Lykus DCP-MM100 Final Thoughts

"Excellent frame."

It will automatically return home if connection is lost. Then I can select to the VR mode and wear my own VR head set. There's a single button auto take-off/landing feature. You have to make sure it’s facing the same way as your glove. I was very excited to receive this Lykus DCP-MM100.

Amazon Renewed Final Thoughts

"Thanks Amazon Renewed."

I think Amazon Renewed definitely has a potential winner here. It's all very simple and straight forward to assemble. New drone shows no issues and flies very well. Without it the recordings would have cutouts and visible lag. You have to charge the batteries with a laptop or computer.
