Review on 🚁 SIMREX X300C 8816 Mini Drone RC Quadcopter with Foldable Design, Altitude Hold, Headless Mode, 360 Degree FPV Video, WiFi 720P HD Camera, 6-Axis Gyro, 4CH 2.4Ghz Remote Control - Easy Fly Training Drone (Blue) by James Hardy

Great little drone! We bought this for my son for Christmas for $40 and he loves it. I was surprised that the battery takes an hour to charge and then the drone uses about 10-15 minutes. We use my old phone to power the camera and save photos and videos to the camera roll. We haven't tried it outside yet, only inside and it does a good job! The camera is facing forward and slightly down, not a straight bird's eye view or straight ahead, and my son is working on figuring out the controls so he can point the camera exactly where he wants. Since we haven't tested it outdoors, we haven't seen how far the range is, or what happens if it goes out of range, gets stuck in trees, or if we can get it to come back on its own. That will be our task in spring and summer! I was looking for some spare batteries to extend their useful life, but there have been some scary reviews about the batteries catching fire when charging, so I decided to just let her play with what she has. I emailed to register the warranty and got the reply that we are discontinued for a full year and a few days later, to my surprise, the company contacted me and asked if I would like two free batteries. I said yes please and confirmed my address. I wasn't sure if it was legal but the package arrived today! The batteries will be recharged (with our watchful eyes in case they catch fire) and now he should be having three times as much fun, right? We definitely don't leave them with the charger plugged in, and following the recommendation, we also don't plug in the battery when not in use. We are happy!
