After watching many videos on the X5C-1 this one is by far the best for those new to flying that want to understand the controls and concepts of this quad. Thank You for taking the time and effort.
Thank you
@@Jeffs820 I have a question what is tram ?
@@juliangonzalez584 Trim you mean. Lets say you are in your house and have zero wind you hover in place. Trim forward will make the quad move forward on it's on trim back and it will go backwards on it's own. Same for left and right. So to fight some minor winds one may trim out his quad or airplane. All RC has trims Cars boats ect. Hope that makes since. One this quad you really don't need to mess with trims to be honest just learn to fly it and everything will be fine. I rarely if ever use trims on any of my quads.
Just received mine today. I spent the battery charge just attempting the basics as I'm a newb. Thanks for sharing your demo as I learned a few things. I'll be sure to pass on the favor and include my vids as I progress. This is addicting and exciting!!! Fly on.
I've had my syma X5c1 for 2 years now with no issues and plenty of great footage taken winter time and summer
I dropped mine into a pool. Went and did something stupid and did an altitude test. Lol. Don't try this in your backyard! It got up at like 150' and when it lost signal, it was gone. I tried desperately turning my remote on and off trying to regain control, which only sealed my fate. It dropped when the battery died and fell into my pool. It sank right to the bottom where it stayed for 3 minutes until I could fish it out. It sputtered and flinched when I turned I back on so I considered it dead. The next day after it dried out it was 100%. I was amazed lol. I learned to fly it indoors with no wind so when I first took it outside I had to learn flying all over again. Because they're so light they are victim to even the slightest winds.
"if its a good day to fly a kite, its a bad day to fly a drone." great quote haha
I'm a beginner buying one too. EXCELLENT instructional Video (understanding) that your beginner viewers are simply that . . . BEGINNERS. You are not getting all 'technical' trying to impress people. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Thank you for your video i just bough on of these and look forward to flying it
My second quad went very high into a large oak tree about three months ago. Unretrievable. I couldn’t even find or see it. It came down two days ago in a big rain/wind storm. Found it upside-down in the yard. Changed batteries. Works perfectly. Only the on/off switch is corroded in the ON position.
Great video thanks. I wish I had watched it before I got my X5C as it flew away due to my own stupidity on my second flight. Fortunately I got it back completely undamaged from a neighbor who found it on their roof and I am now having great fun with it.
Cheers Jeff, really informative and useful.
I just ordered my first quad - Syma X5SC-1... can't wait for it to come in. I will probably be needing repair parts soon ha ha
+Tukarama Glad you got the -1 version you will like it. Remove the Prop guards, camera and legs for a sporty flight.
Great video.....UPS is on the way with mine right now!!
The trim lesson you are soooo right. I don't see many people doing that. They calibrate and take off!!! On my checklist is: Bind, Calibrate, Low level trim, then go fly!
Very good instructional coverage for newbies. Thanks for making and sharing. This basically should be in the box on a USB stick on DVD disc along with the drone when you first buy it. The coverage is just enough and not too much. I will probably watching this a few more times so that I can learn my new S5WW-V3 that I just picked up. Now I'm looking to see which battery kit will be the most beneficial. It seems like you can use the same battery pack for the X5SW as you can for the V3? I'll find out one way or another.
Thanks for the information, just what I needed.
Good video.....believe him when he says don't go over the trees. Mine was last seen heading due west towards Cali
LOL
My X5c1 lost power and fell in a pond floating for about 30 seconds before I rescued .. dried it out ...still works ..camera was totally submerged and works fine still ...
Im buying one of these soon glad i found this vid. I dont want to be one of those guys who smash it first flight
Good vid, thanks for the share. One safety issue I would add is never violate the prop rotation space with your fingers, hand, tools, etc. even with the battery out. Make a habit of respecting the props - there will be a day when you spin up the props unexpectedly. Human error will get you every time. Go under the quad to lift it - respect the props.
CrossThread Aero Industries i probably hit my fingers around 13 times
Glad I found this, looking for a beginners quad and I think I just found it.
Bayan1905 yep this is what I suggest. its been the go to quad for most peoples first quad. 3 years later and we still fly it. its awesome and very durable. Also cheap to work on if you have to. I stock motors in thr USA so hit me up if you ever need any. order a set of x5hc props for it. once you master it with stock props the x5hc props add more zip to it
Nice video...very helpful
I love mine. learned slowly inside. then took it outside, and basicly did what this video did. But you can buy spare batteries for it on amazon. I have only had to change one blade and a guard, but spend the extra loot and have spare parts. Also, make sure you learn how to know where to put the blades. I put the wrong ones on when i changed colors(blue front, white rear). If you don't watch pitch your drone will not work good, if at all.
