So far I really like this quadcopter and although it's my first "real" quad (had an X5C before) there are already some things I would wish for on this.

- Telephoto zoom lens would be totally awesome!!
- A mic would be nice. Yeah I know lots of buzzing and stuff but sound can be removed easily and it's much harder to place the dog bark or other sounds where needed. A mic with an enable or disable feature would be great.
- Device charger from the remote. Yeah, it may drain the battery just a bit on the remote but I can't imagine it being significant and it would be great if it even just maintained a charge to the phone/tablet to keep from draining it.
- Flashing lights as warnings?? How about easy to read indicators on the FPV device or something?
- Proximity sensors. I haven't found a real need for anything I have done yet but can see this as being a plus at some point. Integrated into the FPV to tell you how far objects are from the camera.. now we're talking...
- Downloadable DJI Director app for Mac or PC so I don't have to do this stuff on the phone, connected to the remote, streaming from the quadcopter.. :-/
- Easy to find/post flight logs. Maybe it is but I haven't found it yet.
- Wasp costume. Say what?? Everyone says it sounds like a big wasp. Very surprised someone hasn't come up with a big wasp costume to make folks on the ground look up and see a giant wasp flying around. Now that would be funny!!


This isn't a review but I really want to complement this quadcopter too.
- Rock solid stability, thanks GPS and VPS!!
- Easy to fly and maneuver. Hovers like a dream.
- Feature rich with the DJI pilot app. Almost everything can be set on the 'fly', pardon the pun.
- 20+ minute flight time. Awesome!
- Range of the remote and video. Wow.. If you only knew what I have done to the X5C with antenna mods JUST to get another 10+ meters out of it.. OMG.. This is heaven.
- Video is so crisp and clean and beautiful. People have commented how it looks like professional filming.
- Fast! 35mph is hauling but then again I'm new to this market so what do I know... ;-)
- FPV. This is so cool. Even on my dinky iPhone 6 screen.
- Remote features. Having so many controls on the remote is great.
- Return to home that sets the home point at each location automatically (with a strong GPS signal) Yeah, I heard the stories of the drone that flew home to the last home point only to never be seen again..

Probably because I have a fear of running into a tree so I fly 100' to make sure I don't fly into a tree. Either that or I have a buddy that wants to build compound for when our economy collapses and thinks having some drones to patrol would be a good idea. If you are going to spy you need a telephoto. :)

So your lack of response on the Wasp Costume must mean you agree with that which would also be a great disguise allowing closer views with the camera undetected... hmmm... ;-)

You know I wouldn't be surprised if some one came out with a slip on multiplier. I think that very thing is one of peoples biggest concerns about these though...telephoto capabilities, not wasp costumes, that is. For post-apocalyptic recon though, it would be a pretty solid feature.
 
I'd love to have dual cameras so we could have 3dish stereoscopic vision with some of these new 3d headsets coming out.
