I'll start by saying that this is a cute toy. I bought my 8 year old. old nephew who wanted a drone. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it breaking soon (or getting boring after a few days) so I went with that option. The only downside is that the playback time is around 7 minutes if you need to charge it to 40+. Plus it's cute. He loved it. But I wouldn't buy another one if the battery life didn't improve.
