Do you have any suggestions for getting a response from TomTop? I ordered this 'exclusive' version on May 25th and haven't received any information from them. Still says "processing" a week after payment was completed. No shipping notification and no response from any of the support email addresses.
@@sweetvona4221 its alright still does the job but if your looking for a drone with a good camera I suggest looking at DJI they sell good drones and Photography gear
Just got this in the mail today can't wait to learn how to fly with this one because I have a more expensive drone on the way which I'm waiting to fly until I know how to fly a drone completely manual. Awesome video thank you for the encouragement to purchase this quadcopter.
2:43 -- This is very strange. I did a teardown of this quad because when I looked into my mSD card slot, there is just nothing. I opened it up to see if maybe the mSD card holder had fallen inside the quad, but no, it was nowhere to be found. A friend of mine recieved this exact quad too, the XS809W and he has no mSD card slot as well. Yes, I double checked -- it's the Visuo XS809W. Here is a picture of my XS809W's internals... imgur.com/a/7kVXd
There are two different versions of the XS809W. The 720p version with SD card recording is available exclusively through TomTop here goo.gl/AMqJg2 There is also a lower cost 0.3MP WiFi version available from all vendors. It does not have a recorder, but still has an empty inoperative SD card slot. This is the one that I suspect that you have goo.gl/mnlTvN
Every now and again I see an add for a drone somewhere so I pop over to google type in the model for a review. Then I get a still image of you tube videos side by side..I'm hoping as I pick one I hope it's quadcopter 101 as I've seen quite a few of your reviews and trust your opinion... Incidentally I usually spot your review from the landscape in the Google snap shot.. Thanks Roy
Hi...i recently got this..on the back of the box i see that my model marked is XS809H W-HD & not the W-HD-G. Can you please tell me the difference between the W-HD & the W-HD-G model. Does "G" stand for gravity as in for Height Hold mode. Im afraid aliexpresss sent me the wrong one.
The concept is good ... kind of a mini copy of the DJI Mavic. Glad that it is not altitude hold, and it does seem to fly fairly well for a toy grade quad. The video doesn't have any Jello, which is nice, and the color saturation is good and stable. Resolution is right for 720P (equivalent to an 808 Keychain #16 V3 cam). Now for the things I don't like. Of course, #1 is the proprietary battery. Still, that's not really a "deal breaker", since spares are available and not over priced ( $7.39 ea. for a 900mah 1S isn't bad). #2 is that you must control the camera via a Wi-Fi app. I will look to see if they have a version where the camera buttons on the TX DO work. #3, which was the most glaring, was the frame drops in the 720P record mode off your sdcard. Now, that could be because of a poor quality sdcard, but it also could be because of the camera. I'd say it has potential. You didn't test to see what happens if you shut the TX off. Do the motors stop after 3 seconds or do they continue to run? You also didn't test the "motor kill" button, which is important for a brushed motor quadcopter. I also worry about the ease with which dirt got into the gears (a killer for brushed motors) and the ruggedness of the folding arms (how many deployments until contacts wear out or the wires to the motors break?) Will have to look at some other reviews to see what others have found on it, and explore if there's a version with a camera you can control from the TX . Thanks for the review .. nice to watch on a rainy day in Ohio. Cheers!
You seem to handle that drone like a pro. I just ordered this as my first ever drone but I'm wondering if it might be a little too steep of a learning curve for a first-time flyer (ie. to not write it off on my first flight lol). A few guides I read suggested starting out with a cheaper, and much more noob-friendly RTF (not that it gets much cheaper than the £34 I snapped it up for in a "flash sale") but I guess we'll see...
The free tutorials on the following site might help. Here are just a couple examples (best viewed on computer) quadcopter101.blogspot.com/2014/12/quadcopter-flight-school-4-horizontal.html quadcopter101.blogspot.com/2014/02/flight-school-6-distance-flying-keeping.html
In this video is the recording from the SD card or recorded via WiFi? I've read so many things saying that if you record via WiFi,it will not look like 720p. In this case,it doesn't look like 720p because things are too grainy and not true 720p clear. Thank you for your time as I'm considering buying one of these from banggood.
