Good price fast shipping all good thanks Tom top

It took me almost two weeks to get this product because I'm not in the states but I finally got it today and I must say it's awesome..I'm really happy with it..no complaints.......yet..not like I'm expecting to make any..

GOOD BIRD. Super fast shipping!

Love it !! Works as expected and delivery was as expected.

Good but motor burnt out after a month. Luckily all you have 2 do is unplug the motor and plug in a new 1

very easy to use

A great starter drone. The camera worked, but is of low quality. It was easy to machine the adapter to hold a gopro camera. Controls took some getting use to...don't expect to be able to easily hold it in one spot, as the light winds effect it greatly. Mine got blown into a large tree on my third flight (I was getting cocky), and it fell 100 feet, hitting branches on the way down. Surprisingly, only one propeller guard broke, and with a little tape it was up and running again.

Good drone, excellent to learn on before you step up to the more expensive ones. The camera is terrible, it takes decent still shots but video jellos horribly. I used a sport cam with it with excellent results...BUT Do NOT use the Wifi on the camera because when it looses connection with your phone it will interfere with the control of the drone as it searches for the signal resulting in a fly away and or crash. All in all this drone is a good value.

Very good for a first drone. Withstood hard landings as well as tree landings!

This drone is perfect for the beginner. As someone new to flying drones, crashing it was a regular occurrence and it takes a beating well. I ordered several parts for this, which I highly recommend for all new flyers. Extra batteries, propellers, legs, and propeller guards will all be beneficial for any beginner. The body has not sustained any damage thus far, but these other parts do not fair as well. Flight is still easily accomplished when the other parts are damaged. The battery lasts anywhere from 7 - 10 minutes based on flying conditions and type of flying done. The camera is a decent camera and provides decent video and photos. That being said, two areas that are in need of improvement are the instructions, as they are very limited, and adding a return to home feature. I recently lost this drone, and this was a forgone conclusion after I had been flying it for a month. The controls and instructions for flying are limited, and determining a problem with the controls is difficult. One example is that on numerous occasions, my drone would get airborne and I was able to control it for a limited amount of time. The main problem was that I never could get it back to my position, or remotely close. I just lost it recently because no matter how I moved the controls, it would never make any change in course to come back toward me. It just kept going away and away and away until it was gone. This is not an expensive drone to replace, but as other reviewers have stated, the controller is more like a toy, than a sophisticated piece of equipment. It looks out of place when compared to the drone. A feature to have the drone return to home is desperately needed for this product. All in all, the drone is great for beginners, it withstands beginner usage, and has a decent camera. The instructions are limited and your best best is to look online for how to fly. This is defineitely worth the price, but be sure to buy the other parts as you wil,need them if you are learning. Be careful with flight as well, since my drone felt like it had a mind of its own on many occasions.

I got this as a "toe dip" into quad flying. I used to fly RC Planes years ago and didn't keep up-to-date. This is definitely a "toy drone" versus some much more high end units. Still a fun way to fly. I would definitely suggest getting the DJI Legs Summitlink® Black Tall Extended Landing Gear for DJI Phantom 1 2 Vision Wide and High  to get some added height. I then did the "chopstick" mod of adding some chop sticks to make the feet wider. This helps in landing and not tipping over. While it is an inexpensive way to get into drone flying I would say this one that REALLY needs to be "flown" and doesn't just simply hover out the box. You will need to adjust trim and pay attention to wind. I know higher end drones have enough intelligence to handle some of those things but this was the perfect entry back into RC flying.

I bought this to learn how to fly a drone before moving on to a more expensive drone. This drone can only be flown in a light wind. This is a good pick for a beginner.

I can't connect my phone with the drone's camera. It supposed to be a WiFi signal coming from the drone but it's not.. So, something is wrong with this, I'll give it back.

arrived yesterday and my schedle has not allowed me time to get it in the Air.

I would recommend this drone as a trainer especially if you plan to invest in a high end drone. It can stand some pretty hard crash landings without major damage but it's range is limited. Repair parts are readily available to keep you in the air until you master your pilot skills. I didn't give it five stars because the camera leaves much to be desired.

I purchased this for my husband and after getting it all put together and charged he took it outside for short flights and it did very well and was easy to handle/control. After charging it again we took it to the sports field near our home and within 30 minutes the wind caught it and it was gone. We've searched and searched with no luck as there is not a go home or gps. We were able to get a signal on it once but not since. I've ordered another and hopefully we will have better luck this time.

Got this for the g/f's stepdad for Christmas. Once he got the hang of it he's had a blast tooling it around. Here's the best part- he crashed it into the canal behind his house. It was totally submerged for maybe 5 minutes. He took the battery out, left it in the sun for a day, plugged it back in and it flew perfectly. I was freak'in amazed.

This Syma X8C Venture Quadcopter with 2MP Wide Angle Camera is easy to fly, very stable, and does well in wind speeds 10mph and below. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is that the camera setup as delivered results in very noisey videos. The gimbal on the camera is just loose enough to cause a lot of "Jello" or shake in the video especially in high speed mode. The manufacturer Syma should add a locking mechanism to the camera gimbal to lock it firmly into the desired angle position to clean up this video "Shake". Fortunately, there is a video on line entitled "I CAN STOP YOUR JELLO ON YOUR SYMA x8c camera" which explains how to fix the problem. The opening at the bottom of the camera is taped and the camera is foamed between the camera and the gimbal. This fix completely removed the video "Jello" in both low and high speed modes of the quadcopter. Pictures of this camera modification are attached. Other than the camera video problem, this is an awesome quadcopter.
