I recently purchased the Snapton S5C elite 1090p drone and let me tell you!! I could not have chosen any better for this price point!!! Set up was a breeze!! Camera takes awesome video. Remote and two batteries so plenty of flying time. Even had replacement blades in case you guide like me to start. If you want an incredible drone and don’t want to spend the really big bucks? Get more bang for your buck and purchase this one!! Best purchase I have done in a LONG time

Works perfect. My kids love it. I also love the camera quality

Great beginners drone comes with extra battery for extended flight time.

The Snaptain S5C Elite package is a unicorn in the low-cost drone market; easy enough for even a beginner to get flying right away, but with a feature set that you’d find in more expensive drones. Powerful enough to get you up to decent heights with a superb camera to get high quality pictures once you’re up there. It really is impressive, but even more so when you consider the price and value. From the moment I opened the box I was amazed. It includes a really nice travel case with two batteries, a charging interface and spare propellers as well as a well written and thorough set of instructions. The drone itself folds into a tiny package which makes the whole kit easy to stuff in a knapsack or bag so you can carry it anywhere, safely. The batteries are stated to charge in about 4 hours, but I found the charging time to be much less in my tests. The controller is simple yet includes all the necessary controls. This includes being able to control not only the drone flight itself, but also the ability to tilt the camera up and down. This is something you don’t usually see in lower cost drones and is a welcome addition. Installing the software on my Pixel 8 Pro went without a hitch, though I did have to turn off my cellular radio to pair properly with the drone. Once paired with the phone and controller, I was ready to fly in minutes. If you’ve ever been intimidated by the idea of drones, or you’ve had the sad experience of trying to fly one of those cheap Amazon/eBay specials (only to have it zoom into crash mode}, you’re in for a surprise! With one button press, I was able to get the drone off the ground and into steady hover on my first flight. Maneuvering the S5C proved easy and intuitive, and I was flying confidently right away. The first person view from the camera was mind blowing. Clear and steady, I was seeing my neighborhood from a completely different perspective. I could use either the buttons on the remote or their counterparts on the phone screen to take pictures or video and go right back to flying. Now, it is a small and lightweight drone, so it is affected by medium strength winds. But even in mild winds, it was impressive how steady it was and how well it responded to commands. Still, I wouldn’t fly this outside during strong winds. Not because I don’t think that the S5C could handle it, but because I wouldn’t want to lose or damage it – I’m having too much fun! You could fly it inside though; not only is it steady in its hover with little to no drift, but it is also amazingly quiet! I was kind of shocked at how quiet it was – both in the air and in the videos. Usually most drones sound like a swarm of angry bees but the S5C is virtually silent. This means that not only can you fly it inside, but you won’t be annoying the neighborhood when you take it outside. I’d confidently say that this drone is not only perfect for people who have never flown a drone before and are looking for a little fun, but also for people who may be looking at purchasing a professional grade film drone. I’d say buy this FIRST and get used to flying and filming BEFORE you drop those big bills to see if drones are for you. I think even content providers could make use of this given the high quality of the camera. When you outgrow it or need more features like GPS flight or following a person, then you can upgrade. But I still think you’d find a place for this drone in your tool kit. It’s just a pleasure to fly and so quick to get up and flying. I did crash it once, coming down a little too close to a small tree and it fell about 10 or so feet. But it took it like a champ and once I set it upright again, I was back in the air in minutes. It’s solidly built and well-engineered. I cannot recommend this highly enough. If you are considering drones at all, you’d be crazy not to buy the S5C Elite Package!

I have never owned a drone before and have been wanting to get one so this one was perfect for me to dip my toes in the water. It came with 2 batteries, the controller, extra blades, and a screw driver. It also comes with a nice case to keep the drone and controller in when not using it. I put a 128Gb SD-Micro card in it and after downloading the app from the Google Play Store I was able to quickly format it. The app was very easy to use, I was able to quickly connect to the Drone via Wi-Fi following the quickstart instructions. Once connected to the drone via Wi-Fi I was able to open the app and now have access to the live camera feed. There are also controls in the app you could use and it also allows you to take pictures to your phone if you don't have an SD-Micro card in the drone. Pros - Great for beginners, has an easy liftoff button that will start it up and launches it off the ground - Is durable and still works fine even after I crashed it into a palm tree or my truck - Can move the camera up/down from the controller then take video or pics pressing the shoulder buttons on top Cons - Smaller which means it isn't very heavy so it is difficult to fly in windy conditions - Controller seems like it would have been better if the sticks were reversed for us who play FPS video games the left stick would make more sense to move it forward/back/sideways vs up/down or turn Overall I am very happy with this drone and feel it is a great entry level drone for those wanting to explore what drones can do and have fun with them.

