Listed battery types include alkaline cells (LR44, AA), internal rechargeable batteries, and at least one listing that references a non‑universal lithium pack; check the product details to confirm whether batteries are replaceable or built‑in rechargeable units.
Common stability features include built‑in gyroscopes, coaxial rotors, motion or perimeter sensors, and automatic hover/auto‑land functions that help stabilize flight and avoid obstacles.
Reported heights range from about 1.7 inches up to about 15.4 inches, and weights span roughly 0.07 pounds up to about 4.5 pounds, depending on the model and materials.
