    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    This drone is really fun to fly but has a steep learning curve for beginners. The drone is also very fragile so you have to be careful with it. It is definitely worth the $40 and is a great purchase.

    When it worked it was a fun time. Caution when outdoors cause a little wind and it will fly away. Lasts about 3 months before it stopped working though

    It was hard for my son to fly it maybe it is meant for older aged kids. Didn't like it too much. Too small and kind of fragile.

    Looks great but the screw for the battery storage is so tiny and cheap that when i tried to use my smallest screwdriver (almost as small as eyeglass one) the screw stripped like it was pudding. Now have to ask father to drill it out and it will have to be held together with duct tape. Lame
