This is the only video that actually tells me the buttons on the bottom of the controller are fake.Thank you so much you taught me everything about this drone.

[@xamitz58]

What an awesome video. Start to finish GREAT review.

[@anamariaorozco9626]

You are good! Best review I have found on youtube about a drone. You are very through and covered all aspects in detail. You should do more...thanks for making this video

[@Wlrdzz]

AnaMaria Orozco yes nice review he covers everything

[@chicago_beats]

This drone is fire! Barely no lag while it's more expensive drones that can't even hold a signal and they'll have a better resolution. This isnt bad and we can edit videos these days so that's a plus

[@thekingsilverado3266]

That might be the case but in my case I bought this drone myself thinking it would be better. What I believe is the problem is I got the CRAPPY WHITE controller with mine and it flies diff than my sons flies with the black controller. For one I get about the same flight time but as the battery wears down in mine I lose alotta control doesn't matter the distance. My sons flies much better as his battery winds down. We have done enough flights now to know if you get an X5sw-V3 with the white controller you get less stable flight time and less range all around as well. My sons drone is good out to about 600ft. Mine has an operating range of about 450 ft... How I know that is the flying field we use I helped build on land my buddy owns. There is civil war era cemetery attached to the back side of the property so he got the township to go with his wishes of declaring it historical hallowed ground and he gets severe tax breaks to keep the land undeveloped. So when I was in my 30's we mapped it out found remains of the old hotel and house as well as artifacts. So we mapped it surveyed it and created our flying club too back then so therefore I can accurately measure flight distances because several years ago we marked the distances when these drones came out and the RTF planes ect. It is nice to be able to judge distances like that. In the fall we set up an archery range closer to his house and people come from all over to shoot their bows and fly their drones. We have some fun weekends here because of his land.

[@YoungSarabia]

Awesome video Jay! Definitely thinking of buying one!

[@mirajahmed6990]

Good video Jay. Keep up the good work!!!

[@felionrobinson698]

Thank you to the person in the comments who said out aluminum foil on the camera tail piece. It really worked you've saved the day

[@brooklynzone1769]

What does the album foil do

[@kilkennyvfx]

Thank you for this you did it so well and explained it really well good job sub earned

[@tanrverdiemre]

Thank you for your best review 👍🏻 this very nice to learn about Syma x5sw

[@brooklynzone1769]

Great class here

[@dumindumendis]

It is a really cool drone man.it is cheaper than I thought and I really bought it.

[@pickle_head363]

I got one for Xmas and this video helped me so much thank you. Well done content

[@-juliusdahl-9466]

Rachel Schekall lol me too!

[@jaredthomas8454]

Rachel Schekall since you have one can you answer this question? Does it hover well or have altitude lock?

[@pickle_head363]

Jared Thomas it hovers quit well if you know how to control it. I don't think it has altitude lock, maybe it does I just maybe haven't found it yet.

[@TheGoat-sv6sw]

wouldn't hurt to say Christmas geez

[@dal_riata_music]

Very informative vid, bud. Thanks!

[@osamabinladen3425]

best video i could find helped me purchase drone

[@brooklynzone1769]

I have two for right now

[@AzamBading]

Hello, admin...how is the correct step to start flying the Syma X5SW, turn on the drone first or the remote control first. Is there any effect if I start with the wrong step? TQ in advance.

[@janemate2255]

I just purchased one from eBay for $12. I'm not a tech savvy girl so this will be fine for me. Can't wait to get it in the mail. Thanks for the video, very informative 👍

[@kesy7084]

$12

[@syprince6643]

Like the tune on the video.

[@luisVargas-ux9qj]

Brother, you made best video about review ever, thanks

[@joglo112]

Very informative video! Just purchased the exact same white Syma X5SW Quadcopter for my son's Christmas gift for $68. I also recommend buying a set of additional batteries. I got a kit that includes a set of 5 batteries, extra blades, blade guards and extra charger for only $20.

