    Easy to put together if you ignore supplied manual. Still, product is well constructed. Battery life is weak.

    Very light in weight! Can not fly in the wind. Easy to use and fpv with the app is cool! Good size to fly indoors and well protected if crashed. Camera has medium quality of video and pictures.

    I bought this and practiced quite a bit inside. After a few days I took it outside and raised it about 50 feet in the air. A wind grabbed it and that was the last I saw of it. I would suggest that if you are looking for an outdoor drone, this might not be the best one for you to try.

    The biggest issue I have with this is that the controller was made way too cheap.

    Our drone went rogue!

    We bought this drone because it had decent reviews. The first time we took it out, we were able to handle it pretty well. The second time we took it out, it went rogue and flew off into the sky until it disappeared. My son said it was as though it started drifting toward a mother ship as soon as it took off. Perhaps this was due to our inexperience, but the fact that it didn't follow any of our commands makes me wonder if it was entirely our fault. Would not recommend.

    The drone has poor battery life

    The drone comes with one battery and takes 2-hours to charge. It only gives you 7-minutes of flight time. You can buy extra batteries online for $5/battery to help with this in between. flights.

    Was a great deal and may have been a fluke but I wasn't able to get the drone to fly. Motor would run, everything would charge but the propellers would never spin and it wouldn't fly.

    For the money this drone is very nice. The pic quality is surprisingly good. The one down fall I the weight. It's very light and the wind makes it interesting when you try to keep it hovered in one place but make it is my skills that s the issue. Overall you can't go wrong.

    I bought this drone as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. He loves it, now all of his friends want one. My favorite part is the live feed camera. I just wish the camera was of higher quality. Other than that, this drone trumps over any other amatuer drone I've seen.

    It's okay for a first drone to try. Really lightweight so if it's really windy outside I don't recommend flying it. It was kinda hard to connect to the phone and the charging for it is kinda weird.

    This was the 2nd drone I purchased, much better than the first one. My husband is technologically challenged and this drone is easy for him to operate and sync with his phone. Bought one for my son also and he really enjoys it!

    I am a little disappointed with the amount of flying time 7 minutes on a fully charged battery. Also the propeller's tend to fall off during flight.

    For $200, it's definitely not worth it. The Android app barely worked, it never recorded any video, the drone itself was terribly hard to control, it didn't hover, and as soon as it lifted from the ground, here it comes barreling toward my shins and hurting me. It always kept flying backward no matter how many adjustments I made to it.the controller was also quite unresponsive from time to time. Decent product for beginners or kids, but never for $200.

    This drone works great if you do not have wind. It can get away in the wind very easily.
