Drone for Beginners X708W Wi-Fi FPV Training Quadcopter with HD Camera Equipped with Headless Mode One Key Return Easy Operation

The first drone I bought was a toy drone from a different vendor. The remote control sticks broke twice before I gave up and ordered a Drocon Bugs 3. The Bugs 3 is a fantastic second drone but I have to fly it in a large open field because it’s so fast. I wanted a drone I could fly in my backyard. That’s when I discovered the Drocon Cyclone. While it’s technically a toy drone, if you learn to fly this drone you will be able to fly any drone. It is very agile and fast enough for my backyard. The radio control is the same unit as the Bugs 3 and the sticks work exactly the same. The big difference in these drones is the left stick, or throttle which makes the drone move it up and down. The throttle does not self-center as it does on many toy drones. This is how the throttle will operate on hobby grade remotes. If one learns to fly with this type of remote first, moving up to better remotes will be a snap. Also the Drocon customer service is amazing. I accidently lost my Cyclone when I went too high in by backward. Once above above the trees, a gust of strong wind blew it away (that’s why it is not in my picture). Even though it was my mistake, Drocon offered to replace my Cyclone under the warranty. In summary, Drocon Cyclone - great first drone or additional drone, Drocon Bugs 3 – fantastic second drone or first drone with brushless motors, Drocon – excellent customer service and products.

The drone is very light but sturdy and is good for anyone who wants to give drone flying a try. It is very easy to assemble and a screwdriver is included in the box. You just need a set of 4 AA batteries for the remote control. Propeller guards are provided to protect the propellers from crashes. A set of 4 replacement propellers is also provided. The remote control comes with a detachable phone mount and a companion Android/iOS app that can be used to hold your phone and view the video from the HD camera in the front.Initially it was hard to control and I crashed it few times before I got a hang of it and could fly it well. Even though it looks flimsy, it is actually quite sturdy and there was no damage from the crashes. If you are flying from a grass field, I'd recommend placing it on a raised surface so that the propellers are free to turn. I did not try the view from the HD camera as the Android app is not from the Google play store (but the iOS app is on iTunes) and has to be installed from an apk.

I love this Drocon Drone. I am a STEM professor, so I am a techhy for life. I was dying for a drone. I was elated to receive this last evening. Being techhy I thought I would be flying it out of the box. Being a teacher I chose to take the time and absorb the instructions and FFC regulations. I am a stickler for compliance and I live in a retirement community so it is essential to compliant, so I did not rush. I read all the instructions and this drone comes with a lot of great features and spare parts, you can reasonably order batteries and extra propellers.I read some reviews about mishaps so I decided to go out to a good clear open space even though I live on a golf course. I am still learning to become a dronexpert. I think I am hooked though. What I most like about Drocon Drone is the Wifi capability that lets you attach you smartphone and view aerial action in real time. If you are a newbie like myself I highly recommend this Drocon Drone. Its not too complicated but planning, charging, configuring are all good ideas for your long term pleasure. The instructions are great, the support is outstanding and the company offers lots of incentives in the box. I am trying to give you everything I have because I read reviews avidly before I buy. I could not be more pleased.

The battery doesn't last very long, and it doesn't fly very well. I flew it with a small wind, and it didn't do great. But I don't expect much more from a $50 drone. I do like the design, and that it has guards for the propellers. You definitely want to get at least one more battery unless you only want to fly it for a couple of minutes at a time.

At first unboxing, it was packed very wellIt came with all the spare parts you would expect and needAssembly was easy enough. Just putting the bumpers on. Although if you have large or unsteady hands you might have a little trouble (the screws are extremely small)Once I got it going the first flight I terrorized my cats. The second flight was outside and honestly the range on this drone is better than I’ve ever seenI have had a couple of drones in the past and controlling them was never easy for me but this drone is by far the easiest I’ve had. The controls are not quite as tight as others (which is great especially for beginners). Your not going to take someone’s head off at the slightest touch.The camera works far better than expected. The picture is great (nice and clear)The construction quality is very good I’ve crashed it a few times and not a scratch it seems to be built with beginners in mind but nice enough for experts to really enjoy tooThe phone holder is extremely stable and was big enough to easily accommodate my I phone x. I don’t see any size phone having a problem.Overall I’m extremely pleased with this drone and I highly recommend it

My son wanted this drone and saved up all of his allowances to buy it. When he finally had enough money he was happy. We had no problems with the shipping and it only took two days. When he opened it and put it together it wasn't even charged, so we plugged it in overnight. He woke up the next morning and played with it but one side wouldnt even come up off the ground! it was not dropped either. After 10 minutes the battery died and he plugged it in this time for 24 hours because my initial thought was that maybe it needed a bit more time to get fully charged. Nope, it still died in 10 minutes and couldn't even get off the ground. Dont waste your money on this. Returning it now.
