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

Great little drone. No issues and 8 year old son got the hang of it immediately. Sad to say faster than me and I used to fly RC aircraft in my younger days! Make sure you read the manual and pay attention to the self calibration function and you should have no issues. Battery life is ok considering the size. Tempted to buy another drone for spares and batteries. Comes with spare props and tools. I like the design. The rotors are well protected. The collision avoidance works well but not in a small room. It will play drone tennis if the room is too small as it will just go from wallto wall. Auto take off and land is a great function. Self lands if the battery gets too low. Love it. Only one issue, it doesn't seem to have a failsafe, so if the transmitter signal is lost it keeps flying. Need to test this more but not really willing to do so outside....

So good, I got myself one. My 7 year old lad loves it, mastered the tricks and it really is a great little drone, I’m 41 and had to buy another one for myself so much fun for kids and big kids!

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.

I don't know if this one I recieved is just defective cos the other reviews seemed pretty good for the price but here goes . Got my boy this for Christmas he was so excited to play with it. We first set it up in the house and before even touching anything this thing just shot off couldn't turn it off or anything ... I was running round the house with the brush trying to catch the thing like a possessed fairy.. Anyhow after catching it I figured oh maybe it's something to do with the battery or because it was I door I noticed what seemed to be an auto land button on the controller I thought hmm maybe it can only be used outside ..... wooooaaahhhh I was wrong anyway the excitement in my boys face as we placed it outside and it didn't take off on its own he was thrilled he was like hey dad I got this .... next minute woooshhh off it goes... next minute my boys like dad it's not doing what I say so I grab the remote thinking he's not doing it right and next thing you know it it isn't doing anything you direct it to do ... all it's doing is going up and down on its own ... then like before whoosh off it goes into the sky ... I'm franticly pressing all the buttons trying to shut it off and luckily I pressed something right cos it starts falling out the sky ... now I'm thinking s@@@ what if it hits someone so I'm there franticly pressing buttons again but before you know it's it's disappeared 3 streets over .... after an hour of searching we found it and surprisingly not a scratch on it so 10/10 for resilience when it comes to crashing .... however I think no matter what we do it just doesn't respond to the controls at all and just has a life on its own ... very disappointed 😞

It was a very successful Xmas present for a 12yr old Putting it to gather was not a problem Instructions in Chinese English takes a little time Hut the end result was good

My 11 year old loves this drone. It flies well inside & out once controls have been mastered. You can also set up to video from drone which is fun. Battery doesn’t last long but there is a spare one. Unfortunately charging wire has snapped but we have a spare usb micro wire we can use instead. The propellers also break easily and are fiddly to replace. It does come with spares but the spare one has also now broken. I have just ordered more spares from their website at a cost of £6.44. I think they should include more spares in the box if they break so easily. Overall a great success for a beginner but probably not made to last!

Prijs is precies wat je er van mag verwachten, mijn dochter heeft er veel plezier van en vind het super leuk. Het is geen drone voor professionals

Ottimo per i bambini è un buon drone unica pecca la durata delle batterie ma in alternativa c'è ne sono tre quindi sono soddisfatto!

Mon petit-fils a reçu ce drone pour ses 6 ans. Depuis il s’amuse comme un fou. Le matériel a l’air costaud surtout quand un enfant l’envoie contre des fenêtres ou des meubles, volontairement. Ce petit drone est livré avec 3 batteries et se rechargent via usb-c, donc il faut prévoir un chargeur ou un pc. 4 hélices de rechange font partie du package ainsi qu’un tout petit câble usb-c/ usb-c. Une trousse de transport pour protéger ce petit bijou. On verra dans le temps si ce jouet est solide ou non. Si je fais un nouveau commentaire, c’est que mon petit-fils m’a appelé: «Papy, mon drone est cassé, j’en veux un autre, papy, s’il te plaît, je veux un autre… » Aaaah les moutards qu’est ce qu’on les aime 😂😂😂😇 Étonnant! Ce petit drone est toujours entier! Cela fait 15 jours qu’il fait subir à toute sa famille: des raz-mottes, différentes cabrioles qui finissent souvent par un crash, … Seul petit reproche, les batteries ne tiennent pas très longtemps et demandent de la part de l’enfant une certaine discipline au rechargement. Espérons qu’il tienne le coups encore très longtemps, je ne suis pas «crésus »!!🤣🤣🤣 vu le nombre de petits enfants ( 7 au total) 🥹🥹😇😇

Richtig gute Drohne. Sie lässt sich sehr gut steuern und durch den automatische Start-/Landeknopf bekommen das auch Anfänger gut hin. Durch die kompakte Größe fliegt sie auch innerhalb der Wohnung ohne das man Angst hat das die Kinder gleich etwas kaputt fliegen, etwas Übung und die Anleitung braucht man aber, dann klappt es auch mit Loopings und macht richtig viel spaß!

Great for kids
