New to the drone world.

So picked up my first drone. Was at a local goodwill and they had a vivitar aeroview drone with extra propellers for 15 bucks. It was missing the charger which I ordered a bc r3 charger which i had read was recommended instead of the usb charger. I know this isn't the greatest of drones but for a good starting point and being 15 bucks I cant complain really. It does work as it had a Lil battery left so I'm just waiting to charge it up.

Does anyone know of a battery upgrade to fly it longer? I plan on maybe getting a couple more batteries so I can use it longer.

Welcome to the hobby. Unfortunately the Vivitar drone will be just good enough for you to want something better. It's happened to all of us. A sensible drone purchase so we can decide if we like drones that marks the beginning of a somewhat expensive hobby. I went from a first generation DJI Mini to a DJI Mini 3 Pro to a FIMI X8 Pro to a DJI Air 3.
At this point I went insane and now have an Arris M900, Tarot 680 Pro, and an Arris M2100. For context, the Arris M900 is 62 inches wide and the M3100 is almost 7 feet wide from propeller to propeller. I have around $12,000.00 invested in this hobby so far! I'm not complaining, I love building large custom aircraft but my savings account doesn't care for my new hobby! Lol
