This upgraded version of the X8HC focus on a new feature, the Altitude Holder, great for photography and videography purposes. In fact Syma’s new X8H serie models all have this feature, a feature which was only common on higher-budget drones. However, it seems that 2016 is the year of the low-cost Altitude Holder! If you want to check previous reviews from the new Syma models you can do it here Syma X8HG a WiFi FPV drone with a 0.3MP camera but with a 8MP Syma camera package version (available on Amazon) and Syma X8HW also a WiFi FPV drone but larger and with a 1MP camera. All great affordable options. Today we review yet another low-cost Toy Grade drone by this manufacturer, welcome to our Syma X8HC Review!
Many new features

Camera
Now let’s discuss Syma X8HC camera, unlike other previously reviewed drones Syma X8HG and Syma X8HW which came with a mount compatible with other cameras. Syma X8HC includes its own undetachable camera with no mount justifying its very affordable price. Camera is 2MP for photos and 1MP for video, not the best quality out there in the market but considering the price it’s reasonable. Photos are taken with just the push of a button on the 2.4 GHz remote, as well as record video. The real time video transmission (FPV) is done directly to your smartphone device through an application available for both Android and iOS. By making use of your device as a FPV screen, Syma was able to reduce the price cost of the product. Another good reason for its low price. Live video transmission is fairly good quality with a slight delay and ‘jello effect’. A great thing about Syma X8HC remote controller is the built-in phone holder for you to place your phone. Allowing a better FPV experience.

Bottom line
If you are here looking for an affordable drone featuring Altitude Holder which at the same time is easy to control and includes a decent quality camera, Syma X8HC is a very good choice for you and possible one of the only choices within this price range. Syma has done well focusing this new feature as it will surely be one of the most sought for features this year.
