Overview of the Quadrocopter Syma X12 Nano

Introduction

The Syma X12 Nano quad­copter is an improved mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the pre­vi­ous­ly released X12 mod­el. The uni­ver­sal quadric from the Chi­nese man­u­fac­tur­er Syma Toys can fly every­where, at home and out­doors in calm weath­er. Due to its light weight and small size, it fits eas­i­ly in your pock­et, which allows you to always have it with you. The Syma X12 Nano quad­copter is the best ana­logue of the pop­u­lar Cheer­son CX10 and WLtoys V676 nano mod­els.

Appearance

Motors

The quad­copter is equipped with col­lec­tor-type motors. The devel­op­er does not spec­i­fy infor­ma­tion about per­for­mance. In prac­tice, they pro­vide exem­plary dynamism in the UAV occu­pied niche.

The dynamism of the quadro­copter is lim­it­ed by two speed modes “Low/High”.

Food

The quad­copter is equipped with a built-in 3.7V 100mAh lithi­um poly­mer bat­tery. In prac­tice, it pro­vides a flight time of no more than 4 min­utes (with the declared 5 min­utes). Charg­ing is done with the includ­ed USB cable. Charg­ing time is no more than 40 min­utes.

Control

The Syma X12 Nano comes with a 4‑channel remote con­trol oper­at­ing at a fre­quen­cy of 2.4GHz. Pro­vides a dis­tance of up to 30 meters in an inter­fer­ence-free area. Pow­er is sup­plied from 4 × AA 1.5V, pur­chased sep­a­rate­ly.

flight properties

Syma X12 Nano is no dif­fer­ent from oth­er ana­logues in its cat­e­go­ry. For this mod­el, we note the work of a 6‑axis gyro­scope, han­dling deserves respect, flips worked effort­less­ly. It shows max­i­mum dynam­ics at home, or on the street in com­plete calm, in the “High” mode.

Price

On var­i­ous trad­ing plat­forms, Syma X12 Nano is sold at prices rang­ing from $23–40.