So many great things about this drone, but I will start with the fact that it comes with 2 batteries. It takes about 30 minutes to charge each battery and each battery lasts about 30 minutes. My son can get a good amount of play time to fly the drone around. The drone also has a little camera that you can connect through your phone and take pictures straight to your phone. We love that the remote controller has a phone holder that you can attach your phone to. Even on a semi-windy day he was able to use the drone at a low level but you can feel the wind slightly pulling it because of how lightweight the drone is. We cannot wait for a non windy day to use it and see how high it can go. Another thing to love about it, is it is easy to control but it sometimes goes in the opposite direction of where we are controlling it, but we still like it. The drone also looks really neat when navigating it through out the house. It can be a little loud, but it looks really neat. The drone can flip sideways and forward which is pretty neat. It also comes with extra wings in case the wing fans get broken and you run it into a wall like we have done a few times. Even with that, the drone is going strong and working just fine. Overall this is a great starter drone and my son loves using it everyday. Summer break is here so this was perfect timing. Just another thing he can use that can bring him outside and I love that.

I’ve always wanted a drone, but I’ve always been afraid to put down the hundreds of dollars it requires to buy something decent. I’ve also been really skeptical of the cheaper offerings as I’ve had one of those before and it was just impossible to do anything with. This from Snaptain changes everything for me. I’m no drone expert, I’m just casual user who wanted something to use with my autistic 5 year old and this fits the bill perfectly. From the get go this feels great. The packaging is nice and inside the box you will find a case, inside the zippered case you’ll find everything you’ll need In the box you will find the following: The Snaptain Drone The controller ( this takes 3 AAA batteries that do not come with the device so be sure to grab some ) 2 1200mAh batteries A short usb cable 8 spare screws 4 guards 2 landing skids A screwdriver And paperwork Pretty generous considering the price. You connect the app via WiFi and then you can cradle your phone in the top of the controller, here you can se the camera quality and it’s not bad at all. This is a 1080p camera and will be great for scanning around the woods or on the beach. Picture quality is good. No image stabilization here but that’s to be expected at this price point. It’s pretty easy to use once you get used to the controls which may take a few attempts to get right, but once you have them figured out you’ll be zipping around wherever you are without issue. It does move somewhat in the breeze making it a little difficult sometimes but you can counter that with movement. It’s also pretty quick, I’m sure it’s because I’m not used to them but I find it much quicker than I expected and I’m only on speed 1. Overall this is a really great package. Whether you’re looking to get into drones or just a casual user who doesn’t need all the fancy extras then this is an excellent low cost way to get into drones. I highly recommend and so does my son

I’ve wanted to try flying a drone for a while now. As a beginner, I wanted something more than the toy drones, and didn’t want to invest in a more expensive drone. This drone easily met my wish list. It has a 1080P camera, easy to use controller, 2 batteries, and extra propeller blades. You will need 3 AAA batteries and a microSD card (up to 64GB). Unboxing it is straight forward. The carry case securely holds the drone and its accessories. Once you’ve installed the app on your phone, you’re ready to fly in just minutes. The drone weighs in at 145g, so it’s under the FAA weight requirement for registration. My first attempts at flying went great. The easy to use controller and cell phone interface made it simple to understand. One button take-off and landing and I was off and flying. I found that even indoors, it was easy to manage. The photo quality was very good. My only concern is that I couldn’t get it to record to the SD card. The pictures recorded to my phone however. I’m waiting on a response to an email to their support team to understand what the issue may be. As a first drone, it’s a perfect way to start in the hobby. It’s a lot of fun and will certainly keep you entertained.

The SNAPTAIN S5C Elite Drone is an excellent entry level drone. it comes fully assembled out of the box. You get the drone, extra blades/props, controller, two batteries, charging cable(no power block), and a carrying/storage case. When I received the drone, I immediately fully charged both batteries before I went outside to test it out. The S5C is small enough that your can fly it inside if you're really good. With me being fairly new to flying drones, I opted to go outdoors. Before I actually started flying, I paired the S5C to the app which was a bit of a process, because you need to use your phones Wi-Fi and disable your cellular service in order for it to work, at least on my my Pixel 8 Pro, this was the process. After I paired the drone to my phone, I was receiving and excellent video image from the onboard camera. The included remote is by far the easiest way to control the drone, but you can also control the S5C directly from the app. It does state that it will only be able control it up to 20 meters. Let me also say this, trying to take video and pictures for the first time can be very nerve racking. Trying not to crash and still get a decent shot or video takes some time to get comfortable. I may of knocked the house and tree a few times getting comfortable with the controls, but to my surprise, the S5C didn't break. I thought for sure I was going to have to replace at least one prop, but they are pretty flexible and tough. I used this drone on my property up north to check the roof of our mobile home we have on the land after a big storm this week. We had a tree fall on it, and using the drone I was able to determine that everything was fine, and the metal roof just had a couple of dents in it. Thankfully I had this drone to try out, and didn't have to go get a ladder and climb onto the roof, then have to put it away after wards. I can see this drone coming in handy for many things just like this. One thing to note is that there is some sort of video stabilization, which I am thankful for. The drone was getting blow around a bit because of the wind, but the video seemed much more stable that what was going on with the drone. Overall I'm impressed with the SC5, and look forward to using it again, but I do need more practice.

