This drone is exactly as described by the seller. It folds and is small but when operating its a powerful little drone. This drone meets all my expectations.

I got this little Eachine E58 from Amazon because of the liberal return policy and I was expecting this little drone to be a dud. I used to think it was horrible that they closely mimic a Mavic Pro with their design and paint job, and some E58 ads actually have a picture of a Pro. I bought it expecting to find it impossible to fly so I could trash it honestly the next time I was asked about it.What I found was a nice little $79 drone with three easily recharged LIPO batteries and a controller that uses AA . The startup procedure isn't obvious, but a bit of puzzling over the few paragraphs of instructions got it flying as soon as a battery was charged with a minimum of confusion.It is relatively stable compared to other toy drones I've flown once and thrown away, but nowhere near as rock-solid as the Mavic Pro it imitates. It wanted to drift steadily to the right and backwards so it needed quick correction, but this one was drifting slowly enough out of the box that I believe even a noob at drones would stand better than half chance of pulling off a first flight without crashing.I think a Tello is a better built and more capable mini-drone because it has an effective downward vision system and doesn't drift if it's flown in good light so it can perceive texture under it. The Tello plus a controller is a $150+ rig, and the E58 with a controller can bet got for $90 with 3 batteries. I think it's worth the savings if you want a cheap drone and would recommed the E58 as a good, cheap drone.The E58 has left/right and forward/backward trim buttons on its controller, and it'll maintain altitude with an OK little barometric altimiter. With just a little bit of practice it'll hover in place easiy, but is just as easily pushed around by a gust of wind since it apparently doesn't have IMU.I like the DJI GO4 and Parrot FreeFlight Apps better on a smartphone better than the one for the E58, but it's OK.The camera doesn't really have a gimbal, but you can push it up and down before a flight. The FPV is fine enough, and I believe the combo of an easy to fly drone plus FPV makes learning faster, makes it easier to think like the tiny little man in the drone when the thing's flying at your head.So, I'm favorably impressed with the value of this little drone. It can't compare in any way with the $799 drone it mimics, but I think it beats most other toy drones with FPV. I don't think it's as capable of aerobatics as a Tiny Whoop or other tiny drone that needs a $99 controller and can fly upside down. But, again, for $79 vs $179+, an E58 is excellent value...Now that I've flown it a few times I'll probably sell it on eBay and see what a used, flight-tested, E58 is worth.Some other tiny drones with FPV

Fun and easy to use. Flight time was as described. 720p camera worked as expected. The cell phone mount is a little bit difficult to use as it might hit the power button on your phone, but adding a paper spacer and a little tape can fix the issue. This drone is fast and the flip macro button works great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to try out a stable drone and not have to spend a lot of money.

This is a pretty cool piece. It has extra wings and 3 extra batteries. Love that you can place your phone on it and record from up high on it! Also is small and folds up great for storage. Satisfied with my buy!
