- This is an on the fly review of the Sharper Image Glow Stunt Drone From Walmart. I paid $39.88 plus tax and also found it for $41.99 on Amazon.
Was it worth it? Should you buy one? Check out the video to find out if it's a good one!
You can find this drone on the shelf at walmart or you can buy it from Amazon for close to the same price.

Love watching your video's for over 20 years I lived right down the street from where you fly very cool to see Philly representing with some drone vids.
Cool to hear you are near! Someday we might fly!
Philly and day and nite.
Has CZcams even been out for 20 years
This was the drone that got me into drone flying, it helped me improve my flying skills
Cool! Now you need to try drone WITHOUT altitude hold 👍🏾
Cool!
My girl just got me this as part of my bday gift and I'm already planning my upgrade. Gonna practice on this thing and go big soon. This stuff is so cool.
Welcome to the hobby! 👍🏿
just got this drone for my son. i have a feeling hes going to love it. nice video man
Thanks man! Lights are great on it!
We have been dealing with some morning fog yesterday & today over where I'm at bro. Awesome job on the flight
Thanks man!
My drone will not shut off, the lights are on and won’t shut off. I tried pushing the button on the drone and nothing still. The remote works fine but drone won’t turn off, and I’m unable to use it/ fly it. The lights are NOT blinking, just stuck.
This is the same problem I’m having. I can here to see if anyone has a solution. If you find one please tell me
Exact same problem here. Haven't found a solution.
You guys the drone eventually just died. Lights turned off. I hooked it up on the charger and waited till it completely charged up and then paired it up to the remote and it started working again. I think there was a glitch or something misfired
WOW. Did you hold the button a few seconds?
You're a good pilot. I had a bigger SI drone and just got one of these, for a kid. When I tested it I decided that I need one too.
Thanks man! It's fun flying at night👍🏾
@@FrequentFlyerRC that will be fun... I have a sharper image DX5 that has some internal LEDs but I was in awe when I turned this one on. It seems like they should have added a beep button, though, by now. Even with lights, it can get stuck under something, so a button to help locate it by beeping would be ideal. If I can't find the DX5 I will stand still and run the fans, sometimes that helps me find it. Happy flying, Ace.
Degeged
It's held up to all my crashes,done well so far
Awesome 👍🏿
Bought one of these at Target a couple of years ago while I was on vacation and didn't bring anything to fly. I came very near losing it flying at a high school athletic field. Got it too high and too far away (range is a bit limited). Lost contact and it kept on going for several seconds before it finally shut down just before it would have went over a tree line! All in all, it's a decent little toy. Flys well indoors and is pretty in the air at dusk.
I wish it didnt have height hold🤷
@@FrequentFlyerRC Do you happen to know what protocol it might be using? Could fly it multi-protocol and probably increase my range.
@@mssippijim unfortunately, I have tried to no avail🤷🏿♂️
I just got one of these and it just does whatever it wants
🤣😂
Nice review. To answer your question - Fog/Humidity make the air more dense so signal range is reduced with the weather you were flying in. This is a fun little drone.
Thanks man and thanks for watching 👍🏿
I've had it for like an hour and now I've lost power to it. It pairs and calibrates but after that the props don't move and the drone starts blinging rapidly
Check batteries
Can u show us how to drive an illuminator light up drone
I just purchased one and am looking foward to testing it.
It was very fun and easy to control. I love the fast mode.
Awesome! I just got another similar drone but seems to be a bit smaller! Test coming to the channel soon👍🏾
Does this have a camera? I heard you mention something about a mount. I'm new...lol...how was the footage from the camera? Do I have to purchase a camera or something?
No cam on this one. No attachment on it to add one either but you don't want the cameras they have on these little drones anyway. They are usually nothing special... bad even! LOL
I do like this drone but where on earth do you buy replacement propellers? I've look in several places and have not seen any place carry the propellers for this particular drone. I'm not even sure what size they are.
I would search on Amazon or ebay. What about the extras it comes with?
mine stopped turning on after I used the emergency stop control on its 3rd flight. ALl the lights just turrrned off and it fell out of the air. Now I can only turn it on while its plugged in, but it wont charge or turn on while unplugged.
You need to take it back to the store for return or dare to open it up. Sounds like a wire came unconnected.
My flew away when I used to land button.
I just got this drone and it works amazing, has a decent battery life and I can fly it in the dark. I recommend this to new drone flyers because its really strong and doesn't break. Also, nice video!
Thanks man. Its a good night flyer being well lit. Is this your first drone?
@@FrequentFlyerRC yes, and im getting really good with it 😁
Where did you order
i just bought my kid one he was using it and now 2 of the circles dont stay on they turn on and off only 2 stay on
anybody experiencing the same thing?
My son got this for his bday and my nephew lost it within the neighborhood. How far (like in feet)does this get away from the controller/pilot
+Kenya Clark sorry for your loss. How far really depends on how fast the wind is moving that takes it.. The drone can stay in the air for at least 8 minutes!