I loved this video. thanks. James
Thanks James. Feel free to hit me up if you ever have any questions or need any parts in the USA. I stock a ton of syma parts.

Thanks for the video!
Thanks ,very helpful video ,I'm beginner waiting for my X5C
Your going to love it. Enjoy
me 2
My X5c will delivered tomorrow ^_^
Mines coming in 2 weks
Hey. Than you for this instruction. I tried this cou completely, but the quadcopter wont fly properly still. I have to hold down the right lever to the right to get the quadcopter to elevate, but controlling it in the air is impossible. Please help, I’d like to use it for a conference next week. Thanks
Very Informative. Wished I would have know about your channel before i lost a Quad. Lost a Syma X5UW because i went above tree line . New subber :) have Bugs3,H5(19 dollars) and repurchased the X5UW, Have The X5C-1 and the
MJX X708W Cyclone Brushed RC Quadcopter - RTF coming in the mail
Sounds like your hooked. Just take it nice and slow and keep them below the trees until your comfortable flying them. The Bugs 3 is much more powerful than the Syma. I have all the MJX quads as well.
just ordered one.
BIG THANKS!!!!
I wanted to ask you should I go for the X5C or the X5UW or the Syma x5sw
Thanks for the video..... and great advice.... don't push it beyond tree height on your first try!
Got mine on order should be delivered in a couple days. Also ordered a Huiying x6058 and Holy Stone Predator.
Never had any of the Huiying. Good luck and fly high.
+Jeff Suits Frequent Flyer on youtube raves about it. Watched his review and flight sessions and the x6058 is an awesome sport quad.
+JeffSuitsRCAddicition so you only have to use the right buttons of left and right and foward and back ward not the left buttons?
Thanks man I just got my X5SW Quadcopter and it worked great but after a few flights it kept flipping to the side on take off, I haven't tried yet But I believe this video you may have shown me how to fix the problem by TRIMMING LMAO!! I thought it was broke!
Hector Manuel place trims to center. place quad on level surface and bind to radio. now hold both sticks to the bottom right to calibrate gyros and all should be good when the leds on the quad turn solid.
Good info !!!
thank you for the video. I am planning on purchasing one of these and was wondering if you need to register and or get a license for this type of aircraft. thank you
Nope just fly and enjoy.
Great video, thanks for making and sharing it. I brought my first quadcopter yesterday so your video was very helpful. If you don't mind I would appreciate any helpful links you think would be helpful to me, like where to get the spare parts...thanks again.
+Bob Yelkin facebook.com/groups/964341156917325/
+Jeff Suits That is my Syma group. Your welcome to join us. I stock lots of the parts and lots of quads in the USA. Just message me there. My name is Jeff Suits.
Good vid.....thank you.
my syma 5xc-1 is about 2-3 weeks 😁
I just ordered this drone and appreciated watching your video. Is that about the sound/noise I cn expect to hear from my new x5c-1? Thanks again--subbed!
Yes it's not to loud. At about 25 or 30 feet you can't even hear it.
@@Jeffs820 Thank you! It is a great little drone. I'm giving one away on my channel soon. Thanks!
I don't get my camera with it
When i connect my battery to charger a red light comes on at the usb end of charging cord , when i connect to my pc that red light on the charging cord turns off rite away. My drone while flying has powered down so i guessing im not getting a full charge.
If you have a Syma X5C plug it in the wall and charge till the light goes off. Be sure and join our group on facebook and we can help you with any issues there. Lots of great folks in our group. facebook.com/groups/964341156917325/
I dont have the Symantec brand name on my Quad, but it is virtually identical to the Syma in your video. I have two. The first is giving me problems. First just one, then two of the motors started turning very fast when I switch the power on the quad. Is this some kind of trim problem, or has the quad got electronics problems? Can I fix it myself?
Sounds like it might have fried the board. You can replace the flight control board cheap.
Can you connect your phone to this drone and if so what app do i download. Thanks
They have a version that you can use your phone but it is so bad I do not suggest it. All Wifi cameras on these toys grade quads sucks. If your wanting to see what your camera is seeing I suggest 5.8ghz FPV camera. You can pick up an AIO camera cheap. Then you'll need either a 5.8ghz monitor or a ppair of 5.8ghz googles. You want regret it. FPV is where it's at. Something to think about. Don't skimp on your goggles. Spend good money on quality as they will work with all your future quads. I love my fatshark goggles. Best money I've spent on the hobby as was a good hobby grade radio. If you get those 2 items you can them purchase the BNF (Bind and fly) quads cheap and really enjoy the hobby. Good luck.
