Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drone is a good first drone purchase. Got a sale for around $140, I would not pay the regular $279. Drone is very forgiving to Crashes except the camera. The camera Gimbal is no good, has cheap small plastic connection that broke first crash. I replaced with a fabricated metal replacement but it did not align correct and burnt up the gimbal motor. Fixed camera with appoxy and it works well, just no in-flight adjustments. Camera quality is not great but acceptable for the price. I love flying it and am pleased with controls once I got the hang of things. Would rec additional batteries as fly time is about 6min. per charge.

Great fun for my husband. My advice is to learn about flying the drone, practice often before you go too crazy. After a week, we lost the camera. Operator error. Otherwise the product is amazing!

Runs well, but very easy to break. Copter blades broke on 2nd day of use. For the cost you should expect a higher quality. Views on smart phone are very good

This was a gift for my husband he loves it its really easy and fun to have. Great gift choice...

Bought this for a gift for a friend. They set it up and used it that same day. It's a great entry level drone that doesn't come with a huge price tag. Just like all drones the battery life is not what you would hope for, lasts about 8 minutes.

Had fun using this gift. Took a while to get used to it.

Bought this for my 12 yr old son for Christmas. Less than 1 month later the housing broke. Yes it was crashed a few times but that is why I purchase a more expensive one thinking it would be stronger than the cheaper ones from WalMart. Very disappointed, for $279 you would think that it would be a little more sturdy. Contacted the company but no luck -they don't sell the housing unit and no offers to replace. Battery only stayed charged for about 15 minutes. Flight was very smooth, landing was bumpy.

I've flown drones a few times so wasn't too concerned about trying this one, however, from start up it took off way too fast, in my opinion. It was very responsive. In fact, a little too much so. Very difficult to control it. And I mad sure the speed control was on its lowest setting. I will say that the included camera picture quality was pretty good, and I liked the fact that it puts out its own wifi signal instead of just Bluetooth so that you can see the picture on the iPhone even when the drone is at a distance. Overall I think it's a decent drone, but certainly not good for beginners.

I have many drones bought as a black friday deal and don't sync to phone with ease but works flying close to you. Not great for any wind conditions.

This Protocol Drone was a great choice for our son's first Drone -- He had it up and running in no time at all and is greatly enjoying it! Can't ait for Spring so he will have better weather to use it. Best Buy was selling it for $100 off retail. Can't beat Best buy.

Brought for my Husband as a gift and he absolutely loves it!!!

Works well but I need more practice working it. Hope to have more time soon

It is a fun drone but takes a lot of practice. We spent several days learning to fly it. Now the only problem we have is getting the live stream to work. Still haven't figured that out. But a great drone for entry level. Takes patience.

This is a beautiful drone. It is definitely for an intermediate user. After a few try with it, was disappointed in the battery life and was able to find a drone with better features for much less money. So I returned this drone

My son wanted to try a drone but the prices were a little high to buy at the time. But when I saw this one on sale it seemed to match all the needs with ½ the price. It is a great starter drone!

My main gripe is the horrible flight time 12 minutes after waiting on full charge for 3 hours come on! It has some of the features of a higher quality drone but don't expect a pro bargain.

My boyfriend loves it. He is having a great time taking pictures and making videos with it. Battery life doesn't last to long and picture quality is not the best, but, it is a very cool drone.

I spent $170+ for this drone for my boyfriends Christmas present . Luckily I got him a gopro also because the drone alone would have been devastating! He was so excited when he got it but within the first day of flying it , it only flew for about 15 minutes. And it gets really fuxing hot in the center ! Not only that the battery needs to recharge ! I've learned my lesson , I should have bought the $400 drone and would've been more happier but I settled for less . If you want something to fly for more than 15 minutes , then look elsewhere .

Takes patience to learn to fly it. Read your instructions. We still can't get the camera/video to work right. We enjoy flying it around the house. Takes a bit of practice though

it is a very good item for a starter drone and the price. the only compliant is the length of battery life. very short but also do not know how to compare to other drones.
