    Flight time not enough

    Flies great even after a couple of bumps and crashes. The flight time is not enough to enjoy drone. Either have another batter on standby or have another helicopter available. The charge time is too long for the limited flight time for this drone. When Airborne it's great!

    I bought it for my 9 year old son, however, it was too difficult for him to maneuver the drone. I am sure with time he would have mastered it, however, he does not have the patience to do so. I ended up returning it. On a side note, the camera worked really well.

    Fun drone, programmed with flips and rolls. Takes some user experience with controls prior to flying outside. Very durable, very very very short battery life. 8 minutes

    Perfect drone for a beginner, read everything online the instructions Manuel barely says anything about it. Go to parrots website for information about the drone I learned a lot of little stuff that makes my flying time better.

    This has a lot of potential. Set up was quick, even though they could have provided a better user manual that went more into depth. It takes a little getting used to for flying. It's all touch controls using your phone, so it's not very precise flying. I do like the fact that it'll hover in place even when your fingers aren't on the controls. My biggest complaint though is the battery life. Only 6-8 minutes of flying time, if even that. It takes 1.5 hours to recharge. Not very good in my opinion. If the battery life and recharge time could be improved, I would be much happier.

    Tiny pieces fall off in crashes and get lost. Battery life is horrible. Tech support had me bend battery contacts. Helped some, but they spring back with crashes. Propellers are durable, but are getting damage.

    I gave this as a gift to my husband and he loved it. The only down fall is the battery hold charged for only eight minutes.

    I bought this drone for my son for Christmas. It was alot smaller than I expected for the price. After waiting for it to charge we got it up in the air and about time we started to learn how to use it the battery died. We still have not got to master it because the batterey dies so quick. Then there is an emergency button that just makes the thing drop like a rock. When I found this out I went to Best Buy to purchase a warranty and they told me they do not offer one. Looks like I will be out of a hundred bucks soon and i only get to enjoy it for 6 minutes at a time.

    My 13 year old son did alot of product reviews before deciding on this one. We went to Best Buy because the sale price was the best around. The product was sold out (right after Christmas), but an employee quickly ordered one for us and it was delivered to our home in 2 days!!! This little drone is amazing and takes impressive video. My son controls it from his Android with ease.

    I bought this for my future son-in-law and I've never seen someone have so much fun with this drone. Easy to put together, easy to use and very durable for the number of crashes it's already endured. This is a great starter drone to learn how to fly and land it.

    I had a lot of fun with this toy. I could take video with the cam on the unit. It would go very high. I did not like the fact that you can only use it for a few minutes and its very fragile. Had to exchange it 2 times

    This drone is small, but has a lot of power. It is super easy to use for a person of any age. My teenage daughter received this as a gift for Christmas. She loves her parrot-drone. I think everyone young and old waited for their chance to try it out Christmas Day.

    Super fun drone, the jumping thing was quite effective at startling people...but, quite frankly it has a major design flaw. The spring action that loads the drone into jumping position is pretty cheaply made, just a circle of plastic on the inside with a locking mechanism. Because of the strain of holding it in the lock position, the plastic breaks pretty easily. Not a big deal if you're good with strips of aluminum and super glue, but kind of a hassle to fix, and it broke after just a few days. Hoping our Red & Green patch job will hold. Otherwise, pretty fun to play with, when it's not busted.