Jeff,
when I do bank turn, the throttle always empty the bar and the quad went down...any tips on that?
thanks
+BuSHidoZZe Sounds like your dropping the throttle to much. Stay on the gas and pull the throttle left or right at a higher position.
Hey jeff, I am looking forward to buying the syma x5c-1 but my friends are telling me to go for the x5hc-1. Which one do u think will be a good option for me? I like ling range quads.
well neither are long range. both are 100m without doing a mod to the radio. The x5c-1 is a great quad and takes a beating. Its more of a sporty flight. The x5hc-1 features altitude hold. its easier to fly but not as sporty. The altitude hold feature is always on with no way to turn it off. It does work well for making your videos more stable. Also the x5hc-1 is capiable of carrying a runcam camera if you want to. The x5c-1 will not unless you put x5hc props on it. Personally I like the X5C-1 with X5HC-1 props and mount a fx797t camera on top for FPV and a hood set of goggles for 5.8ghz flying. For the money its the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Hope this helps. check out my videos. I have a bunch flying both quads and do a bunch of mods.
i have tried the cam on my syma clone when i go back to it on the computer it gives me like 10 seconds of vid. what am i doing wrong?
Make sure you stop the video recording before you unplug the quad. Other than that you may need to change out the memory card.
JeffSuitsRCAddiction thank you sir I changed the card and folloed your dirctions I think there may be a faulty camera still only showing maybe 10 seconds of vids but it takes excellent pics
hi Jeff,
my syma X5sc cant hover altitude, I think it keep climbing in the air even the throttle bar is only around 3 to 4 bar.
its seem not stay hover like your x5c :(
what is the problem Jeff?
+BuSHidoZZe It will. It's throttle control. Just have to find that sweet spot. Note it changes as the batteries die. I have many many flight under my belt. Practice make perfect.
Excellent video, as a beginner should I install the included prop guards? ?
No we call them tree hangers. I've never broke a prop on the X5C. Fly it like you stole it. The best advise I can offer is if you see your going to crash that's ok just kill the throttle and let it. You don't want to be upside down in the grass with the throttle wide open. It will burn out a motor. If this happens hit me up I stock all the syma motors in the USA.

Hey Jeff do u know atall if u can plug ur phone into controller to watch what u r videoing or anyway of connecting it
Jack tm140 some phones have an sd card slot on the outside. if not on yours there is no way to view the videos and photos on your phone witout copying the to your phone via your computer.
ok thanks
Nice vid. I have the same one :).
But one question, the sd-card from the drone fits into my old samsung galaxy s3 phone, but unfortunately u can only hear the sound... The filming is just black. Will it be different on the computer? Have I done anything wrong?
fredrik jonsson Try it on your computer, I put it into my computer and i can hear the sound and see the recording.
No use the computer and it should be fine. VLC is a good media player if you have any issue try it. I use movie maker to edit my videos. All windows computers come with it or if not you can download it for free from Microsoft.
Liked & subbed. Why? Because Trim is my friend.
Is there a way to increase the flight time?
use a larger battery. Get an 800mAh battery. You'll get about 12 minutes.
Awesome VIDEO BROTHER ....IT WONT FLIP WITH THE CAMERA ON...LANDING GEAR YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF TO PUT IT SPORTS MODE.THE X5C COMES IN 2 MODES PHOTOGRAPHER AND SPORTS MODE...
Mine flips just fine as stick setup. Press the front right button and move the right stick in the direction of the flip. Put syma X5HC props on it and it's got a ton more lift and thrust. Makes an awesome FPV flying machine. check out my other videos for how to mod and add FPV and such.
How do you calibrate? When I hold both sticks down and right the motors spin. :/
Hum that don't sound right. I think you may have an issue. Are you sure you have the Syma X5C or X5C-1? There are a lot of clones that look just like the X5C. It should say Syma on the top of the quad and on the radio.
JeffSuitsRCAddiction I got the clone and the real one, the real one doesnt do it but fake one does lol
Doing both sticks to bottom right does nothing on my AKASO X5C (Syma clone)
Guess i'm stuck with a constantly flipping over drone :(
Try both to the bottom left. LED's should flash then turn solid. Have your trims set to center before you do the calibration.