Wonder if it would be possible to replace motors with brushless + ESC, with an APM main board for GPS. A new controller with receiver. could make a very tidy little folding drone with upgrades
The phone grip is that gray bar on the front of the controller. Flip it upward to open it. And my video should help you get in the air faster than the user manual.
Good morning, I have this drone, but so far I have not been able to charge his battery, I received the drone on May 30, and I only flew with him for about 2 mins, which was the battery he was carrying. I tried to charge the battery in the computer, but the cable light does not light, can you charge the battery in the computer? How long did it take? I hope you can help me. thank you
The computer port that you are using may not have sufficient power output. Try a different USB port on your computer. Better yet is to use a phone charger with USB output port.
101 is right. You need a minimum of USB 2 to charge. Full charge takes around 4 hours. SD card . . it appears my version of it records directly to the smart phone that is attached to the controller. If you look at the controller, there is a grey bar on the front. That lifts up to enable a smart phone to be attached. Viewing via the attached smart phone doesn't prevent you piloting the quad from the controller. In fact, they recommend you use it until more experienced. ps For the auto take off to work, quad has to be on a flat, level surface for safety reasons.
I am thinking of buying the Zealot “f”, which I think is the same as your visuo. In your visuo, how do you download the video if recording to the app? Looks like a good camera drone for the money spent.
Great vid, thanks for sharing. It looks like you can center the throttle stick. If so, will it "simulate" Altitude-Hold? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work
No it wouldn't. You'd need to find the sweet spot where it's no longer climbing or descending. Buy it doesn't matter anymore, as they no longer make the non altitude hold version shown in this video. All XS809's currently include altitude hold. Here's the altitude hold version th-cam.com/video/S1ELTZfT0XE/w-d-xo.html
Nope, not that I know of. It was a very limited run, with TomTop as the sole distributor. And not even TomTop has the non altitude hold version anymore.
Hi, thanks for your video reviews, I need an advice, I want to buy a foldable drone, which one do you prefer the most between this one and the FQ777 FQ02W (also reviewed by you) . thanks in advanced and regards from Madrid, Spain.
And don't forget this one th-cam.com/video/tu9Pt_p7qv0/w-d-xo.html But I think that the XS809W is the best of the three. When shopping, be very careful to make sure that you're getting the 2MP 720p version, as there is also a lower cost, lower resolution 0.3MP version being sold.
Hi there.. if I don't really care about maneuverability and sportiness, and only concern with using this quadcopter to take selfies, won't altitude hold be an important/essential feature that I must have? Any idea when the newer mode XS809HW with altitude hold will be out? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Yes, altitude hold would be helpful for selfies. Some are already advertising the hw version, but no-one has them in stock yet. And unfortunately I have not heard any word when it will be release.
Found it here: www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-VISUO-XS809C-2MP-Wide-Angle-HD-Camera-4CH-2-4G-6-Axis-High-Hold/32810282118.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.264.y89wjf
Hello there , your TIANQU XS809W review is pretty good :) , I was wondering if i can cut a few parts of the video in order to make a top 5 drone list on my channel? will surely give credit in the description and even inside the video if you want. Thank you.
Mine just got delivered today 😃 first flight was going well until it flew into a tree! Got stuck and had a bit of a nightmare trying to get it out. No damage other than one prop guard it seems. However when trying to fly it now using auto take off it just goes to the side and doesn't get off the ground. Do I need to recalibrate somehow? Thx
good video, can you tell me what is the radius you recomend to fly that drone? what is the max elevation the dron can take and why doesnt land by itself by pressing the landing buton. i just bought one from wish app, its 1080p and i pay for it 50 bucks including shipping. what do you think about it. thanks.
Centered left throttle joysticks are only found on drones with altitude hold feature. The XS8009W is an early version that did not have the altitude hold feature. However the more recent versions of this drone all now have altitude hold with centered joysticks.
do you think it's durable for beginner? which one is better; Syma X5UW (with alt hold) or this or XS809HW (with alt hold). i think alt hold is good for beginner (just like driving manual vs automatic). thanks for sharing great videos.
