+Nico Appears to have improved controller range, and flyaway issue seems to have been corrected. Upon LOS, the quadcopter enters into a landing descent same as low battery descent.
Not bad. Do you think you could replace the camera with a Mobius or Runcam some how since they have their own battery and get longer flight time. Or maybe put different battery in. It seem to have some potential to be a FPV camera platform if you could get rid of the jello. Thanks for the review.
Hello +Quadcopter101 , hard to find the Leopard version, could you please inform where can this version be bought? Thank you very much and keep up the good work 👍🏻✌🏻️
looks like a great flyer with a huge plastic body.I just ordered cx35 main and transmitter boards for my xinxun x56f that has range issues and for my much lighter v262 frame.
The props sound like they aren't balanced so I suspect that's the reason for the jello in the videos otherwise it looks like a decent quad except for the run time on the battery. Putting the "Specifications Listing" in the review is a BIG PLUS! Real good review on the "Leopard" quad and thanks for it.
I wonder if those anti-vibration dampers are swappable with other, softer ones to reduce the jello. Camera quality seems to be better than average and that is kind of a waste.
Nice review.. Must be really heavy for that short flight. Love that it is FPV and the gimbal. I am sure the jello could be fixed. But the flight time...to bad the battery bay is tight, maybe strap a larger battery on top?? Thanks for the thorough review!
Better dampeners (looks like standard dampeners so should be easy to replace), blade balancing, and post processing such as Final Cut Pro X and the jello will be gone. The weak flight time for the price of this is what does it in. The gimbal is nice though.
What is better? This Cheerson CX-35 or WLtoys Q303A? The Q303A has both 1 axis gimbal or also tilt up and down but cx35 does only tilt up and down. Also q303a can set both manual and attitude hold. Q303 has more pro look transmitter.
Any chance of you doing a review of the Phantom 4? I am planning to purchase my very first Qaudcopter and would like advice as to which is the best for the money and a beginner... My desire is range for photography. Perhaps later something with a tracking mode (which is why I asked about the Phantom 4). Thanks for your videos and reviews. They're awesome!
+Clinton L. Callaway Phantom 4 is not appropriate for beginner fliers. I always recommend the Syma X5C for beginner fliers, due to its excellent stability, durability, and ease of flying. And it even has a camera too. Use it to learn the basics of flight with. Let this cheap quadcopter take the inevitable crashes and bangs of a beginner flier. And if you break it, every part on it is cheap, widely available, and easily replaceable. Later as your flying skills improve and you're not crashing as much, then consider something better/more expensive. th-cam.com/video/y93vzA-KRlM/w-d-xo.html
Quadcopter 101 Thank you. Advise please quadrocopter, what to choose? 1. BAYANGTOYS X16; 2. KAIDENG K70S; 3. Cheerson CX - 35; 4. WLtoys Q212G; 5. JJRC H25G. Quadrocopters need for quiet flight with amateur video. I will be very grateful!
I hope Syma scouts this out before releasing their X8H ... no proprietary connectors and 5.8ghz FPV. The X8 has 2000mah batteries which should give better flight times, but I was able to find some 2200mah which give an extra minute or 2. Like you, it seems a good quad, but flight times are just TOO short ... especially for what is a camera/FPV bird. Good that it lands softly, but you better be running a timer so you don't land in a bad place (like a lake). Thanks for a good review .. hope Syma takes note!
+Ericthered 16 I got the 2200mah Tenergy batteries from All-battery.com. They are a little more expensive than the 2000mah batteries, but they do give longer flights and have more "punch". I had bought some "Syma X8 replacement" batteries from a Chinese seller on eBay .. they were crap, and I got my $$$ back and they let me keep the batteries. I've never used them, because they have less than 5 min. flights on an X8, and have no punch ... have to give almost full throttle to keep the quad in the air. As bad as they were, I can attest to the ones I mentioned. Cheers
+Quadcopter Reviews Yes, according to both Cheerson and Banggood, Banggood currently has and is shipping the upgraded version (although its canopy and box may still be labeled as Phantom). I also asked what specifically is changed with this version. Here is Cheerson's quoted reply "The main difference is new software which apparently solved few problems: made RC connection more reliable and stable; the quadcopter itself flies better and it is better balanced; altitude hold works better too."
i wonder if there is any way to confirm this for someome who recieves a cx35 with the phantom labeling. Not sure how trust worthy banggood is about stuff like this
Bought two of them as " not working " at a local fair for 50€ fixed with 2 new motors and gears :) Really like this quad,auto take off and landing,altitude hold works pretty good =)but the controller shows always battery half charged :-\
So I spoke with a sales manager at Cheerson and he said that there is no difference between the Phantom and Leopard. They just changed the name. So much for upgraded software. I also asked Banggood and they said they are only selling the Phantom model. Are there any quadcopter companies and retailers that can keep their story straight because this sounds sketchy.
Here's the quote I got from Cheerson. They say that the flight control software was updated. But maybe they dropped the idea of the Leopard name. "The main difference is new software which apparently solved few problems: made RC connection more reliable and stable; the quadcopter itself flies better and it is better balanced; altitude hold works better too."
Nice lookin quad! I don't understand why they would build a quad that only flies for 5 min! I wouldn't want one unless the batteries are dirt cheap. Keep up the videos, I'm finally catching up with seeing them all.
It looks like a lark on steroids why is cheerson making a high grade drone yet give it cx-20 blades that do not hold well in wind. Regardless it looks pretty powerful with slight shortfalls.
Here's one in the same price range, but I think is somewhat better with altitude hold, very good flier, and a pretty good camera with 1 axis stabilized gimbal th-cam.com/video/scJ67mWmD_E/w-d-xo.html
Kenneth Red Not sure where you saw that price, but it's not $185. Click on the link in the video description of the following video. It's only $110 with free shipping th-cam.com/video/scJ67mWmD_E/w-d-xo.html
+Cr125stin Hold off on that. This is the newer Leopard version that I recently got direct from Cheerson. It supposedly corrects the flyaway issue from the previous Phantom version (plan to test this today). I'm not sure who is shipping this version yet, and will post the link when available.
Is two the same with different name phantom and leopard/ nothing to do with phantom2/3/4 I have the 3 standard and the phantom 4 they been my very first drones but I'm ill so I would like to fly inside and my house is small, anyway I'll sale them and buy the new mavic pro if any one is interested send a message they still in box both only used them about two or tre times each both with spare battery and the phantom 3s as a nice carrier case, never crashed actually they are as good as new and, still under guarantee for more just ask
Thou its only a desert ..i love the landscape and the mountains :D ... it always looks like you first have to do a three hour drive to get to your video point lol..
Thanks. Great review as usual. I wonder if the spare battery for the JJRC X1 , also 7.4v 1300mah would fit? www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter-parts/pp_288700.html
This drone turned out to be a total piece of crap. The directions were terribly incomplete and poorly translated. Many of the screws would not tighten down, forcing me to use several of my own, larger sized screws to secure parts. Out of the box, the transmitter seemed to loose signal
I am totally done with Quads or Drones, will not waste another dollar on the things, have like 50 big and small ones.In my country the Netherlands they are coming with new rules which will make it impossible too fly your quad. The Hobby shop can put there stock with the junk on the curb. Enjoy your Quad or Drone while you still can, soon it will be world wide not possible anymore
This is the newer "Leopard" version (not the Phantom version).
What is the difference pls ?
+Quadcopter 101 i need ur advice I inboxed you
+Nico Appears to have improved controller range, and flyaway issue seems to have been corrected. Upon LOS, the quadcopter enters into a landing descent same as low battery descent.
+ray simmons You inboxed me? I hope that's not bad?
Not at all I just wanted some advice for my x13
Not bad. Do you think you could replace the camera with a Mobius or Runcam some how since they have their own battery and get longer flight time. Or maybe put different battery in. It seem to have some potential to be a FPV camera platform if you could get rid of the jello. Thanks for the review.
Hello +Quadcopter101 , hard to find the Leopard version, could you please inform where can this version be bought? Thank you very much and keep up the good work 👍🏻✌🏻️
read the description
Can the gimbal be changed??
looks like a great flyer with a huge plastic body.I just ordered cx35 main and transmitter boards for my xinxun x56f that has range issues and for my much lighter v262 frame.
Quadcopter 101, great review, I am impressed with this quadcopter but do you think the RTH function is a let down and a deal breaker?
The props sound like they aren't balanced so I suspect that's the reason for the jello in the videos otherwise it looks like a
decent quad except for the run time on the battery. Putting the "Specifications Listing" in the review is a BIG PLUS! Real good
review on the "Leopard" quad and thanks for it.
Where to buy Cheerson CX35 Leopard? I have not found it. In your link, Banggood Model is Phantom...
Which battery lipo 2s can I use, to increase the flight time it? Even
though I need to put the battery out of it. Which battery should I use?
As usual, jello and or vibration problem with the camera. When will they ever get it right????
I wonder if those anti-vibration dampers are swappable with other, softer ones to reduce the jello. Camera quality seems to be better than average and that is kind of a waste.
Would any larger capacity battery fit in the compartment
you would expect them to extend flight time not the newer versions but I guess not.
Nice review.. Must be really heavy for that short flight. Love that it is FPV and the gimbal. I am sure the jello could be fixed. But the flight time...to bad the battery bay is tight, maybe strap a larger battery on top?? Thanks for the thorough review!
Better dampeners (looks like standard dampeners so should be easy to replace), blade balancing, and post processing such as Final Cut Pro X and the jello will be gone. The weak flight time for the price of this is what does it in. The gimbal is nice though.
Is this the original cam
Which drone is better Hubsan H501S or the Hubsan X4 Pro H109S
As I asked for the Phantoms, which of these CX35 models do you feel is better? What are the differences?
Which do think is better the CX 35 Cheerson or the JXD 510G? Guys have modded the camera mount on the 510G to eliminate the Jello in video?
have you tried to see if the tarantula x6 batteries work?
In the description theres no link to buy it and the youtube link goes to the Syma X5HW.
Just saying no hate :D
+QUIT. I'll include a link as soon as I find someone shipping the Leopard version.
Thank you so much for posting a review on this one! Great timing :)
what motor or gear can i replace this quad.if i break it?
long fly.....maybe a 7.4v 1600mah?? 1800mah??what you think??
What is better? This Cheerson CX-35 or WLtoys Q303A? The Q303A has both 1 axis gimbal or also tilt up and down but cx35 does only tilt up and down. Also q303a can set both manual and attitude hold. Q303 has more pro look transmitter.
+Pavin Ubolchitt If you read what you wrote, I think that you've already answered your question.
is it possible to mod the transmitter to increase the range?

