone in my locality. The battery life is respectable, and it can be recharged in good time too. Here is a breakdown of the pros

It is a great drone for beginners.
It reaches respectable heights.
The replacement parts are cheap.
The postage costs next to nothing.
The package includes battery charger and card reader with card.
The video quality is very good for its size.
The video footage uploads very quickly onto social media sites.
The battery life give 8-9 minutes flight time.
The recharge time is 1 hour and 40 minutes which is reasonable.
The maintenance and repair is another good feature of the DM007

The DM007 RC Quodcopter is so good, I've ordered a 2nd drone from my friends in Drumcondra.

Suggestion

The cons are to be expected from such a device, particularly if you are a learner pilot. These cons can teach you many things before you upgrade.

It struggles to fly well in light to strong winds
It does not have a gimbal feature
The drone can be delicate, when landing.
The blades fly off occasionally, particularly after a crash land.
The motors need tender loving care, otherwise they risk burn out.
The landing legs suffer the most from crash landings.

It is advisable to buy spare parts if purchasing DM007 as it will save you a long wait if your drone is in need of a maintenance.

Hey Guy's Had to try this puppy because the price was right!! It's a Speedy little Sucker, with decent pitch and yaw.
My 007 had a camera mounted on it, which I take off right out of the box normally. But I had to try it out first before throwing on the crappy quad camera pile,,lol I took it up in my front yard about 100' feet up, gave it some slow yaw to get a good view of the place. About 2 minutes into flying, I saw something out of the side of my eye coming towards the quad!! It was a big red looking hawk, and about 10' from the quad, he turned and flew off???

I would have loved to see him clobber this thing in air and see what was left! I brought the 007 down to see if I got him on film, but nothing but a small flash of red was caught on the card,,,Crappers!

Anyway the stuff that was on the card was pretty jello free, so not a bad camera on this on, so It stays! All in all, not a bad quad, but do yourself a favor, and get some finger nail polish and touch a little on each motor shaft, so the props will stay put!!!!

Props fly off to easy!

right out of the box flying...yes this little micro quad is so fun to fly and with much practice, you will soon be a pro flying this around the yard or where ever is permitted...yes, IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO LEARN TO FLY!!! you just can't expect it to do what you want it to do without a lot of practice...and be prepared to do some hard landings...it's best to go ahead and purchase a crash kit...you will need it...I myself have already broke both landing props, propeller, and a burn't out motor ...but no down time because I had all the parts...also extra batteries are a must...the 2.0 MP camera is well functional, but will fly much different with it on or off...the most helpful advice is on you tube is called "quadcopter 101" ....I have learned a lot from this gentleman as well as his reviews on several other quadcopters...this is fun little flyer...

Suggestion

spare parts are "higher" sold in US...(bummer)
spare parts are "cheaper" in China but takes 3 weeks to arrive...(ultra bummer)
