I'd have to say this Autel has been pretty user friendly so far. It took 
a bit of work to get the compass calibration
procedure and I needed some help but after that no problem. I stayed in 
beginner mode where the altitude was
limited to 90 metres (about 100 feet) as well as the distance. Yesterday 
was my first flight beyond  beginner mode
and I took some high altitude pictures of the yard. One I posted here.. 
I forgot to take note of the actual height but
  it was considerably higher than beginner mode. I'll never need to pay 
for another aerial photo of the farm.
I think this one has the automatic return to home feature if it runs out 
of range or the battery gets low.
