Bayangtoys X16W Upgrade Altitude Hold Camera Drone Flight Test Review
The low cost brushless quadcopter provides long range, high speed flying, steady altitude control, and is best flown with better cameras such as GoPro. Find it here http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_502960.html?lkid=10250028
Pros
– Low cost brushless quadcopter.
– Long time flier. I consistently get over 13 minutes flight time with it flying aggressively with a camera. If you’re just hovering, expect much greater flight time.
– Very fast quadcopter.
– Motors quite powerful, allowing high speed flight with GoPro style cameras
– Camera mounting point and control plug will accomodate and control many camera mounts and cameras, such as Syma X8 cameras, including X8G.
– Altitude hold control.
– Automatic takeoff and landing control.
– Long range transmitter with range of approximately 300 meters. I flew out to 250 meters in the above video.
Cons
– The WiFi camera that comes with it is very short range and low resolution. Toss it and replace it with something better.
– The X16W upgrade is meant to be a camera quadcopter with the altitude hold control to help steady the aircraft’s flight. Barometer control of the altitude hold feature can cause erratic control in hard high speed turns. If you wish to fly this with improved maneuverability, recommend instead considering the base X16 model without altitude hold.

Hi Quadcopter 101 i found a (i think good) drone the UDI U818A do you
recomend it?
Kinda new to all this quadcopter stuff, How does the GoPro get mounted?
Would I need to buy a special mount?
Thanks for the review, I was wondering whether there is any similar one
with GPS ? Also does it has the headless mode ?
I have the Bayangtoys X16W Upgrade Altitude Hold Camera Drone and I’m
having a issue with it tipping over on take off. And idea what could be
causing this?
Great review as always. Got the Upair and love it. Does the X16 have to be
calibrated?
Great looking quad, and flyer! Thanks again for a great review. :)
The Syma 8XC camera is a P.O.S. also……
Love your videos…
Which quadcopter would you recommend for decent distance and battery life,
GPS, and for video? $250.00 or less
How did you mount the FPV phone holder on the top of your controller? Did
you remove the plastic antenna piece? If so did you have to open the
controller up or did that piece snap out?
Nice Video!
the x16w is the upgraded version or I need to upgrade it?
is there any low batt warning/indicator?
any warning/indicator for distance?
How NOT to treat your x16. hang on to your hats
..
Great presentstion of all you can do with this quad. I am serious deciding
to buy this one or X380. i know its a big difference in price, specialy
with upgrates (gimbal, camera) where i am all new at this. So, i would
realy apreciated if you could give me some advices, like what is better and
easyer (cheaper) to upgrate with decent pic quality. X380 is realy an
expencive beast. Please little help here…links for cameras that suits
X16W would help me a lot.
Thanks again.
