Holyton HT02 Mini Drone for Kids Beginners, Easy Pocket RC Quadcopter with Altitude Hold, 3D Flips, 3 Speed Modes, 3 Batteries, Headless Mode, Protection Guards and Emergency Stop, Gift for Boys Girls

I've flown lots of toy drones and this is one of my favourites. It is consistently well behaved, very stable and is extremely manoeuvrable. At every speed it is fun - and speed 3 is more than enough for any indoor scenario. Hovering and altitude control are very good. Features are good.The remote control might put some people off - it looks cheap and childish - but if you get over that, its a nice remote, everything is laid out right there to use and easy to access and you get used to the big bubble in the middle of it e.g. trim controls are there with a dedicated pad. The unit hardly ever needs trimming because it is so well behaved.The motors on this are directly off the chassis (no flimsy struts) - and the guard is a cage that surrounds the unit - I like that design. Its a stable flier and if you bump a wall, it tends to just bounce off or nudge itself back into flight - it's very forgiving.My 8 year old took to it very quickly and my jealous 10 year old returned her larger drone for one of these.Battery life is as claimed - about 5 - 6 minutes. Slightly fiddly to change the battery but you get used to it and it becomes a quick change after doing it a few times. For that price, I'm not sure you can do much better.

This mini drone is absolutely awesome. My ten year old son previously had a couple of remote control helicopters, both of which broke very easily after a couple of small collisions and we're difficult to control.After scrolling through Amazon I came cross this mini drone. Initially a bit cynical due to it being a brand I'd not heard of, I read the reviews and decided to give it a go.It's brilliant! Yes it is small (hence the 'mini' part of the description) but great fun to fly around and really easy to get the hang of. My boy loves it and I have to adnit it is great fun.The fact it comes with THREE batteries is excellent, as is the way it can be stored in a protective cover on top of the controller. 3 different speed settings, the ability to do flips, a forward facing light, and the facility to correct it for any drift even after calibrating. It even has a lightweight 'cage' which protects the props in case of collision - and has replacement props if needed.This is excellent value for money, surprisingly robust, and has some great functions - including headless mode for those who want or know how to use it.Genuinely very impressed with this, I believe it would make a great gift for boys or girls anywhere from the age of 6 upwards. My lad is ten and loves it. I'm 47 and love playing with it too!!

This is a good mini drone to practice on until you are confident enough to buy something more expensive.It needs pairing every time you use it, which is a bit annoying but only takes a few seconds.It doesn’t hover very well, it drifts, even when it’s trimmed via the remote control. It’s a bit annoying as you can’t just leave it hovering in the air in case it goes sideways and crashes into something.There is an emergency stop button, so if you see it heading for disaster you can stop it straight away.The cage is fiddly to fit but protects the blades from damage. This means it can’t be stored inside the remote control unless you pull the cage off again.The batteries are very fiddly to fit, it’s a tiny connection, which has to be fitted the correct way round to avoid damaging the drone. You do get 2 batteries, prolonging the time you can fly the drone but I’ve no idea how long they will last before a wire gets damaged from trying to constantly unplug it from the drone.Reasonably priced and easy to fly.Hope you found my review helpful

Very easily broken. Battery life awful.Easy to control but when battery is almost finished it goes crazy and does what it wants. It wouldn't respond and went in my daughters hair we had to cut it out. This was due to it having its own mind.

Didn't have high expectations for these, just a practice for 2 young boys.. But these things are brilliant! Great for indoors, pretty tough and easy to fix.

Bought for my son and was disappointed that this drone didn't fly very well and it also drains batteries rather quickly.Looks nice though
