I’ve had this little drone for about a week and I’m impressed so far. I’m not a beginner but this would be a great first drone to learn the basics. Make sure and read through the manual because it has lots of features that are pretty fun to play around with. It is easy to read and understand. It doesn’t come with a carrying case but I don’t feel like I need one as everything fits nicely in the foam cutouts in the box and is well protected. The drone is very light, but the prop arms snap into place well and seem sturdy. I like that it comes with removable prop guards to use indoors safely. It’s not fast, but that’s good for a beginner. There are 3 different speeds to choose from but I just fly on the 3rd speed and it’s still only goes 5 miles an hour or so. The optical flow works well and keeps the drone in place even in moderate wind if you are flying over grass or a field. This mode does poorly over blacktop or water, but you can turn off the optical flow when needed. It won’t hover in place by itself when turned off. Also remember, when the optical flow mode is on it won’t fly over 30 feet high or so because the sensor can’t detect the ground higher than that. The two batteries last around 10 minutes each which goes pretty fast when you’re having fun. I was pretty blown away by the live WiFi fpv. I recommend getting away from houses with WiFi internet to get the best signal. I had some old google cardboard type virtual reality goggles sitting around so I went to a baseball field and tried to fly it fpv style. I’ve never had good luck with WiFi drones and fpv before but this one is actually pretty good. The field of view is good and the image is clear with very minimal lag! I don’t know if I just got lucky or what but on one run I was able to get out to 140 yards until the video cut out! It won’t be that good in a city back yard I’m sure. I included a video of a one of my flights and it shows exactly what I was seeing through the goggles. Not bad! I have an iPhone se 2nd generation and haven’t had any issues with connecting through the app. You can do everything through the app including Pulling up a virtual controller that actually works pretty well! I almost felt like I didn’t need the physical controller. The controller that comes with it is nice, although it’s battery is small but rechargeable so I just charge it when I charge my drone batteries and it always lasts through the session. The voice command works ok. When I give command it flies in that direction for about six feet then hovers in place until the next command. Sometimes it has a hard time hearing my command and just hovers but it’s fun to play around with. I also tried the “draw a path” mode and was surprised it actually works! You just draw a path on the screen and the drone follows it. I don’t know how they programmed that. You can’t scale it up so I’d say you’re limited to about a 20 foot radius with that function, but it’s still fun! I did some zigzags and spirals and the drone flew the patterns. I’ve flown at night a few times and it is very visible and easy to keep orientation. You can turn the floodlight in the front on or off, but it was never bright enough to actually see anything well on the fpv screen in the dark. It has a slot for a mini as card but I like the video to record directly to my phone and haven’t used it. All in all it does what it’s advertised to do for a good price and that’s Worth 5 stars from me!
Hs161 review

The Hs 161 is an impressive little drone. It is the only drone that comes to mind with so many features, with such a good price. It has a good quality, adjustable camera, multiple speeds, good range, and an amazing optical flow sensor giving the experience of a gps drone for a much lower price. The speed on optical flow mode isn’t very fast, but if you want speed you can easily turn off the mode with one button, and if you are flying inside, this hardly matters at all. Another feature included is the propeller guards. This is also wonderful for inside because a little bump won’t scratch a wall, or break a propeller. The drone is very steady when trying to take pictures and videos. This drone also has a flashlight and emergency USB port that will charge your phone plenty for a phone call. But one of my favorite things are the batteries. Each small battery will allow the drone to fly for about ten minutes, but the charging is the best part of them. They use Micro USB cables, which are very common. Lastly, the best feature is the size, which is small even unfolded, but when you fold it in, it can easily fit inside of a pocket, making it very portable and great for travel. Features aside, this drone is also very easy to fly making it great for beginners, kids, and hobbyists for a budgeted entry level price.
Good drone for beginner.

Very easy to play with, one key taking off and one key landing, no more nervous. It’s very tiny when it folded, I can put it in my backpacks, the most funny part is it can charge my phone as it has a USB port, I know the drone battery is quite small but it extend the iPhone for about 1 hour use, just in case.

Light weight but durable, easy to fly, easy to control, so much fun with the kids. Comes with two batterys, one battery able fly for 10 minutes. It makes my kid (6 years old) run a lots instead of me running. :)
