Customer Ratings & Reviews

The K30 drone is a fantastic option for beginners or anyone interested in recreational flying. It’s incredibly easy to set up, and the controls are intuitive, which made it simple to get in the air quickly. The camera quality is surprisingly good for a drone in this price range, capturing clear and stable footage that’s great for casual photography and video. One of my favorite features is the altitude hold mode—it helps keep the drone steady, which is especially helpful for new pilots. The battery life is decent, providing around 12-15 minutes of flight time per charge, but it’s a good idea to have a spare battery on hand if you plan to fly for longer sessions. The K30 does well in calm weather, but it’s not very wind-resistant, so I’d recommend flying it on calm days. Also, the range could be better; it starts to lose connection if you stray too far, but it’s perfect for backyard use or short-distance flying. Overall, the K30 drone offers excellent value for the price, with just the right amount of features for learning and casual flying. If you’re looking for an affordable drone to start with, the K30 is a great choice.

Very nice product for children’s and it’s very secure for them

My daughter and I LOVE this drone. My daughter is 8!

This is my second Snaptain drone. I am happy to say that the K30 did not fly off into the sunset. Set up of the drone is straight forward as can be. Charge the batteries pop them in, remote will take standard AAAs (why not have it rechargeable as well??), connect drone to remote and I was up in the air. Indoors it is noisy but fairly manageable since there is no wind to knock it around, but it will drift especially if you are close to something that will cause turbulence and that backdraft can send the drone flying off in the opposite direction. More practice on the controls can somewhat counter that, however, several close calls where my child almost sent it full tilt into my TV had us move things outdoors. Outside on the first 2 days was pretty much a bust because it was windy. The K30 does not like wind and will get bullied by it. There is a Snaptain App which will allow connection to your cell phone to take video and pictures which is ok, however, I found that range to be so so about 25 feet away from me at shoulder height and across our street and the video feed was choppy and and froze out to the point where i needed to shut the drone down and reconnect everything. Connecting to the drone and getting a feed and taking a picture from it is easy enough, but the weak connection makes me not want to bother with it when flying just flying it. On a still day we took it out a little later in the evening we took it to the field and put it in the air. The LED lights made it very easy to track and my kid loved following it. The K30 comes with 2 batteries can eek out about 20mins of flight time. By then my child kinda loses interest and is off to something else. The 1hr+ charge time for a little under 10mins of flight time is a downer. If the batteries had a quick charge it would definitely keep interest longer. My 8yo found it a little difficult to control this basic drone over my more advanced DJI drone but the Snaptain makes it easy not to care as much if she crashes or gets stuck up in a tree. The short battery life is not ideal for her to get decent practice in, but it's a drone I can let her run without feeling the need to have my hands hover over hers when using. It's not what I would consider even an entry level drone but more of a fun toy for kids and adults alike if you keep your expectations low.

The Snaptain K30 is a solid entry level drone for kids and adults that won’t break the bank. Keep in mind this is a mini drone that’s more akin to a toy, but if you’re new to flying drones, I highly suggest something like this to learn on before you get something bigger and more expensive. The flight controls are the same, so while the K30 doesn’t have GPS or laser guided object avoidance, you can learn how to pilot and maneuver a drone just as you would any others. Except in this case a crash won’t leave you out several hundreds of dollars. Plus, mini drones don’t need to be registered with the FAA and have restricted air space like the bigger units, so it’s a lot easier to jump into flying a drone. And because of its small size you can even use it indoors which opens up a lot more piloting time. Think of it as a 250cc bike or a go-kart if you’re learning to ride or drive. Getting the fundamentals down is key. But aside from being a good platform to learn how to pilot drones, it also has a few nice features over other mini drones in its class. The 720p camera isn’t half bad and I’m kind of shocked there’s legit FPV flying at this level. The camera can pivot up and down but there’s no gimbal here, so you’ll have to do it manually before take-off. There’s a bit of delay in the video feed so I wouldn’t use FPV for racing, but it’s good for general photos and videos. We used it to check the gutters on my house, which was a lot easier than climbing up a ladder. However, be warned that it’s a super light, so like all drones (especially mini drones) wind will be a factor. Outside of FPV, the propeller guards work great in preventing them getting jammed and are especially useful for indoor flying. Surrounding the propeller guards is an LED light strip that’s a lot more fancy than I thought it would be. There’s a few custom motion patterns it can do that legitimately look pretty cool at night. The only issue is you lose the lights indicating what’s front and rear so you have to keep your eyes on what direction it’s flying. In terms of flying time, it’s about 5 minutes per fully charged battery, which is average for a mini drone. The batteries are actually the most “engineered” I’ve seen in this class, because it has a hard casing and its own direct charge USB-C port. The other ones I’ve used still use the lithium envelopes that need to be charged with an adapter. This is much better and maybe even safer. Overall, this is a fun entry level drone for kids and adults that won’t break the bank. It’s definitely a step up from something like an X4 and the prop guards should help prevent enough crashes to keep you flying. It’s a great platform to learn how to fly drones and getting FPV, 2 batteries, and custom LED lights is outstanding at this price point. Highly recommended if you’re new to drones or want one for the kids. PROS - Flies well - Same flight controls as large drones - 2 speeds (slow/beginner and faster/expert) - 720p camera picks up light well and angle is adjustable - Propeller guards work - Comes with 2 batteries - Cool LED light show - Can fly indoors - FPV mode - Good value CONS - Batteries only last 5 about minutes per charge - No GPS or obstacle avoidance - Limited flying ability in the wind

