Title: Awesome drone!
Review: Wanted a drone, wasn't sure where to start, I picked a good one.It's fun! Very easy to use. You can cheat and use the take off button or give it a go yourself. App works pretty well with your phone so you can use the camera too. And there's even more features with the app.It's durable too, I'm surprised since I've crashed it a few times into walls and some unfortunate drops after hitting the side of my house. It's still flying strong and didn't need to change out the blades. The blade guards are good too.Comes with two batteries which for me is plenty of time for some fun. I wish I could get extra batteries but haven't found them. It's not a drawback to me. Batteries do take about 90 minutes to charge but that's okay for my use too.Haven't lost connection on it to really test the range but I've had numerous flights with it so far and it's solid as far as that goesOverall, great product and I would buy it again. If you're looking to get into drones but not sure where to start, this is a great one to start with. I know there are bigger, pricier ones out there...maybe those are great too but I'm happy with this and what it can do.

Title: Great for the price.
Review: I really like this drone, but itâs important for buyers to have reasonable expectations. If youâre looking to shoot a 4K cinematic feature film, this isnât the product for you. If youâre looking to get a fun toy and experience the fun of a photo/video drone without breaking the bank, this is a great option.One of the nicest things about this drone is that it comes with a carrying case and extra parts in case thereâs breakage. It also includes a second battery to minimize downtime and keep the drone in the air.Setup was easy and I was flying in no time. The drone has a lot of power for its size and moves quickly. The unit can raise and lower itself to make starting and stopping easy which protects the drone and anything immediately in the vicinity. I also really like the propeller guards which further adds protection to the unit and things around it (including my kids fingers).The range of the unit is pretty good, and I could fly all around my yard while still maintaining connection. I tried it out around my house to look at areas I wouldnât normally be able to see without a ladder.Photo quality is acceptable, given the small size and relatively low cost. This camera is best in daylight and it gives a decent image overall. I find value in the fact that it allows me to get angles otherwise not achievable without spending a lot of money.I would recommend this unit to anyone who is buying their first drone, looking to buy a drone for a young child, looking for a reasonably priced solution to getting a drone, and not wanting to break the bank. Set your expectations accordingly and youâll be very happy.

Title: Very stable, easy to control drone
Review: This drone is very easy to control. You do not have to worry about how much throttle. When you start it, it goes up about 3 or so feet and hovers in place. Then you can choose to have it go higher or lower, or just move around.The battery life seems pretty good for a drone and it comes with two batteries that are super easy to swap out. Very nice design.Also, on the photos, it shows how you press in a button to open the battery compartment of the remote. I hate how most controls have a screw that you have to remove in order to change the batteries. This just has a simple button to press in. No screw to keep track of or unscrew. Much better design.The app worked OK. I'm still trying to figure out how to control the drone with the app, but the camera works and the quality seemed pretty good for the price.Overall, it works pretty well. I did try it outside. Would not recommend flying it outside if there is much of a breeze. It is small, so the wind will win. But on a day with no breeze, it worked pretty well.
