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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great training quadrocopter! Don't drop the remote control ;)

Bought this drone because it was recommended to me as a great training drone to learn to fly, it was even better than I expected. It flies very smoothly, is extremely durable and incredibly safe. It's really light and the motors/blades aren't powerful enough to break the skin or damage anything other than the blade. I've been flying it every day since I got it, many times a day for about 3 weeks, crashed many times and luckily I haven't even had to change propellers. However, I accidentally dropped the controller and it doesn't seem nearly as solid as the quad itself, as a fall from about 4ft rattled internal parts and turned the controls upside down. I ordered a new remote control and I'm flying with it again! I recommend this learn/practice model to anyone just starting to learn how to fly a quadcopter. Quick note: the camera sucks, but that's to be expected for the price. I took it off when I first got it and then put it back on after about a week, just out of curiosity, tried it once. Terrible picture, as expected, quickly deleted and thrown away. So if you need a drone for video or fpv don't buy it but if you need a reliable drone for safe practice look no further.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Having problems
