The SIMREX X800 mini drone features a 1080P HD camera with a 90° manually adjustable lens, so you can take stunning aerial photos or videos of your kids, pets, or backyard adventures. Weighing only 96g — lighter than a smartphone — this foldable drone fits easily in a backpack or carry-on. Rainbow RGB lights make night flights more visible and fun without losing sight of your drone. Perfect for capturing family memories at parks, parties, or vacations! - 🛸 ALTITUDE HOLD + OPTICAL FLOW POSITIONING – PERFECT FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS： Worried about crashing your brand new drone? Altitude hold locks the drone at a set height, so you can focus on taking smooth videos without wrestling with altitude control. Optical flow positioning technology adds an extra layer of stability — the drone uses its bottom camera sensors to hover precisely over any position. Together, these two features give you the stability of a much more expensive drone, making the SIMREX X800 incredibly easy to fly for first-timers, kids, and adult beginners alike. - 🎮 ONE KEY START/LANDING + 3 SPEED MODES – EASY AS PUSH AND GO： No complicated pre-flight setup! Press the One Key Start button and your drone lifts off and hovers automatically at a safe height. Press the One Key Landing button when you’re ready to come down — the drone handles the descent smoothly. Choose from 3 adjustable speed modes: slow for indoor learning, medium for backyard practice, and fast for open-space fun. Gravity sensing mode lets you control the drone by tilting your phone — an intuitive flying experience kids love. Perfect for building confidence step by step! - 🌀 HEADLESS MODE + 360° FLIPS & WAYPOINT FLIGHT – GROWS WITH YOUR SKILL： Never worry about losing track of which way the drone is facing! In Headless Mode, the drone always moves relative to YOU, not its own nose direction — meaning forward is always forward, backward is always backward. It sounds simple, but it’s a game-changer for kids and new pilots. Once you‘ve mastered the basics, pull off spectacular 360° flips at the push of a button, or draw a flight path on your phone screen and watch the drone follow it automatically via Waypoint Flight. One drone that grows with you — from first hover to full acrobatics! - 🔋 30 MINUTES FLIGHT TIME WITH 2 MODULAR BATTERIES – FLY LONGER, CHARGE LESS： Most mini drones give you 6-8 minutes of flight. The SIMREX X800 gives you up to 30 minutes across 2 included 1000mAh modular batteries — that’s 3-5x longer than typical beginner drones . Swapping batteries takes seconds, so you can keep flying while one battery recharges via USB. Safety features include low-power alarm (so you know when it’s time to come back), out-of-control protection, and anti-interference technology. - 🏠 DESIGNED FOR INDOOR FLYING (WINDLESS OUTDOOR ONLY) – SAFE FROM DAY ONE： Unlike outdoor-only drones that need perfect weather, the SIMREX X800 is designed for indoor fun right out of the box. Altitude hold keeps stable flight in living rooms and basements. When you’re ready to go outside, choose a completely windless day — the X800 handles calm outdoor conditions beautifully. Age guidance: Manufacturer recommends 14+, but supervised kids 8+ can enjoy it. Real-world use:Ages 8–10: best with adult help on controls and crash recovery.Teens & adults: fly independently. Safety first: Not for children under 3 (choking hazard). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Kid | | Asin | B0DFCLF4BZ | | Battery Capacity | 1000 milliamp_hours | | Battery Cell Composition | Lithium Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,248 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) #106 in Hobby RC Quadcopters & Multirotors | | Brand Name | SIMREX | | Color | White | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Control Type | Remote Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (590) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Effective Still Resolution | 2.1 mp | | Included Components | Battery, Blade, Phone Holder, Propeller, USB Cable | | Item Dimensions L X W X H | 11.22"L x 8.07"W x 2.17"H | | Item Weight | 96 g | | Manufacturer | SIMREX | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | X800 | | Model Number | X800C | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Optical Sensor Technology | optical flow | | Part Number | X807 | | Remote Control Technology | WIFI | | Skill Level | Beginner | | Special Features | 360 Degree Flip, Adjustable, Long Battery Life, Long Distance Control, One Key Rotation | | Video Capture Resolution | 1080p | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** SIMREX - **Color:** White - **Connectivity Technology:** Wi-Fi - **Effective Still Resolution:** 2.1 mp - **Included Components:** Battery, Blade, Phone Holder, Propeller, USB Cable - **Model Name:** X800 - **Skill Level:** Beginner - **Special Feature:** 360 Degree Flip, Adjustable, Long Battery Life, Long Distance Control, One Key Rotation - **Video Capture Resolution:** 1080p ## Images ![SIMREX Drone With Camera for Kids Beginner & Adults – Foldable RC Quadcopter with Altitude Hold, Optical Flow Positioning , Indoor Mini Drone with One Key Start, Headless Mode, 3D Flip, Gift for Boys & Girls & Teenagers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hif6a7TCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What ages is this drone recommended for?** A: Age guidance: Manufacturer recommends 14+, but supervised kids 8+ can enjoy it.

