They seem to have made a few refinements/improvements but the way it lands and man that LVC dropping clean out of the air kind of overshadows any improvements made . Nice video and honest review Pete , keep up the good work buddy :)
Tim Robinson Thanks man :) Hopefully it is just mine that wants to go places once it touches down and if it is not then syma needs to fix that problem.
I think I have seen the same outcome on another review on this quad on RUclips , it was the wi-fi version though of this new X8 , so it doesn't look too promising.
wonder if the old transmitter for the x8hg works on this.... That one had better range. And just as the old X8HG version you have to controll the landing and not stop doing that at touch down. You have to make adjustments untill the props is shut down. :-) MIne X8HG did the same to, untill I notices I had to controll that landing and not stop doing that until props stoped completaly. By the way, check the interior of the quad. SYMA has very hard plastic body, so the outside seldome gets cracked, bu the inside is more easier to break.
Thanks Jerry :) The x8g and the x8hg remotes both work with this quad but even the x8g remote without the altitude hold still arms with the throttle up and when lowered all the way down, takes a while before it shuts off the motors just like the stock remote and the x8hg remote. The x8hg quad when it lands, it stays put until the motors stop, this one however, wants to move after it has its legs on the ground and thus the flip over. I'll take a look inside to see if damage has been done :)
Hey RC Escape, did you find you had problems with the motors shutting of at full lower throttle and steep descent with autoland function? q101 had these issues..big fail by syma imo especially because its a new updated version x8 series
I've gotten used to the x8hg and have no problems with it but this one has "new" problems where it wants to go places after it has touched down and thus the flip over!!! The lvc function where it supposed to lower its altitude so the controller has time to safely land is however not a working function as you have seen in this video.
RC Escape yeah I noticed that, syma should get their sh!t together and should have made this new look x8 series a brush less quad, to take on the x16...i see no benefits in buying this newer version...I have or should I say had a x8hc clone with 3speeds not 2 and AH and is a great flyer... I have recently put all the electronics, motors RX board etc into my spare x16 shell as I like the x16 design better. its in my latest video called x16 typhoon oz day flight 😀
RC Escape I agree with you there, I like the style and quick release, legs, props and prop guards...I just think syma should have stepped it up and followed the brush less motor trend with this one at an affordable price like Bugs 3, X16 etc 👍
When you say "thanks to Gearbest for providing this quadcopter" does that mean they're giving it to you, you bought it or what? Do you get it for doing the review? What's the deal?
RC Escape How dos that work? Do you approach them or do they approach you? Is it because you do a lot of reviews or because you have a certain amount of subscribers? Just curious. I'm new to all this. Thanks. Greg
How does YT work? Do you approach them or do they approach you about sponsoring a video? Is it because you do a lot of reviews or because you have a certain amount of subscribers or views? Just curious. I'm new to all this. Thanks. Greg
Syma have been doing quite well since they started with quad from little rc heli's, hence any company that does this will try to keep you buying their own accessories, so it was inevitable they would produce batteries like this, just look at how DJI has always been, when did you last spend sunday morning under the hood of a car? But now like many companies they want things to be non user 'serviceable'. We all bought batteries for our quads from various sources, they want to stop that.
hello, I'm the Syma X8SW user from Indonesia. Nice review from Syma X8SC. It just has a different specification with X8SW, it's a FPV. In my opinion, these quad copter are very good things, but I dislike with that camera. So, I changed it with my action camera, it makes me get a good quality picture and video.
yes!! same here!! at least they should do is give us two if it is proprietary batts and that is what I always say now in my reviews and try to encourage common style of batteries :) thanks :)
I have 14 remote controls for syma quads. anf and several other companies hanging on my garage wall. too much wind here. Then I got a XIRO EXPLORER V and my trouble was solved. The quad comes with 3 speeds and range extender. it costs more but worth it. just do the math on my garage wall and I spent $490 if they were all xc5 my wife gave me the XIRO for $490 I have had to senf it in for repair several times and they fixed like new for no cost. bigric70
If you like the easy take off props, landing legs and you don't mind the smaller remote or if you already have a x8 older remote, then the x8sc may be for you but because of the distance this smaller remote lacks, the x8hg or its predecessors may be better for you :) check out the maximum distance test for this quad :) ruclips.net/video/ZZxU14fypx4/видео.html and the camera flight :) ruclips.net/video/A5-r4N4x3Bk/видео.html
Greed will destroy syma.why a special battery for a starter quad?i still think the x5c-1 and x8c are the best trainer drones.easy to fix and super cheap parts and batteries
Good morning RC, Your videos are always very clear and informaive,, good work. but Im totally not empressed with this bird. Im the guy that always says the X8C and X8G with the C remote is the still king and champ of all brushed motor quads,, it cant be improved on unless they go brushless but with all the Originjal syma attributes...$100 for 60-70 meters? they need to drug test the folks at syma,, it's going a be a cold year for them..wltoys Q303 is still the best camera bird on the toy market..
I don't this product it went up then whenever it went down without your controller in till hit the ground then it can go back to your controller,it's a pice of crape
They seem to have made a few refinements/improvements but the way it lands and man that LVC dropping clean out of the air kind of overshadows any improvements made . Nice video and honest review Pete , keep up the good work buddy :)

