- Very lightweight carbon frame. Total drone weight with battery is only 95 grams. This drone does not require registration in most countries.

- Also includes altitude hold pressure sensor. This enables automatic height control of the drone.
- Comes with two 3.7V 1100mah batteries that provides approximately 10 minutes of flight time each.
- App uses common 2.4 Ghz WiFi which is available on nearly all phones.
- Potensic Toy app provides ability to view real time in-flight video from the drone, and record this video (or photos) to your phone. The Potensic Toy app is available here on Google Play http://bit.ly/ElfinApp, or here on the Apple App Store http://bit.ly/Elphin-App.
Cons
- No SD card recording capability. Video and photos are recorded to your phone only via 2.4Ghz Wifi (with inherent WiFi limitations).
- Advertised with 2K camera. However, video and photos can only be recorded/saved at much lower 720p resolution.
- Installing the provided propeller guards can cause the drone to fly erratically. It is best not to install them.
- Brushed motor drone. The motors may someday require replacement.
