    This Drone is a great starter Drone. The battery lasts about 10 minutes and it is relatively easy to use. I will probably purchase a bigger and more expensive Drone from Best Buy later due to my enjoying this one.

    Personally, it was a bit tricky to fly at first, but after a few practice rounds, I got the hang of it. The batteries that come with it do not last long at all. You might get 20 minutes of continuous flight, but that's about it.

    Extremely light, be careful of windy days, it will go away and the signal won’t help, it’s hard to sync, besides that, the quality for video and pictures are really good, if it’s an open space I’ll recommend this product

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience brought to you.

      Here are some tips for the pilot to prevent losing the drone:
      1. The drone should be put on a flat, level surface when pairing the drone. Otherwise, the gyro won't be in balance and the drone may lose control. Please re-calibrate your drone before each flight.
      2. Please read the manual and watch the instruction video on YouTube carefully before you fly your new drone. The drone has different speed modes, and if you are a beginner flier, please use the slower one, so you can take it under your control. After a learning curve and taking more practice, then try the fast speed mode.
      3. Fly in a no wind or breeze day and open field place where there are no trees/woods around. Please fly the drone on an open area. Don’t fly too high when you are not familiar with the operation, otherwise, it will be out of control if the wind is strong in a high plac

    This is a good drone for the price tag with excellent video quality(in SD card storage). There were no issues w.r.to connectivity or operation. Handles quite well indoors. Not very good for outdoors though, as wind sways it a lot.

    I bought this as a gift for my brother-in-law and he loves it. His only complaint is the battery life but I knew that going in. It was a great price and a perfect gift for the first time drone owner. Works great!

    I recently had the opportunity to test out the Vantop Snaptain S5C drone, and I must say, for its price range, this little drone packs quite a punch! Design and Build Quality: The Vantop Snaptain S5C sports a compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable and easy to carry around. The construction feels durable enough to withstand minor bumps and crashes, which is ideal for beginners and casual users. The sleek black body with blue accents gives it a modern and stylish look.

    We got it set up with no problems. Works well and the camera is decent quality. Comes with two batteries which is nice since only get 10-15 min before its dead. This is perfect for newbies.

    Got to admit, its works well indoors though you sacrifice the video quality for recording a bit. Outside is a different situation. Wind no matter the intensity effects this drone a lot. The control was difficult to manage outdoors and couldnt push through light breezes unless low to the ground.

    Up and flying in no time. One screw for each propeller guard, two screws for each landing foot; charged up the battery, AAAs in the controller and I was zipping around. Took the extra step of downloading the app. Using the app lets you see things from the drone's pov. It's easy to snap some pics or taking video. I've wanted a drone for awhile and this one is awesome!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with this item.

      The flying time of each battery is the hover time of the drone. If the speed of the fly is faster or functions of the drone been activated, the flying time will be reduced. Generally, one battery supports 10 minutes' fly. Plus the drone comes with 2 batteries, so you can enjoy 20 minutes of flying performance.
