after 1 year the drone continues to function perfectly even after some spectacular crashes. i have also found the drone and app work well connected to an ipad pro and vitrue xr glasses. this gives a decent FPS view while flying. for an entry level drone this is hard to beat. received the drone today and had it flying within 10 min. packing and case are top notch and the whole kit appears to be well made. each battery had about 50% charge so my first few flights were a bit short. the bad stuff first: as others have reported online this drone suffers from the "toilet bowl" hovering issue. it appears to have issues holding a solid hover more than a few seconds. it slowly begins moving in ever widening circles after a few seconds. this is easily managed by manual control but for the price i'd expect it to be a bit more solid. the drone requires you phone be dedicated to connect to the drones wifi. for video and advance flight features such as waypoints and follow modes. not a problem just be aware it is required. Gps accuracy for return home was pretty far off. my other drone will land within a couple of feet of launch. this one was about 15' away. not a big deal for a budget drone and return did work well enough. the good stuff: SUPER simple to fly and get started. this drone is amazingly simple to calibrate an fly. the app is solid. all feature are easy to access and appear to work well. follow and waypoint modes worked well for a small drone it handles wind pretty well. winds were in the 5-10mph gusts at one point and while it did get blown around it easily handled them and had plenty of power. the camera takes excellent video and videos and pics were surprisingly stable. the gimble system works pretty well. overall this a decent budget level entry drone for a new flyer. i feel the price is a bit high for the performance but the quality is pretty solid and the drone and it's accessories do appear to be solid and well made. if you are an experienced drone pilot this wont be the drone for you. it more in the toy category. if this is a first drone and you want to see if this is your thing, you can do a lot worse.

This drone has been a great experience thus far. The instruction is laid out well enough and the videos that are available are easy to follow. First time with the battery it took me a minute to figure a hold versus push release for powering up. Speed change on the fly is great. This drone is very nimble. The response is fast and at the "sport" speed in light wind, flying through an obstacle course was a lot of fun. Even with a decent breeze stability was retained in GPS mode. The normal speed is casual enough to allow for learning, and the control is intuitive. The controller is decent. The phone holding spring clamp is solid and designed well enough that I feel my device is retained (Samsung Galaxy Note 20). The power button is right under the clamp which forces my to clamp the device to the side which is annoying, but doesn't hinder the functionality. The audible beep that is emitted from the controller during the start up sequence is loud, and would love an option to shut it off. I may open it up and leave that leg of the circuit open... Battery life is really good compared to drones I've flown in the past. I took this on a walk the other day and was able to fly it for nearly thirty minutes before the low voltage message was reported. Camera is great. I've taken a few vids of the rotate around feature, and attempted a few very elevated shots. Still have many features to explore and feel as though I have only scraped the surface of what this drone can do. Overall, great drone!

This is a fun mini drone that comes in under 249 grams allowing recreational flying without registering it. It arrived in a nice zippered case that held, two. Batteries, spare props, charging cables the controller and a pocket for documentation. Due to the recent weather I've only been able to fly it twice. It's quick and very responsive. The controller paired quickly and the app walks the user through the setupa and calibration before a session. Today's weather conditions were clear and COLD 35⁰ F. Battery condition was 100% at the start of the session and each battery lasted about 25 minutes. One note here about the batteries, while the kit includes charging cables it does NOT include a charger. I discovered that the batteries will not charge from a high capacity charger like my PD usb-c chargers. I had to dig out some older chargers to charge the batteries. Coming in under 249 grams makes flying this dragonfly fun BUT it also makes the drone harder to control in in light breezes. Wind today maxed at 3mph gusts and those really did blow me off course. Full disclosure I am a professional photographer (40 yrs experience) for family and 'fun' photos the 4k camera takes snappy & punchy well saturated photos. The videos are equally good although I found that even light breezes made for jumpy videos. For the price I think the camera quality is a good value. For ME the thing I would immediately change is all the button pushing to turn thr unit in. How about we push the button once and it turn on the drone and displays the battery level for 15sec. ? Push again for off... just a thought. Finally I'll review the app. It was stable on my Galaxy s23 Ultra. It walks you through setup before each session. It is well laid out and intuitive. I will update this as I plan to try again with the app running on a 10" tablet.

