Also you failed to mention, at least I don't recall you mentioning, the auto raise and lower altitude. I believe it adjusts approx 3' for each time pressed. Good video
Chris, thanks for the nice vid...very helpful. You mentioned that this wasn't your favorite quad but you liked it. What is your favorite quad that's in this general category?
+Glenn doney thanks for the compliment! My favorite quad is the Q303 from WLToys. I reviewed it recently and I would say it's definitely my favorite toy grade quad by far!
Only had mine for 2 test flights so far, and I'd like to enjoy it, but it does have some issues. Like you, the "lack of input" delay should be longer. No matter how much I mess with the trim options it won't hover properly, even inside. On the second flight, I had to hold the movement stick completely over just to maintain a hover. Still looking into a couple things, but hopefully I didn't get a malfunctioning unit.
I think the barometer in it is kind of wacky and that's why it doesn't hold a good hover....it's kind of all over the place. Yeah, I think the lack of input feature should be a little longer, but if you lose connection and need it to auto land then you probably would be glad it's short...haha
For your first drone I think this is perfect for anyone. Very easy to fly combined with streaming video....a lot of bang for your buck. After you get used to flying this one, like me, you will start looking to purchase a more advanced drone with more capabilities.
Hi Chris. I notice a mistake you made when turning on the drone. When turning on must any drone... it is important to make sure the drone is setting on a flat level surface. This allows the drones flight bouncing sensors to know when the Drone is level. when the Drone is powered up on an unlevel surface or while holding it sideways for say the Drone things that's its level so when you start it up it will tend to drift in the direction it was turned on at. it's quite simple to even see this with you turning your drone on without it being setting down in a level position and your drone immediately started to drift. I'm not criticizing and please take this as just information to help you be more important but try placing the Drone down on the flat level service plugging it in and then hitting the auto take off and watch it hover without drifting.
From what I personally have noticed it's not on until you plug it in. This is more noticeable when you use the app on your phone because the wifi won't link up to your phone until the drone is on. I have been doing it wrong all along myself as well.
Hey Chris, would you be able to recommend a drone that I can put in a backpack as I want to get footage when I am in the mountains, I was thinking of buying this one but concerned it may get damaged when packed away, especially the rotors. Any advice welcome. This one also doesn't seem too noisy, which is always good. Should I have a separate 'drone bag' to my backpack? That just makes hiking a little awkward. Also wonder how long the flight time lasts?
This wouldn't be your best option because it's not easy to control with a lot of wind and if you're in the mountains I would assume there would be some. Maybe like a DJI Spark or DJI Mavic Air would be good, but they are more expensive.
it just keeps going until it loses signal it ocassionally beeps a couple of times when its starting to lose connectivity but in my experience it rarely does
question I bought one yesterday took it outside hit my auto hover button and the thing just flat took off and disappeared on me my neighbor found it today any input on this issue.....please help
I've had this happen to me twice myself....wish I had a better answer for you as to why, but I'm not really sure. I always launch it in the lowest rate now and try to point it where it won't get lost if it takes off. Some sort of bug in the system I'm afraid.
I have recently obtained the sky viper but unfortunately I didn't receive a controller. so I down loaded the app and tried to connect to the drone with my phone. For the first time this drone has a password that I can not figure out. How can I get around this so the drone wasn't a waist of money
I think the V950STR and V950HD have the one touch panoramic view....not sure this one has it...if it does all it does is make the quad fly in a circle that works to varying degrees depending on how windy it is outside.
Make sure the throttle is all the way down. It wont take off if its even a little bit up. Put the throttle down and hit the auto pilot button to get it going
Rishab Patel on the controls the light should not bling turn the drone on and turn the controller of and back on and when the light is not blinking hold stunt and hold auto launch for like 3 seconds
The props have to be on the right motors or it won't take off. I believe they a labeled A and B depending on which motor they are supposed to be on. They aren't interchangeable so you have to make sure they are on the right motors. If that isn't it then there is probably something wrong with your drone.
Trim means if you find the quad drifting in a certain direction give it trim in the opposite direction to correct it so it hovers for you. I believe it goes over this in the manual. Hope this helps.
hi, i just buy a skyviper 2400hd drone today, and,, its dosnt work like this video, i using in auto launch, the drone fly to one side they never get stable in the air. the batery is very bad, no more than 5 min testing and the batery was gone "low batery" so im gonna return this drone. and i dont recommend this drone to anybody.
I had a hard time with this one when I first got it and thought about taking it back, but I actually read the manual, which I don't usually do, and found that this one operates a little different than most. It's definitely not perfect and has a few bugs, namely reliability issues, but somehow I still enjoy it. Can definitely see why you don't like it though.
