This drone is really simply to use, you can learn how to fly it easily and fast, about the design that it look nice and suit comfortably in your hand. It comes with the box, include the USB for charging, no console for control, you have to download the app. The manual guide is full of instructions, you can be able to understand and set the drone up easily. This drone is really good, you can also recorde the video or take the picture throught the camera on this drone, it is also have 360 degree flip, enough feature like the other drones. The Batteries is just about 500 mAh, you would probably can play it in 20mins. This is such a good drone and really worthy.

This drone is very awesome !! Easy to fly love it. It is very compact, light and easy mobility, you can even put it into your pocket. It's portable and easy to take anywhere. It was quick to set up with the phone app for controlling. The app works well with iphone 6. The drone is pretty stable and it can take more than a few hits. The drone is equipped with a camera that is capable of taking video and still shots of your flights. the camera quality 2 MP is also good. the camera is stable and clear. It takes good picture and video. I have posted one of the pictures taken from the drone. It gives 5-6 flight time, so i will be buying more battery for this drone. Its a great beginner quadcopter, a great mini quadcopter. I will recommend this even for beginners it is so easy to use . Have Fun Flying!

Exellent little drone, the latency on the wifi is not half bad. The included felt puch is really nice and makes it safer to throw it on a bag. The drone is pretty stable and it can take more than a few hits.

This is a great drone! It functions like stated and the user manual thoroughly explains the process of how to setup the drone. This drone uses WiFi to connect to your phone and NOT Bluetooth! The drone lasts up to probably 15 minutes of play time before it starts lowering and later dies. The battery is very easy to use and also very easy to charge. It comes with its own adapter where you plug in the battery into a USB. There is a LED indicator on the USB that shows if it is charging and if it is done. The camera quality is decent, not something top-notch but is very responsive and provides an image that is decently viewable on your smartphone.

What a great little drone, literally tiny
Same size as my iPhone 6 Plus
Easy to setup, lots of fun
This is my first drone so I'm still new but this is very entertaining
Instructions are easy to understand, the drone is lightweight, camera on it is ok
But I bought this as a fun toy, it seems fragile but in the 15 minutes of learning I hit the walls inside my house pretty hard haha and it's still fine
I love that this package gives you a carrying case, charger and extra propellers
The drone fits in a pocket (big pocket)
I highly recommend this to a person looking to try a drone for the first time or just a fun toy that's compact

Amazing drone for the price. Easily fold-able and will easily fit inside your pockets. Motors are lot powerful than I had expected. Will easily hold itself against mild winds. Has good battery life and also the wifi connection is very stable. It will never easily disconnect. Also the camera in it is pretty good. Was really very easy to take pictures and videos from the app. Definitely a good buy.

I own multiple drones but this one has proven to be the best in one very important aspect for beginners. The camera on it is not the best that I have seen but is still a very good camera and records very well. I really like the portability that this drone offers. The drone itself is about the size of my hand and can easily fit into my back pocket. So far, this drone has proven to be the best with crashes that I have seen in a drone. The propellers fold inside of the drone which is definitely the best feature! I have crashed it several times and every time it hit something, the propellers were safe and just folded back in. Because of this excellent feature, I was able to let my daughter use it as a beginner. Even with all of the bumps it has taken, it is still in perfect condition. The drone came with spare propellers, but I still haven’t had to change any of them. This was definitely an awesome purchase!

