Worked for a day or so then didn’t

I am a huge fan of Syma quads and own this model, the Syma X11 and, the camera version X11C. The Syma X5C (X5C-1 is newer model # from mid 2015) is an amazing beginners/learners quad and even experts love their X5C's. Many quad fliers still give kudo's to their Syma X5C's long after owning other models and sizes. Check-out YouTube: Flyin' Ryan RC or Quadcopter 101. I had some experience with the smaller Syma X11 and am mature in age and although there is a learning curve I was able to become a pretty proficient flyer very quickly. It is very light in weight but it is extremely stable and very durable - it has survived multiple crashes with barely a scratch. Because of the light weight you need to be careful of losing the quad in heavier winds or by flying out of range or too high. The Syma X5C-1 can easily be carried away by the wind so be aware of your surroundings and keep it within sight. The transmitter is bigger, more sensitive and, has better range than the X11 and interestingly can be used to fly your X11 as well. It has a 2MP 720P HD camera that takes pictures or videos. It is not very good quality as should be expected at $60 - this is not a professional videography style quad like a Phantom that costs $500 - many $$thousands!! It comes with a rechargeable 500mAh LiPo battery (fly time approx. 7 minutes/charge time approx. 75 minutes). Like all quadcopters (or multirotors) you need to get multiple batteries. There's nothing worse than having great fun for 7 minutes and then waiting 75+ minutes to charge a battery and then fly again. Multiple batteries are a MUST. On the topic of batteries: many people will get a bigger battery (680mAh +/-) to increase flying time but it is not recommended by the Manufacturer - so do your research online in this regard. You will really enjoy this quad and I highly recommend it.

I've owned this quad for about 7 months and flown it for a total of maybe 50 hours or so. Overall, this is a great value and will provide hours of enjoyment. Some people have mentioned how the wind affects it, and in a 15-mph wind you'll likely have great difficulty controlling it. But I've found that moderate wind makes it more fun in some ways. For its weight, there is a LOT of body. The downside of that is how affected it is by the wind. But the upside of that is that if it ends up in a free-fall for any reason (battery dies, pilot error, hit by EMP wave, etc.) it will likely survive the fall if it lands on grass, trees, etc. It is super easy to fly on "normal" mode... give yourself about 4-5 flights to get the hang of it. On "high" mode it reacts much more drastically and will lean so much it may hit the ground if you're not careful. Camera quality: Rather than simply give my opinion, I'd suggest doing a search for "X5C videos" and evaluate the video quality for yourself. Flight duration: On average, about 7 minutes. And that's using the video camera about half the time. Maximum range: A friend of mine and I tested this on his 500-ft long driveway. I was at the end of the driveway and the quad was still getting a signal back at the house. And no, I haven't done any of the range-boosting modifications. Depending on where you live you *might* pick up some interference from other signals. I've taken it straight up at maximum speed on a calm day for 60 seconds before it lost connection. At that height you can barely see this tiny quad so be careful! =) Speed and Rate-of-climb: I would estimate around 20 mph and about 10 ft/sec. (you'll need to be on "high" mode - top left button toggles that function). Durability: I took this quad about 500 feet high and let it free fall - it landed in the grass completely undamaged. One time my friend crashed it into my house at full throttle and that incident bent one of the propeller blades - I bent it back into place and it's been flying fine. Worst accident I had was when the wind caught it and it hit a neighbor's roof, then fell 2 stories down onto the pavement. That time it cracked a motor housing. I put some glue & tape on it and its performance hasn't been affected. Tips: Once you get the hang of it, take off the propeller guards. And definitely buy at least 4 batteries with a 4-battery charger. As an added bonus, get a USB portable charger (around $15 on Amazon) to charge your batteries while you're in the field flying. Who wants to have to walk back inside to charge batteries? Fly safe!

Fue una excelente compra, cumplió las expectativas y para mi factura me contacté directamente con el proveedor y a la semana me envió amablemente el documento.
