I have had helicopters and planes but this is my first quadcopter so,
I'm not going to pit this against more expensive quads available. I
just want to start by saying I had NEVER had so much fun with an RC
anything. Compared to all other flying and land vehicles this is my new
favorite. I will never buy another helicopter again for sure. This
little cheap quadcopter has made an overwhelming impression on me. I
can't believe the technology and durability for this price, it truly is
impressive. The build QUALITY is so simple and yet so perfect. There
are no frills such as blinking LED's for looks or extra design for the
body. This is a plain design but don't let its outside looks fool you.
The gyro is top notch. I have purposely flipped this thing repeatedly,
a neat feature I will mention later, and it always finds itself upright
and stable. There are two speeds, High and Low. Low is wonderful for
beginner flyers. I have let me 7 and 8 year old girls fly this and they
do very well and have zero flying experience. The high speed is well,
HIGH! You better have some skills built up when you press that button!
It can perform some amazing feats in the right hands. The eversion
flip feature I mentioned earlier is a bonus Syma built in for extra fun.
Just get it up to about 10 feet, push the button and hit the right
stick and a perfect eversion flip it will perform, every time! FLIGHT
TIME is about 8 ½ minutes, which is good enough, wish extra batteries
were available easily though for extended flying time. DURABILITY is
equally on par with the flight characteristics, this thing is dang near
indestructible! No foam or balsa here, or wood props to splinter into
pieces every time you whack something. I have smacked this thing into
the side of my house at nearly full speed from about 15 feet high
outside and it crashed down from there and hit my driveway. I flipped
it over and took right back off, no issue or damage! AMAZING! The
other thing I have done is rigged a small VGA camera to it. Now this
thing is not meant to handle any load and amazingly it does well. The
camera is quite small almost a keychain type. I have taken some very
cool footage so far. The biggest thing this opened my eyes to was the
possibility of bigger and better quads that can handle larger camera for
FPV or first person view. I would love to see SYMA build a larger more
powerful quadcopter capable of carrying a goPro or something for FPV. I
would pay $200 just for that! Syma has made me a believer in its brand
and I will always look to them from now on as a top notch RC brand, I
expect to see BIG things from them in the future, hint, hint SYMA! So
in conclusion whether beginner or expert you will thoroughly be
impressed with this little quadcopter as it's worth the low, low price
and probably $100 more! Amazon's price is the best hands down don't
waste your time looking elsewhere. Don't hesitate to buy if you are
interested in trying out a quadcopter for yourself, you will not be
disappointed!
took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but after that its pretty
easy and sooo much fun, one thingi learned of that bat is read the
instructions ! as soon as ytou insert the battery into the chopper you
must sit it on flat floor and it calibrates itself, if u dont do this it
wont fly right, i made this mistake my first time. also controls very
sensitive ive only dared to fly in low rate mode so far and have had a
blast i could only imagine what high rate will bring! will tryt it wheni
have more openare. great great toy would reccomend as a gift,! ":)
