Excellent Drone for kids (and adult kids)
I was dubious about ordering this as one answer to a question I posted was "Don't buy it. It's rubbish". However, knowing that I could easily return it if it was rubbish, I went ahead. It was a present for my son's 7th birthday. We charged the two batteries and read the instructions, and off it went. The ability to trim the propellers is nice - e.g. if the drone is pulling to the left, you click the right trim button until it's stable.The speed button changes how much the drone tilts when moving forwards/backwards or sideways, with a shallow tilt making the drone move slower and a steeper tilt makes is whiz across the room quickly.The camera is okay. Not very good in low light, but that's to be expected for such a small sensor. Outside looks fine but don't expect 4k quality. We haven't flown it outside as it's been too windy, but it is great indoors. It's hit the walls a few times and even fallen onto the marble fireplace and hasn't broken.My only concern is getting hold of replacement batteries. The batteries come as a module that connects to the drone body. Replacements are out of stock and cost £16 each. It's possible that there is a standard LiPo battery inside the module that can be replaced much more cheaply, but I haven't opened it yet to look. Battery life is around 10 - 12 minutes per charge and around 25 minutes to recharge. That's just physics. Lightweight battery = low capacity. If you want longer lifetime, buy a larger, more expensive drone.Anyway, really pleased with it. My son can't wait to get home from school to play.

Surprisingly easy to control!
Surprisingly easy to control due to an auto take-off/land function. My 8 year old loves it and got used to handling it very quickly. It’s a bit noisy and the battery life could be longer but otherwise a decent buy.

About product repair
The drone worked well for the first 2 months until today one of the motor is not working. May I ask for repair the drone? Pls help.

Great gift for a 7 year old boy
The media could not be loaded. Got this drone for my son for his 7th birthday. Although it took a hit of practicing to drive it, after just one day he can now control it quite well and he is very happy playing with it. The drone made of resistant and flexible materials, which is very useful as we drove it into objects and dropped it from the air as we learned to drive it. I'm especially happy that I chose this drone that has protective cages around its propellers, as they not only protect the drone, but also the furniture and plants in the house. The battery life is quite short, but other drones that I checked had similarly short battery life. Happily 2 batteries are included in the package and they can be charged in less than an hour to full capacity.Overall it is good value for money and a great gift for a 7 year old boy!

Not great.
Would not recommend for a child. Bought for an 8 yr old. But the drone itself is very small and flies too fast, bumping into walls. The propellers got damaged very quickly. Doesn't work outside even when there is no wind. One of the the propellers stopped working after 2 weeks. Returned it. Bought a cheaper one, but slightly bigger one. There is no camera, but way easier to fly.

Great fun item but could do with longer battery life
Really fun and easy to use, very sturdy and can cope with multiple crashes without causing damage. Only down side is the battery life, despite having 2 batteries only get about 15 mins flying time with both batteries but then requires 2 hours to recharge

Really easy to fly and great fun.
Really easy to fly and great fun. For the money it seems pretty amazing. The app is also quite good, which some of the others don’t seem to be.
