    This was a birthday present for my son. It's very easy for him to move around. There are cones they have to go around (if you want to play that way) and if you have two, they can race. My kids LOVE it. Batteries don't last long though. Boys ages 9 & 14. Even my 19 year old enjoyed playing with it.

    Hard Even For Beginners

    I purchased this so that my son and I could spend some quality time together. I spent more time trying to set it up and fighting a headache with it not connecting to our mobile devices. My son and I both have expensive smart phones. One android and one Apple phone. The device connected just fine with my Apple phone however kept having problems when attempting to connect the second drone to his android. The devices connections we're getting confused with each other's and making the drones flying around all crazy. Once we finally got them to work flying them was very difficult especially even for a beginner. I would not recommend this to anyone trying to purchase something on the go for a quick use as the set up time is ridiculous and you cannot use the drones on their own as they require the use of four small targets that have to be battery powered and set up to use every time you turn on the drones!

    The sky viper is pretty easy to fly but has a short battery life. Extra batteries are recommended

    The drone is of good quality but the battery life is not good, you could at most use it no more then 8 minutes. Even though the battery is rechargeable it takes long to recharge. Was not completely satisfied with the drone but still use it for my kids to watch.

    If you have no experience with drones this is a nice one to start with. Hovers on its on and wont just take off like some of the cheaper drones. I got it for 20 bucks regular price 100.

    Don't be too concerned about battery requirements. The majority of those are for the markers. Not a true cellphone FPV while flying. Still fun.