[@stevencork1652]

great video i just bought a syma quadcopter and this will be very good to view this video to get a the best skills for me

[@thegooch7206]

Ok here's a little input about this Drone, You can update the Antenna on the unit, handheld set and camera so you can get longer flight range and still record. You can also update to a 1200mAh battery to get longer flight time. Remember all these unit have after market components.

[@thegooch7206]

Clorox Bleach You can take the antenna off of a old wifi inverter and solder it to the old antenna connections, giving you longer range.

[@frosto9074]

Clorox Bleach I see you on every video!

[@cloroxbleach7470]

Mohsin Malik And me!

[@robertimmanuel577]

Update the antenna?

I love the shape of it

[@TheLifeOfGary]

I just got this done, and my camera is showing as a red image on my phone's screen rather than normal colours! Any help at all, please?

[@stuntbros869]

thank you for the video it made me like the drone

[@Jamespennington71]

I still have one of these and it's 2023! It's a great beginner drone for my step son to learn on. FWI, get rid of the prop guards! It causes it to get hung up on things. I spent an hour throwing my shoe up into tree to get it back once. I think the guards must be for the user's safety and not to protect the props. The props don't seem to be very fragile. It's been crashed, and dropped quite a LOT, and I still have all of the spare prop blades they send because nothing broke yet. I think I have gotten my 60$ worth of fun with this drone.

[@tptask9925]

Thank you it was really helpful i can now know how to turn on my camera

[@justincurless49]

I have an X5SW Drone and Made Mine Hover like the X5HW Drone and it's a lot of fun to Fly and shoot Photos with it

[@a2b613]

Thx you helped me a lot I was about to take it back because i could not find the battery

[@quzpa8105]

16:01 i've seen what it looks like in the 90s camera

[@Alessandro_3840]

Finallyyy i was waiting for this video for months!

[@tarrencebrooks5004]

Great review

[@thebunkreport]

That drone is pretty nice for $50. I'm getting mine tomorrow morning!

[@somwrtlftur2367]

Thanks, the video looks great.

[@khanshuman]

My son has one. It has a few problems with it. For example, it would sway to the front or the back or the left. It still does that when he trims it or calibrates it. How should I fix it?

[@cruikshank]

Great full review. Was going to buy one used of Marketplace for $25. I’ll save my money for another DJI battery. Didn’t know how old it was. Comes with 4 batteries, probably not much life left in them.

[@JMTXLT]

Unboxing starts at: 5:00

[@damie6118]

YOU'RE. A. GOD.

[@millimbg7410]

Bro saved my life😭

[@assmane999]

Just played with mine for the first time and had a lot of fun with it. Within the range, the control is pretty much perfect and I was able to land smoothly every time. I will say what most people say about it: if you don't care about the quality of the footage that much, and you want to have a reasonably-priced, fun drone to get into this hobby, then it's worth it. I am disappointed by the very short charge-span though. A 90 minute charge for 7 minutes of play time, is not good, but for the price, that's probably the best you'll get right now. Is it possible to buy the batteries separateley, so you can buy like 10 and just charge them all up and get an hour of fly time on one go?

[@istvanmikola6002]

assmane999 Hey man, yes that's possible! I got them on Aliexpress but you can look on eBay and other stuff for them. They also sell a charger that can charger 5 batteries at a time

[@marvinyaharper1736]

assmane999 what app is used to download?

[@rockfoster9870]

Great video!

[@betrinastitt2914]

like your music!

[@rafmigviajerosvlogs7789]

I do have a problem , everything it's ok till the point when I try to fly it. at take off it will go left mo matter what else I do press .. asi solutions for that please let me know. Thanks in advance.

