SIMREX X500 mini Drone Optical Flow Positioning RC Quadcopter with 720P HD Camera Altitude Hold Headless Mode, Foldable FPV Drones WiFi Live Video 3D Flips Easy Fly Steady for Learning Gray

* Size
The drone is smaller than expected, fits in the palm of my hand. As I’ll mainly be flying the drone indoors I see this as a positive as it gives more space to manoeuvre around without hitting anything.* Price
Luckily I managed to get the drone for a discount due to either a Black Friday deal or a Prime Lightning deal (not sure which one it was). Even a full price the drone is worth the value given some of the advanced features it has.* Battery life
The drone battery charges via a USB cable so you can use any USB plug you have laying around to charge this. Each flight last around 10 mins before the battery need a recharge. For a done this small I wouldn't expect a longer battery life.
The controller take 3 AAA batteries which have lasted a long time. I've been using the drone for a week with heavy usage and have yet to drain the batteries on the controller.* Control and flight
This is an area where this drone really excels! The controls on the drone are extremely easy to master even for an newbie. The controller has a button which takes the drop up a few feet and keeps it hovering there until you start to control it. There is a one button landing mode which is helpful.
Moving the drone is very intuitive, however I would suggest starting off using the controls lightly at first as the drone is a lot speedier than I though it could be.* iPhone app and camera
The downloaded the iPhone app and was able to sync to the drone very easily. The app shows the camera feed from the drone. It's as clear as can be for a 720p camera. Something you can use to enhance family videos. However it's not a feature I see myself using and this will be used for flying around for fun.* Miscellaneous
The done folds away and it very compact. The drone comes with 4 propeller guards which helps protect them when it crashed into a wall. It also comes with spare pair of propellers.
The build quality is great for the price, its hit the wall a few times on my first few flights and surprisingly the drone and propellers (I hadn't installed the guards at first) where still in tact without a dent.

I got this for my Nephew who wanted his first drone. It is compact especially when packed away, and is very lightweight. The product was delivered on time and was packaged well, controller, USB charging cable, propeller protector, additional propellers and instruction manual. It is an easy to fly drone with good altitude hold and responds to changes.Flight time is is not the longest but does not take long to charge. The remote control is nice and sleek. You can calibrate the drone easily with one click, change speed and attach phone while recording.I would recommend this drone as a good starter.

The media could not be loaded.  Awesome drone lots of fun, great for beginners. First time flying drone.as a beginner I was a little nervous flying the drone. I made sure I read all of the instructions first, I recommend you do this. Took a little getting use to, drone is very light, but still very sturdy and robust.Once I figured out the trim flying the drone was easier to increase the speed up one.The video quality is good and works well.Would recommend if it's your first time flying a drone, make sure you have plenty of space around you, stay away from obstacles, try to go out on a day when its not windy, you well have lots of fun. This is well worth the money, me and the boys love it, highly recommend 👌I tried it indoors and it was accurate and stable, didn't try outside.

Very compact design and easy to handle, good quality technology as it does exactly what it says on the box . I bought it for my teenager son as he is fascinated to operate flying objects and he is very pleased with the product and would recommend it to friends, overall this is a fun drone, I do feel it is a good drone for beginners, response from RC to the drone is instant, great value for money.

This is a great little gadget for both adults and teens. It’s actually so much fun to use and easy to set up, took a few tried to get the hang of flying it but once you do, it’s hard to stop.It’s light and compact so can be taken with you travelling.

Bought this during Black Fridays as a gift for Xmas and battery charged 3 times and will no longer charge

Pros:It's very easy to fly and has good hover and land modes which work at a click of a button on the remote. The controls are easy to use and the pairing it quick.I like the battery comes in its own case and slides into the drone very easily.It's easy to charge via the USB cable that plugs into the battery case.Folds away very neatly and has a compact design.Also includes some spare props and 4 prop guards, which is great.Cons:Would have been nice to include a carry case of some sort.Only 1 battery.720p resolution is not great, but considering the cost its acceptable.Overall this is a great compact (about hand size) starter drone for someone looking to get into flying drones.

Does anybody know how to connect this drone to the phone...its keeps saying Internet not available also qr code app says unavailable

Bought this for my 3 year old who loves to destroy drones this one has surprisingly lasted over the last 5. This drone is easy to fly and very easy to understand. Although my 3-year-old isn't the best at flying the drone he quickly figured out how to use it and crashes less now. The camera on the drone is decent, you won't be getting some amazing quality but it works for the price point and the drone feels well built. Overall I would recommend getting this drone as a basic drone for some kids or adults who wanna take a leap in learning how to fly a drone without having to pay hundreds of dollars. Would Recommend!

Es muy entretenido, fácil de manejar.

After disappointing experience with deerc d20, it's a relief to have working drone which lasts. It's easy to control both inside and outside, suitable for children also (at least my 10 yo boy).

Agréablement surpris par la stabilité et la conduite facile et intuitive, c'est pas du pro mais pour le prix c'est très sympa.Seul point négatif est la batterie mais vu le gabarit du produit on s'imagine bien que la batterie n'est pas grosse, 10mn de vol max.

This has been fun to play with
