Flying toys for nephew - need help finding best flying orb ball that actually works!

Babysitting my sister's kid next weekend and wanna be the cool uncle for once. He's been spamming me with tiktok vids of these things.


Thing is - got burned last Christmas with that "popular" drone that died after 5 mins. Not trying to waste cash again. Been searching reviews but feels like every video's sponsored these days.


Got about 40 bucks to spend. Just want something that'll survive longer than his attention span (and maybe not destroy my apartment lol).

Desk drawer contains seventeen confiscated flying orbs from this semester. Considering starting black market resale operation to supplement teacher salary. Joking. Mostly. Education career has interesting ethical considerations nobody warned about

Treated three flying orb related injuries this month alone. Children's temporal awareness vs spinning blade physics creates predictable outcomes. Still bought nephew one because hypocrisy keeps life interesting apparently

Bought flying orb purely because corporate email said "no recreational devices in workspace." Small acts of defiance sustain soul during quarterly earnings calls. Haven't actually used it, rebellion symbolic apparently sufficient

Ended up getting the Flynova Pro for my niece's birthday. She handed it back to me after four minutes and went to find her tablet. I have been flying it every evening since. it's mine now

The "not destroy my apartment" part of OP's requirements is doing a lot of work. These things have one mode indoors and it's "aimed directly at the one thing in the room you cannot replace." buy two and accept the loss before it happens

10 minute charge = 10 minutes flight. not 30, not an hour, ten. nephew will hand it back to you with a dead battery after the first session and look at you like it's your fault. bring a powerbank or you are not the cool uncle, you are the guy who brought a broken toy πŸ’€
