Nice drone! -- i chose the Parrot Mambo FPV, because it is smaller and thereby fly "safer" indoors, otherwise i think they are equal to eachother, had to buy extra batteries because it seems all these smaller drones suffers from short batterylife - and we here in Sweden can fly drones without any restricitions whatsoever, not filming military facilities of course! - greetings Levi in Sweden (origin Finnish/Russian)

Nice thorough review 👍😎
really nice review, very thorough. you gained a subscriber !!
R .Simmers thank you!!
I really love this vid because its long and specific I'm going to buy this drone soon thanks man
wTF is wrong with ur face? You're welcome!
I just bought this drone which is my first and hadn't a clue how to use it, until I watched your video, great detail, thank you
That's great to hear! That made my day!!
RD's Drone Reviews thanks, I'm saving up for another drone, have you any suggestions
@@waynemcdonnell1765 what's your budget?
This was a great review, you went over literally everything! Except that flight map/path, I agree with you I don't trust it to not just take off in whatever direction. I will test it out in an open space for fun. And I think this one is good when it comes to full throttle down, it has yet to shut off on me. Syma nailed it on this one!!!
yep, agree. Throttle down seems fine. That was an awful design feature in the X8HG. Very poor idea by Syma. thanks!!
Thanks for the great review. My X5UW is already half way here to me now and looking forward to flying it next week. I must have at least 25 quads collected over the years and they are improving every six months. My first quad copters were the syma brand and they have never let me down. My dji phantom 4 I bought last fall has only been flown once as winter came along, so am anxious to get flying and make some more videos again. I subscribed to your channel, and look forward to more of your reviews. HappyFlying GrampaKenCanada
Ken K. thanks! it's a nice little quad but compared to your p4 it'll only be good for fun low worry flying where if you crash you don't have to worry about being out $1k
I too have collect a few quads the only differance I have less than two mins flying time,either y health or these 108 degree days we have haveing ,when I get a more advance quad I give to my sons ,every time I think I got a good beginner quad they come out with a improved version
Looks a cool drone and good review!
thanks and it is very good which is to be expected since it's an X5 series
Gettin this asap thankz
Thanks for the info ,I just got y syma 5uc
we just reviewed this drone as well. we flew it indoors and outdoors. For the price...We really liked it.
Nice video and some great advice to a newbie.
Colly Wolly thanks so much for the kind words!
Drone came yesterday, so I'm buffing up on the video and the instructions b4 my 1st flight. The temptation just to take it outside and try to fly tho is strong. Patience. lol
Colly Wolly yes, patience is the virtue. study up the controls then take it out on a calm day and keep it low to the ground until you're comfortable with it
Thx for your review, I just did my flights :) Not bad quad, but I'm still more happy with my jjrc h11wh, takes better and faster turns and decents faster. In other ways, it just reacts lots faster :)
that's because the Syma is more for video so you don't want fast yaw when filming.
I had the Syma X5HW version before this and since I had it for a long time it broke, so I decided to buy this one today and since I had extra batteries for the X5HW I thought maybe it would also be able to connect to the X5UW version. I tried it, and it worked. It's a bit awkward placing the other drone's battery in there since it is shaped differently. But if you're careful you can use the X5HW version. I do not own any X5's so if you do, and it's not the X5HW, you should still try. Might save a couple of bucks on not having to spend money for more batteries. Hopefully this comment hellped you. It took a long time to write it.
The original X5's used a generic battery with a micro losi connector. Glad you were able to use your existing batteries!
Thank u very much
Death Blossom reaper thank you!!
What is trimming?
Is there a store that sells the battery for this?
I'm sure you can find them on Amazon or eBay in the USA. Otherwise check Banggood and TomTop.
Please join my drone Facebook group. It's full of great guys, very knowledgeable and no drone police or shenanigans. There's some BIG NAME reviewers in the group as well. facebook.com/groups/512520048931595/
there's nothing wrong with the X5UW. it's actually a good choice as well. if you purchase it through my link you can save 18% by using the new code rc18off
I have same drone full same but it is white
My controller isnt connecting to the drone. My controller lights stays on, but the drone lights are blinking. Batteries are fresh as well.
You may need to bind the controller to the drone but I'm not sure how to do that since it has been 3 years since I reviewed this drone.
Great video. Which drone would you recommend for around $100 or less for a beginner?
Q Carson thanks! what features are you wanting for under $100. That'll help me choose. Also, take a look at my Gteng T905 review. it's around $100.
Q Carson - haha, what's wrong with this one? Seems like low rate is smooth and slow, big prop guards, and $75 at GearBest.

