The R820 drone from Remoking is better than most drones that get 7-8 minutes of flight time with one battery. This one gets around 12. This also depends on how hard you fly this as it has 3-speed modes (low 30%, medium 60%, and high 100%). Wind and other outside factors could also make the flight time go up or down from the 12-minute average. In high-speed mode, the speed on this is enough to make the pitch steep enough that this will fly itself into the ground if you are not careful and stay high enough when flying. The yaw rate (spin) is also pretty good and gets slower as expected in the lower speed modes. I would suggest for beginners to start in the lower modes until you get good enough to operate this in the high-speed mode.
This does come with 4 extra props (everyone needs), 4 prop guards (that I don’t use outside around trees), screwdriver (to attach the prop guards), USB charging cable, and instruction in English.
This, like most drones today will do flips, has one button take off/land, and headless mode. The 750 mAh Li-Po battery does take about an hour to charge and the controller takes 4 AAA batteries that are not included. I like to use rechargeable batteries for these.
The landing gear also houses the LED lights that are used for orientation. With red in the back (like the brake lights on a car) and green in the front. These are bright enough to see pretty well especially at night and that makes it very easy to tell what is the front and what is the back when this a getting hard to see at a distance. This is good up to about 165 feet away from you which might be it’s one weak point, I actually got much less range and would say it's good to maybe 100 feet, but when you start getting much further away, most drones get hard to see and harder to keep orientation on them.
