It's a good drone for beginners, and it's quite fun. The camera and battery are weak, but it flies well.

Super easy and fun! Bought one for my husband for work, but started playing with my 13 year old granddaughter trying it out. We had so much fun I bought her one for her birthday.

Live in a perpetually windy area. This drone cannot be controlled very well, even in a light wind. Trees like drones. Drone now somewhere in fir tree. It's a toy, that's all. Use it only in wide open spaces.

I recently bought the S5C Elite drone for a family gathering, and as someone who’s never owned a drone before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully, this drone made my first experience surprisingly easy and fun!
Setting it up was straightforward, and the controls were simple enough for a beginner like me to figure out. It took a little practice to get the hang of flying smoothly, but once I did, I was impressed with how stable it was—even with a bit of wind. The camera quality was better than I expected, and we got some great shots of the family cookout.
The battery life isn’t super long, so I’d recommend grabbing an extra battery if you plan to use it for extended periods. But overall, the S5C Elite was a great buy for the price. It’s beginner-friendly, durable (yes, I crashed it a few times), and perfect for capturing fun memories. If you’re new to drones and want something easy to learn, this is a solid choice!

Price - 5
Camera - 4, decent image for 1080p
WiFi - 3, be careful with how far up and out you go, you can easily lose connection. Default max height 20m can be increased in 10m increments to 50m. It will beep and try to warn you.

Fun to fly and comes with two batteries to give you more flight time. The batteries use USB-C so its pretty easy to charge and connect on the drone.
Has two cameras and you can view the video while flying. Overall great experience.

This drone is nice in terms of battery life and flight time. However, the camera does not seem to be 1080p with heavy grain. It rather resembles early 2000s mobile cameras. I knew I could not expect much from a drone in this price category, but the camera could be better.

Couple days of use and we’ve put it through some paces for sure. It’s stable and smooth. Quick when needed with the option of two speeds and responsive even at quite a distance.
