SYMA Portable Indoor Mini Drone without Camera for Beginners Blue

First off many of the reviews here are posted for the wrong drone. I bought the X110W the one that looks like a flying soda can. I got it on sale for $40 down from 60.Secondly toy drones are highly subject to unfair scathing reviews. People pay $30-$50 for a toy and get mad when they realize the 4k camera was a lie , or it doesn't hover in place well, the video feed is bad or the app doesn't even work at all. People's expectations are way too high. However, for flying around indoors without video this thing is pretty awesome.I bought this for line of sight flying in my home when I can't go outside to fly my real DJI drone. The app didn't work so all video features are basically useless. Even if I ever do get them to work I'll likely never use them. They are junk novelty features even when you do get them to work.As with almost all toy drones under $100 and under 200 grams it will not stand up very well to any kind of wind. I flew mine to 20 feet outdoors just once and it was carried away by 5 MPH winds. I had to run after it while gently lowering altitude and catch it in an emergency landing. I won't be taking it outdoors anymore, and that's fine with me.All of this sounds like complaining, but I'm just trying to add some clarification for people that don't know how to temper their expectations when buying a $40 toy thinking it will function like a $1000 machine.I have 2 other drones in the same price range. They take an hour to charge each battery and fly for 6 minutes. These batteries are HUGE and they fly indoors for nearly 15 minutes each. They blow my other toy drones out of the water with flight time.The motors are also insanely powerful for a toy. It sounds very similar to my Mini 4 pro, and they throw a ridiculous amount of air. With that said, it's still ultralight weight and less aerodynamic than your average drone so the wind still overpowers it easily.The propeller guards are removable but only protect the top. So It's very easy to hit something with your blades even with a guard on. It can actually be very dangerous, so maybe not the best for beginners. I'm having a blast with it personally, and I'm glad I picked it up.

Works perfectly, flys pretty high. My son loved it!

Not for beginners. not even close.I own and regularly fly a drone of my own. I thought this would be a good starter for my grandson, who is 15. As with all gifts I buy, I had to charge the batteries, and make sure everything functions properly before turning it over. I tried this drone several times with no success. There is no way to trim the flight path in any direction. It lifts off and abruptly veers to one direction or the other, and is difficult to regain control at that point. Tried it in my 26x26 garage, it lifted off, and veered directly into the wall at high speed.the directions say its default mode is low speed. Not the one I got. it rips off like a blur, and crashes into the nearest wall. I tried to recalibrate the level on it multiple times, it repeatedly did the same thing.Enough, this ones coming back.

This mini drone is an absolute thrill! It takes off with lightning speed, handling turns and flips like a champ. The controls are super responsive, making it perfect for stunts and quick maneuvers. Compact yet mighty, it's built tough for endless fun. Whether indoors or outdoors, this drone brings serious excitement to the skies, pure flying bliss in the palm of your hand!

I bought this product when it was on sale and love it. It is a good quality drone with two speed settings. Would give 5-star review but it has 3 buttons I cannot figure out what they are fore. Overall, great drone for kids, teens and adults. I would but it again.

This is the second Syma Drone that we have had the chance to experience the first one was the S100 I think it was baby stuff great product don’t get me wrong. But The X 200 for a mini drone exceeded my expectations the drone is super fast, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to pilot. It’s takes about an hour to charge, it’s light ,stable. You will enjoy it and the maximum fun. It’s worth the value.

The syma mini drone is a pretty cool setup for indoor flying with my kids. Easy set up and decent flights. The 360 trick is pretty cool and worked perfectly. However, this little drone does not hover in one spot very well. You constantly have to trim it manually to keep it close to a stationary point. I didn't see any options to adjust trim from the controller either. Unfortunately I would expect better hovering out of this drone. Which leads me to my next point, the holy stone hs 190 mini drone is equivalent to this syma but imo is way better. The holy stone is a bit smaller, is cheaper, has adjustable trim, a charger built in to the controller, and it does a pretty good job of staying close to a stationary hover. Will be returning the syma and keeping the holy stone.

Still in the box, when I ask him why he just says Dad says he will break it first time out.. Sorry this isn’t much but this is the best I have.
