Thanks for the great video. For trying to decide what 1st quadcopter to buy ,you were the one to help me decide. Thanks. Just received it and am having fun learning the controls. A few crashes and it still works! ( Indoors as it's winter) Liked how you were enthusiastic and impressed how stable it was. You are very professional, I liked how you were able to let cut out , fall and bring it back in control again. It will give confidence when I take it outside in the spring. Thanks again.
I've been entertaining the thought of buying this same quadcopter as I've never done it before but with practice it looks like a nice video toy for novices. It flew much higher than I expected and it looks fairly easy to conquer. Thanks for giving us the instructional.
I bought one of these to train on and I got to the point were I could control this perfectly!! But yes it is a very good trainer!!!! I still have fun flying it every now and then! I saw Syma has the new X8 out and I might get one! Camera is ok for what it is. The Syma does record sound also but the motors drown out everything! So if you make a video with it don't even bothers with the sound.
Thank you for your video. I was wondering what the wind speed was when testing this product? I'm using a Parrot AR 2.0 (with outdoor hull).. and am having very little luck with it.. I'm in need of a decent upgrade, but I want to stay within my budget..
I've watched tons of your videos and just waiting for a review of the X5C. This was my first quad and I really beat this thing up and it's still flying. Granted I disconnected the some of the lights and even modified the antenna in the quad and controller for greater range. Man keep up the great work. Have you reviewed or do you know of great video of the V303 Seeker?
Love your videos Ali! I first bought a "Quadrone Wifi" SYMA X5C type in Nov and lost it right away in tall grass next to the house. So I bought a Quark mini drone and a Spyder Medium sized drone made by Propel sold at Officemax in Hawaii. They had the Quark on sale for $27 so I have 2. Found the X5C which I have crashed and lost a few times. So far have been lucky. I'm new to drones but seems that it's best to learn indoors on a mini drone since you won't lose it. The X5C is great to learn on too and cheap at Gearbest.com. I'm seriously addicted to drones now. It's very exciting. Also I made RC planes as a kid and crashed them so I gave up. But it seems that drones are a great tool to learn to fly RC planes. I'm getting better at flying. Then to upgrade the X5C. Later I will buy a Phantom? Also the racing looks like fun! FPV? Drones are about to explode! I'm giving drones as gifts to teenage cousins. There's nothing more exciting you could do for teaching kids than to introduce them to drones. Get them away from video games! With drones they will learn electronics, engineering and mechanics in the pursuit of flight!
I got mine a few weeks back and one of the motors failed pretty quickly. I am now awaiting replacement parts from the seller. Pretty sure I bumped in a defective one though, or it could be that the lubricant I used when it started acting up killed it? Regardless I managed to fly this even in moderate winds (even though I had to keep pushing into the wind all the time). I also replaced the antennae on both quad and transmitter as they were very tiny bits of metal (not even copper). Now it sports 6.25cm of copper in the quad and 12.5cm in the transmitter and I'll see how it goes when I fly it again. Planning on having fun with this while i build my own.
Thanks. I am beginner and you are a great controller. May I see the video of this quadcopter? Mine cannot record video anymore just 1-2 clips since the beginning but still can capture picture. It also seem that one wing doesn't work well. Do you think I can fix it or have to buy a new one? Thanks for your attention. ^__^
I jut bought one of these but with the FPV camera. If I live long enough maybe some day I'll be able to fly it half as well as you demonstrated here. Nicely none!
Can you give me any flying tips? Like Trimming should I do it indoor or outdoor which is better? also is there a way to hover without it dropping altitude or gaining altitude? it seems hard to keep at a stable level? Thank you...
Hi, great video and I've subscribed to your channel, "but", have to disagree with you putting the picture quality in the 'cons' at the end of the video, personally, for the price and the given it's only a 2mp camera I think it produces decent enough results, can't wait for mine (my first) to arrive, thanks.
hello! good night very good your video, I would like to know how do to do these maneuvers with Syma x5C, as I am finding it very difficult to drive, is there any technique that I may be applying?
Just opened the package of my new Syma X5S-1 ....very much a rookie flyer .. trying to learn how to keep it from banging into my walls .. going to try to take it to the park this weekend .. any advice for a new subscriber newbie?
