This drone didn't have problems as quickly as the last drone. This drone clicks buttons and just takes off. I like the headless mode option when controlling the drone. I feel like the drone is easier to control with headless mode on because I no longer need to have to tell which way the drone is going while it's flying in the air. I like the fact that it has a color setting and the light when headless mode is on lets you know which side is the front. This makes it much more convenient. There are a variety of nice lights to choose from when headless mode is not turned on, and the lighting is spectacular. The size is good too. I think this drone is safer than other kids drones. My 8 year old controls it well and all the kids love it. Even our 1 year old and our family pets are intrigued by it. It doesn't get much better than this. Charging is good too, much better than the old one. Plus, you get two batteries to extend the flight time by using one to charge while using the other. I can't wait to take it out on my next trip to the park, the kids are going to have so much fun with it, and giving them the freedom to fly through the air and learn how to control the craft without something getting in the way might be a good place to start. Maybe we can even get the 4 year old to try it outside, we'll see then. All in all I love it. Buy this.

My son and our puppy love it. My son chased the puppy with this drone for a good 15 minutes as our puppy running ahead! Because the drone has 2 batteries, each battery can fly for almost 8 minutes! My son loved playing with RC helicopters around the house since he was younger, and this drone has upgraded his fun. This drone can fly back and forth across the yard quickly, and it moves more quickly and is more responsive than the clunky RC helicopters. The controls are also much more intuitive, and my kids got the hang of it pretty quickly. The speed is switchable via the remote control, one-touch up and down, and the paddle protectors make this drone a super safe toy for kids to play with, and even if it crashes it doesn't matter, it's completely harmless.The great design of the LED lights makes it even more attractive, and I even think it's LEDs are brighter than the light strips in my yard.

This drone is awesome for kids learning to fly a drone for the first time. It's got obstacle avoidance on by default, so it'll back away when it gets too close to something. And if it does hit something by chance, it's protected by sturdy guards on all four sides, so it's basically crash proof. It's perfect for indoor flying. If you take it outside, just keep it low to avoid any wind carrying it away. The cool lights on it are a huge hit, my kids love flying it in the dark, with the lights flashing like little stars! Plus, it can do flips in the air, which makes it feel like a little fairy dancing around. I should've bought two from the start because my kids fight over it every time! Just ordered another one so they each have their own.

I have to say, getting a drone like this at such a price feels like a steal. It's super responsive with no noticeable lag, and the controls are really straightforward. You just use the two joysticks to fly it around effortlessly. The two batteries give you over 15 minutes of flight time, which means my kid can really enjoy the light show at night. Honestly, I recommend flying it in the evening because the lights look absolutely stunning then. Even though it doesn't have a camera, it's perfect for kids to play with. It also comes with extra propellers and a nice gift box, making it a fantastic gift option.

At first, I didn't think this was something to look forward to (I thought it was cheap) ...... Not at all! It came with 2 batteries, remote control, charging cable and some accessories. I was scared when I saw that there were accessories (I'm not very good at assembling things), but in the end, I realized that they were given as extras and that the product doesn't need to be assembled, it's just something that you can replace and use by yourself after a possible damage. The instructions are very detailed, with written descriptions and illustrations, which made learning very easy. Once the batteries are installed, follow the instructions and you're ready to fly! It's fast, not the slow toy you might expect, and the remote control is super easy to use and operate. The lights are bright and colorful. There is an amazing tumble feature and obstacle avoidance. I know my nephew will love it and have a great time playing with it. I also feel comfortable letting him play with it because of the protective cover. The battery on the flyer ran out quickly, but that may have been because I didn't charge it before the flight. The flight lasted 10 minutes on a full charge and it has two batteries! I hope it works for you!

My kids love this drone! I call it an entry level drone because it's so easy to use, it doesn't require the prep maneuvers that more advanced drones do before taking off, and there aren't all sorts of data to pay attention to, just turn on the power - hit the one button to take off - and push the joystick. Of course I would recommend doing a calibration before takeoff, which goes a long way towards a smooth flight. It's perfect for my six year old to handle, and although this company says this product is suitable for ages eight and up, I think it's something that younger children could learn to do as well, and the paddles are protected by a ring of sturdy plastic, so I'm not worried about it hurting the kids. Both of my kids love the lights on it, their favorite part was going out on the rooftop at night and having the drone turn on the spinning feature and then letting it dance, the lighting effects at night are really great. My favorite thing about the drone itself is that it comes with two rechargeable batteries, enough for a 15+ minute flight, and it charges very quickly. I would definitely recommend this product for kids who want to get into drones but don't want to spend too much.

This was a nice surprise! I was hesitant at first due to the low price—I worried it might break easily. But since the company offered a one-year warranty, I decided to give it a try. When I received it, I was surprised by how sturdy it looked, and it’s held up really well. My son has been playing with it daily , and it’s still going strong. It has four durable guards and an obstacle avoidance feature, which keeps it from getting damaged even if it bumps into things. Plus, it comes with extra propellers, so we can replace them ourselves if needed. The battery doesn’t last super long, but they provide two batteries, which is enough to keep the fun going, and they charge pretty quickly. It’s very easy to fly—no complex skills needed—and my son picked it up right away. Overall, really happy with this purchase!

This drone is a good choice for beginners, and it’s great for flying in the yard at dusk or in the dark because the lights are really cool. The propellers are gear driven, not the popular brushless motors, but it’s super quiet. It comes with two batteries, giving it a decent flight time, and it even includes extra propellers. Although I doubt we’ll need them because there’s a propeller guard that prevents most bumps. It’s definitely a safe little drone. For the price, it’s great value. There’s no camera, but for beginners, it’s enough. It’s simple to use, and the flight range is plenty for backyard flying.

