    I love this small drone. I have been flying dji drones, but this small one is so good in order to fly for fun. A big plus is that it comes with vr head set and 2 batteries.

    I have purchased others in the past and never got them off the front porch. Whether by remote or VR it flys great and is a lot of fun. Super easy to control.

    Great Low-Stakes Fun

    I ditched the propeller guards and this was a ton of fun to fly. I've crashed a few times and haven't seen any durability issues at all. This comes with 2 batteries? It sure does! That was pretty sweet. Flying it with WiFi is pretty cool. You tilt your phone around and the drone moves accordingly. I've never flown like that before and it shows; it's super fun but I crashed a bunch. That's alright because this drone didn't cost too much and it doesn't seem to break! Great Low-Stakes Fun! I prefer the remote to WiFi flying myself. It feels solid and the control ergonomics are good. I didn't pull out the measuring tape, but I'd say range was as advertised or better. I've flown both this and the Vento. I'd say this one has the edge as far as speed. The Vento has the edge for portability.

    This was purchased as a Xmas, so we haven’t been able to test it out yet; this would be the reason for the four stars. But based on the price and specs, it looks like it will be a great present for an 8 yr old. Price and specs appeared to be great, I recommended to my sister; she purchased as an Xmas gift as well.

    It’s only 70$ compared to the other high tech drones costing four hundred dollars and above and a good value . It had good flying capability and HD camera with VR headset. It’s good for kids without the high price tag.

    Devastated on Xmas Day 2017

    Dura VR Drone. Bought this for my Son for Xmas. Went to park together on Xmas day, to try his new toy out. Wouldn't sync, then out out no where, the Drone took off. Straight up into the sky. I'd say well over 400'. We kept an eye on it until it wasn't visible anymore. Factory Defect, after all you would assume the if the drone is out of range, it would eventually fall back to the ground. Right?? So my Son (9year old)looked at me and said, "Awww man... Dad.. There goes my Xmas present, it Freaken flew to outer space. So I thought that was funny and naturally I laughed. My son was so devastated he cried. What really made me angry was the fact that I emailed and called Customer Service of the Manufacturer, with no response yet!!! Don't buy this drone. Very bad experience. It would mean the world to my Son if the Manufacturer or Best Buy would replace it with the Kaptur GPS drone. Let's see what happens. I'm taking my experience to all of social media. I hope Best buy comes through with that awesome customer service.

    I wanted a drone that was easy to fly and this one is it. I've never had a drone and wanted something easy to learn with so when I found this one on sale I bought it. It hasn't disappointed.

    We thought the camera would be better on this drone and the maneuverability. Glad we didn't spend more on it. We wanted something to try and thought this would be a step up from the cheaper ones.

    Decent Beginner Drone

    3 stars bc the FPV is totally useless. No range, high latency. But it is fun to fly and very resilient. Footage is somewhat decent, but nothing incredible but that's to be expected in this price point. Simple to use and solid connectivity with the controller. I give it 5 stars as to doing what I need. I have a super cheap one and wanted a better one and got it. Would be way better if it was marketed without the useless headset. But if you want to learn and not worry about tearing up a $500 unit, go for it. I do want to point out they make extra batteries for only $10, but the website is always out of stock and there are no other Retailers that sell them.

    This drone seems to be fairly durable. It has had a couple crashes into a bush and survived. I'm not sure but the video is choppy when trying to fly it with the phone, but the problem could be the inexpensive phone that I am using.

    Good drone to start with, let's you get the hang of flying and if you wreck it, not a huge loss. On the negative side the blade protectors come off a.bit too easy, already lost one which is an issue.

    Bought this for my husband as a gift. He absolutely loves it. With the price I wasnt even concerned if he crashed it (which he did and it is still going strong). He hasnt worn the headset yet, but even without it, it is a cool little drone and I would recommend .
