    This is my second drone purchase and I am very happy with it! From the moment I opened the box, the included carrying case and apron blew me away. The drone, remote, batteries, extra paddles and USB-C were all neatly packaged. The instructions were easy to read. In my opinion, the machine has three different speeds ranging from beginner to intermediate. The slowest speed can be used indoors or for younger children. The second and third speeds can only be used outside in a clearing, away from trees and other obstacles. The drone can be run using a cell phone, but connecting the phone is not necessary if you only need to familiarize yourself with the action and not look at the screen. Two batteries are included in the package, so the drone can take off right away, and a full charge will allow the drone to fly 2 times for 10 minutes each time. For me, this was more than enough to get used to flying the drone. The camera works really well for such an inexpensive drone. To use the camera feature, you need to download the app and connect the drone. It's super easy to operate so don't worry about it. My main purpose for purchasing this aircraft was to photograph the outside of my house and check the condition of the gutters. Mission accomplished! I am very happy with my overall experience with this drone. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a fun and inexpensive hobby.

    This is my first time buying such an inexpensive drone, but I got it as a gift for a friend who’s never flown one before. I wouldn’t be surprised if he crashes it, haha! He was thrilled when he received it, immediately unpacking and giving it a go. This little thing is super light, so there’s no need to register it, which is awesome. It operates almost like a GPS drone, but with way fewer setup steps, making it easy for beginners. The trick flips surprised me, it’s a feature my GPS drone doesn’t have! Overall, it’s a beginner friendly drone that’s simple to operate and lets you learn the basics without spending too much, making it a great choice for entry level fun.

    The package comes with a carrying case and spare propellers, and the two batteries provide over 20 minutes of flight time, which makes outdoor flying really convenient. I've never owned a drone before, and I find learning to use it both fun and fascinating. It's got a very lightweight design, and the arms can fold up, which is a plus, but also a downside because its light weight means it doesn't handle wind very well. So, it's best to use it in the park when it's not too windy. The packaging is really nice, making it a great gift option.

    This is a fun drone and it's really compact, making it easy to hold in your hand. Even though each battery only lasts about 10 minutes, it comes with two batteries, which is fantastic. The whole setup process is straightforward and easy to follow—I didn't encounter any problems. The app's live view feature lets me see the footage in real-time, giving me my first real taste of FPV, which is amazing. I love that the entire set fits into a carrying case, making it super convenient to store when not in use.

    Setup was a breeze. After downloading the app, it took less than a minute to get everything connected. Learning to fly was simple, and the drone responds perfectly to the controls. I was amazed to see it do flips in the air, just like a little bird! The bright lights make it easy to see, even at night, but keep in mind it doesn't hover as steadily in low light. Overall, I highly recommend this drone—it's a great choice for beginners, and my kids absolutely love it.

    Beginner drone

    Adorable, portable little drone! It's super lightweight and just right for a first time flyer like me. It's really easy to control, just press a button to get it off the ground, and it can even do flips in mid air! For its size, it's surprisingly sturdy, I've crashed it a bunch of times, but only had to replace the blades twice, and it's still flying like a champ. The FPV view is really clear, and the picture quality is pretty decent too. You do need to download an app, but it's easy; just scan the QR code in the manual, and it takes you straight to the App Store. Plus, the app is free! It comes with two batteries, a remote, a charging cable, extra blades, a landing pad, and a carry bag. Great value for the price!

    I got it just to get the hang of flying, and it's way easier than I expected—basically just charge it, and you're good to go. Not surprisingly, I did crash into a wall (my fault for not turning on obstacle avoidance!), but the drone held up great. I just had to replace a blade, which was super easy, and it's flying like new again. Definitely a simple, durable choice for anyone new to drones.

    This is my first time using a drone, although I've seen others use them before. When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find a carrying case and a landing pad included, which are great bonuses. The operation was unexpectedly simple; as a first-time user, I had no trouble at all. You just insert the battery, power it on, and push the joystick on the remote to take off—super beginner-friendly. Connecting the app was also straightforward: download the app, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're good to go. The flip function really impressed me; I never imagined a drone could perform such maneuvers. The camera isn't the best, but it provides a clear view, and there's even a bottom camera that lets you switch between the two. The obstacle avoidance feature gives beginners extra peace of mind. I really like this drone!

    This is a great little drone for learning the ropes with flying and filming. It's under 250g, so no need for a license. The altitude hold is awesome for steady flights around the house with no difting around to worry about, though I did accidentally clip my wife's plants once. This thing is small, but fast and powerful! After taking it outdoors, I quickly realized why I needed to practice on a beginner drone before buying an expensive one. It's a lightweight drone, so wind does push it around outdoors, the wind I encountered made it difficult to fly upwind, yet very fast when flying downwind. But overall, it took me a little while to get used to it, but once I got the hang of it, flying it was a breeze! And it's a good beginner drone to practice with before getting something pricier.

    My kid loves remote control toys, especially cars, so I got him this drone to let him experience flying. It's a bit more complex than a car since you have to download an app, but to my surprise, my kid set it up all by himself after reading the instructions! This drone has a brushless motor like my own GPS drone, which means it's got great power and durability. Each battery gives about 10 minutes of flight time, and it comes with two, so that's a plus. It flies around 150 feet, which is enough since it doesn't have GPS to bring it back if it runs out of battery. I love flying it with him, this drone left a great impression on me, and I'll probably stick with Contixo when I upgrade to a GPS drone for him!

    This drone, equipped with a 1080P camera, offers a very user-friendly experience for beginners like me. The pairing process takes less than a minute, and features like one-key takeoff/landing, speed switching, and headless mode make it incredibly easy to control. With just the press of a button, you can perform impressive 360° flips. The drone also has an obstacle avoidance feature, which gives me more confidence while practicing. Even though I accidentally crashed it once, it seemed completely unaffected and continued to fly normally, with only a few scratches on the shell. The app has many features that I plan to explore once I become more proficient. Overall, it's a fantastic beginner drone!

    I bought this drone for my grandson's upcoming 14th birthday. It's his first time using one, so I didn't go for a more advanced model. This drone's features and price seem perfect for beginners. Even though I've used drones before, this little gadget is the quickest to pair—just one minute and it's ready to fly. It has all the basic drone functions and can even perform some cool stunts. The downside is that it doesn't have GPS, so it's not super stable outdoors, but the brushless motors give it enough power to handle a light breeze. With two batteries, it offers over 20 minutes of flight time, which I'm really happy about. It even comes with an extra landing pad, which the $300 drone I bought didn't include. I'm really excited to give this little gadget to my grandson!

    We recently purchased a drone to be able to see the woodline behind our house. We know there is Bobcats, Coyotes and other animals out there but want to get a better look. My youngest daughter desperately wants to use that drone so we decided to get her one of her very own that isnt as expensive. This is perfect! She can fly this with ease and if she breaks it, I wont be too terribly upset. It is easy to use and the quality is decent.

    The Contixo F19 Brushless Motor GPS Drone is a solid choice for beginners and hobbyists looking for an affordable GPS drone. Its brushless motors, GPS features, and decent camera make it a compelling option in its price range. While it has some limitations, such as camera stabilization and wind resistance, its overall value makes it a worthwhile consideration for those new to the world of drone flying. Just be sure to manage your expectations in terms of image quality and flight performance compared to more expensive drones.
