    I have been waiting for a Heli type drone for awhile. I really hope they see the interest and come out with a highly upgraded model with a better camera, better range, and more drone like features such as RTH and follow features. Maybe brushless as well. The camera can even be basic like the Holystone but at least adjustable angle

    Thank you for this video. That app was irritating me, but this video got me up and flying. Camera quality is crap, but the upgrades for it are not only cheap, but easy, as the camera is not even soldered onto the board, it is plug-mounted, so you can wire the new camera to the plug, and literally plug & play. Pretty rad little flyer, and durable too!! My first 2 flights showed me that the rotors just dont care about silly things like brick walls.... O.o Thank again!!

    Hi Lee I only have one problem with it, I have never liked wifi for video. It just has to much delay, but it does fly. You get what you pay for. I know it's a toy. Thanks again for the video and information about this little heli.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed, it is a way for them to make it cheaper as most of us have phones that will work with it. I'm with you on your other point too - I'd love a 'real' FPV setup as mentioned in the end of the video... Happy flying!

  • @MCsCreations

    I don't know, but I feel like the camera was a mistake. They could remove it and put the money in upgrading stuff like you mentioned. After all, it's a pretty low quality camera either way.
    Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

    Really appreciated the look at the internals and components, not just an overview demo. Thanks Lee.
    Would be great if Eachine offered an edition without the (include) radio with a common Rx protocol. The savings of not including the radio could be use to offer some optional features. The battery shape suggests it might be possible to 3d print a light landing skid the friction fits to help stabilize on landing. (better to break a simple 3d printed skid than needing a new propeller blade)

    Great review, thanks. As you mention, it would be nice with a bit better quality. I'd pay equivalently more. A 249gr version with HD video, tilt camera and possible open radio/video links would make me want to hit the "buy" button.

    nice model for a first dip into the world of rc flight, gives you a rough idea of what the hobby can do, them as you say most people then want more "advanced big boy/girl toys". question I keep forgetting to ask, is there a way to figure out what frequencies these operate on and use a multi protocol radio to fly them rather than the crappy tx thats comes with them? then the multi protocol tx would store the trims? thanks in advance Lee, stay safe
