Specification
Appearance
Motors
The Syma X5SW quadcopter is equipped with classic brushed motors. The transmission of torque is carried out through a gearbox. Provide optimal dynamics in the occupied UAV niche. Flips are performed without failures. The developer does not specify performance information.
Camera
There is a 0.3MP Wi-Fi camera on board the Syma X5SW. The quality of the shooting is below average and falls short of the declared HD quality. As mentioned above, a Wi-Fi camera negatively affects the operation of control equipment. In flight, the picture constantly freezes, despite the fact that the drone was in the air at a distance of 15-20 meters. Flying in FPV mode with her was not comfortable. Therefore, when choosing this model, it is recommended to abandon the use of a stock camera. Buy the camera separately, our choice for price and quality is Mobius MINI or Firefly Q6.
Battery
The Syma X5SW quadcopter is equipped with a 3.7V 500mAh lithium polymer battery, but it is better to buy the same battery, but already with a capacity of 1200mAh
Control
The quadcopter is equipped with 4-channel control equipment operating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. In an interference-free area, it provides a distance of no more than 120 meters. Power is supplied from 4 × 1.5V AA batteries (purchased separately).
Test drive
In the UAV niche, the Syma X5SW quadrocopter in the test showed indicative dynamics and controllability, there is enough engine thrust in abundance. The present 6-axis gyroscope provides stable flight, flips playfully, piloting in the “Headless” mode will be appreciated by beginners as always. Immediately, we note that in order to obtain the maximum possible dynamics, it is recommended to remove the camera and supports from the quadcopter. Since the X5SW is controlled and the video stream is transmitted from the Wi-Fi camera at 2.4GHz, the pilot will not be able to fly further 15-20 meters in FPV mode. When you move further than 20 meters, communication with the drone disappears, after which it falls.
The only drawback of collector motors is their short service life. If you notice that the quadcopter has stopped producing optimal thrust, and its activity has become noticeably sluggish (with a fully charged battery), it is recommended to buy new motors and the quad will again begin to realize its full flight potential. The main rotor on budget quadrocopters always requires mandatory balancing, this will help get rid of jelly and vibrations at the time of aerial photography.
Price
On various Internet trading platforms, the price for a Syma X5SW quadrocopter starts from $ 30-60...
