Hi Quadcopter101, I’m looking for a good FPV drone from somewhere to $200
dollars and below. Any suggestions? Thanks
What do you do with your quadcopters and can you make a video showing all
the quads you have. love the vids BTW
love the auto landing ?
I think there’s supposed to be a G version of this new model coming out as
well.
I was hoping after the last x8G models Syma would have corrected the
unintentional motor shutoff issue in their latest release. But I see from
this video Syma has gone even further off course.
king quad(my nickname for you)…..i purchased a syma sky thunder 8500wh
which appears to be exactly like this quad except for the color….extra
batteries appear to be harder to get than a unicorn kiss so i am wondering
if the battery on this quad would fit the 8500wh the 8500 is red and the
x8sw is white but other than that the batteries appear to be the same the
white battery IS available on the syma site…its a bit pricy but i would
buy one just to have an extra….soooooo to make a long
story……………………….even longer….do you think the x8sw
battery will fit my 8500wh?
i absolutely love your quad reviews and always check out your vids first
when looking to buy a quad….
which better.. syma x8c or syma x8sw??
Is this fast at top speed??
thats why its got its on batteries style so that u pay more money for
batteries for it even tho its the same as all other syma bateries
I need a cheap altitude hold drone for a complete beginner – whats your
suggestion?
In a trade show video, I heard a Syma rep quote “Syma doesn’t use brushless
motors in order to keep the product’s cost down!” Well apparently, other
manufacturers have found a way to do it and looks like my “hero” the Syma
X-8 is done!!! The Bugs3 debuts at a cost ($85 at TomTop) a little less
than the price of my original Syma X8-SC (the version that introduced
headless mode) and a couple of other X8 series quads currently on the
market. I was once a big fan of Syma and supporter, but I don’t think I’ll
be recommending or reviewing this one on my channel because of it’s value.
“SYMA IS ROBBING PEOPLE!!!” LoL!!!! Thanks, great review. -djsoulforce
how long does the battery last?
can you increase the range on the wifi with a portable wifi
repeater/extender?
The original x8c is still the best model and does what it was build
for.teaching new flyers
What is the max range?
Wow, only 80 bucks
My friend told me that that the more memory space you have on the sd card
the video is better, is that true?
Syma x8c or Syma x8sc ? what do you thnk
is that delay?
can u give me a free drone since its my bday today
? i really want to have it but i cannot afford
can it carry a gopro?
quadcopter101 just want to say thanks for all your reviews and info.your
videos started me into quads about 8 months ago,I now have 3 quads.a x8c
which i modded the transmitter with a 5db antenna and alsoinstalled a
internal transmitter by eachine and a runcam2 now i have fpv on my x8c and
love it, also have a tarantula x6.thanks buddy for everything
Hello. Please tell me that it is better to buy or X8HW or X8SW?
DONDE ESTAN LAS CARACTERISTICAS DE ESTE DRONE ?
can it lift a go pro hero4
I am due to la in April, are there any good quad stores about there? great
review as always. alway enjoy your reviews.
the camera isn’t enough good
It’s Syma , not seema.
oke info picture kompletenan👍
i bought one for christmas and it didn’t come with a memory card
I think SYMA has improved this model since this video. I just got one and the auto land is very nice and gentle and the 360 flip seems much more stable than in the video
I can’t get the camera to come on? Haven’t flown it yet cause I may have to return if the camera won’t come on. Any advice?
Hello it’s Randy we talked some mounths ago hey just wanted to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New year stay blessed my friend you help me out a lot peace
I just bought one of these. Awesome review and you are in a beautiful looking area! Looks like a good place to shoot long range as well.
Can you trim this while its on the ground ?
what a pcs of crap….auto land works so good
very bad camera….lots of waves
Do we need a camera
Will it follow you?
