Review on 🚁 Cheerwing Syma X5SW-V3 Quadcopter RC Drone with WiFi FPV Camera - Ideal for Kids and Beginners, 2.4Ghz by Amy Belair

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will definitely put a smile on your face for only $50!

But then you'll find out what's wrong with him.1. The range is not far. I read somewhere that it will land if the signal is lost. Ouch! Have you ever seen a helium balloon take off? yes it happens When I first flew it I had to chase and run towards it to pick up the signal at the long edge of the park. This park is 5 football pitches long. After seeing how short the range was (the length of a baseball, or 90 feet 27 meters), I quickly learned to only fly close to myself. Don't climb too high or too far or you'll run after him. Around the tenth flight I started to dwell on this thing (overconfidence) and went too far. It just climbed higher and higher, further and further until, unfortunately, it disappeared behind the tree line forever. 2. The camera delivers a decent picture. Hovering slowly and closely, I've captured some amazing aerial photos and videos that will surprise you. Don't wait for the videos you can find on YouTube. I couldn't understand that. A product review I found on YouTube showed a much better picture quality than mine. I mean they looked professional and mine is, well, not the best sharp video. But for less than $50, I'm happy with the photos I got.3. The controller is basic but doesn't do what the instructions say. I haven't owned it long enough to really learn how to use it perfectly. He always seemed to be in headless mode and didn't know how to turn it off. I never figured out how to turn a loop upside down. The controller beeped for about 5 seconds each time I tried, but I didn't see it try to reverse.4. The instructions are difficult to understand. Talk about a lost translation. Unfortunately, it takes some time to understand what the author (or translator) wanted to convey. Now I understand why other tutorials only show step-by-step illustrations and no text at all. It takes too much effort to get it right. Since I lost mine I came back here for this review and read many others to see if my results were similar. One thing in common, the seller seems to be very good at customer satisfaction. I will update this review when I contact you again.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Makes me angry
