Drone With Camera 1080P for Kids And Adults, RC Quadcopter With Altitude Hold, Mini Drone With One Key Start, Waypoint Fly, Headless Mode, 3D Flip, 3 Speeds, Remote Control Drone for Beginners

The media could not be loaded. I bought the Simrex X800 drone as a Christmas present for my son. He had a few drones picked out in his Amazon “cart” that seemed to be much more focused as a toy. I came across this one because it seemed to have better features compared to the others he selected and was a little more geared towards a starter drone and not just a cheap toy drone. He really wanted a drone with a camera and one you could use a phone with attached to the controller. This had that and seemed to be at a great price. When he opened this one up on Christmas, he couldn’t wait to try it out!This drone is a lot of fun and easy to setup. I installed the Simrex app on my phone and was able to connect easily without issue. I showed my son how to turn on the drone and connect the controller but I did help with the app startup and connection. The camera’s quality is actually better than expected. For this price range, you typically get 720p but this definitely looked 1080p as listed. We have flown the drone a few days and it is a blast. One of the days was fairly windy, so it did struggle to maintain a perfect position. This would be expected as wind impacts even more expensive drones. Having 2 batteries is nice. We get about 20 minutes of fly time for each battery. This does vary a little depending on aggressive you fly the drone. The controls are pretty subtle which I like for my son. What I mean is this drone isn’t too fast where it can get away from you pretty quickly if you don’t know what you are doing. I would say this is a great beginner’s drone as it gets you used to drone controls. My son did want it to zip around like the racing drones so he was a little disappointed at first. I told him this drone is more for fun and taking cool videos and photos. I showed him the flip mode and he was having the drone do front flips, back flips, and side flips all over the place. That is by far his favorite part. We have used the emergency stop function a few times and it has worked great! It has saved us from getting stuck in trees or crashing into solar panel roofs. You just have to make sure you really want the drone to stop because it will immediately shut off and come crashing down. We take the drone to a big grass park nearby so we are not concerned with the crash landings. It seems to hold up just fine landing in the grass.The are a few cons that I can think of… (1) The battery life, which is pretty much an issue with a lot of budget drones, at least you get 2 with this one! (2) The controller’s phone mounting adapter. The mounting clamp for the phone can be a little precarious which makes me worried as my son is running around chasing the drone that is flying through the air. It hasn’t fallen out yet, but I feel like it might just be a matter of time since the controller is so light and the phone is so heavy. I would take caution while using the controller with the phone and with kids holding the controller. Not a deal breaker if you use this responsibly, as you should with all drones.Overall I think this is a great beginner’s drone to get into the hobby and not have to worry about destroying expensive equipment as you learn. I am very pleased with it and I know my son loves it!

I bought 2 of these at Christmas, one for our son, the other for my husband. Our son is in seminary and the stress of family and school can get immense. So my thought was using this as a means of stress relief. It worked. Yes it does provide its own stresses as you learn to fly it but it is a different stress which is great.We are impressed with the durability of the drone. Despite crashing it into ceiling fans, pine trees, Christmas trees, walls, etc., the propellers at still intact. The batteries charge relatively quickly. Our son downloaded the app to his phone and that is what provides the camera function. He has mastered getting the drone to roll and flip. Even his daughters (5-7 yrs.) have been successful flying it. We are senior citizens have even had success. Growing up without video games and joysticks does make the learning curve a little steeper but not impossible.The instructions state to not use it in windy conditions and we would agree because it is a small lightweight drone.So if you're looking for an entry level drone with durability, and ease of use, I do recommend this product.

Got this for hubby, he loves it, it was worth the money l, very easy to use and assemble, speed good. Very functional.

Not a big fan. This was suppose to be our big Christmas gift but I have been disappointed by the quality

Great little drone. I little on the light side so I dont know how well it will do in the wind. Drone was easy to setup and connect to the app.

The SIMREX Drone is a delightful entry point for families looking to explore the world of drones without a hefty price tag. We found it incredibly easy to set up, and its compact foldable design makes it perfect for on-the-go adventures. The altitude hold feature ensures stable flight, allowing us to capture clear photos and videos—ideal for family outings or backyard fun.Battery life is great for the time we'd like to use it giving us about 20 minutes of flight time per battery, and having two batteries included was a thoughtful touch. The one-key start/landing feature is fantastic for beginners, while the 360-degree flips add an element of excitement for the kids.Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to dip their toes into drone flying. Just keep in mind when starting out calm weather days are always better to learn control. If you’re seeking a fun and user-friendly drone experience, this one is definitely worth considering!
