Drone With Camera 1080P for Kids And Adults, RC Quadcopter With Altitude Hold, Mini Drone With One Key Start, Waypoint Fly, Headless Mode, 3D Flip, 3 Speeds, Remote Control Drone for Beginners

The media could not be loaded. I bought the Simrex X800 drone as a Christmas present for my son. He had a few drones picked out in his Amazon “cart” that seemed to be much more focused as a toy. I came across this one because it seemed to have better features compared to the others he selected and was a little more geared towards a starter drone and not just a cheap toy drone. He really wanted a drone with a camera and one you could use a phone with attached to the controller. This had that and seemed to be at a great price. When he opened this one up on Christmas, he couldn’t wait to try it out!This drone is a lot of fun and easy to setup. I installed the Simrex app on my phone and was able to connect easily without issue. I showed my son how to turn on the drone and connect the controller but I did help with the app startup and connection. The camera’s quality is actually better than expected. For this price range, you typically get 720p but this definitely looked 1080p as listed. We have flown the drone a few days and it is a blast. One of the days was fairly windy, so it did struggle to maintain a perfect position. This would be expected as wind impacts even more expensive drones. Having 2 batteries is nice. We get about 20 minutes of fly time for each battery. This does vary a little depending on aggressive you fly the drone. The controls are pretty subtle which I like for my son. What I mean is this drone isn’t too fast where it can get away from you pretty quickly if you don’t know what you are doing. I would say this is a great beginner’s drone as it gets you used to drone controls. My son did want it to zip around like the racing drones so he was a little disappointed at first. I told him this drone is more for fun and taking cool videos and photos. I showed him the flip mode and he was having the drone do front flips, back flips, and side flips all over the place. That is by far his favorite part. We have used the emergency stop function a few times and it has worked great! It has saved us from getting stuck in trees or crashing into solar panel roofs. You just have to make sure you really want the drone to stop because it will immediately shut off and come crashing down. We take the drone to a big grass park nearby so we are not concerned with the crash landings. It seems to hold up just fine landing in the grass.The are a few cons that I can think of… (1) The battery life, which is pretty much an issue with a lot of budget drones, at least you get 2 with this one! (2) The controller’s phone mounting adapter. The mounting clamp for the phone can be a little precarious which makes me worried as my son is running around chasing the drone that is flying through the air. It hasn’t fallen out yet, but I feel like it might just be a matter of time since the controller is so light and the phone is so heavy. I would take caution while using the controller with the phone and with kids holding the controller. Not a deal breaker if you use this responsibly, as you should with all drones.Overall I think this is a great beginner’s drone to get into the hobby and not have to worry about destroying expensive equipment as you learn. I am very pleased with it and I know my son loves it!

Compact and easy to fly, this small drone is perfect for beginners and hobbyists. Stable flight, great camera quality, and portable design make it a fun and reliable choice.

Sometimes I just can't help myself. I recently purchased the Simrex X3000C drone, and it was great. I had family over, and we had hours of fun flying it around the house and backyard. The only problem was my nephew liked the drone so much that he was on the verge of tears when he couldn't take it with him. So, wanting to share when I can, I bought him the Simrex X800 drone. He loves it.I mentioned this in my X3000C review, but if you are looking at drones, manage your expectations. These are good starter drones and are relatively inexpensive. They are meant to be used for entertainment purposes. Many of the reviews I have read try to compare these drones to much more expensive options. The camera is fun and clear enough to get some good shots. Don't expect 4K. Battery life is good, but don't expect to fly it for hours. The controls are great and intuitive. If you want something for the family to enjoy without breaking the bank, this drone is for you. Buy it and enjoy it around the house or backyard.

This is a good starter drone for people to use. The app was a bit confusing to setup but for the price of the item, it's definitely worth it. Using a drone is no easy task and with this, it gets you used to it.Connectivity was straightforward, once you get the hang of it. I took 1 star off for the app setup and that the drone is super light for it's size. One breeze and it just goes that direction. Video quality is adequate and gets the job done. Speed wise as well it's good. Overall would recommend the product for the price point.

I recently bought the SIMREX X800 Drone because I wanted something small, portable, and easy to fly without spending a fortune. After using it for a few days, here’s my honest take:Super easy to set up and fly – Right out of the box, the instructions were straightforward, and the one-key takeoff/landing feature is a game-changer for beginners. The altitude hold also makes hovering really stable indoors.Decent camera for the price – The 1080P camera does a decent job for casual photos and videos. It’s not professional-level, but for a budget drone, I was pleasantly surprised. Being able to adjust the camera angle is a nice touch.Foldable & lightweight – I love how compact this drone is. It folds up easily, making it super convenient to toss in a backpack.For the price, the SIMREX X800 is an awesome beginner-friendly drone. It’s fun, portable, and easy to fly, making it great for kids, first-time pilots, or anyone who just wants a simple drone to play around with.
