SNAPTAIN S5C Drone with camera test

The SNAPTAIN S5C drone with camera is a really hot piece. The copter with 4-propeller drive not only looks good, but is also equipped with high-quality technical refinements.

Although the HD camera only has 720P, it captures many targets in the area without any problems. It also has amazing features and additional functions such as intelligent voice control, headless mode and 360 degree flips.

There is a lot to be said for this drone, it has cool safety features that are particularly suitable for beginners and is easy to control. The price is also damn reasonable.

Technical functions

Rare in this price segment, but still present in the Snaptain S5C drone, is a FPV real-time video transmission. This means the drone transmits an FPV signal to your smartphone, from where you can watch the recordings from the ego perspective.

For beginners, this part is great, not only is the Snaptain S5C super cheap, but it also has some cool modes, including the headless mode, where the drone can fly regardless of the orientation of the head. This means that if you move the joystick forward, the quadrocopter will always move away from you, no matter how the head is aligned.

With a switch you can also set different speed levels. The copter then makes you clear via signal tones which level you have just selected. Just pay attention to the following signals:

• Low speed: single beep
• Average speed: 2 beeps in quick succession
• Highest speed level: 3 signal tones in quick succession

Size, design and weight

The size of this quadrocopter is quite average. In total the dimensions are the following: 35 cm x 24 cm x 8,5 cm.

The weight is about 155 grams, a light weight, so we recommend that you fly this model only when there is no wind or indoors. Gusts of wind can throw the copter quite a bit out of the flight path.

Camera, memory and FPV live image transmission

An advanced 720P HD camera with several lenses is installed for optimal image and video sharpness.

The images can be transmitted live to your smartphone as mentioned above. A Micro SD card can be inserted into the quadrocopter on which all recorded contents are then stored.

Battery and flight time

In the scope of supply there are 2 accumulators, so you have longer something from flying, because the flight battery can be simply exchanged. When fully charged, the battery lasts for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Flight Stabilization

Thanks to the integrated gravitational sensor, the drone can easily hover automatically or counteract light gusts of wind.

However, if you want to fly outside in high wind speeds, we would rather advise against it.
