Review on ✈️ SYMA X5C-1 RC Quadcopter Bundle: Extra Batteries, Blades, Charger, and SD Card by Erin Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price and great for beginners!

I have never flown a quadrocopter and this is a really great model for beginners. First, it comes with 3 ATV batteries and a charger that can charge up to 4 batteries at the same time. One of the batteries was already charged so I could start flying as soon as I had 4 AA batteries for the controller. The controller is large enough to be comfortable in my hands. Would have liked a little more durability, but that's what I expected for the price. The instructions are surprisingly clear (not in perfect English, but good enough) and even explain how to make fine adjustments to compensate for drifts. I had to make a small change to make it hang with minimal drift. It comes with a rotor guard and 8 interchangeable rotors. I've only flown it indoors and slammed it into walls, windows and the floor - it wasn't damaged. He's very nimble for his size and even has an automatic key sequence for tricks when he's rolling in place. Within 30 minutes I was able to fly it around the house with no major problems. I can't comment on the quality of the camera as I haven't used it yet. The instructions say that you can take photos or videos. It comes with two 4GB micro SD cards and a very cheap card reader. I was a bit worried about radio interference since I have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, but so far I haven't had any issues and I use it within 10 feet of my wireless hotspot. Conclusion: It's definitely worth the money and will be great to learn!
