Pros & Cons

Pros

It’s super simple to set up and super easy to fly! It has 2 batteries and a hard case that everything fits perfect in. The syma x500 is super easy for beginners, the setup takes no time so you can enjoy your drone in a matter of a few minutes. Pressur...  Read More

This drone has features that every beginner needs, from return-to-home to video capture. The remote control is easy to use and handles my large phone (pixel 6 in a case) the app is a little more difficult but not bad.

It takes turning it off and back on a few times. It got rained on and snowed on constantly. Pressing the home button takes it back where it started.



Cons

Some reviews say that it starts wandering and simply stops following commands. Wifi connection with mobile is a pain in the *. Calibration never works properly.

This product exists only to scam people out of money. Don't even bother with the manufacturer's website. And the intended recipient of this gift still has nothing to use!

This drone is very frustrating. Half of the app is in chinese. This is deal breaker.

    Not so sure about optical mode


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Do not recommend flying indoors unless its an empty warehouse


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Been unable due to pain to add much


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only thing i wish i didnt have to do is to go through all the 9 steps of setting it up for flying every time i turn it off and then on again


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I also wish all the labels for the buttons and the joystick were printed on the transmitterremote controller itself instead they are printed separately on a piece of paper that i had to tape to the controller and the 9step instructions are on the back of that piece of paper which is also very inconvenient


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My son has fun flying it but i do not have fun going through the 9 steps to get it ready for flying


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the new edition does not have a sd card slot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is very important because the new edition can only record in the app
