Syma X5sw - Comments

Conclusions: After a week, it stopped working properly. It will fly great for about 15 seconds and then shut down and drop. You can't contact Syma, because its a Chinese number. They don't respond to emails so this product is cheating you of your money. If you are going to drop $70, then spend it on something reliable.

Conclusions: It was hard to control and my 12 yr old lost interest fast

Conclusions: Received as a gift from my son. Started it up and it was fun for about one minute - stopped responding and took off on its own, GONE! Never was able to recover. Too much money for one minute of fun!

Conclusions: Just got my order, most of it anyway. Missing a few key things: Landing skids and phone clamp. Shipping was quick which was a plus.

Conclusions: Missing parts. Had to return.

Conclusions: It was great at first, but stopped working after a few days. No solutions that worked offered by the company. It seems as if it is a failing circuit board. Very disappointing.

Conclusions: How the hell do you guys seen this item out with 6 pieces missing??? All 4 legs - missing. Screw driver - missing. Clamp for remote control - missing. It was a cool gift until it was opened and now has to be sent back since half the items are missing!

Conclusions: Landing gear is missing from package.

Conclusions: This product came incomplete. Did not include the rotor protector. Impossible to use. Could not be replaced. Don't bother.

Conclusions: Missing parts. Clamp for cont roller missing as well as assembly screwdriver supposed to be included. Appears to be older version in new version box. Stinks, was an Xmas present. Nothing worse than giving a gift to a kid and not being able to play with it, not to mention having them see it go back in a box and go away.

Conclusions: Package did not include a battery but nothing said you need to purchase a battery separately? Appears from previous reviews everyone else received a battery!

Conclusions: The battery was not in the package. Where is the battery?

Conclusions: This drone does not work as described. The drone says it offers "FPV Real-Time." However, there is considerable lag between when the video is taken and when your phone will display the footage, so the only way to fly it is line-of-site. Furthermore, the signal is very weak, and loses the connection easily and often. So if you're purchasing it for this feature, you're wasting your money. It's not bad as a line-of-site mini-drone. It has decent power, range, and responsiveness. But it's supposed to be more than that. Sure, it's cheaper than most FPV drones on the market, but you get what you pay for. Consumers would be better off buying a standard, non-FPV drone that's less expensive, or a drone that's more expensive, but does what it claims it does.

Conclusions: Well I cant say that other reviewers didn't warn me but this thing is junk. Straight out the box it banked left, no matter of correction to the settings or replacement of the blades helped this issue. It may have been just the unit I received but from the other reviews this is highly doubtful. Hope this helps!

Conclusions: Was charged $62 twice for this item and all the parts wasn't even in it. I am now returning this piece of junk. Be careful and check your account to make sure you are not charged over and over again. Check to make sure all parts are included.

Conclusions: This drone flies nice but the camera does not work at all

Conclusions: Cheap should have known better do yourself a favor and buy a better one that will actually work.

Conclusions: Wind bug glitch. made it virtually unusable. Don't believe me? Watch it ar quadcopter 101 on YouTube. Wish I had. I'd be $60 richer.

Conclusions: Ordered 2 of these. Both came with missing landing gear and iphone attachment. If those were included it would get a 4-5 star rating for me.

Conclusions: very cheaply made. When i connected the camera to power, the connector and on/off board broke off into the center of the drone. Overall this drone is very cheaply built. I am returning this device for a refund. I will avoid the product by Syma in the future