This is a basic drone that is meant for kids and is really a toy that is fun to have and play with. The design is kiddish (and that is good for the purpose it serves). The lights are fun and the design of the box and the spectacle of the lights are attractive for kids looking to find tooth fairies at dusk. It comes with all the necessary accessories except three AAA batteries that you would need to operate the controller. The drone's flying time is 9 minutes on one fully charged battery (provided) and it also has a spare battery in the box, something that I really appreciated. The drone is a bit noisy for its size and the controls are easy though for the first time user it might need a bit of getting used to. It is really quite light so high wind conditions might be a severe challenge, so plan accordingly. The app is okay. You can slide your phone on to the controller and see the camera point of view on your phone which was fun for the kids. I did however, lose the wifi-connection with the drone multiple times while flying and the video kept freezing and dropping consequently. This was a bit frustrating as we had to restart the connection a few times to get the video going again for it to freeze up. If you are looking to play with the video images, please ensure if the the connection is stable. Now, with younger kids, they might not even need the phone and the app to play with the drone in most cases so this may not be an issue at all. The app looks okay and is quite intuitively functional apart from the aforementioned gripe. For the first time user, and I am visualizing an imaginative young kid, this is a wonderful foray into the world of drones. It is not perfect but serves its desired purpose. Recommended.

Snaptain drone, not good at all lasted 2 weeks before it stop taking off.

The Snaptain K30 Mini Drone is a good starter drone either for kids or for anyone who doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a drone. This drone come with extra propeller blades, 2 batteries, the remote, and a phone mount for the remote. Each battery gives you about 9 minutes of run time, for a total of 18 minutes, which is about what I would expect, and the fact they throw in the extra battery is wonderful. The drone lights up and can do a variety of different light effects. It also features a 720p HD camera, which can transmit and record video to your paired smart phone. The video quality isn't great, but it's not bad either. You can't pan or tilt the camera while in flight, but you can manually adjust it while not in flight so that you can at least get different angles. The performance of the drone was actually surprisingly good. Being more of a "toy" I expected to have a much harder time controlling it than I did. It has an automatic take off function which works really well. You definitely still need to be delicate with the controls, but overall I found controlling the drone to be simple and intuitive. And it has guards around the propellers so even if you bump into things, you shouldn't really do that much damage to either the drone or whatever you bump into. I did notice some drifting the more I played with it, but not so much that it detracted from the fun. You just have to be mindful while flying it to compensate for any drifting that does occur. There are buttons on the remote to perform automatic tricks, either a spin maneuver or a 360 flip, which is really impressive. There are also 2 different speeds for different skills/environments. And lastly, there is a button to change the lighting functions. I had a lot more fun with this drone than I was expecting. My kid loved interacting with it as well. He is only 6, so he's a little young to fly it himself, but he loved seeing it fly around and do tricks. I think with some practice he could actually fly it himself, although the suggested age for the drone is 14+. Overall this drone is really fun, and simple to fly. It may not be as full featured as "professional" drones, but at this price point, I wouldn't expect it to be. It's perfect for kids or anyone looking for a simple, fun drone.

