I bought this one a month ago, great first quad! it is mine and I enjoy it greatly and the barometer most definitely helps. minimal flight time 500 mah battery is 8 minutes without camera I flew it hard and it got a full 8 minutes, i got 6:20 with camera. 1200 mah, i got a min of 11 minutes. I have to velcro to attach it to bottom. the compartment fits up to 780 mah battery and the 1200 will be very difficult to get out and it tends to wobble if you try to fly it.
Shift-Light I got two battery's with my one, I think I just got lucky as it said it only comes with one battery 🔋 but good to know 8mins without camera means I should get 16mins all in. thanks my friend. ✌
I've had lots of RC helicopters and airplanes but never a quad copter,,, until today. My GF got this for me for Christmas. I'm very anxious to try it out. Looks pretty cool.
RandomStuff gAminG Not anymore, Syma failed, Putting a x5c camera into a plastic case and call it a x8c camera, And X8 pro, Thats a joke, It cant even fly properly, They should be sued because it could cause Injury, Mjx Is now the new King Of Cheap Quality drones
That's a good color choice which is easy to see! I am wondering when Syma is going to go brushless like Hubsan X4 Pro has although, the altitude hold is a real good idea. Without it on a camera quad it's a waste of money for video and picture quads. This quad is a good training quad at a reasonable price. I wouldn't even consider WiFi for any kind of FPV flying. I've given up on brushed quads for use in my area because of windy conditions and I went with a brushless quad with FPV, GPS and have had a lot better luck with it. Thanks for a real good review.
Morning all, I recently bought the X5SC upgraded version as my ever first drone. I totally missed to check all the versions, so will buy one more and I'm wondering which one is the newest? I wanna stick to the X5 as have parts and batteries. Will my batteries fit? As I've seen adapters on Amazon and eBay, but this one you tested have same battery connection as my X5SC. And I've seen some 1200mah batteries on eBay, are they really 1200 you think. And the 3 blade propellers, are they really better? Hoping for reply as will order any day. And I do have to say I love my X5SC, crash durable (trust me) and parts very cheap. So stock up on parts just incase :-) Thank you in advance. All the best
I feel like Syma quads never change. This is almost identical to the ones before it. I don't understand why they don't try to do some quality machines as well, maybe a real stable camera quad with gps hold or a sports flyer or a racer.
syma just wants to pretty much stay toy-grade. I'd love to see a syma quad with small brushless motors, similar to the x5c-1 but they just aren't interested in doing it yet because of the cost.
eventually, I think they are going to have to because brushless quads aren't that expensive anymore. some of them are running only for $100, it wasn't that long ago that x5c-1 was around that much when it first came out.
John Cuppi Yeah sooner or later they will realize that other companies are in the lead and maybe they will expand making different variations of quads just like Walkera. (Late answer I didn't notice xD)
Just got this model in as my first copter, thanks for the reviews. I'm hoping the issue i have is the stock battery because i flew it once out of the box and ran it till battery was low and charged it and next day nothing. So i'm getting batteries in today and hopefully its a small issue.
Just bought this drone last week $40 on Amazon.I had trouble with the range at first. I found out that if the signal bars are flashing on the lcd it's on the low signal setting. To put it into high signal setting hold up on the tram button directly left of the right stick as you turn on the power. The signal bars will stay solid, and you will get much better range.
