About the product

Syma X11 / X11C drones do not have Headless Mode

Recall that the Headless mode is relevant exclusively for budget devices and is used only at the first stages of the pilot training process.

As noted above, the X11 and X11C models, both externally and technically, have no differences. The only difference is the built-in 2MP camera (for the X11C model), which in turn determines the battery capacity. The version of the quadrocopter without a camera is equipped with a 200mAh battery, with a camera - 250mAh.

Test Drive

In the test, the Syma X11 and Syma X11C Air-Cam drones showed distinctive dynamics for the occupied mini quad segment. All their best sides are shown indoors, the light weight affects. Flights in the fresh air are not excluded, but provided there is no wind.

Maximum dynamism is revealed in High mode, especially when the propeller guards are removed. It is advisable for beginners to refrain from removing protection, at least at the first stage of familiarization with the control. 360 ° flips are both playful. The flight range is no further than 60 meters, which is quite normal. The flight time in practice is 6 minutes, while the manufacturer's declared 6-8 minutes.

Recommendations

To avoid any inconvenience in controlling the drone during the flight, we recommend that you perform a pre-flight gyro calibration.

  3. Place the quadcopter on a level surface
  4. Take in hands the remote control and move the left and right sticks to the lower right corner and hold in this position. At this moment, the blue LEDs on the front of the drone (in the form of a peephole) will switch from a constant glow to a blinking mode.
  1. Wait until the LEDs return to solid. Calibration finished, start flying.
