Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love technology with light effects. Even before receiving this Snaptain K30 mini drone, I really began to look forward to flying this drone in my backyard at night, so as to enjoy the drone's light effect feature. To begin with, pairing/connecting the K30 drone to the companion Snaptain FPV app was a bit tricky, at least for me. I had to try several times, but finally got it to work. That being said, in my opinion, the app could use some improvement. Included with the drone are spare propellers and 'rings,' a storage bag, tools (blade remover, mini screwdriver), along with a detailed user manual and quick start guide. Being able to refer to the diagrams and handy instructions is really useful. While the drone's camera is only 720p, the picture and video quality isn't bad; on par with what you'd expect from 720p HD visuals. The tiny camera on the drone swivels from facing forward, or can be turned to point downwards in order to get those sweet overhead shots. Pics and videos you take are saved in the app, but they also saved to my mobile phone's camera album, as well. Now, the clip that fastens onto the controller which holds your mobile phone, could be improved upon. With my simple protective case kept on my phone, the clip barely holds it in place, and I'm constantly worried it will fall out. I'm not going to want to remove my phone's case every time I want to play with the drone. Plus, the power and volume up/down buttons on my phone are positioned in such a way that causes me to not be able to have it sit center in the clip. So, all that is definitely a downside, IMO. Although the controls on the remote are basic, it's still taking me a while to get the hang of flying this cute little drone. But I'll keep playing around with it, trying out different maneuvers, and work at becoming more confident. Right now, I'm a rather clumsy pilot. Yet the maneuverability of the Snaptain K30 mini drone itself is highly responsive; almost too responsive. So it's best to give yourself time to get a feel for how the drone moves and responds to the controls. Take it slow, at first. The 'circle fly' and '3-D flip' maneuvers are super cool. Just make sure you have the advised space clearance, for safety's sake. However, I'm not a particular fan of the 'hold toss' take off procedure. I'm just hesitant to do it as my instinctive reaction is that the drone is going to fall to the ground and break. How well made does this drone seem? While at first it might appear somewhat "flimsy," rest assured, it is not. This mini drone needs to be lightweight. Simply handle with care. My husband is very much into flying drones, he owns several, but his are more "high end" than this drone. When compared to what I know of other drones, this Snaptain K30 mini drone is entry level, but has lots to offer and definitely brings the fun factor, for kids and adults alike!

This drone is amazing! I’ve always wanted one, and after doing a lot of research, I found this offer, and it was the best decision. Its price-to-performance ratio is unbeatable, offering advanced features like a clear camera and precise controls—things I’d expect from much more expensive models. Setup was quick and easy, and once it's in the air, the experience is so much fun. The battery life is pretty solid, allowing me to enjoy it longer on each flight. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts like me!

This thing is so much fun, my kids absolutely love this drone! Right off the bat, you need to understand this is a toy, not a pro grade drone, it doesn't have all the fancy features, it is a toy. But, that said, it is a bout the best toy my kids have gotten in a while, its a perfect size for indoors, the controls are super easy to use and its just fun to fly! In the box you get the drone, a controller, extra propeller, and even two batteries which I thought was incredibly for this price point. The controller does feel a little cheap and the drone isn't particularly superb quality, but it feels well enough built and doesn't seem like it is going to fall apart. Flying it is so easy, you don't need an app to fly, the controller just connects to the drone out of the box. Like I said above it isn't the most high tech drone, it won't hover perfectly in place and does get confused on how high it is some times, but overall it flies where you point the controller sticks and thats all I can ask. We have used it mostly indoors and it has taken some pretty good falls and hasn't seemed to be damaged at all. We have 25 foot ceiling and it has fallen all the way to the ground with no issues. I do have periodic issues with the controller not connecting to the drone but it seems to resolve after a reset. There is an app that you can use to take pictures with the drones camera. The app is pretty bad and I couldn't get it to work on my phone. This is really the only issue I had, but again you aren't buying this thing to take pictures, its a toy. Overall, I really like this drone, its great to keep in the house and let the kids pretend to be pilots. The batteries last long enough for them to have plenty of fun between charges and its simple enough for a 6 year old, what more can you ask!

I had never flown a drone before and I saw a video that recommended this model as a great starting point to learn the controls the basics of drone flight. For the price, this exceeded my expectations. This Drone was really easy to get going and flying. I have alot that I liked about this product. It is very small and compact making it easy to fly indoors. This little thing is so much fun to fly around. It is quick and responsive and so easy to fly. I have crashed it many times, at no fault of the drone, and never had an issue or concern with it. It is so much fun that I promptly bought another one the next day so that my 9 year old son and I can fly together and terrorize the dog and mom. We fly around the house and dog fight in the air and race with each other. The control is so intuitive and easy, it is very responsive and fast. The fact that it comes with two batteries is amazing. You can fly as long as you want, by charging the second battery while using first one and swapping the battery in the drone is out a new battery there is always a new battery charged and ready to go. It is great for flying indoors with little to no concern about hurting anything or anyone. We have flown them outside as well but the fact that they are so small make them difficult to see once they get more than 60 or so feet away. Overall it's a good little drone for flying outside and is very fun and easy to fly as well. I couldn't recommend this little Snaptain K30 more, for anyone who is looking to get into the drone hobby.. Read the instructions, know how to handle it before your first flight, don't run into things and I would imagine this will last quite a while. There are some good YouTube reviews on this drone that can help you learn how to fly it.

