This little drone has all the cool features like more expensive drones without the high price.
This drone is fun to play indoors and out. The lights are great for night flight.The only downfall is connecting to the app is hard to do,like most wifi drones i have used.super cool drone.

Deceptive
This is a deceptive item. It is only less than 5 inches in diameter. A toy, and I would not buy it again.

Easy to fly with good height stability and one button takeoff and landing
The drone is designed for beginners and young kids as it has a ring around the top that protect the blades if it runs into something or somebody. You could fly this drone indoors, but I don't let my kids fly planes, helicopters, or drone inside the house too easy to break things or crash into something and they could get into problems. This drone has the typical gyroscope stabilization and a built-in camera along with Wifi connectivity between the drone and a phone or tablet. It comes with two batteries which depending on how high and level of flight control last about 5 to 8 minutes for each battery.The kit comes with only one charger which is typical but because the batteries don't last that long it would be nice if they included a second charger in case the first one breaks or you need to charge both batteries at the same time. The drone uses what looks like proprietary format for the batteries and the charger so you won't be able to use batteries from other drones with this drone. The connector is each to change the battery and the battery is mounted externally to the drone so it's very easy to swap batteries when flying the drone.There's no GPS on the drone which is typical for beginner drones as usually it's too difficult for kids learning to fly a drones to deal with calibrating the GPS along with the gyros and flight planning. The drone has good height control but if there is a good breeze the drone will drift with the wind if you don't use the controls to keep the drone in nearby. For a beginner it's easy to control the height of the drone but keeping the drone under control with any wind above a few mph is tough as it just goes with the wind and their is no stability for horizontal movement. We didn't try any of the gesture controls as outdoors with the breezing condition all efforts were just to keep the drone from flying off with the wind into a tree or across the street into traffic.I tried to use the app on my iPhone 12 pro and I could connect to the WiFi access point of the drone but the app would not connect to the drone. We couldn't get the video feed or use any of the features of the application. My kids have android tablets, but I don't usually let them take their tablets to the park so we didn't try running the android app for the drone. I deduct one star because I could see the video or get the app to work on my iPhone 12 pro. Maybe it's a security feature of the iPhone because the wireless network from the drone is unsecured and Apple been big on a push to make iPhones more secure with all the recent threats to device security and is constantly releasing new releases for the phone all the time.

Good for beginners
Great mini drone for beginners. Easy to set up and connect with the controller. The manual provides clear and detailed instructions on how to operate, calibrate and maneuver the drone. It was easy to connect with the phone using the app as well. After a little practice, it was easy to fly and do the tricks. The photo and video quality are OK for the price. It would be great if they modify the camera for wide-angle capture and pointed towards the ground for taking photos. Also, more powerful battery so that it can be flown for at least 30-45 mins. It came with 2 batteries which last for a total of 15-20 mins. Overall great mini drone for beginners before you want to upgrade for expensive ones.

Definitely a toy
This drone is definitely a toy and that's why I got it - the grandkids thought it was really cool, but its not something that holds their attention. It would be a great beginner drone for someone who wants to practice before buying something more expensive and less like a toy.

It’s fun
I’m not a drone expert. I have friends that are. I think my biggest fear is using an expensive drone outside and crashing it, wasting hundreds of dollars. So I got this drone that was actually made for kids. I got it so I can fly it in my house.I’m happy to report that I can fly drones better now because of practicing with this drone. It comes with 2 batteries, a remote, and wall charger with some extra propellers, no batteries with the remote so you need to provide your own 3 AAA batteries.It needs to be calibrated everytime you turn it on. Turn the drone on first, then the remote, and move the left stick up, it beeps, then down, it beeps, and it’s now calibrated. Very fast and easy to remember, I think…I don’t remember.This drone has a lot of features for being a kid toy. Auto take off/land is very useful. Headless mode, flips, even gps recognition I think.Battery life: it’s very short, maybe 5 minutes. The drone lights start to blink when low. I suggest you charge the other battery as you fly with another for a more seamless amount of flying time. Batteries do take 30 minutes to charge so your probably going to face a 20 minute wait and 10 minutes if fun to fly. I’m not sure if kids will have that kind of patience since this thing is fun to play with. But that battery life is short.App: so it has an app where I can run it on my smartphone and even control the drone from my smartphone. I couldn’t get this to work. I have an iPhone 12, downloaded the app, saw the wireless network from my drone, connected to it, and the app just sat there looking for a connection. Didn’t know what to do. I followed the step word for word, restarted everything and tried again, nothing. Maybe it works on a different phone? Possibly better on android? I don’t know.Overall: it’s a fun little drone that’s easy to fly, great for beginners, but is limited by just 5 minutes of battery life and to me, buggy and non-usable software, so I couldn’t try the camera and stuff, which would have been cool. Hopefully it works for you though.
