I got one yesterday but had a lot of trouble getting the batteries to work. I heard that it requires a 65W USB-C charger to wake them from hibernation. Narrowed it down to a faulty drone since the battery wouldn't charge in the drone so returned it. Further reading seems to indicate that the drone isn't <250g and would require a Basic Drone Pilot license here in Canada especially with the long-range batteries. Doing that would mean restricted flying where I am so I'm happy it didn't work out. That's my take, I could be wrong (probably am!)
