AMERFIST Flying Orb Ball Toy review

TL;DR

The most-reviewed orb in this ranking by a wide margin. Flight is fine, the return arc is loose, and the 4.0 average tells you the experience is not uniform across units.

Who it's for

After a fortnight of flying these in a backyard, a school hall and a living room, here is where this one lands.

• •Good for: Buyers who trust volume of reviews

Materials and build

A standard caged orb in moulded plastic with an RGB core. Nothing about the build stands out either way; it feels like the reference design that most of this category is built from.

First flight

Shake-to-start works as advertised. The hover response to a hand underneath is quick, but the return arc after a straight toss drifts, so you spend more of the session walking than catching.

Where it actually gets used

Best in an open yard or park where drift does not matter. Indoors it will find a wall.

What I liked

• •Hand-controlled RGB drone action with no remote to lose
• •Very light and genuinely portable
• •USB charging with a short charge time
• •Enormous owner base, so tricks are easy to look up

What I didn't

• •Return arc is loose — you chase it more than you catch it, unlike our #1
• •Rated 4.0, the weakest average of the orbs we ranked