Fun to fly around, the batteries last for a long time. The drone is very durable, I’m a bad flyer and have had a couple crashes. It stands up to my shenanigans. Easy to control.

Bought this drone for my sons birthday and he was extremely upset it would work and it even has a quality check sticker on it. But both the camera and motor props will not engage. I’m very upset with this waste of money.

This drone has been a great experience overall. It’s very easy to fly, even for someone without a lot of prior drone experience The controls feel intuitive and responsive. The camera quality is excellent, with clear, sharp footage that exceeded my expectations. There are also a lot of useful features that add to both the fun and functionality, making it versatile for different types of flying and filming. On top of that, customer service has been outstanding—very helpful, responsive, and quick to resolve any questions. Highly recommended.

The G11MINI is what I would consider a medium sized drone. I am happy with the video connection to my phone during flight. The batteries provide plenty of use and have held charge reliably. I like how the camera is more protected from impact on this model. The return to home feature works well, and it has had a smooth landing each time. I haven't tried the planned route, fly around, or GPS follow features yet. When I opened the app it was easy to understand. There were simple instructions to calibrate GPS and the basic controls. I had no issues connecting my phone to the drone wifi for video connection. After the first test flight I turned off beginners mode. The controls were responsive even at max distance. The controller has 2 spots to rest your phone in during flight. I could use them correctly if I removed my phone case, but instead I rest my phone in the top spot. That is easier. It has been below freezing for every flight I've taken so far. The G11MINI doesn't seem to mind. I keep the batteries warm inside my house or car till I'm ready to fly. The flights were not sluggish and batteries didn't seem to have issues. The manual says the drone could resist level 4 winds. I have only been out during calm still mornings, and will avoid windy days as much as possible. With the drone weighing less than 250g I worry that commonly windy weather (5 to 10 MPH) could cause problems. I think the price is reasonable for the drone. It delivers the quality and support I would like. The packaging is professional. The manuals, videos, and instructions are put together well. I will let a few friends who have been interested in drones test fly this one.

I just bought this Gleesfun G11Mini drone and I love it. I couldn’t wait to charge it up and get it in the air. I am happy with it for many reasons. I believe it’s a great choice for both beginners and drone hobbyist: From the moment I unwrapped it, I was impressed with the feel and design. The G11Minini is well-built and feels robust. It does not feel like a beginner drone, it has a real sleek design and feel quite solid in your hands. Nice dark Army green color too. Stability: I flew it on a windy day and it was able to hover quite steadily and was very responsive in moderate wind condition. The remote control is very simple and easy to learn. It took about 30 minutes for me to understand all its functions. Be sure to read the manual before you fly. The manual is simple and easy to understand as well. Camera: 4K/25fps is exactly what I need to take on vacation with me. It is fun to operate with its vertical 0 - 90 degree adjustable camera and 120 degree FOV. The battery life is pretty impressive as well. It came with 2 batteries that will give you about an hour of flying time. The return to home RTH function is on point. It was able to land within inches of when of where it started its flight. This a huge plus for me and something I wanted when I purchase this drone. I recommend setting to beginner mode for your first few flights because it is fast and quite responsive. Don’t forget to download the app. You will enjoy flying this aircraft. Overall, it is small, compact, fast, responsive and very easy to fly. The app, Gleesfun Fly has a lot of features. It has a tracking feature that you can used to find your drone if it lost. This feature is very accurate. I tested it and located my drone within inches of where the app directed me to look for it. I truly recommend this drone. It is fun to fly whether you are a newbie or have flying experience.
