Question 1

Could this copter life a mounted GoPro? Thanks

Accepted Answer

I would say this may not be a good idea, and I will explain why.It is hard to say... A GoPro can be fairly heavy for some quadcopters. This quadcopter uses the same gears and motors as the Syma X1 but with an improved reciever board, and high-end firmware(Syma X1 parts work as good replacement parts).Its external plastic protective shell gives it stunning looks, durability, and visibility. However, the shell also is very heavy, and subtracts from what the quadcopter's lift capacity as well as altitude, and mobility due to aerodynamic drag. The point of this quadcopter is to mimic the DJI Phantom II with a more affordable model for those people who do not want to pay $2,000 USD.WEIGHT SPECS;I purchased the Syma X5 without a built-in camera, and attached an #808 keychain camera which weighs 16 grams, and it causedthe quadcopter to lose some stability, however with less aggressive flying the gyro keeps it fairly stable.A standard GO-PRO camera however, is 73.7088 grams. As you can tell, this could cause the quadcopter's performance to suffer greatly.My best recommendation is to purchase the 808# keychain camera from Amazon, it is available for less than $10.00 USD, very lightweight, andeasily fits against the bottom or top of the quadcopter without obstructing any blades. Tape or hair ties hold the camera in place snugly,and the quadcopter is so stable that it won't cause too much vibration on video.Thank you for taking your time to read this, and have a nice day.P.S. Hubsan X4 batteries are compatible with this drone and cost little. It is a good idea to charge a few before going to the park.Sincerely, Rei.