The Snaptain K30 Drone with Camera is a fantastic choice for both kids and adults looking to get into drone flying. It boasts a 720P HD camera that provides great quality for capturing fun aerial shots, and the FPV functionality lets you stream live video directly to your smartphone. With features like altitude hold, headless mode, and speed adjustment, it's incredibly easy to fly, even for beginners. The cool LED lights and 3D flip capability add an extra layer of excitement, and the two included batteries ensure you can enjoy extended flight times. Overall, this drone is a perfect blend of fun and functionality, making it a top pick for anyone looking to explore the skies.

It was super easy to get the K30 in the air. The longest part of the process was unboxing it, charging the battery, and installing 3 AAA batteries in the controller. After that it was just a matter of powering up and taking off. Later, we installed the Snaptain FPV app and started playing with the camera ability. The drone comes with a colorful and easy to understand quick start guide that tells you the basics needed to get flying. It also comes with a thicker user manual that describes all the controls and features in much more detail. One thing it mentions on the first “flight safety” page is “this drone is exclusively designed for indoor flying. Please do not use it outdoors to prevent the risk of losing it.” If it’s completely calm, I think it would be fine outdoors, but just know that the specs also list the range of the remote as 50m or 164ft. So, you’ll want to keep it close. For the price, the drone seems like it has a lot of nice features. It’s well-built, has great, colorful lights and patterns you can select, and solid propeller guard cages. We haven’t crashed it very much, but the guards work really well to protect the props. It also has built-in capabilities like landing and takeoff, flying in a circle, and doing 360-degree flips. That last feature is a lot of fun. You push a button on the controller to activate the mode, then you move the right joystick in the direction you want it to flip. If you don’t tell the others about it, they’ll think you’re an awesome trick pilot. I also like the fact that it has a removable, rechargeable battery and comes with a total of two. It’s very easy to remove and snap back in after charging. The spec lists a 9-minute run time per charge, and as far as I’ve seen so far that’s fairly accurate. Eventually we installed the app and started having fun with the camera. The camera and video use the same resolution of 1280x720, and the video is 20 frames per second. It’s a surprisingly good camera for a little entry-level drone. If you go slow, you can use the video to navigate around the house into other rooms out of sight. But each time you move forward, the camera dips down with the drone so it can be a little hard to see where you’re going. The camera resolution is great, though, and it can take some sharp pictures and video. Given all its features, I think this is a great drone for a young pilot to start learning how to fly a drone.

Snaptain’s K30 Mini Camera Drone is a great introductory drone (or UAV) for both adults and children. The 720P HD PFV RC quadcopter has altitude hold, can do 3D flips, and of course has speed adjustment capability. It also has cool RGB(?) LED lighting effects and a location buzzer to help you find it if it is lost. Altitude hold (locked flight height) makes for stress-free flight control. You can use just one hand to control the vertical direction, and just focus on forward, backward, and left, right movements. When you accidentally lose sight of the drone, you can utilize the buzzer button to make a “di di di” sound to you to assist you in finding the out of the visual line of sight drone. Snaptain's K30 mini camera drones have 32 RGB lights, providing you with really cool lighting effects for a very colorful flying experience. You have access to 6 variations. The K30 drone with camera includes 2 batteries that provide about 18 minutes of flight time (your milage may vary). Charging and battery swap out is fast and simple. Take off and landing the drone can be done with one click. There are two control setting for you to choose from. The altitude hold function allows your drone to automatically hover. All in all the K30 is highly suitable for neophytes and kids. The four sturdy propeller guards and a not to ridged high-quality ABS frame ensure a safe flight, it has NO exposed propeller blades. It is pretty close to being crash proof. K30 drones have great 360-degree flip and automatic rotation functions. K30 drone has an 80° manually adjustable 720P HD Wi-Fi camera to take reasonably clear images and video (it is not a high-end 4K or higher sensor). The FPV function allows you to view real-time images through the app on the controller attached phone. Some features that ensure ease of use, safety, durability, and fun include the following: 1. Simple controls and a user-friendly interface 2. Sturdy construction to withstand crashes and rough handling 3. Propeller guards 4. About 9 minutes of flight time per battery, with easy-to-swap batteries for extended play 5. Compact and Portable 6. Compatibility with Snaptain's smartphone apps for additional control and features. 7. 2 modes that limit speed to assist learning. 8. FPV (First-Person View) Real-time video The Snaptain K30 drone provide a good balance of safety, ease of use, and fun features. It is a blast to fly in the home!

