The drone is really stable and quite easy to fly, so seems like a great choice for a beginner like me. It also seems to be quite durable. We haven’t had any bad crashes, but plenty of mild bumps. I haven’t accurately timed the flight duration, but the AA108 seems to exceed the listed claims, even in wind and when I’m really pushing it hard.
I’m really satisfied with my choice, and love this little drone that I order another for the kids. I would recommend picking up a couple of extra batteries - you will want the fun to last!
I don’t have any major complaints, but by way of feedback, the port for the micro SD card is a little fiddly - not exactly easy to get the card in and out. The charging cable for the batteries could be a few inches longer too.
If you’re looking for your first drone, I would recommend going with this model over some of the $40-60 USD choices. We have a Holy Stone Predator, and while it is still very fun to fly, this drone is simply more forgiving and also better-performing.
I bought this drone a few days ago and so far it's worked out great. I really like how easy it was to start flying.
I actually contacted the sellers before I purchased it because I had a couple questions and received responses quickly answering everything I needed to know and more.
So far I've flown it in my house (carefully), along with my 12 year old daughter. She didn't have any trouble picking it up on the easy flight mode, there's a selector button on the back and you can flip between 1-easy, 2 and 3-advanced, flight modes.
I took it outside this morning, there was a light breeze maybe 5-10 MPH, It handled well even with a bit of wind. Altitude hold and all the other functions worked well.
I kept it low and flew it around my neighborhood. The flight range is great for this price point, I got it out to at least 110 yards, which is longer than most drones of this size. The out of range alarm went off at probably 100 but I flew it a little ways past that and was still able to get it back with no problems.
The battery lasted around 10 minutes even with the wind.
Video is great; FPV range is around 40-50 yards with the 720p video app.
I'm glad I bought this drone over others I was considering. It was a big positive that they responded quickly to my emails and they’re based in the USA. I’m always more inclined to support a US business.
If you've been fearful of getting a drone thinking it will be difficult to fly or you'll crash it right away I definitely recommend this one. Very easy to use and is not intimidating. Very fun for all.
I decided on two mini drones - a Blade Nano QX and a Holy Stone F180W Mini - and two larger drones - LaTrax Alias and Altair Aerial. I have spent the last two weeks flying all four drones and have concluded that the Altair Aerial is the best of the bunch.
Reasons why? 1) Quality and durability of the drone itself. I have crashed this thing into curbs, tree trunks, walls, chairs and climbed three trees now, and other than a few scratches to the body and some dings on the props (to be expected for sure), this drone goes on and on like the Energizer Bunny. 2) Ease of flight and stability. The moment this drone first lifted off, I knew immediately it would be a stable flyer. Easier to control than the other three drones and better balanced. 3) Batteries, flight time, and range. Like the batteries a lot. Much better than the LaTrax Alias. I get 7-9 minutes of flight depending on conditions. The range is good and the LED lights are excellent for keeping track of during low light/dark conditions. It handles well in the wind too.
There are two issues that stand out for me, one more so than the other. 1) Though the Altair transmitter is easy to understand and operate, I find it to be cumbersome and slippery to hold onto. The unit is exceptionally smooth and rounded on the sides for hand placement, whereas my Holy Stone transmitter is more traditional in design, squared with lots of contour which makes it grip. 2) Both batteries and charging cables are high quality and durable. However, I am unable to plug two charging cables into the two USB ports on the front of my desktop PC because the ports are side by side and the ends of the charging cables that plug into those ports are so wide they can't be plugged at the same time. Not a big deal cause I can use wall chargers as well. For convenience, it would be nice though to plug two batteries in at the same location (my PC).
I have not tried using the FPV camera and smartphone app yet. Want to have a little more experience under my belt before I take that next step, but I expect to do so soon.
Lastly, my customer service experience with Altair Aerial has been exceptional. Communication with them has been top notch and responsive . They are very helpful with questions and suggestions. I like that Altair Aerial is an American company. IMO, American made means quality, durability and dependability.
Overall, I am happy with this drone and expect my piloting abilities to improve significantly.

I started out flying indoors to get some practice because I've read a lot of stories of people losing drones because they didn't learn to fly inside first.
After a few days of doing that I took it outside to a local park and really enjoyed how easy it is to setup with the app and control. The video is good quality for a drone at this price and the range and flight time are above average as well.
I've even crashed it a couple of times and nothing broke, well built!
Would love to see a bit more battery life, but at the end of the day I think it's a great drone for the price.
I never would have bought this if it would have lived up to its promises.
It does not hold a hover, and it constantly changes elevation every time you only want it to spin to focus the camera. It flies off to the right and has to be constantly watched (impossible through the camera, due to the irratic flying). The slightest breeze sends it off on its own, and it is impossible to utilize the camera as it has a sluggish feed and often freezes the frame.
I had to give it one star, not because I wanted too!
