Sky Viper Dash Nano Drone

This is just a fun, silly, little toy. I bought this as a gift for my 37 year old adult brother. It's cheap and fun. We set up a little obstacle course and took turns seeing who could make it through without crashing. With some practice you can actually fly this thing really well.Its great for flying indoors. It's pretty durable- I try to be be careful with it but have hit walls and the ceiling with no issues yet.Battery life is pretty short. Not a problem or a surprise. The drone is so tiny that you can only fit a tiny battery on it.Probably an okay purchase for smaller children? It doesn't have any 'training wheels' so to speak, so it might actually be difficult for them. A teenager who plays video games would instantly become very good at flying this.

While we were Christmas shopping, I bought one of these for myself at Target. I haven't ever flown a drone before and this was small and cheap enough to not be intimidating to try.I loved it. Became obsessed with it. I was flying it all around the house constantly. On NYE I was flying it around while friends were over, and then I crashed it, got distracted, forgot about it, and lost it. Couldn't find it anywhere! Drove me crazy looking for it and figured it would turn up eventually. My patience was thin so I ordered another one on Amazon.Anyway tonight I'm flying the new one around while my cat is running around trying to bat at it (great enrichment for the both of us) and I end up crashing into a wall and the drone falls behind a bookcase. I go to grab it and there were two there! I'm thrilled I found the one I lost by crashing the new one in the exact same spot.It handles well. Sport mode is a ton of fun. My cat loves it. I love it. I wish the battery would last a bit longer than it does but it is understandable for its size. It doesn't take that long to charge up anyway. And now that I have two, once one is dead I just pull the other off the charger and continue flying.Very impressed and makes me want to explore other drones. This one feels like an excellent starter to get the hang of how they handle before committing to a larger more expensive one.

This thing is great. Super maneuverability. A lot of fun to fly.2 things I don't like...When the battery dies I'm never done playing with it. It only lasts 5 to 10 minutes, but it's so small, I can't complain. I might buy another to solve this.Also, when it hits something it goes berserk, bouncing off walls at lightening speed, so one crash turns into a lot of crashes. You can power it down by holding the stunt button, but it doesn't turn off fast enough. I feel it's a big enough issue that it should have a dedicated off button or even a crash sensor. It's very small and light so even when it's going berserk it shouldn't do too much damage. I doubt it would break a TV screen for example. I'm not going to test that tho.It's a lot of fun and at a reasonable price even with these minor issues.Highly recommended!

a fun little drone, having a great time playing with the cats.

I build and program all sorts of drones, from trainers for my grandkids to photo/mapping drones, acro/freestyle, racing, and high lift drones.I saw this little guy and it's claims and I bought it, knowing I would be disappointed.But... Wow! So much fun! You put it in sport mode and max speed and it's a diminutive BEAST!IT zips around like a turbocharged hummingbird. I'm a retired airline captain and a former fighter pilot, and one of my good friends is also into drones and a former fighter pilot. We established similar rules to those we had in fast jets, and began a good old fashioned dog fight, lol. It's a lot of fun! We frequently engage in some drone to drone combat while our families are picnicing or something together, driving our wives insane, lol. It looks and sounds as if we're being attacked by rabid hummingbirds or perhaps prehistoric honey bees!Seriously, the speed and maneuverability of these little guys is hard to believe! The controls are very positive and well balanced, so if you start off on the slowest setting with the least aggressive control response and fly until you're bored before increasing one of the elements by one level, by the time you reach top speed and high maneuverability, you'll have it mastered.You will not regret it!The one and only drawback is that the battery is not removable. When the battery is dead you have to wait for it to recharge. It lasts a good while and charges quickly, and they're cheap, so buy two for each person so you can cycle them.

I’m sure these are as high of quality as other sky viper drones, but they were purchased specifically and solely due to the statements and pictures on the listing indicating they could be switched from “auto” to “manual” mode. The items received have the same mode selection button but labeled as “auto” and “sport” mode, which just reduces the limits on the throttle and lateral controls. I verified that both the older and newer models had this listed. My son is torn between keeping them or returning them. The incorrect listing sadly caused my birthday gift to him to be lackluster rather than just what he had wanted.

I'm very impressed by this drone, is very tiny but flyies very smooth. Nice handling, plus very responsive and if you put it on sports mode is so much fun. Very agile and fast for its size. I have had many micro and small drones and this one is my favorite so far.Only bad thing might be that is does not have propeller guards so if you crash it very often you might wreck it very easy. So be careful and don't switch it to sports mode until you're confident you can fly it very well.
