At first unboxing, it was packed very well
It came with all the spare parts you would expect and need
Assembly was easy enough. Just putting the bumpers on. Although if you have large or unsteady hands you might have a little trouble (the screws are extremely small)
Once I got it going the first flight I terrorized my cats. The second flight was outside and honestly the range on this drone is better than I’ve ever seen
I have had a couple of drones in the past and controlling them was never easy for me but this drone is by far the easiest I’ve had. The controls are not quite as tight as others (which is great especially for beginners). Your not going to take someone’s head off at the slightest touch.
The camera works far better than expected. The picture is great (nice and clear)
The construction quality is very good I’ve crashed it a few times and not a scratch it seems to be built with beginners in mind but nice enough for experts to really enjoy too
The phone holder is extremely stable and was big enough to easily accommodate my I phone x. I don’t see any size phone having a problem.
Overall I’m extremely pleased with this drone and I highly recommend it

I wish this had been my first drone.
The first drone I bought was a toy drone from a different vendor. The remote control sticks broke twice before I gave up and ordered a Drocon Bugs 3. The Bugs 3 is a fantastic second drone but I have to fly it in a large open field because it’s so fast. I wanted a drone I could fly in my backyard. That’s when I discovered the Drocon Cyclone. While it’s technically a toy drone, if you learn to fly this drone you will be able to fly any drone. It is very agile and fast enough for my backyard. The radio control is the same unit as the Bugs 3 and the sticks work exactly the same. The big difference in these drones is the left stick, or throttle which makes the drone move it up and down. The throttle does not self-center as it does on many toy drones. This is how the throttle will operate on hobby grade remotes. If one learns to fly with this type of remote first, moving up to better remotes will be a snap. Also the Drocon customer service is amazing. I accidently lost my Cyclone when I went too high in by backward. Once above above the trees, a gust of strong wind blew it away (that’s why it is not in my picture). Even though it was my mistake, Drocon offered to replace my Cyclone under the warranty. In summary, Drocon Cyclone - great first drone or additional drone, Drocon Bugs 3 – fantastic second drone or first drone with brushless motors, Drocon – excellent customer service and products.

The drone is very light but sturdy and is good for anyone who wants to give drone flying a try. It is very easy to assemble and a screwdriver is included in the box. You just need a set of 4 AA batteries for the remote control. Propeller guards are provided to protect the propellers from crashes. A set of 4 replacement propellers is also provided. The remote control comes with a detachable phone mount and a companion Android/iOS app that can be used to hold your phone and view the video from the HD camera in the front.
Initially it was hard to control and I crashed it few times before I got a hang of it and could fly it well. Even though it looks flimsy, it is actually quite sturdy and there was no damage from the crashes. If you are flying from a grass field, I'd recommend placing it on a raised surface so that the propellers are free to turn. I did not try the view from the HD camera as the Android app is not from the Google play store (but the iOS app is on iTunes) and has to be installed from an apk.

Came well packaged, comes with extra blades, blade guards, single battery, USB charger, remote control, and a plastic phone holder to attach to remote. Bought as a gift for my 7 year old son. We unboxed, charged battery. The manual says 90min for a charge, but it came partially charged, so only took about 20min for charge light to go off. We downloaded the Drocon app for iPad, and the app connected and we saw video.
Flying takes a bit of getting used to for my 7year old, he is not good at feathering the throttle. Have not flown much yet as he is getting used to the controls, but the drone seems like good quality, remote seems well built, everything just worked easily. I registered for warranty and chatted with customer service, they were very responsive. So far good experience. I do plan to get some more batteries as that will be the limiting factor.

Cool design. Poor controls. Ok for beginners.

The battery doesn't last very long, and it doesn't fly very well. I flew it with a small wind, and it didn't do great. But I don't expect much more from a $50 drone. I do like the design, and that it has guards for the propellers. You definitely want to get at least one more battery unless you only want to fly it for a couple of minutes at a time.

This drone is very fun and easy to use. Although it works better with little to no wind, it still is responsive and easy to control. I let my daughter try to fly it and she picked it up very quickly. It even survived a rough landing on her part with no damage at all (free fall from about 75 feet). In the picture we were 200 feet in the air, with a light breeze (5-10 mph from the national weather service) and I was still able to land it gracefully. I do wish however the remote control was a little more responsive. I am very well aware this is for beginners and am no where near the pilot I need to be for such advanced controls. We used the drone for about twenty minutes and the battery life and power were beyond what I would of anticipated. Overall this is a great beginners drone.
