- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024Color: Dark GreyVerified PurchaseWe absolutely love this drone! It has been an incredible addition to our family activities, especially for capturing memories of our kids' baseball and football games. The video quality is outstanding, providing clear and vibrant footage that really brings their games to life.
My kids are thrilled with how easy it is to operate. The intuitive controls and stability of the drone make it perfect for beginners. They've had so much fun learning to fly it and exploring different angles for their game recordings. It's become a family favorite, with everyone excited to see the amazing aerial shots after each game.
The drone's battery life is impressive, allowing us to capture entire matches without needing to recharge frequently. Plus, its durability has been put to the test with some rough landings, and it has held up remarkably well.
Overall, this drone has exceeded our expectations and brought a new level of excitement and fun to our family events. It's a fantastic investment for anyone looking to capture unforgettable moments from a unique perspective. Highly recommend!

Now let's talk about performance. The little beast packs a punch. The flights' stability is impressive and the controls are responsive I'm no expert pilot but the S29 made me feel like one. The altitude hold function works like a charm allowing me to focus on capturing breathtaking aerial shots without worrying about maintaining the right height.
Speaking of shots, the camera quality exceeded my expectations. No, not National Geographic quality but decent enough. The HD camera delivers crisp and clear footage and captures a generous field of view.
The battery life is decent giving me around 20 minutes of flight time of course I'd always love more but it's a fair trade-off considering the drone's size and weight lucky it comes with an extra battery.
Another thing worth mentioning is the durability I've had my fair share of accidental crashes but the S29 has held up surprisingly well. The build quality is sturdy and the propellers are flexible enough to withstand minor bumps.
In conclusion, the S29 Foldable Drone is a fantastic gadget for both beginners and seasoned drone enthusiasts. Its foldable design, ease of use, decent camera, and overall performance make it a solid choice for anyone looking to explore the skies. Happy droning!
5.0 out of 5 starsOkay so I recently got my hands on the S29 Foldable Drone and it was quite a ride. First thing first, the design makes it easy for portability I can easily slip the provided case into my backpack and take it wherever my adventure leads. Setting it up was a breeze. Even for someone like me who's not exactly a Tech wizard, the S29 had a straightforward setup process. Within minutes I was ready to take to the skies.GREAT LITTLE STARTER DRONE!

