    Bad product, not worth the money.

    As a result, the copter was delivered under warranty. The combination of characteristics for less than 10 thousand. It's tempting of course, but I'll probably look at other manufacturers. Syma has disappointed me so far.

    Pros
    • Lightweight (registration-free), takes up little space and is easy to fold/unfold. Quickly calibrates before flight. The battery really allows you to fly more than 20 minutes - which is awesome. The picture from the camera is of average quality but with more or less normal color reproduction (I attach examples of shooting to the review). It immediately sends pictures to the phone in full size - if you break it or fly away, then at least the pictures will remain.
    Cons
    • During test flights, problems arose - at some point the copter became uncontrollable and began to make pirouettes in the air with a roll to one side. The malfunction manifested itself several times and spontaneously - for example, it took off, gave the command to fly straight, and after 15 meters the copter rolled to the left side and, not responding to commands from the remote control, went around in an elliptical trajectory. Then, at some point, control was partially restored and it was possible to land it without damage. Maybe it just got caught, or maybe something is really wrong with the software (I met reviews that the copter flew off in an unknown direction). I did not find the function of stabilizing the picture when shooting - everything trembles in flight.

    Real junk, such a terrible quality still needs to be searched.

    Run only in a safe environment, increased potential for crashes. Soft snow, bushes, grass within a radius of half a kilometer - your platform for flights. Its pros: Looks great, pleasant to the touch, quickly catches satellites. Has some cons: Regularly loses connection with the remote control. Time is about 50/50. Because of this, it is completely impossible to use the remote control. Well, if he does not respond when you need to take off. But when it happens in flight, it's still a thrill. By

    The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

    In general, a normal drone, though the first one has already flown into the forest and disappeared. The wind took it away. In general, the quality of the photos is quite good, and the video - for this, of course, was taken. Its pros: For the money - the best features. Capacious battery, good picture quality Cons below: Phone application. The biggest drawback. On the 10th android, it’s just not possible to connect, the GPS works crookedly, I didn’t get the drone to be displayed on the map. Plus,

    Terrible product, not worth your money absolutely!

    I do not recommend the product or the seller. I've been fighting for two days to return the copter, but no answer - no hello, as they say. amazon employees still somehow make contact, and by the number of the supplier (Delivery toys) they only answer with general phrases, are rude and rude. By the way, if you are going to call them [supplier], do not even try on weekends: ShaChina's office in the style of "business in 2022" is resting, do not be afraid that you will be ignored. They spoiled my…

    Pros
    • Low price
    Cons
    • Came used by someone quadcopter. There are scratches on the blades, the headlight does not work.

    Awesome Quadcopter for Capturing Aerial Shots!

    As an electronics enthusiast, I love the features of this gray quadcopter. The camera is amazing, giving your aerial photos and videos a cinematic look. As my tests showed, the drone is perfect for capturing stunning shots at parties, and outdoor events. And the remote control is user-friendly, which makes it perfect for beginners too. However, the battery life could be longer to capture more footage without the need to swap batteries.

    Pros
    • Amazing Camera, Remote Control User-friendly
    Cons
    • Short Battery Life

    Revainrating 1 out of 5

    Disgusting, will never recomend it for anybody!

    At a distance of less than 100 meters in 2 cases out of 10 there was a loss of communication with the remote control. Bottom line: flew to freedom, not responding to either the remote or the phone. Couldn't find him.

    The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

    It is better to save money and buy a better drone. This one is not suitable for any purpose. Neither for filming, nor for "just flying." At best, you will be disappointed; at worst, you will break. I was under no illusions when I bought myself this budget drone. I did not expect high-quality shooting and super good control from him. I just wanted to learn how to fly and shoot on it. But even that didn't work out well. The drone lives its own life, which is not connected with pressing buttons on

    Pros
    • Relatively budget.
    Cons
    • Not possible to use. It's good that I launched it in the village in the field. Otherwise, you can crash the drone on anything nearby the first time. Used it for exactly 2 days and returned it. Perhaps I got a defective version. 1) Cannot hang straight. Scatter "Smooth hover" up to 1 meter horizontally. 2) Failures in work. The drone can spontaneously fly to the side (until you land it on the ground). 3) Poorly fights with any wind. 4) Constantly loses connection with the remote control. 5) Constantly loses connection with the mobile application. 6) The picture hangs intermittently (the drone flies and is controlled, but the picture hangs). 7) It's just dangerous - because of his spontaneous desires to fly somewhere - can fly into someone.

    The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

    Pros below: The camera is good from the bottom The charge lasts for 15 minutes Easy to use There is even a case) commendable! Its cons: The cameras are enough for 50 meters and the connection is lost, but in general it will work! 1 akb!

