Customers are delighted by the Vento Wifi Drone's ease of use and camera quality, finding it particularly fun and easy to control, even for beginners. However, some users noted that the drone's small size and short flight time were drawbacks. The price point was also frequently praised as reasonable for the features offered.
Why a 5 star rating. This is not my only drone but it was my first. I recommend for indoor fun. Due to it being light weight it is terrible when flying in breezy weather. It's pretty tough and endured some collisions that would have totalled my high end drones. The drone mostly is manual so it requires your attention at all times. It's constantly moving and you'll need to keep it in its fly zone or you'll lose control of it. It has a RF remote (preferred) which makes it very responsive. Something about having an actual controller makes me "feel" more secure vs WiFi on screen controller using your phone or tablet. You can download the app that allows you to capture videos and photos using mobile device. Comes with 2 batteries and gives you around 5 to 10 minutes play time. Charge time is fairly quick as well which its charging cable fits into your standard USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on PC, phone adapter or charging stations. It was well worth the price. I wouldn't necessarily call this a newbie drone though, more intermediate. What I didn't like about this drone is nothing so far. Hope this review helps.

You can get this guy moving pretty good! As far as durability, I'd say good. The picture I posted was taken after smashing it into a chain-link fence. Other than some grass stains it looks and flies like new. At first, I thought the folding propeller arms were kind of a gimmick. It actually makes a huge difference! The drone becomes much easier to pack and the propellers a lot less prone to snagging on things in your bag. That makes this a great travel drone!

Great drone to try out and learn how to fly before investing into a more expensive one.
