VCUTECH Final Thoughts

"Good quality!"

I love this VCUTECH Video Camera, it is a beast in a small package! It came with a sleek remote control. Batteries, no reason to stress them like that. I think the VCUTECH app will take some getting used to. So no complaints here.

"I was right."

I have some really cool ideas for them. Really the best VCUTECH Video Camera for the money! You have to charge the batteries with a laptop or computer. Not Only Can You Learn On The DJI CP.ZM.000242. Those will simplify drone flying a lot for beginners.

"So far so good."

It is really easy to use for me and my kids. They made it right by sending a replacement. The camera on this thing is awesome. We are currently having 12-15MPH gusts of wind. Also a great feature is the One Key Return to Home button.

"Cheers!"

I tried an 128G SD card and it worked. It has a one year warranty that I hope applies. This action camera is amazing for the price! A wonderful assortment of accessories were included. But the misrepresentation of the angle will cost a star.
