We tested out the Sky Viper V2400HD Streaming Video Drone. When you open up the package, the drone comes assembled and all you have to do is put batteries in the controller. That is a positive for both parents and kids.
When we first started flying it, the drone went up a couple of feet because we were only pressing the auto-launch and not the actual controls. After some practice, we started to get the hang of it.
We tried it first on a windy day and the drone was actually not hard to control; this was a very good feature. Then we tried it on a calm day and it was a lot easier to control. We really think this was a fun and exciting toy.
Even more exciting is that you can video things from way up high. It can also do some amazing stunts such as barrels and spins. It is something for everyone to enjoy and play with together.
