SIMREX Drone With Camera 1080P for Kids And Adults, RC Quadcopter with Altitude Hold, Mini Drone With One Key Start, Waypoint Fly, Headless Mode, 3D Flip, 3 Speeds, Remote Control Drone for Beginners

I bought the Simrex X800 drone as a Christmas present for my son. He had a few drones picked out in his Amazon “cart” that seemed to be much more focused as a toy. I came across this one because it seemed to have better features compared to the others he selected and was a little more geared towards a starter drone and not just a cheap toy drone. He really wanted a drone with a camera and one you could use a phone with attached to the controller. This had that and seemed to be at a great price. When he opened this one up on Christmas, he couldn’t wait to try it out! This drone is a lot of fun and easy to setup. I installed the Simrex app on my phone and was able to connect easily without issue. I showed my son how to turn on the drone and connect the controller but I did help with the app startup and connection. The camera’s quality is actually better than expected. For this price range, you typically get 720p but this definitely looked 1080p as listed. We have flown the drone a few days and it is a blast. One of the days was fairly windy, so it did struggle to maintain a perfect position. This would be expected as wind impacts even more expensive drones. Having 2 batteries is nice. We get about 20 minutes of fly time for each battery. This does vary a little depending on aggressive you fly the drone. The controls are pretty subtle which I like for my son. What I mean is this drone isn’t too fast where it can get away from you pretty quickly if you don’t know what you are doing. I would say this is a great beginner’s drone as it gets you used to drone controls. My son did want it to zip around like the racing drones so he was a little disappointed at first. I told him this drone is more for fun and taking cool videos and photos. I showed him the flip mode and he was having the drone do front flips, back flips, and side flips all over the place. That is by far his favorite part. We have used the emergency stop function a few times and it has worked great! It has saved us from getting stuck in trees or crashing into solar panel roofs. You just have to make sure you really want the drone to stop because it will immediately shut off and come crashing down. We take the drone to a big grass park nearby so we are not concerned with the crash landings. It seems to hold up just fine landing in the grass. The are a few cons that I can think of… (1) The battery life, which is pretty much an issue with a lot of budget drones, at least you get 2 with this one! (2) The controller’s phone mounting adapter. The mounting clamp for the phone can be a little precarious which makes me worried as my son is running around chasing the drone that is flying through the air. It hasn’t fallen out yet, but I feel like it might just be a matter of time since the controller is so light and the phone is so heavy. I would take caution while using the controller with the phone and with kids holding the controller. Not a deal breaker if you use this responsibly, as you should with all drones. Overall I think this is a great beginner’s drone to get into the hobby and not have to worry about destroying expensive equipment as you learn. I am very pleased with it and I know my son loves it!

Sometimes I just can't help myself. I recently purchased the Simrex X3000C drone, and it was great. I had family over, and we had hours of fun flying it around the house and backyard. The only problem was my nephew liked the drone so much that he was on the verge of tears when he couldn't take it with him. So, wanting to share when I can, I bought him the Simrex X800 drone. He loves it. I mentioned this in my X3000C review, but if you are looking at drones, manage your expectations. These are good starter drones and are relatively inexpensive. They are meant to be used for entertainment purposes. Many of the reviews I have read try to compare these drones to much more expensive options. The camera is fun and clear enough to get some good shots. Don't expect 4K. Battery life is good, but don't expect to fly it for hours. The controls are great and intuitive. If you want something for the family to enjoy without breaking the bank, this drone is for you. Buy it and enjoy it around the house or backyard.

I had no experience trying to fly a drone prior to getting this Simrex x800 drone toy. The tldr - I'm hooked. I spent a few minutes examining the user's manual, which is brief but thorough enough. Pairing the remote, and installing and connecting the app were very straightforward. Flying was a breeze, in particular thanks to the optional "auto" modes for takeoff and landing. One button press, and the drone starts and hovers at about 1 meter. When you press the auto-land function, it gently sets itself down. Once lifted, the remote has controls to raise/lower, turn left/right, move forward/backward/left/right. After a few minutes, it's pretty easy to get the hang of. The photos and videos this drone takes are great - actually much better quality than I was expecting, given the price of the drone. One note: when you read in the description that it has an "adjustable 90-degree camera lens", that's true. However, you adjust it while you're holding the drone in your hand. While in flight, there's no remote control function to change the camera angle. That's probably obvious to more experienced fliers, but it wasn't to me. The battery life felt short to me...but you really do get the ~20 minutes they advertise. The problem is, it's so much fun to fly, that it *feels* like 5 minutes! It's no wonder you you don't get more time - the battery is necessarily feather-light. Have no fear however. Since Simrex includes two batteries, you can be charging one while flying with the other! Another nice touch is that Simrex also included a number of spare prop blades. I assume this is the part most often lost or damaged in a crash. So far I haven't needed a spare, but I'm glad they are included. Bottom line is this toy is loads of fun, and I can't wait to get it outside more. Snow has arrived where I live, and I'll probably wait until we get a little warmer weather before taking it outside again. I see that as I write this, there's an associated $10 coupon. I felt like it was a great deal when I got it, but at almost 20% less, it that much better. So much fun for so little money!

This is a good starter drone for people to use. The app was a bit confusing to setup but for the price of the item, it's definitely worth it. Using a drone is no easy task and with this, it gets you used to it. Connectivity was straightforward, once you get the hang of it. I took 1 star off for the app setup and that the drone is super light for it's size. One breeze and it just goes that direction. Video quality is adequate and gets the job done. Speed wise as well it's good. Overall would recommend the product for the price point.

Great quality. Powerful. Great price. Love it

Perfect starter drone which will be a great Christmas present for our kids. I wanted to get them a drone that was easy to use making it fun. Lots of drones were around this price bracket, but this stood out as a 1080p resolution (Full HD = 2,073,600 pixels) rather than the rest which were 720p (HD = 921,600) - so 2.25x the resolution AND the camera module on the underside can be angled from 0 (forward) to 90 (straight down). Both these features together enabled me to fly it outside and use it to inspect our flat roof for moss (you have to test these things before wrapping them up and putting them in the loft for Christmas). It was easy to connect to (just turn it on, find the WiFi NW it transmits and click "start" in the App. I used my phone as a controller outdoors and used it with the controller indoors and both work equally as well. As you can see from the video the drone is ever so slightly wobbly at roof height in the wind outside. So best for the kids to use indoors or outdoors on a calm day. It comes with a full spare set of rotor blades as accidents do happen and also comes with 2 batteries, so no arguments about taking turns as one for each of the kids! I'm sure they are going to love it :)

😎 I'm really impressed with this drone! 👍 Great quality product—I purchased it for 288 Saudi Riyals and it performs exceptionally well. The only downside was the delivery time, which took nearly 20 days. Faster shipping would make the overall experience perfect

Great drone and kids love it extra battery's are a bonus don't use in slight gusts of wind tho

Una stella perché non c'è l'opzione zero. Il drone è un giocattolo molto fragile, vola a fatica, non sta in equilibrio e cade spesso. Si rompe con facilità non essendo per nulla robusto. Il reso costa 38 euro perché arriva dall' Inghilterra, di manifattura cinese ( e si vede). Sconsiglio vivamente, prezzo assolutamente sproporzionato alla qualità.
