Thank you for giving us this Video, It just saves us so much time trying to do it all of our own inexperienced bat! You have explained each step so well !!! , I'm in a great mood now because all the wondering what is what frustration has now gone away, and my 12 year old son will now enjoy it, Be Well, Thanks! Rob.
Thanks Rick, your instructions were a big help! My air craft come with the props off, so seeing you replacing the props saved me a lot of time when I was putting them on.
Great video! I'm new to flying quadcopters and the manual was difficult for me to understand. The last few times I went out I crashed a lot. You went through all the material really well and easy to understand. Thanks a lot!! especially about the hover calibration and the direction mode with the upper left button. Thanks so much! i subbed to your channel too.
Thank you so much, i was looking all over the internet to find what all the buttons do. Like, i did not know what headless mode was, or what the trimmers do. Thanks!
Love the review! Really helped me get to know how to use mine and put it together. Doing a review of my own, can I use the link to this video in my review. You went alot more in depth than I will be going.
I am first time flyer as well as fpv flyer.Heard this was fantastic for price and I agree.That being said and the reason that I came to your vid. was the fact that the instructions on my X8W-V3 are a terrible English translation.Being green at all this I am trying to figure out how to set the trim on my Syma.Would have been better if you had spent a little more time on that but overall your video was very helpfull to me.Thanks and Peace Out
Thanks for the very helpful video Rick! My X8W FPV arrives tomorrow so, as an old guy who doesn't play video games, I think I made the right choice for a trainer. Never touched a drone control before. Next will be the Mavic Pro!
Thanks for the upload. I was wondering if you can fit a GoPro or the SJ400 or any other sport action cameras with this quadcopter for a better resolution image please??? Thanks...
So I am very interested in buying this unit and your video was extremely helpful however, I do have a question. I don't understand the WiFi requirement. You are not expected to be near the WiFi in your home in order to operate this, right?
You just have to get the WiFi cable seperately from Syma, you won't have problems with your home WiFi if you use the Syma WiFi cable. Hope I could help!
hi just sent for the syma x8hg, but due to never having a drone before, i thought i would get myself the syma x12 to practice on, managed to control it a couple of times but now it just goes in any direction, tryed all the trimming but no joy, unfortunately this has me thinking i may have made a misteke by getting the x8.
Hi, thanks for a comprehensive vid - however I have a couple of questions. Did the screwdriver come already magnetised or did you magnetise it? Also, in your opinion, would the black or orange version be more visible for LOS flying.
+going2press I thought the same. The screwdriver is magnetised, but it's a bit limp. Better use tweasers as the screws are tiny. And it's no different with the orange or black. They're both better flown at dusk. When you can see the lights. To be honest, they look amazing in low light. And the X8 will take a few knocks. Not as robust as the XC5 but they're great if yo know what you're doing!
thank you. i just bought one . after seeing your video. but i am facing a problem, my drone doesnot fly high. even if i give max trot. do you have any idea what it cause that please
Had an issue with some sort of feed back in the camera 1st flight after it has been great quality musta not had the jack in fully.. ALSO a great plus in the wifi CAM is you can view through more than one device !!!
hii I wish to buy the drone but I am not sure about the life of the engines. Brushless would be much better. Know you a cheap brushless model? Thank you for your video
Thank you for making this video it helped me a lot as i am about to buy an x8 for my farming video's. i am holding back for the X8G as i want the GoPro quality recording have you heard of any release dates and prices yet please?. keep up the great work.
Logablo Hi, yes i have seen this in my research but the footage was always very shaky and horrid with out buying gimbas and other add on's. i am just interested to see if the X8G is released with any anti shake or vibration fitted or simply a GoPro mount stuck on the bottom and thats it lol. if thats the case then i might as well buy a cheaper X8C and mount my own using a gimbal, thanks for the comment Logablo.
Hello wanted to ask a question. I have SYMA x8c Dron vis works great until one moment vis stops flashing and only the drone of light and it will not fly, than fully not, maybe you could tell where is the problem?
i just bought one but i don t understand why my left stick is spring loaded and keeps going to the center not like yours. I am used to X5C so i dont why the new X8W is like this.
I have an x5sc and an x8c... just bought the x5sw camera that's swappable between the x5 chassis and given the x8c camera unit is just a big round shell around an x5c camera it should in theory work for that too. :) Just in case folk have bought one of these and want to experience fpv for £25. note: I'm not talking about the 5ghz "upgrade kit" knocking about, I'm on about just an x5sw camera. when it comes I'll try and come back to confirm my suspicions. :)
Hey Marionville. I am trying to have x8w to fly with goPro. Can you suggest how to do this? I've tried with a adhesive mount, and waterproof casing around it - and it doesn't fly.
+Santosh Achari Buy a lightweight gimbal and the lightest GoPro, or even the cheaper Chinese Yi camera. Syma even sells its own custom HD cam for the X8
Great video, Thanks for sharing... I've subbed your channel... I have a question for you. I am getting this Model, The X8W, and it has the white transmitter like the one you have here in the video. I like the black transmitter better, and I've found some on EBay, and I'm wondering if they will work with the white X8W model ?
Marionville Multirotors Great! thanks for the info. I'm gonna have to order one of the black transmitters sometime soon... Thanks again, and safe flying my friend..... :)
So...i just recently bought a Sky viper 950..probably wasted my money..-_-..But i am very interested in thr FPV flight. As i have a facebook page that uses videos and photos, a FPV drone would be extremely helpful "in my eyes"..Is the quality decent of this machine? is it durable? What is the range, and how good is the signal for the WIFI?..Need advice please lol. Overall, what good would this bring me..Please respond, if you can. thank you
I'm having trouble getting mine to take off. Everything works and the rotors are turning at full power but it doesn't seem to want to take off from the ground?
+Ralfoxify Make sure the propellers are on the correct motor shafts. The propellers have a letter A or B, which should match up with the letter A or B on the quadcopter arms.
+Ralfoxify Strangely, the diagram for how the propellers should be mounted is found on the side of the box. You need to get two blades from each set included.
+Chris Slater hey guys, yeah I didn't think to look at the box, you'd think they'd mention it in the instructions, but after some head scratching yeah they do separate A propellers from B propellers. Thanks for taking the time to reply
Hi can you help me.. I recently purchased one of these and the battery was charged for 3 hours and I put it in and the lights flash but then go out and the quad copter does not lift! please help me ASAP thanks
Ok so I dont know which drone to get, The Syma X8W is a bit bigger, a bit heavier, but does not have a good camera and says it can only go up to 70 meters. The other drone is the JJRC H8D, it's a bit smaller but has a better camera, it does weigh less but can go as far as 300 meters. Somone please help me decide which one to get. It will be my first drone!
Hi Rick I have recorded FPV flights on phone app but wont play back.....the files are on it but says unfortunately SYMA FPV has stopped......any ideas ?
+Jorric 50 meters is a safe distance. The controller and unit have no problem with that. Although users (who sometimes mod their receivers) have reported 50-300 meters. Most I've had [at an estimate] is 120
the antenna bars r continuesly blinking on my remote even after i bind the quad to transmitter and my drone if flying like it have no power to lift it fkys around 5 to 6 feet max ... already changed motors :(
Do the caps have to screw in tightly? My new X8HG drones propeller came off and lost the cap. I have no idea what caused it,. It came already put together brand new in box. I only had to put the legs and the propeller guards on it. It flew very good until the propeller incident. :( Here is the video from today. I tried to explain what I think may have happened. ua-cam.com/video/Ri199Uid394/v-deo.html

