  is this any good…? is it normal to have 8-10 mins flight time?

  Given you're supposedly in their marketing, you might know,

  Why do these things only seem to have about 10 minutes battery life? Like, why can't they have a bigger battery thrown in there?

  I saw one the other week, it claimed about five minutes off a 200mah battery, the battery in my Nokia is small and discrete and that's a 1200mah, six times the capacity. Is there a way to upgrade the battery or something or what? That Nokia battery wouldn't be so big in physical size that it would weigh the drone down or anything.

    Usually drones work off two or three cells in series, ie 7-12V, unlike the single cell (or multiple cells in parallel, for longer battery life) in your phone. This one claims to work off a 1-cell LiPo which, if restricted by space, doesn't leave you many options to increase flight time.

    Nokia battery does not have the current capacity. Though it is LiPo.

    Looking at specs, battery is 22g, rest of copter is 80g.
    This is what you get for $60.

    The bigger the battery, the heavier, the more power it takes to lift it, the faster the battery goes flat. You might put a battery twice the size in, but only get a few more minutes of flight time.

    These use LiPo batteries which are different to Li ion batteries that your phone uses. LiPo batteries have extreme discharge rates. For example, I have a small LiPo battery, not much bigger than a deck of cards, that I can use to jumpstart a car.

    You could buy a bigger battery and see if you can make it work. You can buy LiPo batteries from Hobbyking.

    Of course not, that battery only weighs more than this drone does so why should it affect performance!

    It's all very well to compare mAh but unless you're quoting the voltage it's meaningless.

    Holy shit, I didn't realise it would be THAT light. I was expecting at least a few hundred grams, upon actually reading the specs, damn that thing's light.

    Gotta wonder how these things would hold up against even a light breeze.

      Sounds like you want a DJI Spark, but that costs 10X as much.

        Sounds like I'm clueless and don't know what I'm looking into tbh.
