Conclusions: This is a fantastic little drone for beginners or enthusiasts. It is well-made, very stable, and capable of maneuvering indoors and outdoors in light winds. The camera is fine for what it is but don't expect HD video quality. The enclosed 4GB micro SD card & reader make viewing and transferring files a breeze. The modular design makes replacing/upgrading parts very easy, and there are several mods than can be done to improve it's functionality in several different ways. This is probably the best micro drone in this price range. Highly recommended.

Conclusions: Due to the crash guard (which comes hidden underneath the packaging, this little guy came out unscathed. Grass landings don't appear to phase it in the least. However, cement is less forgiving. If you are a quadracopter amateur, like I am, fly it indoors for a while to get used to the controls. It's difficult to master, or even just get acquainted with. DO NOT take it outside until you are proficient with. When you do, trim it after some low level runs to help counteract the wind. Now, after a few flights, I'm giving it five stars. Why? Because at $51, it's cheap. After a massive fall from ~150', it took no damage, only a missing prop.

Conclusions: I've had this little micro for almost 2 months now and all I can really say is WOW. The hours of fun - dollars spent ratio is fantastic. I bought some extra motors, tons of props, prop guard, and 6 more 500mah batteries and charger. I've rebuilt this little guy 3-4 times after bashing the tar out of it. It's smashed into trees, ground, concrete, and so on. I even dropped it from I'd say 500 ft when I got too brave. Lost it for 2 weeks and a neighbor found it after it had gone through a few rain storms. Point is the little guy can take some serious abuse. It is super quick and agile. I eventually took the camera module out because I was trying to shed some weight and the camera honestly is garbage. If you are looking for a basic learning quad to learn the in and outs with I would highly suggest this. It's not some silly junk toy. The controller isn't that bad either. Any how, I would suggest this little guy but be expected to smash it into a few things.

Conclusions: good item

Conclusions: So I wanted a cheap compact drone to be my first and I got this one. It's a good practice drone, very sturdy and can take a beating and high falls. I was trying at a barely field and the wind blew it to the deep field and it was impossible to find. Two months later it was harvest time and I finally found the drone, it was in great condition, still works, footage still available. It survived rain, sun, animals, and a tractor running over it. This is a truley amazing first drone and for practice and fun travel where you are not looking for high quality footage but footage is really good considering it's size. I have a video of when I lost it and found it and another video by a lake on my instagram f_alluwaimi

Conclusions: Fun flyer with a better than expected camera. Good value for Money!

Conclusions: Fast shipping, great communikation, super Product Quality!

Conclusions:  This is a great begginer quad copter. It is inexspensive and replacement parts are very easy to come buy. It as excelent manuverability and is easy to learn. I would recomend getting extra props as they can wear out easily, especially as you are learning. also USE THE PROTECTIVE RING TAPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER PACKAGE. I had not realized it came with one and probably broke a lot more props then was necessary. I went a head and ordered a separate one before I read someone else's comment and saw that it was included. Luckily it was only a dollar. I included some pictures and a video. First one is a size comparison to my computer mouse, second is to show that there is a protective ring taped to the bottom, third is a video of me checking how well the ring works. Keep in mind the quad sounds loud and pretty bad because I was using older props that needed to be replaced. I didn't want to put on fresh props with the intention of hitting a wall.

Conclusions: Verry stable in the air. It has a camera with good quality, but have no FPV. Good flight time.

Conclusions: So far i have flown it 3 times and it is holding up well even against strong winds

Conclusions: Fast shipping, 15 days to Malaysia. Good packaging, no damage even to the retail box. The unit is with the upgraded board (props shuts off when turned upside down), and with fast calibration before flight. Had an issue with three of the props being stiff to turn when screws tightened, resolved by shaving off the base of the props with sand paper. Quad is very easy to fly, long range but not tested out of LOS yet. Video quality is acceptable, especially if filming close subjects (have a look at my video of kids playing football below). Very happy with purchase.

Conclusions: I love this little quad copter! I bought this as a cheap and safe introduction to quads so I can learn. I am very impressed. It does take a few days of practice to learn to maintain a steady altitude and maneuver properly. When I first started I wondered if there was something wrong with it as it drifted about so badly and seemed to surge upward and then crash down. After a few days of practice though I can control it and am able to predict the behavior. I think the small size makes it a bit "unstable" by default, so it drifts and such, but seriously, after some practice, I can fly it around the house from room to room, maintain an altitude and land on objects. I highly recommend this as a first quad for learning how to fly. I really have no complaints.

Conclusions: Bought as spare

Advantages: Great drone for the price for sure. Love the GPS and auto return home.