I've discovered that when checking trim features, the display on the remote indicates yaw trim switch not working. Would I be right in assuming the problem is likely in the electronics on the quad as opposed to in the switch on the remote, especially since I have had a couple of minor crashes? What is my best course of action to get this fixed?
Hi Dustin U and DJ do a Good job doing the reviews on the copters yours is a little more detailed, between the both of you we out here get a good idea of the good and bad Thank You
I am uying one of these as a starter drone for my self what i wonder is can the battery be bought bigger eg 800mah and will the battery last any longer
have a quesstion when you store the lipo for a week.... for ex. Your are flying on fri then wont fly it till next fri do you leave the battery at a full charge or since i dont have a actuallly charger after charging since flight time is 5-7 .... after full charge run the quad for 2.5 then store? 2nd are we able to use the X5SC Camera on x5hw?
the battery's are so cheap for this i would not worry too much about that, i would recommend a good smart charger for them though so you dont overcharge them and cause the battery to expand. just for conformation i was also told to keep these types of battery's at about half charge for storing them for long periods of time. but as i said they are very cheap which is a relief! happy flying!
I just watched a different unboxing and review of the Syma X5HW and it was the white and green one but the battery plug on that one is different it looked to me like a standard JST plug. Exact same model X5HW but different battery plug's. Have yuo seen this?
would you know how to fix the camera of this ...my camera stop connecting to my phone.could it be because of so many crashes?..this is my first drone i hope you can give an advice.
Look - it's for 47.99 USD with coupon code: RUSYMA www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_333255.html?wid=21&lkid=10705518 I bought one ua-cam.com/video/0j6Gj6Fl6uQ/v-deo.html
I ordered an XH5W from the Geek app yesterday ! Can't find a decent review other than Yours, but the lettering is different ! Would your quad be Similar to the one I ordered ? It doesn't look exact to Yours, so I was wondering if you have a Review of the XH5W too ! Apparently it has a Range of up to 120 meters, and Other cool stuff ! It was $31.00 Hoping it will be as good as the Description. Love your Personality, and Passion for flying !
@dustindunnill...i luv all of your vedio especially the jxd 509g...and this one too..mybe u can do the new mjx x601h quad thy also got alltitude hold..thx n happy flying
I got the white & green 1 with 4 spare props & a spare battery inside the drone hidden away lol But I'm watching your video b4 I take her on her first flight 🛩 lol. As I have only got a little parrot hydrofoil drone wich I just burned a motor on. Thanks for the video hard to find one on this model in English also I list my little screw for my receiver straight away as it fell down the back of my 💺 🙈 🇬🇧 you gave me great hope now to go fly my new drone. Also atleast hope my WiFi works better ✌
I just picked up this same unit today Feb 19th , I want to buy 4-5 batteries can someone suggest please what size battery would be great ? I'm assuming there are batteries that last longer then others,, is this correct ? Thanks in advance I hope someone has the time to asnwer. Cheers from Vancouver Island Canada..
mine did come with 4 extra props.. also yours has the "OLD" mini losi plug on it which is. WEIRD!!! that was a big complaint on every video I've seen so far that they went to a mini banana style plug! seems like the review models are always missing stuff or the opposite and have extra stuff like on the k70c video yours came with a cell phone holder.lol

