    I don't have that particular drone, but I'm asking a stupid question - are you sure you read the instructions properly and it was set to record? Some of these types of drone can be pretty obscure with how they let you know they are recording - sometimes a camera light might flash, sometimes not, sometimes a light is green, or red, or purple, they're all pretty random sometimes and don't make a lot of sense. I'm often like, "so what does that blue light mean (or whatever), is it actually recording or not?!" and end up having to try it in the house and taking the card out to see if anything happened.

    I guess it's either broken then, or you're not doing sometjhing you're supposed to do? Can you take yours to your friend's and see if they can get it to work, then you will know if it's you doing something wrong or if the drone is broken?
