Not a bad purchase for the money but note the screen on the controller is not streaming video for the copter.

We read many reviews before we bought this one. After having it for a day the first one fell apart. We though it might be defective so we exchanged it. The second one we bought was even worse. It flew sideways out of the box.

First time I used it the drone flew off out of control and could not locate. Found the exact same drone on EBay for a third of the price.

The dromium is a little tricky to fly, it's light weight lets it get blown around in even gentle breezes. Camera takes OK videos but not to the Level of a GoPro.

It is a nice little drone, I just wish it had vertical hold like the Dronium 2 ap. But, you really can't find it on Amazon, they both cone up with no difference. I would have gotten the AP. But, it is easy to practice in the house.

This is a great entry level drone. It takes a lot of practice to get it to fly straight and hover, but once you have the hang of it, it is pretty smooth.

Worked great for 32 days, 2 day's past the warranty period. . Nice drone but suddenly it just stopped working. .for the money i would have expected it to last longer .. it was handled gently, so I'm guessing it was a faulty motor. . Contacted the manufacturer and all they wanted to do was sell me a new motor .. i would not purchase this again

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he immediately took it out into our backyard and flew it into an extremely tall tree. It was impossible to get down because it was stuck in branches higher than the top of our two story house. So there it stayed. Outside enduring rain, sleet, storms, snow, wind, heat, cold until it finally fell out of the tree 5 months later. He charged it up, we took it to a nearby park (far away from trees) AND IT WORKED. I could not have been more shocked. He was even able to get the images from it. He seems to have a lot of fun with it and it isn't too hard to learn to fly, so I'm really happy with my purchase.

Perfect starter quad w/ video

I wanted a drone with camera for a while, but am not a pro. But this one is A really good choice for starters like me. Fun and simple to fly-- I'm excited like a kid when I fly it. It's perfect choice as a first step into aerial videos. But it's fairly light weight, so only fly it when there is not much wind. I had no trouble at all to get the hang of it, but I took it easy and am careful. I recommend getting an extra battery to get more frequent flights.

Not a bad little QuadCopter!

It takes a little while to learn to control, but it's pretty stable once you master it. It's very light so even a little breeze will take it off course, but I had a lot of fun with it! For the price, it's not bad!

Protocol's 30 day warrantee is worthless

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought a Protcol Dronium Remote-Controlled Quad-Copter-Silver. It was lot of fun to fly, but on the fourth time I flew it, something went wrong. One rotor and sometimes two would not operate. I had been very careful with the Quad Copter and had never crashed it. Since it was under a 30 day warrantee, I contacted Protocol's customer service. They said it was an "out of box" warantee only and since I had flown it, they would not honor their 30 warrantee. I had many back and forth emails but they would not budge. What they told me was completely different from what the warrantee said that came with the product. It said which said it was warranteed for 30 days against defective parts. I took the Quad Copter back to Best Buy in Terre Haute. The young person in custormer service was polite, but said their return policy was limited to 15 days from purchase. I talked to a manager and showed him the back and forth emails from Protcol. The manager was very professional. Since the Quad Copter was in perfect condition other than the non working rotors and obviously had not been crashed, he made an exception gave me a gift certificate that allowed me to order a new one since they did not have one in stock. Yea Terre Haute Best Buy. Boo Procol!