Cool review.. seems to be a nice one..👍.. can it bind to a jumper?
Thanks man, unfortunately, no
What does the B,F,R,L trim do and what does auto orientation do
The trims are for when the drone drifts too much to one side in hover. Tap the trim a few times in the opposite direction of the Drift to stop the Drift. Auto orientation is headless mode👌🏿
I love mine
Pretty cool eh? 😁👍🏾
I bought one for my son but when I go to like take off it just dives hard to one side any advice?
Yes, swap the front propeller and rear propeller on the side it dives or flips over towards..
My son's drone got away. How far can it have flown before losing batter? Even after hitting emergency landing the drone kept on going and we lost it.
That sucks. Unfortunately, they can fly pretty far away once they get too high and the wind catches it! These companies need to stop putting altitude hold on these drones because beginners find it hard to bring them down sometimes.
We lost the replacement blades in the chaos of Christmas, anyone have any luck finding replacement blades that will fit?
Try www.banggood.com
I just bought one and it will not hover after take off. It goes up, turns off, and then crashes every time. Any tips?
Sounds defective for sure! Take it back.
I just got one earlier and it's freakin awesome! My dogs look at it like it's an alien! 🤣 🤣 🤣
A great little investment! Definitely a go! 👍🏽💪🏽
Happy to hear you like it! 👍🏾
My son got it for Christmas. He lost it this week, it came out of his sight range and it fell. Is there a way to track it?
Sorry, there is no way I know of to track it. May Almighty God return it to you or give you better. This is a part of the hobby though. I have lost drones that way too. 💯
When you say recalibrate do you mean set the trim?
No, reset gyro and accelerometer
Where do you buy replacement blades? Mine broke pretty quickly.
I can't find any, might have to cut some from another small drone on Amazon
I just bought this for my son and it came with an extra set of props.
It's a company number that came with the drone in the box it came in (The one specifically that says "Do not return to store") I'm sure if you call that number and inquire about the blade replacement, they'll be able to assist you.
Mine doesn't really hover. Soon as I take off it moves around a lot I don't know how to work the trim?
This drone has altidude hold, it doesn't have position hold. You have to make it hover in one spot with your control if you want it to not move laterally
@@FrequentFlyerRC then what does the trim do?
Why does my remote makes beep sounds every 6 seconds even though the drone is not in orientation mode for this drone?
Means the batteries in the transmitter (controller) are dying. Fresh batteries should stop the beeping 👍🏾
@@FrequentFlyerRC thanks for your suggestion I will try that and see what happens
Mine was working for a day and now it’s just blinking lights and won’t turn or or fly
Battery fully charging?
Good video. My son wants a RC airplane and I’m looking at this drone at Target. Might be fun. I don’t expect it to last long he might land it in a tree
Hopefully hell have fun and play indoors first to learn the controls and then he'll be flying like a pro! Kids learn way faster than us!
I got a drone just like this only it’s black and does not glow in the the dark and the first day I got it it was stuck in a tree luckily I got it out
How long is it supposed to fly mine only flys for a couple mins
Should get about 6 to 7 minutes with it depending on how hard you fly it.
It's a dope lil drone. Haven't flown mine in a week. I need more blades. Where can I find some?
Amazon is my one stop shop for props but they can be bought on banggood, Gearbest and even ebay also👌🏿
How to get wire off the battery by in boxing?
Remove the battery cover
How does it work I need to make it work do you need to charge it
Yes. Battery is non-removable
I can’t get mine to fly backwards towards me thing just takes off
Check the trims
How do you change the propellers? just pulling them out? My kid broke one and I was about to change it with one of the spare ones but I was afraid of messing with the motor. Thanks in advance!
Yes, pull it up and off, press new on down and on but make sure the replacement prop has same directional slant... Very important. Otherwise, drone won't lift off to fly
It’s also at mires
Cool
If you lose the controller do you know if there’s an app for it?
I have not been able to successfully get this drone to fly with another transmitter... I have tried.
What’s the app
How can I remove the cables to charge it?
Don't understand what you mean but the charge cable plugs into the back of the drone. And you just pull it out when charging is done.
Bottom of drone gas wire tabs sticking out. Where does charging cable plug into drone?
I just bought one, my contoller doesn't seem to work at all, no lights no sound, I put brand new batteries
Take it back!
@@FrequentFlyerRC I got it all packed back up going to take it back after work😁👍 this video is the reason I bought one in the first place, looks like one I can actually fly
@@FrequentFlyerRC ok...so, I returned it, got a new one, controller works, but as soon as I try to "take off" it just takes off in one direction, it won't "hover" in place, am I doing something wrong?
Mine doesn't work anymore what do I do two of the parts that fly don't anymore
Propellers won't spin?
@@FrequentFlyerRC yes
How to turn the headless mode? Thanks
It's the button that says "Auto Orientation" on the bottom left👌🏿
@@FrequentFlyerRC gracias!
