Skyrocket Sky Viper V2450HD Streaming Video Drone

works as advertised, but it is delicate/light. Need a calm day to fly this around

Excelente , llego en tiempo y forma, aún aprendiendo a usarlo pero parece ser de fácil uso para principiantes .

This is my first drone and it took me couple of tries to learn how control it under Auto mode. I haven't tried yet on manual mode but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.It has lights on four corners of the drone main body to indicate front/back but it not used for lighting at night. Likewise you won't be able to utilize the camera but has clear views during the day.It's very easy to connect to your phone for you to view what the drone camera is seeing. Be careful to operate in open spaces as the propellers will not work if it's stuck no a tree, under furniture, etc.This would make a great gift to both kids and adults!

This thing is so much fun. The battery does not last very long...maybe 5-10 minutes, so we bought a backup. BUT....it's pretty durable, easy to control and the price was great. Lots of fun. Would recommend for a starter drone.

Do NOT buy these cheaply-made drones! I'm not talking about quality of parts put in it (you get what you pay for), I'm talking about the programming. My son and I went out to test and calibrate this drone. Upon takeoff, it immediately throttled forward without any commands from the Remote PIC. Thinking it was just a fluke, we tried a few more times - same thing. The drone took off and kept flying away without command(s). The instructions, both from the manufacturer and online, tell you to use the F (front), B (back), L (left), R (right) buttons to properly align the drone in the air. NONE of these buttons worked. This drone is light-weight, but even a 2 lbs. drone that flies away can still hurt someone or damage property.I had the item replaced with another of the same, from Amazon. However, the replacement Sky Viper did the exact. Same. THING. Granted, it did throttle forward and to the right the first time. Again, the FBLR buttons did nothing to get this drone under control. I tested it in an empty parking lot, away from people and personal property. After 15 minutes and making six separate take-offs, the Sky Viper refused to obey the calibration commands. I had to pull back on the directional sticks just to get it to avoid flying into a nearby tree. How is one supposed to properly calibrate this thing, safely, when it immediately takes off and you have to avoid people and property?These drones do look great and they would've made a good beginner drone for those starting out on their UAV journey. However, both of my experiences have been less than stellar and more than concerning. I'm not going to lie: I'd be very uneasy to see one of these things flying in the air. They're just too unpredictable and dangerous. Perhaps tenacious customers can look for Sky Viper videos on YouTube, then send comments to the authors to get their advice on fixing the throttling issue. For the average customer, who expects something to work as it's supposed to, don't bother with these. I'll be returning this item and informing the manufacturer of a potential defect.

Bought it as a Christmas gift for a friend. We’ve been waiting for nicer weather to take it out of the box. Finally got the chance to and it’s not as good as we were anticipating battery fully charged only lasted about 8 minutes so make sure you have another battery. By the time you get the hang of flying it (for newbies like us) the battery is dead and then it takes a few hours to charge. Kind of disappointed.
