I bought this as a Christmas present for my ten year old son. Christmas came early this year so we spent the day playing with it, or maybe I should say about an hour and a half. I bought four extra batteries so we have a total of five. The charge on the battery lasts about 15 minutes which drops to less than ten if you're recording video the whole time. It took less than five minutes to learn how to control on a breezy day. You'll definitely want to have a wide open area when you're first learning it though. Be sure to set the trims properly for the most enjoyment when flying. He absolutely enjoyed flying the thing and taking video....even more-so than his new Redcat Racing Blackout XTE RC truck. He's already talking about upgrading to a better drone, but this one is great for learning.
Pros:
-Easy enough for a ten year old to learn in under five minutes.
-Decent video, not the best quality but still enjoyable to watch.
-Somewhat durable, survived a few crash landings.
-Comes with two spare blades.
A few cons to note:
-The battery door is flimsy and keeps wanting to open.
-We lost one of the green covers for the light. But it survive a few crash landings from a height of about fifteen feet. A few spares should be thrown in with the packaging.
All in all he's happy, so I'm happy.

Can't be beat for a bargain deal an a ton of fun!
WOW! I have has several small remote control helicopters! that cost as much as $40-$50. but this little Quad blows them away. I have never had so much fun with a flying R.C. as I have with this! the instructions and remote are easy to learn. after I figured out that the most important step is to turn on the drone and remote with the drone sitting on the most level surface possible "It has a self calibrating and gyroscope." By my third flight it felt as if I had almost mastered the controls, The average battery ran from 7.5 minutes on the first flight using the video capture the whole time. to over 10 minutes only taking a few snap shots. The camera is mounted on the battery door and is done so in such a way that with the removal of a few screws and simply unplugging the lead you could fly without the extra weight of the camera if wanted. The trick mode is awesome, bump the trick button and flip the control stick in any direction and the Quadrcopter will do a barrel roll/360 degree flip in that/any direction. before ordering I did lots of research and for my first this has far exceeded my expectations especially for the price. when I ordered I also ordered a repair kit for all the landing gear, bumper gear. props. motors, and gearboxes for less than $10.00, I also ordered a 4-battery and charger kit. for less than $18.00 so for less than $80.00 I have an awesome toy great for an afternoon of entertainment! also was able to install a video player through the Google App store and plug the micro S.D. card directly into my smart phone and watch the video instantly in the field !!
