Syma X5SW RC 2.4G 6-Axis FPV Quadcopter Drone Helicopter Headless With HD Camera IOS&Android Sync Real Time Video Black

The media could not be loaded.  ============= REASON FOR BUYING =============Once you get into flying drones you end up buying many, and like many enthusiasts they will tell you each one holds their own merits.if you join any drone group on social media you will see people have certain drones they use depending on weather and their mood.I like Syma drones (not all are amazing so do some reserch but many drone enthusiast will say certain Syma models are the best beginner drones and what many veterens began with.Each drone should be judged on what it can bring to the flyer and this is no different and I would honestly class this as brilliant but Tetchy============= WHAT YOU GET =============DRONEBATTERYREMOVABLE CAMERA (NICE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THIS)FEETPROP GUARDSSCREWDRIVERPHONE HOLDERCONTROLLER============= WEIGHT =============I don't normally do this but as this is one of the lightest mid sized drones I own I was curious to see the weight.With Prop Guards, feet, camera and Battery it weights in at 120G (See last pic)============= SET UP =============I flew this without attaching the feet or props and it was extremely difficult to fly and the drone is very light so the slightest throttle movement sent it flying. Once you attach the feet, camera and prop guards it adds more weight to this and the flying eperience is much better.As always, turn the drone on before the controller, then turn on the controller and push the left stick up and down to activate. 444============= HEADLESS MODE =============The top left shoulder button activates headless mode, when activated several beeps indicate this and the lights blinthis is a nice way to get used to the yaw and movement however once you've spent some time on this switch it off.============= 3D FLIPS =============The top tight shoulder button activates the flips, when the drone flips it drops several feet (see video) and in my limited indoor space I just managed to keep this under control but it's a load of fun.============= ABUSE TAKING CAPABILITIES =============I can hand on my heart say this is the toughest drone I've had so far (I have 15), however I have 3 more on the way so this could change! As you can see from the video I have a solid brick sealing, metal beams and pillars and this baby has hit all, fallen from 2 metres and remained intact.I recently had 6060 drone where I managed to break a foot from simimlar distance falls that this drone took so I am extremely happy with this drone and would recommend it to anyone============= CONCLUSION =============As mentioned, it's not easy to control as there's no altitude hold, which is not a bad thing. Once you get used to the sensitivity you can have lots of fun with this and also bash it about a bit.When you lift it, you will see the weight is minimal, and hence outdoor use should be kept to days where there's little or no wind.Yes, there are better more stable drones you can fly (see some of my other drone reviews), but for durability and fun I think this is absolutely ace.

For the price is working really well, it get connected quickly with the remote control which have a lot of information in a small screen.The drone is quite stable when there is no wind. Comes with two batteries which is a really good point because you can fly for at least 16 minutes.The camera get connected by a wifi signal and you can see the images in your phone using an app.great value!

i love this drone i bought it for my son and keep taking it of him very easy to use

Tried once, worked for less than 2 minutes (which is does say on the manual) but then the battery wouldn’t recharge at all. Sent back and got full refund. Also found exact same for cheaper in several proper shops (Hawkins Bazaar for one) where you know you’d have guarantee on them. I’d say don’t buy personally unless you get from a shop.

Ordered 2 one had parts missing the other had a malfunction and ended up lost in a tree so neither work and we set it up like stated as we have an expensive parrot drone here but want to see how the kids got on with one before making a massive purchase very disappointed

I have had 2 of these drones ,one was a replacement for the first that did not respond to any directions.the replacement was sent out and only 3 of the propellers worked, I have been promised a 3rd replacement but to date have had no reply.

Very good like

Excellent value for money, my husband will have hours of fun.
