Syma X8SW

Advantages: Flies fast 2 control modes Costs cheap There is a camera There is a calibration Built-in trick button Built-in parking button Survivable Spare blades included Discharge indication on the drone

Disadvantages: There is no instruction in Russian It is blown away by the slightest wind FPV is so-so

Comment: I bought it for fun at the dacha, then I realized that I needed to take something more serious because it was unrealistic to carry me away. For your money, the drone is a super duper, both as a toy and as an apparatus for training before buying expensive equipment. Children are thrilled with looping tricks in all four directions (the button only works in pro mode). When I found instructions in Russian on the Internet, a bunch of drone capabilities immediately opened up: calibration and tricks and modes and photo-video without a connected smartphone. While studying, he flew on it into fences, into a house, into a bathhouse, into a gazebo and into my forehead. The native blades still stand - although they are shabby, they hold on. In this case, the kit contains 4 more spare ones. The camera may not be so hot, but I didn't expect anything from it. Transfer by FPV is so-so, but writes to a USB flash drive without brakes. Personally, my opinion is the perfect toy for five thousand rubles. Any man without experience in piloting drones from such a gift will write with boiling water.

Advantages: Price. Probably this is the cheapest option of those that with a camera supporting broadcast I have no experience. This is my first drone. Flew half an hour. First in life. Management is not difficult. The helicopter is more difficult to control. More or less keeps itself in the air. But it is still shifting. Roofing felts need to be calibrated, roofing felts for that kind of money and it cannot be otherwise. The camera shows fine for the money. I didn't take a photo. And the live broadcast to the smartphone works, which is very pleasing. You don't need any settings for this.In general, a great option as a toy !!! Learn to fly and go to a serious model or quit this business

Disadvantages: Does not hang in place. All the time it floats a little. And down the wind and just on my own

Comment:

Advantages: My first quadcopter. In order to learn how to manage - that's it! If you are just learning, then you can't do without accidents. And crashed into a tree, and into a pole, and into a metal fence! Excellent color resistance. Despite the fact that it was an accident, since I am very careful. You will understand that you did the right thing, that you did not start learning on expensive models. The battery lasts for 15-20 minutes. It is advisable to lubricate the gears with gear grease (thick), then the load on the motors will decrease. If you want to learn quickly, search for management exercises on YouTube. I learned first to control "straight", then "mirror", "to the right", "to the left". And now I'm practicing "airplane" flights. Since I want to switch to fpv. A huge plus - if it loses connection, it stops and begins to slowly decrease until the connection with the remote control is restored!

Disadvantages: The camera is about nothing, but for the money it is not a drawback. It is removable, you can hang an action camera. But there is no point in buying an action camera, since it is very low and flies not far. Only 50-70 meters. Unstable to wind. It is advisable to drive in the absence of wind, or if the wind is small.

Comment: After 2 weeks of flight, I already want something more serious. I'm looking closely at the Hubsan H501S-S.

Advantages: Inexpensive, maneuverable, the camera is more or less normal, a 4gb memory card is included in the package.

Disadvantages: It blows a lot downwind, I recommend registering it right away, I registered it on uarveg.ru It took 5-7 minutes

Comment: A good durable copter, learning to fly is not hard, you can easily learn in 30-40 minutes, I also recommend buying a second battery so that you can fly longer

Advantages: Quite nimble in double revs

Disadvantages: FPV not FPV

Comment: I bought here for 7168, I took spare batteries on the famous Chinese website of Uncle Ali. This is my second drone after the indoor one, H8 mini, so there is practically no normal flying experience. I took this model with an FPV camera, thinking that you can only fly around the camera, but this is not at all the case, the delays are wild, there is no practical benefit from it. The camera can save photo video both to a USB flash drive and to a phone. The resolution is 1280x720 quality with full angle. So it is better to look at other syma x8 without fpv, if they are cheaper in cost, and already attach either a normal fpv or a regular action camera to them. The flight range is not great, first the signal from the camera is lost, and then the signal from the remote control itself, be careful

Advantages: Remote control and camera

Disadvantages: if you crash somewhere for the first time you have to trim

Comment: I bought myself in February of this year, it was under repair 1 time, a friend launched it on a football box and crashed into a fence.After that I had to trim the schyas, I still fly on it

Advantages: The price is one of the lowest for this class of devices. Quite good build quality.Availability of spare parts available. Easy to manage.

Disadvantages: Small battery capacity, you need to purchase a couple of spare ones. Too light for flying in windy weather, immediately blows away and loses touch. The loss of communication occurs quite quickly, at my height of 15 meters, in calm weather, I blinked the LEDs and flew home to China. FPS is just one name.

Comment: A good entry-level device. Bought as a gift for a child. Fell many times, but did not break, high-quality plastic.

Advantages: Large quadcopter, with the ability to hover and with the ability to install an action camera (any)

Disadvantages: Completely symmetrical. Including in the coloring. At night, you can navigate by the lights (red in front, green in the back) In the daytime, if you started without a camera, it is generally not clear where in front, where is the back, where is the side. As a revision, I wound red electrical tape on the legs and two strips on the front horns. It has become much easier. Sailability, but this is natural when you buy a quadrocopter of 0.5 square meters. for 4 thousand rubles. Not noticeable in light wind. If more or less tangible, it blows away.

Comment: I bought my sister (16 years old). I consulted with the sellers - they said that up to 4500 the best option for our requirements (large, with a separate camera, with the possibility of buying spare parts to fly for a long time). As a result, without a camera, it stays in the air for about 20 minutes with moderate control (fly there, now here, hang here, make a couple of flips on the move. Sit down. Take off). My opinion is that of a beginner. But I liked the toy. And most importantly, my sister is very happy. Every time he goes for a walk he takes with him.

Advantages: - Large and, accordingly, carrying capacity - freely pulls the action camera - Speed ​​and maneuverability at second speed - Altitude hold and auto takeoff and landing - Easy and sensitive control - Quick release legs and protection - Durability. I fell a lot and still works.

Disadvantages: - Headless mode - All 4 attempts to fly in this mode ended in loss of control and crashes (left starts to lead to the right, backwards forward). Once I almost flew away like that, but I managed to turn off this mode. - At first speed, very weak wind resistance - Large and as a result, for example, you can't put in a backpack - The quality of a standard camera is nothing. In this case, if you did not click to end the video, then it is not saved.

Comment: In general, for such a price, this is an ideal option to learn how to control and understand whether you need a quadrocopter. This is my first quadcopter. There was no experience. At the same time, I read the instructions and immediately flew. The controls are quite simple. For beginners, I recommend to carry out launches on the street immediately at second speed even in low winds, because in the first, even with a relatively light wind, it obeys poorly. Considering that you still don't know how to manage, you stand in a stupor and don't know what to do, while the copter flies away in the wind. Holds height + - half a meter. Horizontal correction is usually always needed due to the wind. Size and virtue and flaw. The disadvantage in the sense that you can't fly at home, and in the yard where people and everything are crammed with cars, this is problematic. It is also inconvenient to carry it to the nearest park or forest plantation. Accordingly, the range of flights for me is limited to trips to nature, a summer residence and, as a consequence, a small flying time and a long progression of control skills. As a result, after a few months I can just fly like I can, but here's how to do it for example, and also take something off, problems begin. To improve management skills, the other day I took syma x21w (as if for a child :-)). As it turned out, 8-15 minutes of battery life is quite enough for playing, but not enough if you learn to control, so I'm waiting for another 1. I did not experience the range, but I flew 100 meters without problems.

Advantages: Easy to manage

Disadvantages: Lightweight, loses control in strong winds
