Great affordable RC Copter
591349
This is the best RC copter I have flown.  It works great indoors and also works outdoors if there is little or no wind.  Tons of fun.  This thing can go quite fast!  I have crashed it a few times and nothing has broke (yet).  Hovers pretty well without trim.  Hovers extremely well after trimming.  Trim is digital and is displayed on the LCD screen on the bottom.  Highly recommend this item for anyone interested in RC helicopters.

For the price it is a VERY stable quadcopter.  The video isn't bad, and it actually seems to look better if you replace the cheap micro SD card that came with the model.  You will still need to learn how to fly, but that just takes practice.  Lots of practice.
I have a Phantom 3 and I still fly this one just because it is a lot of fun.  Also, as it weighs less than 4 ounces it doesn't need to be registered.
I did not get this thing for free, and I am not being compensated for an "Honest" (yeah, right) review.  I really hate the liars that do paid reviews.  there is a special place in you-know-where for people that make money by misleading consumers like that.

This is a fun little copter. The battery only runs for a short time but oh well. I bought it because I want to eventually buy a large quad copter with a camera.
I now own 3 of these so we can have quad races.

As a beginner, I needed a quadcopter that was easy to set-up, and operate. The Phantom 3 delivered. I am having a lot of fun with it. The package comes with everything you need to get going quick. With three batteries, I can get about 45 minutes of flight time in diverse weather conditions. The backpack is very handy. The two things I don't like about the back pack, are that the propeller guards do not fit inside and that it doesn't have an Ipad or tablet pocket. But for the price, I can't complain.
I would recommend this package deal for a first timer wanting to get a higher quality drone.

This is the best r/c helicopter out there for the money. Only indoor use, careful with letting kids use we have broken many wings, wings are flimsy and fragile but replacements are cheap so that is good. Battery life is decent for this size r/c copter runs for about 6 minutes. Watch out if little kids or girlfriends are around and the wings hit them, lol, it can be kinda painful! Overall love this thing, girlfriend may say otherwise though!

I got this for myself for Christmas. Not expecting much for $60 I was surprised at how well it flies compared to the cheap junk you see everywhere for about 20 bucks. That said, this one is still a toy so don't expect to become an expert RC pilot with it. It is easy to fly to a certain extent due to the coaxial rotor so once you have it trimmed (very simple procedure) it hovers in a more or less stable mode. The big problem with these cheaper fliers is you only have one proportional control, the cyclic or throttle, to control elevation. The forward, back, left, right control is either on or off. The directional thrusters are inadequate to completely overcome rotational torque. This means you have great altitude control but little directional control. No matter how well you trim it this thing still goes where it wants (and constantly changes its mind) so be ready to cut the throttle or catch it at any time. The trim also changes as the battery loses charge but you can't adjust it while flying like you can with a "real" rc radio system. Crash resistance is amazing with the folding rotor system. My unit has taken some major crashes with the only damage being one chipped rotor blade when I smacked a table leg. It comes with 4 spares so I had it flying again in five minutes.

Overall It's a lot of fun for $60 but I wouldn't pay a cent more for it. You'll outgrow it quickly and want to mover up to a real heli like the CH+ or CH Pro.

This very affordable drone is our first and I couldn't imagine a better full-user-control deone for someone wanting to learn to fly their own drone. Seems like a good build quality since we only fly it over grass surfaces. I'm really excited by how easy the remote is, despite its higher functionality.

Awesome copter.  Crashed numerous times but still kept flying.  Not too good in the wind.  Very fun for the price.

I am not an expert at programming RC transmitters by any means and I don't own any airplanes, only helicopters and quad-copters but I own a DX6i and have programmed a few birds into it.  I purchased this a couple of years ago because it looked like a good radio for the price.

I did program this for a V911 helicopter and found that it was flying so well that it seemed like a totally different heli.  It was so rock-solid stable that I was able to fly in very small areas.

The lighted LCD is a nice feature usually found on more expensive radios.  I have recently ordered a lanyard and soft case for this to take it to the parks to fly the V911 and anything else that it will support.  A great radio for the price.

This was my first foray into RC devices and I do have to admit that I find it interesting . The Hubsan X4 was a relatively cheap way to test the waters as they say and the best way to find out if you like this hobby. It is quite durable, nimble, and challenging to learn. I don't think you can go wrong for the price.

