So I’m going to keep this short was excited to get this drone based on the reviews on this site. And the price point. However, this drone is a complete piece of!!! Reviews must all be fake. (paid for) because it did not fly well at all and I took it up about 30 feet and must of lost signal because it just flew away! Period. Drone battery fully charged control batteries brand new and followed all instructions before flight. Lost control didn’t respond to the home or return signal or the land button. It flew about a few hundred feet away into a tree and got tangled in the branches. I was not able to get it out the tree. Being it was very high up and very tangled in the branches. A complete waste of money and a very cheap product. Don’t waste your money or time. Very disappointed!2020 update! (Sorry about the late response) Company contacted me!! I was surprised and impressed. Spoke (email) with Abby she was very nice and professional. In short they actually cared enough to replace drone at no charge. I gave it a second go and it worked as expected. Most of all I’m thrilled that there are still companies out there that care and have integrity. 5 stars.

I’m a fun of drones, this one is lightweightl, easy to control. My iPhone Xs max fit perfect in the remote control. It includes an extra battery so you can enjoy it for about 20 min of flying. The quality of the photos are good and the app works great with iOS. Have a lot of functions and is simple to use.

I took this thing outdoors once and it worked fine, didn’t fly long because I had already been testing it out indoors. Took it out for a second flight and got it up to around 30 feet…then it developed a mind of its own and took off higher and further away. Wouldn’t respond to any of the controls and lost WiFi signal, and now it’s probaby clinging for its fragile little life from the top of a tree deep in the Neverland Forest. Save your money, folks!

This is my first drone, I’m a total beginner but I was able to record this video I took with its onboard camera as soon as I was ready to fly. I have crashed so many times I think this little thing is indestructible, one time I accidentally pushed the emergency shut off button on the transmitter and little snap fell from 10 feet high onto the tile floor and the camera which is attached to the battery door came loose and I thought I had finally broken this marvel, I put it back together and it started flying again! Two of the trim cups covering the motors got lost in crashes. One of the prop guards broke but now I’m more confident flying this thing without them and now I look at my scratched up drone and the more scratched the more I love it, this thing is tough. I’m flying it better every time I fly it, by the way I clocked the flight time of the batteries and when it landed automatically it was shy of the 10 minutes (9:50’s or so) and it still comunicated with my iPhone to download video to my photos thru the air. Awesome!

It is easy to control, and the second battery included gives you a longer flying time. It is also durable, I have had a some crashes but nothing have broken yet.My kid loves it.

I’ve never flown a drone before this one, so I can not compare it to any others. The drone was very inexpensive compared to some of the others out there, but had good reviews so I went with it. I can now say I am very pleased with it as my first drone and have already had a lot of fun with it. Getting the drone going is pretty easy as long as you follow the instructions. One interesting thing I saw is that the reviews for the android version of the app are pretty poor, but I’ve had no problem with the app. I suspect since there is such a wide variety of android devices out there, that some just don’t work quite as well with it. (perhaps differing qualities of wifi chipsets or something of that nature?)
If you want to look at the google play store reviews yourself, look up snaptain era. (there’s another snaptain something or other on there too — not sure why there are two) Another thing to keep in mind — the screenshots for the app show it in chinese only. Let me assure you that it is absolutely not all in chinese — and devs if you read this, I’d highly recommend uploading some english UI pictures as well. =) (even had a cute little tutorial video for getting started that is in english)I did find that the camera often would lose real time viewing — but I was flying it based off my own eyes rather than looking through the screen. It does seem to have a habit of “floating” to one side instead of hovering tightly in place, but I don’t know how much of that might be related to my own quality of attaching the blade protectors and such. (ie maybe they’re out of balance) And it’s not particularly bad, just something to compensate for.
The battery life is only about 7-9 minutes I would say — so keep that in mind. (i did not the first time flying it) It does come with a second battery. Also if you write a review like I’m doing here — you can get a free accessory. either an extra 2 batteries, a micro sd card, or an action camera. Pretty cool that they do that. (and honestly I’m bad about writing reviews so good incentive)Overall I love the functionality of the drone, the app, and the little controller that comes with it. It has some minor isms here and there but I expected that at the price point! And none of the issues have stopped me from enjoying it.On an amusing note, I did manage to run it out of batteries while it was over my roof and had to fish it out of the gutter. =)

This drone is a great product, easy to set up and use. I really enjoy flying it… only draw backs are that when flying the drone it sometimes veers off course, but you can fix that with the clipping button. When clipping that means you can adjust which direction the drone goes. Just a heads up clipping can distract the flyer and may result in crashing. One other thing is that the batteries only last ten to fifteen minutes before you have to charge them for about an hour. Charging the batteries is necessary of course, just don’t be surprised when your drone runs out of juice in the middle of a flight. You then would have to land it on the ground before it falls.
Overall, it flies great and is a good gift for kids even as young as 12, if responsible. I’m a twelve year old girl and got this product for Christmas. I could fly it the first day and loved it. I would totally recommend this as a great present whether it be for a birthday or Christmas. Thanks for reading and happy shopping!

Great product! I bought this drone for my young son, who all but mastered it the first time out. The attached video is from our first time flying, and despite the rookie pilots flying the drone, it is clear and steady. The drone is good quality and really easy to fly. I may have to buy one for myself.
