Holy Stone HS210 Kids Mini Drone for Beginners Adults, Indoor Outdoor RC Toy Quadcopter Plane for Boys Girls with Auto Hover, 3D Flip, 3 Batteries & Headless Mode, Great Toddler Gift, Green

This drone is extremely stable and solid, its very beginner friendly, I have two young daughters 6 and 8, and they can control the drone very well. 3 batteries are included so you dont need to buy spares, its flies very well, the rotor blade guards really protect the drone and people around it. The transmitter is nice and compact (3 AAA batteries required) and the functions are very simply mapped out.Its quite nippy on higher speed levels however I wouldnt advise using the drone outside unless there is zero wind, its an ideal indoor/backyard drone. My family and I really enjoy the drone so its a hit.The only downside about the drone is removing the battery, my average adult hands struggle to get into the tight underside of the drone to remove the battery, other than that it is good fun and ideal for beginners and kids, if you want more speed and power youll be upgrading quite soon but to start you cant go wrong with the HS210.

We've been really really pleased with this - our first drone purchase. Our 3 year old wanted a drone for Christmas and I was reluctant to buy something as simple as one of those single prop toys. This has worked a treat. It has a start up / pairing routine which he mastered in about 2 minutes - now he pairs the thing even if it doesn't need it. Flight is stable enough that there is (or at least there will be when his excitement has died down) enough time to explain controls and direction to him. For now he's happy doing take offs landings and some random flights around the lounge. It';s light enough that you'd be very unlucky for this to damage anything in the house.The device is light / flexi plastic. It probably wouldn't survive an adult stepping on it. However - I don't think thats unusual - weight obviously being important if something is going to fly!?There are three batteries, and to USB chargers. Might not seem important, but this is a godsend. It means the little one starts understanding about battery power and electricity ("Whats a battery Dad?") and it means it's easy to introduce a break if the parents get fed up. The batteries charge quickly enough to allow the device to be used 2 or three times a day, exhausting all three batteries. i.e. 9+ flightsMost significant is how stable this thing is in the air - I've used much more expensive drones and haven't been able to control them at all - this really isn't like that. Auto take off, raise altitude - and it hovers.The three speeds are fun - high speed is pretty quick for a small bungalow - and it wears the batteries more quickly.I haven't tried it yet, but I think high speed would be completely fine outside if there's little to no wind. In a 4 metres room it's fast enough to test your reactions.The top two buttons on the remote (mario kart hop/drift buttons?) kill the motors if pressed simultaneously. Useful when it's buzzing round the christmas tree or when it's upside down on the floor.It has a calibration function too - which is really good. Put it on flat surface, both levers down and to the left - and that resets levels and makes flight even more stable. Don't confuse it being stable with it being not very interesting to fly - there's plenty to first time fliers occupied and the faster speeds will challenge someone are experienced indoors I don't doubt.Super pleased - and of course I now want an outside drone with a camera and have been checking the reviews. I did research before buying this one, but it keeps coming up in the recommendations in the reviews I'm reading.First drone purchase? I'd recommend without hesitation.

Cool ittle drone reasonably easy to control, it will drift but not massively so manageable, has survived well with bumps and knock when the kids crash it, battery life isn't brilliant but it is only a small drone so can't ask for much out of it.

The media could not be loaded. First off, this drone is tiny but seems well built and it survived a few knocks into the wall and furniture with no effect at all. It does come with a few spare bits and pieces but even after my 6 year old has bounced it around the room a few times, I haven't had to replace anything yet.To give a sense of scale, my attached picture shows it alongside all the components it comes in the box with compared to an A4 sheet of paper. It comes with 3 batteries and 2 chargers so you can have one battery in and the other two on charge if needed. On the lowest speed setting, I was getting about 8 or 9 minutes of flight time with each battery which doesn't sound much but it only to takes a couple of seconds to switch the battery over so really you get nearly half an hour when using all three.It has a green light at the front and a red light at the back so you always know which way is "forward" which is really handy, the lights also blink to let you know when the battery is running low so you can bring it back and the one key landing makes it really simple.Really quick and easy to get it into the air, you do need to pair the remote with the drone every time and re balance the drone to stop it drifting but the instructions are really clear and once you have done it a couple of times it only takes a few seconds. Bear in mind if you are buying as a gift that, the remote takes three AAA batteries which aren't included.Even after re balancing, it can still drift slightly but its really responsive and even my 6 year old can guide it round obstacles fairly comfortably on the lowest speed after only using it a handful of times.After flying more expensive drones and being terrified of damaging them, its really good fun to just whiz around with this without having to be overly concerned about damaging the drone.
