Syma x5uw review in Spanish (full analysis)

Syma is one of the most popular Chinese drone manufacturers for having a wide catalog of models highly recommended for novice or inexperienced users. One of its best models is the Syma X5UW, which offers a very aerodynamic design along with a gyroscope and other features focused on new users. Do not miss our analysis in Spanish.

First of all we thank TomTop for the trust placed in sending us the Syma X5UW for analysis.

Syma X5UW: technical characteristics

Syma X5UW: unboxing and design

The Syma X5UW comes in a fairly large cardboard box, dominated by white. We open the box and find a second box made of cork and inside which the drone is housed together with all the accessories, an excellent presentation that keeps the product very well protected so that it reaches the hands of the end user without damage. once we open the box we find the following:

1 - Drone Syma X5UW Wifi

1 - 4 channel 2.4Ghz remote control

2-3.7 Volt and 500mAh Batteries

1 - USB charger for battery

4 - Spare propellers

1 - Screwdriver

1-Holding clip for smartphone

1 - Manual

1 - SD memory reader

1 –Wifi camera module with a 4 GB Micro SD card

First of all we see the control knob with its attractive soft design, in the center we have the power button, we continue with the two four-way joystics and the four buttons on the back for some advanced functions such as the "Flip 3D" that It will make the drone flip in the air if we press it. On the back we see the cover for the four AA batteries (not included) and the anchor to place the clamp that will hold the smartphone.

The Drone Syma X5UW is presented in a quite vivid red color that immediately reminds us of the Ferrari, surely a wink from the manufacturer to boast of the speed that its drone is capable of achieving. The propellers and the landing gear are white and break a possible excess of red color. At the top of the drone we find the logo of the mara and the power button, both in silver. The LED lights are located at the bottom so that the drone is very attractive in case of flying at night.

Engine and propeller area details:

In the lower part of the body of the drone we find an anchoring system for the camera module and a four-pin connector for power and operation. We also see two little arrows that indicate the direction in which we have to turn the piece so that it is fixed.

We take a closer look at the camera module, it has a resolution of 1 MP and a slot to insert the memory card attached by the manufacturer. The camera has WiFi technology to be able to follow your vision directly from our smartphone, since the control knob has no screen. By being able to insert a memory card we avoid the need to save the videos and photos on our smartphone, something that could cause lag despite the fact that we have the option to do so if we want. The video recording resolution is 720p.

We leave you some samples of photos and a video taken with the drone's camera:

The Syma X5UW has a flat design that improves aerodynamics and allows it to fly longer, however its batteries are quite small with a capacity of 500 mAh so the flight time will be modest, about 8-10 minutes approximately what It puts it a bit above many of its rivals but it is not something to fire at. In our favor we have that the manufacturer has included two batteries so we can double in flight time, each battery takes approximately an hour to charge.

The batteries are inserted in the back of the drone, it is very easy since we only have to insert it and press lightly, to remove the battery we have to press a small white button.

The Syma X5UW has a 6-axis gyroscope for greater stability in flight, remember that it is a drome aimed at novice users. It also has a barometer that allows us to use the "Altitude Hold" mode or altitude control that will keep you flying at a fixed height above the ground. Another function aimed at inexperienced users is the " Headless Mode" or headless mode that basically allows us to fly it without having to worry about the orientation of the device and the position of its head. The latter means that for example, if we move the joystick of the controller to the right, the drone always goes to the right regardless of its orientation. These functions also help us to more easily record the landscape.

Finally we highlight its “One Touch takeoff / landing” function that allows us to take flight and land with just the push of a button, so we can do it much smoother until we get used to doing it manually. Pressing the button while the drone is on the ground it will rise to a height of approximately 1.5 meters.

Syma GO app

Android and iOS users can benefit from the Syma GO application, it allows us to follow the drone's camera vision in real time as well as control it directly from the smartphone without the need for a remote control. It also has a function through which we can trace a route on the screen for the drone to follow.

Final words and conclusion

The Syma X5UW is the best drone that we can find on the market for novices, it is equipped with numerous technologies that we have described above and that make it a very stable and easy to handle device even for users who have no experience. Its flat design improves aerodynamics and reduces friction so that the battery consumption drops significantly and allows you to fly longer.

We recommend reading the best drones of the moment and cheap.

The Syma GO application for Android and iOS allows us to follow the camera's vision in real time and also offers us the possibility of operating the drone directly from the smartphone, although it is much more comfortable to do so with its included control knob.

We can find the Syma X5UW for approximately 85 euros in the TomTop online store, a very tight price for everything that the drone offers us and that makes it a highly recommended purchase. The store offers us the possibility of paying with PayPal and shipping without customs.