Is the X5UW camera compatible with the SYMA X5UC?
JusAr Tin-ado I'm not sure. Sorry :(
Is the camera the only difference between a asyma 5uc and a syma uw model
Ron Thompson I believe so but don't hold me to it lol
What is the difference between the x5uw and x5uw-D
Hmm, that I'm not sure. Sorry
@@RDsRCReviews no worries got a answer thank you.
1st Quad ever, Did a lot of research and glad i got the x5uw, Thanx Fer The Review. 1 question. It comes with a 4g sd card. Whats the most or best sd card for this Copetr?
BobElgin the supplied card is fine. Being only 720p you don't need a faster card. You might go up to 8 or 16GB though
Thanx for the quick response. will look into the 8 or 16gb
no problem! I always reply quick to my TH-cam.
So i got it in the mail today and the only problem is i cant bind them what buttons do i need to bind them together(phone app) Cant see any view
Hey RD i figured out the binding but still have no images or video on my phone, green light on the camera no red light
is the camera smooth?
Sebz gaming it's not bad. if you watch the flight review portion I include the recorded video.
What is the limit of the micro SD slot?
Dert McGert I think 32GB
I purchased this particular drone from UK and now I have it in Bali, Indonesia but unfortunately it's not working properly. When I start and try to hover it tends to fly forward!
Now when I turn on the controller and the drone the lights on both continue to flicker and won't go to constant to fly it!! Nobody here in Indonesia can service or repair it if in fact that's what it needs.
Can any one out there help me sort it out? Thanks in anticipation. Paul.
Paul Ingram that's hard to diagnose. Have you tried calibrating the gyros?
RD's Drone Reviews I can't get it to fly now because the lights keep flashing and won't go Constant, the lights just go out on the drone eventually!
that's too bad. I really don't know what to tell you. Have you tried a new battery? The battery could be bad or even the charger. The lipo batteries do go bad over time.
Can you do it so that you can just take off by yourself instead of doing the whole un arming thing? I have been flying drone cheap drone I got for Christmas one year, and it flew great!... But the one of the motors died. :(
Sh4rky da Shark yes, you can unlock the blades and manually takeoff but I don't recall if it's toe in or out. I no longer have the drone so I can't check.
Sh4rky da Shark if you had watched the video you'd see at the 17:20 mark I discuss how to manually take off. It took me 15 secs to find that. I apologize if I sound grumpy but it gets old when I'm asked questions I discuss in the review.
nah, sorry I had to click off the video because I need to finish my homework. So I just quickly wrote a comment. My fault. :)
Sh4rky da Shark it's ok bud! sorry for being so grumpy. I have so many people ask questions about things I already covered in the review that it's frustrating but you get a pass. Homework is much more important than toys. To answer your question, it's both sticks inwards to start the props then push up on the left stick to takeoff. Hope this helps.
Thanks! Good review too. You earned a sub
What is headless mode
Ez Kidd it's a beginners mode where the direction your push on the stick is the direction the drone will fly regardless the direction you're facing. It doesn't teach you how to keep orientation so I don't advise it and never demonstrate it in my reviews. here's a link to a more in-depth explanation.

Some come with 2 batteries others don't.
I have the same exact drone but my cuts in and out all the time even tho the drone is close to me
Check your camera wire doesn't have an extra twist in it? Or it wiggled out on you...
No longer have the drone the motor blew I got it as a beginner drone few years ago and I saved up for the mavic mini which is now my Ariel photography camera
Doh! Well, best luck then. (You should get a vid on your channel.)
Thanks bro also yeah I’m thinking of starting a TH-cam channel Ariel photography videos since I also work for a roofing company so it would be cool to start taking cinematic shots of the roof we install
Nice informative video but next time don’t record with a cold. Throat clearing is super annoying.
Agreed! Lol. If you watch my newer videos I edit that out. I have a lot of sinus issues and back then I just left it in and I agree it is annoying!
26:17 But it looks like you can't see the horizon at level camera angle. To me that's pointing down too low and still you only basically get ground below you. The camera not being adjustable is a BIG minus, rendering it basically useless as a camera drone. At least if you could see the horizon and a small band of sky it would still be useful to some degree, but cos you (most probably) can't see the horizon, I give it the thumbs down as a camera platform.
Justwantahover I can't disagree with that. So many toy camera drones don't feature an adjustable camera which is unfortunate. My most recent drone review does have an adjustable tilt on the camera and flies nearly 15 mins and costs less than the X5UW.