Hey I also bought a X5HW White and I didn't know how to fly, but with your full review and description I know how to fly! Thank you!

the compartment fits up to 780 mah battery and the 1200 will be very difficult to get out and it tends to wobble if you try to fly it.
Shift-Light I got two battery's with my one, I think I just got lucky as it said it only comes with one battery 🔋 but good to know 8mins without camera means I should get 16mins all in. thanks my friend. ✌
Shift-Light can it carry action cam attachment as replacement of the main camera?
Great video!
Excellent in depth review. I've finally found the quad copter that I'll definitely enjoy flying. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. :)
I've had lots of RC helicopters and airplanes but never a quad copter,,, until today. My GF got this for me for Christmas. I'm very anxious to try it out. Looks pretty cool.
I bought it 2 years ago and its still good and nice
Syma = Best cheap camera drone

+Dennis Petersen Thanks Dennis. It will be interesting to see what Syma comes up with for a competitor to all the cheap brushless stuff out.
will the x5sc camera work on this quad ibstead of Wi-Fi save on memory card
Bought one thanks to you review!

I feel like Syma quads never change. This is almost identical to the ones before it. I don't understand why they don't try to do some quality machines as well, maybe a real stable camera quad with gps hold or a sports flyer or a racer.
same. they never compete to make their products as good as other quad models such as the eachine racer or h501s or even the gteng
syma just wants to pretty much stay toy-grade. I'd love to see a syma quad with small brushless motors, similar to the x5c-1 but they just aren't interested in doing it yet because of the cost.

i bought a syma x5hw this month amazing dual camera i connect my i phoneX for the drone
Jyoti Kinekar bro is their sd card in it?
M Ather it’s a WiFi drone it won’t work with an sd card
Just got this model in as my first copter, thanks for the reviews. I'm hoping the issue i have is the stock battery because i flew it once out of the box and ran it till battery was low and charged it and next day nothing. So i'm getting batteries in today and hopefully its a small issue.
I wonder if holding down or tapping down the throttle trim would cut the motors too
Is this better than SYMA X5SW?
NEED AN ANSWER PLEASE🙏
THANK YOU

Hi, can I use the x8hc controller with this syma x5hw drone, thanks
you got a box that is missing 2 props ... mine had 4 . its a great drone for little money :)
Hi Dustin
U and DJ do a Good job
doing the reviews on the copters yours is a little more detailed, between the both of you we out here get a good idea of the good and bad Thank You
I am uying one of these as a starter drone for my self what i wonder is can the battery be bought bigger eg 800mah and will the battery last any longer
Yes, you can find aftermarket 3.7v lipo batteries at higher mAh.
while in altitude hold especially indoors, is it advisable to trim to emulate kind of a gps hold?
i got the syma x5hw to and its blue and thay gave mi 4 moters
and 5 battery
When i had it, i only used it on speed one, even outside! It was so hard and it was my first drone
Jens Munkerud ?
another great review as usual.
have a quesstion when you store the lipo for a week.... for ex. Your are flying on fri then wont fly it till next fri do you leave the battery at a full charge or since i dont have a actuallly charger after charging since flight time is 5-7 .... after full charge run the quad for 2.5 then store? 2nd are we able to use the X5SC Camera on x5hw?
That would be the best way to store at about half charge, yes.
the battery's are so cheap for this i would not worry too much about that, i would recommend a good smart charger for them though so you dont overcharge them and cause the battery to expand. just for conformation i was also told to keep these types of battery's at about half charge for storing them for long periods of time. but as i said they are very cheap which is a relief! happy flying!
i love your cat! and great video! good review although i opted for the jxd 509g in the end as the range seems to be better on that one for the money.
I just watched a different unboxing and review of the Syma X5HW and it was the white and green one but the battery plug on that one is different it looked to me like a standard JST plug. Exact same model X5HW but different battery plug's. Have yuo seen this?
P.S. it was GBLindon's RC's video where I saw this.
i love that drone
Hi ! This X5hw it is better than x5sw ? Espiacially of the speed ?
+Certa christopher about same speed
Both are the same except HW have altitude hold. Easier to play with. Don't hv to control height manually with the trottle
I like your full reviews
so if the app is not working is there any way to get pictures or video recorded from your flight?
can you bump up the speed when returning in a headless mode?
Great video! I was wondering if for a beginner if auto take off and auto landing is important? If so, which syma drone would you recommend? Thanks.
It can help a little for a beginner but I don't think it's totally necessary for a toy type drone like this. 👍
@@DustinDunnill Thanks
Could i use a VR headset with my phone with this drone??? And also how big of a battery can i fit in it??
check out the name of the battery on the manual and search it on amaz0n
I got mine with4 propellers for back up on theside
would you know how to fix the camera of this ...my camera stop connecting to my phone.could it be because of so many crashes?..this is my first drone i hope you can give an advice.
A very good description🔝🔝👍👍!!
+Juli cooli 👍😊
Yes very good!! I'm german and i can understand this video very good!!!!🔝🔝🔝
a good cover all functions video! I learned that you can still fly a WiFi quad without a smart phone because, I don't have a smart phone yay ! :)
I have this drone and if you pull both the sticks in words and down it will shut off the motors faster than just holding the throttle down
Which wil be better ? echain e58 ? visuo xs809 ? syma x5 hw
How big is its range ang how long does it stay flying?
hey buddy .. im going to buy this thing.. can i know about the wifi range??
I think it was good and as far as I mentioned the range was in the video..lol
50 metre Wifi range, without its 100 metre
100m ='s 328 feet
