Loolinn | Drone for Kids Gift - RC Drone, Mini Drones with Auto Anti-Collision Technology/Safe for Kids/Easy to Fly / 360° Flip/Hand-Controlled Mode / 14 Minutes Flight Time /C0 (Gift for Kids)

The quality begins with the box; very sturdy and held with a magnetic closure.Open the box and you have: the Drone; Transmitter; three drone batteries; two battery charging leads; spare set of drone propellors; small screwdriver; multi-Lingual user manual. The four AA Batteries for the transmitter the user has to provide.First thing, charge the batteries, you have to do this to see what the battery life is.Next is to do these things:1) Read the manual and become conversant with all the controls on the transmitter.2) Ready for flight: you have two choices and these are the flight modes you wish to choose.Press the right joystick once and the transmitter will emit one beep and this indicates slow mode. This is the default position.Press the right joystick again and two beeps will be emitted which indicates fast mode.The difference is that in slow speed mode the anti-collision system is in operation but not the flip system. In high speed mode the anti-collision system is disengaged but the flip mode is engaged.The anti-collision mode relies on 4 Infrared sensors which are situated between two motors on each side of the drone hence there are 4 sensors that can be utilised for the anti-collision system.The next thing is to get ready to fly and this means pairing the transmitter to the drone. Switch on the drone and place it on the floor with the Red LED’s facing forward – this is the front of the drone. With the transmitter also switched on move the left joystick forwards as far as it will go and then move it back as far as it will go – you will see that the LEDs” on the drone change from flashing to steady, this means that you have paired the two together – essential for flying.Next you have to get the balance calibration correct and after pairing the drone to the transmitter you then move both joysticks to a “5 O’Clock” position (or move both to the bottom right position on the transmitter) and wait until the flashing lights become steady and that indicates that balance is correct and this means you can fly!There are several controls which the user manual makes clear that you can use and this drone will also fly in the “Headless” mode which many, more expensive, drones employ and many beginner drone pilots find this is very useful for learning how to fly a drone as it gives somewhat simpler controls. The one thing to remember is that this drone does not have a camera and nor does it have a return to pilot mode but all these things would add extra expense and take this drone way past it’s price point!To get the best enjoyment from this drone read the user manual very carefully and really push the drone to the limits! I have found that this little drone flies superbly well indoors and I have also had it outdoors but only on a day when there was no wind – if there is any wind it will take this drone away as it is very light and only really intended for indoor flying. On the box is says for 14+ years of age but with parental guidance there is no reason why 8 or 9 year olds could’nt fly this. I am older generation and even I love flying this! It is easy to control, has some interesting features and is great value for money. The anti-collision mode means that two people could literally fly this between them using only their hands to control the movement of the drone – in other words they could have a virtual “tennis match” using the drone as a ball without even touching it, just using the anti-collision system!! Great little drone and fantastic fun to fly! I would recommend this to anybody!!

Very good for first drone, my son is 5 and loves it. Small and will not cause indoor damage, good battery and a nice design. Would recommend

Cheap drones are often disposable junk, very difficult to fly and/or very brittle. Thankfully this drone is actually quite good, it flys well, larger than the average cheap drone and is quite robust. It will break with enough crashes and force, however it definitely is better than it's competitors (4DRC and Honeywell for example).

The media could not be loaded. What a great little drone. Got it for my 9 yr old son and he loves it. It’s much sturdier than other drones we’ve had. It comes with 2 batteries which last for up to 15 mins each and recharge in around 90 minutes. First time we used it we did a simple calibration to make sure it was balanced ok. That’s just the case of toggling the controls as per the instructions, but it only takes a minute and it’s super easy. After that my son was off and flying it all over the place. He’s became really good at flying it around the house and the garden and getting it to land safely where he wants. It has 2 speeds, slow with anti collision and fast without. He tends to use the fast but both work well.

So long as you read the manual first (someone tell my husband!) it's great drone to fly and a step up from most of the toy drones. More advanced tech and longer-lasting charge on this drone compared to the others in the price bracket.It is slightly more complicated than some of the simpler drones on the market but that also means it has features you don't get with the cheap ones, like the anti-collision, which is really useful.This is the second drone we have bought for our son and it gives him a bit more scope to play around and have fun. Like all drones (well, all the ones I've tried) it struggles if it's very windy but on a calmer day or indoors controlling it is a breeze. (lol)It's great getting the extra batteries with the drone and the battery life of each is actually much better than other drones we've tried before.All in all, good value for money, I'd recommend it as a Christmas or bday present. Customer service has also been very good.

My 9yo loves this little drone he shows off his tricks that he's learned flipping upside down etc ,he's used it for quite a while now so I'd say it's very good quality for the money payed battery life is good and is quite easy to use ,the size is just right for an indoor drone ,functionality is basically what it's supposed to do it does well ,would make a great Christmas present

It's looks good in pictures as compared to what I got. Very cheap material and low battery life.

The drone was speedily delivered. It is small and lightweight. Although it is a toy, it proved an excellent device for a novice to start and fly drones. Great customer service through a dedicated WhatsApp channel (there is a time lag between answers, I think because support is in a country outside the UK).
