I know that GearBest deals are a license to click the Cold button, but for a Drone with realtime WiFi video, headless mode, one-key automatic return and one-key take off and landing, this seems a very good price!

Which still exceeds the attention span of most people who will fly it.

You sound like fun! Tell me, do you throw the neighbouring children's footballs back over the fence after you've punctured them with your purpose made spike or do you keep them as a trophy?

RC control is 2.4ghz, wifi is on 2.4ghz - awful design. Don't expect any decent range or interference free flying - the 400ft limit is in no danger of being breached.
Will only be suitable for flying inside, and lag from FPV will make it near impossible, especially if it has a narrow lens.
In other words, get something like a syma x5 or x8c/g and add a proper 5.8 camera or don't bother with the camera at all
Took my chroma out the other day around valley where our office is. Had some local come out moaning saying you need a licence and its scaring his dogs 100m away and threatened to call the police. I said please do, we're not flying commercially, we're flying over 50m away not above buildings or people and if he knew his Pythagoras then he'd know it was closer to 150m, plus the 50m limit has an exception for take off and landing. If he'd have asked us nicely if we minded moving down a bit we would have.
Also is the height limit 1) 400ft above sea level, 2) 400ft above take off point, or 3) 400ft from the ground beneath the quad?
So, if:
1) - if you take off from a hill 401ft, then you're flying illegally
2) - if take off point if 2000ft up, then you can fly 2400ft?
3) - if its 400ft from directly over a quad, if you launch from a 401ft hill with a vertical drop, fly over the ridge, you're flying illegally, or if you follow a hill that goes from 0ft above sea level to 500ft, then you can fly 400ft to 900ft?

If it's actually 'wifi' video, it won't be very good for actually flying with - for the moment you still need analouge to be useful to fly with as digital introduces too much lag.

They look like paid reviews to me (and to one of the other reviewers!)
