Great little foldable drone after trimming.

Toyen drone is really good, but the controller seems a bit cheap, even like a toy. Still, it's not that difficult to control, I was able to change the trim right on the controller to keep it from drifting. It seemed to me that it was easier to control on my phone than on the controller. The app is free and works very well. I used it with an iPhone. I love the folding handles, it's so compact and comes with lots of extras. It is very easy for me to put down my backpack and take a seat. And he even has a screwdriver, which is nice. I would like a small suitcase to take everything with me. It would make it better. In order for the drone to fly properly, you MUST adjust the trim or it will drift in a random direction. I would recommend starting in a large room with plenty of air (but still air - no drafts or wind). Launch the drone and pay attention to which direction it is drifting. Point it back to the center of the room and then start adjusting the trim. This will slightly accelerate some propellers while not others. Do this until the drone hovers in one spot. When this happens, you're ready to fly outside. Do not attempt to fly outdoors without first adjusting the trimmer. You may need to continue trim adjustment after accidents, but at least you'll become more comfortable with the process. The instructions were pretty lame and I always wondered why these manufacturers don't talk about the importance of trim adjustment. Put a big sticker on the drone that says "Don't fly outside until you've adjusted the trim!". If you adjust the trim, it's very easy to fly and you don't have to spend a lot of time learning.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • No insurance
