Syma X5sw - Comments

Conclusions: I honestly enjoyed my original X5c better. This seems to be a bit sluggish especially when using the fpv. Battery lasts about five minutes. I used to get about 10 on the other one. No audio on camera either. Doesn't seem as powerful or handle or hover as well as my x5c. Fpv is a bit slow

Conclusions: the camera didn't come with it

Conclusions: Loved it easy to use, just wish the battery life was longer...

Conclusions: This is a good drone for the price point. Mine did not come with a charger which did not matter as i ordered spare batteries that came with a charger. The drone is great for entry level. I am highly disappointed in the camera that is far from HD. The camera is actually very poor quality and this is one of the things i had hoped we be good to get some good shots of my property and a few cool photos on vacation. The pictures are not worthy for any pictures of people and friends. The quality is very low. That being said, the drone works as described and is a great toy. For the small price tag obviously I was expecting too much, but it did say the camera was HD. If i did it again I would save a little extra money and get one with a better camera.

Conclusions: Its a good drone for the price. However I didn't get all the items it was supposed to come with, thus returning and will get another one and see what happens. Its not very stable when there is some wind, otherwise it generally works okay. It loses range after about 40 ft or so for me so was difficult to fly at a distance away, the camera didn't come with its attachment either so I had to use tape to tape it down but this became an issue. The quality of the camera is okay, but not the best, its not HD, there is significant lag when using on wifi and FPV, so can't really be used for FPV flying, more for taking delayed video etc. Overall, not a bad drone for the price, its a good beginner drone.

Conclusions: This quad is too under powered to fly in any breeze. I lost it a 3mph wind. It was carried away.

Conclusions: This is my third quad. So far it flies well, handles pretty good, but just feels heavier when I fly it compared to my other quads. The camera works fine. The interface went without a hitch. What I don't like about it is like with every quad the flight time to recharge time is just ridiculous. It takes forever to trim out. LED readout on transmitter is really small and hard to see for us old guys. I wanted to buy this one as a transition from a learner to a bigger badder drone. I think it will do that well.

Conclusions: I bought this to experience the first person view before I upgraded to a more expensive flyer. The package was pretty beat up when it arrived and the blade guards were warped to the point that the blades hit them. I just threw on a set from my x5c. Fpv works fairly well for a quad under 50 bucks. Headless mode seems to work fine but won't be using it to much. Overall, the x5c is a better flyer and I'll probably be flying that one most of the time. By the way, what's with the hooks on the blade guards? They catch everything!

Conclusions: This was a great drone until the wind blew into the top of a tree where it has now been living for the past 4 months. I cannot wait until if falls down so i can see if it still works. This is a great drone with no wind what so ever or just for inside.

Conclusions: Pros: -This is an amazing drones for beginners. -It is an FPV drone -The remote has headless mode Cons: -There is a slight interference with the remote and the camera. -The motors are unreliable. -It is not the best in winds.

Conclusions: Here aretake , first everthing works 2 stars come with some extra blades 1 star , the results is if you have any wind at all youve got no control . ? It leaves you dead in the water , battery life not bad but good ,other the short comings . We will not buy this again

Conclusions: One of the propellers stop working the first day. Now, was it my 11 year old's fault or the manufacturer. I do not know (-:

Conclusions: Two hours charge for 5 min flying time.

Conclusions: This drone is a good price but it is a little fragile.

Conclusions: Software not working with HTC One M8 with Android 5.0.2 but works with Motorola Droid Maxx on Android 4.4.4. It seems to fly just fine so far. Very stable.

Conclusions: In my limited use of the drone everything seems acceptable. Came with two instructions, Chinese (glossy booklet with quality photos) and English (printed on regular paper, with poor, or missing, photos). In addition, the clip used to mount the cell phone to the remote does not fit the remote. There is no way to attach it to the remote making it useless (perhaps they just packaged the incorrect clip?)

Conclusions: Arrived 2 weeks early. Packaging left something to be improved on. They simply put the box in a bubble envelope and sent it from Shanghai to Chicago. Needless to say the box was completely crushed. All the items were in good condition though. Flew the copter for the first time in very calm conditions. The copter flys very stable and was very easy to set up. I really like the way the battery door works and the fact that there is an on off switch on the copter. The bad part was that you could tell that it was fighting with even a small breeze. I dont know if i would call it a wind bug. I think its just that this copter is so light and the new landing gear catches to much wind. I did not have the prop guards on it but i think that would have made it worse. Im going to try and fly it with out the landing gear and camera next time and see if it improves. All in all your getting some cool technology with the wifi fpv on a decent copter for less than $80.

Conclusions: Very nice to play indoors or without wind! It broke in less than 4 weeks.

Conclusions: Article seems very good the mail delivery much fail

Conclusions: Shipping dolgovato, but it is due to the holidays, box a little wrinkled, but it works, while testing
