OK helicopter, very short flight time, poor remote control connectivity and the camera is not worth the extra money. The spare parts are minimal and too expensive to buy online. I will not buy anything from this manufacturer again.

Item was defective out of the box and could not be steered. 45-60 minutes of charging required for 5 min of play time. It is nice that it recharges off USB so you don't waste batteries, but you have to be near an outlet/computer to charge it. Additionally, you can't see what you record until you download the video, so the video aspect is not much fun.

This was my first RC Chopper. It was a little tricky to learn how to operate but that was expected. After a few tries though I was having fun with it. I sat it to the side for a week or so and then when I tried to use it again I couldn't stop it from going forward. When new it could hover and go backwards, but now even when I try to make it go backwards it goes forwards very slowly. It was fun while it lasted

My husband loves these type of toys as I'm sure most guys do. I purchased this as a gift. Overall I don't think many of these are worth the money. They just don't seem to hold up well. Hubby is having issues with this one going in the forward direction. He actually asked me to take it back. I think the battery life on this one is a little better than the last one we had, but again, this one is going back. Have not used the camera on it.

I was looking for a RC copter to play around the house. The camera works fine for video and pictures. (Not the best, but not the worst) After several crashes, It is still flying fine. Flying outdoors requires no wind...even a light wind makes it very hard to control.

Great value and it does work. My grandson has played with it everyday for a solid month. Without incident . Although it takes a few test runs but after the learning curve it fly's for about 20-25 minutes without recharge . More durable than we thought.

Super fun, but must read the instructions! Difficult to maneuver until you get the hang of it. Says to not use inside, but I did. TV got dinged up and the dog ran for cover! Super fun times though. Highly reccomend to anyone looking to have a good time.

A remote-controlled copter provides hours of entertainment for kids and adults alike. Having the video camera is a huge bonus. A great present !

I have no idea if this works as intended because I bought it for one of my son's Christmas gifts. It arrived quickly, was well-packaged and looks perfect. So far, so good!
