I am giving this a 4-star review because it was easy to assemble and the directions are easy. I also like that it comes with an extra set of blades.

As a new drone user, I wish it had a slower speed to give you a chance to get it stabilized. It doesn't stay still if there is the slightest breeze. I can't keep it still enough to get a photo. This was inexpensive so if I break it, I am not out too much money. However, it's the best drone to learn on.

I loved it portable easy to carry anywhere good product worthy and value for money.
If you're on the lookout for a beginner-friendly drone or a gift for children, this drone is an excellent choice. It stands out for its ease of use and compact design, making it easy to store and transport. Flying this drone is straightforward, even for those who are new to drones, and the controls are intuitive and responsive.

One of the most significant aspects to consider is the battery life. For its price range, the battery duration is quite satisfactory, offering ample flying time to enjoy before needing a recharge. However, keep in mind that, like most drones in this category, it is susceptible to drifting on windy days, which can impact stability and control.

Despite this minor downside, I highly recommend this drone for beginners and as a gift for children. Its user-friendly nature and compact size make it a delightful and practical choice for new drone enthusiasts.

Value for money, nice product, I just love this, quality is also good,

Does the job! Small and fast drone

I got this drone because I wanted something I can fly indoors. I started with a bigger drone, but it was not precise enough to fly indoors. This drone is tiny and very accurate. It is very easy to fly indoors, and in fact I've been flying it all over the house. I had a good impression of Syma already because I owned a Syma RC helicopter a while back, and it was impressively easy to fly. This drone is even better.

The battery doesn't last long, about 5 minutes worth of flight time. But it is a fun 5 minutes. You'll get the thing back on the charger and can't wait for the next flight. The manual says it takes 70 minutes to charge, but it doesn't seem to take that long. Maybe 30 or 45 minutes? I haven't timed it, but it's not super long. It's pretty average for a drone. Most "toy" drones take 45 minutes or an hour to charge for 5-7 minutes of flight time.

My first flight did not go well. The drone was not calibrated to the controller to hover in place, and was drifting fast to the left and forward, but the controller can be calibrated to fix that. Better still, it remembers the calibration even when powered off. So once I got it calibrated, which took me a few flights and crashes, then it remembered the calibration setting, and I haven't had to adjust it since. This is great news! Now I just turn it on, take off, and it hovers happily in place. It is very easy to fly. I can land it anywhere I want, pretty much. The controller has two different sensitivity settings, and the low sensitivity is perfect for indoors. However, the drone can also be flown outdoors! I was skeptical about this, since it's so light and easily blown about by the wind, but at the high sensitivity setting on the controller, the drone easily has enough power to compensate for light winds. I wouldn't try it in strong wind, but light breezes are no problem.

I have actually taken to flying it outdoors more than indoors lately, because it is maneuverable, fast, and stable. I almost lost it on one outdoor flight. I took it really far, and I finally decided to just pull it down from the sky where it was, because it was almost out of sight behind some trees. I ended up crashing it on the roof of a tall building. It hit the roof pretty hard, bounced (yes, bounced!), and took to the air again. I continued cutting power because I didn't know which way it was oriented, and the drone vanished from view somewhere near the building. It found it after about 10 minutes of searching. It had crash landed upside down in the grass about 20 feet from the roof. There was some dirt on the blades, but no other visible damage. I wiped the dirt off with my fingers, powered it up again and the drone was happily back to the air. A+ for crash resistance.

Someone commented that the drone has backward lighting compared to the normal. This drone has red lights in front and green lights in back, which is opposite compared to other drones. That can take some getting used to. The drone has a trick mode and can do flips. It's pretty fun.

Overall, this easily gets 5 stars. Fantastic flying experience.
