I suspect others have seen the adds for this drone...They basically say it's a $7000 unit that you can buy for $140 ( I think that's the price) ...is this a scam or do they send you a drone that works?
Going by the add I want one...if I send money will the send the drone and will it be ok...or has a honest as experience that can help.

Alex, as the saying goes, "If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is..."
While appearing like a DJI Mavic style drone, parts are probably lower quality all round: plastic instead of carbon fibre, less reliable batteries, radio, lower definition camera, etc.
The camera on a Mavic costs twice this drone!
For the price? If I had lots of cash to spare I might get it, but I've a weakness for flying things almost as bad as my astro bug!
Cheers,

Been there done that with similar advertised on bookface, payed with PayPal for security, returned and refunded through PayPal. Thing turned up in the mail again 3 months later, l reckon it had been to China and back haha.
It worked, but nothing like advertises.
Camera was not controllable mmd flight. Set and forget manual gimble.
Was uncontrollable to fly and setup to fly.
I've still got it, too crap to bother with.
Save your money, buy some Lego.
On the other hand, at a mates house, drunk, we flew the DJI Mavic mini from the coffee table in the loungeoom, through the kitchen, out the back door and down to the beach, and back. Very cool.
