XK Detect X380 is a budget quadcopter GPS drone, an impressive entry since the days of DJI Phantom 1-2, Walkera x350 Pro or Scoutx4 class.  A large community of RC pilots have been raving about the x380, so I was asked to take it for a spin and to share my personal experience.  I work for the largest RC manufacturer and have flown a variety of quadcopters the last three years.  I am actually impressed how easy it is to fly this x380.  Just the basic GPS features included RTH, Head Lock mode (Headless, IOC), Auto Take Off, a dial to pitch a gimbal, circle around, nothing extra.

After completing the motors and flight controller diagnostic, I proceeded to add a gimbal. First flight test, the Auto Take Off (just one button, perfect 3 feet high), RTH (a foot away from take-off) and Head Lock (works).
