In the remote I fly to 15 battery charges the drone still with the first 4 batteries from the discounter. The drone charge batteries on the laptop rather have 70-80 minutes.
With the video footage I'm quite happy for the purchase price. The camera was buying decision for me because I wanted to do less aerial acrobatics but mainly videos from a different perspective !! Clear any GoPro recording quality and also not a true HD aside from the image size but also not expected at 1.2 MP! Get clever shots but some demands of practice ... soon the image is too shaky. Most require lateral maneuvers also that the image horizon very angle - what is waste! It is advisable to keep the drone stable and to have only very gently slide. Also, the correct distance to the filmed object is an empirical value and practice, as the camera is easily attached filming down, quickly filming for example, only the meadow in front of or above the horizon. Usually a greater distance from the Movie Object is better, otherwise one has quickly a closeup of pebbles only a rock wall or a window sill of a house wall :-). So I'm very happy with it for that lower price range, of course you can not compare aerial photographs of a TV production or expect similar results in the end!
The camera function is not in the description, or described incorrectly! If I had it in other reviews have not already read it, I could probably have never operate ;-) The left trim lever on the remote control turns off the camera. Here you can see very bad if the camera is running or not. Also it is essential to bear in mind for the camera to start this off the film end up back before the drone eg off / restart) because otherwise the film is not processed, and you have an empty file on the SD card!
The flight behavior is very good! Changing direction maneuvers nevertheless require a minimum response time! In overdrive, the drone hisses from almost unimaginable speed. Great Flight gimmicks with flap and loop touch of a button Easy possible. For the low weight, the drone is relatively robust wind - safe drives wind always a little off, but I'm already flown in strong gusts, it comes!
General looks the drone good, even with the colored LED lighting below. However, I no longer recognize the person then from far away unfortunately. Almost impossible to me to recognize the camera function lamp, let alone several meters.
From the robustness of the drone, I am simply thrilled !. Whether flown against objects, or rudely "landed" on various substrates of the hall floor, rocky soil or lawn - not a scratch, no functional impairment. No blade defective so far (when there are so 4 pieces as a substitute at!) Higher crashes and even falls on top has the drone survived completely unscathed. And as already described even a crash into the water! Class!
So I can absolutely recommend the Syma X5C on my part.
I personally would at any time buy back only with a German distributor - me she faces east just below 95 euros here - good China is 40 euros less, but possibly also of other content and especially other service!
