This little guy is a lot of fun. I was surprised how responsive it was to the remote functions. And the kids had a blast in Free flight mode. Making in flip and spin was a simple hand gesture even my 7 year old could control it with ease. Great starter drone for the young ones to get started with. The dual battery charger is great to charge 2 batteries while you fly with the third.

Super fun to fly!

This little drone is simply a blast. Up and flying in less than a minute and super easy to learn. With multiple speeds its slow enough to fly around inside your house but fast enough to really whip around. Even my 5 year old was able to get it under control after only a few attempts.

The throw to fly is an awesome feature and works really well. Occasionally you might throw it too aggressively and it gets out of control, but that’s ok because..

It is very durable and you can crash it as much as you want. All four rotors are encased in protective shields so there’s no worry about breaking or hurting anyone.

Headless mode seems to drain the battery faster? But tha tmight be my imagination. The batteries last a good while and there are three of them so they are always ready to fly.

Overall this thing is just a super fun for anyone from 5 years old to 105 years old.

The cats hate it though.

Nice drone.

This is an easy to learn, easy to fly, and fun drone to play around with. It comes with three rechargeable batteries that each last just under ten minutes. They don't take long to recharge either so you'll be back flying real soon. This small drone (see photo next to my computer mouse) is also quite durable as I may or may not have hit the wall with it a couple times playing with the flip feature, but it takes right back off.
Overall, you can't compare this to more professional drones (such as the DJI Mavic's) because this is intended to be a toy, and it is exactly that. But for the price this is the perfect indoor toy drone! I was highly impressed with this drone right out of the box.

A great little drone for fun and learning piloting skills

Comments about the package contents

• Three batteries came with the kit. Each battery holds a 7-minute charge for a total of 21 minutes flying time. I would suggest being conservative about your flying time by assuming the batteries would run out a little more quickly.
• A 2-strand charging cable came with the kit as well. You can charge two batteries at a time with that cable. For me, I would want to buy one more of those 2-strand charging cables and one more battery so I can charge four batteries at a time.
• Batteries for the controller were not included. AAA batteries are required.
• The battery compartment is secured by a small screw as well as with a plastic latch. You'll want to be careful in handling the screw because it's easy to lose. Not that I would ever drop it on the carpet.
• The controller seems to have similar actions to other Holy Stone drones. For example, the left stick goes up and then back down to pair the controller with the drone. The left and right sticks go down and to the lower left hand corner to calibrate the drone.

Observations
• The small size of the drone means you don't have to register it with the FAA.
• One thing to be aware of is the drone does not have a camera. That's not a bad thing because you can practice your piloting as long as you keep the drone within sight. For me, that was an attractive feature for beginning drone pilots. Lack of a camera is one less thing for them to worry about when starting to learn how to pilot drones. Gaining piloting skills then prepares the drone pilot for the more expensive drones that come with cameras. The piloting skills will contribute to great photos and videos from the drone.
• The rotors are enclosed, so it if bumps into something, the rotors won't cause damage/injury nor will they be damaged by collisions.
• Because the rotors are enclosed, you can grab it out of mid-air with your bare hand.
• I would be cautious about flying this drone outdoors unless the air is very still. The drone's size may make it susceptible to gusts.

Attachments
• I attached of photo of the drone and controller on letter-size (8.5 x 11 inches) paper to give a sense of the size of the two items.
• The video is me launching the drone without the controller. It cuts on automatically when you toss it up. One time, I let it get stuck in our ceiling light. When I knocked it down, it started automatically and started flying again.

Overall, I would highly recommend this drone for beginners. I'm not the most advanced drone pilot, so I immediately saw the potential for using this to develop one's skills at home. The ability to do things with it without the controller also have potential for fun activities. Remember when hacky sacks were a thing? I can see how these kinds of drones, flying without controllers, can be part of fun games.
