    This drone does everything its supposed to. It actually flies and operates way better than I expected. It gets pretty sketchy when flying high about 40 to 70 feet high. I think its mostly because it is fairly light due to being a cheaper drone. I was able to kep it from crashing though

    It’s good. But it’s not great. Needs a bigger battery. Fight tilts away and I can’t have it “stick” in one spot. Controls seem backwards on the directions joystick. Up down is fine but not the directions side. It’s opposite. Controller feels VERY cheap and only supports phones with no case. Can’t use a large phone or a phone and case. However it works and you have to get used to its controls. But it works well. I haven’t tried the camera yet because well the phone situation. But so far we are enjoying dying it around and hopefully it will hold up well enough to make the purchase worth it.

    Better than expected for the price. Decent control and balance. Video feed not good as there is no stabilizer, so videos get shaken and brazed a lot. Another downside is, only one battery is supplied and in my case that battery frame came broken.

    My dog loves this toy. Only problem a screw fell out of a wing. Its hard finding replacement screws cuz the store doesnt carry the size and idk what size i need. The battery last for 20 min. Which is long enough for the dog. I didnt look at the app yet to know how the camera is.

    Out of the box, simple setup and connecting it to my device wasn’t difficult. Flys well but sometimes drifts, could be a user error. Recommended for anyone starting out and wanting to get a drone with a camera.

    I have never seen a drone of such good quality at this price in my life. When I opened the box and picked up the drone, my mind already wanted to fly to the roof as a child, Even though the sun outside the house was interrupting its daily activities and the light was starting to fade, I and this drone and ran out of the house
