RC Mini Drone for Kids and Beginners Portable Pocket Quadcopter with Altitude Hold,One-Key Take-Off/Landing,Headless Mode and 3D Flips,Fun Gift for Boys Girls

After trying another small drone (H1 mini), I fell in love with the concept of tiny flying things to maneuver around my home. This one is even SMALLER! And it fits inside the controller for easy transport!I actually packed mine up with my suitcase to bring along on my visit to see my parents recently, and because it is so small, you can navigate around things even in normal sized rooms when flying. It flies incredibly smoothly and even does rolling flips (press the right button in and then choose the flip direction), but you should make sure to have enough space before doing that.It comes with little propeller guards you can optionally use to prevent crashing into things with the propellers, but apparently they can also be installed upside down as landing feet if you wish - I'll include images to show what I'm talking about, as well as comparing it in size to my H1 mini drone and a shot of it flying while I'm at it.A couple of caveats:The battery is not removable, and like other similar drones, the battery is too small to last longer than a few minutes at a time (7-10 seems about right). The good news is that it charges quickly, but it would have been nice to swap batteries like I can with the H1. I knew this going in however, since it is mentioned in the Q&A section that I read around here first.Secondly, the drone does not fit back into the case for storage with the guards on. You have to remove them and store them underneath the controller with the spare parts (which they also throw in, extra propellers, a tiny screwdriver, etc... sweet!). Not a big deal since the guards are optional anyway- you CAN just take it out and fly it, but personally I like having the guards on when flying indoors. I've hit walls with it and bounced right back because of the guard, so I just leave them on unless I'm going out and want to pack it up.I still would give this 5 stars because it is a BLAST to fly, my 1.5 year old son is mesmerized watching it, whenever I want him to calm down I take it out and make it fly around and dance to music. He always calms down and watches with excitement... and unlike my H1, I can easily take it when we travel. I love it!EDIT: Uploading pictures to help illustrate how TINY it is, and the two possible ways to connect the propeller shield. The yellow drone next to it in one of the pictures is the H1 I mention in the text above. Both are excellent for different reasons. If you want a replaceable battery and camera, go with that one. This one is just too cute, and can fly into tighter spaces (in between chair legs, etc).

fun little drone, good hovering and easy to navigate. So far so good, surviving multiple crashes. It would be even better if the drone is bigger, I found it hard to control when fly outdoors. Other than that no complaints.

We bought this for our 5 year old. He loved it and it was really easy to teach him the controls. Our 9yr old neighbor came by, and within SECONDS, he destroyed it. I’m giving it a 3 because it wasn’t our son’s fault that it broke, but it didn’t seem to be very durable. I have learned not to let our neighbor play with my son’s new toys though.

The day we received this item, my boys were excited. We followed all instructions and after charging properly, we attempted some test flights inside the house. The left controller kept sticking in the down position and would not return to neutral on its own. The joystick kept falling off.We went outside where it was calm to have a little more room to operate. The drone took off, quickly gained altitude and then veered off never responding to ANY control functions.I would like to return this, but the drone flew off and is now somewhere lost in our canyon or forest. First flight outside and it completely malfunctioned not responding to any controls. I sent an email to the email address listed on the box, but have not had any response from the seller. There is obviously some sort of problem with the drone responding to the controls at any distance more than 25 feet!

The media could not be loaded. This is a cool drone. It’s very quck, responsive, and can do a lot great tricks.I really like the controller/case. It keeps all the contents and props, and accessories inside the controller. When finished flying, just put the drone in the case and go. It’s a lot of fun to fly.I’m super impressed as to how well it flies outside. I flew it in some heavy wind and it had no problem cutting through the wind. This is small and very powerful nano drone. The light on the front helps a lot with orientation. Another favorite feature is the spinning feature. Press the button and it starts spinning and it’s just super cool. Very impressed how well it flies. I got it for my son; however, I love flying it too. Charges in under 30 minutes and gives a good 6-8 minutes of flight time. Very happy and highly recommend this drone for anyone looking for a cool indoor/outdoor flyer. Also recommend taking to a large gym to fly. This Nano drone cooks fast in a gym and because of it's speed and what it can do. The larger the space the more awesome fun you'll have with it. It is classified as a beginner drone; however, I consider it a stunt drone capable of impressive flying stunts for someone who want a more powerful and quick stunt flyer.

Propellers break easy. We burn through all the replacements the first day. Also difficult for a young child/beginner to fly ( despite product description that says it's a great beginner drone for a child )

Fun for all ages

Took about 10 minutes to get the hang of it. After that, we were flying like the pros.
