EMAX Tiny Hawk RTF Micro Indoor Racing Drone with FPV Goggles and Controller for Beginners

Worked well for 2 days then stopped working.

This drone is a freakin beast!. The range is really good for the price. I have taken it out 200 ft around large trucks and walls and the signal is still good. It has crashed literally hundreds of times, some really hard, and it keeps going no problem. I even landed fully submerged is my dogs water dish and it died. I let it dry for 30 mins and it was back in the air with no damage! The fpv is real time with very little lag. It performs flips , takes a lot of practice, and is super fast. If you are getting into fpv and want a tiny woop this is the one to get hands down! It is a blast to fly and you won't regret buying it!

This is perfect for beginners but this doesn’t mean it’s slow! It’s pretty quick and snappy for the price. I upgraded controllers and had no problem connecting it, so if you want to upgrade your headset or controller to anything you can. Perfect for someone who wants to see if there interest in FPV drone. This is comming from a 18 year old, I love driving around with friends and following the car. But don’t drive with the headset lol. It goes about 25-30mph and iv gotten a few friends interested and gotten the same one and one of my friends got another brand and had trouble connecting the controller and head set not beginner friendly, but this one iv connected to beta flight and learned how to tune from YouTube videos and now I drive it around car meets sometimes. Iv gotten pretty comfortable. There are tons of YouTube videos about this drone and tons of help in the community. This is really this best budget drone for adults and young kids. Mostly young kids but I know full grown adults with this drone and headset and they have fun. The headset is a little heavy and uncomfortable but for the price it’s nothing to worry about it’s really not that uncomfortable you forget 10 secs after you fly off lol.

Save your money! STAY AWAY. I purchased this RTF kit ($168.00 x2) for my two boys ages 13 and 10. Since they flew them into walls while learning I assumed it was the flying that caused them to break at first, so I just bought them new ones when the first two broke soon after use. FIVE (5) Tiny Hawks later after replacing them as Christmas gifts I had had enough. My son gently flew it into a wall (expected, it is an indoor quad) and the reception from the transmitter was now two feet. I sent to Emax to cover this failure under the warranty. WOW what an experience this has been. They refuse to repair/replace it without charging me. They also will not tell me how much it will cost or what is even wrong with it. Just telling me to approve a blank check. What is really depressing is how the support folks have been speaking to a ten (10) year old in their emails. Horrible treatment and manner of speaking to a ten year old via email. This was the big part of his Christmas gift and it lasted a whole week and then followed up with abusive correspondence and stall tactics by Emax (its eight weeks later and I still don’t even have my broken one back). Save your money or go with a competitor because this product is terrible and the company is even worse. Please remember this is sold as an indoor quad for beginners. But is as fragile as an egg shell. Product is junk so is the company. I will update this review if they ever even return my broken device. For now, complete waste of money.

Quadcopter is great for learning it’s nice to be able to switch through the different settings to fly in “automatic” or “manual” the camera on the drone itself though is angled up a little too high so if you want to see straight you really have to be going fast to get the angle correct. The headset itself is alright, having the battery separate from the headset was a little bit obnoxious. Luckily it’s easy to switch headsets. Great little drone let’s of fun easy to use, just make sure to get some extra batteries.

This is my first drone of any kind and I really like it. It works out of the box as advertised. I was concerned that it was going to be gimmicky (i.e. break quickly), but it is not, instead it is the real deal. Drone: Super durable, I have been learning inside my house and have crashed it a lot and there is not a scratch on it. I was concerned that I would buy it and that it would break after a few crashes leaving me with useless goggles and controller. The fact that I can crash it over and over and actually learn on it is huge for me. Controller: Is great for a me, a first time buyer, I quickly got the hang of arming it and switching to hold when I crashed. I started with the switch on the right in easy mode and soon found I had better control switching to medium difficulty (middle setting on the right switch). Goggles: They are fine, again I am a first time buyer so I have nothing to compare them to. The three straps (two sides and top) are adjustable. They are pretty comfortable. Battery: Fine, I get just over 4 minutes on a charge. I bought 2 additional batteries and I am glad I did since one is not enough. Charger: Works fine, no issues. One side is configure to charge at 0.2amps and one side is configured to charge at 0.6amps. There are little switches to change the charging rate. I don't know why you would charge at 0.2amps, i always charge at 0.6amps. Overall: The image is not super crisp, but good enough. If I fly into another room then the I start to loose the image, but not too badly. I tried flying outside, but because there is nothing to confine me I start to loose the drone (I let it get too far away), so I switched to learning indoors. Flying indoors is forcing me to learn to control it (between the floor and ceiling and away from the walls and obstacles). Since I keep crashing and it is fine, this is preferable to me. I found that flying outdoors during the daytime is difficult, the camera struggles to display the range of light so the ground goes very dark and I can't figure out where I am. The beeping of the drone is super helpful if you are not sure where you crashed, I have used the beeping to find it several times. It would be nice if the camera and antenna could be upgraded to provide a better picture and less interference, but that would probably impact the battery life. I think it is great, I did a lot of research and really wanted a micro-drone that worked out of the box and this does that. I am glad I do not have to do any configuration, I can just plug in the battery and fly. Of course it is not perfect, but it is good enough and for something so small to just work out of the box is awesome.