Is this camera better than v666 one ?
can i used a separate camera for this? like go pro or sjcam? and how's the flight time? will it last atleast 10min?
how do you get all the drones
Like the features. Dislike the short flight time.
They get more complex but give you no more time to enjoy the complexity.
Could this lift a GoPro
another wealth of awesome information about different drones keep up the great work!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What's the difference
How do you get a quadcopters to stay in one place in the air? Love your channel by the way.
+bobsworth Flying on a calm day, and using the trim buttons ;-)
+Quadcopter 101 thanks
Please tell me the height retention is achieved by the barometer? Or he does not have a barometer?
+Евгений Гор Yes it has a barometer to control altitude.
Quadcopter 101 Thank you. Advise please quadrocopter, what to choose?
1. BAYANGTOYS X16;
2. KAIDENG K70S;
3. Cheerson CX - 35;
4. WLtoys Q212G;
5. JJRC H25G.
Quadrocopters need for quiet flight with amateur video.
I will be very grateful!
What's the best quality camera quadcopter for a beginner?
No x8c
as I "I have never flown anything" or as in "I have flown smaller quadcoprers" ?
It's a shame about the short flight time, deal killer for me, but a nice looking quadcopter.
I hope Syma scouts this out before releasing their X8H ... no proprietary connectors and 5.8ghz FPV. The X8 has 2000mah batteries which should give better flight times, but I was able to find some 2200mah which give an extra minute or 2.

