C-Fly Dream Long Range FPV Flight Test Review

This brushless GPS drone includes a controller with built-in WiFi amplifier enabling long range digital FPV flight. Find it here and here's the Dream Part 1 review
Pros
- Long range (advertised at 800 meters) 5G WiFi FPV via the built-in WiFi relay of its controller, and its C-Fly app available on Play here and iTunes here
- Small and lightweight (251 grams with battery), it's very portable. As C-Fly advertises, "Take your Dream to travel around the world".
- 1080p camera with two axis stabilized gimbal.
- Controller has built-in WiFi relay to provide long range digital FPV reception.
- GPS/GLONASS satellite system to provide accurate positioning.
- Optical flow system provides stable hover indoors.
- Advanced flight modes of circle, follow me, and waypoints.
Cons
- Uses 802.11ac 5G WiFi. Not all phones are capable of using this WiFi. First verify that your phone is indeed 802.11ac capable before purchasing.
- 1080p camera could be better. Frame rate is only 24fps. White balance is also a bit off in sunny environment.
- Low voltage auto return did not seem to perform as advertised. I was flying below 10% remaining battery power and manually landed to protect the battery.
- Android version of C-Fly app still needs some fine tuning. App would freeze when I would attempt to stop video recording.
