Vivitar Sky Flow 4K Aerial Camera Drone Image Stabilization & Carrying Case, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is a kid at heart and has always had an interest in picking up a drone. Big fancy drones can be upwards of 4 figures - no one is going to mistake this for one of those but it's a GREAT way to get a similar experience at a fraction of the cost. The drone comes with its own controller, starting it up was really simple: you turn on both the controller and the drone and they sync pretty easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The skyview drone allows you to take pictures and videos as you fly it over your favorite spots. After charging the drone battery and the corresponding controller, you can use the automatic take off button to fly the drone for about 15 minutes. The remote will alert you when your charge is running low. There is a "home"button on the controller that will bring the drone back to you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start by saying that you need to have knowledge before using this drone. This is not a beginner drone and isn't meant to crash. My son who does fly drones has a very hard time with this one. It took quite a while just to figure out how to get it going and once he did it was hard to keep in the air to have a soft landing. After two days flying it a piece is broken and unfortunately it's not one of the extra pieces that came with it. The app is fun for my son. He did take pretty good Birds Eye view pics of our property. The drone has a nice case and hopefully we are able to order pieces to fix whatever broke.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun little drone. East to set up. Learning to control it takes a little time but you get the hang of it pretty quick. The batteries last about 15 min. It does come with 3 batteries so you can make the most of your play time. It does take about 2 hours to charge each battery though. I wish it had more flight time. Comes with extra rotors, a clip to hold your phone to the controller so you get a birds eye view of everything. It's pretty neat, my son really likes it.

one battery limits flight time ,and you cant buy extra batteries anywhere. camera needs to be more stable, good first drone !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone has been a frustrating device. I'm very tech savvy, and this thing is just finicky. You have to calibrate the device before it can work, but sometimes it just won't calibrate, even when following the directions exactly. It took me several days, trying in different locations and weather, before it finally worked and I could fly it. From what I can tell, it just sometimes never gets a GPS signal, and the drone will not work at all without it. Now, once the drone started working it was actually really fun. The controls are mostly intuitive and it was great. When the drone works, it is awesome. The battery is definitely on the small side, so you can only fly for about 15 minutes before you have to charge it for 4 hours. That isn't ideal. The companion app to view the camera was simple and easy to use. The picture quality, both photo and video, is very poor though. It has a several second delay between what the camera sees and what displays on the phone. The video is very choppy. It is cool to see from the drones camera, but I would not call it an amazing experience. Overall, I would say it's not worth the hassle. It can be really cool of it works, but it just doesn't work most of the time. The camera quality is very disappointing, even though it does work.

Very disappointed. I hate when they advertise is 4k video or picture. And non of them even reach 480p is terrible. The flight is cool but can't rely on the phone camera to use it it is extremely slow with the low resolution.

Not all features stated actually work. Returned

i can only fly it for 5 Mintutes on a brand new fully charged battery...

I should have done more research 15 minutes old flight times, garbage. also. a one axis gimbal. what a joke! seriously definitely returning this item