Alright, let’s talk about the SNAPTAIN S5C Elite Camera Drone. It might come in minimalist packaging with some spare parts, a soft carrying case, and two rechargeable batteries, but don’t let that fool you—this thing is pretty awesome! The controller uses three AAA batteries, so no need for any fancy charging setups. Why It’s Awesome: Tough as Nails: This drone is built like a champ. It’s taken falls from 10 feet onto my driveway and bounced off a few trees, yet it’s still going strong. Sure, it shows some wear, but for the purposes of this review (and my own entertainment), I’ve been rough with it. Great Value: At just $99 (and even less if you catch it on sale), you get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a fantastic entry-level drone for beginners. Decent Camera: The camera is a nice bonus. While it’s not going to win any awards, it’s perfect for fun aerial shots. User-Friendly: My 9-year-old son picked up the controls in no time. It’s simple enough for kids but still enjoyable for adults. Cool App: The app is well-designed, though it can be a bit finicky when connecting. Once you’re in, it’s smooth flying. Fun Factor: The first-person view (FPV) mode on your phone adds a whole new level of fun. My son and I have had a blast playing hide and seek with it. Bottom Line: The SNAPTAIN S5C Elite Camera Drone is a fantastic choice for those looking to dip their toes into the world of drones. It’s affordable, durable, and packed with features that make it fun for the whole family. Whether you’re a newbie or just looking for some high-flying fun, this drone won’t disappoint. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a game of drone hide and seek to play with my son!

Ok, some information first. I live in a two story apartment complex and our patio is not screened with a nice field/retention pond area. It’s pretty as many birds love frequenting the area. This drone is what some would consider a starter drone and for me perfect. I had to view initially the instructions as I was kinda lost. But afterwords it was easy to make it work Some things you will need that are not in the package: 3 AAA batteries and a cell phone to use as a camera viewer. The actual drone is well built and came compactly packaged. It came with two batteries (Only one battery can be inserted at a time). The controller for it is very simple and for pretty much after using it for. Few minutes can be understood without issue. The camera on the drone is nice and clear and worked great with my iPhone as the screen. For me this worked wonderful as again I wanted it for some fun viewing outside my apartment and it did not disappoint. Price was also a welcomed positive as I was expecting it to cost more

This is a budget-friendly drone with a 1080p camera. It has a flight time of up to 15 minutes per battery and comes with a variety of features, such as hover, auto land, take-off, and one-key return. Out of the box, you have the drone, the controller that you can attach to your phone, 2 batteries, replacement rotor blades, user manual, and a usb cable to charge the drone battery. You can download the app from the iOS App Store or Google Play and get a FPV (First Person View) to see what your drone sees while you are in the air. There is an antenna on the underside of the drone to help maximize the signal reception from the remote as well as an elevation sensor to determine how far off the ground you are. You can also insert an SD card up to 128GB to record your flight videos and take photos from the sky. Overall I think this is an amazing drone especially for beginners and would definitely recommend to my friends.

great small drone and the price was great too. easy to fly and great videos and pictures.

Nice drone. Decent picture. Good for beginners. Easy to use.

I recently bought the S5C Elite drone for a family gathering, and as someone who’s never owned a drone before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully, this drone made my first experience surprisingly easy and fun! Setting it up was straightforward, and the controls were simple enough for a beginner like me to figure out. It took a little practice to get the hang of flying smoothly, but once I did, I was impressed with how stable it was—even with a bit of wind. The camera quality was better than I expected, and we got some great shots of the family cookout. The battery life isn’t super long, so I’d recommend grabbing an extra battery if you plan to use it for extended periods. But overall, the S5C Elite was a great buy for the price. It’s beginner-friendly, durable (yes, I crashed it a few times), and perfect for capturing fun memories. If you’re new to drones and want something easy to learn, this is a solid choice!

Battery life gives me around 25 minutes per charge, which is more than enough for casual flights and quick video shoots. The foldable design makes it easy to toss in a backpack, and the remote feels like something out of a sci-fi movie — intuitive and responsive. For under $300, I got a cinematic view of the world I never thought I could afford. It’s more than a toy — it’s an experience.

Very easy to fly. Very good price great beginner drone

Easy to fly. Records and takes pictures very clear
