| | VR app doesn’t exsist anymore | 2020-02-01
VR headset app not supported anymore. Cannot even use it. Total massive waste of money. Terrible customer service. Really want my money back !
| | Rubbish | 2019-03-20
Rubbish, poor video quality makes you sick, when the thing actually works. Software crashes all the time. Even flown without the goggles it isn't that nice.
| | Absolute Enttäuschung | 2019-01-18
Kam 3 Tage zu spät und ist das falsche Set war ein Geburtstags Geschenk für meinen Sohn das zu spät kam und ich zurück schicken muss Nie wieder !
| | False advertising | 2018-11-16
This is a swizz. This item clearly states it comes with vr glasses. This just a standard drone with remote control. Very angry
| | Keine Verbindung | 2018-10-24
Leider lässt sich die Drohne nicht mit dem IPhone 5s verbinden. Wir hatten die gleiche Drohne schon mal, da hat es wunderbar funktioniert.
| | arm on quadcopter broke on first day. | 2018-09-05
Brought this for my son, who really enjoyed playing with it for the few hours it lasted. A bit sensitive to operate at first, so when aiming to land, you could easily have the drone fall out of the air, this is unfortunately what broke one of the arms, as it dropped from about 5meters, it hit the corner of a step, and the arm snapped. Unit lasted 1 day :-(
| | Very fast / difficult to control | 2018-08-09
Good camera. But difficult drone. Battery? Remember, you are buying a small race drone.
| | Okay drone but the novelty wore off pretty quickly | 2018-08-05
This drone flew well initially, but over time has become more and more unreliable in responding to commands. The battery time is extremely short so you seem to spend a huge amount of time charging it, only to find that the flying experience is over around 15 minutes later. The app is a novelty, but there is quite a significant time lag between reality and the image reaching the screen. My sons played with the mask and the app a few times, and then gave up on it. A few months on and it is
| | Vorsicht! | 2018-07-05
Habe einen völlig anderes Set erhalten! Entgegen der Beschreibung war lediglich die Fernsteuerung und die Drohne enthalten. Der Rest ist wohl schon lost in space... So nen Dreck! Es sollte nen Geburtstagsgeschenk werden! Vielleicht sollte der Anbieter hier mal mehr Geld in seine Angestellten investieren, damit diese motivierter sind und solche Missgeschicke nicht passieren!
| | short but sweet | 2018-06-06
This is a super fun little drone, perfect for annoying big/little siblings indoors....except there is one major issue. The battery life is woefully short - really only managed about 7 minutes from a full charge. This is a real niggle...and has led to some 'meh' attitude from my sons - they soon tire of it because of this frustration. It's great fun for those 7 minutes though!
| | Not worth the money! | 2018-03-02
Worked for a couple of days but not worked since. Air hogs support were in Canada (who were very helpful and did send out a new charger but still not working!) Wouldn't waste my money!
| | Fun, easy to fly Drone but battery life is disappointing | 2018-01-17
My 10 year old son (and me) have had fantastic fun flying this Drone over Christmas! This Drone is much more stable than a cheaper one we bought previously. Flip stunts are easy once you get the hang of it and the hand control calibrator makes it easy to bring under control. Battery life is extremely disappointing however where you'd be lucky to get 10 mins flying time. The app and camera work very well.
| | My Son loved it 😀 | 2018-01-17
Ordered this as last minute gift for my son this Xmas... totally brilliant fun he loves it... excellent begginers mode for first time use & race mode for more experienced user... recommend this item to anyone looking to buy a drone first time... and was amazing Price at just £49.99
| | I have given it a four rating as the battery for the hog could last a little longer before charge but overall a great a little drone for the price | 2018-01-16
The controls are very sensitive and my son took a little while to get use to so would advise taking it to an open field to begin with. However now he is getting the hang of things and can do it a confined space. I have given it a four rating as the battery for the hog could last a little longer before charge but overall a great a little drone for the price.
| | Two Stars | 2018-01-10
Not very robust at all...
| | Disappointing | 2018-01-10
I’m really disappointed with this product my son got for Christmas. Within a few days it is completely broken. At the cost of it this is unacceptable. I contacted the company about 2 weeks ago and I am still awaiting a response.