The drone when taking off the ground goes to one side and does not go up as shown in your video, and does not fly like the video, always lose the connection and I have to turn it off and on again to turn on the drone, The buttons for video and photos do not work, I have to use my cell phone to take photos and record video.
adonis W yeah when I first got mine It needed to be trimmed badly but once that was sorted I was able to get it flying fairly nicely I even got to 88 feet once but I feel like it looses connection out of the blue no matter how close you are to it
sky viper streaming video. ok i need a charger replacement which is the one you plug the batteries into to charge. can someone please help me out! Tired and desperate. oh and my name is Debbie Penner. on my moms computer
it dose not work im mad now that not helping HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAL
just bought the v2400fpv! haven't flown it yet due to work....can't wait!🚁🚁🚁
Hope you enjoy it!
Also you failed to mention, at least I don't recall you mentioning, the auto raise and lower altitude. I believe it adjusts approx 3' for each time pressed. Good video
Sweet review Chris, I really hope to pick one up when I go to Canada soon.
Thank you! Hope you get you hands on one!
Thanks man I just got this drone for xmas too needed some tips.. great video it helped me !!
Great! Glad I could help!
Great video when I got it this Christmas I was so confused on how to take it out of auto mode thanks for showing me
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and happy flying!

i had troubles with mine drifting with the blade guards on. I took them off and it holds position better. not perfectly, but better.
And is it durable
For your first drone I think this is perfect for anyone. Very easy to fly combined with streaming video....a lot of bang for your buck. After you get used to flying this one, like me, you will start looking to purchase a more advanced drone with more capabilities.
Agree with you 100%, Mike!
Thanks Chris....Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thank you! To your family as well!
Thanks Chris you rock ....Paul from Cincinnati Ohio

I meant to say "more informed" to not important sorry about that
does this mean when you first plug the battery in or when you turn on the controller?
From what I personally have noticed it's not on until you plug it in. This is more noticeable when you use the app on your phone because the wifi won't link up to your phone until the drone is on. I have been doing it wrong all along myself as well.
You can hook these up to a phone? How?@@Farrell0208
Do you think the Jumper would give better range on this? Only major issue with this quad is the range.
Do you recommend this drone? I'm looking to get this for Christmas. It looks really fun. Does it fly well?
It's not bad...I think some people will love it and some people will hate it.
Chris Walsh I'm looking at the Q303 from WLtoys, would you get the 303 or the sky viper?
Giannis Antetokounmpo I got for Christmas with out knowing it
Mr Penguin what do you mean for me it works perfectly it's just the charging that sucks
Mr Penguin I saw your RUclips Chanel on another vid

What's the best way to remove the prop protectors? Thanks, I enjoy your videos.....
I think they just unscrew don't they? Not sure, I never put mine on.
Wildhog32 use a pencil or pen tip, or just anything sturdy that will fit. Push them upwards from the bottom, be careful not to damage the blades.
Thank....Worked great!!!!
Thanks.......
does the battery life and range is good
..how much is the range
Range is somewhat unreliable...maybe 200 feet. Battery life is about 7.5 to 8 minutes.
Guneet Singh on mine the range seems to be like 100 feet being optimistic
If you take it too far is it going to keep going until it loses the signal or it tells you to come back?
it just keeps going until it loses signal it ocassionally beeps a couple of times when its starting to lose connectivity but in my experience it rarely does
Jose Matasol oh okay
this vid really helped me with this drone thanks
Glad it helped you out!
I have the same one, but have not flown it yet. Does this have enough power to lift a1oz weight 100ft up??
I got one today but how do you connect your phone to the drone
Angel Diaz you have to download the app and connect to the wifi the drone gives you.
How would you get your password for the wifi frame the drone forgot password
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Plz figure out how to link up a android to a skyviper 2450
Do you know we're you can get more protection guards for the drone ?
I think you can buy them from Skyviper's website.
Hey chris can you review the headset they are selling the drone with the headset on toy r us
I probably won't review it because I got the version without one.
What is the difference between this and the journey gps video pro
you just got a sub... ur an amazing guy tho
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it!
Does the sky viper app work with v950hd
Not sure....I'll have to try it.
Chris, can you or someone on here help me figure out why mine won't turn on or anything.
how do fix the v2400hd mine won't link up
You take it to the Pawn Shop... Duh!
thank you so much I suscribed
Thank you!
I want to get this because I only have the other SkyViper also you should get the Phantom I have the standard and the 4K one with the gold rings
+TheRoboticKidTV this one is pretty good but has a few bugs from time to time. I have the Phantom 4 actually.
nice im geting the phantom 4 soon im excited
Hola, sky v250gps o sharper DX - 4 ??
Hey I have one and auto take off does not help
question I bought one yesterday took it outside hit my auto hover button and the thing just flat took off and disappeared on me my neighbor found it today any input on this issue.....please help
I've had this happen to me twice myself....wish I had a better answer for you as to why, but I'm not really sure. I always launch it in the lowest rate now and try to point it where it won't get lost if it takes off. Some sort of bug in the system I'm afraid.
thanks for advice
Mine keeps spinning.
if it doesn't work than just go into manual mode if u can fly a r/c heli indoors.
doesnt work manual
Do u have to have a smart phone to control it.....
