I honestly loved how easy it was to get familiar with the Q500. The fact that you can also buy a full kit with an aluminum case and extra batteries makes it seem like the best all-you-really-need drone package out there. It's not only easy to fly thanks t

The editors didn't like
I missed the jerky little DJI Phantom at times. While I appreciated the flexible range of speeds offered by Yuneec's ST10+ ground control
I wanted the handling to be a little bit sharper at times. This feeling was emboldened by my test of the Blade drone
Big
Heavy and slow. What makes it great for beginners makes it less great for those used to the nimbleness of other drones. The range is limited compared to similarly specced models from other manufacturers
Lens is blurry at edges of frame
Automatic white balance can be inconsistent
Larger than comparable drones
Battery charger can get very hot
Camera gimbal is slow to adjust
Bulky case isn't easy to tote
The Typhoon Q500 4K's size isn't travel-friendly. There's no support for waypoint navigation. The overall design could use some polish. Video quality is good
But best viewed at small sizes on tablets and phones
Controller is overly complicated
Video is a little noisy
Structural stability can use some work after the frame cracked due to a 10′ fall
Carrying case requires everything to be put back perfectly or else it won't close

Excellent performance, ST10+ controller is one of the best, 4K video recording is superb
Bodywork is largely plastic, Battery stamina is average, Batteries take ages to charge