The controller seems very intimidating when you hold it in your hands because of the number of buttons and features, but it comes with a great quick reference card that sits right on top of the controls. It is very helpful and you can operate the drone while the card is in place. Every remote-controlled toy should come with something like this. In order to use the drone to its fullest capabilities, you need to attach a cell phone (cell service is not required) and download their app. I used an old Android phone that is not currently connected and only works on Wi-Fi. You can then connect the phone to the drone via its own Wi-Fi network.
The app is fairly clear, but there are several features that have descriptions in Chinese even though most features are in English. I found no way to change those Chinese ones to English and it is my only complaint about the product and the reason why I knocked off one star on the Remote Control rating. That should be a simple software update so if that ever happens, I will update that portion to 5 stars. It does not affect functionality in any way as the descriptions appear to be for music that you can add to video captured by the drone. At least, I assume that is what the feature is for. One other feature was in Chinese and I could not figure out what it did. Neither feature is described in the instructions either.
The instructions are otherwise pretty good and only have a few grammatical/translation errors, but you can still understand the explanations. They describe the features, but by far the best instructions are the quick reference card I mentioned above.
As for the drone itself, it is compact, foldable, lightweight and comes in a great carry case. The arms fold out easily and it comes with guards that snap in at the end of each arm to protect the propeller blades. While the package includes a couple of extra propeller blades, I do not recommend operating it without those guards. Those are a must and I will explain why.
As I said, the drone is lightweight. That’s great for carrying it around but it makes it very difficult to control if there is even the slightest breeze. Thankfully, the joystick controls are very responsive and all of the buttons work well.
I began by operating the drone in my living room and the air conditioner suddenly kicked on. The air from a nearby vent caused the drone to drift away and bump into a wall. Since the bumpers were attached, it gently bounced off the wall and continued hovering. That made me very cautious when I took it outside. There was a slight breeze on both days I that took it out. My yard has a cement wall on one side and a wooden fence on another, so I began by operating it near the corner. The app connected to the drone quickly, it started up perfectly and the camera quality is great when viewed on the phone.
I tried flying up toward the roof and as soon as it got above the fence line it immediately fell victim to the wind. It was a struggle to navigate my yard which has tree branches, string lights and a pergola. I recommend flying it only in clear areas and when there is little to no breeze, but I suppose that is common sense. When operating it in the front yard I was able to go higher, but still struggled with directional controls. That is probably more attributed to my lack of experience with drone flight. I discovered “Headless Mode” which helped a bit. That shifts reference point of the controls to the drone’s position relevant to the operator than the direction in which the drone is facing. I read that this is a feature for beginners and I recommend staring with that turned on.
The drone, like many entry-level drones, is not GPS enabled and does not have an automatic “return home” feature if it goes out of range or begins to run low on batteries. You need to be very aware of its distance from you and its battery life. I had about 15 minutes of flight time on a fully charged battery, which I have heard is fairly standard.
I do not feel comfortable doing a thorough survey of my roof yet since some that will involve flying higher and perhaps losing sight of the drone as I circle my roof. I found myself focusing more on the position and distance of the drone that what was being displayed from the camera. That part is not a flaw of the product. I just need to practice a bit more and the weather has been too windy recently to allow that.
I recommend this drone for beginners and the price point is great for this set of features, but if you are an advanced user with more complex or commercial applications in mind, this drone may not have the features and range that you need. For what it is and claims to be, it is worth the 5 stars and I have no regrets purchasing it.
5.0 out of 5 starsLet me begin by saying that this is my first experience with one of these drones. I purchased it because I had some roof damage a year ago and I am still dealing with an insurance claim. I have a tarp on my second story roof that has shifted out of place a couple of times already and I wanted a quick way to check it regularly without having to pull out a heavy 30-foot ladder and climb up there every time (one time was scary enough). I figured one of these simple drones would get the job done safely and on a budget. I was right, sort of.Great entry-level drone for beginners

I discovered “Headless Mode” which helped a bit. That shifts reference point of the controls to the drone’s position relevant to the operator than the direction in which the drone is facing. I read that this is a feature for beginners and I recommend staring with that turned on.
The drone, like many entry-level drones, is not GPS enabled and does not have an automatic “return home” feature if it goes out of range or begins to run low on batteries. You need to be very aware of its distance from you and its battery life. I had about 15 minutes of flight time on a fully charged battery, which I have heard is fairly standard.
I do not feel comfortable doing a thorough survey of my roof yet since some that will involve flying higher and perhaps losing sight of the drone as I circle my roof. I found myself focusing more on the position and distance of the drone that what was being displayed from the camera. That part is not a flaw of the product. I just need to practice a bit more and the weather has been too windy recently to allow that.
I recommend this drone for beginners and the price point is great for this set of features, but if you are an advanced user with more complex or commercial applications in mind, this drone may not have the features and range that you need. For what it is and claims to be, it is worth the 5 stars and I have no regrets purchasing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfecto para iniciar
Color: Dark GreyVerified PurchaseCumple lo que promete muy al límite, no es un dron profesional por supuesto, pero está más que perfecto para principiantes, aunque no te fíes de la conexión en tiempo real con la app de tu teléfono, no se ve en HD y tampoco es 100% tiempo real, lo probé en cielo despejado y tiene un retraso de al menos 1 o 2 segundos, por lo que no es apto para manejar únicamente viendo la cámara desde la app, a menos que sea muy despacio

2.0 out of 5 stars Despues de unos meses dejó de funcionar
Color: Dark GreyVerified PurchaseEl producto no es bueno, se descompuso después de algunos meses de usar . Esta como nuevo sin golpes pero ya no responde. Lamentablemente ya no tiene garantia ni esta en tiempo para la devolucion.
