This HS330 Mini Drone is a blast! It amazes me how much fun this drone is, and yet it is so affordable. Using the remote control gives you more control and is great for those who want to gain some experience in flying drones. While using the remote though, only one person at a time can play with it. However, by using the Sensor mode (Throw & Go) and spreading everyone out, a group of kids (or adults) can all have fun with it at the same time. This drone is so easy to use I don’t think you can go wrong with purchasing it. Just a couple of cautions:
1. As the battery drains, it starts becoming a little less predictable bouncing off the wall and ceiling. It is very durable though, and comes with a little repair kit (screwdriver, spare propellers). We had one propeller come off after having a mishap, but it snapped right back on with no damage! 2. An adult may want to double check to make sure the kids have the battery snapped in good. For some reason, the drone crashes to the ground if the battery falls off. Lol. 3. Some members of our family hear a high pitch when it is flying inside. Most of us do not hear that though since it is beyond our hearing capabilities.

We received this Holyton Mini Drone a few days ago and have had a lot of fun with it. My 10 year old daughter, who was the pilot in the posted video, has played with it non-stop. She loves the sensor mode that controls the drone hands free, and gets a kick out of the flips and spins she can get it to do. My wife and I have found this drone useful as a practice tool, as we also bought a larger video drone from Holy Stone that we use outside and the controls are very similar. I'm very impressed that they can sell this little toy at such an affordable price considering the amount of technology that must go into it.
So cool to fly.

This drone is a perfect size to fly around the house. My boys love getting it to do tricks. Hardly use the remote as it can be controlled by hands. Love that it comes with 3 batteries which seems to hold power for more than 15 minutes.
Fun drone

This is the best hand controlled drone I have tired plus it can be used with remote. It has better control than many drones I have used. It is easy for a beginner adult or child and is just lots of fun to fly. I have had a lot of fun with it and haven't even touched my other drones lately. Highly recommended.

You can’t really go with this drone. The controller is straightforward, and is not hard to operate even for smaller kids. The range is impressive for a drone that small, almost double what I was expecting. It comes with two different extra batteries and a double charger, so you can always have the batteries you’re not using being charged.
The sensor mode also works exactly as shown. The propellers have a perfectly made guard that makes it almost impossible to injure yourself. You can launch the drone through the thro me and go mode in seconds, launching it just as fast - or faster - than you would with a controller. The sensors are set at the perfect sensitivity level, and when they aren’t picking up and objects in the immediate vicinity (a few inches or so) then it hovers in place, unlike other small drones that tend to start drifting away as soon as they are left unattended.
Beyond that, it is practically indestructible, shockingly wind-resistant, and has a top speed far greater than the majority of drones in its price range. Incredible drone for just $25, I highly recommend.
