    SYMA X5C 4 Channel 2.4GHz RC Explorers Quad Copter w/ Camera

    • Good flight is all about balance and small movements until you gain confidence and control
    • The low makes the copter not move as fast, the controls gentler, perfect for close quarters or slower flying, and for learning to control the copter
    • The SD sim card on the drone for recording holds up to 8 gb which is fair, but it's complicated at first to understand how to actually record and take video with having a steady hand to do so without it taking off into space, losing control and it flying away into in my case a wild hillside.
    • Good drone for the price hard to handle very touchy control but still fun
    • It is really fun until it is gone :(the control is not difficult after a few tries.
    • This is very light and gusts of wind will ruin your accuracy when controlling it
    • It went too high in a very short period of time and I lost control of the drone
    • I still have a little time on the return period and will most likely be returning this in favor of something with more flying time and better control.
    • It's very fun to fly at night, but control gets more difficult as the battery wears down.
    • This product is getting a 2 star, only because the drones battery doesn't last but 3-6 minutes, plus control balancing does not work.
    • The controls were very easy to work and calibration was easy
    • Many times while getting it up into the air it would take off and I would lose control of it having to go chase it down once it crashed.
    • Excellent control, exceed the expectations.
    • great quad until it lost control and crashed into a tree
    • Of course I lost control of it several times - but it held up through the crashes and sand
    • Only one speed - full throttle - took off like a rocket and proceed to get stuck in the nearest tree --- absolutely no (none, nada) control over the power
    • It's extremely easy to lose control with this one.
    • The controls seem easy to use and the machine is very steady & balanced.
    • Wish it had better control but it's ok pic not that good
    • For the price it is okay but don't expect to have this drone long and if your reading this presently I would suggest spending more and making sure you have one that has better controls.
    • The controls are fairly easy to use and you can feel comfortable in the air after a solid 30 mins of practice
    • On first flight, took off and could never gain control with any of the remote controls
    • Only one speed - full throttle - took off like a rocket and proceed to get stuck in the nearest tree --- absolutely no (none, nada) control over the power
    • The controls are very easy to learn and the trimming is also easy to do for fine tuning
    • It has great control and stability for the price.
    • The controls are so smooth and it's very stable and the props have good power
    • Had to return it, remote control didn’t work
    • I just wish it would have better control range
    • The controls are responsive and easy to use, although the trim buttons don't seem to do much
    • Basically you lose all control for a moment or permanently
    • The connection between the transmitter/ controller was not very accurate and one could very quickly lose control through either wind or going out of signal range.
    • then eventually I lost control of it
    • It is very easy to pick up and learn to fly and after a few flights I felt very comfortable controlling
    • Once it gets a little rotated, right control can mean left, directly into the branches of a hungry tree
    • The remote control throttle the next day
    • very poor control.
    • Wind will catch it and you lose control if to high and there is a breeze.
    • Control is really good once you get the hang of it.
    • One time we accidentally lost control it fell on top of an apartment building across the street from the field, its kinda
    • Works great, controls are pretty intuitive, not the easiest to control, but at this price point, who can complain?
    • The controls are touchy but its pretty easy to fly and the video quality is pretty good for the price
    • but it seems to have much better control than some of the other drones
    • If you want a starter quad, this is the one to get.pros: excellent flight controls, low and high settings for indoor precision or outdoor agility, easy to manage engine guards and camera.
    • The controls are very sensitive and on high my son pressed lightly and the thing shot upward and off behind some trees
    • It has throttle control like a normal R/C does.
    • Pro-tip: work with it indoors with small corrections to master the controls first, and then take it outdoors
    • Poor controls, as soon as my son sent it up the first time that was it, now it's lost
    • Good control and fairly responsive
    • Works great, controls are pretty intuitive, not the easiest to control, but at this price point, who can complain?
    • more than 100m away, but there was some serious bum clenching, because if you lose control at that range, your only real hope is to get it to the ground in one piece
    • Ended up returning it as the remote control was broken out of the box.
    • The controls are touchy but its pretty easy to fly and the video quality is pretty good for the price
    • Drone started out fine but controls went haywire and never corrected, even after multiple resets.
    • For the 16 minutes I got to fly it before I lost control and it flew away
    • n’t go wrong for first time Newbies
