whats the model number for x5c1 vs x5c or is it x5c vs x5 because I haven’t
found anything with x5c-1
That’s not very fair using the landing feet and camera on one and not the
other…
But the one that was weighted down beat the other one.
+Quadcopter 101 yeah but without the weight it might have beat it by a lot
further, I’m just saying if its a race between the two same quads have them
in the same form and rate.
+The RCAddict What about stability. I always thought that a bit moore
weight would increase stability, especially in a windy situation.
+Richard Sensale Yeah, some things fly better with more weight but the
acceleration would be held back a little.
Can you use the same transmitter to control either quadcopter?
Will the transmitter that came with the X5C work with the X5C-1?
No it won’t work. But to tell you the truth, I don’t think there are any
more of the original X5C’s out there anymore on store shelves. They’re all
upgraded models by now.
+Quadcopter 101 I got a good price on a Syma X5C-1 sold with no
transmitter, and I wanted to use my old Syma Transmitter.
Thanks, now I know why my new Syma wont work.
Did they do anything on the -1 to improve the range without the DIY TX
antenna mod?
No they’re both about the same range.
Hello my friend! tell me what is perceptible difference from X5c X5c-1?
Most if not all of the original X5C’s are long gone from store inventories.
Here is a very simple way to tell the difference…
You have the upgrade model if the camera is controlled by the little trim
button immediately to the right of the throttle stick. (The original X5C
controlled the camera from the flip button).
Here is another way to tell. You have the upgrade model if your quadcopter
can flip while the camera is still attached to the quadcopter. (The
original X5C could not flip if the camera was attached and plugged in).
+Quadcopter 101 thanks
!
Good day. It’s okay to fly in the open with the protectors of propellers?
Influences the flight if you remove them? I read some posts that it is
better to fly without them outdoor. Is that correct? Thanks !
That’s true. It’s much more maneuverable without them (and also without the
camera)
Thank you for your attention and clarification!
can I take snapshots too ??
thetruth, yes you can.
is the x5c-1 the best budget quad to practise with , anything cheaper thats
as good or better around the same price?
Well if a camera is not important, then recommend considering Syma X11
pinoyeh, yes but then the pilots would also have to be of similar
experience and skill. My friend (the timer) is only a beginner. Also, they
were both using the stock 500mah battery that comes with the quadcopter.
Hey I recently got the x5c, how do I know when the battery is fully
charged? Do u wait for the red light on the USB cable to turn off????
The light goes off when the battery is fully charged.
which of these 2 got the better camera? the -1?
There’s no difference. But it doesn’t matter anyways. The original X5C is
no longer being sold. All X5C’s being sold now are tupgraded models with
the camera controlled by the throttle trim switch.
Hi! In your opinion, whick one is better?? Syma X5C-1 or JJRC H9D??
Thanks!
+Quadcopter 101 Thanks! Do you know if this models has brushless motors?
+Renner Arruda No. There are no brushless motor quadcopters available for
under $100.
+Quadcopter 101 I didn’t know…Which drone do you recommen me that is
around $100 and has a brushless motor?
RC Logger Eye One Xtreme
And here’s RCGroups thread
+Quadcopter 101 Thank you very much!!
I have x5c 1…that thing is awesome! It really worth its money
I currently have a cheerson cx10 and I am wanting to upgrade to either JJRC
H8c or the Syma X5c-1, which one would you recommend ?
Syma X5C-1. Nice step above the CX-10. Hard to go wrong with the X5C.
Hey there +Quadcopter 101: I know you firmly stand by the Syma X5C-1, what
is your opinion on the camera-less version the X5…. have they updated it
to the equivalent stability, range ect as seen on the X5C-1? (I would like
to mount my own micro camera and avoid the battery sharing issues) Thanks!
Martin,
It’s hard to find anymore as Syma stopped making it. But others have
stepped in to fill the void with clones that use almost all the same parts
of the original.
I love this inexpensive quad copter, great stability, wonderful for
shooting Mobius video.
Hey brother I am askin if you live anywhere near the southern east coast
because me and a few colleagues are starting a doc drone race track and
asking if you want to be a part of the project
alright, so I got hold of a copy of the Syma X5: ‘Bo Ming copter X5 flip
king’. Everything is close to identical…however I can’t get this thing
to hover at same altitude…. it either keeps climbing or slowly drops back
down, resulting in me fighting with the controller and getting this
‘bobbing up and down’ situation. I have kept it on level surface, and
reset the gyro by pointing the both controls bottom right ect…
do you know if this an easy fix issue that I am experiencing as a newbie,
or a more serious problem?
+Martin H Sounds like normal beginner overcorrecting of the controls. It
takes practice, but you should be able to eventually work the controls to
hover in place. It’s like riding a bike or driving a card. Eventually,
with practice, you’ll automatically react to the movement of the quadcopter
to keep it in place. And you should also be able to find that sweet spot
where you can momentarily (for a few seconds only) let go of the controls
to let it hover hands free.
apa kelebihan x5c?? dan kelebihan x5c-1 ?? ditemapt saya x5c-1 sangat
jarang sekali dipasaran
Do not be concerned. The old original X5C is no longer available. All that
are being sold now are the upgraded X5C-1, even those that are sold as X5C
are really upgraded X5C-1 quadcopters.
