Quadrone Tumbler Camera

This thing is great! But one important thing is that this is the 2.0 version. (I've owned the original 1.0 as well.) It's upgraded enough to make a noticeable difference. The 2.0 has an on/off switch on it which the original did not. They added red lights in the back which helps orient yourself to the drone much better than the original. Plus the 2.0 is much more stable and easier to control than the original. Another thing to note is that this one uses a different battery than the original. Also syncing the controller up is wicked easy. All in all its a great drone.

.poor customer service....When I told them it was not operating.. they told me they had no replacement parts and go to a hobby shop!!!!!!!!... How could they have no replacement parts when they are the manufacturer?Ludicrous and pathetic

If your hoping to use this to capture video, there is no live monitoring, so your basically shooting blind. The camera also ate one of my memory cards and it will not come out. It's extremely light so it will be effected by the wind and the manual is written so poorly it took me 2 days plus online research to get it to work. I gave it 2 stars because if you just want a drone to play around with, cool go for it. If you want something that youd like to take coordinated pictures and videos with, look elsewhere.

I'd like to start of by saying that this drone is a good deal for the price. That said it's not the best drone on the market but it is cheap and good.This drone is easy to fly and get the hang of. There is a little sensitivity switch in the middle of the controller that makes it easy to adjust for flying inside and outside. The landing gear and wing guards are amazing, I have crashed it multiple times and it just bounces back up! The throttle is a little bit touchy but it wasn't too hard to figure out.There were a few features of the drone that I didn't quite understand. The battery capsule under the camera is hard to get into, we had to use a Swiss Army knife to pry it open. It may have been an error on our part but I didn't see any alternative ways to open the battery storage up. Another thing I noticed was that it was hard to figure out when the video feature was recording or not. Again, that could have just been us. (There is a page in the manual that describes how to record)The indisputable bad features about the drone. Number one, headless mode is extremely hard to use as you have to have the trimming balanced almost perfectly or else the direction will be thrown off. (Although it's fairly easy to learn to fly without headless mode) Number two, the video quality is pretty skippy and the audio doesn't line up. (Not that the audio matters) One last thing is that the auto-return simply sends the drone flying away, whether it is towards the remote or not. I would not suggest using the feature as it may result in losing your drone. (It's easy enough to avoid)Just some notes: The battery lasted longer than 10 minutes for me, but the battery life decreases when using the video feature. Again, small price for a hobby drone, I would use this drone more for recreational flying than any type of video production. Great drone for fun flying that won't empty your bank account.

This drone is absolute garbage. It requires calibration every time it flies, if you can even get the remote and drone to sync. Just getting it running requires that it gets opened up, and has the battery unplugged and reattached several times before it finally starts properly. Even then, it's only a matter of minutes before the unit disconnects from the controller (I only flew it about ten feet away from me).There's nowhere to plug in a charger, so you have to manually open the thing and pull the battery out to charge it and also plug it in once it's charged.Throttle controls are over sensitive. Notch the throttle up a millimeter and it's full throttle. Down a notch and it completely turns off. Good luck getting a soft landing.The camera quality is so poor, it's useless. Images are grainy and extremely pixelated. Most photos come in at 192KB or so.The copter also likes to get about 20 feet in the air and switch right off, falling to the ground. So don't even think about flying it near people, cars, or water.With a fully charged battery, I got a solid three minutes of use out of this thing over the course of 8 hours.Don't waste your money.

Picked one up from Homedepot for $50. Cheap- really cheap quality. It took off real fast - and came down equally fast. After 2-3 min of jittery flight, wouldn't take off. Recharged the battery. Flew less than a min before giving up again. Imported small video clips - didn't like the quality. Will return ASAP.

Same boat as the other fella that reviewed this today. Was a Christmas present, controller won't sync with copter. Everything lights up and that's absolutely it. Nothing less nothing more. Made sure battery was charged. Don't buy this junk. Not worth the box it came in.
