Getting back to my roots, Banggood was kind enough to send the Syma X8HW Wifi FPV for review. The Syma X5C-1 was the first quadcopter I flew and it started me back into RC.

This 350 sized quadcopter has large brushed motors providing plenty of thrust and torque for the 9 inch propellers, a reasonable 1 megapixel WiFi FPV camera with onboard recording, a 2000mah battery and altitude hold.
From box to crash, come along as we put the RTF Syma X8HW through the paces.

Why is there a A1 Blade, B1 Blade, and a B2 Blade, but no A2 blade, is B1 & B2 interchangeable on B turrets?

Hello I really Like Your video we enjoyed. congratulations. the question is, how much time it can carrie a gopro Camera?? . The average time of the battery is eight minutes in my feelings but without camara.Thanks in Advance and congratulations again.
Can you confirm something for me for the Syma X8hw, Will it save to the sd card if you activate the Recording or photo option on the controller, Because When I does that, The drone light flashes, Indicating its recording, But Nothing saves to my sd card, But if I Started the recording or photo on the app, It saves to SD Card AND Phone
can you use the syma go app with the X8HW model?
Can video and pictures be done with the remote transmitter. I do not like WiFi.
I prefer using just the transmitter for record and taking pictures.
When landing, if you pull the throttle all the way down..dose it stop all props and fall out of the sky?
How does the stock camera pair with a SmartPhone? And what kind of range?
Thanks.. Great Review!!
How’s the altitude hold? Does it holds pretty good?
If I added an action camera to the x8hw will it still have fpv
Every time I press the left joystick up, it just goes to one side and turns over.
I have been struggling with this drone to simply get it to hover.
Could I have got a defective drone?
I need to know so I can return it, while it is still under warranty.
This is the first drone I have ever had, and the instructions that came with this drone were very limited. Sometimes, instead of saying “ON” it would say “NO”.
Thank you for putting this video, because I was about to return it. The instructions did not mention about the A & B .propellers.
I am still trying to figure out some of the terms you used, like LVC. I have not been able to get it to stand hovering still, the way I thought I would be able to, but I guess practice makes perfect.
Thank you for this video, because it showed me the possibilities of this drone I just got for my birthday
how about camera quality?
I have got syma x8hw.
When I push the throttle upside little
all the motors working full power.
my tranmitter or receiver is faulty. what do you think that which is faulty.plz help.
Camera can be replaced correct?
great review boss
This was the best review I could find on YouTube, Just earned yourself another sub!
A few questions though.
1.I’m a beginner or maybe a bit above, I had a Hubsan X4-code black edition, and I crashed it and broke it on my 8th flight. I’m planning on upgrading to this, so would you recommend it?
2.If not, any other suggestions, about 3 would help(preferably one’s you’ve already reviewed)
3.The main reason why I kept on crashing the Hubsan was
A.The drone was too small you couldnt even see it after about 30-40 m
B.The drone rotated too much in the air and no matter how much I adjusted the trim it didnt help.
C.Because of that when I tried to bring the drone back to me I couldnt as it did not have headless mode and if i pressed back it moved left and hit a building/tree and ruined it.
4.Considering all this would this drone be the best for me?
5.I live in a residential area, a gated community with overhead cables so the drone needs to be kept upwards of 60-75 feet.Can I manage this?(I’m a beginner)
6.For the above mentioned reasons I think I should use the headless mode, would you recommend it, If so how exactly do I activate it(I didnt understand from the vid)Something about a long press?
7.Also I think its a must for me to use the altitude hold feature, How should I activate it?
8.You mentioned a high and low mode for the drone, I’d prefer to keep it at low, but what is the maximum height for the low mode? and how do I activate it?
9.Whats the maximum height the drone can reach?
10.Seeing other comments about the FPV, could I get a confirmative reply as to how far the FPV signal will last?
11.Estimating how I(a beginner) would fly the drone, how long will the fly time be with the camera? How long without?
12.If I like the whole drone thing, I am planning on buying a DJI Phantom 3 standard edition after this, I wouldnt want to crash a 600 dollar drone.
13.Considering all this would the Syma X8SW be the best beginner drone for me?(already tried smaller)
14.I’m going to buy the drone tomorrow so if not id need a suggestion on another drone or confirmation on this.
Please get back to me soon!