I think altitude hold creates problems for beginners as they become dependent on it (same with headless mode). If you intend to ever try out FPV racer quadcopters, you'll have an extremely hard time transitioning to them.
for 50e is looks awesome, what is the max speed and hight of this drone? can it do tricks like normal racings fvp drone? i hawe radio pult fatshark i thibk dont remember the name, can i conect that pult?
About 80 meters range. This is not a racing drone, nor acrobatic drone. It is mainly meant for new fliers as a learn to fly quadcopter, along with use as a aerial video quadcopter. It will not work with Fatshark or other 5.8Ghz FPV goggles as it uses WiFi for image transmission. However, it may work with cheap VR phone goggles.
Is this a good drone for the price range, what are some better drones for a similar price? I always want the best with my money Im looking for 1 with a camera,
Doesn't look to bad actually.. the compact/foldable functionality is cool but I wonder how it feels and if it would eventually get loose. Little bit O'jello though 😕 honestly I still have difficulty understanding why they even make these quads when hey have the jello like some do. I mean do they think people will see the videos and say "oh I want that one with the vibrating camera!" I know people will say just balance the props, bit who wants to do that? Nice vid as always Q.
Hey there, Thx for the video. I got the same quadcop but like you the "TAKE OFF" and "LANDING" buttons the controller don't work. Did you find any ways to make them work? Thx
They only work for the Altitude Hold XS809HW version th-cam.com/video/S1ELTZfT0XE/w-d-xo.html But if you have the original non altitude hold version XS809W, be thankful. That is a much more maneuverable and sporty flier than the altitude hold version. The 2MP XS809W is also now out of production, and very hard to find.
hello hello its me again, should I purchase did drone or go for x8 skyhunter. I am taking ur advise to purchase a drone w/c cheaper but this is the chepeast drone that I can find in our loc. shipping is free
Yes it is, as long as you don't depend too much on the FPV video. The following two tutorials should help get you up to speed fast. th-cam.com/video/8_JarhVoq1A/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qdYTCfjUVVo/w-d-xo.html
Hey dude According to you which one is better drone in Camera quality, high speed, flight time & better control on hower??? Visuo xs809hw JDRC jd20 Xiangyu xy017 hw Please help me out am in a big confusion between these.
Hi! New subscriber here! Great channel!! So is this the best option for a toy quad with FPV in the 50-60 dlls range? or what would you recommend? I love the DJI design, but I want to have the best bang for the buck. Thanks!!
This is pretty good for those looking for a low cost camera quadcopter. But am not so sure as a beginner's learn to fly quadcopter. Beginner's crash, crash hard, and crash often as they learn what not to do. Because of this, I always recommend the Syma X5C for new fliers, due to its excellent stability, durability, and ease of flying. And it even has a camera too. Use it to learn the basics of flight with. Let the cheap Syma X5C take the inevitable crashes and bangs of a beginner flier. And if you break it, every part on it is cheap, widely available, and easily replaceable. Later as your flying skills improve and you're not crashing as much, then consider something better/more expensive. th-cam.com/video/y93vzA-KRlM/w-d-xo.html
How do you arm it? Mine seems not to even set up the connection with joystick anyhow. Did everything as manual told me to, but nothing happend after tilting up, down the height stick, no auto-take off, and no engines running, trying to tilt downwards-inwards both sticks didn't help either.
I don't even know when my battery is fully charged because the red led is blinking once I plug the usb cable in, just for a millisecond, then disappears. It can sit for an hour or 2, but nothing happens, when I plug back the battery to the drone it runs for about 30 seconds, then turns off, the wifi signal isn't appearing at all. I think that they've just sent me a faulty battery and I have to replace it (Tomtop, I mean).
+kondziu124 yeah sounds like battery hasn't been charged. Plug in the charger without the battery to verify that power is actually going to the charger. Then plug in the battery to the charger.
The power is going thru it as it's working when I plug it into my phone and charge it, the red light is still and visible, but just when I plug it into the battery, all things I mentioned above happen.
Are you using the mini USB cable that came with it to charge it? Also, as this battery is somewhat larger than your phone's battery, I would recommend using a wall charge with at least 2 Amp power to charge the battery, You could be waiting a very long time to charge using a phone 500mah chargers, or your computer USB port, to charge it. Wall charger's are cheap on Amazon.
