Syma X8SC Remote Control Drone with HD Camera 2.4Ghz 4CH RC Quadcopter Headless Mode 3D Flip Light

I've left this a while to review as I wanted to thoroughly road test it first.From the get go, I will say this..... I'm a bloke, instructions don't apply.So I opened the box, to a shiny new drone..... awesome! I hurriedly put the props on it, rushed to the nearest open space and crashed it (repeatedly), the kids hanging around either became so scared they left in fear of losing a toe, or they got really bored of the idiot crashing the drone. I was 6 minutes into my 9 minute flight time, when a mate pitched up."Have you read the instructions?"I starred at him, mouth agape."You should you know!"As it turns out, it does quite plainly say in the instructions that the props fit in a particular way (who knew!). Obviously the manufacturers had seen this before, they included a spare set of props, which was lucky for me! Once fitted correctly, the drone effortlessly soared into the air, flew around a bit and landed right where I expected it to. Well, it took off with gusto, it flew around where IT wanted to, and crashed to the floor in a vain attempt to land. As it turns out, that is my inexperience rather than the fault of the drone, which did everything I mistakenly instructed it to.The camera is a fairly low quality 1mp affair, but it takes decent enough pictures and what do you expect for sub £100?All in all, this drone is great fun and easy to get used to using, just be aware that flying things don't like heavy wind and will not fly where you expect them to once you leave the shade of the trees...... especially be aware if that field is bordered by a river!This drone actually deserves a 6/5 just for putting up with me.

I've always wanted a drone but couldn't afford such a luxury until I saw this one with a discount offer on the page so went for it. It comes in 2 boxes inside the main one. It took me a little bit of time to put it together as the instructions weren't all that clear. I thought they should all light up green but it's not it's 2 green 2 red. Once I knew this it was all easy enough.I took it into the garden to try it out and being a beginner I crashed it every time but that's me I've never flown a drone before.In summary of you're after a cheap drone to begin with then pick this one.

Great for begginers . Once set up as per instructions it only took a few flights to get used to. Really important to set up trim properly makes all the differenceWorth the money especially ad it was on a deal

The drone with a really nice looking.Takes a bit of time to get used to the controls but think it’s a great value for money drone. Had no issues with it just improving my flying skills now