+DTCigarFather Get to the middle of a the biggest open space you can find A big park with no trees near it is good) and try to get well away from trees and buildings.
+DTCigarFather You need to get away from trees because I caught mine up in one about 50 feet high and only got it down by throwing a lot of big tree branches at it for half an hour. I really thought I'd lost it and was regretting not putting a "if found please phone 999999 for reward" message taped to it. You think you are well away from them but appearances are deceptive. If you think you are getting too near or too high you can cut power and crashland it. The syma is light enough to withstand multiple crashes.
Really enjoyed your video. In fact it is one of the reasons that I have ordered a Syma X5C. I was wondering if you could make a shorter video (just cutting this one) showing your precision landing in your mobile hanger. Say from 9:18 to the end. I would love to share that with a friend who would be interested in how easy you make it look.
Hey Ali I'm a big fan and love what u do and hopefully I can get as good as u In the future. I had a question what would u say is the best toy grade quad for a intermediate pilot?
ive had some reviews of x5c 1 and some say after a week the propeller wasnt working anymore? what could be the cost of that to happen? and another question is when you get the box, do you have to install the propeller or it goes with it when its already inside the box?
As Sam said above, it's the format that defines flavors of HD. The video can be HD but still be crappy because of a poor quality lens, etc.. HD = High Definition (no of pixels), not High Quality.
dscinaz also the low speed of recording data matters - it is 16 Mbps for the X5C-1 on-board stock camera whilst on popular consumer cameras like GH2 it is 24+ Mbps.
Wow, are good at flying that thing. I don't understand how it's possible to control it when you fly in a circle like that. When you go straight its push left to go left, right to go right, but how the heck do you do circle? I'm an old guy who never played with this sort of thing. Got one on order.
I got one of these and was inspired by your video. I live in Richmond CA. Just powered it up. Which mode would be the best to start? the manual talks about modes 1 & 2. Also, I'm unable to switch between High & Low. When I press the "A" button, the trim changes on the left stick display (bottom left/right) , not changing the H/L. Any ideas. I enjoy your videos and always look forward to them. Thanks, Bob
Alishanmao: just asking why they have so many of these but all have differt #on them i try to fine mine on here lol lol but there always changing the # on them lol so maybe you can tell me why... lol... lol from alaska .great videos keep up the great work your the best on here to get get all the good informaion on these thanks again
Taking on drones as a hobby this year and just purchased one for learning, can't wait!
Thanks for the video I bought this Quadcopter for the grandsons they learn to fly it very quickly, and have a blast.
+Rolando Ramos
Cool ! Great gift for kids !
I've had my Syma X5C for well over a year now and haven't had to replace any motors or gears, very dependable, I would recommend this Quad for sure !
Thanks for the great video. For trying to decide what 1st quadcopter to buy ,you were the one to help me decide. Thanks. Just received it and am having fun learning the controls.

Que pasada compañero-Como dominas el vuelo. Increible !! Me comprado uno, a ver si lo recibo os lo enseño.
I've been entertaining the thought of buying this same quadcopter as I've never done it before but with practice it looks like a nice video toy for novices. It flew much higher than I expected and it looks fairly easy to conquer. Thanks for giving us the instructional.
Sehr gut geflogen.
Auch die Videoqualität ist überzeugend.
Toll.
Greetings from Germany
I have one of these one of the best products I've gotten...very versatile and worth the money.
In your description you said the manufacturers were lying about the HD video. 720p is still HD it's just not full 1080p HD.
impressive flying! lands directly into the car! wow!
I bought one of these to train on and I got to the point were I could control this perfectly!! But yes it is a very good trainer!!!! I still have fun flying it every now and then! I saw Syma has the new X8 out and I might get one! Camera is ok for what it is. The Syma does record sound also but the motors drown out everything!

Excellent demonstration! I'll use this example to try my X5C drone...
Thank you brother. Mine will be here Wednesday!
Thanks for an excellent review!
I bought this for myself and my son as our first Quad, and your video helped me make the selection!
Did you have trouble adjusting it fly straight.
Looks neat. I was about to buy it for a present but it is really popular and backordered.
