I would suggest being conservative about your flying time by assuming the batteries would run out a little more quickly.• A 2-strand charging cable came with the kit as well. You can charge two batteries at a time with that cable. For me, I would want to buy one more of those 2-strand charging cables and one more battery so I can charge four batteries at a time.• Batteries for the controller were not included. AAA batteries are required.• The battery compartment is secured by a small screw as well as with a plastic latch. You'll want to be careful in handling the screw because it's easy to lose. Not that I would ever drop it on the carpet.• The controller seems to have similar actions to other Holy Stone drones. For example, the left stick goes up and then back down to pair the controller with the drone. The left and right sticks go down and to the lower left hand corner to calibrate the drone.Observations• The small size of the drone means you don't have to register it with the FAA.• One thing to be aware of is the drone does not have a camera. That's not a bad thing because you can practice your piloting as long as you keep the drone within sight. For me, that was an attractive feature for beginning drone pilots. Lack of a camera is one less thing for them to worry about when starting to learn how to pilot drones. Gaining piloting skills then prepares the drone pilot for the more expensive drones that come with cameras. The piloting skills will contribute to great photos and videos from the drone.• The rotors are enclosed, so it if bumps into something, the rotors won't cause damage/injury nor will they be damaged by collisions.• Because the rotors are enclosed, you can grab it out of mid-air with your bare hand.• I would be cautious about flying this drone outdoors unless the air is very still. The drone's size may make it susceptible to gusts.Attachments• I attached of photo of the drone and controller on letter-size (8.5 x 11 inches) paper to give a sense of the size of the two items.• The video is me launching the drone without the controller. It cuts on automatically when you toss it up. One time, I let it get stuck in our ceiling light. When I knocked it down, it started automatically and started flying again.Overall, I would highly recommend this drone for beginners. I'm not the most advanced drone pilot, so I immediately saw the potential for using this to develop one's skills at home. The ability to do things with it without the controller also have potential for fun activities. Remember when hacky sacks were a thing? I can see how these kinds of drones, flying without controllers, can be part of fun games.I added this statement after posting this review. In the interest of full transparency, Holy Stone kindly provided the drone for testing. My comments don't change. I was indeed pleased with the drone and its performance, especially for the price. It has a lot of potential to get kids interested in tech.

The media could not be loaded. This little drone is simply a blast. Up and flying in less than a minute and super easy to learn. With multiple speeds its slow enough to fly around inside your house but fast enough to really whip around. Even my 5 year old was able to get it under control after only a few attempts.The throw to fly is an awesome feature and works really well. Occasionally you might throw it too aggressively and it gets out of control, but that’s ok because..It is very durable and you can crash it as much as you want. All four rotors are encased in protective shields so there’s no worry about breaking or hurting anyone.Headless mode seems to drain the battery faster? But tha tmight be my imagination. The batteries last a good while and there are three of them so they are always ready to fly.Overall this thing is just a super fun for anyone from 5 years old to 105 years old.The cats hate it though.

Edit: After one day, the drone stopped flying correctly. It was listing hard to the right. I wasn't expecting super quality, but expected more than one days use or of it. I exchanged it and the replacement is holding up so far. There is still a little drifting from side to side, but it's easy to compensate with the controls. Hopefully this holds up long haul. I'll further update the review with how it holds up long term. At least I know that holy stone customer service is on point and I'm confident they'll take care of me.This is my 3rd drone from this company. My son has an HS110G and I have a HS720E. Those are great, but it's a little cold to be flying outside in the winter. This guy works great indoors. The props are completely enclosed so it is not going to damage anything by crashing into it.There are two modes in which you can operate this. The first is sensor mode. To use this you toss the drone up and it will hover. You can then "push" the drone across the room. My kids like to play drone volleyball with this. There are also gestures you can do to make it do tricks and flips. Sometimes it will have a mind of its own and just go off in a random direction, but that's part of the fun. I wouldn't recommend using this mode outside, since sometimes it will shoot up and bounce off the ceiling. If you were outside, I expect it would take off never to be seen from again.The other mode is the joystick mode. The controller works pretty much like all the other quad copters out there with one stick controlling elevation and yaw and the other stick moving forward, back and side to side. Once you get the hand of it, this flies pretty stable with the controller.One thing you don't get a good sense from the pictures is this thing is tiny. It easily fits in the palm of your hand. The screws that hold the prop guards on are also tiny. I had to pull a prop guard off and dropped one of the screws into the carpet and could not find it. If you have to take the prop guards off, get a cup or better yet an magnetic screw tray to hold things you take off. The drone comes with a screwdriver and extra props, but I wish it came with some extra screws too.Be careful if you have long hair. The drone got caught up in my wife's hair and got hair wrapped around the motor shaft. Nothing serious, but tie your hair back before you fly.All in all, fun drone for not a lot of money. Happy flying.

What an amazing drone!! It was small but very responsive and surprising.I ordered it and received it quickly in the mail. It was EXACTLY as listed on the website.FANTASTIC.The Drone itself is small but sturdy and it did great on its first at the lake/beach. I took it out and it flew up at least 25 feet and the controls were responsive to the toch. Setting up was super easy - and simple. Easy to use right out of the box - the THREE batteries are simple to charge and last a long time!The controls were super simple to use and easy to navigate in the house and yard - yes - we made the trip in both. It was very easy to learn to operate this as the controls were so simple.I would HIGHLY recommend the drone - GREAT quality for the price, a lot of fun!!!!
