Picked one of these up at target, I had the 2450 but could never get it to work correctly. This is a nice little GPS drone, GPS hold, RTH ,camera works great. Only issue I had was in my yard when I first started it, the battery went low and it shot off and landed on my roof. I think it was...

I am impressed with this little toy grade quad. I like to peek in these to see how they are built, and this thing is pretty nice. Carbon shafts supported by bearings, a nice long antenna, plug-in motors and led's for easy replacement and the 8 mm. motors have brass gears. It fly's great as...

Welcome, may the fun begin!

Is there any way to shield the quad from the wifi interference? back in the day when the QX350 was out they gave you a copper type shield for the go pro case.

I had expensive DJI stuff a few years back, I now have a dozen or so wifi fpv's and a few GPS lower end models. My Promark P70 is essentially the same as the Syma and I'm having loss of signal issues with that one, almost flew off a few times.

I fly airplanes as well, I invested 5 years and learned how to fly glow powered collective pitch heli' a while back and it really helps with the quads. If you get into a pinch with the quads the LOS skills will save you. I'm amazed at the ease of the technology now, people without any rc flying...

I always push down on the nose to get a directional, seems to work pretty good. I remember when we used to fly sailplanes up high, the argument was always "it's coming back, no its getting further out!" right up until it disappeared.

I have a crop of low end machines, Promark Shadow (works and flies wonderfully) a Vivitar Sky View 360 ( interesting machine, dual GPS, RTH, follow me, circle me etc. has a rubberlike shell to it), Sharper Image DX-4 flies super, couple of Sky Riders including the hex (these are amazing flyers...

I had one of these and had to return it, it would not connect to my phone. These are very nice GPS equipped drones, I whish my phone would have worked with it, these also have an autonomous mode for missions.

That's strange, I just throttle mine down and they stop in a few seconds? I have the Promark version (same drone) and love the thing. App works great and I get 400 ft. out and 400 ft. high no problem. I love cruising it, RTH always works great, and for a cheaper drone the camera is pretty good...

Back into drones after a few years, I used to fly higher end machines, I'm now fooling around with budget stuff, with all the advancements it's amazing what you can get now.
