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.

It was a birthday gift for our Grandson and he loved it! We charged both batteries (one battery lasts over fifteen minutes) and tomorrow, he's got thirty-plus minutes of fun. This is a very well-made chopper of the present day. The fold-out propellers, light, and propeller guards performed very well and this chopper has a camera for a light-wind day outdoors. Indoors, the wind the four propellers move to stay aloft is plenty and the Chopper did very well right out of the box. Detailed instructions should be adhered to and memorized to get everything out of this bird a young man can.

I bought this cool looking drone to replace my traditional X style drone also by Syma (whose batteries no longer hold a good charge). However this style of helicopter drone pails in comparison when it comes to speed, control, and fly ability. Inside the drone flies really well, with no stray wind to blow it off course; this thing zips around and looks really cool doing it. But outside, (even on a wind free day) this drone struggles to move against even the slightest breeze. Also, “high G” style maneuvers (like a quick turnaround) cause the drone to wobble and lose lift (causing it to fall to the ground). I tried running the Syma app that works with it, but the app wont open and crashes on my iPhone 11 and iPad Air... Would really like to use the camera. I will try one of Syma's other video drope apps and hope for the best. Overall it’s ok and fun when flying indoors or outside if the conditions are perfect. It does look really cool and futuristic, but just doesn’t handle incredibly well if you want to race around a course outside. A classic case of form over function.

I bought this for my teen boys. They liked it well enough. It was easy to use but watch the winds when operating outside the drone is really light in weight and can't maneuver well while wind is blowing. The only thing that is certainly disappointing is the battery and how long the charge last. 10 to 15 mins is really sad. Forget about taking turns. Yes I did read the flight time and how long the battery lasts on a charge and decided to take a chance. After a few times the kids got disheartened since charging takes a few hours. They became disinterested. I purchased this for Christmas and they still fly it just the time is very short. That said the design is different than the usual drones. But if your looking for a bit of fun for a longer time outside. Certainly look to spend more. My kids play with their stunt drones more than this. Actually the charge on the stunt drones lasts longer.

This is not my son's first drone so learning to fly was not an issue. With the two included batteries he can fly for 45 min or more depending on the type of flying he does. He said flying outside is fun but if there is any wind it's not a great experience. He much prefers flying indoors through our house or in a large room like a gym. The app was a bit of a pain to get linked and working. We ended up contacting the seller and had a wonderful experience with their customer service. 5 Stars for the customer service. After connecting with them we learned that we needed to pair the bluetooth before launching the app. It seems like it would be better to launch the app then have the app open a dialogue box to connect the bluetooth, but now that we know it is not a big deal. Overall, this is a fun little drone to play with. This is a toy and that should be kept in mind. If you are looking to actually take photos or video with this for a project you may want to think again. If you are looking for a fun toy that also has video and photos, this may meet your needs.

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 beginner drone, the problem t is that I does not stay stable in the air, even after calibration. Always goes a direction by itself, even when is there is no air pressure. Don’t buy!! Save your money. Battery lasts about 5 minutes each.

I bought this for my brother, he had so much fun with it! Easy to use and he especially loved that it can do stunts and the 1080p recording feature. It has rechargeable batteries and delivery was fast. It was a good buy!