I just got this today currently waiting for it to charge
First drone?
It's great for the... 7-10 minutes you have, before your hour charge. I love it for all but that
You gotta get a hobby-grade charger for a quick charge on some of these quads
Pretty normal for toy grades. I wish it had interchangeable batteries.
Me too! The Amazon version has that 👌🏿
how do I take out the try me thing?
Pull straight out
My son has same drone but yesterday he try to fly it but one of the left side green light doesn't want to fly and keeps circle around on the floor, idk what's wrong...he just got it 5 days ago.
Make sure the propellers are not bent.
I got thsi drone a few day’s ago and at fist it flew amazing but then it just started have problems the next day 1 two of the props stoped spinning as fast as tha6 need 2 it’s props don’t spin fast enough after the fisrt day 3 I think the battery has something to do with it.
Charge the battery fully
does anyone know how to replace the blade?
Sure, just carefully pull them off and press the new ones on making sure the replacement blade has the same directional slants on the blade as the one removed from that particular spot. Front-left and back-right propellers are identical and front-right and back-left propellers are identical.
Sorry... I was talking to that robot Chick in the comments and she snubbed me. Even the fake chicks don’t Dig me, man! Ha ha
I’m hoping you got this one free. Built in battery makes me sad. Lol I feel a mod coming on.
Thanks for the early video!
Have a great day!!
🤣😂🤣😂
How do you flip it?
There is a flip button. Press it and give a direction on the right stick same time..
How did u do the calibration?
Both sticks to lower inside corners for about 3 seconds..i mention it at 1:28 (if the timestamp is blue you can click on it to go to the point in the video)
@@FrequentFlyerRC noticed it afterwards. Thanks for letting me know though. 👍
How do you reset this drone?
Both stick to lower left or lower right corner
I got that for my birth day and my birth day is today and i have the same drone
Awesome! How do you like it?
How do I calibrate it?
Mention it a 1:28 in the video👍🏿(move both sticks to the.. Click on the blue "1:28 🤣😂)
@@FrequentFlyerRC yea but couldn’t you have showed it visually ?
@@Leslie-wz5ro indeed, I probably should have but it's described in the instructions manual with pictures too 👌
Mine broke in less than an hour and I know how to drive it perfectly it just broke ☹️
Take it back to Walmart!
@@FrequentFlyerRC ok bet
I bought mine a few months ago, never got a charging cable with the drone. Can you suggest where to buy one and what its name is , have tried a few and dont seem to work.
This is the one you need: amzn.to/3KGbi7n
Mine just flys for a second can you help me please?
Must make sure the battery is charged fully
@@FrequentFlyerRC thx bro
I had this drone and it stopped charging after 3 flights
Wow
@@FrequentFlyerRC yeah idk if it’s suppose to last longer or if it’s something that I did. Does yours still work?
How do you flip
Flip button on right shoulder of controller
yo where is the camera located
No camera on this
....👍👍👍👍
🤣👍🏾
How long does that battery last
About 6 minutes
@@FrequentFlyerRC only issue I have wish battery lasted longer 🤔
mine flies toward me without doing anything
You gotta "trim" it. Press the top middle button until it no longer flies towards you.
If we buy from Walmart we have to give dollar?
I dont understand what you mean
l got the drone yesterday it was ,my birthday
How do you like it?
Where did you buy this drone
Walmart. Look in description of the video i always put a link to buy it
Get it from Amazon : amzn.to/2IOhi3b
Ok thanks😍
How to buy
Link in description 👌🏾
Where can I get this
You can walk in Walmart, Target and other similar store and get it when in stock or you can get it where I got my second one here :
amzn.to/3Nyn9Hh
Also, I just did a review of another version of a glow drone, the Force 1 UFO 4000 here:
czcams.com/video/1zxE4Sy_yWY/video.html
the battery life is fast
Indeed
Mine lasted a couple weeks
Then what happened?
I had it for 2 secs and it flew away. I couldn’t find it. Now regrets awaits 😭
Wow. Happened to my nephew too! Sorry for your loss! 😕
We got two. They suck so bad
I definitely liked the Amazon version from Shample a little more.
Walmart ?
This could your greatest Jumper challenge. Show what Glow Stunt Drone can do with that right coach.
I think this may be a JXD rebrand! Gonna try to figure it out 👍🏽
@@FrequentFlyerRC "You have my full confidence on this mission Major Frequency . "
czcams.com/video/30QzJKCUekQ/video.html
I won’t mine fly
Won't fly?
@@FrequentFlyerRC yea I charge it put new batteries and everything but still
@@COBRAA128 does it at least power on?
@@FrequentFlyerRC yes
Try both sticks to the lower left for a few seconds. After it stops blinking them try both sticks to lower right. Then after flashing stops try both sticks to lower outside corners to start the motors.
If it’s a stuntDrone then do a stunt already
The only Stunt it does is the flip! I think the name is just for marketing 👌
Awful revew
Sorry you didn't like it but why? 🤔
