Sadly the only way to determine the real quality of a product is to specifically look for reviews between the low to mid-range rating, the high ones don’t really reflect potential problems, downsides, etc.

_I have tested 100s of drones, many of which are pretty bad
well… much more useful if you tell use which $200-$300 is the best?
always use fakespot.com to check amazon reviews, not perfect but helpful
and is pretty much agrees on this one
let me save you time, check the last paragraph
the lower-rated Bebop 2 is a much better drone according to the specs, my testing, and thousands of enthusiasts._
The SJRC S70W from TomTop is a whole other story. It is the same drone as the HS100 but at almost a 60% discount from the Amazon price. At about $120, you would be hard-pressed to find a better GPS camera drone. The features are far less buggy than much of the competition and it flies pretty well. Our insider tells us that the wholesale price of the S70W is about $70-80._
