Drones are relatively new and are gaining popularity
extremely fast thanks to the media attention. But not all drones are equipped
with machine guns and only used for military spying purposes. RC drones that
can be bought by the public are also known as quadcopters, these quad rotor
flying machines are extremely fun to fly and surprisingly relatively cheap as
well. If you are new to flying quadcopters then I would recommend to start off
with a mini drone such as the Syma X4. A quad like this will give you good
experience in flying and allow you to decide if you want to move on to bigger
and better drones.
Syma X4 Review
The Syma X4 is one of the most popular mini quadcopters on
the market today and for good reason. At a price range of around $30 you can
have a mini drone that can be flown both indoors and outdoors up to a distance
of about 40 meters. What makes the Syma X4 so much fun is its ability to do 3-D
flips with ease. This little guy can literally twist and turn any way
imaginable and does so like a professional drone. Compared to most mini quadcopters
this model has a long control distance and strong anti-interference which
allows you to fly around other drones as well without being interrupted by their
radio signal. I have flown many quadcopters in my day but very few are as fun
as this one and with the high powered lipo battery you can fly for up to six
minutes which is pretty good for a mini drone.
If you are looking to get into flying quadcopters then the
Syma X4 is definitely a good place to start. I would recommend flying in an
open area to begin with to allow you to practice and avoid crashing. If you do
happen to like this drone then stick around to wait to see what models I
recommend next if you ever decide to upgrade.