Tim Robinson
So it was not just my unit.....
That is too bad....
I can't imagine Syma ignoring this , it'll probably just need a firmware/software tweak . They should address the issue .
yeah, before the next batch :)

Thanks, nice video. Could you give me the name of the tune at the beginning of the video, please?
something popped off when you manually landed
yeah, it was a piece of paper debris...
also I don't like how these companies are starting to make proprietary batteries these days on their newer quads..such a crap idea
PerthWestOZ RC truley agree
it does make it easier but man...I want to use the old ones too!!!
they shouldn't fix something that's not broken
i don't like syma quadcopters at all for that money you can buy parrot bebop 1 on amazon for 200$
how is the guitarist song in the opening,,,, who's know.... the song,,, please,,,
liked every thing..the kill factor for me, the proprietary battery...
I think the battery will cost them a lot of sales. It looks nice tho. Thx Dod.
yeah...at least give us two....
This is a great video RC, I notice the jello is less on the second camera.
is this a brushless version cuz if not they need to make one
no this is still the brushed....
great video, i think is not a brushless motor, but I am not sure, and I do not know if it has key retourn. ? do yo know. ?
it does not say it has a one key return but it is not a brushless....
Great review... but the drone has problems that need sorting out...
I think it is about time to go to the basics and go brushless!!!
In your opinion is the camera better than the older syma x8c
I believe it is the same one.
Hi, please tell me what the opening song/tune was? Been looking for the name of it for quite some time. Cheers.
hi dear, this drone have one key of auto return to home?
no, it does not....
thaught this was the year they put some quality motors in there quad
the year has just begun so maybe.... :)
i want to see u review x8amg
Kellen Goodson i put the night lion motors in my x8c major improvement still brushed but mu h better motors
Does the camera have the same slot as the x8c?
Yes it does :)
thank you.
Hi pls answer and so what app do you use to film cause I had this for 2 years and I have never tried the camera so what app do I have to use
Hey RC Escape, did you find you had problems with the motors shutting of at full lower throttle and steep descent with autoland function? q101 had these issues..big fail by syma imo especially because its a new updated version x8 series
I've gotten used to the x8hg and have no problems with it but this one has "new" problems where it wants to go places after it has touched down and thus the flip over!!!

PerthWestOZ RC
I do like the new design where everything is easy to remove so there are choices if you don't have the older x8 versions :)
RC Escape I agree with you there, I like the style and quick release, legs, props and prop guards...I just think syma should have stepped it up and followed the brush less motor trend with this one at an affordable price like Bugs 3, X16 etc 👍
yeah PerthWestOZ RC I truly agree
Hello brother. Thanks again for sharing...I wanna ask if the syma x8w has an altitude hold and tnx
.
thanks!! x8w does not but the x8hg does :)
RC Escape Thank you And greetings from Lebanon
What is "S" stands for in X8SC?
I'm not So Sure...
S stands for "sucks"
mm.. it makes sense! haha
hi i sub to your channel . is the drone large ?
Mode Gamer
Yes it is fairly large :)
Great video!! Very cool lookin quad
thanks!!!
I just got my new Syma x8sc, this video was such a great heap with the tuturial, Thank you so much. Where can I get a cheap batterie?
we are a drone battery seller, contact us, we can offer your big discount. thanks
Just make sure you don't hold the down stick all the way down when at high altitude or you'll cut the motors and crash land lol
Alex Collins
Yes!!! Thanks!!!
really enjoy your videos
nice job
thanks!!!
RC Escape I've got an x8hg. Really like it
I thinik the x8hg is a very good x8
When you say "thanks to Gearbest for providing this quadcopter" does that mean they're giving it to you, you bought it or what? Do you get it for doing the review? What's the deal?
Yes this is a sponsored video.
RC Escape How dos that work? Do you approach them or do they approach you? Is it because you do a lot of reviews or because you have a certain amount of subscribers? Just curious. I'm new to all this. Thanks. Greg

