This is my review of the Syma X5C Explorers quadcopter. This quad can take multiple forms, in a way. It has optional prop guards, landing legs, and camera. If you fly with all the accessories, it can get a bit unstable in fast flying, but works well for aerial videography and prop protection. If you trim it down to its lightest form, with no prop guards, landing feet, or camera, it can fly "sporty" quite well, and even do flips. Overall this is a good stable quad, but you have to make sure to fly it in the proper manner for the attachments you have on it.
Enjoy!

I played with this drone once and was sold. I haven't used any other drone to compare it to but this little thing was more than cool enough for me to go out and buy one . If someone wants it as a toy to play around with and film some cool areal shots with no experience flying one i would recommend this drone. A good idea is to purchase some extra batteries if you want to go out and film much.

Hey, Ryan, just watched your review of the Syma X5C and wanted to say thanks for putting together such a professional presentation. I picked one of these up yesterday as an impulse purchase and was able to fly indoors right out of the box (not as well as you, of course, but didn't crash into anything or injure the dogs). I'd just like to add an observation - the X5C owners manual is as much fun to read as the quad is to fly ;-) Again, thank you for taking the time to put together such a helpful review. I look forward to your upcoming reviews & videos. Regards.

Great video thanks. You can mod the prop guards with a hair dryer or hot water, just heat a bit and bend away from the props. Perhaps by removing the cam and extras, you could add a second battery to get more flight time, you know, solder a wire here and there and duct tape the battery in the cam hole. Also, the frame might be drilled (carefully) with holes to lighten it, for those who don't care about looks. Or, it might look cool if the holes were symmetrical and the frame was painted red, or yellow (Swiss cheesecopter). I mean, this thing is begging for experiments.

Not sure why, but youtube keeps deleting my question. For professional aerial videography do you think I could attach a gopro to one of these cheaper models or do you think I would have to get a DJI Phantom with a gimble for good enough stable videos? Thanks
@theimacman
@theimacman 9 жыл бұрын
SchaefStudiosLLC You would definitely need a gimbal for "professional" videos. You would also be much better off with brushless motors. This X5C wouldn't even be able to lift the GoPro. There are a few brushed quads that *could* do it, but you would very quickly burn out their motors by doing that.

Flyin' Ryan RC Well I'm trying it out and it's very difficult (in my office at work!!). I can't make sense of these directions on how to calibrate it. When I give it throttle it seems to want to pull to the left... Do you have another video on calibrating? Thx for any advice :) Even though I'm crashing it into things it's sure making me laugh!
@theimacman
@theimacman 9 жыл бұрын
TheFinnmacool I would suggest trying it outdoors first, since you are a new pilot. Large quads like this create a lot of prop wash and you are probably getting a ton of currents and drafts coming off items indoors, and it takes a lot of pilot skill to correct for that. You'll want to get about 3-4ft off the ground to get out of any prop wash, and you should find the quad to be much more stable at that point. I explain how to recalibrate it at about 3:05 in this video.

Seems I'm too late to try and talk you out of that purchase but I'll rant anyway. The accelerator re-calibration trick that Ryan showed didn't cure or even slightly help the awful directional bias this thing has suffered from since I got it out of the box. Just holding it steady in the air for a few seconds feels like an insurmountable task. This is so frustrating. Am I missing something here? Also, if I may say so myself, the mock d-pad and buttons on the remote are just mindbogglingly retarded. Why in the heavens name are they there? is that supposed to look cool to anyone? What were they smoking?!

Thanks for the video. Just received one, haven't flown it yet. In playing with the battery door I found that you can clip the front prongs in with the door tilted open and that puts the camera about level. You could then use some tape on the door to choose the angle you want. Another option would be to remove the screws and use shims or just some two sided tape to secure it at the angle desired.

I have a few of these, they are a lightweight fun unit with good flight manners (as you said, it's not one for windy days), solidly built (it takes a moderate amount of punishment and keeps going) I strongly suggest this as a first quad for anyone wanting to get into the hobby. it's affordable and great value. There are a few other ones that look almost identical. Obviously there is a reason. As to the range question, it's not stellar on range but I am doing a suggested range mod to try that out. The transmitter has a tiny 4cm antenna inside (forget the pretend one you see outside) and the internal antenna on the quad is also sub par. I'll be posting the results on my blog when i get the tests done. I am going to test it factory, tx modded, and rx modded. My first one of these is entertaining birds in a tall pine tree where 3 windstorms have failed to dislodge it so far.

I've had a Syra X5C for awhile now. More than anything else, it's helped me choose between pursuing more camera-platform-type drones or more sport/race-type drones with future purchases. It takes okay video, but it's definitely more fun as just a play flight drone.

Thank you for a helpful review. I got the cheap version without the camera but was surprised to find it will lift my vivitar action camera so I can do the aerial camera work that I didn't expect.

My god you fly that with so much ease. Bought one tried it first in house wasn't good outcome for painting on wall and quadcopter. But I will keep at it. Practice makes perfect just hope I've got all ten fingers by then.