I've watched tons of your videos and just waiting for a review of the X5C. This was my first quad and I really beat this thing up and it's still flying. Granted I disconnected the some of the lights and even modified the antenna in the quad and controller for greater range. Man keep up the great work.

Great review! I ordered one. Looking forward to it.
i just got a Syma X5C Quadcopter and its great fun for first time flyers
i recommend this to anyone..:)
Nice review. one question. Is it possible to fix a Go Pro or any action camera for this quadcopter ?
Charan Gurupura yes you can but a small cam not to heavy
Amazing skills flying this!! You must be a pilot!
Thanks for this beautiful and great Review .
Great test.
Do you think i can adapt a Gopro in this Drone instead of its Camera ???
or it can´t filt it
you would help me so much.
I don't think so, the drone is extremely light apparently, and as it is quite cheap it may not be able to take off and stuff with the extra weight
oh, but i found a video in wich someone did it. Of cours it looked too much heavy but the drone got to flited ;). Thanks for answer.
Beto Palacios Best bet for action camera for low cost grab the X8C, much larger quad and more powerful.
I got mine a few weeks back and one of the motors failed pretty quickly. I am now awaiting replacement parts from the seller. Pretty sure I bumped in a defective one though, or it could be that the lubricant I used when it started acting up killed it?
Regardless I managed to fly this even in moderate winds (even though I had to keep pushing into the wind all the time).

Looks pretty good, the price really worth it, I'll get one
Hey, I'm a big fan of yours and I was wondering what quads you recommend that have a better camera then the Syma but still at a cheap price?
I jut bought one of these but with the FPV camera. If I live long enough maybe some day I'll be able to fly it half as well as you demonstrated here. Nicely none!
+Martin Wibert You can say that again. I'm in the same boat.
Hey can you please show a review of the flyers bay phantom 2 plus drone with VGA camera
Can you give me any flying tips? Like Trimming should I do it indoor or outdoor which is better? also is there a way to hover without it dropping altitude or gaining altitude? it seems hard to keep at a stable level? Thank you...
Hi, great video and I've subscribed to your channel, "but", have to disagree with you putting the picture quality in the 'cons' at the end of the video, personally, for the price and the given it's only a 2mp camera I think it produces decent enough results, can't wait for mine (my first) to arrive, thanks.
Please give me an exercises for circles, i want fly like you, realy awesome and excelent fliyng...
Thanks for this, followed link from a seller. Very instructional, looks like a great starter quad copter. Can't wait to payday to order one.
really nice! I think i´m going to buy this one!
hello! good night
very good your video, I would like to know how do to do these maneuvers with Syma x5C, as I am finding it very difficult to drive, is there any technique that I may be applying?
Good Video, which camera you used to record while flying GoPro?
Just opened the package of my new Syma X5S-1 ....very much a rookie flyer .. trying to learn how to keep it from banging into my walls .. going to try to take it to the park this weekend .. any advice for a new subscriber newbie?

+Aussie View
If you have a cell phone with a video camera....just record the section you want from the RUclips video !
Thank you mate. Will do.
Thanks for the brilliant review, I'll be getting one of these. :)
Hey Ali I'm a big fan and love what u do and hopefully I can get as good as u In the future. I had a question what would u say is the best toy grade quad for a intermediate pilot?
Great review alishanmao . I had already bought this on sale locally (
I like your van
ive had some reviews of x5c 1 and some say after a week the propeller wasnt working anymore? what could be the cost of that to happen? and another question is when you get the box, do you have to install the propeller or it goes with it when its already inside the box?
The motors suck. They burn out after a week or so. The propellers come installed, you just put the guards on.
Muito bom, você faz ótimos vídeos, parabéns !!
Got mine coming to tomorrow....I hope!
Did it arrive?
Sebastian Bodine It did :) Wish I had gone for the XC5-1 though, not stable in the wind.
thedarkness97 The s5c-1 sucks in wind too, I own that quad and was thinking I wish I had the original rather than the 1
can u explain how to change from beginner to faster and how to do flips u just said press a few buttons?
Its looks very easy when you know how to do it;-) i didnt know that its possible todo flips with the camera attached, how do you do that?
