2 years later. I still have to agree with what I said. Hope you have a great weekend Dustin!
Great review man, just picked up one of these, very helpful thank you.
GREAT vid! Just got mine on Amazon. Watching your vid before I open mine
Thank you for the straightforward and to the point video.
Another good informative video, on this product!
just got the black one on amazon thanks for the review !
Thanks for this review :)
I found my syma in my neighbours tree :D
Story:
My neighbour noticed something red in his palm tree, and he climbed it and found a drone (neighbour probably lost battery and it fell into a tree because the battery was dead) and gave it to me (he knows I like rc’s) and now I have a drone (had to buy a controller)
Thankyou you have helped me alot
Just got mine today from prime day. Thanks for posting this! FYI mine came with extra battery inside
I have the same drone yes it has a range problem, Also I just opened mine I first watched your video so I know how it is ,BTW LOVE YOUR VIDS
Great reviews
guys i need your recommendations. i have a syma x11 and a attop sky dreamer plus. i rly like both of them even tho they fly different. i like fast and zippy but still stable quads a lot. i dont know what else to get. my price range is 35 bucks so not too much there. something with a camera woul be cool but not a nessecity. but its pretty easy to find quads with cams in that price area as the syma x5uw is around there
Great video,i have the syma x8hw and was wondering what you think of that model, i dont know if you already did a video of the syma x8hw, if you did not are you going to review it?
I just got one of these type of drones today. It's a X5UW-D " FPV Real - Time" So slightly different features " Am Not entirely sure what the differences are", I note it has steerable camera, but does not come with extra battery or SD Card. Great review, hope I have some fun, with it. I don't think it uses Wifi, not sure what the benefits are, seems you may be having problems with the Wifi Version.
I got this drone for my birthday and it was the first one I've experienced. Unfortunately mine just keeps going up and doesn't hover. Do I have to do something with the trimming?
please can anyone tell me how to find it also I don't have a tracker with it please reply plss
But when I binding it up and down lights on the SYMA-GO copter are still blinking,what should I do? Maybe this thing is broken? Help please
thank you you explained it so nice, I just purchase my ux50 I think, and when I saw your review I wanted that .
I just want to start with this and go to more expensesive abd iu hope easier to operate
what do you recommend, my sob read about this magna about price range of usd200 to below 400
jim
syma x5 r all around fun first quads for people.👍
thx for the tutorial i needed some help how to fly these drones because my drone kept flying towards me when i wasn't touching it
Keep up the work
Well with my one that i got from the tip shop for $5 which works perfectly i can nearly fly it so high you can only see a tiny black dot and it still has decent control. I've always used the syma fly app for it but it always freezes and really laggy
we just reviewed this drone as well. we flew it indoors and outdoors. For the price...We really liked it.
My phone doesnt want to pair with the camera on the drone? When I connect to the Wi Fi and press go on the syma app. I just get set to a phone version of the controller. There is a camera icon at the top left, when i press it nothing happens? What can I do to fix this?
Just got mine today. It came with 2 batteries. I struggle with control. The Manual says nothing about trimming the way you explained it. When my batteries charge I'll try again.
So I got the exact same drone flew it twice then started giving trouble where now 2 sides of the blades are lifting off and the 2 other blades aren't. Help!
hey sometimes my drone goes only for one side and it wont take off ..please help me from this problem. its a brand new one
Yes, excellent video for a beginner llike me! One question on the gyro setup, I see in the owners manual the both control sticks down and to the right, but I don’t see where it tells you to also go both sticks down and to the left for setup? I see sticks down and left for a headless situation?
+Steve M. Sometimes the manual is wrong or they change functions with newer production models.
i would ask if what emmits the wifi signal the drone or the camera
Hey mate I've tried to download the app onto my how do I get around the bit when they ask for my credit card number
I got one of these for Christmas and had almost no clue on how to fly it. I started to get pretty good at it except I could never get the app or the camera to work and had no clue what any of the buttons were except the auto take off and flip button and how to maybe fly around a bit without crashing after I got good at it except I kind of just tossed it aside. I just learned so much about it and now I can't wait to get it charged back up and try out all the new features I learned about. The trimming thing is also where I had a problem so that was awesome you showed how to fix that. This was an amazing review and thank you for all the help. Keep up the good work. I do have one question though. Do you think I can strap or attach a action camera to this drone and still be able to fly with it?
I don't think it could lift anything more than what it comes equipped with but the Syma 8X C actually duct tape t phone to and flew around
Thanks for the GREAT reviews.
I do have one question. Would you do a video about what you use to record your videos? I'm guessing you have a GoPro on your hat, but I think I saw a boom mic also. What type gear?
