    Syma and NiHui compatible?

    upgraded to a NiHui U807 (Gearbest). still have the old Syma X5C. anyone know, are camera and battery compatible? I'm afraid I might mess up something if I just plug and play. I should have gotten the camera version but wanted the sale price, figured I could retrofit. (edit; camera plug is...

    Syma X5C 1

    trim / fine tune adjusts the quad so you don't have to keep using one of the joysticks. I use mine right off. each machine tends to have its quirks; I trim to get it as level as possible.

    New Flyer

    I think the Syma is a good starter unit. mine came with camera installed. I have to keep it oriented (green lights facing me) or I can't steer it. I lost one and almost lost other so I'm getting quick to pull back / down if it seems to be getting away. couple times I just dropped it and let...

    first time flyer

    here is sort of an example. the one pic (a buddy's neighbor) was taken at a normal angle, the second when I pitched back. can't see anything but trees but you can see (I think) how much further this angle gives the pic.
