First I want to say that you can only add one video per review, so I made an unboxing video and uploaded it as well. batteries. You need 2 AAA batteries for the remote control, these are not included with the quadcopter. The item itself does not require batteries, it comes with its own charger. I liked how easy it was to set up. We had to sync the remote together in the car, which was very easy and everything else went well. I had a bit of trouble navigating and piloting the quadcopter but my 7 year old nephew got up there right away and flew it with no problems. Overall I like the weight, looks, style and ease of use.
