Review on πŸ“Έ SIMREX X300C 8816 Mini Drone With Camera - WiFi HD FPV Foldable RC Quadcopter Rtf 4CH 2 by Montez Vazquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good $40 ATV

I'll start by saying that my experience is primarily with toy quads. habsan 4 or what? JJRC H12C and a few more random ones. This one is a little newer than my previous one so it has a few features that my old pons don't have out of the box, it's quite small. not a microdrone, but as big as your hand when unfolded. It's pretty solid, but there's still some flex in the arms. Good design. I like the slide in the battery. It's nice that you don't have to plug it in, it's a twitch plug. remote control is small. my 2xl pixel doesn't seem to be much wider. The remote control has a good design. has some buttons that make sense once you read what they mean. I don't like the "slider" control over the joysticks, but it works well and not too badly. Download the simrex app. pretty good app. mostly straight. It took a few tries to connect it to the phone over Wi-Fi for FPV viewing. The camera looks good in stable flight but quickly degrades in aggressive flight. Bad: I don't like the remote control but it works fine, after recording a video on the phone via the app, the video cannot be viewed. Wrong file type or something is going on. kinda disappointing. Also, the camera could have a slightly wider focus and tilt up a bit. It would be difficult to fly this with just FPV imo.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No guide