they will approach you :)
How much weight it can lift????
Quality videos is good sir 🤔
What is the purpose on recalibrating the gyro?
to make it hover without drifting :)
To remind it which way is up. I guess.
WHICH IS BETTER SYMA X8SC OR SYMA X8SW
X8SW because it has a great camera quality.
nice review and flight video 👍😎
thanks!!!
RC Escape you're welcome ! 😎
Thank you! i really dont know how to land this Syma x8sc , so you recommend both trottle down inwards?
Dronelity
Yes correct :)
But do it just when it hits the ground and not before :)
Syma have been doing quite well since they started with quad from little rc heli's, hence any company that does this will try to keep you buying their own accessories, so it was inevitable they would produce batteries like this, just look at how DJI has always been, when did you last spend sunday morning under the hood of a car?

udah gan.
the promark shadow drone takes a special battery, and you cant get it so i had to return. I hate that they are making these propietary batteries
yes!! same here!! at least they should do is give us two if it is proprietary batts and that is what I always say now in my reviews and try to encourage common style of batteries :) thanks :)
cual es la distancia que alcanza ?
horizontal o vertical
Take a look at this video :)
ruclips.net/video/ZZxU14fypx4/видео.html
Just broke my x8w and was wondering if i should go with this or the x8hg?
x8hg
Ok thanks for the feedback finally saved up enough to buy one so here it goes
I have 14 remote controls for syma quads. anf and several other companies hanging on my garage wall. too much wind here.
Then I got a XIRO EXPLORER V and my trouble was solved.

So what is the best Between Syma X8HG or Syma X8SC?
If you like the easy take off props, landing legs and you don't mind the smaller remote or if you already have a x8 older remote, then the x8sc may be for you but because of the distance this smaller remote lacks, the x8hg or its predecessors may be better for you :)
check out the maximum distance test for this quad :)
ruclips.net/video/ZZxU14fypx4/видео.html
and the camera flight :)
ruclips.net/video/A5-r4N4x3Bk/видео.html
RC Escape okay maybe I'll buy the X8HG because it has 8MP camera and 1080p video..right?
8mp I'm not sure about....5mp is on some of the documentations but 1080p is certain :)
RC Escape I just looking for some information on the website and youtube video and it has 8mp camera..haha
x8hg has the same camera as the x8g and on the box it says 5mp :)
@0.33 into this video...
ruclips.net/video/9L2fbwloOco/видео.html
Really nice video!! i am going to buy this thing!! :D
awesome!!!
Hola rafa. cuando el syma x8 sc y dierencias entre sus predecesores. muchos likes.
Es bonito pero tiene sus defectos. Mi simma favorito es el x8hg
Nice review, it not you, you did a great job. it's that quad maybe it need Brushless Motors especially for that price and range under a 100 meters
thanks!!! it is the remote!!! and yeah, they should go brushless already!!!
very nice video like
thanks!!!
Great reviewer .decent drone but has problems I four d ikinda hate aslt drones they need a on off switch for alt hold
totally agreed!!! maybe they will start listening and implement it :)
Greed will destroy syma.why a special battery for a starter quad?i still think the x5c-1 and x8c are the best trainer drones.easy to fix and super cheap parts and batteries
Agreed!!! Why the small remote? They should have given us the bigger remote and an extra battery,
alguem sabe me dizer como ligar o ie fie do x8hw
Good morning RC, Your videos are always very clear and informaive,, good work. but Im totally not empressed with this bird. Im the guy that always says the X8C and X8G with the C remote is the still king and champ of all brushed motor quads,, it cant be improved on unless they go brushless but with all the Originjal syma attributes...$100 for 60-70 meters? they need to drug test the folks at syma,, it's going a be a cold year for them..wltoys Q303 is still the best camera bird on the toy market..
anyshitt
Yeah, they shrunk the remote and the distance... why ???
That was a good one anyshitt
If I were to believe the corp media outfits?I would say its all a Russian conspiracy! No offence to our Russian friends..RC your still the man..
Check the price of extra batteries - and I don't see a lot of YT "reviewers" making that point!!
I don't this product it went up then whenever it went down without your controller in till hit the ground then it can go back to your controller,it's a pice of crape
Syma is not good at altitude hold
These proprietary batteries piss me of and I know others would agree with me........Peace
DJI RULEZ !!!!
Thumbs down from me. Syma needs to go back to the drawing board
Syma should have left the x8hg just the way it is and added the easy off props :)
and went brushless!!!
good looking bird i just subscribe check out my channel