hi quadcopter 101 can you change the motors to brushless ? thx
It's possible. But not an easy project. I myself wouldn't attempt it.
thx I ll leave it as it is then lol
Bought two of them as " not working " at a local fair for 50€ fixed with 2 new motors and gears :) Really like this quad,auto take off and landing,altitude hold works pretty good =)but the controller shows always battery half charged :-\
Cool vidéo !
Can you test the hubsan x4 pro h501s
+Nathan Fuks Just flew it an hour ago. With any luck its review should be posted tomorrow. Really neat what it can do. I was impressed :-)
+Quadcopter 101 Very cool ! Thanks for your quick repliy
Really appreciated!
which would you prefer syma or cheerson with alt hold
Syma
Syma
can you tilt the camera up and down while flying?
Yes
I have the phantom version of this and yes it is a very neat drone
So I spoke with a sales manager at Cheerson and he said that there is no difference between the Phantom and Leopard. They just changed the name. So much for upgraded software.

Hello 101, can you advice me for an indoor small drone with wifi + altitude hold for beginner please
I'm having a lot of fun with the following th-cam.com/video/Wi9cMhk-ANw/w-d-xo.html
Hi! What does "FPV" mean?
+Sabinator en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_view_(radio_control)
the phantm versoin its a little bit better version, its fly home mode its mutch better
Hey Quadcopter, it's available at gearbest now.
+Henry Tuttle Does it say Leopard on the canopy?
+Quadcopter 101 No, but what is the difference? Hope it's the price, cause that's a high price for a 5min flyer and poor quality video.
Nice lookin quad! I don't understand why they would build a quad that only flies for 5 min! I wouldn't want one unless the batteries are dirt cheap.
Keep up the videos, I'm finally catching up with seeing them all.
d quad copter support SD card or not ?
Yes it does.
Sounds like a lot of vibration. Maybe needs gear lube & broken in?
Anyone know the speed
Try udi nano rx 4
I got this one probably with some loo I'll get it tomorrow, thanks for your help
Thanks
Gps availble?
No, not on this old drone.
how much

it looks good to learn on ive just lost my phantom in the sea so I don't wont to spend much I think this cx 35 is good

does it have fpv ?

That sucks tho

same thing happened with my x8w never saw it again lol.
i like your videos!

www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter-parts/pp_288700.html
They could have just get rid of the extra weights and have a bigger room for a bigger battery.
not a bad drone if it wasnt for that Flight time
this has a very clear picture, but the vibration is giving me a migraine !
it almost looks like UDI Lark FPV
hi all!
video quality recorded by drone is very poor.
.
You had me at "...Large altitude". You lost me at "7 minutes of flight time." 😑
Lol
maybe I will buy this but I want to know if there's a bigger battery
Which battery lipo 2s can I use, to increase the flight time it? Even
though I need to put the battery out of it. Which battery should I use?
101 thanks I'm buy now
Nice but,, like u said.. Jello...
It's a cheerson. A shame...😁
v262 motors was the deal breaker for me can't stand those motors they sound terrible and don't last long.
3 hour recharge for 6-7 minute flight time ... No thank you.
first :3
