Mini Drone with Camera - 1080P HD FPV Foldable Carrying Case, 2 Batteries, 90° Adjustable Lens, One Key Take Off/Land, Altitude Hold, 360° Flip, Toys Gifts for Kids, Adults, beginner

If you're on the lookout for a beginner-friendly drone or a gift for children, this drone is an excellent choice. It stands out for its ease of use and compact design, making it easy to store and transport. Flying this drone is straightforward, even for those who are new to drones, and the controls are intuitive and responsive.One of the most significant aspects to consider is the battery life. For its price range, the battery duration is quite satisfactory, offering ample flying time to enjoy before needing a recharge. However, keep in mind that, like most drones in this category, it is susceptible to drifting on windy days, which can impact stability and control.Despite this minor downside, I highly recommend this drone for beginners and as a gift for children. Its user-friendly nature and compact size make it a delightful and practical choice for new drone enthusiasts.

The media could not be loaded.  I have only owned one other drone (a vivitar skytracker drone) prior to this Pioneer drone. That drone battery never charged so I could never fly that one. I was able to get this Pioneer drone shortly after.Initial thoughts out of box: Smaller than the vivitar drone. I am a little worried oklahoma wind might affect it, but nice to not have to pay for another uas registration. The remote can hold your phone pretty securely, but larger phones may not fit. I have an older galaxy note 8 which fits, but I had to remove my phone case first. I found a larger carrying case though... once you attach the propeller guards, it's a tighter fit in the original carrying case. I preferred to find the larger case versus removing and reapplying the guards with each use. The legs each folded out for flying and back in for storage.Registration through app was fast.App: The app is easy to use. There is the option to use flight controls through the app rather than the actual remote that comes with the drone. Display through the app is nice, not much of a lag time.Battery: Battery life is expectedly short, but it does come with two batteries which is nice. Full charging for each battery is fairly quick at 90 min each which is nice.Preflight: Calibration of the drone is fast. The one thing I would mention is to make sure the drone is level before calibrating. This will save time trying to fix the trim and will be much easier to fly. I ignored this step for my first flight and the drone pruned up some rose bushes we had.Flying: Flying takes some patience. If you are already an experienced drone pilot, it should come fairly easy. If you are more of a beginner, I suggest learning to fly this drone in an open field, away from pools, trees, buildings... the drone is pretty resilient if it accidentally bounces off something, but I still suggest using the propeller guards. It has 3 flying speeds: 30%, 60%, and 100%. I started with the 30% until I got the hang of it more. It has a one button take off and landing feature that is nice, as well as headless flying when it starts getting to high to see which direction it is facing. Using the on screen app controls seems to be a little more responsive than the controller.Camera: Comes with a 1080p adjustable camera which gives pretty clear pictures... video can be slightly blurry while you are changing direction of the drone, but is great in comparisom to the cost of the drone.Cost: Originally listed at $66... also had a 30% coupon. Definitely on the affordable end of drone costs.Wishes: Overall it is a fun drone to play around with. I do wish it was less affected by the Oklahoma wind, but that is no fault of the drones. My other big wish is that it had a return to starting point feature.Overall impression: Very affordable drone for anyone, but flying features may be better for someone with a little drone piloting under their belts already. Don't be afraid to learn on it though. It is a solidly constructed drone that can take a little abuse from even brand new drone pilots without affecting its handling. Fun little drone that won't break the bank!

Seriously great little drone and super easy to operate. My first 2 flights were indoors and the response was amazing.My first outside flight went perfect for a few minutes.The drone then went into vertical norther direction with absolutely no response.I was not upset, user error is entirely possible.It is a great priced drone that worked fantastic indoors.

The media could not be loaded.  This is my first drone purchase, and I am newbie. I have never flew drones or anything alike.I received drone in nice packaged. it has the following:1. carrying pouch where you can put drone and remote, for easy carrying around.2. Two sets of rechargeable batteries and a charging cable.3. Two extra mini blades and a screw driver.4. Four protective frame.This is a mini drone, light weight but nicely built. The arms are sturdy. Has front camera that swivels up and down (probably 120 degrees vertical movement), I wish it has back facing camera.Setting up drone was quite easy. The instructions provided with drone are pretty straight forward. I was up and flying in less than 10 minutes. I am an learner, so I am still learning to fly.It has 3 speeds that you can choose from to fly this mini-drone. The app on iOS app store is pretty decent, which allows you to take photos and videos when flying. The photo and video are pretty decent, and were better qualify than I would expect for the price of drone.The drone is pretty fun and beyond expectation. Initially the drone would veer to left and does not hover, I googled up, and it has something to do with re-calibrating the gyros, the are also instructions to do it provided with the drone, and after some re-calibrations, the drone was pretty stable. Overall having good experience and having lots of fun driving this little fella around. You can check my video, which was just after putting and configuring the drone and took it out to fly. It was bit windy here, and you can notice the mini was getting pushed back by winds :) It was kind of fun though.The camera takes good pictures if your drone hovers still, and if you fly around (maybe it is a lag), but I am fine with it. On a complete charge, it gives me up to 15 to 20 minutes of flying.I would definitely recommend this for anybody to learn and have fun.

I bought this as an inexpensive way to learn before I invested in a real ($$$) drone so I would not crash it immediately. The only bad I have found was it is very light, so I took it outside first and the wind (ight to moderate) made it difficult to control. This was the wind, not the drone but just FYI. I took it home and decided to try it in our basement. Very fun and worth every penny. Batteries (it came with 2 which is awesome) give about 8 mins flight time and controller works great. Cool things - The app that you download to your phone lets you use your phone without the remote, so that was very nice. Also, the damn thing is kid proof. I have crashed it over 30 times easily and it is still flying just fine. Kids loved it. Wife even liked it.

This is a great little drone. We bought it for our 7 year old and he manipulates is easily. It's not great in strong winds, but I imagine that's the case for most drones. Easy to use and a MUST buy for beginners, especially children. My husband is also very keen on it but I've reminded him he needs to share with the child that the present was intended for!!! :)

Over priced and quite flimsy...many other similar products on the market at less price
