For beginners, drones can be intimidating.
But with the Sky Viper Journey GPS Drone from Skyrocket, there’s appeal for those just starting out, as well as experts who have been dipping their toes in the world of these devices for a while.Â
First, for only $99.99, this drone won’t break the bank — but still has the features similar to that of a pricier hobby-grade drone. And thanks to a simple app to download, it’s extremely easy for teens ages 12 and up to set it up and get it in the sky.Â

With a phone mount connected to the controller, everything in the drone’s vision is also right in front of the person controlling it, while also recording high-definition 720p video for later that will be saved in both the app and in camera roll.Â
The drone can be a bit scary to control in windy weather at first. However, with a Return to Home button that brings it to land exactly where it was launched from, beginners can explore their new drone and develop their skills with confidence. Because of this feature, kids can also use it as an indoor drone with enough caution.Â
Although the drone is guaranteed to, the epic flying experience kids will gain while learning how to use the Sky Viper Journey won’t go right over their head.
