Overview HISINGY's Firefly EX is a tiny nano quadcopter built specifically for kids 10+. Auto-hover, one-key takeoff/land, three speeds, propeller guards and rugged frame designed to survive crashes into walls, ceilings and pets.
HISINGY is one of the few brands that actually engineers around how kids fly — auto-hover keeps the drone steady when a child lets go of the stick, the propeller guards are full-coverage (not the half-shrouds budget toys ship with), and the three speed modes let a beginner ease in without immediately crashing into furniture. Battery swap is tool-free.
It is genuinely an indoor toy — no camera, no GPS, no outdoor wind resistance — but that's the right scope for ages 8-12. Spare props are cheap and widely available.
Pros
Purpose-built for kids 8-12, not a downscaled adult drone
Auto-hover and one-key takeoff/land
Full propeller guards survive routine wall hits
Three speed modes scale with skill
Cons
Indoor only — no wind resistance
No camera
Best for First drone for kids — learning to fly indoors without breaking expensive hardware.
Overview The HISINGY MACH 500 is the next size up — same kid-first engineering, faster flight, longer range and a sportier feel for kids who outgrew their first nano drone. Brushed motors, propeller guards, three speeds.
This is the upgrade path after the Firefly EX. Same brand, same safety priorities, but with more responsive controls and enough power to handle short outdoor flights on a calm day. Kids who have spent a month flying indoors will feel the extra speed without being overwhelmed by it.
Still no camera and not a GPS drone — for that you move into Potensic or DJI territory. But as the second drone in a kid's journey it lands at exactly the right price and capability point.
Pros
Faster and more responsive than entry nano drones
Holds calm outdoor wind better than basic toys
Three speeds plus 360° flips
Familiar HISINGY control layout
Cons
Still no camera
Brushed motors wear faster than brushless
Best for Kids who have mastered an entry drone and want more speed and reach.
Overview The HISINGY SKYBREAKER is a small RC quadcopter designed for kids 8-12 who want to learn real stick skills. Manual mode in addition to auto-hover, headless mode, programmed flight paths and full propeller guards.
Where the Firefly and MACH are all about safety and forgiveness, the SKYBREAKER adds a manual mode so the kid actually learns to fly without auto-stabilization holding their hand. That progression — auto → assisted → manual — is exactly how serious hobbyists are made, and HISINGY is one of the few brands that builds the path into a toy-class drone.
Programmed flight paths and trick modes (flips, circles) keep it entertaining when the kid wants to show off. No camera, but at this age the skills are the point.
Pros
Manual mode teaches real stick skills
Programmed flight paths and trick modes
Headless mode for orientation-confused beginners
Sturdy frame built for crashes
Cons
No camera
Manual mode has a learning curve — start in auto
Best for Kids building toward a real RC hobby, not just casual play.
Overview The FUNPX LED RC drone is a colorful kid-targeted quadcopter built as a gift — bright LED lighting for night flying, three speeds, headless mode, one-key takeoff/land and a chunky propeller-guard frame designed for ages 6+.
This is the gift drone — the one that goes in the box for a birthday or Christmas and is meant to delight on first flight rather than teach serious skills. LEDs make it visible in dim rooms and fun for evening backyard flights, the controller is simplified for small hands, and the autoland makes sure parents aren't fishing it out of a tree on day one.
It is genuinely indoor-and-calm-day-outdoor scoped — no real wind resistance, no camera — but for a 6-year-old getting their first drone, that's the right product.
Pros
Bright LED lighting — fun for night and dim rooms
Designed for ages 6+ with simplified controller
One-key takeoff/land and headless mode
Chunky frame survives a lot of bumps
Cons
No camera, no wind resistance
More toy than skill-builder
Best for A first drone gift for younger kids — the wow factor matters more than skill progression.
