Syma X8HW FPV

Hi,
I have the Syma X8HW. The android app doesnt connect to the drone camera, it connects fine to the drones wifi network. I also get the wifi icon on the controller flashing. i just get the blank screen

My phone is a rooted/unlocked LG Nexu 5x.

It connects fine with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet

The GoPro streaming app works fine which uses WiFi to connect to the camera.

 

Seems to be ok now, not sure why, might be the way I set it up/start up sequence.

 

I'm now waiting for some good weather to fly the drone, i took it up and down for a few seconds when I went to buy it (second hand) and then another time but it was too windy. Every time I get home from work its getting dark and the weekends' weather is too windy or wet.

Thats winter for you I guess...

 

Funny that, just got one of these too, it works fine with my old iPhone 4s but I cannot get a picture at all on my iPhone 5s

 

It was to do with my phone. It came up with a message to say no internet connection, do I want to stay connected. I said yes and it worked.

 

After uninstalling and reinstalling the app this morning it now works with both phones, for £84 it's not a bad wee drone

 

I paid 100AUD second hand, it's going well and built will

 

Had my first fly-away, did a forward roll at about 20m altitude and the aircraft dipped down and flew back up to height again, when a gust of wind hit it and Whoosh it was off going sideways, trying to bring it back to me would only hold it still against the wind when it got to a construction crane in my street that was time to bring it down... also the battery was starting to go flat, at this point the aircraft was about 300m from me and I lost sight of it as it came down. Last seen was Mr. Catt running up the road looking for his drone
While looking for it Mr.Catt realised that the aircraft was still in "beginner mode" and if he had switched it to normal then it would have been able to make headway against the wind, Mr. Catt felt like an idiot! Don't be like Mr. Catt

Anyway, the guy that is building a new house - hence the construction crane - had found the aircraft and placed it on the path beside his house so Mr. Catt got his toy back Had a nice chat with the neighbour, apologised and thanked him for his help.

 

Think about buying this drone for my friend, he wants to try his hand in flyng a drone)

 

It's a nice easy drone to fly with it's stabilisation and altitude hold, mind you it is not as easy to fly as one with GPS assist etc. but it is cheap and the camera is not too bad, not great but not too bad.