I tried out the K30 drone, and overall, it's a fun little gadget, especially for kids and beginners like me. It's more of a toy, so it's best to use it indoors since it's really lightweight and doesn’t handle wind really well. The controls are straightforward, and the LED lights make it look pretty cool. Setting it up was easy. I just put in the batteries, and everything connected quickly with my phone. The drone comes with some extras, like spare parts and a pouch, which is a nice bonus. The app itself was user-friendly and connected to the drone without any issues. Flying it was a bit of a hit and miss for me. It has basic functions like auto takeoff, landing, and hovering, which were easy to use. But I noticed it tends to drift a lot on its own (especially as mentioned if there is any kind of wind), which made it harder to control. It is quite noisy. so indoors it could get annoying, but most drones are like that. The camera is decent for what it is. I could take pictures and videos using the app, but you need to take a few of them since even a little drift makes the shots blurry. As for the build quality, it feels a bit cheap, but that’s expected given the price and I felt comfortable handing it off to my kid to play around with. All in all, I had fun with the K30, even though it wasn’t perfect. The drifting and short battery life were a bit of a downside, but it’s still a good way to start with drones and at that price point you can feel comfortable with your kids trying their hands with it.

The Snaptain K30 mini camera drone is a solid choice if you are looking for an affordable entry point into the world of camera drones. It is small device that can’t handle much wind and a battery that seemed to last 8 or 9 minutes. So then, why did I give it a 5* review? Simply put, for the price I think it’s actually a really solid value. It’s pretty easy to set up and get to flying. Just charge up the drone battery and add 3 AAA batteries to the remote. Download and set up the app (you can fly with no camera functions without the app) and you are pretty much ready to go. The battery life is fairly short at close to 10 min when you are really going but you have a spare battery and they charges pretty quickly. There is a very easy to follow quick start guide. I have limited drone flying experience and it had been a at least a year since any but this little guy was pretty easy to handle. I started flying indoors and when it first came I was able to hover in place at the touch of a button. The controls were responsive as I was easily able to slowly fly around my girlfriend and cat. The camera and app are fine. I was able to fly it out of sight by just watching my phone mounted over the remote control. It all works fairly well, certainly well within my expectations for a drone in this price range. I admit I got a bit excited when I pulled off my first 3D flip with it. The lights on it are a nice touch, love the way it looks as it moves through the air. All in all I’m really enjoying playing with this thing. It’s the smallest drone I’ve flown and I enjoy the challenge of getting into small spaces. If you are thinking of getting your first drone and aren’t sure what price or what features you want I think this is a good start. Learn the basics on something more affordable with all the basic features you’d want and see if you really like it before investing into something more. If I knew someone looking for a drone in this price range, I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

So this is a very fun little drone that is suitable for inside and low wind outside use. Out of the box getting set up is very straight forward. It comes with spare blades, tools and two batteries. Without anything more than charging the two batteries and installing some AAA in the controller, it is ready to fly. Hit the launch / land button and up it goes ready for accept your commands. Flying this way is a great way to learn the controls and how to orient your brain to aim it in the correct direction regardless of it's orientation. However, download the app and things get even better. You can connect the controller to your phone and with that you can enjoy the camera live, and with it, you can take pics or vids of your flight. With that you get telemetry such as battery state and of course video. Now, as for FPV (First Person View) you can see where the drone is going live though, there is significant lag so, intricate high speed flips and flops and tree canopy roaming is really not possible. I still stand behind my rating due to the ease of use, easy learning curve, and durability. Yes, I have crashed many times and it is still going strong. As for crashing, one feature that is really nice and something even on advanced drones is an expensive extra is the "fine me" feature. Press two buttons on the controller and the drone will beep and flash until the battery is dead. Trust me, if you have drone eating trees and bushes like I do this is a life saver and a nice touch. As I mentioned, outside use is possible but anything more than a light zephyr will require you to power though to get back on course. The batteries charge with standard USB C cables which makes compatibility easy. This is a very fun beginner level device that has well thought out features. Even with my experience with much higher end FPV drones I have this at hand when I just want to play a little.

