He lost control and it crashed in the woods behind our house

Learn to hover first - ignore the other controls and practice hovering and keeping a stable height above ground.2

Smooth and fast responsiveness, slow enough for great precise indoor control on low speed setting, and fast enough to battle light wind on the faster setting.

The controls are easy to use once you get the hang of them and it flies very smooth.

Really compact and fast, controls wonderfully (once you know how to at least) and it's very sturdy considering how many times I have crashed this thing

It can be very fast and the controls are nice

Easy, intuitive controls

The controls are easy to use and the large controller is a bit bulky but feels good

Bought this as a learning drone , I must say it flys pretty far and pretty fast , control is easy to use , it’s pretty durable , it’s been slammed and fell pretty hard , holds ok pretty good , last about good 6 min of fly time with original battery , if you purchase 525 man batter you can fly for 10 minutes, good product, good for people trying learn to fly a drone , or even just fly it in general.

The drone has great control and is easy to repair damaged parts

Smooth controls and good battery time

We've had a blast with this drone, and once you figure out how to work the controls, it's a lot of fun!

No camera or smart phone control (didn't buy it for that, bought it just to fly and maybe get some cool footage using an external camera)

 This drone has good control, is fast, agile and tough

Good control.

The controls are pretty good, I'm brand new to drone flying.

The controls are very sensitive (possibly not in beginners mode) but is easily manageable.

Easy controls.

The controls are intuitive and he understands them.

The drone doesn't have any automatic vertical stabilization, so you have to constantly adjust the vertical height, and the vertical control is touchy, so it's easy to go zipping up and down faster and farther than you intend

I enjoyed the DS2 though it was touchy to control, especially the elevation control; seemed like it either wanted to hug the ceiling or the floor, and bounce between the two a lot

The controls are very responsive and the drone is a perfect size

Pros:**Awesome control

The remote control it came with seems durable and works great

The controls are pretty

It is stable and the controls are easy to use

Very easy to operate with pretty good control

Has more range than is necessary and controls are very responsive with no lag even at distance

It flies for a long time, and it has very good control.

The controls are sensitive enough that it's difficult to get the drone to move a slower speed

The controls were easy to figure out.

It would be nice if it had finer trim control, to eliminate all left/right and forward/backward drift.

This drone shattered my expectations in every way possible!Control is fantastic even in high rate though be careful because this thing TILTS forward in high so make sure you have some altitude

The controls are not super easy but can be figured out quickly

The controls are easy to understand for my 7 year-old, there, is only a minor trim adjustment to get the drone to hover fairly well in place

It als has a decent rangeof control

First use should be inside your home till you master the controls.

The controls are great! responsive and easy to learn.

His sister will throw it, and he'll just take control like a magician

It would be great if the controls were labeled to help with faster control

The drone has really great stability control and recovers nicely from bumping into walls, furniture etc

When used in doors the controls are responsive enough to avoid running into things even with split second encounters

Best features that set it apart from other quad copters/drones:-adjustable control rates to make controls more sensitive as you learn to

, controls are more sensitive than my sons

I think the controls were a little difficult to learn, meaning he crashed it multiple times while I was still visiting.

He says the controls are pretty easy to use and that changing the propellers is pretty simple as well.

When comparing this to some of the other small quad copters we have flown, we have found it to be not only easier to control, but also more resilient if we loose control

The slow, medium, and fast control modes are nice to have as you gain skill and confidence as a novice pilot.

While it takes some time getting used to (definitely start by practicing inside), the drone is durable, the controls are intuitive and it's a lot of fun to fly

Easy controls and adjustments.

When I flew the Holy Stone HS-170 Predator I was stunned by the smooth controls, quiet operation, easier to identify orientation (due to lights visible from below) and the ease with which I eas able to fly it!

The sensitive vehicle control can be difficult to get used to

The control of the drone is fantastic

Responsive controls and big product in a small scale package

The controls work well and the mechanical design withstands minor crashes.

controls are wonderfully responsive

Although it is not so easy to manipulate it, my kid loves o play with it.

He had limited R/C experience and after a few hours is a very good pilot.
