SIMREX Drone with Camera 1080P, One Key Start, Waypoint Flying, Headless Mode, Auto Follow, 3D Flip, 3 Speeds, Remote Control for Children and Adults, Black

Great quality. Powerful. Great price. Love it

I bought the Simrex X800 drone as a Christmas present for my son. He had a few drones picked out in his Amazon “cart” that seemed to be much more focused as a toy. I came across this one because it seemed to have better features compared to the others he selected and was a little more geared towards a starter drone and not just a cheap toy drone. He really wanted a drone with a camera and one you could use a phone with attached to the controller. This had that and seemed to be at a great price. When he opened this one up on Christmas, he couldn’t wait to try it out! This drone is a lot of fun and easy to setup. I installed the Simrex app on my phone and was able to connect easily without issue. I showed my son how to turn on the drone and connect the controller but I did help with the app startup and connection. The camera’s quality is actually better than expected. For this price range, you typically get 720p but this definitely looked 1080p as listed. We have flown the drone a few days and it is a blast. One of the days was fairly windy, so it did struggle to maintain a perfect position. This would be expected as wind impacts even more expensive drones. Having 2 batteries is nice. We get about 20 minutes of fly time for each battery. This does vary a little depending on aggressive you fly the drone. The controls are pretty subtle which I like for my son. What I mean is this drone isn’t too fast where it can get away from you pretty quickly if you don’t know what you are doing. I would say this is a great beginner’s drone as it gets you used to drone controls. My son did want it to zip around like the racing drones so he was a little disappointed at first. I told him this drone is more for fun and taking cool videos and photos. I showed him the flip mode and he was having the drone do front flips, back flips, and side flips all over the place. That is by far his favorite part. We have used the emergency stop function a few times and it has worked great! It has saved us from getting stuck in trees or crashing into solar panel roofs. You just have to make sure you really want the drone to stop because it will immediately shut off and come crashing down. We take the drone to a big grass park nearby so we are not concerned with the crash landings. It seems to hold up just fine landing in the grass. The are a few cons that I can think of… (1) The battery life, which is pretty much an issue with a lot of budget drones, at least you get 2 with this one! (2) The controller’s phone mounting adapter. The mounting clamp for the phone can be a little precarious which makes me worried as my son is running around chasing the drone that is flying through the air. It hasn’t fallen out yet, but I feel like it might just be a matter of time since the controller is so light and the phone is so heavy. I would take caution while using the controller with the phone and with kids holding the controller. Not a deal breaker if you use this responsibly, as you should with all drones. Overall I think this is a great beginner’s drone to get into the hobby and not have to worry about destroying expensive equipment as you learn. I am very pleased with it and I know my son loves it!

Perfect starter drone which will be a great Christmas present for our kids. I wanted to get them a drone that was easy to use making it fun. Lots of drones were around this price bracket, but this stood out as a 1080p resolution (Full HD = 2,073,600 pixels) rather than the rest which were 720p (HD = 921,600) - so 2.25x the resolution AND the camera module on the underside can be angled from 0 (forward) to 90 (straight down). Both these features together enabled me to fly it outside and use it to inspect our flat roof for moss (you have to test these things before wrapping them up and putting them in the loft for Christmas). It was easy to connect to (just turn it on, find the WiFi NW it transmits and click "start" in the App. I used my phone as a controller outdoors and used it with the controller indoors and both work equally as well. As you can see from the video the drone is ever so slightly wobbly at roof height in the wind outside. So best for the kids to use indoors or outdoors on a calm day. It comes with a full spare set of rotor blades as accidents do happen and also comes with 2 batteries, so no arguments about taking turns as one for each of the kids! I'm sure they are going to love it :)

I was impressed with the SIMREX X800 mini drone. For its compact size and affordable price, it packs a punch! As a beginner, I found it easy to learn and operate. We got it during christmas time for the kids and they love it. -The foldable design is neat -It's lightweight -The added RGB lights are nice -The 1080P camera delivers decent image quality for a drone in this price range, and the adjustable lens is pretty cool -The altitude hold and optical flow positioning is really useful -The one-key start/landing is another good feature -360° flips add a bit of excitement ;) -The 3-speed adjustment allows you to tailor the drone's responsiveness to your skill level -We found each battery provided about 20 minutes of flight time (you get 2 batteries) -best suited for indoor use or calm outdoor conditions, which is ideal for beginners and kids to be honest If you're looking for a budget-friendly drone that delivers a lot of value, the SIMREX X800 is definitely worth considering. Highly recommended!

I’m really impressed with the SIMREX Drone with 1080P Camera! As someone fairly new to drones, I found this model incredibly beginner-friendly. The one-key start/landing and headless mode make it super easy to control, even for kids or first-time flyers. The 1080P camera delivers surprisingly clear video and photos for a drone in this price range. It’s great for capturing fun aerial shots and exploring from above. The auto-follow and waypoint fly features are awesome additions that make flying feel more advanced and interactive. I also love the foldable design—it’s compact and easy to carry around. The 3 speed modes let you adjust the difficulty as you get more confident, and the 3D flip function adds a fun twist to flights. Plus, having two batteries included means more flying time with less waiting. Overall, this drone is a fantastic value for the price. It’s packed with features, easy to use, and a lot of fun for both kids and adults. Highly recommended for beginners or anyone looking for a reliable, affordable drone!
