The media could not be loaded. So, to preface, about 10 years ago, I got into micro quads and whoops. My first, and also the smallest, was the Estes Proto X (size of a quarter). It was a hoot, and all around a great flyer. It was very acrobatic and highly maneuverable. It had very responsive controls, could climb and drop like a bat out of hell, and was super easy to fly right out of the box. I also loved the controls. It's not always that you find the translational controls on the right thumbstick, and elevation and head controls on the left. Although, ideally, you should be able to program and customize this the way you want. But, that's for more advanced radios that costs more $$$. Anyways, this quad has the same kind of controls, and I was really happy to find that. Now, this quad is kind of a throw back to my early quads.It's very stable out of the box. Almost no trimming is necessary. It flies inside like a dream. Very easy to control, and it's not super responsive that you can fly fast and crash into walls. The most responsive level is still controllable by most people, and I think that was intentional for the age group this is targeting. I really love the prop guards. Never had that before on my other early whoops and micros. I was always trashing propellers. The motor guards are nice, but I wonder how much longer the motors will last before the bottom hits wear them out. As an aside, please note that THESE ARE BRUSHED MOTORS AND USUALLY DON'T LAST LONG. I think 100 flights is optimistic. 50 flights, and probably one motor will start to go bad. I like the lights. The front light is almost like a small floody flashlight. Just on a much smaller scale, obviously. What else? The kit does come with lots of neat little trick hoops and obstacles to fly through. I'm not interested in this, but it may be something fun for the kids.All in all, I would definitely recommend this. Especially considering another recent micro quad I got from Amazon that just freaking sucked. This thing is a dream in comparison.

The media could not be loaded. Quite a good beginners drone with a lot of features. It has headless, expert, trick modes. Also has auto take off and auto land as well as a "return" mode. Very small so flying inside is no issue. I'd also be careful with flights outside, as wind will interfere with its flight since its so small.In the video I quickly demo the trick mode, expert mode and auto land.Now on the modes, headless or "kid" mode, headless mode means that your drone “faces forward” no matter your position on the ground. The headless mode makes the drone respond to your controls irrelative to which way it’s actually facing, so that you don’t have to keep track of the drone’s orientation in flight.Only issue I have with this mode is the transmitter beeps when you are in it.Expert mode allows the drone to respond much faster to inputs.Auto take off and auto land are just that. Press a button and it with take off and land from its current position.Trick mode you press the right shoulder button and then input any direction on the right stick to do some pre programed tricks.Battery gets you about 5-6 mins of flight time, depending on how you are flying it. Takes about 30 mins to charge. Comes with two batteries. Drone lights will flash to let you know the battery is low. You have about 30 seconds to land before it shuts off...so make sure to watch those lights!Comes with some trick loops and a landing pad as well. All in all a great little drone!

I started up my drone, followed the linking process and after I hit the button to start up the DRONE FLEW hundreds of feet in the air! That drone was ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM and it was still flying over the truck stop until I couldn’t see it anymore! That drone still may be flying for all I know! I need a replacement!

This thing was zippy, perhaps too much so! It moves so fast that it instantly crashes. It is hair trigger sensitive. Also, the charger stopped charging after the third day. I wrote the seller and they said if I purchase a new kit then they would refund it so I could replace the charger with a whole other kit. That was kind. Now we have two of these guys. The extras like the obstacle course and the landing pad were nice pluses.

First and foremost, this is a fun little drone! After recharging the batteries 2x each I started to have a little more difficulty than usual getting the drone to pair with the transmitter. This meant unplugging the battery and turning off the transmitter in various sequences before it would recognize the proper throttle up / dn pairing procedure. Not a deal breaker, but you do need patience. Once paired, I was getting flight times of just over 6 minutes while flying around the inside of our home. It is pretty stable for the most part but can be a bit erratic in the faster modes. Seems like the flight board may be over compensating during corrections at times. It is super light and super tiny, but after bouncing off the walls, ceiling and floor numerous times it still looks and functions like new (aside from the aforementioned pairing issues). Nice ducted whoop design and is well built for this level of fun.