First off let me say I am an amateur drone operator. So my review is not based on an expert operator, just a normal geek. I've been wanting to get one for a long time and have looked at many different models. So I did quite a bit of reading about the different ones.
So about 6 weeks ago I decided on this Elfie by JJRC. Mainly because after doing quite a bit of research I learned that JJRC is a serious and well-respected drone manufacturer. They make some incredible (and high-end) drones, but they also make models for beginners like me. But also because this has a very cool HD video camera built in.
What I found out is that even though this Elfie is perfect for someone like me just starting out, it would also satisfy the advance and experience drone operators. I know this for a fact because my friend who has many high-end drones was using this with me and said he loved it. He said it had all the cool features and abilities that expensive drones have.
The main point about this particular drone is that it's the world's smallest drone. It literally fits in my shirt pocket! And it's designed to take selfies... which I guess is why this model is called Elfie .
It's unbelievably super easy to get it set up and get started. First of all, when I opened up the box, everything I needed was there... the Elfie drone, a nice soft velvet storage bag, 4 extra propeller blades, a rechargeable 500mAh rechargeable battery, a micro USB card reader, a USB power charger, and of course a really detailed owner's manual. I also needed to download the app which becomes the controller for the Elfie. The app is available on both Google Play or iTunes.
The way this is controlled I think it's pretty unique. It's not a done the uses RF or anything like that.... it uses WiFi! This Elfie drone actually transmits a WiFi signal, so I simply sign on to that Wi-Fi signal with my phone. Once my phone is signed onto the Elfie's WiFi, it instantly becomes the controller!
Now my phone is connected to the drone directly and I'm able to control it, download pictures, take HD videos, and take selfies of course!
This has a lot of features and technology that is very valuable to a beginner like me. First of all, I can limit the height so it will never go over a certain height. I can have it automatically follow me so it won't fly away. Also, I can limit the power so it operates slower. When I'm operating the Elfie I can actually see the video on my phone in real time. So I can actually see what the drones seeing while looking at my phone. And the HD video this takes is pretty amazing. And it's super simple. It records video and high definition and also takes high quality still images.
I've been using this way more than I thought I would over the last few weeks. And although it's fun to use in the house, I highly recommend not doing that. You need a lot more space to truly control it properly. I also highly recommend practicing with it for a few hours before you try to do any crazy tricks. After a few hours of using it, it becomes a lot easier to control.
I love it! Lot's of fun and I love taking aerial video and photos! So I highly recommend it.

Very nice fordable drone. When it is folded it becomes very small that it can even fit in my pocket. I would have preferred if it came with a remote control but it works ok with the phone app. Over all built quality is decent. It came with extra propellers so now I am not as worried about damaging them since I have alternatives. Front and back lights look very cool. Front lights are actually pretty bright. Th camera quality is very much(better than any other drone I have seen around this price range). It is a great deal for beginners.

I very happy for this purchase. You can make picture and video, even you can control by your phone. It will work 100 feet around . The connection with my Samsung Galaxy was very quick. The camera is decent for it's size and overall takes pretty good video. The spare parts that are included are really great.

This is a really fun mini drone!
Well, first off, this is a pocket drone so it was actually smaller than I thought from the pictures.
I was able to charge up the battery with the included USB adapter.
Would have been nice if the battery accepted micro USB input.
After downloading the app, I was able to pair up the drone and my phone and within 10 minutes I had it flying all around the yard.
Range is pretty good. Flying time was just under 10 minutes so I might suggest getting some backup batteries that were also pretty cheap.
Pictures are pretty sharp. I had some issues with the video, but that might have been my phone acting up so I'll have to test that part later.
For the money, I think it's well worth it and a lot of fun.

