Exceptional adapters that focus to infinity with my Sony a6000...
Part 1 - Minolta MD to Sony NEX adapterTechnically, it slightly overshoots infinity but the issue is easily corrected by dialing back the focus ring just a tad --- Not exact but clearly better than not-at-all.Although very light due to extensive aluminum usage, the build quality and fit-and-finish of the adapter is superb. Connections on the lens and camera mount sides are tight and precise --- absolutely, zero slop. The top of the lens release button is flattened making the lens removal process very easy and comfortable.Other notes:- There are no electrical connections so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens itself- When mounting the lens, turn the adapter clockwise till you hear a "click"- Tested with a Minolta 85mm f/1.7 Rokkor-X MD lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera-----------------------Part 2 - Nikon Ai to Sony NEX adapterEdit: Based on my positive experience with the Minolta MD adapter, I also purchased the Nikon Ai adapter later.As with the Minolta MD adapter, the Nikon Ai version focuses beyond infinity a tiny bit. Fortunately, the same solution applies - dial back the focus ring and the horizon will become crystal clear. The build quality is impeccable and the finish is smooth and clean of burrs or machine marks. Connections on both sides are taut and precise with zero play.Additional notes for Nikon Ai adapter:- No electrical connections present so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens.- Unlike the Minolta MD adapter, mounting the lens for Nikon adapter requires a counter-clockwise turn until you hear the "click" of the locking mechanism- Tested with a Nikon Micro Nikkor 55m f/2.8 Ai-S MF lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera

amazing drone!
Me and my kids absolutely LOVE this drone! Once you get used to it its fairly easy to control and we love the quality of the camera and using the app to control with my phone is awesome. You have to option to use the remote that comes with the drone or the app to connect your phone and the remote controller holds your phone and has has a button for 360 flip, the kids love that feature. This drone has MANY awesome features like the return and much more. The carrying case is also a huge plus, very good quality and very durable drone. I highly recommend!!

Don’t even bother with the camera
This drone is perfect for learning how to fly while not worrying about crashing or breaking it, it’s very durable and lightweight. I highly recommend this drone to beginners.~Note the camera is absolute garbage it doesn’t work and looks terrible but otherwise the drone is great!These cheaper kinds of drones without GPS, RTH, sensors, poor control, etc make you a better pilot than people who use a DJI because you’re actually having to acomadate for wind, altitude and speed. Furthermore when or if you upgrade to a fancyer drone it will be easier for you. (Just my experience)

More than I expected!
This drone came with wing protectors and extra battery and extra wings Incase of crashes. Coming from never using remote control play, this took a little practice to fly and take video and pictures at the same time. I think a savvy kid or person will not have any issues. The directions is missing one step in which you turn on the drone and connect via Wi-Fi to the drone for the camera to work. Fortunately the Amazon tech team was a-maxing!!! The drone flew higher than a tall 2 story house. I would reccomend practicing in a open field on non windy days.

Nice Little Drone
The media could not be loaded.
First off I would like to say this would be a nice starter drone for beginners, the ease of learning this drone impressed me right off the bat. Set up was a breeze, open the arms, inspect the drone(before every flight)turn on the drone and pair with remote, don't forget to calibrate the gyros on a level surface. once you take to the are it is pretty stable, with just a little trim it will hover in place with little correction. There are three speed setting, low is great for stable flight for still pictures and video, medium spices it up a bit and good for still shots, now if you like a little excitement high is a lot off fun, very quick and responsive. I've flown it indoors and out and have found no real negative aspects to this drone. the camera is what you would expect from a drone of this price, it takes nice pictures and fair video but for something to learn on it's well worth the money. I would give this drone to any youngster. As far as a more experienced pilot it will be a great change of pace and a lot of fun. Fly Safe.

Best gift of 2020
The first drone i got has some issues with the gimbal. It was hard to control the drone. Not sure if it’sa bug or manufacturing defect. However i was given s replacement right away. It’s one of the best purchases if you are a videographer.

Good drone for both children and adults
The drone is very small and light, which is perfect for travel. It is very easy to setup and install everything, taking ~5 mins. If you ever flied other drones before, there is no learning curve. If not, it may take some time to get used to the controller. It doesn't take very long for my 4-year old to learn about the control. The app works well on iOS so far. Easy to connect with the drone. Haven't tested the range though. The video isn't as clear as expected, but is clear enough for the entertainment purpose. It is awesome to have the real-time video function so that you can control the drone from the first-person point of view. By the way, it seems that the app can also be used to control the drone. But the joy stick is much easier and more intuitive to control the drone.

Great little Drone
I'm having a blast with my drone learning how to use it. I'm a complete beginner and it was easy to pick up and learn. Been doing photography for over 12 years and slowing learning video and having fun with my drone.
