I love these small pocket drones. They get better and better all the time and this one from Syma is no different. It has all the features and a couple of more than all the bigger toy grade drones have. With flips, altitude hold, headless mode, one-touch take off/land, flight plan mode, multiple speeds, and an FPV 720p camera when used with the Syma Fly or Syma Go app on your phone or tablet.
It comes with a controller, but you can also fly this just using the app on your device if desired. It also comes with two proprietary batteries and charger that will give you about 10-12 minutes of flight time between the two or longer if you don’t use the camera. Just let the motors rest a few minutes in between to let them cool off so they last longer.
You will need 4 AA batteries to use the control and they are not supplied. Flying via the app works but is the harder of the two ways to fly this. I prefer to use the controller and to feel the sticks under my thumbs. This drone is small and lightweight and flies great indoors once calibrated and trimmed but can be flown outdoors on a no wind to a very light wind day.
The video, photos, and FPV are not bad for a pocket drone and the flight is smooth and easy to control. These smaller drones normally are a little harder to control when you first fly them because the control is so darn touchy and quick. You just move the stick a little and the drone seems to take off too fast in that direction. Start in the low-speed mode until you get a hang of it, then move up in speed.
I think you or your kids will love flying this Syma X22W once you get the hang of it. Just remember, it’s small and will go 100-150 feet away with no problems, but at that distance, you pretty much can’t see it. So, keep it close and you should have no problems flying it or it is flying away on its own.
