Fun and affordable!
I have been having a lot of fun with this little drone! I have a more professional drone but this one is up and running in a fraction of the time, is very lightweight, and small enough to fit in a glove box.Pros:-Affordable!-Single button returns the drone home-Rechargeable batteries-Looks sharp-Can be driven by joysticks regardless of orientation-Has a PRO and AM setting-Works on a wifi connection (pairing between drone and phone/controller-Comes with spare propellersCons:-Requires 3 AA batteries as well (recommend getting rechargeable as well-Short flying time (only about 10 minutes)-Control distance is only 100m (always fly with line of sightThis is a fun drone to fly and the pictures and video you can capture are unique. This was really fun to let my nephew play with and not fear that he would lose control of a more expensive drone. This makes for a great starter drone for somebody looking to get into flying without making a major investment.

Ya get what ya pay for
It functions very well. Decent level of control and responsiveness for the price. However, after a month of use one of the prop motors has stopped functioning making the drone un-usable. No crash or shock had taken place between the last time it was flown and when the motor failed.Update 10/7:After the first drone ceased functioning I purchased a second one (they're cheap enough and I am determined to learn to fly well). ON THE FIRST FLIGHT, while mid-air, one of the props stopped spinning and sent the drone crashing to the ground. Upon inspection the smaller gear attached to the motor had been stripped causing it to no longer grab the gear that drives the prop. My only conclusion is that it was mis-aligned out of the box. Luckily, i have spare parts now from the FIRST broken drone- so I was able to take the motor from the old broken drone and wire it into the new broken drone. I put it all back together and it flies great until - AGAIN - while mid air, a DIFFERENT propeller catastrophically flies off the drone, and sends the drone - AGAIN - crashing to the ground. I again inspect and find the projectile prop and discover that the screw which holds the prop to the shaft is rattling around under the prop cap. Nothing was damaged, the screw was not fastened down properly out of the box and backed its self out. I would recommend doing a pre-flight inspection on all the props to make sure they are all fastened down properly. Also, don't press the flip button while the drone is grounded because when you go to take-off it will try to do a flip from the ground and crash. I will say that this drone can take a bit of abuse and still keep on going.TL;DR It's a sub $75 drone that comes with an analogue controller that you can learn to fly on, learn to repair drones on, and not be mad when it breaks because it was <$75 and if you buy two you can have spare parts because both are going to break.

This is it! Absolutely my favorite drone purchase so far.
Recently, I went on a drone binge and bought several RC drones. Surprisingly, most of the ones on Amazon aren't godawful like one would expect. However, none stands out, like this one does.The design is a sleek black which looks great when its flying. Also, the drone can be folded inwards to save space. The plastic feels smooth and is a nice quality, but will definitely hold together. This package comes with propeller guards! So if you are new to drones, this is an excellent purchase! The propeller guards are very sturdy and clip onto the drone snug. Even with the guards on, the drone as a whole looks stylish. It looks like an expensive drone, but its only around $65!This came with one of the ergonomically best controllers I've handled. It reminds me of a game console controller which are always comfortable to maneuver and hold. The controller comes with several options including flips which is always neat to have.To top it off, this drone comes with a camera! It's extremely simple to connect to. It's under a wifi connection (or bluetooth, I forgot) with your smart phone and a downloadable app. I couldn't believe how simple it was to connect to the drone's camera. Many other drones have many steps that often fail.The only problem I face with this drone is that the drone will not fold into its compact form with its propeller guards on. This isn't a big problem as it takes 10 seconds to clip them off/on, and eventually you won't even need the guards after you get good enough at flying.Some non-structured comments I have about this awesome drone:-Don't forget this drone has 3 speeds. It may seem slow at first, but turn it up to the highest speed setting.. it's quite fast!-Don't forget to buy batteries for your controller!-It comes with 2 batteries so at times you can fly for almost 30 minutes straight with only one battery change.Overall, this is my favorite drone. It looks sleek, flies well, and is affordable. I highly recommend checking this drone out if you're new to the scene!

Very Disappointed
Really disappointed with this drone... I got this as a Christmas present for a family member, just looking for a fun but inexpensive drone to start learning on. The first one we received would randomly cut out and fall to the ground. Even with a fully charged battery, three minutes in it would just fall. In addition, any video we took would randomly be deleted from the SD card after a cut out. So we ordered a replacement, which was delivered today! Took it out of the box, went to fly it and one of the motors isn’t working at all... 😞 Not flyable whatsoever. Really bummed, as this was a gift and now we need to look for a different one!

Very easy to learn to fly, this was my first drone
Very easy to learn to fly, this was my first drone. You notice I said was, I crashed the unit against the wall in my home and the unit would not stop when I pressed the stop button. I ordered the repair parts motor which came in the next day, but the screws and stuff were too small for me to work with. It was not a good sight when I retried to restart the unit after repairs.
