    I always wanted to get a drone but knew I would tear it up. I got this drone on clearance for 35 bucks and couldn’t be happier.

    The drone does not respond very well to the remote. It does respond about 30% of the time and the wind just takes it away!

    Protocol - VideoDrone AP Drone with Remote Control

    It's a decent entry-level small drone. It does a good job balancing on its own and flies pretty stable. I like the automatic flip button. Unfortunately, one of the motors stopped working in less than a year of use.

    This drone is so fun to fly. My only complaint is how long it takes to recharge. It comes with an extra battery pack which helps out, but it would be nice if the run time was a bit longer.

    Small enough to maneuver and use in the house where wind is not a factor. Great learning drone for someone just getting into it.

    I bought this for my nephew and he really seemed to enjoy it with his father. He is a product of divorce and his father strives to bring joy to his son in these dark times, so I’m sure he appreciated spending quality time with his son.
