Overview

Not built for outdoor flying, the SYMA X100 is an indoor beginner drone with a full propeller guard and infrared obstacle avoidance. It flies on a radio link and can also be steered with gesture control.

Altitude hold, obstacle avoidance and a full guard take away the usual stress of a first drone, and gesture control adds a hands-free way to fly. The limitation is the absence of an included-parts list and a stated control range.

Who it's for

Beginners who need a forgiving flier for living rooms and hallways, with a guard around the propellers. Experienced pilots, or buyers wanting range and video features, will outgrow it, and the listing gives no maximum range.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full propeller guard
  • Infrared obstacle avoidance
  • Altitude hold for steady hovering
  • Remote and gesture control
Cons
  • Box contents not itemized
  • Control range not listed
  • Indoor use only

Performance notes

Altitude hold lets a beginner leave height management to the drone, and the infrared sensor helps it respond to objects ahead. The guard shields the propellers on contact, and two batteries extend total flying time between charges. Flips are triggered with a single key.
