It's the same conversation every time. Your child materializes with a phone, eyes wide, showing you a glowing orb that flies around like a tiny UFO. 'Can we get this?' they ask, voice climbing three octaves. You open the tab. You click the reviews. You sigh in a way that only a parent can.
See it, Dad? →What Is It?
The RC Flying Ball is an orb-shaped drone that's supposed to hover and zoom around on a whim. It's got LED lights, it's cordless, and it absolutely looks like something out of a spy movie. Which is great, because it also flies like something from a spy movie made in 1987.
What Does the Internet Think?
With 6,700 reviews, this thing has had plenty of chances to impress people. It landed at 3.6 stars, which is the rating equivalent of 'it works, but you'll regret it.' Owners consistently mention battery issues, sketchy flight stability, and a learning curve steeper than the side of a mountain. ★★★½☆ across 6,700 reviews.
Here's the thing: we actually have that at home. It's called a kite, and it costs five bucks. The RC Flying Ball Drone sounds incredible in theory and performs like someone's first attempt at engineering in practice. Save your money and your patience. Your kid will forget about it in three weeks anyway.
