Review:It's small and it's compactable. I was able to fit it in my pocket with enough force. Overall, very hard to controll and has major adujusting to do. The tilt on it can be absurd at times, but overall pretty fun. The drone is pretty durable, but it is very hard to controll so it will hit walls constantly until you get a grip on it. Battery doesn't last as long as listed, it lasts about 15-20 minutes. The camera quality isn't as good as it seems. I'm pretty sure the other reviews are bots, because everything they said isn't true. It's an OK drone. It's your choice whether you want this or not, but i would try to find a better drone out there.

Review:So I love this little guy! I get comp battery for writing this review, but I would have written one anyway because I REALLY love this drone! I’m an avid drone flyer. I have 6 models, from the crummy Atom 1.0 mini drone all the way to the big dogs with 4K and GPS, and super cool features, and for $30 bucks, you absolutely will love this drone. If there are any negative reviews on this drone, it’s probably because they aren’t quite experienced just yet. But I’m having just as much fun flying this drone as I am my $400.00 ones. Just buy it! The only feature that I can’t figure out is the “trajectory flying,” there aren’t any instructions on YouTube or the manual on how to accomplish this feature??? Oh well. Also, you can fly it using your smart phone, but you’ll find it’s much easier and will get a better response from the r/c itself. Trust me on that! Also, description states that you will hear “beeping” from the remote when battery is low, and my remote doesn’t beep at all, but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The precision on the hovering and flying in general is EXTREMELY impressive for such a tiny drone. Great job 4DRC!! And thank you. Hope it holds up a good while...unlike the Atom 1.0!! Spend the extra $10 TRUST ME!! Oh, and the photo quality of the teeny tiny camera on it, is indicated on the pic of my little doggy. 01/22/20 approximately 1 week after purchasing I’ve already had to have a replacement drone sent. I still stand by most of my “previous” review, but for the same money you can get the Holy Stone HS300 and the video quality is much better. This little guy is a lot of fun and will fly the 10 minutes as described, but after a few uses, it’s response to the r/c is less and less accurate. Also, I’m afraid I just can’t get over the video and picture quality. Plus, the third party selling this left a card saying I would get an extra battery for an honest review, and they never sent it. I look forward to flying the Holy Stone drone once it comes in as their products are always reliable and never disappoint in quality and customer service. Still a great little drone to get your fix, but not quite what I’m wanting it for. Read more

Review:It flew once. The app doesn't work well and if you finally get it working smoothly for a few minutes, the drone does what it wants. It frequently just drops out of the sky. It can be controlled somewhat but not for long enough to figure out exactly how why or when. I read the manual thoroughly to avoid accidents. I put on the prop guards and got stoked. On flight three it fell and I lost one of the batteries. I can't return it, I waited months to get it as it got tied up in customs and after 3 flights have not used it again. Of all the disappointing purchases, this one may take the cake as the very worst. My grandma ordered this pistol as a child from a catalogue. She said it was like 25 cents and it had a pearl handle etc. etc. When it came it was cardboard. She was so disappointed. Technically, it was what it said, but it wasn't really because it didn't do what it should have. If you buy it you're stupid. Drones cost more than $40. I literally just wanted a mini drone for the dogs to chase because they like barking at birds and thought the camera and ratings were cool. Trust me. Do not buy! Read more

Review:I bought this mini quadcopter drone because I wanted to learn how to fly drones and needed one that wasn't too expensive. No need to crash a $400 drone when you can crash a $30 one. Pro's: - Very stable once calibrated. This mini drone will pretty much hover in one place once it's up in the air. - Rugged construction. I crashed this thing into walls, trees, and a basebal diamond backstop fence. It just kept on flying...until I list a propeller. - Extra propellers come in the box in case you lose or break one. Con's - Like most mini drones of this size you get about 6-8 minutes of flight time out of the battery. It comes with two batteries, but I would recommend getting a couple extra as the batteries take up to 60 minutes to re-charge, - It may be cheap and look like a toy, but I wouldn't recommend it for small children. The box suggests 14+ for good reason. The controls may be too complicated for some. In addition to purchasing the extra batteries, I would recomment getting the carrying case specifically made for the Holy Stone HS170. It fits the drone, contorller and batteries quite nicely, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MSGMNL8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Overall a great starter quadopter drone.

Review:Great the first few time it was flown. Held altitude, responded to joysticks well, but then the on-off button on the drone quit working. Wasn't dead batteries because you could press the button several times and it would come on; but then no matter how many presses, it would start. Read more

Review:Couldn't imagine a better drone for someone with no experience. Super convenient to be able to store the little guy in the controller and it's just plain cute. I was flying this thing within 5 minutes of installing a freshly charged battery. Read more
