Surprisingly stable
I've flown a lot of small drones and I also fly a Phantom and I have to say I'm surprised how stable this drone is. Auto takeoff is good. It pops up 4-5 feet has a very small amount of wonder which is wonderful because I was flying in the basement.I'm getting a little more than the 15 minutes of flight time goofing around in the house. I'm guessing once I get it outside in the wind and running full speed, I'll see that flight time cut down.The adjustment for acceleration works nicely and the drone defaults to a slower setting every time it's powered on. This is helpful because on setting 3 it's quite quick and it found a wall before I could pull it back. Side note: use the included bumpers.I installed the optional camera on it (included) and connected my phone using the app linked on the instructions. The video is live, but choppy. I'm not sure if that's due to interference from all of my wifi devices in the house though. Will know better when I can get it outside (stop snowing already!).Batteries for the remote are not included, you'll need 3 AA's.Came with an extra set of blades.

Awesome Starter Drone!
Great little drone for starting out, long flight time and pretty durable. The camera is not real high end but it has a micro sd slot and transmits to wifi device. You can also control the drone using an app on your phone. Camera is removable and it has a cover for the camera bay. With the removable prop guards and camera removed it has a 15+ minute flight time but you only lose a minute or two with those items attached. Charges off usb and takes about an hour a charge. I'm pretty new to drones but I'm very happy with this item. Shipped really fast too!

Great value, good gift.
I bought this as a contest prize for my staff. Let's be honest, the end of the day I did not want to spend a ridiculous amount on something high-end like a DJI, but needed something that was of sufficient quality. It was also important to me that it was easy to use, so that everyone could have fun once the drone was won. This really worked out well!The Phantasm is actually the second one of these inexpensive drones that I have bought and seems to be better quality than the last. It really gets 15 minutes of flight and the camera is as good as expected. The software is simple to use, and has the important takeoff and landing feature. The size is perfect and the connection the controller works well.Really, to me, the best part about the entry-level drones in the price. Everyone is comfortable trying it out and no one feels too bad crashing them. It's perfect for beginners. Ever crash a $500 drone? Yea, that is a terrible feeling. I actually spent more on "drone insurance", yes that is a real thing, than the entire cost of this drone for my high end unit.If you want to learn how to fly, give a gift, or use a prize (like I did) this is perfect!

Long flight time and good video/pic quality
Easy to use. Long flight time. If you don't need the camera you can pop it out and increase your flight time. It did not hold its position with a slight outside wind. The headless mode was confusing to activate and sometimes wouldn't even activate. It did not follow the joystick and ended up landing in a low tree branch- then one of the motors would not spin well after that. I would expect the motor to last longer than a week of flying it off and on and expect it to survive the blade stopping suddenly and not damage it so easily. It has blade guards for when you first try flying it to protect it until you get better at it. I couldn't find any support to buy extra pieces for the future after the warranty so I ended up returning it for a refund. I liked it but it didn't hover at all(i don't think it does) and wasn't very rugged.

Good product
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I thought it would take a few days to receive it, but I didn't expect to receive it so soon.It's a beautiful design, it's photo-friendly, it has a long battery life, my son has been playing for more than 2 hours.It's also easy to control the flight show. You can also connect to the mobile phone control. Very good setup.

The quality is really nice
First, the delivery was prompt and on time. And it's well the worth a buy. As a first drone, he loves this. He could control really good(controlling my 8 year old who wants to control it is a different story though). The quality is really nice. My husband and son came crashing down several times and no issues. The video quality is superior. Well worth a buy!

Good drone for the price
The video quality is decent, control is hard at first but you get used to it. Comes with some extra blades for the inevitable crashes. Overall looks sleek.
