I am actually using my second Bwine f7 as I seemed to crash alot the first time. The camera leaves alot to be desired, but does a pretty fair job. Range is almost 2 miles, tried it and it will go that far if you have a good line of site. Folding the arms too much and they start getting a little loose. Camera gimble comes of easily if you look at the botton, push the latch and it comes right off. For Some good videos on repairing or taking the drone apart, look up videos on (SJRC F7) drone as it is the same as the bwine f7.
Dont let the batteries get hot, they expand and no longer fit in the drone, plus over-charging them ruins them also, causes them to expand. Buy a cheap SMART usb charger that stops charging the batteries when they are full. Dont charge them via usb on a computer, it will over-charge and expand.
If you are having trouble with drone flying in circles, out of control. Turn off the GPS and put it in altitude mode, (Long press the [p] button) (The one that changes the speed). It will fly normally, but wont hold its position in high winds, you have to keep it steady manually.
Be wary of the cheap replacement blades on ebay. They snap pretty easily and your drone will come crashing down at high speed.
Have been using my drone alot in the southwest deserts near Kingman AZ. Dont get too close to any of the mountains that contain metals in them. Drone starts getting uncontrollable, if you are near a mountain or large hill and the drone starts acting up, just fly away from the mountain and it returns to normal. If the video or photos from the drone appear like there is too much orange in the colors, just tilt the camera down a little while using it. The sun is throwing the white balance off.
VERY IMPORTANT, dont overcharge the batteries. It will ruin them. Get a Smart usb charger from Amazon,
