Review on Syma X5UW quadcopter, red by Ada Zieleniewska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

As the first quadcopter for a child, it will do (also with a camera!). A couple of days are enough to master basic flights. In theory, it should hang in one place, but in the room it creates air currents that will pull it to the side - it is solved by fine tuning (in principle, it was possible to adjust it so that it practically hung in one place and you can fly along the corridor). Sensors keep the quadric at a given height - it's convenient, you don't need to constantly steer with two joysticks. The presence of adults is mandatory at first - with inept use, you can get injured or break something. In general, this is still a toy, although soundly made. If you're interested, take it.

Pros
  • For its price, it is quite easy to manage even a child of 8 years. The presence of a gyroscope, height sensor (really keeps the height). There is a live camera. The battery is made in the form of a module - it is convenient to remove / install (you can buy it). The indicator of the degree of charge in the application, the indicator of the completion of the charge. When the battery is low, it goes down by itself. There is a one button auto landing. Remote control phone mount. Protected propellers - stop when they encounter obstacles. Complete set: got it in flight (screwdriver, SD card, charging and the device itself).
Cons
  • Flight time 7-8 minutes and long charging (~2 hours). The camera is mediocre, but on the street during the day the quality is decent enough (again for its price). Blows the wind, especially at altitude. The instructions were only in English.