+Quadcopter 101
wow kalau begitu saya salah membeli produk, saya baru saja membeli zyma x5c.
Hi I wanna build an own quadcopter for a “finish-school-project” (i
don’t know how to say that in english)..
first i wanna buy a cheap drone to see how it works which drone do you
recommend? the x5c? should be under 100$ …
and another question.. don’t the x5c have esc controllers?
you only need esc for brushless motors?
i’d be glad if you’d answer this comment :D
+TOBIPX How about the $26 FY326?
Or the F522 (check back in two hours for that video).
+Quadcopter 101 sounds pretty good! is there any difference between the
F522 and the X5C except the longer range? is the flight experience and the
stableness similar? if it’s similar or even better i gonna buy the f522
and thanks for your answer subscribed you
+TOBIPX sorry i meant the FY326
+TOBIPX The F522 is the most stable flier of all the cheap Syma X5C clones.
But wait a day before deciding. There may be a coupon code for this. Let
me ask GearBest, and if there is, I’ll post it in the info section of the
following video
+Quadcopter 101 okay thank you!
X5c-1 or h5c? I’m a newbie. Thank you
+Quadcopter 101 Is JJrc H5C good?
+Anh Ma Quoc I never got one for review. But here are some thoughts on it
And also recommend the video reviews here
+Quadcopter 101 thank you very much. But I’m still confused, x5c vs h5c is
better.
yes, x5c is a more stable flier.
I bought x5c-1 and I liked it
Have you compared to the new Syma X5S-C Headless model? I read that FF was
not good on the new model.
+Bob Snelgrove
Hi. Ive ordered what is supposed to be the x5c-1 and in the photos on
amazon it looks just like the x5c . Do you get different looks depending on
where in the world you live or am I being taken for a ride??? Look forward
to hearing your opinion
+Ross Pienaar All the original X5C’s are long gone from the shelves since
Christmas. All being sold now are upgraded models, even if they’re simply
listed as X5C.
I have a syma x5c, a wl toys v686g fpv, a cheerson cx 10 and a proto x. Im
looking for a syma x5c-1 and I cant find one. The gearbest like in your
video discription is actaully the x5c… Thanks in advance
Clay, Since this video was made, Syma has dropped the -1 designation. All
X5C’s being sold now are the upgraded model no matter if it says -1 or not.
The way to tell is the camera is controlled by the throttle trim button on
the upgraded modell.
Doe’s the camera work well?
+Tevoan Prince It works OK, but I’ve seen better
I like to remove the stock camera and use an 808 #16 keychain camera with
mine
You apparently have the best testing grounds I’ve seen yet
I have the new type transmitter with the cam function on the right of left
stick.It was supplied with a 5c only 6 months ago.Will this tranny work
with the 5c-1 as it specifies the new tranny which i seem to have..thanks
+Hugo Stiglitz Yes it should. And really, if your 5C works with this
transmitter, it’s really an upgraded model (same as 5C-1).
+Quadcopter 101
I lost my original to pirate neighbours and found a 5c-1 for £17.00 which i
jumped at from banggood.com.Many thanks as i didnt know this of the 5c.
How much price
+Quadcopter 101 how do you spot the difference between the x5c explorers
quad and the x5c-1 upgraded?
i have the x5c explorers(thats what is written on the box) but its exactly
the same as what you are holding on your left in this video.(by exact i
mean the X is red and i have 2.4g written under it in the same font and
colour).
I’m lost! please help. Thanks in advance
+Quadcopter 101 ok i just read your comment below and i’d like to add that
my camera can be controlled by the trim button on the left side of the
transmitter
+Ujwal Jhaveri All X5C’s sold since November 1014 have been the upgraded
model. Note that Syma has stopped calling the upgraded model X5C-1 and
simply refer to it now as X5C. You definitely have the upgraded model.
+Quadcopter 101 Thats a relief ! Thanks alot! Flew it on the beach in
decent winds but i had to keep pulling the quad back towards me cause it
kept getting carried away with the wind ( in high mode). In low mode it
wasn’t possible to control it. Does it happen? any tips? i thought it was
much more stable in the wind
+Ujwal Jhaveri Are you flying with propeller guards installed? Take them
off and it will fly much better.
+Quadcopter 101 yup! will try that. Thanks
so, which one is your recommendation for indoor photography ? X5C or X5C-1
?
+Maulana Rizqi Well, you can’t get the original X5C anymore, as it’s long
been removed from vendor’s shelves. And I don’t recommend the stock camera.
But if you replace it with an 808 #16 V3 keychain camera, you can get
reasonable results
+Quadcopter 101 thanks for the links, have you ever tried x5sc ? comparing
with this one for indoor flight stabilty etc…
+Maulana Rizqi Yes I have
The radio I had which we thought would work as its a new variant but it
didnt.I had to order a new new radio …
