Have had a Spry+ for less than two (2) years. Have practiced a lot with the Spry+ drone as it is not as near as stable in the air as a DJI drone. Compass, gyro and also IMU have to be calibrated before each flight day and sometimes even before each flight to have a somewhat stable flight. You also need to have close to no wind and 10+ satellites connected. Beside all these precautions taken the drone recently started hopping and dancing around in the air and sounding weird. I immediately commanded the Spry+ drone to fly out over the lake, where I was getting ready to film, to make an emergency landing. The Spry+ drone completely ignored my commands and flew in the direct opposite direction crashing into trees and falling 8-10 meters to the floor of the forest and breaking off the GPS antenna. I wrote a kind mail to Swellpro explaining the events and kindly asked for a warranty repair or replacement. Swellpro replied: "You can send your drone to our distributor in the UK and negotiate with him about the cost of repairs". I will of course not send more good money after the bad money I have spent on this way too expensive Spry+ drone concerning the quality in both the product and the (non-existing) service. I cannot give Swellpro any recommendations and would instead recommend anyone looking to buy a drone to stay with the proven and excellent quality of DJI drones.
