Syma X8Pro?

[jc23]

Has anyone here seen anything about the "Syma X8Pro"? Syma's website has it featured as a new product on their website, however I am having some trouble finding any additional information on this quad or anywhere to order one. It shows that it has a remotely adjustable camera, GPS capability and a modular style battery. As a fan of Syma's products for budget minded quads, I am very interested to see more about this one. I own a couple X8's and if this one indeed has GPS, I would certainly add one to my fleet! Thanks all for any help you may share.

I own the great x5 and owned 2 X8'S at one point but could not really get into them. They just seem to be a little sluggish to me although nice and steady like the inexpensive X5. I got lucky and bought a broken one off of eBay for $20 that would not armed. I opened up the remote and saw a wire hanging off where it should have been soldered on. I fixed it and had two. I preferred the cheerson cx-20 to the X8, although that is not a fair comparison because the cheerson was a bit more expensive and had GPS. If you find out some info please post it.

Considering that more toy grade quads are now coming with brushless motors, Syma is overdue in upgrading the X8-series to this feature.

Purchased one recently
Camera and FPV app not functional on Samsung S5 phone
May have wasted money

There are a few early reviews on YouTube, and reports on the X8 Pro are not good.

Hey Jeff.............seems that the main problems are related to the GPS function. The toilet bowl hover and running away. A couple guys on a Syma Facebook group seem to have cured this problem. The GPS calibration has got to be done precisely............and what they have done is buy a cheap Lazy Susan from Walmart and use it to do the calibrations. So far they've reported good success with this method.
