Customers are saying
Customers commend the S5C Elite 1080p Drone for its excellent camera quality, ease of use, and good battery life, making it a great option for beginners. Many also appreciate its price point and intuitive controls, including features like one-touch takeoff and landing. However, some users note limitations in the drone's range and size, which can affect flight performance, especially in windy conditions. The lightweight design, while contributing to ease of use, can also make it susceptible to wind drift.

Good for beginners

Cool FIRST FPV
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not bad for a first drone, very limited range, extremely limited altitude, maybe 75 feet. Battery last about 11 minutes in flight. Strong, yet this is PLASTIC, so beware! Ove flowj this dsily for 2 weeks now, its pretty fun for a low budgettt low range pocket drone. $70ish bucks? Worth it. Just don’t intentionally slam it into things and it will last a while. Careful on the controller, it’s fragile. You could do worse. If you’re looking to FLY RIGHT NOW, you can easily drive to best buy and and be in the air in an hour.

Great Starter Drone for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price - 5 Camera - 4, decent image for 1080p WiFi - 3, be careful with how far up and out you go, you can easily lose connection. Default max height 20m can be increased in 10m increments to 50m. It will beep and try to warn you.

Shouldnt even be maufactured
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drone is an awful excuse for a “good” by definition. I wouldn’t have paid a $1 for it if I got to use before buying. The camera quality, no exaggeration whatsoever, is worse than the most basic camera phone from 2005. Its so incredibly grainy and unclear that it almost seems they went out of their way to make it as bad as possible. I didnt even know cameras with this low of quality still existed. The app is absolutely attrocious. It routinely loses connection with the drone. It also forgets that you used the auto takeoff and won’t let you use the auto land. Or vice versa. The drone maneuvers well overall but that is only when the drone is actually able to connect to the controller. It also advertises 15-18 minute fly time which is just criminally false. I fully charged the battery and took it outside and got 5 mimutes of flight in my back yard flying no higher than 15 ft. I bought it because it had pretty good reviews but now I understand they must have been paid to lie through their teeth because this drone is nowhere as good as the other reviews make it out to be. Not even for a beginner. Because it just flat out doesn’t work. Most of the time. The battery packs are also suppsed to have an LED in them so you can see when they are charged, the batteries that came in mine do not have functioning LED’s so I cannot even tell when they arr charged if at all until I put it in my drone and see if it will turn on or not. TLDR: This is the most poorly manufactured oroduct I’ve ever seen. Any kind of product testing by Snaptain would have told them that thisbwas worthless.

Best drone
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect starter drone!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

“Very nice,” was the quote I took from my boy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couple days of use and we’ve put it through some paces for sure. It’s stable and smooth. Quick when needed with the option of two speeds and responsive even at quite a distance.

No Wi-fi, No Camera!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an easy to fly drone and seems very decent for the price, however. It is not clearly stated in the advertisement that you need Wi-Fi to use the camera. Therefore if you take the drone out and about without use of the camera the drone is all but useless. I'm very tempted to return the item due to this!

Worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Besides the difficulty of getting the app to work. The drone is great! The pictures and video are clear. As long as the winds are light there's no trouble controlling it.

Awesome little beginner drone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drone is perfect for anyone who is just learning. One thing to consider though is that this drone does not have a auto hover feature, so it can drift a little bit when you are not touching the controllers. Overall, a really good drone for the price point.