I just got one can you make a video how to fly it
Looking at the video for the 20th time, and owning the same drone, I noticed that the lights blink at more of a heartbeat rate while recording. When the battery is low it blinks constantly. Awesome video, you taught me how to fly my drone and I still refer to this video if I have a questions. Thanks D.
Good to have a remote controller. Some drones may only have remote control via a mobile phone, saving on manufacturing costs.
my drone which is the same as this one , x5uw , and it goes 300ft up and 300ft forward
Nice
Wifi? Does the wifi control the drone or is it used just to stream the video? I'm guessing that wifi may also control the drone as you show controlling it with the phone, but also can use the controller which I guess uses it's own 2.4G . That would seem a lot of work & power required to Control the video stream & flight direction, along with the 2.4G Just curious how it all works & would I get a better performance just using/buying an X5UC
Started flying these addictive things with cheap Syma products. You'll find they are plasticcy and cheap, but they take some heavy battering and good to learn on.
Looks like it wouldn’t be too difficult to hack it to take a standard battery connector and use decent third party batteries.
Hello Dustin what is the cost for thebest base model drone for fishing. Would also like something that is easy to operate. Thanks
So, if I detach the camera, I am gonna get more range?
I have the same one but it's a limited edition
its no mavic pro!! but every once in a while I like to put it up in the air .... just for old time sake!
One year later just snagged this on Amazon flash sale over the BF holiday sale and I guess they must've seen your vid as low and behold mine came with two batteries, Lol.
just for FYI for others, if you take out camera you will have sharper control and better range
What is the range of this drone
I got one it's the same I got one from Christmas
how are you able to control the drone while kept on spinning without getting confused on the orientation?
Do u have to put the camera cause mines broke
How far can it go and how long tge batterly life last ?
My controller won’t connect with the drone and I don’t know wat to do
Oh thanks, so thats how they can have good connection at long distance.
How much battery is included ty!
Hi Dustin, thank you for the review, I just bought this drone, and having problem getting the headless mode right, i long press the right lever and hear several beeps, but when flying, it went all over the place, i did both lever to the thright and to the left trimming, but still seem to not work properly, any help is appreciated.
Try this vid it's only 4 mins it's a tutorial , no it's not bull crap czcams.com/video/Q1kxr1LnDBU/video.html
For what is that"headless mode"?
I got mine for Christmas and just flew it for the first time. I think I did pretty well but I had a scare when I tried to fly it really high and I tensed up and lost control and it went above the neighbors' house. I got it back though.
I can get my camera to work, anyone know why?
wan`t to ask for one for Christmas
i bought one in South Korea and now im in Australia and i flew it and was very cool. but sadly i have lost the battery for it so i cannot fly it :(

Had to send mind back, could not get it to sink up with my smart phone.
What is it's rate
Mine came with 2 batteries but No sd card. I haven't seen to many products that come with an SD card ever.
How do I get the app
I didnt get the sd card
Great video! I just had mine out for a little today, this bird fly's very well, very stable. Con's, the camera sucks, and the instruction's also suck. Example: page 8 switching off aircraft method 3: When the aircraft is in flight, press the B button, the aircraft fell to the ground and slowly closed the aircraft." What the hell does that even mean"?.....Anyway's keep flyin.
How far before it looses connection
If you dont have phone service will the fpv not work?
It will still work. Phone service does not matter. Only uses direct wifi link between device and drone. So if your device has wifi antenna your fine.
I got about 175 feet be for i lost fpv
How can i do my drone faster
How much did it cost?
How Price
I cutted my thumb before i watched this and tried on my first try
mine came with no charger😢
Hey will it be delivered to Nepal?
I'm from India. If Nepal has Amazon u can buy it. My bua lives in California she sent me the same drone on my birthday
fpv version of syma x5uc
it would be nice if reviews would include the price. I don't I understand why no one mentions the cost. that is an important factor. but maybe the hmguts who review are so rich that the cost isn't an issue
+Mike Anderson Cost changes. I always mention about the link in description to check what it currently is...
FPV Dreamz new tech prices changes up and down really fast so i just got this drone as my first drone for like 50$ without discount cuz it's already an old drone
What about the battery life?
Manual says: "At least 7 minutes. Charging battery 130 minutes, max". Flying time has been 7-10 minutes, winter conditions and below and above 0 degrees (Celsius)
WiFi range sucks. Like u said u must keep it close by and the video cuts in and out. Ur better off adding a small camera to do FPV. $18 FPV on Amazon.
i have the same drone:):)
the wifi interferes with the signal
After watching this I think I rather buy the non fpv version
