RC Mini Drone for Kids and Beginners Portable Pocket Quadcopter with Altitude Hold,One-Key Take-Off/Landing,Headless Mode and 3D Flips,Fun Gift for Boys Girls

After trying another small drone (H1 mini), I fell in love with the concept of tiny flying things to maneuver around my home. This one is even SMALLER! And it fits inside the controller for easy transport!I actually packed mine up with my suitcase to bring along on my visit to see my parents recently, and because it is so small, you can navigate around things even in normal sized rooms when flying. It flies incredibly smoothly and even does rolling flips (press the right button in and then choose the flip direction), but you should make sure to have enough space before doing that.It comes with little propeller guards you can optionally use to prevent crashing into things with the propellers, but apparently they can also be installed upside down as landing feet if you wish - I'll include images to show what I'm talking about, as well as comparing it in size to my H1 mini drone and a shot of it flying while I'm at it.A couple of caveats:The battery is not removable, and like other similar drones, the battery is too small to last longer than a few minutes at a time (7-10 seems about right). The good news is that it charges quickly, but it would have been nice to swap batteries like I can with the H1. I knew this going in however, since it is mentioned in the Q&A section that I read around here first.Secondly, the drone does not fit back into the case for storage with the guards on. You have to remove them and store them underneath the controller with the spare parts (which they also throw in, extra propellers, a tiny screwdriver, etc... sweet!). Not a big deal since the guards are optional anyway- you CAN just take it out and fly it, but personally I like having the guards on when flying indoors. I've hit walls with it and bounced right back because of the guard, so I just leave them on unless I'm going out and want to pack it up.I still would give this 5 stars because it is a BLAST to fly, my 1.5 year old son is mesmerized watching it, whenever I want him to calm down I take it out and make it fly around and dance to music. He always calms down and watches with excitement... and unlike my H1, I can easily take it when we travel. I love it!EDIT: Uploading pictures to help illustrate how TINY it is, and the two possible ways to connect the propeller shield. The yellow drone next to it in one of the pictures is the H1 I mention in the text above. Both are excellent for different reasons. If you want a replaceable battery and camera, go with that one. This one is just too cute, and can fly into tighter spaces (in between chair legs, etc).

I bought two of these for my two young sons (ages 6 and 8) for Xmas 2018. Having used them both for a few weeks, I can confidently say that this is a well-designed product. The 8-year-old took to it immediately after a few short lessons on pairing, always standing directly behind the drone and introducing each of the controls to him one at a time. The 6-year-old might be a bit young for this product, as he hasn't taken to it as quickly as his brother, but he is improving slowly. The take-off/hover function (center button on left d-pad) makes it super easy to get started flying. It's much easier to control than my big $120 outdoor drone. We've gone through a few propellers already so I ordered some more (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JH1VJ2W?ref=myi_title_dp) but the drones themselves seem pretty resilient. The arms fold up if they whack into something too hard and you can just fold them out again and you're back in business. If you have any trouble (drone seems uncontrollable), you probably just need to pull both control sticks down and away from each other before takeoff to calibrate. (it says this in the manual, but most people don't read, apparently). Also, any hair or crap wrapped up on the propellers/shafts will cause control issues, so make sure to keep them clean. Overall, this drone is a steal at 27 bucks. Happy flying!

The media could not be loaded.  This is a cool drone. It’s very quck, responsive, and can do a lot great tricks.I really like the controller/case. It keeps all the contents and props, and accessories inside the controller. When finished flying, just put the drone in the case and go. It’s a lot of fun to fly.I’m super impressed as to how well it flies outside. I flew it in some heavy wind and it had no problem cutting through the wind. This is small and very powerful nano drone. The light on the front helps a lot with orientation. Another favorite feature is the spinning feature. Press the button and it starts spinning and it’s just super cool. Very impressed how well it flies. I got it for my son; however, I love flying it too. Charges in under 30 minutes and gives a good 6-8 minutes of flight time. Very happy and highly recommend this drone for anyone looking for a cool indoor/outdoor flyer. Also recommend taking to a large gym to fly. This Nano drone cooks fast in a gym and because of it's speed and what it can do. The larger the space the more awesome fun you'll have with it. It is classified as a beginner drone; however, I consider it a stunt drone capable of impressive flying stunts for someone who want a more powerful and quick stunt flyer.

A good starter droneI have to say, this drone has a really competitive price by comparing other drones that having same features and similar design. Probably it is new and under a promotion...This thing is seriously a blast, the controller is well designed, and can be used as a carrying case. All buttons are working great. I was surprised that they actually have labels randered on the buttons, so I'm able to control it smoothly even not reading much manuals.For its functions, its set up procedure is simple, take-off and hovers in place stablely and able to do stunts like flipping and high-speed spinning smoothly.Warning: it is not very suitable to fly outdoors expecially if you are not familar with the drone, so as to prevent it from danaging and even losting.With all this said, the only drawback is the built-in batteries, which makes it not flexible as you can't change the battery to keep flying, FYI: the flying time is about 10 mins per charge. And another thing I would like to see is a camera, but for the price and the sheer joy it is to play with, this is a very minor set back.All in all, this is a good beginner drone for practice and for determining if your interest level meets the need for spending more on a larger one with more features.
