Skytoy Mini Quadcopter 3D Flip 2.4Ghz 6-Axis Gyro Racing Drone for Beginner Black Review

Color: Black

The mini quadcopter by Skytoy’s is a fun little flier and just a little bigger than the palm of your hand. With two speeds, this can go slow or fast and is fun for both a beginner and a more advanced quadcopter flier. This is made more for indoors, but works outdoors in a no to slight wind.

This has a pretty cool design with the props on the bottom and the prop guards as the landing gear. But with that design you do have to watch out for carpet fibers and hair getting twisted and stuck around the motor shafts and you should check and remove any before each flight if found. This can slow or stop the props from turning and burn a motor up if it gets too hot.

This does take about 30 minutes to charge and flies for about 6-7 minutes depending on how hard you fly it. It does have headless mode, which is great for beginners and does flips, which is always fun for everyone. The range on this isn’t bad either for such a small quadcopter at 90-150 feet. It gets pretty hard to see at that distance anyway, but in headless mode, is no problem to operate and control when you can’t tell the orientation of the quadcopter.

I love the look of this with the LED eyes in front. Makes it look like a bug or the head of a snake when you are looking at the front of it.

Overall, this is a great quadcopter that comes with everything you need to get out there and fly, except the 3 AAA batteries needed for the transmitter. This is easy enough for the beginner to fly and start with, but is also a fun and great flier for anyone a little more advanced.

Gizmovine Mini Foldable RC Drone Altitude Hold RC Quadcopter 2.4Ghz 6-Axis Gyro Good Choice for Drone Training Review

Color: Normal

Model: 901H

This mini quadcopter by Gizmovine comes in two models. One without the camera (901H) and one with a camera (901HS). This is the 901H.

This is a foldable mini drone with altitude hold that works pretty well and stays at the height it is at when you let off the sticks. I love that the arms fold in and out and this fits inside the controller to be stored and carried around in. You can also recharge the battery of the drone from the batteries in the controller if you aren’t around a place to charge the drone with the USB cable that comes with it.

This model has a bright LED light in the front where the other model has the camera. Makes it real easy to tell which the front when flying it is. On the one side is the charging port and the on/off switch.

For such a little drone, this is packed with features. You have one button take off, one button land, headless mode, altitude hold, flips and one button return. The range on this is about 300 feet if you have the room, but you can’t really see it at that distance for the size of this. This is a great little indoor flier when the weather is bad and you can’t get outside but works just as well outside with a slight wind or less.

Overall, a great little flier that is easy to fly and use for training for the beginners, but has enough zip on it to be fun for more advanced fliers.

Potensic F181DH 5.8GHz RC Drone Quadcopter With 720P HD Live Camera

Color: Electric Blue

This F181DH quadcopter is another great drone made by Potensic. This is a great flier, has a great metallic blue color and comes with two batteries and an FPV screen. With the altitude hold, just about anyone can fly this drone.

The props are different from most other drones and are more of an S-shaped prop compared to all the standard props out there. I think this gives this a little more power and stability when flying it.

This also comes with a 4GB class 10 SD card so you can record video or takes pictures right out of the box when you get this. You only need to supply the four AA batteries needed to run the transmitter. The transmitter is really well labeled and easy to read and operate, so you may not even need to ready the instruction if you have flown one before.

This is advertised as RTF (ready to fly) and the batteries and FPV screen are charged and ready to go, so no waiting when this baby arrives to fly this thing.

The 2-megapixel camera does take pretty good video and pictures and the alt-hold really help you get smooth and great looking shots and videos without all the jerking and bouncing. They also include a USB card reader to help you get the videos transferred to your computer when you are done flying.

The FPV screen works really well, with a great video screen so you can see what you are taking video and pictures of and also see where you are going or just to get that bird’s eye view from the ground. It really is awesome to see places from the air.  

This does have some pretty good range on it and big LED lights on the bottom, so this could be a pretty good night flier if you prefer as well. This also has a safety feature built in that will limit how high you can fly when the battery gets too low. It will also auto land once the battery is too low to fly anymore as well.

Overall, this is a great quadcopter that comes with everything you need to get out there and fly. This is easy enough for the beginner to fly and start with but is also a fun and great flier for anyone a little more advanced.
