    My wife purchased this for me as a Christmas gift. I was really excited about it. However, I have only used it once. It says it only has a 7 minute fly time which is not true. Mine flew for about 2 minutes. It would not re-sync up with the controller. When I landed it, one of the propellers stopped working. I would understand this if it had fallen from the air or fell on the ground upside down but it did not. I'm very disappointed. Wife is taking it back.

    After charging the battery for an hour, you only get 5-8 flying minutes before having to recharge. Everything else seems to work as expected.

    I love this drone and its ability to do whatever you want it to the drawback to this drone is only a seven-minute battery life per charge.

    If you haven't fly a drone, for the price this is for you, is really hard to fly one, at least for me, but at this fair price you can crash over and over and still works perfect, until you become pro you should look for another, if you don't use the camera is better because the battery last longer but if you use it, better have an extra battery, because only last for 5 min.

    Was disappointed in how quickly the battery wore down. Charges way too long for ten minutes of flight.

    I bought this for my 11 yr old son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. He knew how to operate it within minutes and the picture quality isn't bad at all

    After taking it out of the box, I returned it. It is basically made of glass. Not literally but it might as well be. My concern was the first time it hit the ground it would shatter. I purchased this for my 11yr old and I didn't think it was going to last one run. It takes an hour to charge for only 7 minutes of run time. Not worth the money

    The only thing I found wrong is it has a short run time.there should be more time so you have more Tim to learn to fly it.

    I like that it comes with spare parts in case something breaks. So far it has held up nicely. My son likes that it can do 360s.
