    Fun indoors

    Bought two of these for stocking stuffers. just a little gadget to have fun indoors. The dog loves it. A little hard to fly at first but once you get the hang of controlling the drone it’s fun. Although the propellers will break easy from hitting the ceiling. I thought the controller was to sensitive but for the price who can really complain. Not the best outdoors due to slight wind. The drone will blow of course immediately due to the size. Still a lot of fun though. You can order new propellers online.

    last minute Xmas gift

    It was my last minute gift idea for my niece (10 y/o). I thought it would be a cool gift to give. Something they can fly around their yard and enjoy being outside rather than playing in their pc all day. The battery is not long lasting and may be fragile to play. But at least they'll have fun. I know I would.

    Short lived fun...

    fun little drone for beginners, the controls are kind of sensitive so it takes some getting used to but overall was a lot of fun. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the fly time is only about 5-6 minutes before you have to charge it again, which is disappointing. Also, because it was very flimsy and broke easily. Other than that it was a lot of fun.

    Saw this item when I was leaving and decided to buy it for my boyfriend as part of an anniversary gift. I have not flown it. He says it's a little hard to control but super fun

    Purchased this as an introduction to drones and get a grasp of the basics before I make the jump to a more expensive, capable drone. However, this thing was almost impossible to fly right out of the box and broke after the first run in with a wall. I decided to go ahead and purchase a more expensive drone; the difference is night and day.

    Kids wanted a drone and this one looked like a good 'starter'. They have had some fun with it, but it's been a little quirky in syncing with the remote (has taken multiple tries at times) and seems a little fragile, although it does come with extra propeller parts. Would say the jury is still out, we'll see how it holds up over the next few weeks/months (at $40 would expect it to last a while).

    This little drone is super fun and pretty simple to fly once you get the hang of it. A little difficult at first but after you master it you can do neat things like flips and turns plus you can fly indoors to entertain yourself and friends for hours. Battery life is ehh but it's small!

    Very cool but not for beginners

    This was the first time I ever attempted to fly a drone... It's really cool, all the motion and height, the option to make it flip in any direction and all. The problem I had and for which I decided to return it is, it was just too hard for me for a first experience. I had imagined a very different experience. I bought three because my nephews were getting some but I couldn't imagine putting them through that on their first drone experience. Definitely an outside drone X_x

    It's cool because of the options it has, like flipping in any direction, but it's hard to keep at a steady height if you've never done this before. The flight time is disappointing too, such a long charge time for such a short flight, but fun while it lasts.

    Fun, but toy-like.

    This little drone is fun but tiny - very light with a toy-like feel. Pros: It probably won't hurt anything if you crash it around your living room. Cons: A little hard to control - I think because it is so light. Definitely not for outside if there is ANY wind. Not worth the list price, but a decent one to try if you get it on sale. Honestly, if you are looking for a micro quad, my favorite is the Hubsan x4. They need a "maybe" option on the "would I recommend to a friend" question. I'm clicking no because there are better options in the same price range, but the real answer is "Maybe".

    Bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves remote control cars and flying helicopters and does well with both. Although this one we took it out of the box it was smaller than expected and when we finally got it synced with the remote it didn't fly properly. It was all kinds of crazy. I even tried to fly it myself thinking maybe he was doing something wrong. Nope wasn't him and we tried re-syncing the control as well. No luck. We will be exchanging at the store to see if we just got a defective one. Fingers crossed, he was pretty excited about this present.

    small inexpensive first time users drone

    Great small drone for 1st time users at a reasonable price. Takes a little time & patients to learn how to use/fly drone but it pays off & did not take too much time to understand & correctly learn how to use all functions. Don't get fustrared use in large room in house or large open area outside keeping drone close, the more you use the better you become accustomed to the controls. I am confident that it will not take too much longer to master this device & move on to a larger more complex drone.

    I bought this for 4 year old son thinking it would be a cool toy for indoors. I was wrong. It is extremely hard to control. It will not hover by itself. You have to constantly manipulate the high adjustment to keep in the air. Some of the features don't work at all on the contoller like flips. You also have recalibrate after little crashes in the house or you will drift. As for flight time, you will get about 3-5 mins out of the drone. After a lot of practice you can start to keep it in the air but most people will just get frustrated with it.

    Bought this for my son and it is far to advanced for him. My husband and I also found it difficult to control. Unfortunately after a few weeks of trying and crashing it no longer works. Probably safe if you're an advanced user.

    It was great while the fun lasted (which was about 7 total goes at it), I had the dog freaking out! The problem was one of the motors went out and i could not figure out a way to fix it. It comes with extra parts but that wasn't the issue, obviously. I'd advise to save the $ and go with something more expensive and get your $ worth.

    Works well. Controls are responsive. I would love it to have a modular battery and the price was a tad bit high. Over all flys well and can take a beating.
