The Syma X5C-1 is an excellent training drone for beginners. It is a low cost, easy to fly, very sturdy, and thoroughly predictable drone. Flight time is approximately 5 minutes, although flying in cold weather ie: below freezing temperatures will shorten battery life and could possibly damage the electronics. It should be noted that this caveat applies more or less equally to all drones. It is ready to fly once the battery is fully charged; there is nothing extra that the owner must purchase. Service from Cheerwing was excellent. One word of caution: since the X5C-1 is a very lightweight drone it should be flown ONLY in the calmest of conditions. In other words, NO WIND. The camera performs well and is a very useful learning tool. To sum up: I give the Syma X5C-1 5 out of 5 stars.

Good entry level drone. Great for beginners to learn to fly manually before attempting to fly a more intermediate or advanced drone. Learn all the basics with this drone. Make sure to buy extra batteries with charger from CHEERWING as one battery lasts 7 minutes of flight time. Clear still photos and decent video, but don't expect too much as this drone is definitely an entry level drone. Comes with propeller guards but is more stable without them. Flight time is about 9-10 minutes per battery without prop. guards, landing gear and camera. Very fun to fly and virtually crash-damage proof! No need to register with FAA. Make sure batteries are cooled down to room tempt before charging and wait 5 minutes between flights as to allow motors to cool down.

First off, I want to start by saying I would give the Syma X5C-1drone 5 stars, not because it is an excellent 'beginner' or 'learn to fly' drone, but for the price. In fact, I own two of them - although one is crashed high in the top of a yellow pine! That said, I went with 4 stars for four primary reasons: 1. The full spares kit - extra props, prop guards, landing skids, and motors - is a must buy with this little drone. The Syma X5C-1 is tough - both of mine have been flown into walls and ceiling fans, caught in trees, and crashed hard onto concrete. The prop guards, props, and landing skids take the brunt of crash impacts and they do break and crack. Hard landings and crashes also knock the battery hatch open. 2. The battery life on the single battery provided with the X5C-1 is very short - 7 or so minutes in calm conditions with no camera usage; 5 minutes or less in windy conditions and/or with camera (especially) video usage. Buy the higher Ma bundle of six batteries and charging hub. These will extend your flying time by around 30% or a bit more. Or, kill two birds with one stone and buy the bundle with the higher Ma batteries and spares kit. 3. The Syma X5C-1 camera is next to useless. Yes, it works, but at 2mp, it barely rates as 'poor.' If you want high quality stills or video, this is not the aerial camera unit for you. (Again, consider the pricing...) One odd thing about the camera system on these drones is that the images and videos on the micro SD card cannot be removed, or the card reformatted. (If they can, I've not found a way to do it.) I shot a few sample pictures and videos, but cannot remove them from the card, and could not find a way to erase the card. Even after trying a reformat with three different camera bodies, my MacBook Pro, or one of my wife's PC's, the card will not reformat. Also, if the connection between controller and drone is lost, the photos/videos will also be lost. For me these aren't serious strikes against the X5C-1 as I don't see it as being anything close to an 'aerial photography/video platform.' Still, they are an annoyance. The camera is easy to remove if you decide to do so. 4. The remote for the X5C-1 is functional and responsive, but the left stick - which controls yaw and the speed of ascent and descent - is not sprung. When released, it stays right where it is instead of springing back to the center, or neutral, position. Aggravating at times, but, undeniably one of the things that makes this a good learning drone. Incidentally, I found these remotes will pair with other X5C-1 aircraft. I have had minor trim issues with my units, but a quick reset to factory defaults - easily done - resolved them. The drone is bullied by anything stronger than a gentle breeze. Again, another factor that emphasizes this is a good drone for learning the basics of flight. The Syma X5C-1 is probably one of the best drones with which to learn to hover - and by that I mean it doesn't do it that well without constant input from the pilot - but this how pilots learn. You have to be careful with the altitude though - it is easy to lose visual on the drone quickly, especially on an overcast day, and potentially lose it out of range. For this reason, I switched the forward prop guards from the white stock ones to the red ones included in the spares kit, and the aft guards to blue, also included in the spares kit. This has helped tremendously in staying oriented to the drone during flight. There's also a button on the remote which allows the drone to to flips when used in combination with a right-stick control, but I've not bothered with it. There are two modes, 'Low' and 'High.' The remote defaults to the low mode when switched on and the remote can toggle between the two using the same button which flips the drone in flight. Stick with low mode until you're comfortable and flying in a wide open space. The high mode increases the drone's performance significantly. Overall, I like these little drones. I always recommend the Syma X5C-1 to friends who express an interest in learning to fly. In fact, I suggest they buy two with the spares kit and extra batteries. They are cheap enough so losing one to a crash or flyaway isn't a hard pill to swallow, but they're also well designed and built to take the abuse a learning pilot can dish out. Even though I'm flying a much, much, more advanced drone these days, I still take my remaining X5C-1 out once in a while for the pure fun of it.

This is the 2014 model. In late 2014, SYMA updated the SC to thr SC-1 to fix stability. It's fixed. Later on in 2015-2017, the SC-1 updated was again and SYMA added X5SW adding "Headless Mode" to both. "Headless mode" is important. If it flys far away it's possible to lose orientation on left-right, forward-back because you can't see it that well. In "Headless mode" the quad flys the the direction you move the Right Control stick not matter if it's turned 90 degrees or the front is now facing you. If it's facing you, the left-right command is backwards. So, HM is a really good feature to have on any Quad. So get a newer version. The newer version has "spider" landing gear not the "skid" ones on this one. That's a sure way to tell. Sturdy. Arrived 95% ready to fly. Just add the prop guards(super easy) and charge the battery. Cool lights. Very stable flight. SYMA also a lot of parts for this series as they made multiple modes of the X5 series. 3.7 Volt batteries are easy to find. Nice controller. Great value to learn or good camera platform for more advanced. A+ Fly it a lot as a "trainer" to learn orientation. Just don't let it get far away so you always see which way is forward. Put some high-vis tape stripes on the the forward arms will made it easier to see which is the front. Also, it has NO ALTITUDE HOLD mode which means you have to really fly the throttle every second to control altitude. Any Quad with Altitude Hode makes the learning process SOOOOO much easier because it stays at where you out. Then you can concentrate on learning the horizontal maneuvers. My first Quad, a TOZO 2020 had altitude hold. Really helps learning it. This is a sturdy low tech "trainer." You gotta really "fly" it every second. The X5CSW has "Headless Mode" $7.00 cheaper. Go figure.
