    I gave this drone to my 12yr old grandson. He was delighted, and sent me photos the next day from the drone flying high over an industrial park. I was impressed that it was so easy for him to set up and fly. Not sure how well it will hold up in the long run, but out of the box - it was a winner.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for one of my grandchildren. It was out of the box and in the air as soon as it was charged; couldn't wait until after Christmas dinner. Although this wasn't on the Christmas gift list, it was a hit with him...and his cousins. They went out in the dark to use it and the video provided some great pictures of the neighbors decorations. Easy to use with a reasonable price for someone wanting to explore their interest in drones. I'm thinking of great one for myself.

    I had originally bought a less expensive model and returned it immediately and got this one instead. This model is easy to control and has different settings. Most importantly, it is sturdy and can resist being accidentally dropped or crashing into a wall. Once they figure out how to extend the battery life, then it would be a five star product.

    I purchased this drone for my 12 year old daughter. The first few times we flew it were a disaster, but if you read the instructions and do the 3 steps necessary to auto calibrate, this drone is awesome. The control is easy and the video is better quality then I was expecting. Overall a great drone for 50 bucks.

    I got this as a xmas gift for my son. Smaller then I expected but worth the price. Was a little tricky to get started. Had to watch a youtube video to sync with the controller. But after that it was allot of fun. Only downside is short battery life.. you'll need to order some extras.

    This drone is a nice one for beginners, with a good price. As usual in the majority of these devices, the battery lasts only a few minutes, which is frustrating. Need to look for additional ones to purchase and have more time for flight without interruptions.

    I love this drone because it's very easy to fly right out of the box. My only complaint is that you can't fly it when it a little windy outside. It's small and light so the wind can carry it away and you can't get it to come back to ya.

    Purchased as Christmas gift for 12 year old son. Flies quite fast. He figured out how to fly it immediately. However, it only has 7 minutes flight time; 1 hour charging time. Pics are now high-def, but ok for beginner.

    I bought this for our daughter. She loves it and the camera works well but it is tough to fly if it is a little windy out. It sometimes takes off on it's own in a direction. But other than that it works well.

    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.

    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.