Got this for my son around Christmas. The only real information I had on this was a Youtube video someone did in a different language. He dropkicked it a few times to demonstrate that it survived, so I took a chance. The video was not wrong, this flying helicopter has held up very well.

My only real complaint is that if you don't have your hand on the navigational control, it seems to pull a little to one side. A slight adjustment to the left and it lifts straight off the ground and offers very good control, so it's not an issue with the helicopter itself but the remote.

I should note, I am no pro with flying RC helicopters, but I know it offers very good control when I was able to fly it around my house in small spaces with no issues -- most of them I would crash.

I can see how this would make a fun hobby. I like the LED lights on this quad copter. My girls enjoy watching me try to fly it. I've managed to fly is a couple of feet off the ground while making it spin in tight circles. Be sure to read the instructions carefully on how to operate it, to cut down on the learning curve! I was afraid that I received a bad product because the bottom of the aircraft has the circuit board exposed. I found out this is how it's suppose to be. I've had a few crashes with no damage yet. This is surprisingly sturdy.

Although I have small R/C helicopters, this was my first quad copter.  There was a decent learning curve during the first few charges* and I had challenges with adjusting the trim.  *charges last around 5-6 minutes.

I highly recommend learning to fly this outside.  After about 3 charge cycles I had the flight down pretty well.  It's pretty awesome in my backyard, surrounded by trees, especially on levels 2 and 3 which allow for quicker maneuvering.  It flies just fine in slight winds.

Another recommendation is to order a set of replacement rotor blades while you buy this, which I've heard will be available in approximately 2 weeks from 10/8/15, per the seller.

After the 2nd flight, I was almost ready to send it back...  but I didn't, and I'm glad I kept it.  It's fun to fly!

This is a great indoor rc micro copter. My 3 year old son and I love it! you will be amazed at how much control you have.

This little quadcopter is so much fun.  It is tiny though, so be prepared for that, but your fun-to-dollar ratio is off the charts.  Just needs a little adjustment out of the box to the controller, but that is to be expected on any R/C copter.  Got this as a gift for my brother and everyone in the room of all ages wanted to play with it.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. It's his (our) first foray into drones. Couldn't be happier. He was able to get it up and hovering right away without reading the manual. Figuring out how to much more took a little reading, but still, it's easy-peasy to fly. As others have noted, the camera is pretty low quality, but what do you expect for $40?

There are tons of other reviews out there, many of which are pretty detailed, so I'll save my breath, with two exceptions. Be sure and buy extra batteries right away (I bought these...&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Teenitor-3-7V-680mAh-20C-Batteries-with-5-in-1-X5-Battery-Charger-for-Syma-X5C-1-X5C-X5A/dp/B00MF3SAF2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Teenitor 3.7V 680mAh 20C Batteries with 5 in 1 X5 Battery Charger for Syma X5C-1 X5C X5A</a>&nbsp;), as the single included battery is only good for 7 minutes of flight. Second, while you may want to buy replacement propellers, there ARE spares included. They are taped to the bottom of the matching white plastic insert. Easy to overlook and throw out.

All in all, a great introduction to RC flight. Earns my official seal of approval.

After more than a month of driving this thing, I'm pleasantly surprised.  AWESOME for the price - super fun to fly, decent camera.  This model did not feature return to home, headless mode, or gps, which is specifically stated in the description and costs extra, so i did not ding it a star for that.

Note, this is a "stick shift" style drone that needs you to pilot it at all times, as there is no cruise control hovering or navigation that the more expensive drones have.

Pros:
- fast, super easy to control, excellent yaw control and turning radius
- flies higher and farther than expected
- frame acts as a protective bumper for indoor and outdoor crashes
- total flying time with both batteries included is 20 minutes
-technically falls under the weight required for registration with FAA
-good rc controller.
- lots of crashes on cement and trees, still in great shape.

Cons:
- any moderate breeze or wind will blow it away.  I've tried to fly this every day to test it under various conditions, and on a day with no wind, I can get it to hover at 100 ft stably.  On a windy day, it got pushed away no matter how forward i fought against the wind, so i just cut the engine to let it drop like a rock so i could at least recover it.  There have only been a few days where this was a problem.
- cannot adjust camera angle.  no biggie, but if you fly at 10 feet or below all you see is grass and cement.

Tip:
-read the manual
-don't let your thumbs off the sticks, and learn how to finesse the controls.  Once you're there, you can control it good enough for a drone race with obstacles.
