It flies very smooth and it's super easy to control. The camera has really sharp images and captures pristine aerials of my city! I would recommend to everyone looking for their first drone!

Great drone for beginners! Easy to setup and use. Works very well.
The app on your phone allows you to see the drone camera.
One thing to note is that the battery does not last too long so get a spare one if you can.

This is the second Protocol drone we have purchased over the years. This model is an update for us and we were greatly impressed with its improved functions. It is easy to fly and maneuver. One nice thing compared to the older model is that you can restart the drone without being near it. So when we crashed onto the roof we didnt have to get a ladder to reset it or anything, we were able to stay on the ground and reset eith the controller and begin flying again! Such a nice drone for the money! Ibwould recommend going on Amazon and purchasing extra batteries because the battery doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes.

Purchased this as Christmas gift for 12 year old, like the take off and land feature, pretty easy to fly, used for several hours, without having to replace any parts! Usually only get a few min before I crash them.

Not great. It is tiny and a bit hard to control, ESPECIALLY, when calibrating for it to hover. The camera is not actually that bad depending on what you are shooting. Due to inexperience and wind conditions, I put it in the ocean almost immediately. I would suggest the DJI Mavic Air 2

Nice quality droid for a beginner. My 8 year old tends to get it stuck in trees or the house...easy to control. We are lucky to be able to get it free when lost in flight!

This is a sweet almost indestructible drone. My only beef is extremely short battery life. Hidden in the box you find the battery takes 1.5 hours to charge and gives 5 whole minutes of flight.

Slightly smaller & lighter than the HS720E. New smart battery is nice in that you only need a cable to charge- no more charger to carry around. I’m very happy with the purchase so far.

I bought this for my Grandson's birthday and on it's first flight the wind caught it and that was the last we saw of it. I bought another and we are going to try again indoors or ion a calm day.

I had SOOO much fun with this! Super compact, easy to use, and holds up well after the guaranteed crashes of beginners. Sadly I lost mine to a gust of wind at mad hight :/ 100% user error. Camera kinda stinks, but If you’re looking for that sort of thing a drone like this won’t be on your radar anyway. 10/10 would recommend for beginners
