    This drone was very affordable and at first glance appeared to be a perfect way to see whether owning a drone was worth the money. However, there were a few things that took away from the enjoyment of owning and operating this item. First, you have to take the battery out of the drone and connect it to a USB adapter in order to charge it. It does not come with a plug so most likely you will have to use your computer in order to charge the battery. Secondly, the drone seems to have a mind of its own when you attempt to hover it. It drifts in one direction or the other regardless of how much you attempt to trim it in flight.

    These little things are super quick! They are really hard to get used to flying though. But it was still a bunch of fun... Plus they cone with extra parts. Good thing for people like me who run them into walls or ceilings until they get used to them. Lol

    Got this for my husband. He has several planes that he won't fly so I thought why not try this. It seems to be easy to use. Responds nicely but can get away from you if you let it. All in all, it appears to be well made, comes with extra repair parts, which is nice. The remote response is smooth. Great starter drone. Only problem could be the antenna he dropped the remote and broke the plastic one. Not really a problem as it appears to be just for looks. The actual antenna is very small and close to the main body of the remote. He used epoxy to glue it back on and it is fine.

    Flight controls are easy. Fun to fly around. Decent picture quality. The drone is pretty light so a good breeze makes it a little tough to control.

    The drone is nice has lightsome and pretty easy to use, I bought it for my son and he loved, his only disappointed is the battery life, charges in one hour and the drone flies for about 15 minutes.

    This is a great gift for school-age kids, and an opportunity to motivate them to study the Sciences around aeronautical engineering. My organization uses this as an incentive for our stem-focused out-of-school time programs.

    Bought a cheap drone to play with. When it works its fun. But half the time the remote and drone wont sync and I cant get it to work. Have to reset several times. Also the micro usb charger doesnt work. I have to take battery out and charge battery directly with the second charger. Maybe it was designed that way and micro usb is just for downloading video/photos

    This is a great starter drone. The Price is reasonable and the flight is stable as long as theres little or no wind.

    Works well. Doesn't stay charged long but that's not to be expected for the price. Overall good drone for beginners.

    The drone was purchased during the winter season so the weather has not been favorable very often. I attempted to fly it in the house, but could not control it very well and ran into a lot of things. The unit survived the crashs without damage and is ready to fly again. When the weather is better, I will go to larger suitable area where I have room to learn how to fly the unit with a more sensitive touch.

    I think that if they charge for an hour they should be able to fly for over 10 minutes. Aside for that they are pretty good.
