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

The media could not be loaded. 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!

Compact and easy to fly, this small drone is perfect for beginners and hobbyists. Stable flight, great camera quality, and portable design make it a fun and reliable choice.

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.

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.

As someone who’s never flown a drone before, the SIMREX X800 was a great way to get started. Setup was simple—just charge, power on, and go. The controls took a little getting used to, but with the help of a YouTube video, I was flying confidently in no time. Indoors or in calm weather, it flies smoothly, and the optical flow positioning really helps it hover steadily. I’ve had a few minor crashes into trees and grass, but the drone held up surprisingly well. The emergency stop function has been a lifesaver for avoiding serious mishaps. It’s lightweight, so it does drift a bit in the wind, but it’s still manageable with practice.The camera isn't professional-grade, but for the price, it captures decent 1080P footage with a wide view. I used it to inspect over 300 feet of gutter in one session, and the two included batteries provided about 40 minutes of total flight time—more than enough for casual flying. Thoughtful features like low power alerts and out-of-range protection add extra peace of mind. Overall, the X800 is an affordable, beginner-friendly drone that's both fun and practical. If you're new to drones and want something simple and durable to learn on, this is a great place to start.

This is nice portable drone with foldable design. Pretty easy to use, just need install battery, connect to the smart phone and you can go. This drone have a altitude stabilizator which help to non-experienced control flight. Simrex X800 has wi-fi connection to your smart phone which allowed you to see real time video and get pictures. Price is very low, when you pay this money you expect to have nothing, but this drone is very friendly and give you chance to learning basic flying skills. Awesome device for beginners like me and I recommend it as a first drone.
