Customers are saying

Customers find value in the AR.Drone 2.0 Elite Quadricopter's ease of use and camera quality, frequently citing it as fun and a good value for the price. However, concerns exist regarding battery life and flight time, with some users also noting challenges related to range, control in windy conditions, and wind resistance. The drone's performance in windy conditions is a recurring negative point. Improvements in these areas would enhance the overall user experience.

    This drone is my starter drone and I love it. It's so easy to use right out of the box and there are a great variety of tools and training videos. Also, if you happen to crash it and need parts, there's a huge selection and is so simple to repair anything on this drone. Perfect.

    Very easy and quick to set up and would recommend to someone who is just getting into flying drones and wants to get their feet wet for a very budget friendly price. The app that you use to fly the drone is very intuitive.

    This is the perfect drone for people who are new to the experience. Expensive enough to be nice and inexpensive enough to really hate yourself when / if you crash it.

    A few friends and I purchased the Parrot Drone as a test drone prior to purchasing a more expensive drone. We have been very disappointed. While it is very sturdy and does not break easily, it is unable to fly in any type of wind. It is terrible. We have been extremely disappointed.

    This is perfect for first time user, easy to handle and learn. Online tutorials are very helpful. Our only complaint is the battery life isn't so great, as with any of them that we read about.

    If you're going to use indoors, you need a lot of space. The iPad controller works well and the device will auto stabilize itself. Do not use if it is windy! Lots of fun so far, I'd recommend getting a spare battery or two. You only get about 10 - 15 minutes with the included battery. Also, don't buy it for the camera, it kind of sucks.

    Husband loved flying it! Batteries discharge way too fast. More expensive than it's worth. Still having fun with it almost a month after Christmas!

    This is a great drone to get your feet wet with. I wish it had a longer flying time because you get around 8-10 minutes on a single charge. The camera is very good. I wouldn't say excellent, but it does look pretty decent. If you can find it for under the msrp this is a good thing to pick up if you are looking at drones.

    I purchased this drone for my dad as a Christmas gift because he has been looking into purchasing a drone for a few months. He really enjoys flying this one, but complains that the drone disconnects from his iPhone when it gets too high. Overall, my dad tells me that it flies well and takes decent quality videos.

    I have had remote controlled airplanes and helicopters in the past which have been hard to fly but the drone I purchased from Best Buys is so easy to fly. The beginner should not have any problem flying it.

    I got this on sale for $50 to replace the same drone I accidentally drowned last year. Using the iPad for control take some getting used to but works great once you practice. Not great range and you need extra batteries. Careful of windy days and stay in the open while you get used to it.
