Excellent little drone ,plays well flys high cameras great and is very easy to fly can use it in app or control battery lasts quite a while strong build and cool design for a drone stable flying

Waste of money

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had mixed results with the 4DRC drone, sometimes it works pretty well and sometimes it just wants to crash. Still, you can adjust a few things on the drone to steady it up, I found that I had to reset it each time though.The drone comes in a light protective foam case which includes the drone, 2 batteries, spare propellers, a mini screw driver and a USB C charging cable for your batteries. Each of the batteries has a charging socket for you to plug the cable in to them directly.The quality seems just ok, perfectly acceptable for a starter drone. It’s very light and fits nicely in your hand.Using the drone is pretty straight forward although getting it to connect to the controller was a bit of a pain. I read the instructions and followed them to a T but after resetting it a number of times and trying again, I eventually got it to connect.Controlling the drone is pretty responsive and there are adjusting buttons incase your drone is pulling to the left, right, front or back. Once they’re adjusted, you should have a fairly stable drone. I did find that any kind of breeze can make it drift quite easily so using this on a windy day could be troublesome.Once I got used to using it just with the controller, I then downloaded the app, connected the phone, controller and drone together and gave it a go. Again, it works ok but I found that once the battery starts getting low, it wouldn’t connect at all. That’s a bit of a worry if your drone is high up or away in the distance and it stops communicating.The app is straightforward and there’s a help section to talk you through each of the buttons in the settings.The camera on this drone seems quite low quality too, it certainly doesn’t look 1080p, it’s possibly even lover than 780p. I did look through the settings but can’t see anywhere to change the camera quality settings. It’s also a fixed camera so you can’t adjust it in the app, you can adjust it manually though. Shame really.Overall, this is an ok starter drone. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money and just wants to get the hang of how drones work. Yes, it’s not perfect and it does need tweaking as you go along and the camera is pretty terrible, but I wouldn’t say it’s unusable. You could still have some fun with this out in the park with your kids.Quality-wise, again, it’s just ok. Nothing to write home about, it’s about right for its price.

Nice drone, the gimbal is fixed but other than that it's well worth the money

I like the design !! Looks like the DJI Inspiry 3

The app to use the drone is £60 a. month, it’s more expensive to use the drone than to buy it, per month.Avoid like the plague.

Setup is pretty simple enough, but I could not for the life of me to get the app to work. I connected to the Drone network and started the app but it never interacted or worked to control the drone.The drone is insanely small, but suffers immensely from wind to the point it WILL BE BLOWN AWAY by even the smallest of wind, making this entirely useless outside...

Good instructions, made sense and explained how to fly