    Revainrating 1 out of 5

    Lame product and terrible quality.

    In short, then raising it to the height of your eyes and not losing sight of it (that is, 10 meters from you maximum) is all that you can do with it safely in principle. Any deviation from this rule will result in the loss of a bunch of nerve cells in an attempt to regain control. At any moment, you should be ready to lose about all the money that the drone was bought with.

    Pros
    • The quadrocopter is made of more or less normal plastic, but no more. The camera tilt works, as well as barely moving hands (for photos and videos), from a distance of more than 3 meters, he no longer sees them. There are no questions about the set. But that's about all.
    Cons
    • I list: Main: 1) At any moment of the flight, it can simply lose connection with the remote control or phone, no matter at what frequency, what battery charge, altitude and distance from the remote control. At the same time, he does not hang in place, but simply flies in any direction he likes. 2) The camera stretches the image to the sides, because of this, the picture is as if flattened 3) The signal between the remote control or the phone is very weak (I dismantled the remote control, and there are not even antennas, but some soldered stumps of antennas). That thing at the remote control (such as an antenna) that straightens out. There was simply no antenna cable in it, just a piece of plastic, completely empty. 4) During video recording or after taking photos, when the copter sends them to the phone, it listens very weakly to the remote control or phone, with a delay. 5) GPS - do not even rely on it, it can lose most of the satellites at any moment, and it also sausages in the air (it does not hold a position). Additional: 1) Almost all of the functions do not work: a) You do not turn on Headlass mode, since it does not turn on (most likely the drone simply does not support it) b) The flyby of the point works, but firstly, he outlines this point very crookedly for himself and it’s definitely not you who becomes this point, and secondly, during the flyby he twitches like a shell-shocked one (I think you understand what happens to the camera without a suspension), well and like a cherry on a cake - he does not keep the initial height, he just goes down the slope, walking in a circle (from a height of 5 meters, he sits in the grass in about half a circle). c) In the application for this quadrocopter (SYMA AIR) there is only a map of China, it does not load other maps and you will not be able to sew it into the application. Accordingly, it does not work: flying by points, returning home, you can stand a meter away from him, but he will think that you are about 10 meters away from him.

    A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

    2 months of operation. Total 4 km flight. Almost every 3-4 flights there is a failure. It is expressed in rocking from side to side and loss of control. If this happens to you, click on the auto return button! Otherwise, you will most likely crash. Max height, which managed to climb 72m. Max distance about 170m. Nevertheless, in terms of price-quality ratio, the child can play quite well.

    Pros
    • Good price quality ratio. Good plastic. Reliable enough.
    Cons
    • Often fails. Almost loses control. And it does not depend on the distance.

    Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

    As the first drone for a child and myself - that’s it, a week passed, while we figured out the details of control and got used to it, before that it crashed every day, one propeller was changed (cracked) Pros below: All the most interesting functions: video broadcast (on android) work. Raised so far to a height of 85 meters (the maximum is a restriction on the remote control 100m) in a low-rise dense building, communication, video are normal. There are two cameras, one forward and down with a…

    The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

    A training option for little money, gave the child, he liked it. If you want a normal drone, yes with a stabilizer, yes with a good picture, yes with a stable flight and so that all satellites catch and do not fly away, and listen to all commands, etc., etc., then this is definitely not for 8 thousand. and for its 100 dollars - a good drone Its pros: Inexpensive training drone. Haven't tried long distances yet. Cons below: Sometimes it doesn’t display a picture on the phone, maybe it just…

    Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

    Has pros: A good copter to learn how to fly like it. The charge was written for 28 minutes, but if it is periodically planted on the ground, it will be enough for 40 minutes (despite the fact that I recorded the video all the time). The camera is not bad, but not the best (in the shortcomings I will describe why) Handling is quite good, it will not be blown away from a weak wind, but if the stick blows harder in the direction of the wind, you need to press it. Different cons: Blades are not ver

    Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

    After a week of use, it flew into oblivion, not responding to commands already at a distance of 50 meters, the return button also did not help. Calibration and search for satellites was carried out as expected! Before that, such problems also arose, but at a height of no more than 5 meters, I landed it by colliding with objects.

    I am very upset, the product is no good.

    Its pros: Great device for your money. , bought for 8100 , a child of 9 years old figured out the controls without problems. Cons: I worked for 2 weeks, and there is no support for repairs, and for returns too. Correspondence with claims is simply ignored !

    Disappointed with the purchase, useless products.

    Suddenly, one engine failed in flight. Collapsed from a height of 6-7 meters. Crashed. The store said it was out of warranty. 15K gone.

    Pros
    • Affordable price. Quite understandable drone.
    Cons
    • No fall protection. Communication may be lost. 1 battery.
