Description: This tiny drone is perfect for indoor Winter flying by beginner pilots. You'll have plenty of experience by Spring, and should be ready for more aggressive drones. Find this drone here bit.ly/4D-V5 Pros - Fully stabilized, very easy to fly drone. Should also be suitable for kids, I'm guessing 10 or older. - Available in blue or orange colors, with or without camera (camera version is $9 more), and with additional batteries available at time of purchase. - Has bright LED colored prop guard. Looks great indoors, making the drone very easy to see. - Has many flight features including altitude hold, auto takeoff and landings, auto spin, auto funnels, flips, one key return, and headless mode. - 3.7V modular battery provides about 5 1/2 minutes of flight time per charge. - The camera version includes FPV capability. Real time in flight video may be viewed on your smartphone using the 4D_Fly app available on Google Play here bit.ly/4D_Fly_Play and the Apple App Store here apple.co/33uIjUh. The app uses common 2.4Ghz WiFi, and should be suitable for most smartphones. Cons - Not a great outdoor flier. The propeller guard can adversely affect the flight performance if there's any wind. - When using the provided charger, first plug the charger into a USB port without an installed battery to verify that the charger's light comes on. Then plug the battery into the charger, and verify that the light goes off indicating charging (the light will come back on when the battery is fully charged). Note that if the charger is not properly seated within the USB port, the light may illuminate under the battery's power, giving a false indication that the battery is fully charged. - The FPV video range is relatively short at about 20 meters. Video may momentarily freeze if you fly further than this distance. Affiliate links: At no cost to you, I do receive a small commission for sales resulting from these links.
