Review on Syma X5SW-V3 WiFi FPV Drone with Camera 🚁 - 2.4Ghz 4CH 6-Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter in White by Robert Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The drone worked in all aspects and was easy to fly

This was my first drone. I wanted an inexpensive one that I could learn from in case I crash or lose it. I lost it. The drone worked in every way and was easy to fly. I read the instructions and flew to my office to check it out. It only took a few minutes to set up the blades and install the battery. I took it outside and flew it over my building in the business district. I immediately noticed that the wind is annoying, even if you don't feel it. The controls worked, the drone responded. It connected to my android (settings, wifi, wait a minute) then launch the app and shoot a video. I took it to my morning jungle where I will build a hut (that was the main purpose to get a drone to fly over the ground and study the video). The first 2 times it was fine but the 3rd time it must have been caught by the wind and blown south. Due to the densely wooded area, recovery was hardly possible. It's very light here, and although I didn't feel the wind on the ground, it blew over the trees. So find a big field to fly, not in the jungle. It's very simple and you will lose it. I have 4 extra batteries. Maybe I'll buy more for the grandkids. A fully charged battery lasts for about 5 minutes of flight. Because the camera is fixed, your options are limited. All in all, it's a good learning experience and a fun toy, but not for the serious. It's worth the price but keep it close to the base.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Protection