Took about an hour to fully charge the battery and it does come with an extra battery plus 2 extra propellers. My 10 yr old grandson easily figured out the remote controller and flew it inside the house. Multiple colored lights makes it fun to fly in the dark. Lots of fun and educatonal......enhances eye/hand coordination. Air time was about 10m. Good value for the money and very pleased with this purchase. Recommend this drone.

We recently purchased this drone with LED lights and it's definitely a hit in our household! It comes with brightly colored LED lights that are visible during the day and look even cooler at night, making it an exciting flying experience for kids both indoors and outdoors. The drone is so intuitive for kids that they don't need much instruction to use it. Thanks to the altitude hold feature, it stayed in flight well and didn't crash into the lawn during their few early attempts. Its 3D flip feature adds a thrill to playtime, and we've been having a lot of fun trying to master the flip trick! We recommend going to a park or wide open area to fully enjoy its features. It's so much fun and definitely a great gift, both boys and girls will love it. Great drone!

This mini drone is hands down my kid's favorite toy! It's small enough to fly indoors, and the colorful LED lights add so much fun, especially when the room is dim, the lights really pop! The one touch takeoff and landing is perfect for beginners, making it super easy for even the youngest pilots to use. The headless mode helps a lot too, since kids don't have to worry about keeping track of which way it's facing. My kids love the 360 flip feature, it adds a thrilling twist to their flying fun! It also comes with two batteries, so they get longer playtime without waiting for a recharge. This drone is such a great gift for kids, boys or girls, bringing hours of fun and laughter. If you're looking for a fun, safe, and easy to use flying toy for kids, I totally recommend this mini drone!

This is a great drone. It has protective guards around all four propellers, which is fantastic for keeping kids safe. The controls are so straightforward that my 9-year-old picked it up quickly without any help from me. The lights are really cool, with several different modes, making it easy to see the drone at night and adding an impressive touch. With just a press of a button, the drone can do flips and spins, which is super cool. It also has obstacle avoidance on all sides, so my kid hasn't crashed it into anything in the house yet. It comes with two batteries, giving plenty of playtime, and they charge up pretty fast too. My kid loves it, and so do I!

The main reason I chose this mini drone was for its lights. After I bought it, it arrived quickly, and I gave it a try. The operation is super simple, making it perfect for beginners. Just like the ads said, the lights are beautiful and you can switch between different colors. But soon, I discovered a few features I had overlooked. The flip and spin tricks are really cool, and the headless mode is a great feature for beginners. The protective guards are a thoughtful design, ensuring user safety. Even if it bumps into something, it won't get damaged because it just bounces back without a scratch. More importantly, it hardly ever crashes because it has an obstacle avoidance feature. It backs away when it detects obstacles, and even though this feature works about 80% of the time, it's still pretty impressive.

This drone is a fantastic gift for kids who love drones. With one button takeoff and landing, altitude hold, and headless mode, it’s really easy for kids who are just starting out. The propeller guards make flying safe, lowering the risk of accidents. The colorful lights make it fun to fly, with different color combinations to choose from. It can even do tricks in the air with just one button! The controls are simple and perfect for children, so I didn’t even have to teach him. It comes with two batteries for longer playtime. Overall, this little drone is both fun and functional, and my young pilot can’t get enough of it. A fantastic gift!

For my kid, this product was a great choice. While it's not as powerful or equipped with a camera as other drones we've bought, it's definitely great for kids and a great way to start familiarizing them with how drones work. I felt very safe letting my 7 year old son play with this drone. The paddles are nicely wrapped in four circles and basically don't come into contact with the outside world. I've been hurt by a drone's paddles before, and that's not a feeling I want my child to experience. Having two batteries, the flight time is perfect for me.The LED's are excellent and the lights go with different modes. At an affordable price, you can make flying fun for kids, and the tumble feature is great! Either way, it's a great gift and I think he'll enjoy it for a long time.

I was looking for a fun but affordable gadget for my kids, and this drone is perfect! Its mini size makes it easy for even my little ones to hold. It's budget friendly but doesn't feel cheap at all, the sturdy frame handles bumps and crashes without an issue. It's super easy to set up and very beginner friendly. The controls are simple, just using the remote, so the kids can fly it by themselves without any extra help. It also has awesome lights, so it's easy to see whether it's day or night. It's durable, safe, and loads of fun, a fantastic gift for any kid who's up for a little adventure!

This is such a fun toy drone! Really easy to use—my nephew and I figured it out in under 5 minutes. We tried it indoors first, then took it outside, and it was super stable in both places. The lights are cool, and it can even do flips! I did crash it a few times with the obstacle avoidance off, but the prop guards kept it safe. It's been a blast flying with the kids, and I might get more to gift to friends' kids!

When I first got this drone, I was a bit skeptical about whether it was really a drone because it felt so different from my friends' drones. But once it took off, I realized it was actually really cool. After a super simple setup, the drone was ready to fly, and I think anyone could understand how to operate it in just a minute. Just a gentle push on the joystick, and the drone moves in the direction you want, almost like an extension of your own body. It can go forward, backward, and even do flips—it seems like it can do anything! But I have to hand it over to my daughter since it's really for her. I'm not worried about her playing with it at all because it has sturdy protective guards around the spinning propellers, so it won't hurt her. Plus, it has this obstacle avoidance feature that makes it back away when it senses something in its path, which really boosts safety. The lights are a big hit with my daughter; she loves switching between different colors with the button, and she's having a blast. I think this purchase was totally worth it!
