Great video/picture quality with the 4K camera, easy to fly, even for a 'noob'! Not a racer, but it's not supposed to be. There are quads with more bells-n-whistles, but for the money, this is a great one!

This thing flies amazing. Very stable and easy to use. However, its heavy and the batteries don't last nearly as long as they claim (10 minutes). The video camera takes clear pictures and videos with lots of options, however it turns off unexpectedly. Very frustrating and unreliable especially if recording events which are one of a kind. There's just know what to know if you've captured it or not. Some files record but are corrupt and unsalvageable. Virtually no support from Yuneec, and the forums don't offer much help to resolve these issues. Not sure if all units are buggy or just mine. If it flew 25 minutes (as advertised) and recorded without hiccups this would be a winner...can't give it a killer review.

I've been flying my Q500 4K for about 6 months now. I've never had any issues and it's always flown well. The 4K camera is the real standout. It has amazing detail and decent dynamic range. I can fly directly into the sun with minimum flare. The camera's exposure is right on but if needed you can adjust it on the fly from the controller. (Pro Mode) Battery life is decent. I'm usually ready for a short break by the time it runs down. You can monitor the battery voltage from the transmitter! With my old Blade I had to set a timer and hope I got it right. Having the built in screen on the transmitter is great. Using your phone to monitor the camera is a real pain. You have to manually connect the wi-fi and then start the app. It's not that big of a deal but the Q500 just does it for you with zero hassle. There is also a lot less lag using the transmitter instead of a phone. It's not real time but close enough to fly. Did you know that the transmitter has a place for a Micro-SD card. It records low-res footage of every flight complete with telemetry data. You can download the data and view your entire flight path on Google Maps. Having different flight mode is great. I can get shots that would be extremely hard to fly in full manual mode. I can fly the bird straight out and yaw (turn) it while it's flying. This is great if your trying to show part of a building and you don't want to circle the subject. This is a great choice if you're looking for an easy to fly quad.Read full review

It's a very nice drone that flies great ! The camera takes very good video and pictures and the drone with the 3 axis gimbal is a very stable camera platform. The only issue I have is the flight time. I am getting around 12 to 14 minutes. The flight times are the only reason I took off 1 star. I have ordered a couple of extra batteries, but of course you still have to quit filming and land to trade out batteries which can mean you may miss a shot you are wanting. I am thinking about getting a 3D printed battery adapter so I can get a bigger capacity battery and hopefully longer flight times. I wish it got the flight time of my Yuneec Mantis Q which is around 25 minutes or so, but I wish the Mantis had the 3 axis gimbal so there you go. But the Q500 is a very nice drone and I am very happy with it !Read full review

Drone works fine! But after a couple of weeks the camera quit working won't connect to controller. Drone gets out after a about 30 seconds it looses and disconnects to the video feed. Can't recommend it until they fix the connection problem!
