Nothing in the instructions explained the beeping. I never did get it to connect to my phone other than the video view. \n\nAfter re charging the battery the drone would power up, but the controller would not connects. The drone seems okay, but the controller is very lightweight and cheap. Buttons seem to be hit or miss if they are going to work. \n\nI tried the support button from the app and only got links to the instructions. I tried the website for support in the instructions and the page does not exist. When I dialed the phone number for support it seemed to be non existent as well.","textLength":693,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"245487397","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":7,"code":"VAL01","label":null,"value":1},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":12,"code":"DUR01","label":null,"value":1},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":17,"code":"QUAL1","label":null,"value":1}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"James","firstName":"James","lastName":"Mayor","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-07-09T16:00:28-04:00","purchaseDate":"2023-12-22T14:47:12-05:00","dateCreated":"2023-12-26T14:51:07-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"816322-18382","title":"Sky Viper Journey GPS Drone","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/816322-18382","category":"remote-control-and-drones","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":2,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":3,"2":1,"3":0,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4134177,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Drone","text":"Battery last less than 60 seconds …. \nHave control for about 30 seconds of battery life then assuming is to low on battery to follow commands… very disappointed","textLength":160,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"243468950","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":7,"code":"VAL01","label":null,"value":1},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":13,"code":"DUR02","label":null,"value":2},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":18,"code":"QUAL2","label":null,"value":2}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Joe","lastName":"Stlouis","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-07-09T16:01:05-04:00","purchaseDate":"2023-11-26T09:19:05-05:00","dateCreated":"2023-12-25T21:20:35-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"816322-18382","title":"Sky Viper Journey GPS Drone","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/816322-18382","category":"remote-control-and-drones","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":2,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":3,"2":1,"3":0,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":2490912,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great Drone for Beginners","text":"I recently bought the Sky Viper Journey GPS Drone for two of my family members and they are absolutely loving it so far.

It comes with a lot of features that make it great for beginners, like the one-touch takeoff and landing, the automated flight modes, and the auto-hover feature. The GPS also makes it easy to track the drone and keep it from getting lost. The image quality is also surprisingly good for such an affordable drone.

Flying is simple – navigate with one finger and a single joystick or maintain a stable hover in mid-air with no hands on the controller. Then, just press a button and the built-in GPS automatically brings it home. \n \nThe Journey GPS Drone uses a network of satellites for positional awareness, pinpointing its exact location in relation to you. It handles the heavy lifting of basic flight while you focus on the fun. \nUsing GPS to track its route, the Journey GPS can fly back to its launch point and land with the push of a button. \n \nWhat's included:\n<ul>\n\t<li>1 - Drone</li>\n\t<li>1 - Controller</li>\n\t<li>1 - Phone mount holder</li>\n\t<li>1 - 3.7V 1200 mAh LiPo battery</li>\n\t<li>1 - USB charger cable</li>\n\t<li>1 - Set (4) replacement blades</li>\n\t<li>4 - Blade guards</li>\n\t<li>2 - Pro-Style thumb sticks</li>\n\t<li>2 - Game-Style thumb sticks</li>\n\t<li>1 - Screwdriver & extra screws</li>\n\t<li>1 - Operators manual</li>\n</ul>\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Journey GPS continuously checks its position and self-adjusts as needed, automatically correcting for the effects of wind to maintain its coordinates.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>DSSS TRANSMITTER - Spread spectrum modulation significantly reduces interference and improves signal strength at greater distances.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>WIRELESSLY DOWNLOAD 720P VIDEO - Wirelessly download high quality video directly to your smartphone after your flight.
