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.

Best Drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone has seriously impressed me. This comes with a great manual to refer to and help set up.I am pleased with the performance of this drone so far. First off, this is an excellent bundle. All I can say is WOW! This is the coolest drone I’ve ever flown. This is so much fun. It took me a while to learn but I like it. Super-easy to fly! Any beginning drone pilot will be able to fly this right out of the box. This would make a great gift for someone who wants to get into drones, its fun and easy to learn on. It's has some great features like, GPS transmission, wifi app control, follow me guide,hd video, auto hover, one key turn, and ability to fly up 2000 feet. This drone also comes with a phone holder to easily fly and control your device with using your mobile phone. The remote control is easy to use and ergonomically friendly.  The controller is nice in the hands, balances okay with a Pixel and quite well with an iPhone or android device The drone is very controllable even when there is a breeze. The strength of this drone is very strong fighting through really windy days. The instructions were clear and within minutes of downloading the app it was up and flying. The app it uses is compatible with Iphone and other operating system based devices. The instructions for setup is very clear and with lot of videos to watch. I will say that my drone did everything it was designed to do and especially with the safety features for beginners, they are AWESOME. The video and pictures look nice as long as I keep the flight smooth. The photos took by the aircraft are very clear. The video is smoothly when captured in flying mode. The camera has a 180 degree view. Total flying time has been from 25 to 35 minutes. There's different speeds to the drone as it flys and it's easy to make it take off and return to you. This drone has intelligent GPS so you can keep track of your drone during flight. Thanks to gps, which I think is a must. After reading the directions and some practice, i did NOT have a crash and burn episode and did NOT lose the drone. The active track is much better, although I have not used it much. Everything came in a handy carrying case. It is a really nice case made of premium-feeling materials and holds everything perfectly. The case with everything in it is super light and sturdy for easy transport. It's very compact when folded and fits well into a small-ish case so parts dont get lost. Sincerely, a very satisfied new drone flyer! Overall a great product that I would recommend to others.

Lots of fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I are having a blast with this drone! Setup was pretty easy. I did have some issues connecting it to the wifi, but that was solved fairly easily.   I love that it comes with an extra battery and extra blades. The carrying case is really nice to keep it protected when we're not using it.   It look us a bit of time to get used to controlling it and we had a few mishaps, but once we got the hang of it, using it was fun. The images are super clear and the drone is very well made. It definitely has a lot of upgrades from our older drone. I recommend getting an SD card so you can view your footage at a later time.

AWESOME

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone was AWESOME. Very easy to fly, once you learn. It did take a few tries to get the hang of it, but once you know its super easy. I love that it came mostly assembled and ready to take off. This drone was durable, well made, and stunningly designed. I was eager with how long it stayed charged, as well as the distance it would fly. Easy to connect to my phone and operate as well. LOVE IT.

Perfect for my first drone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My coworker purchased a drone and showed me all the fun things you can do with them. I was pretty impressed! I stumbled upon Vivitar VTI Phoenix foldable camera drone. I have to say for my first drone, I can’t ask for anything more. This little guy is fantastic! The weather has been super windy lately, so I was very eager for a calm day. The directions were easy to follow, and I was able to get the hang of flying this drone in no time. This drone is such a beast! I took it with me when I went to the park with my children and dog, and got some great shots of us playing frisbee. Picture quality is very decent. Vivitar VTI Phoenix foldable camera drone would make an awesome gift for anyone looking for a drone! My children had so much fun as well. I’ve been teaching my eldest how to use it and I’ve never seen him so enthused. I like that it comes with a carrying case, it’s easy to pack everything up and put away. The only non-positive thing about this drone is the battery life, I wish it lasted twice as long. Other than that I’m very satisfied.

Drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried it for the first time yesterday!! So exciting. And it was actually pretty easy. It was my first time flying a drone. It flies so smoothly and the remote is pretty easy to use after reading instructions (i saw a video from their brand, very helpful) and i love that u have the option of using ur phone with the remote. It has two cameras one in front one underneath the drone. You need to get this!! Plus the travel bag lt comes with keeps it safe.

Great price great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting a drone for a while now. This one has very nice features that meet my needs and at the same time wont break your bank. It has a lot of the features of some other more expensive ones, so I’d say it’s definitely worth buying. It comes with two rechargeable batteries and even has a very nice carrying case. The drone is foldable as well so very compact. Easy to travel with. The only thing is you will need to buy your own micro sd card. Full flight time is 15 min per battery, and 2000 foot flight range. Very impressive

Easy features for beginners use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my older two sons a bit ago. Neither have really used drones before so I wanted something easy to use but still nice quality. I have not been disappointed with this and they have had a blast. It works well with both of their phones ( one has android other iPhone). It’s compact and the carrying case is nice. We already had microSD cards so I didn’t have to purchase any extras. The time for the batteries is pretty accurate. We’ve gotten close to 30 mins out of them combined. Once they save up money, I really think they will plan on getting another one so they do not have to share.

Excellent drone with learning curve

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first drone and so far I've loving it. There's quite a bit to do before you can fly it though, like calibrating and syncing, but I guess it's generally the case for drones, I guess? Also I had issues getting the recording to work, even though it says it was successful. But also, this thing is FAST and very responsive. The flying experience is an absolute joy. It's so fun to zip this thing around.

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..
