What Do You Think Is The Best Cheap WiFi FPV Quadcopter Under 30$ ?
Nice review 101
Syma continues to put out “uninspiring” offerings. About the only Syma I can recommend is the original non-AH X5C-1, which had a far better camera than this one. I would think that, at some point, due to diminishing market share, they would change their design strategy .. I won’t hold my breath. On top of its completely lack-luster performance and features, the X15W is not cheap at $60 (I think you can still get X5C-1 BNFs for $23 … team that up with a $14 X8 TX and you’d have something). Kind of sad to see Syma sticking with proprietary connectors, 0.3mp cameras and wi-fi quads that will only give you a decent picture for 50-60 feet. Oh well, perhaps they will look at MJX’s recent successful series of “Bugs” quadcopters and try to up their game. Hope that you were able to help the dogs. They may be “Chipped”, in which case, any ‘animal control officer’ should have a reading device to find out who the owner is. Cheers.
Great video, as always, and I’m so glad you care about the doggies, too! I hope they get reunited with their people…
Little soldering will take care of that proprietary connector…
Muito legal ????
quad101, since seeing dogs, want to ask you a question about your desert area, i live in florida for 40yrs, cant hack this stiffeling humidity any more,i have animals, dogs,cats,horses, am looking to move to s.w. desert region, do you encounter venomus snakes often playing out there in the wild like you do, are pets and livestock bites a common occurance or am i over thinking the situation?i see you out there parked in the middle of nowhere, flying a quad, watching the sky, not the ground, as you walk about wearing shorts, i see your wife out walking her dog, been thinking ill equipt my horses with leather leggings from the knee down to the hoof when riding, i plan to buy a remote property, hate noisey neighbors, thanks for any comments you have,,
Always a great review! Like your T-shirt!

My grandmother always used to say that if you can’t say anything nice – then don’t say anything at all. Which applies to just about every offering from Syma nowadays.
Clear video on it!

thank you for the info, sounds like what i was expecting, i have a 18month australian cattle dog, way curious about anything that will run so she can chase, going to have to keep her out of trouble somehow, mabey training with a rubber snake and vibrate/shock collar, she goes for it,she gets a little unpleasant tingle she will associate with a snake, better than her suffering a painfull death, be carefull out there, really fun watching your videos, its got to be a lot to do,,,