| | Ok. | 2018-01-10
Does everything it claims to but takes some practice to control it. Battery life is very short but it does say this in the description. It seems very responsive at some points but then not responsive enough at others. My 8 year old played with it for about a week but is already over it which is disappointing for the price.
| | 5-7 minutes of flight time with a full charge | 2017-12-31
While my boys love flying this, they are always disappointed when the 5-7 minutes of its battery life have expired. Really, 5-7 minutes is all you get with this thing, which is a major disappointment when you have to wait 10-15 to let the battery cool-off and then another 30-45 for a full charge. Also, the app is rather horrible. It works fine, but my boys are absolutely uninterested in wearing the headset and would rather just watch the drone fly as they control it.So, why am I still giving it

The drone itself is brilliant. A joy to fly but that's were it probably ends. Short flight time, shorter than most smaller drones. The fpv app is terrible , just doesn't work unless u have a new high end phone as the company haven't realised (no idea how because most of the customers are complaining about the same thing) that the app is unstable with most phones so haven't actually done anything about it
| | Surprisingly great to fly, but with slightly limited flying time | 2017-12-21
When it arrived, I did a double-take, as the DR1 FPV was smaller than I expected: It's comfortably under 12cm front to back and side to side. However the size is deceptive, as the DR1 feels like a substantial little drone. It feels like there's a real heft to it, but when I weighed it, it was 1.7oz (48g). For reference, a pair of Amazon AA rechargeable batteries weighs 2oz, so it manages to be light and sturdy, which is impressive. I've got a budget mini drone Upgrated Cheerson CX-10
| | Up, Up & Away | 2017-12-04
This toy drone was a lot more fun and a lot less fiddly than I expected. I have not had much experience with flying toys/models etc in the past and have always found them to be tricky to master but this drone is fairly straightforward, the controls being no more difficult to master than a remote control car for example. My five year old was even able to fly it with some success after a bit of practice – though it’s clearly more suitable for older and more dextrous kids/adults.The fun factor
| | Great fun! | 2017-11-26
We’ve wasted a fair bit of cash over the years on flying devices so I was fairly sceptical about this drone but it’s actually great fun. It is small (so best confined to indoor use unless it is a very still day) but is easy to fly and the camera produces surprisingly good results through your smartphone, which you clip into the goggles to get the drones-eye view. The rechargeable battery gives about 10 minutes use on a charge - which is a relief, to be honest, as there’s only so long you can
| | Great intro but not for serious FPV racing. | 2017-11-19
Good intro into Drones and the idea of FPV (First Person View) but don’t get confused between this and the real thing. This uses your smartphone and a head mounted viewing experience of the phone so it doesn’t provide the speed or accuracy of a real FPV system with a much higher frame rate and response time but it gives you the principles of flying in FPV rather than watching from afar. I would definately say that if you like it then you should look at some of the better FPV kits out there or
| | Air Hogs DR1 Race Drone | 2017-11-19
If you are thinking of buying a drone for your child, or yourself, then this is an excellent buy. I’ve never used a drone before, but my son and I worked this out together and it is easy to set up and to use. First of all you have the drone itself, which is fairly small, but works very well. It comes with a charger and also an accessory to tighten the propellers. It also has an adjustable camera at the front, which you can tip up and down. This not only affects your view, but also makes the
| | Fab Fun | 2017-11-16
We've had other drones before and they've been impossible to use, fragile or short-lived - this drone is SO much better and a real pleasure to play with. It's tiny - 11cm by 12cm roughly, but comes in a big box as you also get a headset and controller as well as a charging cable. The drone has integrated rechargeable batteries, though you will need a couple of disposable batteries for the controller.The first plus about this drone is that it has two levels of piloting difficulty.
| | Super Racing Drohne für Anfänger, sehr robust und HammerPreis | 2017-11-15
Ich habe die DR1 Race Drone für meinen Sohn gekauft der 11 Jahre alt ist. Ich habe selbst einige (teure) Race Drones die er gerne mal "testet" und er spart schon lange um sich seine eigene Race Drohne leisten zu können und selbst "ohne Aufpasser" zu fliegen. Eine „normale/Fortgeschrittenen-“ Renn-Drohne kann man allerdings erst ab ca. 400€ bekommen und das ist doch etwas viel für ein "Spielzeug". Deshalb hatte ich schon länger nach einer guten

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
