Unreal Drone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have taken a few months now looking for a drone that would work well for a beginner like myself. After talking to some friends and reading many reviews I decided to go with the VTI Phoenix Drone. This is exactly what I needed and more! The drone handles extremely well and hovers great on GPS mode. After talking to more experienced drone flyers, a lot of people say that this drone is of amazing quality at an extremely affordable price. I would definitely recommend this drone to friends and family.

Great starter drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drones can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but the VTI Phoenix instructions made it easy to figure things out. It includes two batteries, which are usb C powered, giving you approx 32-36 minutes of fight time. Batteries take between 3-5 hours to fully charge, so overnight is easiest time to do it. There are 4 replacement sets of propellers included and a nice sturdy hard case for storage. The range is a bit limited at 2,000ft but should satisfy most needs as long as you don't need it to go too far. I like the features that it has like "Follow Me" through the app. You can also hover in place and take some amazing wide view HD photos. The camera can also rotate 180°! Pretty cool. There's a one button return feature, perfect for when using with my kids. This is recommended for ages 8+ but I would suggest parental guidance to limit potential breakage and responsible flying.

Great flying time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed an affordable HD drone that captured sharp image video and this does exactly that! Flying time is close to 30 minutes and doesn’t take a million hours to charge unlike some of the other drones I’ve previously owned. I am so impressed with its image quality! I took it on vacation with me to Mexico and was able to get some beautiful mountain and ocean videos! Showed my family and they they couldn’t believe how professional it looked! Super easy to navigate and user manual is also very thorough to help you get started.

So AWESOME!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first drone and I think I might have set the bar pretty high with this one! This drone has some pretty awesome features with a lot of extras like and extra rechargeable battery, propellers etc. The 3 different flying modes are pretty sweet and it’s pretty easy to operate for first timers. The camera and videos look pretty good for someone who is just using the drone for recreation. I love the build in phone holder on the controller. The only thing you really need to get are the batteries for the controller and an SD card to save whatever videos and photos you’d like. The run time on the battery is pretty good, lasts a little over a half hour. It’s great that there’s a back up battery too. Overall this drone is a blast and my son loves it too!

Super fun for first video drone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 12 year old absolutely loves the drone. It’s his first video drone. He used it on our trip to the zoo and captured some great images of our zoo and our family as a group. He loves going back and looking at the footage. It is easy to control, and has a great battery life.

Easy to operate, even for beginners

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting to get a drone for awhile for random things and decided to get this one and I am so glad that I did. The photos took by the aircraft are very clear. Lots of features. Reading the manual is a must but it isn't hard to understand. My family loves this.

Initial Review

1st time flyer. The set up instructions are ok. Video(s) will help. Encountered some lubricant spattering from one of the motors on first flight. The support chat doesn't seem to be supported so there really doesn't seem to be ANY support beyond a few FAQs. Not too thrilled. The app for ordering parts doesn't even work. I have that feeling, you get what you pay for.. $200 I hope it doesn't blow a motor in 91 days..

Flies great but breaks easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone is pretty nice. It does take some time learning it and several steps to take before flying it. It takes nice videos and pictures and it did a great job returning to home and flew a pretty decent distance away. However the design itself does not hold up well if it does crash. 3 of the legs broke up already from crashing which was obviously are fault however I would think it should be able to withstand more. It does still fly fine and work just a bit disappointed that it breaks so easy. Overall though it is very nice and flies great.
