4DRC Mini Drone for Kids Hand Operated RC Quadcopter with 3 Batteries Longer Flight Time, Altitude Hold, Headless Mode, Throwing GO, 3D Flip and 3 Speed Modes Aeroplane for Beginners, Blue

lovely first drone
lovely mini drone, i have used it indoors and i am well impressed as drone has protection around the blades and mi little one can’t damage them that easy, keeping his own height and if you manage to rectify and fix balance on the drone , is perfect first drone , specially that is gesture controlled ,easy to flight after the instruction was read carefully .speed can be regulated , the battery life is fine and on top of it comes with 2 extra batteries , so alot better then most mini drones.Please read all instructions carefully before using it, it will help you a lot.

Cheap but awesome value. No camera. No GPS. No FPV.
Because this drone has no camera, and is well under 250 grams in liftoff weight it qualifies for no CAA requirements for either pilot ID or operator ID. Also, we can reasonably suspect that marketing it as a “toy” gets it through some other legal loopholes as well.I bought this as a trainer from which to graduate from to a slightly larger drone, with a camera, which will require me to register for Operator ID. But this one can be flown indoors, space permitting. It has most of the same functions and control operations (less the camera) as the more sophisticated drones, but without the GPS it doesn’t stay motionless, (it kinda drifts) but it has robust cages around the props making it safer for flying indoors.With this drone I can practice flying, by line of sight, avoiding obstacles, controlling in opposing direction, turning, and reaction. And if I break it, the cost won’t break me.The package gives you 3 batteries, a decent case, (although I wouldn’t stuff into any other baggage) a charging lead which incorporates overcharge protection, and a pack of spare props.Limitations:*Don’t expect this toy to have a long range, as in the distance you can fly it away from your controller, and you don’t have a very long flight time;*Battery flight time is rather less than is expected by the user instructions;*The controller requires 3 AAA batteries from which you don’t get that many flights before the controller red light starts flashing. I think I only got 15, maybe 17 flights (I don’t know because I didn’t count) before needing new controller batteries.*Probably not able to cope with any kind of outdoor wind, although I have yet to try it outside.In summary, when I’ve finished with this “toy”, and have my CAA Pilot and Operator ID, I have a young nephew to whom I could offer it.Additional: 02/01/25.The instructions, or user manual doesn’t give any advice on how much flight-time a fully charged battery will give you, but the Amazon listing says you can get 20 to 27 minutes of flight which is pushing optimism somewhat beyond reality, I think. That’s “flight”, not “flightS” per fully charged battery. But actually, one charged battery will give you about 8 max or less depending on how hard you work it. So 3 fully charged batteries will actually only give you a combined flying time of less than 25 minutes. That may improve slightly after the batteries have been discharged and recharged a few times although I’m not seeing evidence of that. I’ve now timed a couple of flights that lasted around 7:15. So 10 minutes really is unrealistic.*Battery recharge takes up to an hour depending on the charger.I’ve seen other reviews saying that control response is poor. Well, maybe, but what were you expecting?I’ve also seen another review reporting that all the propellers snapped after only a few flights. I had a prop come off its shaft as a result of a rather abrupt collision, but it went back on without a problem. So what was the pilot doing with it?Having made a lot of less than positive points about this drone, I will say that it’s well worth waiting to see if it (or anything very similar) comes up on a special offer. If you can get one of these for say £25 or less, then you’ll have a real bargain. I got my larger drone on Black Friday deal, less than half price.Just don’t expect too much. I mean, c’mon, only ten or so years ago these things were virtually unheard of.

Great for a first drone, but poor control response
This drone is great for the first-time, young user, but it is not great at responding to the remote.The drone will go up down but moving left, right, forward and back it appears to have issues, so teaching your child to control the drone with this device is not possible.We have issues with the drone flipping on its own and a lot of random movements on its own and this is after calibrating the drone several times.One of the batteries supplied with the drone does not work and that is after it has been fully charged up, but will not supply power to the drone.All in all its 3 stars as the little lad loves the drone, but I think we will seek a better one next time

Very good indoor Drone.
It’s a very good drone for flying about indoors. Good value considering it comes with 3 batteries and a charger. Use the cable that comes with the drone as it has a built-in cutoff, unlike an ordinary cable. It’s easy to use and fun. Very well presented, in a nice carry case that holds all the bits and pieces. The batteries charge in about an hour which is convenient but I’ll get back to you about how long they last as batteries don’t give their full potential until they’ve been charged half a dozen times.
