Guests are saying
The drone offers a fun flying experience, especially for beginners and younger kids, with features like easy maneuverability and the ability to perform stunts. However, guests frequently mention the short battery life, which limits playtime to about five minutes per charge. Despite this drawback, many guests appreciate its lightweight design and durability, making it suitable for indoor use and family fun. Overall, it can be a great gift for those looking to introduce kids to drone flying.

$35 for something that has to be fully charged after 5 minutes of use. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention or they need to be more transparent about the ratio of time before you have to charge it again. In the manual it say “fully charged” only lasts 5 minutes of usage before you have to fully charge it again. Not worth $35 dollars

Zero stars. Would not connect to controller consistently, it disconnected and wouldn’t steer so the drone crashed into the water. Such a waste of money.

G A R B A G E !
Absolute garbage and a total waste of money. Constantly disconnects from its remote control and crashes no matter how hard you try to navigate and land it smoothly. I’m not joking when I say we had to re-pair with the remote every 5 minutes. Do not waste your money or sanity!!

Worked great for a 2 days, and then we could not get the drone and remote to sync. Multiple tech-savvy adults looked at it and tried everything and could not get them to sync again.

Terrible!
Trash. My son got it for Christmas, took 2 hours to charge and only allowed for 10 minutes of play time. Can't have ANY little bit of wind at all or it does not function correctly. Can't get it to go forward against the wind, and it kept drifting. Thing is too lightweight and not enough power. When we found a better spot with no wind, he landed it and the propellers popped off. Didn't land hard. Then one propeller wouldn't shut off even with the unit off. Drone could lift up again. Very disappointed. This thing is garbage. Not worth the 4 AA batteries the remote uses.

Awful product
Awful item. Takes forever to charge, disconnected from remote only for it to fly who knows where and it’s now lost. I bought for my son for Christmas and he barely got to play with it before it took off on its own. Do not recommend.

short battery life
5 minutes of flight per charge with a 60 minute charge time... what a waste of excitement and money.

DO NOT BUY
I wish I read some of the review in here. Fair that it could fly for 5 mins due to its size/ weight, BUT IT NEEDS 1 HOUR TO CHARGE.

Fun child drone
Buy it! My son loves it (5yo). Easy to use. The battery life isn’t great but isn’t terrible either. As long as it’s charged, it’s good for a kid.