Please reply to me man I seriously need help, is it possible to connect my x5c-1 drone camera to my phone so I can see it live?? I seen a lot of other videos showing you can by just connecting it to the WiFi but I don’t understand it!! When I️ turn my drone on and search my phone for that FPV WiFi I don’t find it as an option to connect to please please please reply
No you can not connect the X5C-1 to your phone. That would be the Syma X5HW. To be honest it's no that good. In fact it sucks. You should avoid any toy grade quad with wifi cameras. Reason being Wifi is 2.4ghz and so is your radio. The camera can and will step on the radio signal resulting in loss of control of your quad and you will crash. I have no idea why they even make them. It's because the public wants to use their phones. It's horrible just don't do it. I've tested 100's of quads and they are all the same. Keep your phone out of the hobby. Now with that said if your wanting to have a real time view from your quad you can do it. You should always use 5.8ghz FPV. I have a video showing what you need and how it works on my channel. ruclips.net/video/d_fFS9GTZgI/видео.html
Here is what a syma wifi camera will do for you ruclips.net/video/yNZUKLwyWoY/видео.html
The x5sw will connect also. Mine does but I don't use it. The video isn't good and it's impossible to fly fpv due to lag
Yeah avoid any wifi toygrade cameras they all suck.
Need to buy a motor for this quad. Can you supply me with one ?
Yes
its just for me or its grove street
What you want is the MJX Bugs 3.... it's $50 on Ebay from the U.S......
I've had a dozen MJX bugs 3 quads.
I have videos on that one also.
Whats the camera you are recording this with?
The runcam and it's great I also fly it on my quads wear it on my hat to make these videos and use it for my fishing trip. In fact I like them so much I have 2. Here is where I bought it. $49.99 www.banggood.com/Runcam-FPV-HD-1080P-Wide-Angle-Mini-Sport-Action-Camera-for-250mm-Frame-Quadcopter-p-1017506.html?p=3O030080139520141067
What's that 2.4G screen on the bottom used for, I can never figure it out.
Leolikespizza it shows your rates and trim settings. Also your battery power in the radio and signal strength
JeffSuitsRCAddiction Thanks mate!
I'm going to get some drones
All I wanted to know if the camera was really HD but appearently that is not important...
It's a 720P camera and takes 2mp photos. It's not the greatest quality but it's good for what the cost is.
How Do You Go Up And Down?
Live World left stick up and down is your throttle
I'm 11 and I know how to work this drone do you think it's safe for me to get it
+Gregory Sullivan Yes this one would be perfect for you to start out with or the Syma X11 both are great. My kids have them as well
+Jeff Suits I agree with everything except the trim part. There is always a wind and I find trimming for it will help it fly it to it. By holding both sticks to the bottom right does reset the quad gyros when setting on a level surface. I always do that before I fly. I've also take control of 2 Symas at one time. One inside a building and one outside in the parking lot. Proved the X5C was about indestructible LOL. Thousands of flights with 100's of quads under mt belt and still did it.
Can you charge the battery please Answer
yes
JeffSuitsRCAddiction thanks
Can it do a 360 flip?
yes press the right front shoulder button and move the right stick in the direction you want to flip. You have to do it fairly fast. Press and move. The quad will catch itself when it levels so don't be scared to try it out.
JeffSuitsRCAddiction Thank you!
What app did you use for the camera on your smartphone? If SYMA FPV it won't pair with the drone :-(
What drone do you have?
Syma X5C-1@@Jeffs820
There is no app for the x5c - 1. The camera does not transmit a signal. You would need to add an fpv camera to achieve live feed. I have a video showing the fpv camera and goggles that I use on my x5c 1 see my other videos.
Also I highly suggest avoiding any Syma quadcopter that has the letter w in the model number. Syma is known to have crap Wi-Fi. I suggest 5.8ghz fpv camera. See my other videos for a sample of me using one on my x5c-1 its big fun.
Thanks, Jeff!@@Jeffs820

But you flew it for like 8 minutes
Yes and the battery wasn't fully charged. I can fly for about 12 - 13 minutes on a full charged nanotech 750mAh battery. I also use a 1200mAh battery and get closer to 15 minutes.
Oh nice you can do that becuase I bought one
Yep if you get the nanotech750mAh battery just compare the wires to your stock battery and make sure they are in the same order. I've received a few over the years the wires were backwards. It's a simple fix but if you fail to check it and it's backwards you'll smell smoke fast LOL. Also change out the props for the Syma X5HC props. They will provide you a lot of thrust meaning you can fly longer faster and they are quieter. Feel free to join our group. facebook.com/groups/964341156917325/
Oh Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas to you and thank you :D
It is very costly
Yash Sahay $39 free shipping on ebay. Extra batteries are $7.00 each.
Jim Myers its camera is of how many rupees
in which country you are living america i am living in india
Please give me a for freeeee
It's not a drone!!! It's a toy quadcopter...........
a child could fly this with no knowledge of flying it's as toy grade as you can get
Great quad for any fleet
Is it not more interesting to read the user manual instead of watching and listening to this boring crap.
I wanted to ask you should I go for the X5C or the X5UW or the Syma x5sw
X5C all the way
