Its so small. Looks pretty slick! Flys pretty well, instructions are pretty clear and simple. Its got good safety features and sensors that work well. The design is very sturdy and feels well thought out. Its about the size of my iphone7plus. Fits in my pocket. Perfect pocket drone for selfie lovers.

Drone is easy to control, though a bit slow to rotate. Pictures and videos are quite nice in the daytime (haven't tried at night). The carrying case is a nice touch. The only drawback I can see with this one is the flight time on a battery is terrible. On the included battery I can get around 3 minutes. I bought another battery (found a decent deal online elsewhere) and it is much better, approaching advertised flight time. I think the battery that came with it is somehow degraded.

I wrote up a review on this well designed drone but it didn't seem to post.
In short, I love the design on this drone. I took it on a hike recently and was able to bring it in my backpack. the carrying case fit nicely into the front pocket of the bag.
Pros - Great design and arms fold in. easy to use.
Cons - battery life isn't the best, you might want to get second battery

I don't normally write review. Especially Not positive ones. But this Drone is the best toy I've purchased in awhile. It's so compact and durable. I love it. I have a lot of hobbies: Riding horse, motorcycles, hiking and camping. I'm planning to take this bad boy everywhere with me. I tested it on my recent trip. Just stuck it in my carryon and away we go! Used it in the hills to capture some scenery and did a little ride along on a slow trail ride. The camera footage came-out awesome. I love it. I know what my brother is getting for Christmas this year :)

It may look awesome but awesome it is not. It's a pretty decent flyer when using your phone but do yourself a favor if getting this drone and buy the R6 controller. Adding on the controller transformed this drone and made it a lot more fun. The 4k video is good but shaky because of the lack of a gimbal. The battery is rated for up to a 10 minute flight but really only gets around 5-7 minutes. Overall it's a fun little drone.

Easy to set up and use. Good quality video and photos for the price point. It does fly very slowly, so not recommended for action sports.

Already had a Spark, but picked this up for a low cost trainer for my kid/travel drone. Works well outdoors, but is not stable or reliable inside. Video stabilization is almost nonexistent, but takes nice pics. Weak battery life, but average for the size. Sucker really does fit in my pocket though which bumps it back up in my book.

My husband loves it the only downfall is it drains my husband battery on his phone. I believe there is another piece that he needs to use the remote.

Complete 4K video recording and used imovie to edit and export. You should buy if expectations are of amatuer at this price point. And you save some bucks if you choose other colours. The seller considers I guess Orange as premium in certain way

I have owned several drones from DJI and Parrot and this one was more like a toy than a quality drone like the price would suggest. It was hard to control and I ended up returning it to the store.

have been waiting for a truly portable drone to come out. Saw the design on this and was sold!! Purchased this online so was pleasantly surprised when i picked up a box the size of a Iphone box.
The arms fold in and everything packs away very nicely in compact carry case. Threw the case into my backpack on a recent hike. Fits easily in the small sections of the pack too. try doing that with a DJI.. you cant fit a water bottle after getting that bulky thing into your bag
It's got smaller propellers than others.. so controlling in winds can be difficult.. but it's a trade off. there isn't another drone you can throw into bag, go on 7 mile hike and fly the sucker. camera quality is pretty nice too.
I would pick up additional batteries though.
Not the fastest but definitely the most portable.
Good job deign team!!

I’m an experience drone photographer and this drone has lots of great features for the price point. Unfortunately, the batteries are terrible as I could barely fly it for 5 mins never mind 10 like the mfg states. Returned it.
