So much fun to fly
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I’m new to drones but have flown RC airplanes for years and this thing is so much fun. It’s not what I expected and I’ve crashed on more than one occasion but it’s held up so far and is fun to fly. The first few flights were a comedy of errors but it’s very forgiving and a catastrophe was avoided.I’ve learned when flying outdoor it’s best not to use the lowest setting, any wind at all will carry this thing off so use one of the other two speed modes.The packaging is great, everything promised was in the box. The manual is easy to understand and I found watching the videos extremely helpful.I was worried about the controller being so different from what I am used to for RC planes but it was no time before that was no longer a concern.I’ve used the app to fly it once....once, it was interesting. It seemed to respond very well to commands and the issue was with my lack of experience flying these. I’m sure once I get the hang of it that will be fine as well. I noticed no lag but I was no more than 20’ away.I hope spare parts isn’t an issue, I already would like some spare bumpers because I like flying it around the living room and I’ve bumped into things. Ha!Overall I am thrilled with this and if you are looking for an inexpensive intro drone this is it!

Great little drone
My last drone was a few years ago when the little helicopters were the toy.This isn't like the expensive drones... no GPS, no programming, and limited range. But for less than $100 it is a lot of fun.PROS:Battery - compared to many in this price range the Shark has a nice sized battery, that gives a good 10 minutes of flight.Parts - went ahead and picked up a spare battery along with blade guards, props and even motors for $20.CONS:Wind. Does not do well in the wind. But lands if it goes out of rangeParts. Should have come with a set of prop guards

Good Drone - Bad Batteries
I'll keep it keep it quick and simple. This thing is a great flying toy drone, lots of fun and the camera although not great was a neat feature. The bad part is that the batteries are charged by a glorified phone charging cable with a red light. Mine didn't charge properly and even had one battery swollen while charging. You can see it in my pics, the one on the right is swollen. I'm gonna take my money to the local hobby store and buy something for my son with a proper RC battery on it that can me charged with a real charger, not a phone cable.

Great first drone
My first drone and love it. I've had many crashes, no breaks and it's still ready to go. After crashing, the small pinion gear below the prop slides up and prop won't turn. But it's easily pushed back in place, no problem.This is a great beginners drone. Also, it can be flown with the control box or the smart phone. You dont need both unless you want to use the camera, that's phone controlled.Also, check the screws, had a prop pivot arm screw fall out. I will locktite them now.

Surprisingly Great Performance
Each battery does last about 15-20 minutes. Flight and controls are solid. Easy trainer for my little girl. The price is a bargain.720P VIDEO: Yes on preview. No for saved videos.Phone App and WiFi connection: Not bad.Five stars for its durability, battery life, stability, and performance since January 2019.

Great!
Very fun quadcopter. Very easy to learn to use. It has different options for speed and flips. Camera also works great!

Ad says no experience.. I disagree.. conditions need to be optimal
Should be used by more experienced user. Conditions need to be optimal

I'm probably going to have to return this!
My son open this yesterday and hasn't been able to play with it because we can't get the battery door open! It seems to be jammed and no one in the house can get it open.
