It broke easily and am good with drones. I was wondering if I could have an exchange of the drone.

Battery life is extremely low but like the quality of drone. I would rate it higher with a better battery

It was ok...but very flimsy

Headless mode not working

Fun drone works well, takes decent pictures in the right lighting prolly wouldn't recommend it for a first drone after a couple wall hits my new drone was inoperable, ended up returning it

I give this three stars because I only had limited time with it. This was my first outing with a drone and I guess I expected it to perform like a RC car. Of course RC cars and drones are worlds apart. This little guy did what it was designed to do. It performed as it was intended to do as well. Only problem is I didn't realize how vulnerable drones are to wind. And when you get down to the mini drones they're REALLY vulnerable. Add that with spotty wifi behind my house and you've got a recipe for disaster. My maiden launch turned out to be my fairwell launch as I watched this guy slowly ascend in my backyard...as it got higher and higher it started to drift in the direction of the wind. Frantically I tried to steer using my smartphone. To my horror I looked at my phone only to see my wifi had dropped! And as I looked up all I could see is the tailend of this drone heading towards the highway, eventually disappearing. I got into my car and headed in the same direction hoping for a miracle, only to find disgust...nothing. It had a full charge so it's probablly 1 mile away at that point, crossing dozens of neighbor's properties.

My advice to any novice, read up, watch youtube, practice in your garage (as I later did with my second drone). My 2nd drone at least has a two speed 'drive' which does well in mild wind (UDI RC 818A HD..it also has a 'return to home' built in). In any event-good luck to you!

Pictures are poor quality. Hold does not work even with the drone trimmed completely out. Drone drifts uncontrollably and breaks extremely easily... I've already had to purchase new arms and blades...

I received this drone as a gift for Father's Day. I was so excited to fly it! I downloaded the app and took it outside to fly it. I briefly began reading through the directions, but the words were very small. While I had my thinoptics (most convenient reading glasses I ever bought!) in my pocket attached to my phone, I was too excited to pull them out and really read the directions. I gave the directions to my daughter and figured out how to start the drone and was able to get it up in flying with relative ease. I was trying to figure out the controls when it almost ran into the house behind me! I was able to just miss it as I gained altitude! Phew! As it gained altitude it began flying further away from me. I tried to stop it and turn it around, but it just kept flying further and further away without responding to the controls! I watched it as it flew through the back yards of my neighbors homes and eventually out of sight. I was no longer connected to the wifi. My son took off to try and locate it and I went around the block refreshing my wifi to see if it would re-connect, but to no avail. My drone had flown the coop! It was a lot of fun for the 1 minute that I had it flying, but all I am left with is the box and instructions!

It hard to keep centered in the air. It's seem to be a software thing. Have not been able to have fun with it yet. I wouldn't buy one for a friend.

Still learning how to calibrate it..

Still having problems getting it going.

For a toy drone it was really easy to fly,sad part after charging the battery post first flight use this takes 15-20 per charge one of the motors was not spinning as fast as the other 4,It would not turn left to right but with 3 motors it still fly or lift up and down off the ground.
So it was easy to return,overall it's a amazing drone for what you pay,I be re ordering one shortly.

This product is okay. It takes a lot of practice to navigate.

Neat drone for the money, but it is very hard to keep it stable, let alone take selfies using it.

For the money, it's okay but still expected a little more in the way of stability.

The price is too high. I bought this product on Banggood for $35.00, other than that, I like the product. The only thing is it doesn't do well in the wind.

Unboxing
The box is slightly larger than a dollar bill in length and was taped shut. Inside the quadcopter set in a plastic tray. Under the tray was the storage bag, spare props, screwdriver, USB charger, and small instruction manual. The quadcopter was secure and undamaged and the small items were in a self-sealing plastic bag.
The arms are folded into the quadcopter and the 1S lipo was installed. I find it very concerning that manufacturers are sending r/c aircraft with lipos installed and connected. An accidental bump that can cause the aircraft to turn on will cause the lipo to puff and possible explode. I'd much rather see safer handling by having the lipo in its own compartment within the box.

Charging:
The manual states charge time is about 2 hours. This is typical of these little 1S USB chargers. I found the first charge took this long, but after that flying down to LVC (low voltage cutoff) the charge time is closer to an hour. Charging is simple, plug USB charger into the laptop or wall wart, plug battery into the charger. The light on the charger will turn off when done charging.

JJRC App
The Elfie flies via Wi-Fi controls using the JJRC app. I installed the app via Google Play Store without issue. While the battery charges, be sure to read the manual on the app controls. I found the app to be cluttered on such a small screen. So cluttered that a button icon will hide/expand more buttons and trim tabs. I found I used just a handful of buttons on the app.
To use the app first turn on flight sticks by pressing the off/on icon accordingly. This puts sticks and easy throttle controls (start, stop, emergency stop) buttons on the screen.

Flight
Once charged plug the lipo in accordingly. Press the power button on top of the quadcopter. This will cause the lights on the quadcopter to flash at a fast rate. Now connect your phone to the Wi-Fi signal being broadcast by the Elfie. Open the app and connect.
Once the controlling device is connected to the quadcopter, you will see the video feed on the phone via the app. To take off press the up arrow to start the motors then push the left stick up. To land press the down arrow, this will cause a decent and once on the ground stop the motors. To kill the motors instantly, press the red stop sign.
The app starts you off in 30% rate mode (as noted by the 30 icon). Pressing the icon will cycle you through 60 and 100% settings. At 30% rating the quadcopter felt lethargic to me and the yaw input seemed very mechanical, so much so I couldn't get the nose to point exactly where I wanted. Being an experienced r/c pilot once I got used to the touch screen sticks I moved up to 100% and was surprised to find the quadcopter to be a little sporty.
Since this quadcopter is billed as a selfie drone

Other reviewers here seem to think at this price point, you're going to get all the features and quality of an expensive Quad like a Yuneec Breeze (which I own) or a Zerotech Dobby. For what I paid for this, it's a fun little toy. The site I purchased this from advertised it as having 480p resolution. It's actually a little better than that, but not quite 720p. I took a couple of indoor photos at night with 100% artificial lighting. I've had Camera Phones take worse pictures than the JJRC H37. I attached some pictures and information on the photo file. Is a fun little toy and easy to set up. Flying takes some practice and I have yet to take it outside. I'll update this review with some more pictures and information after I get to play with it outdoors.

5 FEB 2017 Update: I'm dropping a star as the outdoor video and pictures are not really that great. It's still a fun toy to fly with for the price and I'm not returning it. Perhaps the model with the 720p HD Camera would be a better choice? I just didn't like pike color on that one which was the only color available at the time. It appears a few more models and labels have popped up since I ordered this.