This drone is an entry level device at an entry level price. It does allow you to learn the basics of operating a drone that has a camera (720P) and utilizes your cell phone to watch live or recorded videos. The quick start guide is well written and is enough to permit you to do a test flight in a matter of minutes. The user guide has more details and I’d recommend reading it to understand all the features of this drone. With very little practice you can do loops and landings without any crashes. The guide also will help you to understand the procedures to start up, fly and land the drone. The steps to get the drone paired with the controller and also connected wirelessly to your cell phone are very straightforward and worked every time. When you crash, be sure you reset the drone so it will work correctly, but this process is very easy and quick. It is a toy and is very light; as such it does get buffeted by the wind, but with practice you can learn to control it. I’d also recommend using the ‘headless’ mode which allows you to make turns using the control pad without knowing where the front of the drone is pointing. You can graduate to remove this mode once you are more skillful. You get some spare parts such as 4 extra propellers, however I did find this little drone to be well made and several crashes did not damage it. You do get two drone batteries which is nice, and the control pad uses 3 AAA batteries not included. You can take videos and snapshots and view them on your cell phone, but be sure you connect the wireless on your cell to the drone, not to your home wireless. It does give you a kick when you master some maneuvers with this little drone and take some photos & videos. It makes the perfect gift for a youngster to learn about flying drones. I would highly recommend this affordable entry point level drone.

This droid is fun, rather you are new to flying or have experience. It is easy to fly and has a fun light up theme for it for a fun evening flight time as well. If you have kids, they enjoy watching it fly around. It has a couple quick buttons I like to call them. These buttons you can press, and it will perform those tasks. For instance, one button will allow it to take off and land for you. another button will allow the drone to fly in a circle pattern. (just make sure you are in an open area). With the app you can also customize the flight pattern by drawing your own pattern. You can also just toss the drone up in the air and it will hover and then you can fly it from there as well. It comes with 2 batteries for the drone. They use a USB-C to charge. It also comes with a soft carry bag as well. This bag fit everything in it. A couple things I would have liked to have seen. I would like to have a way to charge the battery while it is still in the drone. unfortunately, you have to take the battery out to charge. Not too big a deal, just would have been nice not to have to. The cord that comes with it is pretty short. I would have liked to see a longer cord. Also, no block to plug into the wall. With the batteries, it would be nice to also see included the 3 AAA batteries for the remote or a rechargeable pack for that as well. Overall, though, for price, this is a lot of fun and well worth it. Even better when you pair it with the app and can take pictures/videos with it. a 720p camera, may not be the best but still pretty good. Great fun to go to a park and fly around. Each battery gets about 9 or so min of flight time.

Snaptain k30 is my kid’s favorite drone. It’s easy to setup and control. The cool led lights really attract other kids. Every time my son is flying K30, it always other guys stop and stare, asking what this is. K30 is not just a toy for kids, it has HD camera and 3D flip capabilities which attract adults to play. The two batteries ensure K30 can fly much longer than others. Overall K30 is a fantastic choice. I give five star and recommend it.

I have owned a few different entry level drones under the $100.00 mark. I purchased them just to have fun and play around. This drone, however, is one of the best drones I have owned in that price point. It is very cool looking and has tons of features. Opening it up and getting it started is pretty easy. Once I got the app on my phone and synced it with the drone, I had it in the air. I love that I can just press one button and it will lift off, land or maintain it's altitude and position. It does these things very very well. It is pretty quick for a cheap drone. It definitely feels and performs much better than I expected. I love the simplicity of the controller and the color scheme of white and blue is really appealing to me. All the different colors for the led lights are cool. It looks really really cool in the dark. My nephew loves playing with it. The batteries charge easily and work as they should. I do wish the flight time was longer. It's only 18 minutes between both batteries but for a drone at this price point, that's about average. The camera is pretty good. It has a nice picture and doesn't lag very much. It's a great little drone that is very fun to play with. Overall, I am very pleased.

Not worth for the Price. Very Cheap Product I got.
