Syma X5sc - Comments

Conclusions: It's cool for the price.

Conclusions: good like it, as good as expected

Conclusions: 1/4/16 I think this is a great drone, and its relatively easy to fly. I think that with practice, there is no need for the bumpers, and the camera is not amazing, but good enough to enjoy views. The only reason it got 4 stars from me is because I was unable to view video footage.I tried on a Mac and on a Windows PC and neither allowed me to view the videos. The pictures worked fine. I just wish I could view the videos. Thank you Syma for another great product! 1/11/16 Sadly today, I ended up flying my drone into a tree. It got caught in the branches at around 100ft. Normally I would take the blame, but not this time. The drone lost control at that height, and did not respond to the signal. I am hoping that it will fall down somehow, but I am disappointed with the loss of connection. Syma is still a reliable company, but I do not suggest taking this drone above 85ft.

Conclusions: This X5SC aircraft worked well right out of the box . I have not had the "wind" problem as described by others yet However the headless mode can sometimes get confused and needs to be recalibrated by holding both sticks back and toward the left. A minor inconvenience. Removing the camera and prop guards does smarten up the aircrafts performance quite a bit. Battery time is about the same as the X5C but you do get a decent warning of flashing lights in time to land before the model self aborts, .unlike the X5C that only tells you when its about to crash. You can put much larger batteries in this version and increase flying time but I would not fly too long at one time as the motors do get very warm.

Conclusions: I can't rate this as five stars due to it having some sort of design problem that affects its flight in even the slightest breeze. It seems to be a problem with its stabilization programming -- if you try to fly it into a headwind, it acts like it's trying to correct an imbalance, and slowly stops flying forward, levels out, and you find you're gaining altitude instead. In the wrong circumstances with an inexperienced pilot, this could easily lead to loss of the quadcopter. I recommend the earlier model X5C instead -- it's the best little quadcopter I've ever flown.

Conclusions: This was a gift, and there was a lot of excitement about this. Don't really know how well he was able to fly the drone.

Conclusions: Good flier, works great. Battery is a little small. I use "Obbey" 850mAH batteries and get much better flight times over the 500mAH.

Conclusions: A very good drone for the first timer.

Advantages: Highly recommended for beginners because: - cheap, so you don't have to pay a bag of money if you kill it - durable, my X5SC survived some serious crashes with a few scratches - parts, you can buy spare parts easely - has a camera, so you can try out aerial filming/photography - easy to control, flies stable

Limitations: - in windy conditions you have to be careful, because it's a lightweight quadcopter, with a relatively large surface, so the wind can take it away - the camera cannot produce usable photos/videos
