Description
Sky Viper Force Gesture-controlled Drone is a drone you can play with - without using a remote control! With motion sensors all over the drone, it can sense its surrounding. Once charged, toss the drone into the air for it to power on - it will hover in the air! With the movement of your hands towards the drone, you can push the drone to go in a certain direction or slow down to a stop. Start with your hand over the drone and move it around until your hand is below the drone for a neat trick! A whole new way to fly a drone!

Q: Is it assembled, & is it pretty sturdy (since it's for kids)? Also how long does it work afater being charged via USB cable?
submitted by Nana - 7 months ago
A: Full charge=10-12 minutes. My $200+ drone has a fly time of 12 minutes also. This thing is AMAZING. I dropped it about 20 times with no damage. Charge time=15-20 min. 👍 5 STARS!
Battery lasted for roughly 5 minutes the first time we used it and then would only hold a charge for 30 seconds max following that, regardless of how long we let it charge for.

I bought 2 of these for my twin daughters and they worked for an hour and now all we get is blinking lights and the sphere just plummets to the ground. The "manual" is useless and I tried to look up troubleshooting on their website but this product isn't even listed!! I can't find anything about these blinking lights and how to fix it.

Fun and cool but malfunctions a lot

Djonae18 - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I'm giving it three stars because my kids love it and it's a cool toy, but they don't work well for long. Luckily it's not too expensive and I got it for 50% off which is a great deal. I'm on my third one now and its not working after barely one use so I'm going to have to use my protection plan already. It literally fell because it was dying and now one of the blades won't spin, which seems to be a common malfunction. One time it got caught in my hair somehow and I couldn't get all the strands out so two blades wouldn't work. Overall it's inexpensive and fun so we'll stick with these until we find something that'll last.

I love this toy, my son can play with inside and because of the sensors it never runs into any of my furniture or decor. It is very simple to use, took him less then 10 minutes to figure it out.

Doesn’t perform well. Even with full charge it would take my hand commands well and drifted on its own. Hard to control and would go to the ground fairly quickly.

Caught on Fire

Chey - 4 months ago
My son was playing with the toy when 2 of the fans stopped working. we tried to turn it off thinking the batteries were dying but it simply would not turn off no matter if we pressed and held or just pressed the button. Within 2 minutes a 3rd fan stopped working. less than 30 seconds later it started smoking from the 3rd fan and my husband had to step on it to prevent it from fully catching fire inside the house. It was fun while it lasted but the risk of fire is definitely there. In total it operated for less than 1 month under normal occasional use.

Played with this one time with my daughter and it suddenly won’t turn on now or charge. We got about 5 minutes of play time until it lost battery and shutting off 10 seconds into playing with it. After our one-time play session, I hooked it back up to charge and the lights went on as if it was charging fine. But we went to play with it today and it doesn’t power on or display any lights when plugged into the power source. Bummed!

Charging Port Broken

kemunoz - 4 months ago
Wish we read the reviews. The charging port busted the first day we bought it. Out of the box it charged and my son was able to play for a little bit. Once it lost charged he tried to charge again and it wouldn't stay connected. Upon further inspection I realized the charging piece was upside down and had become dislodged from the main frame making it completely unusable.

calibration sequence does not work as specified. in any case, upon throwing its motors will spin but it invariably and quickly descends to the ground, instead of hovering. also doesn't respond to any hand gestures as it should. Junk brand. waste of time and money. back to target it goes.
