Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My father has been wanting a high quality drone for years. He has purchased a few, but has never purchased a very high-end one for himself like this. So, for his 66th birthday this year, I wanted to get him a high quality drone. I did my research and decided that DJI was, by far, the best company for drones and was going to place the order here on Amazon. The only hang up was that he was unsure which model he wanted. Sadly, I did not purchase his Mavic Pro from Amazon, although I wish I had one of the bundles that come with extra batteries (which he really needed). This ended up being a last minute gift, only because we wanted him to be able to pick out the one he wanted and he refused to tell me a definite answer, as he didn't want me to spend "too much" on him. I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep this gift a surprise, and didn't want to, because I wanted to let him pick the model he wanted. He refused, so his girlfriend and I started texting about going to a local store that is open 24 hours a day at around 2am as soon as he turned 66 to buy the one I thought he would enjoy the most. He decided it would be a good idea to read all of her text messages while she was getting ready for our after midnight adventure (which I knew he would do; he loves to read her texts) so, when he found out about my plan, he insisted on tagging along. This was perfect: I could get him to go with us and decide from his reaction which one to get him. Devious, I know, but sometimes you have to be to get someone you love the perfect gift ;) I just had to tell this backstory before giving you the pros and cons because my father said this is his favorite gift in all of his 66 years on this planet. That is extraordinary, because he has been gifted some very nice things over the years. PROS: 1. This drone is lightweight but sturdy. It has a built-in camera that pairs with almost any smart phone or tablet with ease, and takes the most beautiful and detailed aerial shots ever! 2. This drone comes with lots of extras (if purchased here on Amazon or from DJI). 3. This drone can reach amazing altitudes! Please, watch a few YouTube videos until I can post some (trust me, you will be amazed)! 4. The drone itself hovers as steady, and as silently as a hummingbird, with no tilting or shaking. 5. The take off speed is so astonishing, and the lights so amazingly bright, my father's neighbor thought she saw a UFO and came outside the first night he flew it. 6. My father has not stopped talking about this drone, and is finding new things it can do every day since his birthday. He always calls and jokes about how he is taking off or coming in for a landing and asking if it's all clear. The joy it has brought him is well worth the price a million times over. 7. I truly love DJI for making such a professional quality drone available for public use that has brought my father such endless happiness! This drone makes an amazing gift! CONS: 1. The only thing I could even list as a con is that the drone does need an FAA license to fly over certain areas, which isn't really well known before purchase. This is no big deal though, because it is easy to get and very fast to receive the licensing, proper documentation and decals. 2. This drone could inspire many to listen to "Danger Zone" on repeat while flying; it is that fast, and the aerial footage is that realistic! I would recommend DJI and the Mavic Pro to anyone who is an avid drone user, whether they are a professional, adventurer, or hobbyist! I have seen other drones in flight, and the Mavic Pro is the Top Gun of them all! Please rate my review as "Helpful" if it helped you :) I like to read reviews before buying and return the favor, so when I find a great product (or a bad one) I enjoy sharing my experiences, because I like many of you rely on reviews before purchase :)