Jabar Press the button on the right side and move the aileron or elevator stick in the direction you want to flip, it will do the rest itself
ali have you ever flown the jjrc h8c quad. I was wondering if you have do you have a video or whats your thoughts of that particular quad
which one would I buy eachine e50 or this one?
Not bad for the money brother! Good video
Great Review there Handsome guy ! lol
I just went and bought 2 for Christmas Presents !
Nice job !
Great video. I really enjoyed that. Thank you :)
You should takeceverything off like the prop guards and the
Landing and the camera and it flys really sporty
Alianshamao, it's worth buying one of these, he's really good?
thanks for information about the camera. i didnt know that thanks! like!
Can we install a FPV into syma x5c ? if yes pls let me know how exactly
Thanks for The good information
Make more videos like this
The cam is 1280x720p which is "Standard HD". Full HD is 1920x1080p. It gives surprisingly good footage for a $60 drone camera.
As Sam said above, it's the format that defines flavors of HD. The video can be HD but still be crappy because of a poor quality lens, etc.. HD = High Definition (no of pixels), not High Quality.
Well, its better that the UDI U818A's cam.
dscinaz also the low speed of recording data matters - it is 16 Mbps for the X5C-1 on-board stock camera whilst on popular consumer cameras like GH2 it is 24+ Mbps.
I bought with hd camera for 50 USD full set
hey Ali why don't you review a 3dr solo drone
I did my post get a drone Syma X5C only the problem that can not blaspheme the start straight up is where the error could be in the Drone
how long does it take to charge
Hello I just got this and cannot wait to fly it, have to find some place as I live in Bangkok! I already ordered a extra battery! Nice video!
+William Arthur
Don't fly it mover any Klongs until you get good !
Great Flying.
I got the exact same one but mine doesn't do tricks when the camera is mounted on it, it's a little too light but it's good for a beginner like me.
Nice ending.
I just got that one I see you real know how to fly that hope I can fly that good to
My self built quadrocopter is also flying very stable ... I like more the self built helis
you hold the button for pictures and do it fast and hit the right rudder in which way
Where did you purchase this item? Thanks
Would this carry a GoPro?
wildhogget69 i seen another vid where some one put one on it
Dan Everitt get a syma x8 for gopro carrying.
thx I have one my bro and I love it its so fun to use and play with
I think that is the syma x5c-1 because writing on the quad is thicker than on the syma x5c.
Wow, are good at flying that thing. I don't understand how it's possible to control it when you fly in a circle like that. When you go straight its push left to go left, right to go right, but how the heck do you do circle? I'm an old guy who never played with this sort of thing. Got one on order.
***** No, what you explained is called Headless mode, there is another control called yaw, it turns the quad
it's all about practice
What do the still photos from this copter look like? Have you posted any stills or videos from the copter itself?
can we mount phone on remote?
is the Drone the upgrade version x5c-1?
+José Campos yes it is
I've done the antennae mods yet still loose signal after 20-30' and not happy! Any tips on what could be wrong?
I got one of these and was inspired by your video. I live in Richmond CA. Just powered it up. Which mode would be the best to start? the manual talks about modes 1 & 2.

can it fly higher?
Chris and Joss if you do it richt it can go to about 70-100m
How long range have the transmitter?
How many feets/meters?
Supposed to be about 30m
(nice flipping)
+Jonas Qvist
I saw another review said 80 meters
+Screww Googlle there is videos of people reaching 120 on stock and 150 with transmitter adjustments
your quad camera pic quality is quite good actually.. mine is worse. May be they shipped you with better camera
Cool video
just got mine its really great for the money
Nice entry level quad. (-;
nice video! i hope i can control mines ! like you do ! amazing how you do it !
Very well done, Thank you!
How can i turn the quadcopter, around in 360º, please help :) thanks in advance
Using the throttle stick just pull it to one side to get 360 yawns!
Thanks :D
What does Alishanmao do after the test review put the Quadcopter on eBay or give to Arish?
valhala56 piling them up for Arish and Haadi :D They will need these to learn, crash, and learn and crash and learn :D
I saw them on ebay for less than 60 euros and I thought they would be really junk.... but it actually looks like a fun toy