Rob.
Thanks for the upload, I was trying to work out the blade fitting, it helped a lot. I didn't want to break it! Cheers
+Telecastvids Yes i find it a little odd way of doing it so thought id explain it.
Marionville Multirotors if i buy this drone i will get the camera in the drone or i will buy it special
Βανιστα Βορεια ηπειρος it comes with the drone!
Thanks Rick, your instructions were a big help! My air craft come with the props off, so seeing you replacing the props saved me a lot of time when I was putting them on.

Nice video.
how do you know when battery is running low on drone?
Thanks for the upload. I was wondering if you can fit a GoPro or the SJ400 or any other sport action cameras with this quadcopter for a better resolution image please??? Thanks...
I believe you can as they do a version with this set up.
So I am very interested in buying this unit and your video was extremely helpful however, I do have a question. I don't understand the WiFi requirement. You are not expected to be near the WiFi in your home in order to operate this, right?
You just have to get the WiFi cable seperately from Syma, you won't have problems with your home WiFi if you use the Syma WiFi cable. Hope I could help!
Do i need to remove the batteries after i am done?
hi just sent for the syma x8hg, but due to never having a drone before, i thought i would get myself the syma x12 to practice on, managed to control it a couple of times but now it just goes in any direction, tryed all the trimming but no joy, unfortunately this has me thinking i may have made a misteke by getting the x8.
Great video, very understandable and easy to follow. Does the camera have a separate
on/off switch?
+Everett Rantanen Sadly not although you can unplug it and keep it connected!
Thanks for the upload!
I have just get a Syma X8HG and have problem whit connect my iPhone to wi-fi. What can be wrong?
The X8HG is does not support Wifi

I seen you put 2 screws in when you install the prop guard but when you remove the prop guard do you need to reinstall the screws?
Thank you so much for this great video. I found it extremely helpful.
thank you. i just bought one . after seeing your video. but i am facing a problem, my drone doesnot fly high. even if i give max trot. do you have any idea what it cause that please

Very articulate & quick. I enjoy your videos. Do you have one with the MJX-101?
Is this good for begginers or kind of higher begginers almost intermidiet
Good review on how to set up

I wish to buy the drone but I am not sure about the life of the engines. Brushless would be much better. Know you a cheap brushless model?

cibie01 you can attach a go pro or any action sport camera to the regular x8c
