Drone is excellent, FPV google setup is cumbersome at best
By Bryan M Hulse on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018
This drone is super fun to fly! So easy, but very fast if you dial up the max tilt/turn/ascend. The good: A blast to fly indoors or outdoors. Outdoors the range isn't super long, but I wouldn't expect that. Maybe 100 feet? If it looses contact with the controller, it hovers. Fast turning. Altitude hold works great. It's even easy to fly if you turn off the altitude hold I've crashed and crashed and with the hull on (prop guards) it is super durable. Once it makes contact, it shuts off and falls down. I've only lost one prop when hitting a bunch of bushes (don't ask). but I haven't broken anything yet. I even ran smack into a tree at FULL speed and nothing broke! Awesome! The not as good: The FPV googles are difficult to set up. It took me days to figure out how to connect them. And there is very little information on the web. I have to follow an exact process or they won't connect. Once they do connect, they loose the connection after a few minutes. And the range for the video feed is very short. I have to pretty much follow the drone around the house or it looses contact. I can't fly it into other rooms without following it. FPV connection procedure: 1) Fire up drone 2) Connect drone to phone app (it connects through Bluetooth) 3) Connect remote to phone app 4) Put camera on top of drone after already connected 5) I get a message that I need to connect via Wifi. So, I connect via WiFi 6) Now it's ready to fly with the googles. If I don't follow that exact procedure, it won't recognize the camera and can't be flown via FPV mode. But overall, for the price, I think it's very fun to fly and worth the money. So I'm giving it a 4.6 which rounds up to a 5. Note: The grabber and cannon shooter did NOT come with this version. Only the camera.

Great fun indoors
By sachinrajat on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018
I bought this drone primarly to fly indoors for fun. This is my second drone after the syma X4 which was very unstable and kept crashing. The parrot mambo is a fun mini drone which ticks many boxes like great stability, easy to take off and land, super fun ‘one button’ acrobatics. The biggest downside is the short battery life which is about 8 minutes without the camera and 6 with the camera mounted. Better buy with an additional battery pack
