CheerwingSyma X5SW-V3 FPV Drone with 720P Camera for Adults and Kids, One Key Start, Altitude Hold, Custom Flight

I absolutely love this thing! It handles really well, just lacking in stability due to it's extremely low weight, but is manageable. It gets pushed around a lot in even mild winds, but you can control it easily with a little practice. This is my first quadcopter and it's incredibly easy to learn how to fly. If you've ever played a console game using a controller with two joysticks, you'll learn fast. Only downside is waiting ~90 minutes between flights, so buy extra batteries with your drone so you don't have to suffer like I am! I just want to fly this thing all damn day; it's the most fun I've ever had with any RC toy. It's a lot of fun to toss in the air and kick up the throttle and watch it correct itself.Granted I've yet to crash into anything with any real force, this thing takes crashes very well. The bumpers help protect the blades very nicely. I got this thing stuck in a tree in my backyard this morning and took hours to get it out, but it worked just fine after I recharged the battery.The camera quality isn't bad for the price and it's a ton of fun to watch the videos of your neighborhood from 100+ feet in the air (and I've got ocean view, which is a nice bonus), as long as it doesn't start freezing the video feed more frequently within 10 uses like mine did. At first, the video would stutter at times, but only occasionally and remained smooth for the most part. Now it does it very frequently and for seconds at a time. But that's only if yours ends up like mine, which from the videos of this model that I've seen, I doubt you will have the same (bad) luck as me. Do not use the FPV alone to fly the drone! It lags, even at peak quality, and can lead to crashes, so only use it lightly for orienting the camera for pictures and video. Use line-of-sight for regular flight.Other than the camera, this is an amazing drone. Replacement parts are cheap for a really nice sized part replacement kit, so I'm going to buy one of those soon just in case anything does happen. Will probably be buying another one for my wife in the likely case she enjoys mine.I called Amazon to ask about the camera issue, not even asking for a replacement or refund or anything, and the rep just gave me a refund for the whole quadcopter. So despite the camera, that's why I'm giving this thing 5 stars instead of 4, and why I will likely be buying another one of these quadcopters or something different.

I gave this quad 5 stars because of the durability and how easy it is to work on/replace parts. Parts are also extremely cheap. That being said let me explain that I didn't purchase this drone from Amazon, I actually saw it as someone was throwing it away in the apartment complex that I work at. He said that the "motors burned out" I see a lot of complaints about "burned out motors" and it makes me laugh because 1: the motors were not burned out, and 2: replacement motors are as cheap as $1.39 right here on Amazon.I charged the battery and then turned it on to see what was wrong with it and quickly realized that two of the blades weren't spinning with the others, so I took a closer look, removed one small screw and instantly saw that the gear from the motor was no longer aligned with the gear for the blade (picture 3) easily fixed by pressing down on the blade until the gears realigned. After doing this to both of the "broken" blades the quad took off effortlessly. Back in business! I think it's also important to say this is the first drone I have ever flown!I have wanted one for some time so I was very happy to find one that someone was throwing out. This quad is very easy to fly (after a few minutes of getting used to it) and to my surprise I could control it outside during snow and medium winds.The camera was better than expected and there is no delay whatsoever on the wifi transmission to my phone which is super important for flying when you can't see the drone. (Sometimes it takes a while for my phone to connect to the wifi of the camera though)It takes about two minutes and 16 small screws to take this drone apart and expose the circuit board and wires. I removed the two red LEDs and two green ones (picture 1) and replaced them with one single white spotlight in the front (picture 2) I did this by cutting the wires of the existing lights and attaching those to the white led, then I drilled an led sized hole in the frame and inserted the new light. Done! It was fun and easy to tinker with this and I plan to do more.Finally, I have crashed this quad into the snow, down several flights of stairs, into my car, my cat, trees, mailboxes, you name it I've crashed into it several times and haven't even had to replace a blade yet. I am now ordering bigger batteries for this quad and going to get extra blades and motors for it because they are so cheap and I never want to be done flying this quad!Take it from someone who pulled this quad out of the trash. I did not spend a dime and therefore have no reason to lie or bend the truth. This copter is fun and for the price it is outstanding