[@john123456889]

Oh boy. I flew mine today over a ton of houses and the signal went. The quad climbed and climbed until the wind eventually took it and it drifted away into the unknown. No doubt it landed in somebody's yard. Oh well, I managed to capture it all on video so it's not such a loss

[@avatarstar2128]

where will it get and what should we ask them and what is cost camera can rotate right left up down camera all angles without rotating drone

[@klmenepihc2653]

thenks

[@thegoldenminecarttgm2582]

Dude Your Explanation Was So Great I Really Understand Every Detail Of The Drone. The Wifi FPV Is Really Hard For Me To Understand How It Works When I Saw Your Video I Really Understand How It Works. So Thank You Very Much Dude Thank For Uploading This Video! :D For That I Subscribe To Your Channel To Support You In Your Up Coming Journey! :D

[@Lak3baby]

// The Golden Minecart // TGM // -ikr he is so helpful

[@AugustTheStag]

Why did you capitalize every word?

[@thomasdillard7602]

love your vidios

[@Fsilva0413]

The left top button on the remote when I press it on the screen it reads high and low does that mean the drone will fly lower....I used it went super high lost control of it and it flew directly into woods lost the damn thing my son was mad. But I get a second chance now I'm expecting another one soon please video on more functions of the control like when and how to balance it

[@hezecut7342]

If you have this and your getting good at it. Take off the prop gaurds. All they to is carry wind and add weight. It also reduces the battery life.

[@jcpierce702]

Nice review, i had the exact same findings in flying my x5sw. Definitely a decent entry level quad...less wind is more fun for this one...I chose not to fly with the camera so far and am getting just over 10min of flight time.

[@joshuaatkinson5625]

awsome drone

[@zmlchannel286]

I recommend getting this model in black because it's easier to see in the sky

[@ZekePolarisBSH]

+Z.M.L Channel I thought I lost mines cause it is white... LMFAO!!!!!!

[@Emran_77]

ZML Channel i thought the same Lol :D

[@Lak3baby]

Zeke Polaris lol

[@bmt6031]

ZML Channel but it harder to see in longrass and trees ;)

[@socialreject8566]

ZML Channel I can't get mine to take off. It connects but I can only get the blades spinning.

[@thekingsilverado3266]

Can somebody explain to me the 2 diff in my X5SW that I see. For one I have a totally diff controller a crappy white controller. Also my camera does not have a chrome bezel nor is the antenna extended like on your drone in the video. All my camera has is a green wire out the back side of it. Also I only got one battery with my drone. The ad said it came with 2 batteries & the on the box it does only have one battery listed.

[@loganjohnson7033]

I have the X5SC -1. Can i buy the wifi camera alone and connect it to my model? or is it only for this model?

[@annec.zanoni3858]

PRO MAN BRO

[@UCSYvtb8yINUHmrg6xIn]

Why does your discription say it will only go about 50 meters but on amazon it says 100 meters? For far can it actually go? Also could I put a gopro on it?

[@amandaraehosch5541]

is it possible to pair the fpv cam to a tablet or ipad instead of a phone...or only phones.?

[@JHEROLD42]

nice reviews.. keep it up

[@ziadelghoul3373]

so if you don't use FPV, what will be the fly range of X5SW?

[@khalidali-wj9tl]

Good video keep it up man

[@FabricPaperAndBeads]

Please may I ask what camera you use to film your videos? Your video resolution is awesome! thank you, Brenda

[@raaas8021]

I am going to buy this tommarow

[@z3repasi]

what if you take it too far (until the limit)?? does it auto launch or it does not keep going?

[@RamonAlbertoDiazAbreu]

Hello I've gotten one of this and it has a little problem, when it's flying it tends to go backwards, in fact when I try to make it go forward it move very slow compare to when it flies backwards or even when it's suppose to be stable is going backwards. Do you know any way to adjust this? Thanks

[@joani2732]

I believe there is those small button for trimming/adjusting in the 2.4 transmitter control so if it's going back trim to front or if it going left trim right. good luck.

[@josh2046]

Love your channel.. Any give always soon??

[@Et_3]

great vid

[@MikeBikerton]

Hi what resolution is the camera and does it save the footage/photos to an SD card or something??

[@Lil_Valor]

I had one exactly like that but didn't have a live camera option so the drone got quite boring