Fun and fun day to use. I’ve never used a drone before and this is perfect for beginners or even kids. The colored lights make it cool to watch in the sky at night. Definitely give it a go!

First thing to notice here is that this is a toy for kids, and as 61-year-old kid, I cannot but emphasize that if you're any older, you should go somewhere else. :) Alright, I gave this to my 7-year-old granddaughter after trying it myself for a couple of hours - not including battery charging time - and we were both happy with it. Of course, I've had much more serious drones, but I am not comparing to those as it would be an unfair comparison. As for a kid, this offers a lot of entertainment as my daughter can attest, but the manufacturer clearly did not spend any time to make it quieter. I am positive that most kids will like that, but I am not so sure about parents. My son and daughter-in-law did not complain, but I suspect they were just being nice. It certainly bugged me a little bit while I was trying it on my own. When playing with my granddaughter, her noise was much louder for me to bother with the noise of the drone. The 720p camera is certainly nothing to brag about, but it certainly is no issue for a kid. The image is decent enough although it sort of fails sometimes. And the light show will dazzle any kid. Controlling it is easy. My granddaughter was able to learn it very quickly. The app is not needed for this. What is not so fun is the battery life, which lasts only for a few minutes and charging takes forever so to speak, especially for a child. Also, to use the camera, you need a phone. That can be a problem if your child doesn't have one as they will not be able to take advantage of the camera. Overall, it is a good toy, especially for beginners and kids only. When ordering it, I would recommend to keep that in mind and you will probably not be disappointed. If the plan is to play with it hours every time, then plan on spending considering more for one that has a batter that will last accordingly.

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.

I love this drone! I love the big remote controller and the colorful lights. I appreciate the visability that it creates! I'm bummed out that the fly time is only nine minutes but that is my only issue. It's great for beginners but it also has high quality video.

We received this as a gift for our son. It's a great drone for a beginner. It was very easy to set up and use. I would definitely purchase this as a gift for someone.

Great for young kids or those flying a drone for the first time. Ability to view the camera through your phone makes it fun for kids to discover a new hobby.

You have to know what you’re getting with the Snaptain K30 and limit your expectations because basically it’s a toy and that’s not all bad. You want a small drone you can fly around and not worry about crashing an expensive piece of equipment? This is it. Something fun and easy to control? This is it. In the box you’ll find d the drone itself, four spare propellers, controller, phone mount, charging cable, 2 spare batteries and a storage bag to carry everything. The Snaptian K 30 has colorful lights all around the sides that look cool at night. There is a 720p camera that “had” decent resolution for a toy, more about that later. You have to physically move the camera to get different angles. Controls are easy in my opinion and the app makes it simple. There’s are plenty of options if you use the app & in my opinion that’s where you can get confused. Not everything in the app is labeled clearly but if you spend some time with it you’ll start to remember what everything is. On my maiden voyage I connected the drone to my phone opened the app and thought cool this little toy has a camera. But that ended soon when I had my first crash. When the drone hit the ground from about 5-6 feet the battery popped out and the camera dead, no visual from my app. I powered off the drone restarted it and the app still no video from my drone. Kind of bummed out the camera died on the first crash. Still the the drone was operational and still flew but each time I crashed the battery kept popping out. I also noticed when the drone crashes or stops you just can’t restart it from its final resting position. You have to power it back off and in then you can liftoff again. Despite all those issues still a fun toy to mess with but don’t expect too much.

Great drone for kids, easy to setup and operate. Colorful lights, battery life is good, recharge is fast, and range is good! Would recommend this drone for anyone interested in exploring drone tech.

Not just a that. With great. I use it to view the the roof of a home to determine if solar panel can go up the properly

I bought my boys this drone and they absolutely love it. Easy to use and they can have fun.

Great drone. Love the different colors on it. Kids have a really great time playing with it. Easy set up and would highly recommend.

This drone is great. Very easy to use and operate. It has good control. It is durable and highly recommended.

This drone is Tons of fun for everyone and very easy to use!

Super cute and pastel! Though I would be very careful as the grates are kind of wide, kids could easily stick their fingers through and get very hurt or get hair stuck and pulled out. The colors are precious though!
