The last drone I gave my grandson lasted one afternoon. He has flown this one into the kitchen wall, the door and the Christmas tree, and it just keeps going. He rings me every Sunday to show me a new flip.
The present he can crash and keep flying.
Christmas morning. The paper is off, and he is holding the one thing he has asked for since summer: a real drone. You know how the cheap ones end. One wall, one snapped propeller, tears before lunch.
The Velora SpiderCopter has every propeller inside a full LED cage. He flies it into the wall, it bounces, he presses the button and it is back in the air. That is the present he is still flying in February.
How it works with Velora
One button. Nothing to set up.
-
Step 1
Charge it over USB
Plug the battery into the USB charger in the box. No app, nothing to install.
-
Step 2
One button, lift-off
Switch on the drone and the controller, press one button and it takes off and holds its height.
-
Step 3
Fly, flip, light up
Three speeds to grow into, a 360° flip at the press of a button, and red and blue lights in the dark.
-
The result
Crash. Bounce. Keep flying.
The cage takes the knock, the emergency stop brings it down, and he is straight back in the air.
Built to hit the wall. Still flying.
You know how the cheap ones end: open propellers, one wall, the bin. The Velora SpiderCopter is built for real boys, not for a shop demo.
A full cage around every propeller. The wall, the sofa or the Christmas tree is a bounce, not a break, and little fingers stay away from the blades.
One button up, one button down. It takes off, holds its height and lands on its own. Heading for trouble? One long press on the emergency stop and it drops.
Three speeds. He starts slow on Christmas morning and is doing flips by Boxing Day.
Lights off. Drone up.
Red and blue lights run all the way around the cage, so in a dark living room it glows like nothing else under the tree. That is the moment most children start screaming.
Living room, hallway, the back garden or Grandma's on Boxing Day. It is made to fly indoors, so it lives in his room instead of at the bottom of the wardrobe.
1,126 families have ordered one. 94 came back for a second.
About the Velora team

What families say about the SpiderCopter
Mums and grandparents say this is the drone that finally lasted: the full cage takes the knocks from walls, furniture and the Christmas tree, and children are back in the air with one press of a button. Many mention that their child flew it on the first try thanks to one-key take-off, the emergency stop and the low speed, and that the red and blue lights turn the living room into a light show. Families with more than one child often ordered a second so they could race. A few wish it came in more colours.
He has flown it into the wall, the telly and the tree. The cage takes every knock and he just presses the button and goes again. Best present we bought this year.
Got two so my boys could race them round the living room. With the lights off it looks like a light show. They fly them every night before bed.
Sceptical, because the last drone we bought lasted one afternoon. One button to take off, the stop button saved it a few times, and my 7 year old flew it on the first try.
He asked for a real drone for months. Since Christmas Day the iPad has been in the drawer. He's in the garden with his dad every afternoon.
I never know what to get my grandson, he has everything. My daughter said drone. He screamed when the lights came on. Easiest present I've bought him.
We switched the lights off in the lounge and let it go up. Both kids screamed. My husband pretended he wasn't impressed and then flew it for an hour.
Bought it for my son and ended up ordering a second one so I could fly with him. The flips are brilliant and it handles the hallway fine.
He loves it. Only thing is his little brother wants a go every five minutes, so I've had to order a second. Should have done that straight away.
The emergency stop was what sold me. He heads for the curtains, one long press, it drops. No drama, and he's straight back up again.
My grandson is nine and very hard to impress. He said it was the best present of the lot, and he's still flying it at my house every weekend.
It has been chased by the dog, flown into the patio door and landed in the Christmas tree. Still flying. That cage earns its keep.
In the dark it glows red and blue all the way round. My daughter calls it the UFO. She wanted a drone as much as her brother did.
It feels like a proper drone with the controller and the flips, but the cage means it can take a knock. Perfect for an eight year old.
Opened it first on Christmas morning and the rest of the presents could wait. It was in the air before breakfast.
I was worried it would be too fiddly for my grandson. One button and it's up, one button and it lands. He was flying round the room in minutes.
Took my son a little while to get the hang of the high speed, so we put it back on low for the first day. By Boxing Day he was doing flips.
Bought the 2 pack so my twins each have their own. No more fighting over whose turn it is, they just race each other.
Gave it to my grandson for his birthday. His mum says he talks about Nana's drone to everyone at school. I'll take that.
Exactly like the pictures. The cage, the red and blue lights, the controller. My son loved it the second he saw it.
He parks it on his bedside table every night with the lights on until he falls asleep. Then it's straight back up in the morning.
We don't have a big garden so it needed to fly inside. It's perfect for the living room, and the cage means I'm not worried about the walls.
Press the flip button and it does a full 360 in the air. My son and his mates spent the whole afternoon doing it over and over.
I expected a gimmick for the price. It's not. It's been flown every day for three weeks and he still asks for it first thing.
Three grandsons, three drones, one very noisy Boxing Day. Their mums sent me videos all afternoon.
Half term is usually 'I'm bored' on repeat. This year he was out in the garden with the drone every day.
It holds its height on its own, so my son doesn't have to fight the controls. That's why he could fly it straight away.
He loves it, but now he's asking for another one so he can race his cousin. Should have bought the bigger pack.
Bought it for my son and my daughter took it off him within an hour. Ended up ordering a second so they each have one.
I wanted to be the one who gave the present he actually uses. This is it. He flew it all Christmas Day and showed me every trick.
Every night before bed he does a light show for his little sister with the lights off. She thinks it's magic.
I'll admit it, I've flown it more than my son has. The cage means I can crash it as often as I like.
Plug it in with the USB charger, wait, and it's ready. He's learnt to charge it himself, which is a first for anything in this house.
My husband and our grandson fly it together in the garden every Sunday. It's the best thing we've bought him.
Brilliant drone, my son loves the red one. Would love another colour for his brother. Flies perfectly indoors.
We spent a lot on a drone last year that he was too scared to fly. This one he grabbed and flew straight away.
It went straight into the Christmas tree on day one. The tree and the drone both survived. He was flying again ten seconds later.
Bought it for my son's eighth. He thinks he's a pilot now. The three speeds mean he started slow and is now on the fastest one.
I never know what the grandchildren want. This was easy and he loved it. Nana scored big this year.
The lights are what make it. Fly it in the garden at dusk and the whole street came out to watch.
He took a video of the light show to school for show and tell. Now half his class want one for Christmas.
Bought one for my son, my sister saw it and ordered one for my nephew the same night.
We've been trying to get him off screens for ages. A drone that lights up turned out to be the answer.
Took him a day to work out the flip button, then he was doing it constantly. Great present.
My grandson won't put it down. His mum says he even wanted to take it to the shops.
With the cage round the propellers I'm happy for him to fly it with his toddler sister in the room.
He wanted a real drone, not a toy. The controller and the flips make it feel like the real thing to him.
Every flying toy we've bought ended up in the bin by New Year. This one is still flying in February.

Excellent! 4.8/5 based on 3,146 reviews
Best thing we have bought in years
Bought it for the grandchildren and ended up ordering one for myself as well. Ordering was simple and customer service answered within the hour when I asked a question.
One of my best buys
Honestly one of the best things I have bought. The children had it out of the box before they were dressed.
The whole family loves it
Bought it before December and was pleasantly surprised. No batteries to hunt for, no faff, just something they actually use.
Perfect Christmas present
Gave it to my sister for her boy, and she is impossible to buy for. She sent me a video of him on Christmas Day. Thank you.
Tracked and lovely quality
Tracked all the way to the door. Looked exactly like the photos and the quality is better than I expected.
