    • Great drone with stunts for a great price!

I have had many big drones and small drones. They are very tricky to control. But this one has been very easy with one push button controls. One button will do flips one button will do 360s. And the best feature is the one button will land the Drone safely. The same button will launch your drone. Seems to be very kid friendly and sturdy if there ever is a crash. It comes with extra propellers if you do crash. My phone fit very snug but I have a Samsung S21 Plus. I had to take the case off it. The app works very well it's mated to my phone quickly I recommend this drone for the price. I only paid 59.99. ... show more

First, I wan to start saying this is not for beginners, the drone is very small and affordable ($$), but is VERY powerful, fast and easy to use (read the user manual), it flights very smoothly, we needed to calibrate it so it can do what we want to do with it. We were able to maneuver it while inside our home where the ceiling is not so high, and going from one room to another, meaning that handling is very accurate. I can recommend it, as long as you read the manual on how to use it, it is VERY good. ... show more

This is a great little drone for a beginner. It’s fairly durable and compact. The downsides are you can’t use it in any wind, battery doesn’t last very long (maybe 10 min),the camera is low quality, and it doesn’t seem to have very good range. But it is fun for just messing around and learning how to operate a drone. It’s fun to make it do flips and if fairly easy to learn. It’s a decent little drone for the price. ... show more

    • Great starting drone for first tryers!
Color: Black
It's a great drone to start off with just because of how affordable it is compared to all the typical other drones out there that cost hundreds. This drone offers all the basic features of any drone and even more. It may not be as versatile, but it provides more than enough features for the price. The camera is great and easily connects to my phone with no interruptions in the process. It's a little tricky to get to learn how to control the drone properly, but with some practice you'll get the jest of it. It keeps a very good altitude, and the battery lasts for long enough for you to get enough fun out of it. It is also able to do a bunch of fun tricks and stunts and you can easily manipulate the way it flies. It is pretty compact and lightweight so you can take it anywhere on your trip for great pictures! ... show more

    • Its okay, the battery runtime less than expected... and only 1 battery included?
Color: Gray
Got this drone for a beginner, and found out it isn't really a beginner'a drone at all. The optical flow sensor, the, arguably, most coveted function of this drone, gets confused quite often, sending the drone drifting all over the living room, especially over a featureless indoor floor. At that point it is no different than your 19 dollar nano drone. Now, when there are features to hold on to, the optical flow sensor works okay... but do not expect DJI rock solid hovering in a single spot... if you want that kind of hovering performance, then you need to get a DJI or something far more expensive. I feel my Sharper Image DX-2, or the X4 feels like a better beginner drone than this (sans the twitchy altitude control on the DX-2), to be perfectly frank. The prop guards are a joke. If you want them to stay then you'll need to use a small ziptie to get them locked, otherwise, at the first minor bump, they will come off, and if you are unlucky, so will be the propeller... The foldability feature is nice, but the drone is quite small, so for indoor use only, there is little to no need to fold it, but its nice. I think they could've made it non foldable and save a few grams for better flight time. Battery runtime: supposedly to be around 10-12 minutes, but it somehow seems to vary wildly from flight to flight.... from 6 to 9 minutes, and most of them are just hovering the drone in the living room, not doing much anything else. I am not sure if its a problem of the drone, or the charger itself, which seems like it takes a random amount of time to recharge the batteries too, which would lead me to believe the charger might not be putting all the juice back in the pack...? which would explain why a couple of flights were only 6 minutes, and others about 10... etc. Only one battery in the package....? really? This might not sound like a big deal, but the problem is they ask 100 dollars for a pair of batteries!! which btw, can only be purchased from the SIMREX site overseas... at least I was unable to find other sources... At that point you are better off buying two more X500 drones and using the batteries, while keeping the other drones as source for spares, or a dark variant and the light one if you like flying different colors... Charging time ranges from 1 hour or so to almost 2 hours, not sure exactly why it would take a different amount of time for a fully discharged battery... with only battery, and a 2 hour recharge window, you won't be flying this drone very much... so plan accordingly. Flight characteristics are nice, the drone feels very responsive, but its not super quick, I feel the DX-2, X4 and other smaller drones I have are far quicker than this guy... even the DJI Mini 2 is a lot quicker (and faster) too. While flying indoors its greatly affected from the air rushing around, that and the optical flow getting confused over featureless floors might result in some unexpected flight behavior. One down for me is that the drone can't be hovered while in ground effect due to the optical flow sensor, which will oscillate up and down, eventually smashing into the ground. The DJI Mini 2 will automatically fly above ground effect while indoors for rock solid hover in a single spot, again, indoors too.... All other drones I own hover in ground effect just fine (but none have optical flow sensor), which extends battery runtime while hovering in ground effect, and its nice for beginners practicing their orientations so they don't have to worry about their collective (up/down).. Doesn't need a phone to fly, which is nice... I don't know the range, and I haven't used the camera so I don't know how well those are, but probably safe to assume its not a DJI Mavic.... so plan accordingly. All in all, its okay, and I am considering returning it, b/c I still think the Mini 2 with the full prop guards is a better drone for a beginner trying to learn orientations while indoors. Most of the other nano drones I own are just a handful to control for the unskilled, and most likely will get trashed in a couple of flights... b/c they won't stay put in a spot hovering, like the DJI Mini 2. So, my unsolicited advice is: Get a used DJI Mini, buy 4 battery packs, put the full propeller cage guards, and learn with that. You will save a lot of aggravation, and potentially injury or property damage if the x500 decides its not at the "right optical flow position" while indoors ... show more

    • Met my expectations!
Color: Gray
One will not mistaken this for a DJI Mini, but for 1/10 of the cost, you won't have to. Priced just right for a beginner drone. Easy to set up and get flying. Avoidance mechanism will disappoint if you're expecting DJI level. Flight controls are just right, and feel is tactile and responsive. Great choice for my first drone and I didn't have any lost drone anxiety attacks. I will be upgrading to a DJI soon, but this will stay in my bag for a long time. ... show more

This is a nice beginner drone to play around with. It is very easy to use and it is powerful. The camera quality is fine. The battery life is a little short. It is a great option if you are in a budget.
