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!

Awesome Drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vivitar Foldable Camera Drone is awesome. It was easy to get it started. Includes everything, plus extras and even a nice case to store everything in. This drone works so great. It went super high in the sky and goes pretty far from you. The control is pretty easy to use and has information on it to tell you about the drone and the controller. It is super durable as well!

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.

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.

Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this little drone! I’m obviously not an expert drone pilot but this one is perfect for a beginner like myself. The set up was easy and the app works well. It’s easy to fly and control once up in the air and the camera is pretty decent for this price point. My eight year old daughter can fly it and does pretty well, too.. didn’t crash it at all! We have a lot of fun with it and it’s definitely a good purchase!

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.

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.

Fun drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Price vs performance this drone is on point and would be a great drone for someone getting into the hobby especially with all of the auto features. Pros: Auto tilt and trim adjustments I love how easy it was to fly. I let my 7 year old niece take it for a spin and she was able to pick it up and fly it no problem. Auto compensation for wind. took it out in 10+ mph winds on the coast and it held it's position. Easily launches and lands you can drop it on a dime even with moderate wind. Fast and responsive, automatically adjusts back to stop drift after moving Functional VR fpv with low latency ( I did have to play with my phone and turn on full screen to get it to line up right) Auto return to land function after disconnect works like a charm. Good battery life, 15 min per battery and it comes with 2. I ended up picking up a couple extra for it pretty cheap too. Cons: I couldn't get the follow function to work. Might just be a phone setting but since I don't need it I didn't play around with it much The camera has a lot of pixelation while moving. (This affects the video during drift compensation in wind also) Once the drone loses signal and starts to return to land you can't stop it. You can control to move around objects, but it is coming down. I was considering launching it from a boat but this feature makes that really tricky. I have noticed that if you try to fly up/through an opening narrower than 5 feet it will try to move away and can make flight unstable. It sometimes has issues landing on uneven surfaces or mottled surfaces. It thinks it is uneven and takes off again. You can hit emergency off though once it is down and that stops it. Knowing the limitations you can compensate for them pretty easily. it takes great arial still shots, has good fpv and flies really easily which is what I was looking for. Honestly this drone is one of my favorites.

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.
