    Pretty impressive for the price. Can do tricks and the fly time is higher than most of this style. My fiancé and cousin loved these for their christmas Presents.

    Never had drones before... The price was affordable - $39... Decided to give it a shot... Enjoyed the functionality... The camera that it has built in also works... Of course what you pay is what you get... You have to take out SD card out of it to see what is recorded on PC... Otherwise... Great gift!

    I bought this for my 8 year old. A little tricky, just pracitice with it. Battery life is short, comes with two batteries. This is a good start to move onto bigger drones.

    We bought this for our son that requested a drone for Christmas. While he can easily operate the drone, we have to walk him through the calibration every time he uses it. Also the batteries last no time. They are drained very quickly.

    Not bad for someone just learning to fly a drone. Does not have an app to view the camera while flying. The video quality is not great but cool little drone to mess around with.

    My kids loved the drone. It was the prefect stocking stuffer/ not to big but not too small. My teenagers loved it because it would fly and was easy to maneuver.

    Short flight time. Takes a while to charge although two batteries come with the drone, one battery does not charge and there are no returns to the store only to the manufacturer. Look for other alternatives in drones.

    For the price, it was a no brainier to take my first step into the hobby. Cheap to not care if it breaks. Boy did it hold up to multiple crashes. 3 months later and its still pushing strong! Im knocking a Star off for the camera...480p >:( Its 2018!! 720p at least!

    I got this for Christmas and although I was disappointed at first (I wanted a BIG and Expensive one) I came to like it a lot as it has helped me to develop my flying skills. It's automatic take off and land feature plus the tricks it performs it makes it fun to fly.
