UDI RC UDI U842-1 Lark Quadcopter with FPV

I am by all means not a pro at drones yet..But I do have a bit of experience and I have however, flown a few different types and sizes and know how to control them pretty well. First off, for the price, this drone is built fairly well and can take a bit of a beating. The camera performs very well for a "HD camera included" drone.It is by no means a GoPro though! It does not adjust, it is fixed (no zoom, up,down,Lt,Rt) but can be removed completely from the drone itself. Ive had cheaper models with cameras that adjust via the remote up & down while in flight but did not record as clearly. It does not hover in one spot (any slight wind makes it difficult) so taking pics and vids can be difficult for any beginner. Wind (even breezes) also makes it difficult to use the FPV control which is hard to focus on since you constantly have to watch the drone itself. It has a bit of weight to it so I do feel it is a bit under powered as it can struggle to gain altitude at times or "fight" the wind. The range seems a bit poor as I have a $50 drone that can fly further and higher. The Lark will just drop (shut down) if it goes out of range as I found out the hard way but landed perfectly on its gear in grass and took right off as I got back into range. I fully admit that I am a bit disappointed in the overall performance of this drone considering it is just under $200. My $50 drone outperforms it in every aspect of control as it can fly higher, further, and faster than its much larger counterpart. The only thing better is the camera but I feel this isn't enough for the price. I will be returning it and spending a little more for a better one(I hope) as it seems to already be suffering engine failure in one of its props. It needs an occasional "push start" on the engine blade to get going. Well, hope this answers any questions and feel free to ask. Happy flying!

I bought this drone a few weeks ago great for beginners !! Takes some getting use to fly but just keep practicing! My son loves it we are spending more time outside at the park together! ! I would recommend it to anyone who is interested learning how to fly drones! !

Ok so, no it's not a top of the line drone, but it's a good drone for learning!The first package I received had one of the chargers missing, not a big deal,send them an email and they send me a complete new set, no hassle!Been using mine as much as I can!It's durable and the 3 stages makes it great for learning!But next time I'm going for something a little bit more up on the food chain

There is something wrong with the batterys. Called the company and they agreed but don't know what to do about it.

I bought this quadcopter thinking it would be a really good investment for my current hobby of flying them. Right out of the box, it was ready to fly and everything was easy to set up. The only problem was when trying to trim the flying, it was unable to center and would lean to the side. It was at max trim too and so I didn't like that. I also didn't like that even though I was like 5-10 feet away, the stream of the FPV was a bit laggy. Not to mention flying time was beyond horrible. At max I would only be able to fly for like 5 minutes tops.

One of my moters was messed up and when I tried to land it would crash land and made it worse

My uncle has this drone and I love flying it. Parts are easy to find and I just purchased as a Christmas present. This drone is durable and can take some spills.

Good first drone for a beginner for the price, but has some quality issues. One motor and the camera antenna were soldered very poorly and weren't functioning properly, I had to resolder them. The drone can take some hits, but not forever. The thin plastic cracks somewhat easily as is expected, but the motors (that is, the bearings in them) break from slightest touch to the propellers. I've modded the battery bay for a regular battery pack, and swapped the joysticks (not the easiest thing to do). 90% of the time that I've had it was spent on waiting for spare parts. Requires nerves and some investment in spares, but may still be the cheapest FPV to drop from the sky.
