Propel Maximum VL-3512 X01 Red Micro Drone

Broke in two days

Very low quality. Not worth the money.

I got this very same one at walmart, $18. It's a really good drone for the price, this thing flies better and easier than one of my $70 drones. the trim works okay for what it is, it barely moves out of place, you'll never get to stay PERFECT, but that little thing can hold it's own.I'm unsure why people say it's junk, it's a $25 drone at best. What were they expecting, DJI quality?it's one of those drones that just feels...right when you fly it.PROS:~ flies well and flies easier than a $70 dollar drone~ It's size is adorable~ it has 4 replacement propellers for each blade~ it actually has sensors that block it from hitting the floor or ceiling or walls or really any object~ it takes off and lands by it's self~ THIS HAS SOME POWER BEHIND THOSE LITTLE TINY MOTORS!~ it can go pretty damn fast on the third speed setting!~ FREAKING 360' FLIPS!CONS:~ it only has 5 min battery!~ it often loses sync with remote, you have to keep re-syncing it( this doesn't happen while flying)~ blades spin a little too fast, I cut my arm and leg lol, don't fly too close near pets or other peoplehonestly, it's a great drone!

It is very durable, except for the propellers come off when it crashes.I paid $40 at Walmart and I still think it was a great purchase.I think sometimes these reviews on here are totally fake, because I have crashed this drone so many times, the crash cage broke. I continued to fly it without the crash cage and all that happens is I lose one prop.After I slip on a new prop it's ready to fly again.It has an amazing range! I was able to fly it direct above me for at least 100 feet.It is the easiest drone I have ever bought.Others I have bought have said easy to fly but this one I have become almost an ace pilot.Here's a tip, keep the drone's white lights and grey props faced away from you at all times so you don't become confused.Start with ONLY using the right joystick going left to right, front to back.Try not to allow the drone to pivot or else every command you give will be opposite.At first, only use the left stick to get the drone to an altitude that will bypass most obstacles.After you master the left right front back motions you'll be able to do more advanced maneuvers.I find it easier to fly in the highest speed because it has more power to fight wind, and it will also correct any undesired mistakes quicker.I plan on buying more of these as gifts.My 10 year old son is able to fly

What a piece of garbage. Cannot get the drone and controller to stay synched. When it did fly it just flew away and crashed, no amount of trim adjustments made any difference. Don't waste your money. Even for an adult this little piece of junk is highly infuriating.

Drone flies great! You MUST calibrate gyro (make sure unit level, hold both stocks to bottom right corner until less on drone flash) EVERY time you fly to ensure proper function. Do this twice before using at all, calibrate, turn off, turn on, calibrate again. Now ok to fly.Use indoors first few times. Learn all controls. T training mode works great,. This drone is fast and zippy in speed 3too!5 min flight time, 30 min charge.

What a piece of junk! This is the reason I never buy these flying toys. The thing takes off and flys off to the left and crashes, no amount of rt trim brings it back to center. They are built to make money for the company and not for enjoyment. Do not give your hard earned money to this company, because they are not working hard to earn a good reputation. I could just picture the CEO of Propel sitting back in their big window office laughing uncontrollably because of all the money they got for making something that probably costs $3 to make. Thank God this was given as a gift to me or else it would have been going right back to the shelf it came from. Hope this saves people from giving away their money.

The on-off switch failed almost immediately on two different drones. A third one had issues with the low voltage cutoff circuitry. Battery fully charged (verified with multimeter) would only fly for about three seconds before going into low battery mode. Expect to get 5-10 flights out of each drone before something breaks.