Where can I find more batteries for the Visuo XS809W. I have looked everywhere and can't find them. I just want to have spares just in case and to be able to fly a bit longer.
Difference in price for the importer brands. You got to give them their profit for waiting the three weeks for their shipment of Visuo's to arrive from China . Also the added cost of repackaging the product in boxes with their brand name on it ;-)
Hi Rick, I like this for a folder ( but I'm new at this ) and I really liked it on the Jumper T12 transmitter. Try the Bayang X16AH protocol and pretty much the X16 map but I had to put a max input on channel 12 to arm it, and a max input on ch13 to get it to shut off gracefully and haven't figured out auto-land. The alt hold version does auto take off inputting ch12 to arm with throttle midpoint. So if you get bored bind this or the HW .
Hi thare, i bought one of these 720p, at the link it says that he has altitude hold, but i'm confuse, couse my model isn't X809HW, just x809W... I'm waiting it tô arrive, but i would like tô know it... Thank u so much!
Hello, I just got this drone, how are you suppose to charge it? I thought this drone has Li-po battery, but NO charger was included and it looks that it does not have overcharge protection system built into the battery which is really dangerous for a li-po. However, after some research, I found some sources say that the battery is lithium-ion, but the product advertise it as Li-Po. I am really confused with this information. Would you mind answering my question? Thanks.
It uses a 3.7V 900mah "LiPo battery goo.gl/9mZ3SS On the side of the battery is a microUSB port for charging the battery. You should have also received a microUSB charging cable with overcharge dongle goo.gl/VErSuq Recommend searching through your package again for this cable. If it didn't come with your package, recommend contacting your vendor's customer service to see if they can provide another. It shouldn't be a problem, as it is a common and very inexpensive part.
If the unit controls via WiFi (using a phone), does it also control via WiFi with the controller? Or does it ALSO have a conventional 2.4ghz receiver (non-WiFi)? After flying a Parrot, I'm pretty clear that not only is using a phone bad, but using WiFi is useless too.
With or without SD card Slot : On TomTop site they have answer to this question : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question :What kind of memory card your using this drone? (By Jojo Brillantes May 14, 2017 16:42:48) Answer :Only stored on the phone (Reply By Customer Service Center May 15, 2017 07:40:26) So even at the Tomtop site, with the 2MP 750p version, the XS809W don't have any SD card Slot. May be a next version because on the user Manual, they speak about the insert of the memory card !!
Yes, I can confirm the 720p version available here, and only here ( *no other site has this version* ) goo.gl/AMqJg2 has a working microSD card slot for recording the 720p HD video. But you'll need to start and stop the recording using the app's recording control, as the controller's video and photo control buttons are inoperative. Also remember to use the coupon LQPVXR for $10 off.

Nope, not that I know of. It was a very limited run, with TomTop as the sole distributor. And not even TomTop has the non altitude hold version anymore.
Before purchasing, recommend that you first verify with your vendor that it does not have altitude hold.
where in the high desert are you? i grew up in the antelope valley... looks like you are in the same area...
60 miles North in Ridgecrest.
@@Quadcopter101 spent many of days there for races! stay safe! subbed.
I have this version, and to make the land button work you need to be still in the air.
Hi, thanks for your video reviews, I need an advice, I want to buy a foldable drone, which one do you prefer the most between this one and the FQ777 FQ02W (also reviewed by you) . thanks in advanced and regards from Madrid, Spain.
And don't forget this one th-cam.com/video/tu9Pt_p7qv0/w-d-xo.html
But I think that the XS809W is the best of the three. When shopping, be very careful to make sure that you're getting the 2MP 720p version, as there is also a lower cost, lower resolution 0.3MP version being sold.
Thanks a Lot !
Hi great channel man! Can you recommend an alternative to the Syma X5c but which uses Syma X5c batteries?
