This isn't a flashlight, household lamp, Christmas light set, or other thing that glows, but it *DOES* have a number of LEDs on its fuselage (
this word is definitely *NOT* pronounced "fyoo SELL' uh jee" as Drake Parker from the TV program "Drake and Josh" would pronounce it; the word is pronounced "" , so what the hey

I love things that fly; that's why I took the bate and also why I added a seperate section titled "PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO FLY" on my website a number of years ago (12 years ago I think). I was also attracted to something that this drone has that many others don't...
  • 1:It has a gyro -- that means it's easy to fly even for a "craptastic" pilot like me.
  • 2: It has all of those wonderful LEDs
This is a small, lightweight (76g), easy-to-fly 4-channel remote-controlled outdoor (and indoors with a large enough space) drone. It interfaces with your cellular telephone handset (smartphones only) or your tablet using a free app that you can find on Google Play (Android) or the App Store (Apple Iphone).

It sports a camera; both still photos and aerial video can be taken with it!

This toy is remarkably easy to use for a drone...here's how to get it off the ground:

As with any rechargeable product, charge it first (see directly below), install the flight battery, and then you can pretend to fly a dragonfly (well, that's what the kitty cats would think it was if it were designed to be flown in a small living room).



1: Turn the drone on and place the drone on the ground so that the tail-end faces you.

Move several feet away from the drone (at least six feet away).

2: Activate the DHD-FLY app on your smartphone or tablet (you did install it, didn't you? )

3: Press the 'Auto Takeoff' icon on the screen (there should be a fair-sized upward-pointing arrow at the lower left of the screen).

4: The DHD D5 R/C Selfie Drone should now lift off the ground. Congratulations, you're now a pilot!!!

For additional instructions & tips on how to fly, please read the instructional material that comes with the product.

Turn the drone off when finished using it.



The battery in the DHD D5 R/C Selfie Drone is rechargeable.

To charge the battery in the DHD D5 R/C Selfie Drone, plug the battery into the charger dongle, and plug the dongle into any USB port on your Mac or pee-cee or into a line-powered USB charger

When the charge cycle is in progress, the red LED on the charger will be on. When the charge cycle is complete, this LED should turn off.

You may then safely unplug the battery from the charger, and unplug the USB dongle from your computer.

Fully charging the DHD D5 R/C Selfie Drone' battery should give you approx 5 minutes of flying time.



This RC drone is meant to be used as a toy in a dry area outdoors (or in a large open room indoors), not as a flashlight meant to be carried around all the time, thrashed, and abused; so I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the {vulgar slang term for a fudge bunny}bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of a patio, bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a scanner-type device on a platform with a large readout, with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; and the cannoņata is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or inflict upon it punishments that I might inflict upon a flashlight.

So this section of the drone's web page will be significantly more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

The camera has a video resolution of 640 x 480 (480P video quality; 0.3 megapixels).


ALL OF THE FLIGHT VIDEOS ARE ON THEIR OWN WEB PAGE
SO THAT THIS EVAL. WOULD NOT BECOME TOO CUMBERSOME!!!
