I see people on YouTube with pretty good 1080p video quality for a $300 drone. I purchased this model as my first drone and I am brand new to the hobby. I use a class 10 SD card but I have absolute horrendous video quality. It just isn't anywhere near 1080p. If someone could help me or is familiar with this drone, please help!

Can you post a youtube example ? and an example of your own video footage ? Some people are attaching lightweight camera's like the Runcam 2 or Mobius. That would explain it.

Second explanation would be the weather conditions on the day. If its gloomy and cloudy with low light the footage will look worst, compared to a sunny clear day.

The Contixo F18 camera is a 720p 30fps camera that is upscaled to 1080p. It's never going to give amazing shots. It's camera is unstabilized so if the props are not balanced correctly that will introduced more vibrations in the video recording and make it look worse.

I checked out this drone model on amazon. It had 2 video links, one was missing and the other is 72op.

Are you sure you saw footage from this quad? Most of the good footage I've seen on youtube is people flying with RunCam3 or GoPro for their HD footage.
