Not what youtube promised
Not a great experience. Out of the box the drone had scuff marks on the top of the case, which didn't fit properly. There's a gap on one side and it looks like the drone isn't straight. Really unstable and hard to fly. Altitude hold seems not to work, and even indoors with no air movement at all the drone is impossible to trim out.It makes sudden altitude drops for no reason I can work out, and the return to home didn't seem to work either.After wresting with it and a couple of inevitable crashes it's now not responding to controls and just spinning one prop as hard as it can.The real performance is nothing like any of the youtube videos I saw that recommended this drone. Maybe I was unlucky and just got a dud or mistakenly got a previously returned drone.The camera isn't bad at all, and if it had worked as advertised it would be a brilliant little drone but it didn't meet my fairly low expectations.Either way I've returned it and will spend more money next time.

A capable drone at a decent price
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I'm pretty impressed by this. I have something a bit more expensive and also bought my wife a mini drone. This one sits in between the two, in terms of price at least. In flying terms it's just as capable as my more expensive model, which was over twice the price. That one has extra batteries and a neat carry case, but otherwise there's not much difference. The controls are pretty much identical too, the right joystick controlling forwards/backwards, the left direction and height.It trims reasonably well, I didn't find it possible to get a perfect still level indoors, there was always just a little drift, but it was quite controllable and easy to fly around furniture and plants. Outside, it's relatively light and is affected by swirling wind on the patio. But it does have more power than my other drone and is easier to fly against the wind. The one button take off and land is a useful, the latter coming in handy when the wind gets the better of your flying ability!The 720P camera is decent, and I particularly like the ability to change the angle (manually) on the camera direction, great for overhead shots. It would be nice to have the option of additional batteries, as a ten minute flight time, whilst standard for this spec and price band, is a bit limiting.Overall, it's very capable, looks good and at a decent price.

A fun little drone with a decent camera
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I have been wanting a drone for a long time just as a toy really to play with and I found this and thought it would match what I really wanted.Positives:* small enough to fly about in the house* protective blade accessory means no marks or injuries* easy to fly get a hang of it after the third go* very good camera quality for the price* extra functions should as flip, blade speed, headless mode keep it interesting* great app companion with loads of features such as GPS return* strong materials used to the first few times you inevitably hit against things it stands strong* extra blades are a massive bonusNegatives:* takes a while to connect to the controller and the phone app* the phone holder on the controller leaves no room for on/off button on phone so you really can’t use it meaning you got to find a way of viewing phone and controlling* The protective blade accessories don’t attach on properly and will fall off when a hit against something* the battery life isn’t great takes around 2 hours to charge and you get 25 mins of flight time overtime depreciating after every charge I found* the app records video but you have to really try hard to transfer it to your phone to use cause its saved in the app

Don't believe the hype
This lasted 5 minutes out of the box .The software has to be downloaded via a QR code on a label . It does not operate on a oneplus6 to be of any use . Camera does not connect .The controller , the battery compartment has the little screw fitting with no screw in it but believe me it was a task to try and open the bottom because the clip was that tight .The right joystick clicked in and out like a button while the left pushed in and out ? Like 1/4 inch movement with no click.Perhaps that's why it took 2 attempts to connect to drone .Omg... I hit the launch button (indoors ) and it took off with a mind of its own and hit the ceiling , I did panic about at first but remembered it had a land button . By that they mean a " turn off blades and fall out of the sky mode " .I ran through instructions again and tried reinstalling the app but couldn't get camera to connect to fone and thought meh, it's cheap I'll just use it as a drone . ..On second launch it was worse going straight up to the ceiling and then spiralling itself all over it and headed to the kitchen.I was a bit miffed again so clicked the land button and again it fell straight to the floor .I put back in the box as it's just not what it was advertised as and totally unfit for purpose . I can't say if maybe mine was a "duff , one off " .I have returned it and am waiting for a refund .Don't waste your time and spend a bit more , I've bought a DJI tello (that this is very similar to) and it's spot on , camera isn't brilliant but it's solid .

Easy to use, live streaming to your mobile phone
The drone arrived well packaged, minimal setup required, just attaching the blade guards.There is a QR code to scan with a link to download your phone software, the drone can be used without a phone, although the phone is required for streaming and record video as well as other additional functions.Phone can be clamped to the bottom of the controller.Drone has speed options so you can start at a lower flying speed and increase as you get more confident with flying.Easy take off and landing modes.Will post a video and pictures of it flying
