For the price, I think it's a good drone for beginners. With the auto take off and landing, it makes for easy control.
And it has a camera for stills and video.
The only down side is the short flight time, 7 mins.
Comes with an extra battery and propellers and guards .
I plan on going bigger after much practice with this one.

For what it is and what it will cost you I honestly don't think this drone can be beat. I will go over some pros and cons for potential buyers to review.
Pros:
-Great flight stability. Remember, this is not a GPS drone and while it will maintain a relatively stable altitude, it will drift. Also don't be surprised when it drifts in the wind even a slight breeze, this is normal.
-Drone has three different speed settings. This is particularly good for beginners in that you are able to slow down the control response while you learn. I was very impressed with the speed and maneuverability in high speed mode. The only downside to beginner mode is that the drone was unable to make headway in a breeze in excess of 8-10mph.
-The LED lights are just really cool and make it a blast to play with at night.
-Comes with two batteries.
-The controller is very impressive and is something you would typically see with a more expensive drone.
-The protocol website has just about every replacement part available, and batteries are only $10.
-Has land/takeoff button
Cons:
-Battery life, currently I am only getting 6-8 min of solid flight. Wish it was longer.
-Camera, while its hard to complain here knowing the price point, the camera is just awful. I didn't buy it for filming so I'm not going to take away from this drone's rating because the camera is bad.
-Range, this drone is programmed that when it goes out of range it will begin to slowly land. My typical range has been between 100-120 ft before that happens. I consider the range okay at best.
So overall I am impressed, for the money I would certainly recommend this drone. However, if you are buying this to film your vacation or take family photos I can assure you that it is not a good economical replacement to drones made by DJI, Parrot, Autel, ETC...

I currently own a Maverick Pro but bought this drone for my nephew. At first I had a hard time getting to drone to simply hover, it would take off quickly in any random direction but after a few tweaks from the remote I was able to get it flying within 20 minutes. I’m spoiled with my Maverick being able to hover at an extra location and maybe expected more out of this one. Tho I only paid $40 for this drone and $1,200 for my maverick. I think it’s the perfect starter drone for my nephew. I wish I could find more batteries as they last less then 10 minutes and take close to an hour to recharge. I would love to know where I could get more batteries

Read instructions, follow instructions for every flight. If you fly a lot you'll be fine. Make sure to start flying in open area. Don't try to bite off too much at once. Stick to basics until get good.
I love the drone. Its fun. Downside shooting, camera doesn't like direct sunlight.
A:I do have to admit - I still can’t fly that thing with confidence!! It took a while for my husband to fly comfortably as well.
It’s definitely not a turn it on & go kind of drone. It takes more than a few tries to get it stable.
Idk your particular skill set with remote control items but speaking to an average person with average experience- it will take a WHLE to keep steady & contiously fly.
Best of luck! Check out my review- it might answer some questions to help you better decide your next move depending on how serious you take drones.
Best of luck
