I've bought the *** drone toys and flown the *** drones. You get what you pay for of course, but for the money this is better than I expected. For first time drone fliers you get a chance to experience flying without risking losing hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on a crash...and trust me, you will dump your drone if you've never flown one before. Good performance, the usual 5-15 minute flight time, but that's normal for even the expensive drones. Great first drone for a teen or adult.
