This $55 copy of the Syma X5C-1 quadcopter may be better than the original, with increased range, maneuverability, and FPV! And a great windy day flier as shown in this video. Find it here
Pro's
- Close copy of the X5C-1, but with an upgrade of WiFi FPV. Very good range at about 80 meters for both control range and WiFi FPV video.
- Stable quadcopter. Great beginner's quadcopter.
- Good pitch in high rate. Good windy day flier.
- Has headless mode and one key return! Unfortunately I did not get a chance to demonstrate it in this video.
- Weighs a little over 100 grams. Does NOT require FAA registration.
Con's
- Camera is advertised as 2MP. In reality, the video is only 0.3MP with the video recorded directly to your smartphone via the LW-720P FPV app. The camera's SD card slot is inoperative, and can not record video directly to a memory card.
- The instructions refer to an FPV app that does not work with this quadcopter. The correct app is "LW-720P FPV" and may be found here on Google Play
and on Apple iTunes