Hi there.. if I don't really care about maneuverability and sportiness, and only concern with using this quadcopter to take selfies, won't altitude hold be an important/essential feature that I must have? Any idea when the newer mode XS809HW with altitude hold will be out? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Yes, altitude hold would be helpful for selfies. Some are already advertising the hw version, but no-one has them in stock yet. And unfortunately I have not heard any word when it will be release.
Found it here: www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-VISUO-XS809C-2MP-Wide-Angle-HD-Camera-4CH-2-4G-6-Axis-High-Hold/32810282118.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.264.y89wjf
Does the controller have a smart phone holder? Do you think it is powerful enough for a 808 or Runcam? thanks!
Yes to both.
Hello there , your TIANQU XS809W review is pretty good :) , I was wondering if i can cut a few parts of the video in order to make a top 5 drone list on my channel? will surely give credit in the description and even inside the video if you want.
Thank you.
If you give the following credit in the video itself "Video clip courtesy of Quadcopter 101 channel".
@@Quadcopter101 no problem , thank you!
Hey 101 did u ever do a review on the traxxas aton???
Anyone know of a manual for the App? Looks like a lot of features but I've yet to find any sort of manual or instructions to tell you what it can do.
Could you do,a,video showing how to do,flips with the hubsan 501s please
Mine just got delivered today 😃 first flight was going well until it flew into a tree! Got stuck and had a bit of a nightmare trying to get it out. No damage other than one prop guard it seems. However when trying to fly it now using auto take off it just goes to the side and doesn't get off the ground. Do I need to recalibrate somehow? Thx
Did you change a propeller after this happened?
hi no u need to replace the prop sounds like you had same problem as me i replaced the prop and it flys perfect again
good video, can you tell me what is the radius you recomend to fly that drone? what is the max elevation the dron can take and why doesnt land by itself by pressing the landing buton. i just bought one from wish app, its 1080p and i pay for it 50 bucks including shipping. what do you think about it. thanks.
Why does not the left jostick stay in the center?
Centered left throttle joysticks are only found on drones with altitude hold feature. The XS8009W is an early version that did not have the altitude hold feature. However the more recent versions of this drone all now have altitude hold with centered joysticks.
Is there a way to hide wings?
Video recording shows wings
Is it too heavy if I mount a go pro or an action camera on top of the drone? Will it be able to fly without any problems?
Nope, too heavy.
@@Quadcopter101 Thanks for the reply man.
do you think it's durable for beginner? which one is better; Syma X5UW (with alt hold) or this or XS809HW (with alt hold). i think alt hold is good for beginner (just like driving manual vs automatic). thanks for sharing great videos.
I think altitude hold creates problems for beginners as they become dependent on it (same with headless mode). If you intend to ever try out FPV racer quadcopters, you'll have an extremely hard time transitioning to them.
For video-recording drone, maybe its oke to learn with alt-hold (as beginner)? Is this build quality as durable as syma x5 series? Thank you.
I have one and it is a lot of fun to fly
What is changing time
for 50e is looks awesome, what is the max speed and hight of this drone? can it do tricks like normal racings fvp drone? i hawe radio pult fatshark i thibk dont remember the name, can i conect that pult?
About 80 meters range. This is not a racing drone, nor acrobatic drone. It is mainly meant for new fliers as a learn to fly quadcopter, along with use as a aerial video quadcopter. It will not work with Fatshark or other 5.8Ghz FPV goggles as it uses WiFi for image transmission. However, it may work with cheap VR phone goggles.
Is this a good drone for the price range, what are some better drones for a similar price? I always want the best with my money
Im looking for 1 with a camera,
This is one of the better cameras I've seen at this price range.
Quadcopter 101 what about speed and range. I don't really care about camera quality as long as it's ok to to see through. im a beginner
I have this one also.. Thanks fir the assist
Hai sir, is this serial number Xs809h w-hd-g The best of visuo?
Doesn't look to bad actually.. the compact/foldable functionality is cool but I wonder how it feels and if it would eventually get loose. Little bit O'jello though 😕 honestly I still have difficulty understanding why they even make these quads when hey have the jello like some do. I mean do they think people will see the videos and say "oh I want that one with the vibrating camera!" I know people will say just balance the props, bit who wants to do that? Nice vid as always Q.