Wow! This is super light. Which tells me it can fly for longer times, but also is more vulnerable in wind. Even though it is light, it is build for minor crashes. It also comes with spare gears and propellers in case you break any. The arms will fold in for easy transport and storage, but will also fold in instead of breaking sitting a crash. I have a racing drone with folding arms, and it has survived many crashes because of it. So far I have only had hard landings on grass, but you can barely even see any cosmetic damage. If you do need to change a propeller, look closely at the underside. They are labeled, and you should replace them with the propeller with the same numbers. It matters because each proper spins different directions in order to make the drone more stable and prevent it from being in a constant rotation. It only has range for as far as you WiFi signal can reach. I found that getting away from homes and businesses will increase the range because of less interference. It is a little tricky to get used to at first, but it has a lot of features to help make it easier. As you get better at it, you can change setting to make it faster and able to do more advanced tricks. The video quality it great and easy to see even though all the buttons and controlls are overlayed on the screen. It is kind of nice because you can see the controlls and what your drone sees without having to look away. You can take pictures and video that save directly to your phone. So if you do lose the drone, you will still have the pictures and video at least. It has options to return to you and to face you for a selfie, so somehow it is smart enough to know were you are without GPS. It can also hold its elevation, which is nice because I tend to over or under power my bigger drone and cause it to dip into the ground or gradually climb until I can't see it. This drone does not dip during directional flight, which mades it much easier to control and prevent crashing. It has headlights and taillights to make it easier to know which way is forward, but also helps you know the status such as wireless connection, calibration, and low battery. This is a very fun toy that takes great pictures, and it is very inexpensive. It came with a bag to help protect it. It is small enough that you can easily carry it in your pants pocket so that you can have it with you whenever you want. I have also found that you can buy spare parts and extra batteries and chargers if you need or want them. If you want to take great selfies or just learn to fly drones, this is a great way to get started in the hobby without losing a lot of money by crashing a new expensive drone. Start with this and them move up to the big toys.

I've seen and used many different kinds of drones. I've used the large DJI phantom, and smaller FPV drones marketed as selfie drones. They're all touted as pocket drones. This is the first drone i've seen that is literally capable of fitting into your pocket. I could not believe how small this was. The battery will give you an 8 minute flight and you can quickly recharge it and be off again.
I like the headless mode , and the flip function. My favorite is probably the one touch landing and that it will land on its own if the battery runs low. Not all drones include spare parts and for those to be included with this is a huge plus - especially at the price.
I prefer using a remote control because they generally have better battery life and improved range performance over a cellphone but given the context - that this is supposed to be ultra portable and to be used on the go whenever you want to - want to worry about as few parts as possible - the drone itself and your cellphone. You're ready to fly.

I'm a beginning drone flyer, but I absolutely love playing with these things. I found this little pocket drone and decided to give it a shot. It came with a 500mAh battery, spare props and gears, USB charger, carrying sleeve, and instructions. The build on this is pretty good. It's not cheap plastic like I was expecting and seems pretty sturdy. I'm not very good at flying, so it has certainly taken a beating and kept flying. You control it by downloading some software to your smartphone and use it as the controller. It took awhile to get used to it, but I was able to fly it around pretty good after just a little while. It uses a wireless connection to control the drone from your smartphone, and surprisingly, it held good and I didn't have any reception issues. I've had a lot of fun with this drone, even though I'm still learning how to fly these things. Due to it's low price, this is a good way to get your feet wet with flying drones without putting in a huge investment.

We've heard a lot about drones and being available in the marketplace, however, this is the first drone that I've ever owned and I'm super pleased and excited with it.
-it's a great gadget to keep kids entertained and to keep myself entertained
-The look and feel of it is actually pretty nice
-you'll be the envy of all your friends and neighbors
-you need to play around with it to get the hang of it
-easily download it onto your phone and control it from there
- The images you get from the camera or not bad
-I have a few trips coming up that love to be able to use this in the open landscape, but I'm going to practice in my backyard before I do, so I can have good control and know it's limits
-I can imagine if you have teenagers or young individuals who are excited about technology this will also make a really, really cool gift

This drone comes with the drone, a battery for the drone, an instruction manual, spare propellers and a USB stick which is used to charge the battery and transfer photos and videos. Inside the manual there is is a QR code. The set up of the drone is extremely easy and the app is extremely well made. In addition, the drone itself is very durable. I am a terrible pilot and I crashed the drone tons of times but it still works and there are only a few scratches. The best part about his drone is he portability. It folds into the size of a phone and I can easily bring it around in my pocket.
