If you do anything with this drone at all, you'll be flat out violating FAA regulations regardless. It seems to be mostly autonomous, and based on marketing and support docs, doesn't appear to have a way to comply with regulations requiring the Pilot-in-Command to always have the ability to make flightpath changes. Gesturing at it or clicking a button on a phone to 'return to home' is not enough.

That doesn't seem to be a requirement of recreational drone usage: https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/
