If I understand correctly you are getting much better range when using X8C's transmitter instead of the original one. However, I am already getting exceptional range with the transmitter I got with the drone - the range is more than 275 m (more than 900 ft). That is the range I am getting...

Thank you very much for the info. I ordered one Eachine H8, AKK S2 camera with transmitter and RC832 Plus receiver to try both acro firmware and short range FPV flying but I will sure buy more quadcopters and I will certainly check the ones you mentioned. Eventually I will try to make my own...

Or maybe there is? Today I received a new Syma X5(C) PCB v6 and there are CLOCK, DATA and RESET pads at the bottom of PCB. I ordered a new PCB because I couldn't activate the camera, here is more details. Here are the pictures of PCB v6:

Hi, I am aware this is an old thread but this is the only one where I can find the description of a similar problem I have with my Syma X5. Could you please tell which board you have? I have PCB v6 and a transmitter with a blue LED and the problem is very same - I can't activate the camera. I...

Today I received new v6 PCB and I've just confirmed the camera SIGNAL can not be generated using transmitter with a blue LED and board version 6. However, according to this thread, blue LED transmitter is the only one that can be used with v6 PCBs - which would mean camera can not be used with...

Eachine H8 mini costs $10 but people still developed alternative firmwares. I see the main advantage of flashing the quadcopter with alternative firmware being able to practice flying in acro mode without risk to crash an expensive drone.

I am surprised because community spent many hours reverse engineering far less popular devices than Syma X series of quadcopters. Absence of in circuit programming contacts on PCB, locked microcontroller and even encryption circuitry didn't stop people from developing alternative firmwares for...

Although there aren't ISP pads on the Syma's PCB (as there are on e.g. Eachine H8's PCB), it would be rather trivial to solder tiny wires directly to the microcontroller's pins to flash some alternative firmware - if one existed. Another way would be to program a brand new NuMico Mini51 and to...

I'd like to do the same but unfortunately I couldn't find any open source firmware for X5C boards so I decided I will try to make one (AVR based) from scratch but that will going to take some time. In the meantime I ordered Eachine H8 that could be flashed with open source firmware (an ARM...

The same happened to me with X5 when I replaced the motor holders with gears. The gears were very low quality and the flight time with Turnigy nano-tech 750 mAh dropped from 9 minutes to 50 seconds :-) After putting back the old gears the flight time was as before. When the drone was new the...

I have Syma X5 with board v6 and today I received the camera but I could't start the recording or take a photo. After checking the camera's PCB everything looked well so I opened the drone and soldered the wires to the PCB pads for yellow (SIGNAL) and black (GND) camera connector. From what I...

I got the communication working with symarx library but had to disable frequency hopping. Is it possible the v6 board with such an improved range doesn't use frequency hopping? Or the algorithm for precalculating the channels used bay the remote is wrong and after disabling frequency hopping I...

Hi all, my first post here. I was flying flight simulators since ZX Spectrum back in the 80s so i decided to try to fly some beginner quadcopter. For $28 I bought Syma X5 (not X5C) with the transmitter + charger, spare blades, 5 in 1 charging cable, battery and a screwdriver - I thought this...
