Brilliant First Drone
my first drone and although there is lots to learn from box to flying is very quick – the controls are easy and the flight is suprisingly stable. really enjoying it so far and would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking at getting there first drone.
Great starter Drone
Great starter drone controls laid out well on controller also a card you can attach to controller to help u know what button does what. This package comes with 2 batteries, spare blades , screwdriver. The drone is easy to fly soon got used to it , it videos flight direct to your phone via WiFi connection, also takes pictures , can do lots of extra stuff when flying. I highly recommend this drone.
Excellent!
Customer service were absolutely brilliant at dealing with an issue I had with the drone. They were exceptionally kind and efficient and we’re very happy with the product. It’s brilliant, as was the price and delivery. No complaints at all thank you.
Great little drone
Beginner to drones but this is an amazing user friendly starter! Starting to pick up the controls and I’m enjoying every second, wifi connected easily and picture quality is actually surprisingly good. Would recommend buying if you’re new to the drone scene or would like something nimble that’s not going to cost anything unreasonable!
Great buy: BEGINNERS only!
Does the job, at this price range, it can fly well enough: about 10-15 mins per cell. Bit shaky and really low quality camera, but again does the job and flys good enough: If you are a beginner and wanna try out dron-ing you should go for it!
Great Starter Drone
Bought for Christmas for my son. Works great and he loves doing using the flip feature. The 2nd battery is very useful for that extra flight time. We have flown the drone 4 times now, the 1st three time were great and my 8 year old son is now feeling confident with the controls. On the 4th time we took it out there was a little wind which was too strong for the drone to be controlled. All in all a great little drone but struggles if there is wind.
Excellent drone super Customer service
Turned this on followed the instructions and does not work properly brought well before Christmas and because of this looks like I’m unable to return or replace if there is someone from the company reads this please reach out…
Update: the company reached out and corrected the issue honestly the customer service I was given after this issue was 10/10 and so helpful.
in my experience companies could learn a thing or 2 from you,
Honestly thank you for such a speedy resolution all the best for 2024
This represents great value for money. It’s easy enough for kids to control, there’s a lot of tech packed in for price and whilst the camera quality isn’t gonna win any awards it’s absolutely fine for playing around and having a bit of fun. Be careful when it’s windy but in calm conditions it’s fine outdoors.
We liked the neatness and size which makes it easy to pack away, plus enjoyable and easy to use in the right space..
Didn’t like how quickly the battery goes..
I have had the drone for over a month now and been out when I can December 21/January 22.
I had spent some time looking for a few features that I absolutely wanted for about a hundered pounds.
I wanted GPS and to be able to easily buy spares and have a decent battery life and be under the 250gms C0 category and a camera that was at least 1080p.
This had all that and a few things more but because it’s a ‘cheap’ drone, I know it would be a bit rough around the edges.
So, you must read the manual and follow the start up procedure, the calibrations. It does not take long to set up the compass and gyro and then a little wait for the GPS to lock, use an app to tell you if it’s safe to fly weather wise.
The GPS is vital if you want to prevent fly aways and I recommend that you make sure that the app (HS GPS V1) from the app stores has the correct locations for both the controller (home, a blue dot) and the drone (blue arrow shape). If not then you can fly it but don’t use the auto return to home as it will fly off.
The drone is not that stable even in light winds and will drift so a bit of stability trimming is needed at the start but that’s easy.
Because it’s a little unstable keeping position then do not fly it in a small back garden unless you are great friends with your neighbours.
Range, the video on the phone is ok but had a little lag that is noticeable and after about 80 meters out it will struggle to keep the video playing but if you have an SD card (max 32gb)(get a very good fast one not a cheapy) then it records fine. If you do have the SD card then it will record and take pictures even if the video signal is interrupted.
The batteries do last about 15 mins each which is great.
The movable camera is also great but there is no image stabilization so it will look a little shaky especially when descending.
There is no manual exposure, settings is only auto so it will keep adjusting as the light levels change that can be annoying.
As for flying, its a drone you have to ‘fly’ and keep it positioned rather then just leave it there and it will still be there when you look back up due to the slight drift. I’m still learning so this might just be me.
For me I found the controller ok but it seems that moving the sticks very slowly from the centre points can cause a small drift in the opposite direction at first or a slight drift to one side as you move forward.
If you are just starting out like I was then make sure the settings in the app dont allow the drone to go too far, use the beginner mode and set it to low speed and don’t go too high at first. Soft grass is your friend.
As for the controller, hold it up facing the drone so the antennas get the best field of view.
I tried all the mode configurations for the sticks but decided to stick with the most common one which is ‘mode 2’ though it allows mode 1 and mode 3 as well.
I haven’t used the track and route as I don’t trust the GPS fully and I want to learn to control the drone myself.
An interesting choice is to turn off the GPS, this allows you to fly indoors (not recommended without propellor guards and it takes the weight over 250gms) and without GPS holding the position, in this mode Atti, you really have to be able to fly it. Great for training but a bit scary as letting go of the controls will not stop its flight like GPS mode.
Overall I like it as you have to be in control of it all the time, great for training and getting familure with the controls when things start to go wrong.
