This drone is a good first drone purchase. Got a sale for around $140, I would not pay the regular $279. Drone is very forgiving to Crashes except the camera. The camera Gimbal is no good, has cheap small plastic connection that broke first crash. I replaced with a fabricated metal replacement but it did not align correct and burnt up the gimbal motor. Fixed camera with appoxy and it works well, just no in-flight adjustments. Camera quality is not great but acceptable for the price. I love flying it and am pleased with controls once I got the hang of things. Would rec additional batteries as fly time is about 6min. per charge.

Great fun for my husband. My advice is to learn about flying the drone, practice often before you go too crazy. After a week, we lost the camera. Operator error. Otherwise the product is amazing!

This is a beautiful drone. It is definitely for an intermediate user. After a few try with it, was disappointed in the battery life and was able to find a drone with better features for much less money. So I returned this drone

My son wanted to try a drone but the prices were a little high to buy at the time. But when I saw this one on sale it seemed to match all the needs with ½ the price. It is a great starter drone!

My main gripe is the horrible flight time 12 minutes after waiting on full charge for 3 hours come on! It has some of the features of a higher quality drone but don't expect a pro bargain.

I spent $170+ for this drone for my boyfriends Christmas present . Luckily I got him a gopro also because the drone alone would have been devastating! He was so excited when he got it but within the first day of flying it , it only flew for about 15 minutes. And it gets really fuxing hot in the center ! Not only that the battery needs to recharge ! I've learned my lesson , I should have bought the $400 drone and would've been more happier but I settled for less . If you want something to fly for more than 15 minutes , then look elsewhere .

Bought this for my 12 yr old son for Christmas. Less than 1 month later the housing broke. Yes it was crashed a few times but that is why I purchase a more expensive one thinking it would be stronger than the cheaper ones from WalMart. Very disappointed, for $279 you would think that it would be a little more sturdy. Contacted the company but no luck -they don't sell the housing unit and no offers to replace. Battery only stayed charged for about 15 minutes. Flight was very smooth, landing was bumpy.

I've flown drones a few times so wasn't too concerned about trying this one, however, from start up it took off way too fast, in my opinion. It was very responsive. In fact, a little too much so. Very difficult to control it. And I mad sure the speed control was on its lowest setting. I will say that the included camera picture quality was pretty good, and I liked the fact that it puts out its own wifi signal instead of just Bluetooth so that you can see the picture on the iPhone even when the drone is at a distance. Overall I think it's a decent drone, but certainly not good for beginners.

Flys great has wide range but the camera is very fragile. I suggest using a metal wing to pivot the camera on the servo motor. Overall a really good drone.

Runs well, but very easy to break. Copter blades broke on 2nd day of use. For the cost you should expect a higher quality. Views on smart phone are very good

I have many drones bought as a black friday deal and don't sync to phone with ease but works flying close to you. Not great for any wind conditions.

Completely happy with the quality and ease of use with this drone. After using my brothers very, very expensive drone I thought that this would be not that good but it was just the opposite. It is just as good if not better for almost $500 less!

Bought this for a gift for a friend. They set it up and used it that same day. It's a great entry level drone that doesn't come with a huge price tag. Just like all drones the battery life is not what you would hope for, lasts about 8 minutes.

Bought this for my husband to play out front with grand kids. Had a cheaper one but flight time was just 6 to 9 minutes. You get what you pay for. This model answered all his complaints from the other one. very satisfied with this model.

The only issue I have with this drone is the flight time is short but to my understanding, even the $1500 only fly about 30 minutes tops. It takes descent pictures and video.
