    What customers dislike about HYTOBP P17?

    • Lack of a physical gimbal leads to shaky, unstabilized footage unless edited with software
    • Flight time per battery is often overstated; actual real-world duration is reported to be much lower than the 20-25 minutes advertised
    • App connectivity issues have been reported, with some users unable to connect their specific smartphone models to the drone's Wi-Fi
    • Instruction manuals are sometimes missing English translations or are not very detailed
    • Build quality feels flimsy to some users due to its lightweight plastic construction
