Pluto DIY Nano Drone Kit Pluto 1.2 - for Learning Stem & Tinkering, Crash Resistant, Smartphone Controlled, Rechargeable Battery by Drona Aviation, 25 educational Drone Programming Projects

This was an amazing project for me. I loved the amazing idea of DIY (do it yourself ) kit. Looking at each and every part that goes into building a drone and following the step by step process to build-assemble the drone impressed me a lot. Pluto drone though looks complicated was simple to imagine after I build it. The step by step guide helps you understand the concept as well as help you build the drone. The second most thing that impressed me was - using my mobile phone to control the device ( I used Oneplus 3). I could calibrate and control my drone using my mobile phone. This is just like those amazing on screen action movies. Fun fact - I did this entire exercise together with my niece who is studies in 7 th standard at school. Even she could understand about all the components that goes into building a drone. It was very durable drone. I crashed it a couple of times on sofa, on table and twice on wall by mistake.

This is an excellent drone for beginners, specially for people who don't just want to fly the drone but also customise it with different peripherals. I am a beginner myself and so I picked this drone after researching for a bit. I have had a great time flying it and programming it as well. A minor setback was that a few days in, one rotor stopped working unexpectedly. But the customer support being really prompt, they sent me a replacement motor right away with just a 2 emails. If you're looking for a drone to just fly there might be other options (though I won't comment on their quality) but if you have the slightest tendency to explore things, or want to learn things you could do with a drone and are just starting out, I don't think anything else comes close to the Pluto 1.2

Glad that I bought this for my 11 years old son. He enjoys working with Pluto 1.2 drone and have started coding in Pluto blocks now. I am sure it will help him in the long run to gain interest in electronics and robotics. Appreciate the prompt support he gets from Pluto technical support. I would highly recommend this product for all science loving kids. Even I enjoy flying and flipping drone with him. Nice product by Drona aviation.

While assembling the unit, the drone got burnt. Unfortunately I couldn't return on time as it was my son's birthday gift and had to wait for a week to open it. Very Little support from call centre for a resolution. Have written mail to drona aviation. My humble request: please don't go for it. Manual didn't help at all. Video to assemble is what I followed

Got the drone delivered in 3 days. While everything was working fine the first day, after using for a day, it stopped getting charged. Tech support was pretty responsive. Got replacement in 2 days.
