SYMA X700W Helicopter Drone with 1080P HD FPV Camera for Kids and Adults

Overall fun and easy to learn to fly. I really like the aircraft platform. A bit overpriced for what it is, but for those wishing to start, it is a nice, non-simulator way of learning the flight controls. No full acro-mode. Just altitude hold mode. It can fly outside but only in no to little wind. It does have dual rates, so use the high rate for outdoors. It has plastic gears and brushed motors. In high temperatures and long operational use the gear teeth will chip. Also, the brushed motors will fail rather quickly. Don't attempt to repair this will void the 2 year warranty. But again, this wasn't designed to be repairable. Not customizable with BetaFlight. Cannot bind a third-party radio controller. Don't waste money on the "FPV" camera. The viewing angle isn't wide enough, the camera is mounted too low, doesn't pan up enough to look ahead in forward flight, and the camera can't be rotated to level the view ( tilted to right or left ) to the aircraft. Also, only googles like the discontinued Google Daydream would make this really FPV. Can't use DJI googles nor FatShark googles. SYMA should improve on this platform to better outdoor flight and make it repairable and full acro-mode and better FPV...bigger and heavier frame...brushless motors without a gearbox...maybe three bladed blades...programmable flight controller...OpenTx compatible receiver. Consider a 4DRC 4D-V10. It is less expensive with same feature. Or the Drone Hawk aircraft series.

This helicopter drone was my first attempt at buying and flying one! Guess what? It was EASY! This is so fun, cute, fast, and easy to fly. I could even do cool tricks. I did crash it into some trees and a wall while learning but the tuff and flexible plastic made it almost indestructible : ) I love the lights and all the extra parts and the second battery. It has a really long flight time on a charge and was very inexpensive. I completely recommend this for anyone (kids and adults).

The $85 Syma X700W. in a flyover. 8mph winds are about the maximum breeze it can handle. At higher wind speeds above that, you're flying backward, even with full forward trim. In calm air the 700 is a great, stable flyer with excellent hover. It's a nearly indestructible quad, saddled with a crappy camera app that needs major user-friendly improvements. Hover-over labels for tagging those mysterious media function arrows would be nice, or some printed instructions about getting the Syma Fly camera app to work as advertised. Mobile phone control worked erratically But for 85 bucks this is about what we expected.

The toy is all right, but it’s doesn’t fly or hover straight and despite trying to adjust the settings with the remote control, we haven’t been able to fix that.

I really have to say I'm a noob at flying quadcopters or drones. And this thing is easy! It actually maintains the height you want it at and it's very responsive for an affordable beginner drone! I got the hang of it in avout 5 mins and then I'm chasing the kid and the cats around the house 🤣 I really have to say if your wanting a good basic drone this is the one plus all the extras you could ask for incase accidents happen. Bravo guys

This drone was easy to use ! Video picture is clear , good quality for a decent price ! My daughter loves it! Instructions are easy , shipping was very fast. Many ppl have seen us using it & asked about it , if ur thinking of purchasing one , I’d say go for it ! ❤️

We got this as a Christmas present, and it stopped working in early January. For some reason, the top right propeller won't spin anymore. We replaced the propeller, but the issue seems to be with an internal component. This is really disappointing because it was one of the nicer gifts that we got for our kid and was a top item on their list. Poor quality, and not worth the money. Updated to add that the seller asked me to contact them for instructions on returning the item. I contacted them and did not receive any response or instructions. Poor product and poor quality service

Drone practically flies itself and even has the ability to change gears to make it move a bit faster but the default is more than enough. the camera and app work but it took me a bit to figure out how to get it to work. you MUST have the drone and the controller on and paired to one another, they do it automatically, and once that is done you need to connect to the wifi of the drone. mine had no password but once you connect to the wifi WITH the controller and drone on you can hit start on the app and it will show you the video from the drone. the camera is decent for what it is but don't expect super good quality though. overall happy with the drone. EDIT: the drone lasted a month and now it won't fly and just glitches out on the ground and doesn't do anything besides try and destroy itself by flopping around like a fish on dry land. we had seen early signs of it acting odd but thought it might have been us trying to fly it an odd way and the auto-correcting just over-correcting but i believe it was early signs of this drones death
