This is a great starter drone, suitable for younger children and yet fun for beginning adults to learn on. The motor skills developed with this less expensive drone carry over to when you want to upgrade to a more complex drone like the HS200-D, which has several more features. The drone comes with extra battery packs so you have lots of flying time available before you have to charge them. The included charger lets you know when the battery pack is fully charged, you don't have to remember how long you've been charging them. There was one issue with the AAA cells for the controller. I installed Duracells and couldn't get the controller to power up. An email to Holy Stone Customer Support gave me the fix - switch to Energizer cells. I found that hard to believe but bought some and that took care of the issue. There seems to be a slight difference in cell length or the angle of the positive cap or something that prevents Duracells from making contact. Holy Stone customer support has always been excellent. This is my fourth Holy Stone drone that I've purchased either for myself or for younger relatives. These make great gifts and put up with lots of abuse without breaking. And, having a micro drone around is great for keeping my flying skills sharp for the larger, outdoor drones.Read full review

I always keep a mini copter around just for fun or for the kids. Of the 6-8 different models and brands I have owned this is my favorite so far. Even the kids find this the most stable in flight and easiest to maneuver. The hover is especially useful as is the auto land. Coming with three batteries and two chargers gives good flight time and reasonable turn around. This is my first one with the circular blade guards and I will never own another without them.

Purchased this micro drone as a gift for my 8 year old, but ended up wanting to borrow it a few times a week. Aside from needing a little help with the screw on the battery compartment, he was able to unbox and get flying with no assistance. The pairing process is actually simplified because you just plug the battery in to the drone, turn the controller on and then move the thumbsticks to pair. The drone has 3 different speeds that are easily changed via the shoulder/bumper button. The best feature, by far, is the fact that the product comes with 3 batteries and 2 chargers. Each battery lasts at least 10 minutes, so combined you get about half an hour, which really surpasses other mini drones in this price/product range. I was slightly concerned that the controller was cheaply made, but those were quickly invalidated. The drone was quick to react to input and the thumbsticks were snappy and solid. The drone itself while light, is very durable and had no issues after a few "difficult" landings. The box did come with extra parts and the required tools, but unless you really abuse this, you probably won't need them for a while.The auto start/takeoff button is a good feature and allowed my 5 year old daughter to take control and do a few laps around the kitchen island. The 3 speeds make it easily scalable to different skill ranges, so novices, intermediates and advanced users can all have fun. If you need a good gift that won't get tossed after the first week, this is it!Read full review

For such a small drone the technology is amazing. I really like the altitude hold feature. It has three speeds and is pretty sporty and responsive. I really like the full prop guards, you can bump into walls and the drone bounces right off. Bright Green and RED LED lights helps with direction. This is a good indoor beginner drone. The price point is good as well.

Amazing little drone. So easy to fly. Great for indoors or out. It is worth it. It seems to be durable i crash and it is no problem. It cuts flops which is awesome. It has three speeds for any level user. It is a fun little drone.
