Review on Syma Channel 2 4GHz Explorers Copter by Badpuppy Warton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A fun copter! best in vehicles

Syma X5c What a cracker! I bought it along with an extra charger and a set of 6 batteries. I recommend the optional supplement. I unpacked the thing in no time and threw away almost everything except for the quad manual and setup. This thing is very sensitive and controllable! I spend a few minutes with it almost every day and now I can control it without much excessive movement. It has a wide range of motion with precise gradation in between. It's nice to get to the point where you can fly where you want without having to roll back and forth sharply. The camera works fine. Captures photos and videos. As someone else said, don't forget to end your video while everything is still running or it won't save. The range is pretty good until you really try to get it there and then you discover its limitations. I would say mine is about 80 meters and 100 feet tall. So less than 150 yards tops! You'll know immediately when it's out of range. Basically, you lose control temporarily or permanently. That's awful. I had dropped it 100ft in the grass (no damage). There is a modification to increase the range. I will research and contribute my experiences. And falling from the air leads to another moment. This run is damn hard! I speak hard! Difficult! I smashed it incredibly hard and it still works like new. In the walls, in the tiled floor, in the cement, in the gravel, headfirst at full throttle. It was all coincidence and not without sadness, but he took it like Superman and brushed it off to fly again. I've read all the reviews for its durability and hoped for the best, but I'm absolutely blown away by its reliability. A very, very durable machine. There are extra blades in the box. Haven't used it after maybe 50+ (unfortunate) drops, it still flies just as well as it did when it was unpacked. I haven't flown the others but this one was great! Image quality is good. The video quality is good but with some limitations. It looks like the person/bird making the video is drunk. Rotate, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, Tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt. I think that for the money it exceeds the expectations of the video. Conclusion Alone quantitatively and qualitatively I think my money is already justified, and it is far from broken. I would recommend it. I would buy it again (if I were to fly it under a moving car because nothing else seems to kill it).

Pros
  • quadcopters and multicopters
Cons
  • unreliable
