They should call it the Syma XHULK+!
This thing is a TANK! I have beat the living crap out of this thing and it takes it all like a champ. I have crashed into beams, cranes, walls and even nose-dived into concrete on the ground and it bounced back into hovering. I would not consider myself an expert flyer but I try to do all the high-speed maneuvers that an expert would do and I dont always excute very well, which usually means crashing. The FPV camera function is pretty neat, slight lag but no biggie. Down to the meat and taters: Cons: FPV Lags Not the greatest flyer in the wind with the prop guards and landing gear on. (take them off and you see a big difference in its stability & handling) Sometimes it can take up to 15 seconds for the transmitter to connect to the drone. Controller seems a little on the cheap side. Only comes with one battery and a charger that takes forever to charge. (Order the Combo: T439 Charger w/ 5 3.7V / 700mAh batteries and this reduces to about 30 minutes plus you then have 6 batteries worth of fly time!) Pros: The thing is a freaking tank! easy & quick to learn how to fly Does the most rad flips you will ever see! Great maneuvering & control Great Price point! Best bang for your buck! FPV for live video as you are flying. (Not to mention it is a 2MP camera so the quality isnt too terrible) Headless function Programable modes Trim features to stabilize flight better Did I mention it is indestructible? As hard as I have crashed it you would think it is made out of titanium and is bullet proof. (Which makes me really want to test that theory...) And now for the Gravy on top of it all: You are spending about $60 to have a fully functional & fully awesome drone with all of the features that the high dollars ones have minus the kick in the wallet. If you want to get serious and fly it outside on a windy day and be completely still with video you are going to have to spend some more money. If you want to get into flying and learning how to run these things and shoot some video while doing it, this is your best choice on the market. You wouldnt go to the store expecting to buy a 80" flat screen for the price of a 15" would you? If you are looking for something that is extremely precise and stable enough to be really serious with some video then you better pull out your checkbook. For all other needs, this is the one. P.S. Did I mention this thing is a tank?????