Looks very stable but seems theres some kind of screen tear on camera
Hey there,
Thx for the video. I got the same quadcop but like you the "TAKE OFF" and "LANDING" buttons the controller don't work. Did you find any ways to make them work?
Thx
They only work for the Altitude Hold XS809HW version th-cam.com/video/S1ELTZfT0XE/w-d-xo.html
But if you have the original non altitude hold version XS809W, be thankful. That is a much more maneuverable and sporty flier than the altitude hold version. The 2MP XS809W is also now out of production, and very hard to find.
Quadcopter 101 Thx a lot mate. Much appreciated
hello hello its me again, should I purchase did drone or go for x8 skyhunter. I am taking ur advise to purchase a drone w/c cheaper but this is the chepeast drone that I can find in our loc. shipping is free
Hi I just got this drone for my birthday today is this a good one to learn on?
Yes it is, as long as you don't depend too much on the FPV video. The following two tutorials should help get you up to speed fast. th-cam.com/video/8_JarhVoq1A/w-d-xo.html

Visuo xs809hw
JDRC jd20
Xiangyu xy017 hw
Please help me out
am in a big confusion between these.
Which of the two is the best JJRC H11WH vs VISUO XS809HW
Visuo
Yo tengo este drone, pero quisiera la explicación en español. Gracias
Qual a atitude que ele alcança acabei de comprar um
I read its sensor G feature indicates it has altitude hold or something similar. True?
No, this quad does not have altitude hold. I kinda like that actually. Makes it a much more sporty quad.
Ok, thanks.
please send link about where did you find this info that as of 5/19/2017, no quadcopter does anymore need FAA registration.
It happened back in May. Here you go www.google.com/search?q=drone+law+struck+down&oq=drone+law+struck+down
amazing video thank you sooo much!
Hi! New subscriber here! Great channel!! So is this the best option for a toy quad with FPV in the 50-60 dlls range? or what would you recommend? I love the DJI design, but I want to have the best bang for the buck. Thanks!!
This is pretty good for those looking for a low cost camera quadcopter. But am not so sure as a beginner's learn to fly quadcopter. Beginner's crash, crash hard, and crash often as they learn what not to do. Because of this, I always recommend the Syma X5C for new fliers, due to its excellent stability, durability, and ease of flying. And it even has a camera too. Use it to learn the basics of flight with. Let the cheap Syma X5C take the inevitable crashes and bangs of a beginner flier. And if you break it, every part on it is cheap, widely available, and easily replaceable. Later as your flying skills improve and you're not crashing as much, then consider something better/more expensive. th-cam.com/video/y93vzA-KRlM/w-d-xo.html
Quadcopter 101 I like the syma x5c but does it have FPV? I just want to see what the drone sees, and try a little FPV flying, nothing pro, just fun.
when recording its load and who wants to see the blades in the video for me its a no
I kind of like it..it help me fly some how..
How do you arm it? Mine seems not to even set up the connection with joystick anyhow. Did everything as manual told me to, but nothing happend after tilting up, down the height stick, no auto-take off, and no engines running, trying to tilt downwards-inwards both sticks didn't help either.
Not arming is usually caused by the quadcopter's battery not being fully charged.
I don't even know when my battery is fully charged because the red led is blinking once I plug the usb cable in, just for a millisecond, then disappears. It can sit for an hour or 2, but nothing happens, when I plug back the battery to the drone it runs for about 30 seconds, then turns off, the wifi signal isn't appearing at all. I think that they've just sent me a faulty battery and I have to replace it (Tomtop, I mean).
+kondziu124 yeah sounds like battery hasn't been charged. Plug in the charger without the battery to verify that power is actually going to the charger. Then plug in the battery to the charger.
The power is going thru it as it's working when I plug it into my phone and charge it, the red light is still and visible, but just when I plug it into the battery, all things I mentioned above happen.
Are you using the mini USB cable that came with it to charge it? Also, as this battery is somewhat larger than your phone's battery, I would recommend using a wall charge with at least 2 Amp power to charge the battery, You could be waiting a very long time to charge using a phone 500mah chargers, or your computer USB port, to charge it. Wall charger's are cheap on Amazon.
