I couldn't even over-ride it and had to install another risky firmware update before I could get my drone in the sky.3

First of all I would like to say that the people that have problems with the updates must not know what they are doing, I have done 3 firmware updates and they have all gone smoothly, no problems, the first one took me a little to figure out because I was connected to the drone and not to a wireless router for internet, but once I figured out I could close the app down and hook up to a router and download the firmware to my mobile device and then hook back up to the drone I had no other problems downloading the updates

It must do its update and this can take a very long time and if you interrupt the update, you can have trouble

The update failed the first time about halfway

: It seems the update had caused the loss of pairing of the control unit to the drone

The drone relies on the app and the app has no way to redownload a failed firmware update.

It's the same but increased range and better camera.-Still has annoying and risky updates

He is thrilled with it and it is an appropriate update from the Syma he got last year.

I now have a bricked drone after a failed firmware update.

Wonderful!!!Update

It's well built, functions fine, easy to fly and FUN, but you have to work like a dog online hunting through various websites and forums to really learn why some things do not work as you might expect

That means it WON"T FLY

,it's an excellent beginner drone ,captures great footage ,reaches great altitudes and impresses the sh*t out of everyone who sees it
