This micro quadcopter includes altitude hold, FPV, and a 0.3MP camera. Find it here http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_360688.html?lkid=10094820
Pros
– Small and very portable
– Candy apple red!
– FPV real time video viewable via phone app.
– Altitude hold
– Small and lightweight, does not require FAA registration.
Cons
– No controller provided. Entirely controlled via phone app. App is somewhat tedious and difficult to control the quadcopter. For example, to use g sensor control, it’s necessary to keep your thumb on the screen at all times. Auto land function did not seem to operate properly, with quadcopter going into a descending spin when activated.
– Camera is angled downward toward the ground, mostly for selfies. Camera is also low resolution, with recorded video very laggy.
– Wasn’t able to install its prop guards.

Neat review. I don’t like quadcopters that are controlled via phone apps.
Nothing beats the feeling of holding the controller and the sticks in your
hands. Anyway, waiting for more reviews.
I will never buy a model without a controller, that you also can fly it
with a App is fine.
hello again good sir, you already know i love and watch all your videos. I
need your expertise for a moment…. so yesterday i received my first mini
quad the “YX Flyer 668-A4” in the mail. I charged it up and went to take my
first flight and 2 mins in it just drops out of the sky like it was dead.
The controller beeped twice and light began flashing. Id have go pick it
up, rebind it only for it to happen again and again. Havent had 1 flight
not interrupted by this. So i really could use your help fixing the
problem. Any ideas? i took it apart to make sure all wires were making
contact. All these random ass drops are beginning break the little thing.
Please sir it took over a month for gear best to send these out to me. Ive
been trying to get my son one of these things because he want to get into
it like i am now. I was gonna give this one to him to begin learning on it.
I cant afford much as i am a single dad out here in CA where it takes 2
people with 2 jobs to survive pretty much. sorry off topic there.
looking forward to hearing back from you.
THX
first problem: can only be controlled with an app. why do people keep
thinking that a touch screen is the holy grail that can do it all?.
Does anyone know a drone that has a long flight time (preferably over 15
minutes) under £60 i dont care about a camera or any other fancy stuff im
just using it for fun outdoors, i cant seem to find anything which doesn’t
fly over 10 minutes and is cheap…
Square pins for round holes. Very cool little quad.
#quadcopter101 please do a review of a syma x6
