Good Features of The Syma X3
Quadcopters like the Syma X1 and the Syma X3 are 4-axis quadcopter,very light weight with strong chassis frame,virtually indestructible flying outside especially over grass,with the adjustable gyro system performs very stable flight even in light wind outside.Views from Supernova (Bernie) from the forum thoughts about the X3 Syma Quadcopter.
Great Features of The Syma X3.
1/ Ease of battery change
2/ Almost unbreakable
3/ Ease of trim on all axis
4/ Works inside and outside
5/ Instructions are good and easy to understand
Some Bad Features of The Syma X3 Quadcopter.
1/ Very fast take off inside
2/ Transmitter a bit small for big hands
3/ Needs height to do flips a bit slow on recovery
Supernova review video below of the X3.
Thanks again Supernova for your video review,always well explained-Looking forward to more.
We have done a review also of the Syma X1 also a great entry into a cheap start off with a quadcopter from Syma factory.
Just some points I am looking at for the Syma X3.
- I noted the X1 remote remote will not work with the X3- open to comments on that.
- The remote is a new shape,doable but a bit small for my fat fingers,really good control tho with thumbs.
- Good point as repeated has a 2.4G remote which means you can fly out side in a very slight wind..I did a review of the Blade MQX which is much more expensive and really not for a beginner and triple the price so see the X1 and the X3 as a cheaper entry point to quads and are really neat to fly outside.
- My view is you need a few batteries for the X3.. found here some cheap batteries- on Amazon .
- I like the fact it is really light in weight and really hard to damage even props as has prop protectors.
- Seems to me no fakes out there like the Syma 107
- To bind to remote, turn on the quad, push throttle on remote to high then turn on remote, wait until beeps stop then push throttle back to low position, now ready to fly.
Would I buy the Syma X3 ?
Well yes I would, but I seem to prefer the SymaX1 as a bit more non protected on blades and prefer the battery used, but I get a bit pedantic ,so will be adding more to this review as I fly the X3 more and Supernova also about to review outside flying.
09/08/ Update
I must admit I am enjoying the X3 more, think it is because I have so many helis,quads that all have different remotes, some mode 1,others mode 2,so confusion comes in- Yes I now like the shape of the remote and learning to use just my thumbs, then I go and fly my two big Naza board quads with a Spektrum remote and takes me a few moments to relate to a different remote with fingers not thumbs, hope not confusing you guys?
Where To Buy.
I like Amazon.

We just got the X3 for Xmas, but till now we had no chance to see it fly.
We followed the instructions, loaded the battery and did the preflight steps many times.
Except for some medium fast flashing white lights on the quadcopter, we could not see any other reaction of the quadcopter. In the remote controll we have completely new batteries.
Have anybody an idea what is the problem? And how can we solve it?
Thanks
Peter
Sounds not binding to remote.Turn on X3, push throttle to high position then turn on remote, wait for beeps to stop then push throttle back to low position now should fly.
I have a gyroscope x3 that we got for our kids for Christmas and she went out to fly it today and it went up really high and went across the house and hit the road. It damaged a lot of parts on it. How do I get a hold of somebody to see about warranty?
Thanks,
David
Did you buy via Amazon? Think you might find it hard to be replaced under warranty because you crashed it.This is just my blog you need to approach the company you bought from-Thank you for comment
Ok Thanks,
Keep us posted how you go.
I bought the x3 gyroscope system for my son for Christmas it went in the air for not even the first charge then the remote won’t come on at all if anyone knows who please email me duboisrick@gmail.com
