SYMA X600 Foldable Drone with Altitude Hold and Headless Mode for Adults without Camera, RC Quadcopter with One-key Start, Speed Adjustment and 3D Flip for Kids Beginners, Easy to Fly

I bought this drone to replace a broken Sky Viper Fury that I used to chase my dog around the yard because he loves it. There’s not a lot of inexpensive toy class drones of a decent size that aren’t focused on cameras anymore. I just want something fun to fly with good speed and range. This Syma was a little more expensive than the Fury and I hoped that it might be even better. Boy was I in for a disappointment. I have owned and flown tens of drones of different sizes, skill levels and prices. This is by far the worst and slowest drone Iv’e ever flown even among “toy” or “beginner” class drones. It made me so mad I felt I needed to write this review.It’s possible I received a lemon and the programming was messed up but if not it’s just completely worthless for flying around with any sort of speed. This thing is basically a hover bot that can do flips in place. That’s exciting for about 3 flips and then gets old immediately. Even in sport mode this thing had absolutely no power. I tried flying this in a 5mph breeze and at full throttle forward I was stuck in place going against the wind, it was quite pathetic.In addition to the poor flying ability the build quality seems terribly suspect and I’m very skeptical of durability. In comparison to the Sky Viper Fury the plastics seem incredibly thin and fragile. The drone itself which is actually larger that the Fury is quite a bit lighter. You would think that would help it fly better but certainly does not.I can’t tell if it’s very underpowered or just terribly programmed so I can’t recommend this Syma drone as there are much better for lower price. Sending this one back immediately.

This is my first drone, and I love it! took some getting used to of course, but I LOVE that it doesnt require an app to work. No phone required, it comes with a remote. There is no camera but you dont need one.out of the box it comes in normal mode, not headless mode. figure out which end is the front, and that end always mives forward when you push forward.The battery compartment is wacky tho, getting the lid on and off is not great, but overall I love it, and even tho other drones are cheaper, Im super glad I got this one. Crashed it a lot and the blades are still good. Battery lasts long enough I have no complaints.Closing the battery compartment is annoying, very bad design.

After saving his money and scouring the internet, my 10 year old son purchased this drone and has enjoyed it immensely. He loves the easy to operate transmitter, hover feature, and back-up battery for extended play. Mom appreciates the lack of a camera and the folding feature so kiddo can put it away easily. Plus the X600 has proven to be quite durable- my young pilot crashes often, especially early on. This drone took some heavy hits to the ground but always popped right back up.

My 11 year old grandson was able to pick up flying this drone pretty quick. Christmas Day was somewhat windy and the wind pushed it a couple of times into the brick on the house. He had the guards on and the drone just bounced off of the house with no damage. The batteries lasted longer than what was advertised. Thank you!

What I love about this lil drone is how lightweight it is. Also folding in the legs of the drone make it a lot easier to take it places.Lots of fun and easy to learn!