Well it took a bit of setting up with pairing the remote to the drone, then calibrating the drone, then awaiting the drone to find the GPS. Then finding a phone to download the app, then logging onto the drone wireless and finally trying to figure out how to get the damn thing to unlock and fly.. But..
What kind of drone at this price has an HD camera, app support, GPS, auto take off and landing, follow me mode, photo and video recording etc etc. My 10yr old son is not the most hand eye coordinated lad, but the thing takes off on its own and hovers at about 5 feet, lands on its own, slowly and the rest was him just getting used to the controls and trying to remember to look at the screen some of the time. What ever you do, DO NOT fly this indoors, its not that kind of thing, I would almost call it semi professional.
As for the range, no idea, but I’ve locked the controls to beginner (others also available as pre-sets) with a 30m height range and 50m distance range, and trust me, its enough for him to fly over the house and over his school and see all the houses for streets and streets. He’s having loads of fun.
I have also told him to make sure he has line of site to it, so this may be why we’ve experienced no communication issues at all and its always done as its told.
Quality is pretty good as well, I tried it in the house and hit the lounge wall and nearly scalped the cat after another crash (hence don’t fly inside, its not an inside toy) with no damage and if we did damage the blades there’s even spare blades included.
All in all pretty good.
Writing this review to get another freebie battery, but that’s the best thing, your honest about the product and they will send you another battery. Best Christmas present this year for my So
I love this drone. It’s brilliant and so easy to use. Our first flight was on a very windy day. The drone took off and hovered around a metre above the ground. Being in an open field I was confident in testing it’s maneuverability – nothing to crash into. But once it takes off and settles into its position there are no concerns. It flies well and you can thrash it around the place, let go of the controls and it will easily stop and hover. With the device having built in GPS you can be confident that the wind won’t take it away and when you press the home button, or the battery gets low, it will just fly straight back to where it took off from; amazing. The battery lasted well too. I wasted some juice getting used to it, setting it up, starting the rotors a few times and calibrating it, but it gave at least 15 minutes of flying.
Its 1080p camera is good for the job although I couldn’t get it to take photos while filming – you have to stop the video if you want some snaps. It’s not the best of cameras but it’s very good for the money. It’s wide angle lens can be off-putting although you get used to it and the range from the phone to the drone was quite something. I could still capture images and see the live drone view at all times without drop outs.
This really is a very good device. It’s robust, small enough to be convenient and a smart device. While suitable for beginners it had so much functionality and features that anyone would enjoy using it.
I really do recommend this.
This is the first Drone I’ve owned and I wanted to see if it was as much fun to fly as it looks when I’ve been watching YouTube, but I didn’t want to spend a great amount of money just in case it wasn’t for me. Now I have flown it a few times I’m really pleased with it. It flies really well and is quite stable when in hover mode. The camera is clear with good colour balance and should be good for the odd holiday photo or video, and though the camera is not on a gimble, so the drone only films forward, I still managed a full circle “point of intrest” video shot which turned out clear and smooth. The battery lasts about 18mins and gives a warning when it’s running low on power, but it still had enough to bring the drone into land back at its take off point. Setting up the drone from new was easy after downloading the app from the internet, and once the drone and controller batteries where fully charged it was only a few minutes to link the drone to my mobile phone so that I had a full camera display on my phone and a veiw forward from the drone. The phone fits into a device that clamps the phone securely to the controller. The drone and the controller fold down to a size that will fit into most coat pockets, so getting to a safe place to fly from doesn’t involve carrying any extra bags, though both would not take up much space in a backpack if you’re out for the day.
In summary, I think this is a great drone to start learning the basics with, and for getting to try out some of the camera’s potential. The price point is good and for the money, I think its great value. With features that I’ve seen on drones costing twice as much. I would say for children in their early teens this drone would make an ideal present, and for older people (like me) who want to try out a new hobby without spending a fortune, its a great way to get a feel for the potential pleasures, with many of the features of drones costing many times more on a good beginners to intermediate drone.
I’ll be happy to recommend this to anyone wanting to get into drone flying.
This is a great little drone and falls just inside the legislation of 250g that would require a licence (although I did mine anyway for the sake of 9). It takes a little bit of setting up to get the WiFi on the drone to recognise the phone but that may just be me and my inexperience pairing them. The instructions on the app are easy to follow and controls are simple to get to grips with after a few flights. Batteries last about 10-12 minutes so I bought 2 more which gives a decent about of play time. I also bought a case for it to keep it safe on our travels. It has an occasional glitch with the camera when it goes out of range and comes back in again. The way point plotting works well, as does the follow me but make sure it’s high enough as it has no obstacle avoidance so will run into trees if they are in it’s flight path. I only did this once and it survived the branch to branch crash to the floor from about 30 meters (maybe I was just lucky but it was undamaged). The other thing I was really impressed with was the return to home feature. This is brilliant and works to within about 3 feet from where it took off. Camera and video quality is quite good too for it’s size and the fact you can move it up and down for different views is handy. The app works well for a controlled take off / landing / return to home etc. For the price, this is an excellent little bit of kit and a really great introduction into drones and flying with enough features to keep it interesting. I would recommend this to a new or amateur flyer to play with before spending big bucks on a bigger (more expensive) drone.
