[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Sharper Image Drone with streaming camera is awesome!!! My son enjoys plays with the drone for hours. He loves being able to fly it around our backyard while recording images to share with his friends. It was easy to setup the app on an iPhone and start streaming. I would definitely recommend this drone to our friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this drone is great for beginners. It took a bit of getting used to, but once I got the hang of the remote, it was a cool drone to fly. I recommend flying this indoor if it a bit windy outside. This drove does not fly well in the wind. The remote takes 6 AA batteries. To charge your drone use the provide special USB cable. Once charging is complete, power up both devices and link the drone to the remote. The linking process was quite simple. On the remote, push the left joystick up and then down to link, That it! Lifting the drone off the ground was even easier. There is a special button on the remote marked ‘Take Off / Land’, when pressed, it will make the drone lifted off/land. Flying this drone was fun but the key thing is to get it to hover in position 1st when it takes off. To do this, there are trim adjustment button (Forward, Backward, Left, or Right). I recommend when it lift off, pay particular attention to which way it start to move toward. Land the drone using the special button. Place the drone back in original launch location and lift off again. If it starts to move in the same direction again, use the trim button to adjust accordingly. ONLY PRESS IT 1 PRESS AT A TIME! So, for example when it lifts off and start to hover backward toward you, I would press the ‘Forward’ button 1 press and if it still drifts back then slowly press 1 at a time until it stops. Same goes if it starts to drift forward, left, or right when taking off. Press the opposite directional button. Once you got it hover around in place then the fun begins! The drone has a build on camera. It not the best image but at least it an option. You can download the app from the app store to connect to the drone camera. I find that I didn’t really need the camera app, I had enough trouble flying this thing, looking directly at it, let along staring at the drones’ view thru the phone. 1 final advice. Don’t forget to turn drone switch to the off position, there is no idle auto shutoff. If for some reason you forgot like I did, your drone will drain completely. It will have to be recharge before you can start flying again! Enjoy! beginners!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a few questionable experiences with operating drones; they had a tendency to fly into trees and get stuck. I have to admit I am very pleased with Sharper Images Drone Mach 10in. It has a handy quick flight button which allows for easy takeoffs, an auto orientation feature as well as stable hover control, making this much more user friendly for someone like me. I like the camera quality as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never flew a drone before so I was not sure how this was going to go! First binding the drone to the controller, I used rechargeable batteries. Can't do that!! Fresh Duracells and binding was easy. There are videos to watch to learn how everything works and I watch all of them and that made my experience easier. I took off and trimmed the flight control and flew it around my house without doing too much damage!!! You use your phone and mount it to the controller to record videos. Now that I got a taste I might have to upgrade!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boys have been having a blast with this on our farm. It’s decently made, not too flimsy and it does what it says. I like that they’re not too expensive, so I can easily pick up a second to use along side. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is in order to stream, you need a good Wi-Fi and once you’re too far from the router you no longer stream, and or it’s choppy. Still a really cool drone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Drone to let my daughter play with. I help her with it but she does ok with it so far. She enjoys being outside so this is a great way to be outside with her. Hopefully this one will last a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to try this to view nature in a new way. I was able to download the app but I quickly lost connection. I will admit though that I have a cheap phone and I live practically in the middle of the woods. So sadly,I didn't have "drone view". I decided to fly it anyway. I know it has to be light to be aerodynamic but it's a very fragile thing. The company was thoughtful enough to include extra blades . Thank you! I had trouble controlling it. It's fast to react so the operator needs practice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone is Pretty cool. My daughter and I played with it for a pretty good while. The setup of it was easy and fast. Both of us were able to fly the drone without any issues. Connecting to the phone to see the video was quick and easy. The drone itself is rechargeable which I was hoping the controller would be as well well but unfortunately it is not. It requires 6 batteries in order to use the remote. Hopefully at some point There will be a new controller that will allow you to recharge instead of purchasing 6 batteries at a time. Play time I would say is around 20 minutes the before it needs to be recharged. It does last a decent amount of time but I would like to stay longer than 20 minutes.The drone itself is good quality works well, easy with for my daughter to play with and myself which is a plus. Some drones are are really hard to fly especially for kids but she had no issues no issues and picked up on it very quick. The video quality is actually a lot better than what I was expecting. It's not the most fantastic quality but it's still really good for What it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is pretty standard quality when it comes to drones of this size. It can withstand only so much. So I do recommend those with experience to test this product out for use or in a very open area to avoid trees and such. The streaming function does work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very cool drone and with a nice size camera. The controls are easy to use and instructions are simple to understand. Video quality of the camera is surprisingly good and the connection is great. Would recommend
