Made of lightweight materials, the Syma X8 Pro has a total weight of 2.1kg with battery.

Design and Built-in

Syme X8 Pro Quadcopter will capture your attention from first sight. It has a unique professional design that makes it outstand the other drones at a similar price. Due to its sleeker and stylish design X8, Pro is one of the most flexible drones. It is perfect not only for beginners but also for more experienced users. 

The drone is made of high-quality ABS plastic that will offer it a longer resistance. It will also make the drone survive the small impacts that might occur. Also, you can enjoy flying this drone in darker areas also. The drone is equipped with some bright LED lights that will help you identify it easily. Syma X8 Pro Quadcopter is also well protected by its landing legs. They will offer a smooth take-off and landing to the drone. They will also protect the drone’s camera and the bottom side of it as well. 

Unpacking

Here’s what you will find in the Syma X8 Pro package:

  • Syma X8 Pro quadcopter without the camera
  • FPV camera
  • Remote control
  • Charger
  • Four propeller and propeller guards
  • SD card reader
  • Battery
  • Screwdriver and a small wrench
  • User manual

The X8 Pro is an improved version of Syma X8 SW, where it remained the same:

  • Camera: 720p video and 1 MP photos
  • Height control
  • Headless flight mode
  • A battery of 7.4 Volts of 2000mAh
  • Platform and dimensions

After all, let’s see what’s new with the Syma X8 Pro

The first and most important thing, we have GPS. The precision and safety will be the first, so the X8 Pro is able to return to the starting point with the help of the GPS with a single touch of a button, also in case of losing signal.

Another change from the previous model, the flight distance is improved. If the X8 SW has only 70 meters, the X8 Pro can reach 150 and 300 meters.

The simplicity with which you can use Syma X8 Pro is incredible, so it’s recommended for beginners, and even for kids under the supervision of an adult can learn the secrets of flying the drones. This may also be due to the fact that the Syma X8 Pro can be used with the smartphone via the available app.

X8 Pro Specs

Battery and flight time. 

One of the things that makes this drone so special is its modular elegant batteries. They have a very futuristic design being not only easier to use but also safer. Syma X8 Pro comes along with a 7.4V battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. It is a great battery that will offer you a continuous flight time of around 15 minutes. Therefore, if you are interested in a longer flight time we recommend you purchase more batteries. 

As we can see the Syma X8 Pro Quadcopter offers a great flight time. And by comparing it with the other drones at a similar price, this one is one of the best. Having a good flight time makes it a perfect drone for beginners, offering them a great time in practicing their piloting skills.

PROS:

  • GPS
  • Stability
  • Can carry an action camera

CONS:

  • No Gimbal
  • Brushed Motors

Syma X8 Pro Quadcopter offers a smooth and easy to control flight experience. The drone is very responsive to the commands offered by its remote controller. The only downside is that it features brushed motors. Brushed motors are good and they are doing their job, but are not as good as the brushless ones. 

A great aspect when it comes to flying this drone is that it has some intelligent flight modes. Intelligent flight modes are a great help for every drone user, offering better control over the drone. Follow me mode is one of these modes. Simply activate this mode and the drone will start following an abject at your choice. It will also maintain a decent distance from it. 

The flight path is another interesting mode that will make the drone follow a path designed by its user. The great thing about this mode is that the user can focus better on capturing the best footage. Without worrying about controlling the drone at all. X* pro has also many other impressive features such as: return home, automatic landing and take off, and many other very helpful features.

The maximum control range of this drone is 200 meters. It is a great range, similar to the ranges offered by the drones at a similar budget.

Those who have little experience will take about 1 minute to assemble this drone, this is again in the PRO category for those who are looking for an easy to assemble and ready to fly as fast as a possible drone. The remote control is also easy to use but it is advisable to read the user manual.

In the end

It will be hard to find a better drone at this price than the Syma X8 Pro, with GPS also included and its great quality. The aerial photos will not disappear too soon and with the X8 Pro, you have the opportunity to practice and take advantage of the simplicity and quality of this gadget.

If you want to purchase the Syma X8 Pro Quadcopter, you can find it on Amazon.