Where can I find more batteries for the Visuo XS809W. I have looked everywhere and can't find them. I just want to have spares just in case and to be able to fly a bit longer.
*Battery available here* goo.gl/vXw0mc
Is there a difference when it comes to the make of the unit (Auorax, Flypro, Realacc)? Also what's the difference between XS809W and XS809HW? Thanks
Difference in price for the importer brands. You got to give them their profit for waiting the three weeks for their shipment of Visuo's to arrive from China . Also the added cost of repackaging the product in boxes with their brand name on it ;-)
As always, thank you and Happy New Year!
I use to love Altitude hold, but now I think it's restrictive of what you can really do with your quadcopter.
Is the video quality useable for small TH-cam project
Dose it have to be fisheye?
Hello. Is this the version with 0.3 megapixels camera? Thanks in advance.
No, this is the 720p 2MP version available here goo.gl/AMqJg2
Hi Rick, I like this for a folder ( but I'm new at this ) and I really liked it on the Jumper T12 transmitter. Try the Bayang X16AH protocol and pretty much the X16 map but I had to put a max input on channel 12 to arm it, and a max input on ch13 to get it to shut off gracefully and haven't figured out auto-land. The alt hold version does auto take off inputting ch12 to arm with throttle midpoint. So if you get bored bind this or the HW .
Hi thare, i bought one of these 720p, at the link it says that he has altitude hold, but i'm confuse, couse my model isn't X809HW, just x809W... I'm waiting it tô arrive, but i would like tô know it...
Thank u so much!
Hello, I just got this drone, how are you suppose to charge it? I thought this drone has Li-po battery, but NO charger was included and it looks that it does not have overcharge protection system built into the battery which is really dangerous for a li-po. However, after some research, I found some sources say that the battery is lithium-ion, but the product advertise it as Li-Po. I am really confused with this information. Would you mind answering my question? Thanks.
It uses a 3.7V 900mah "LiPo battery goo.gl/9mZ3SS
On the side of the battery is a microUSB port for charging the battery. You should have also received a microUSB charging cable with overcharge dongle goo.gl/VErSuq
Recommend searching through your package again for this cable. If it didn't come with your package, recommend contacting your vendor's customer service to see if they can provide another. It shouldn't be a problem, as it is a common and very inexpensive part.
is it the shadow of the elisi?
If you use the app on your phone it has altitude hold. I wish people would read the directions or look at the app before they go make these videos
nick poverman what about the auto take off and land. And what is headless mode
I've used one of these drones through our JROTC program. These drones motors seem to burn out and just. Stop working after a while
very bad video quality 720 p ? nah...

If the unit controls via WiFi (using a phone), does it also control via WiFi with the controller? Or does it ALSO have a conventional 2.4ghz receiver (non-WiFi)?
After flying a Parrot, I'm pretty clear that not only is using a phone bad, but using WiFi is useless too.
Conventional 2.4 Ghz control via the controller.
With or without SD card Slot :
On TomTop site they have answer to this question :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question :What kind of memory card your using this drone? (By Jojo Brillantes May 14, 2017 16:42:48)
Answer :Only stored on the phone (Reply By Customer Service Center May 15, 2017 07:40:26)
So even at the Tomtop site, with the 2MP 750p version, the XS809W don't have any SD card Slot.
May be a next version because on the user Manual, they speak about the insert of the memory card !!
I'll alert my TomTop sponsor regarding the issue. The person answering on their site may not know.
So you confirm that the 2MP 720 Version has really the Sd Card slot?
In that case I 'll buy it.
Yes, I can confirm the 720p version available here, and only here ( *no other site has this version* ) goo.gl/AMqJg2 has a working microSD card slot for recording the 720p HD video. But you'll need to start and stop the recording using the app's recording control, as the controller's video and photo control buttons are inoperative. Also remember to use the coupon LQPVXR for $10 off.
hallo how many minutes the battery in fly?
Nice! Anything like this with 1080p recordering?
Sure. Mavic Pro. Also has 4K resolution ;-) But you could also attach a Mini Mobius to this.
Where can I buy parts like battery and spare parts?
