    Whats sucks about newer models is although they got cool features that older models don't have, it doesn't give you the option to shut off the shock protection because while it does continue to play even though you take a jog, hit a bump or even tap it, it doesn’t really give you the best cd quality sound since it is stored in a compressed audio. That's why I prefer older models that play directly from a CD. But if you want to listen to it wherever you go, this is the one.

    i bought the same drone. It does not like wind so write your address or phone number on it with a sharpie. It can be hard to find. That said, it is my fist drone and i am doing about the same as you with it, however, my nephew is 14 and he was flying it all around the yard with remarkable accuracy - he can keep it in the yard and go around objects etc - so it has a lot to do with your skill level. It flies for about 7 minutes. i ordered a 1200Mah battery for it to get about 15 minutes of fly time. It is a very good drone to learn on. i am having fun with it. For $30-40 i would say it was a GREAT purchase. I have crashed it about 10 times and it lost the propeller covers, it still flies just fine though so it is remarkably durable.

    I saw a video showing to NOT zoom with the Wolverine and do the crop later in post editing. This makes a huge difference. The video with the digital zoom of the converter is riddled with compression artifacts. The video with no zoom is virtually artifact free.

I switched to OBS Studio, I use an Orei HDMI splitter and for retro consoles I just use a cheap AV to HDMI converter. Over a year ago I watched this review and it helped me to make the decision of buying this capture card as I was always interested in recording my gameplay. This was a great video and thanks for the help.

But it's still fun to use. I even modded the lens to be able to adjust the focus. There's also apparently a "premium" version of it with a selfie camera in the "viewfinder" hole. If you open it up you'll see it has the same screw holes for a camera image sensor as the front one.