+Paul Ger no.
I have recently obtained the sky viper but unfortunately I didn't receive a controller. so I down loaded the app and tried to connect to the drone with my phone. For the first time this drone has a password that I can not figure out. How can I get around this so the drone wasn't a waist of money
When I try to fly with WiFi it cuts out and won’t respond to my controller normally but if I fly without WiFi it works perfectly! Any suggestions
very nice video like
+LTECNIC DRONES Y RC, en Español thank you!
all of the stores that advertise this say it has a "one touch panoramic view", but there is zero instructions how to work it. does anyone know?
I think the V950STR and V950HD have the one touch panoramic view....not sure this one has it...if it does all it does is make the quad fly in a circle that works to varying degrees depending on how windy it is outside.
The v2400HD does not have the one touch panoramic view it just does a barrel roll when you try to do one
CartoonCats101 Studios they have a video explaining it in the app
That was helpful thanks
How far can we receive signal o.o
mine doesn't even work what am I doing wrong
What's the problem?
Ok thank you
can u tell us how to start it plz becuz idk how to
Either hit the auto launch button or go into manual mode like I show in the video and throttle up. Or read the manual.
@@ChrisWalshTech it doesnt work
I realized my 2450HD Fpv was in manual mode haha, for the first try I thought it was drunk
I've tried 2 of these and both of these would loose connection at different distances & fall out of the sky even while flying.
+Larry Hodge Yeah the range on them isn't great. I don't usually fly too far away from myself with it.
mine wont take off :( . ive tried everything
when i try to auto launch it just beeps
Emma J the left joy stick has to be down
eggplant iguana mine does the same thing
Did you check the propellers they need to be set A B in a X position or it will not fly
Make sure the throttle is all the way down. It wont take off if its even a little bit up. Put the throttle down and hit the auto pilot button to get it going
How control very well?
Practice.
I have the spy viper v2400hd, I can't get the remote to sync to the drone please help!
when a blade is not spinning what to do
You probably need to replace a motor.
mines not launching!! i hit autolaunch and it just beeps everytime. its not damaged we checked out the blades. nothing is working please help!! thx
turn off controller. Unplug battery on drone. reconnect and power up.
thx but I fixed the problem, the battery's in my
controller were not being compatible...
Rishab Patel on the controls the light should not bling turn the drone on and turn the controller of and back on and when the light is not blinking hold stunt and hold auto launch for like 3 seconds
me too i just bougt for christmas
could u tell me how to get the drone to fly
I'm talking to Chris wald
I meant to say Chris walsh
Watch the video! It goes over how to make it fly!
can someone explain me why my drone doesn't fly but only one side of it hover and the other sode stays on the floor?? plsss
Are the props on the right motors?
Chris Walsh what motors?
The props have to be on the right motors or it won't take off. I believe they a labeled A and B depending on which motor they are supposed to be on. They aren't interchangeable so you have to make sure they are on the right motors. If that isn't it then there is probably something wrong with your drone.
3rd one one rotor slows and it flips every time is it me?
Motor dying?
Chris Walsh only used it 3 times
Altitude hold is same thing as hover
what does trim mean people
Trim means if you find the quad drifting in a certain direction give it trim in the opposite direction to correct it so it hovers for you. I believe it goes over this in the manual. Hope this helps.
hellow I really like your vids! keep with the good work! like you( first comment)
+GAMINGwithFW thank you!
como conecto mi viper al control
Se debe enlazar automáticamente. Si no hay un problema con ella
hi, i just buy a skyviper 2400hd drone today, and,, its dosnt work like this video, i using in auto launch, the drone fly to one side they never get stable in the air. the batery is very bad, no more than 5 min testing and the batery was gone "low batery" so im gonna return this drone. and i dont recommend this drone to anybody.

Then take it back.
adonis W I had that problem too my dad found that the one propeller probably has a loose screw or you need to adjust the trim
adonis W yeah when I first got mine It needed to be trimmed badly but once that was sorted I was able to get it flying fairly nicely I even got to 88 feet once but I feel like it looses connection out of the blue no matter how close you are to it
sky viper streaming video. ok i need a charger replacement which is the one you plug the batteries into to charge. can someone please help me out! Tired and desperate. oh and my name is Debbie Penner. on my moms computer
This should work for you and you can charge multiple batteries if you have them. amzn.to/2tpX4UI
I spy on my neighbors with this drone XD
Haha, be careful!
I have the the same drone and it never even got into the air
I have wone
Why my sky viper go anywhere it’s ruined me
it dose not work
im mad now that not helping HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAL
than use manual!
these drones suck. i have had 2, they both loose connection
Get DJI drones
you ramble on too much about the altitude hold. do the demo and move on.
Noted.
Rude smh
