Syma X400 Mini Drone with Camera for Adults & Kids 720P Wifi FPV Quadcopter with App Control, Altitude Hold, 3D Flip, One Key Function, Headless…

 I own the X300 and X500 and thought I’d give this a go. Once you get into flying drones, it seems like each drone has it’s own purpose and feel. The X300 is a great entry level and the x500 is more of a pro-consumer level drone with features you find on the much more expensive DJI Mavic2. The X400 is snappy and fast! It’s smaller and lighter so I recommend taking your first flight in low to no winds so you an adjust the trim. That’s the process where if the drone is not hovering still when you let go of the joysticks, you can make micro adjustments while in flight so it will hover. It’s the first thing I do when I take off on any given day on any drone. The drone has a setting where you can fly it faster which I recommend for thrilling racing fun once you get used to the flight characteristics. The x400 also has a really fun single button barrel roll trick feature. So you can fly around and barrel roll like a veteran trick pilot. It’s quite fun and impressive! The drone comes with an extra battery so you can charge one while you fly the other. I use a quick charger battery pack and rotate batteries and my other 2 Syma drones. I fly it within line of site since it’s a bit smaller than the X500. I highly recommend taking this drone for a spin….quite literally. You won’t be disappointed. Check out the video attached so you can get an idea of the speed of this drone. And I’m not even flying on the fastest setting

Wow. This little drone it pretty fun! The instructions don’t mention it works with your phone. There’s actually an app (QR code for install in box) that lets you connect to the drone via WiFi and access the camera. The picture quality isn’t great but this is an entry level drone. I was also surprised how small the drone is as it fits in your hand. The drone comes with two batteries which is also a major bonus. It’s super easy to fly and my 5 year old neighbor can navigate it just fine despite the box saying 14 years +. I would totally recommend this drone!

 Love this little drone. So much fun’. Super easy to set up and go. I love that I can control it from my phone and that there is a decent camera on the drone itself.

The Syma X400 Drone is great for drone beginners. The box and packaging itself look great and the drone is plastered right on the front so that you know what you’re getting when you purchase it.
The package included 2 drone batteries (huge win!), an easy to understand remote, phone stand for that remote, charging cables, replacement rotors, rotor guards and of course an instruction manual.
A quick read from the manual gave me the information I needed to get the drone off the ground straight from the box without needing to charge the batteries. I was able to fly it inside without causing any damage and only light bumping that the rotor guards had no problems with. I had to recalibrate some settings so that the drone wasn’t moving while I was not moving it on the controller. The one key take off, altitude mode and headless modes are interesting settings to play with!
The drone can hold a charge for about 6 minutes of flying time – which seemed accurate and had a charging time of 90 minutes via USB. This made it very convenient to basically be able to fly the drone whenever I wanted throughout the day and automatically landed when low.
The camera and video quality is on the low end. It gives a live view to my phone via its own wifi which is great, but I am not sure if it hits the 720p as advertised and it is definitely not high definition. However, I expected this from a $60 drone as high quality camera equipment can cost thousands of dollars.
The app(s) were confusing, you need to be connected to the drone via wifi and then turn on the app before being able to control or see anything. However once in the app the controls are straightforward and the camera interface is functional.
All in all this x400 is a great beginner drone to LEARN with! If you want to get a feel for drone use before making a big purchase on something or teach an amateur how to fly one of these awesome pieces of technology then this is the one for you!
