Only 23 mins? That is not terribly useful at least for any serious matters like, say, search and rescue operations.

Sounds like youre using the wrong tool for the task at hand. However, it also sounds like you've never personally experienced the ~23 minutes of flight time and the amount of ground that can be covered. It's way more impressive than you are dismissing.
You're getting downvoted because your complaint makes it seem like this is a problem with the particular model. 23 minutes is probably even above average for drone flight times. Don't be so kneejerk negative.
>... say, search and rescue operations.

Oh good grief. If that is the use case, you get something designed for that.

That's incredible, it's almost as if it's not optimized for search and rescue.
