Perfect gateway to FPV!
If you've never flown an FPV drone in Acro mode, this is one of the best tickets to the sport.Pros1) long flight time (up to 8 minutes) is very useful for beginners as most of this time you'll be walking to pick it up2) it's built like a tank. I've lost count of times I smashed mine into obstacles or ground. It still flies! Unbelievable.3) Besides acro, there are two more forgiving modes. If you're an absolute beginner, you'll absolutely appreciate them4) Decent goggles that go over glasses and can record your flight5) Everything is pre-bound and is ready to fly out of the box. Can you put together a better kit from other components? Yes. At this price point? Mmm... Maybe. But the learning curve? You'll need to know a lot to pull together a similar kit by yourself.6) Good customer support from BetaFPVCons:1) When you get the hang of Acro, you'll discover Aquila's limitations. But hey, it's not a racing drone! It's an entry level drone that delivers tons of fun and lets you learn FPV. If you begin to feel really limited by Aquicla16, then it has served its purpose and you're ready to move onto something more serious.2) No buzzer. Would be nice for beginners.3) Camera is good only in good sunlight. Dusk makes it unusable.4) Can't configure it in BetaFlight. But if you know what BetaFlight is, you're not a beginner :-)

Honest unbiased opinion
The media could not be loaded. I’ve not had a lot of flight time with this particular drone. I do like it, a lot actually. I’m going to have to go to an open field to get the hang of it.Flight time is roughly 5-8 minutes.I see a lot of negative feedback on the camera quality, I don’t have any issue with it. I think it looks fine. Maybe I’m just not picky? I don’t know you be the judge of that.I wouldn’t say this is a beginners drone. The “slow” mode it has is still pretty quick. As stated above I don’t have an open field to practice in to actually make a full assumption if it is “too fast”.It is pretty straight forward from box to air.Which is *chefs kiss*I think it is decently priced, for me anyways.This is my first drone, I think it was a fair price point for what it does and can do.All in all I think this is a fairly good “Intermediate” drone to play with, thumbs up from me. (Although I’m just a name on your screen :D)

Good beginner
I've only lost one and bought a second one... The other day I spent an hour and a half getting it down from a tree...So amazing!Great fun. Safe to fly inside. My cats dont even mind it. Then again my cats are weirdos.Battery lasts about the advertised time given good conditions.Very tough. But be careful of any amount of wind as its props are super weak and it will be taken by the wind. When in doubt hit the switch and take the fall. Before you know it, its gone.And its so small you cant see which direction is facing from far away.1 Star off cus the camera keeps tilting upwards and I already tried tightening the screws behind it.Otheriwise. Good stuff for the money.Big hit with the boys, everyone wants a go.Id recommend flying without the goggles at first and hovering for a while. Its finnicky. But rugged.HIT THE SWITCH!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY THIS HAS TONS OF BUGS THEY NEED TO WORK OUT!
This is not even close to a "Beginner" drone.. I'm decently versed now, this is my 3rd drone, I decided to spend a good amount of money on this, I received it today, and of course all the batteries from the controller to the headset and the 2 batts they include, all dead.. I seen to have to run a channel search every time I switch a battery which is a nightmare, and takes some time even to find the video channel it uses, the picture is just horrible it just flickers in and out and a long lag time, it's like I wasted my money on this because the goggles were the biggest thing I wanted and that was to be able to pilot the drone as if I was inside it'd cockpit and these glasses? Horrible.. they flicker in and out and they do not even come close to keeping up with your controling it, huge lag time, so it makes it almost impossible to use it's most important feature I bought this for.. I'm very angry, I looked at reviews and YouTube for weeks and got this because it was supposed to be decent but it is absolutely not.. the drone itself is very fast for inside unless you use speed 1, and even in mode 2 its almost impossible to control, it goes up to the ceiling and then smacks down on the floor with even the very slightest of movement in the controller gimbal.. and I do not like the gimbal on the left where it just swings free with no spring at all.. I liked the regular spring back to center I have had in my last 3 drones.. I was so happy and excited only to be completely and totally let down.. and where is this altitude hold??? if the goggles worked correctly it would be fun but you can't fly this with the goggles, the lag is so far behind your already crashed before you see your moving through the goggles.. I'm am disgusted and very angry I bought this, I should have bought the D brand, I would have got what I paid for, but this is terrible.

Durability is solid
This is the most durable FPV drone I have flown emax is a joke. Beta FPV is the best. I do need a new motor for this drone after flying it through wet grass, but I know that’s on me. Great drone good for beginners like myself.
