Tenergy Syma X20 Pocket Quadcopter (Tenergy Exclusive Black) Review

Color: Black

The X20 quadcopter from Syma is just another great quadcopter that Syma makes. They continue you keep making things better and better. I have other pocket or palm size quadcopters, but this one is the first to have all these features.

This one will make a wonderful beginner quad for anyone wanting to get started with a drone. Just the altitude hold would be enough to make this one great for beginners, but throw in the one touch take/land and the headless mode and this couldn’t get much easier to fly. They threw in the flip feature and low and high speeds just for your enjoyment as well.

It is also only about 4 inches by 4 inches in size, so very portable and easy to carry and take with you and to fly anywhere. The USB port on the back of it also makes it very easy to plug in and charge when needed and works with any standard mini USB charging cable. Everyone has one of those nowadays.

The transmitter is a little different than most that I have, but again, that makes it easier to carry and transport with you when needed. It’s only about a 1 inch thick and slides in a pocket or bag with no problems.

The battery is built-in and cannot be changed (bummer) and is only an 180mAh rechargeable battery that gives you around 5 minutes of flying time (I have gotten about 8 minutes out of it sometimes) depending on how hard you fly it. It does take about 20-30 minutes to recharge it each time.

This is also limited to about 66 feet of distance before the transmitter drops and you no longer have control. That isn’t bad as this is only four inches big and gets a little hard to see at that distance anyway. Specially which way is forward.

Overall this is the best mini quadcopter in this class of drones. This a great for both beginners and well-seasoned vets at flying drones. This also makes for a great indoor flier and should work well outdoors as well in very little to light winds.