The tldr - I'm hooked.I spent a few minutes examining the user's manual, which is brief but thorough enough. Pairing the remote, and installing and connecting the app were very straightforward. Flying was a breeze, in particular thanks to the optional "auto" modes for takeoff and landing. One button press, and the drone starts and hovers at about 1 meter. When you press the auto-land function, it gently sets itself down. Once lifted, the remote has controls to raise/lower, turn left/right, move forward/backward/left/right. After a few minutes, it's pretty easy to get the hang of.The photos and videos this drone takes are great - actually much better quality than I was expecting, given the price of the drone. One note: when you read in the description that it has an "adjustable 90-degree camera lens", that's true. However, you adjust it while you're holding the drone in your hand. While in flight, there's no remote control function to change the camera angle. That's probably obvious to more experienced fliers, but it wasn't to me.The battery life felt short to me...but you really do get the ~20 minutes they advertise. The problem is, it's so much fun to fly, that it *feels* like 5 minutes! It's no wonder you you don't get more time - the battery is necessarily feather-light. Have no fear however. Since Simrex includes two batteries, you can be charging one while flying with the other!Another nice touch is that Simrex also included a number of spare prop blades. I assume this is the part most often lost or damaged in a crash. So far I haven't needed a spare, but I'm glad they are included.Bottom line is this toy is loads of fun, and I can't wait to get it outside more. Snow has arrived where I live, and I'll probably wait until we get a little warmer weather before taking it outside again. I see that as I write this, there's an associated $10 coupon. I felt like it was a great deal when I got it, but at almost 20% less, it that much better. So much fun for so little money! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drone with video for this price point *by on Reviewed in the United States December 9, 2024* My husband who is experienced with drones and has a fleet of them for his technology students also tested this alongside me who had little drone experience.First we both appreciate they give replacement parts, and extra battery with charging cord(you supply the charging box), tiny screwdriver, and a phone mount and good directions for operating the drone with the controller.When operating with the controller I experienced no issues in learning how to fly one for the first time. My husband who is experienced felt it was a pretty good drone for the price point when using the controller.When we switched to the phone as a controller in order to utilize the 1080p camera, we had issues with it disconnecting from the app from time to time. However, when it's connected it works well with pretty good video quality once you learn how to use the controls via your phone.I think with a bit more practice I would really enjoy and improve my skills. He would definitely recommend it but would like to see improved app.I will be gifting this to a middle school age kid and think he's really going to enjoy it. He's had a very small cheaper drone but wanted one with video capabilities. This is a good starting point.This thing is VERY durable because I flew it outside(it can fly as high as many tree tops) and hit trees, buildings and limbs in my first few attempts. It definitely took some hard hits and didn't scratch or break. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for the whole family! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 28, 2024* I recently bought the SIMREX X800 drone for my young nephew for Christmas, and it’s been an absolute hit! This drone strikes the perfect balance between fun and functionality, making it an excellent choice for beginners of all ages. My nephew, who’s new to drones, quickly got the hang of the controls thanks to its intuitive design and simple setup process. Watching him confidently fly it and pull off 360° flips has been so rewarding, it’s clear this drone was made with young users in mind.What surprised me even more is how much fun I’ve had with it as an adult! The SIMREX X800 is not just a toy, it’s also a fantastic entry level drone for adults looking to get into flying. The headless mode, one-key takeoff/landing, and altitude hold features make it easy for anyone to start, even if you’ve never touched a drone before. It’s a great way for parents, aunts, or uncles like me to bond with their kids while learning a new skill.The stability during flight is remarkable for such a compact and lightweight drone, and its foldable design makes it incredibly convenient to carry around. My nephew loves taking it to the park, and I’ve even taken it for a spin myself. The battery life is solid for its price range, and having an extra battery on hand means the fun can last even longer.Whether you’re buying it for a child, a teenager, or even an adult who wants to learn the basics of drone flying, the SIMREX X800 is an incredible choice. It’s affordable, durable, and delivers so much value for its price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable starter drone that’s fun for the whole family! ## Frequently Bought Together - SIMREX Drone With Camera 1080P for Kids And Adults, RC Quadcopter With Altitude Hold, Mini Drone With One Key Start, Waypoint Fly, Headless Mode, 3D Flip, 3 Speeds, Remote Control Drone for Beginners - ThinkFun Gravity Maze --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/702037188-simrex-drone-with-camera-for-kids-beginner-and-adults-foldable](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/702037188-simrex-drone-with-camera-for-kids-beginner-and-adults-foldable) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
