The new range of Syma: We now control up

I love every day as companies continue to increase the functions of its drones. It is a joy, really. Today I will begin a series of three articles which want to review what three of the brands that raises more interest in the channel, in addition to the ones I like xD. These brands will Syma, JJRC and Hubsan. But let's start at the legendary and gave birth to Mundodron first: Syma RC Quadcopters.

Syma is known for certain characteristics have been introduced en masse in its product range, something I find interesting. maintaining the spirit of each of its drones, have been slowly adding and adding the above. We had the Syma X5c basic way, then added with FPV X5SW now discuss developments with Syma X5HW. This has been heho with most of its most popular drones, like the X8 and the way they have now taken the X54HW it intends to follow in the footsteps of his brothers.

The second generation of drones Syma is not that stressed too much, let's face it. Personally I did not think to give size with its new functions and FPV mostly headless ... well, it worked broadly. If you took interesting things like Syma X13 and stayed with his half-hearted X8G, which promised a real jump, but ... he stayed there. Now they committed to a role at all stupid and bland: height control, which if they develop it may be a sign of brutal differentiation.

The height control is something that many Chinese manufacturers have shelved their lower ranges. I understand that for economic reasons, but if Syma has struck a chord with a range of input does not exceed 50 euros and after sanding and do their FPV and headless works for extreme cases (which is the most interesting: When I really do not know where the head is) because I believe that new drone would recommend.

These features have been added to the existing range of X8 and the Syma X5, adding a new friend to all this: the Syma X54HW. The latter gives me contrary feelings ... first: It looks like a x5 but with worse distance control. Or so it seems reading your specifications. I see the great innovations or differentiation of this drone against its entry model Syma, maybe it is cheaper or lighter ... I do not know. Let's wait to have it and talk about it.

In short, I have hopes that they succeed to control mildly interesting height (I do not expect to be perfect, but at least you can try with margins of more underground, more or less. At least I seem best new developments in JJRC RC Quadcopters that I will now discuss next week, but I advance: a Wonderful musical drone?.
