I have had several helicopters and even came with healing the coaxial part from the basement to the attic. A quadricopter would behave similarly well and then also is a HD camera ... and for the price ... then it certainly makes no mistake. The first floating experiments in the living room, he has survived. It would be better probably to fly in once in the great outdoors and then to explore the house in case of survival. The camera but I have tried already out of hand. The room was obviously too dark, but on the terrace both a "freeze frame" and a "Movie" were possible. HD but I had imagined otherwise.
The plane came very neatly packed in: fixed in a plastic shell, items stuck, then the cardboard packaging, this again covered with thin foam and then all wrapped in strong plastic film. There is nothing could go wrong. In addition, there was a plug adapter from US to EU, which has to do with the product NIX. Thank You Anyway.
The SYMA X5C itself is very light yet surprisingly sturdy. When mounting the deflector I could apply some force, without there has been any deformations. The plastic trays are a perfect fit. Only one cover the running lights fell out equal. The shells are only apparently jammed. 8 drops atomic glue will help. Overall, I say, nicely decorated and well made - as I have seen worse. The transmitter is very small, but it offers all conceivable functions and trim options. The display saves a (nearly) the operating instructions. Which is created in a foreign language - I think that is ENGLISH. (A very modern version, which I did not know). NULL problemo!
Now it is unpleasant:
1. I had ordered along a set-up batteries. A selection was displayed by AMAZON once and I decided for the best price. The batteries came the very next day. The helicopter a month later and only now I could see that the power sources do not fit. You just go back to Amazon.
2. I can not read or it was displayed until later? The helicopter was launched to supply after 3-4 weeks! I would not have ordered it if I had noticed before. Buying toys is always an impulse purchase, which should be served immediately if possible. Am I spoiled? So far, Amazon has given me everything to next / after next day. This time I had even expected - but ordered is ordered .. After the message delivery can the next day.
3. Still within the delivery period, but already doomed almost at the end, but then did not come about my flight, but a notification from the post office. One would have the customs formalities unfortunately can not do it for me, which was not attached Synopsis / invoice on the package. Now the mission would be the Hauptzollamt Kiel and must be picked up within 2 weeks, otherwise it would be returned to the sender. Grrrr ...
The next day I drove the 2x30 kilometers to the provincial capital, have the Hauptzollamt also found and also did not take long to wait. I had printed out the order AMAZON and after then, an amount of 11.21 was calculated by calculator. The young customs officer was very nice and I needed the board not quite cut open. After reading the print, I could stop. It has put me off state property a box knife and two strips of tape available.
My unexpected additional costs thus amount to 11.21 inches and 60 km car operating costs. What we want to start my time? (Self-employed academics ...) No, I had imagined quite differently. Who can read is a real advantage - and for all the other AMAZON should show in bold red letters that the part will be sent directly from Hong Kong and incurring additional costs that exceed the value of goods. ... NOT good buy ........ Grrrrrrrrr.
