Hey guys!

This is the stock camera flight video of the Syma X8C.

Designed like the DJI Phantom, you can replace the stock camera with a GoPro/Xiaomi Yi/SJCam 5000/ other such cameras and with such a setup you can take good aerial videos. I have been flying this since a couple months, and I love it! This is my first Quadcopter and its big enough to not be considered as a toy.  ;)
While many people do not advice this as to be a beginners quadcopter, I've managed to learn flying a quadcopter with the X8C. Of course I must mention I've had quite a few crashes, but the quadcopter itself has a decent enough build quality to withstand light crashes, so I've not broken anything yet. I've been cautious enough not to have a hard crash which would break the qaud.
Also its worth mentioning that this quadcopter has 'headless mode'. This is a real benefit for beginners. This helps maintain orientation without you having to know which side the quadcopter is pointing towards. Only experienced fliers can fly without this feature, which I'm currently trying to tackle and learn. I am not a expert yet! :)

This is a pretty smooth flyer. Flies good at light winds, but of course this would slightly struggle at moderate to strong winds.
I would definitely recommend this quadcopter to others. Its fun!  :) {:)}

Anyway, I don't want to rant any more to bore you guys!  ;D

Check out the video! I am a beginner in flying quadcopters so please bare with the novice flying and video capture.



Cheers!  :)

P.S. You can reduce the rolling shutter/jello effect as seen in my video by some quick and easy mods. This is the stock camera mounted as it is, so you know how the video is out of the box.

Ask questions or you will never get the answers.

maiden flight last night - Hobbyking Sea Fury - huge plane!

theleabres

From this morning - here is the landing at the beach parking lot. She requires a perfect touch due to being on the heavy side. For 1.2 meter wingspan, she lands like a rock (heavy wing loading - maybe extra dense foam or heavy retract electronics). Enjoy!

I had this Hobbyking MIG 15 in a box for four years.  This week I glued on the wings, put in a lipo, and flew it!  Very fast jet but needs huge airspace as it will not come in for a short landing.

The plane arrived with a dead flap servo. Finally the replacement servo arrived and now to see how she she lands with the flaps.

For slow relaxing flights, fly at night with lights on your slow flyer

can anyone guide me from where in india can i buy syma x8c?

theleabres

My friend built the Hobbyking Pro GT 450  FBL and on the maiden flight the front gears stripped.  Cheap quality, better to go with Align.

This is what a Hobbyking 550 GT can do when built and tuned by a pro.

After a break of around an year, got my interest back in flying. Had a ultra micro v120D05 (highly modded) which had a very bad crash last year.

Have tried to get it to fly for a month but couldn't find the problem (maybe I had a pre conceived notion about the problem).

After about a year, with newly revived interest, I managed to fix the problem and fly this little beauty, boy it gets the heart racing again.

The ability to fly this thing virtually on my roof top makes it so easy, without worrying to go to a field.

Will fine tune it and will share a video of two of how this flys.
Let's fly!
