Flight Experience

The 6-axis Gyro stabilization system makes the helicopter more stable and flexible when flying. One of the best features about a quadcopter this size is that it is wind resistant and can be flown indoors or outdoors.

It comes with a manual and is extremely easy to setup. If you have never flown a drone before, it may be a little tricky getting the hang of it, however, the learning curve is super low. We recommend flying it outdoors for the first time. You can easily get good at flying the drone within 20-30 minutes. You’ll be able to weave and maneuver easily. In addition, you can perform tricks and flip the drone with the touch of one button.

Camera

So the camera… is 2 megapixels. This is a super low resolution at 30 frames per second. Therefore it is not really meant for high quality photos or footage. The resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels with a data rate of 1.5 mbps. In other words, the camera is more “just for fun” as opposed to capturing stunning photography.

Quality and Value

In comparison to the quality of the other drones on the market in the similar price point, the Syma X5C drone ranks at the top of the list. It is made of a durable hard plastic that seems to be able to withstand wind, bumps, and accidental crashes just fine. It’s only 2 lbs in weight, however, it will not break or crack easily. Since it is light, if it falls from a certain height, it will not be very likely that it will be suffer too much damage that way either.
