Here's another inexpensive drone to help new pilots learn to fly. It includes a toss and fly capability. Just toss it in the air and away it goes. Find it here bit.ly/MJX-V1
Pros
- Very small and portable folding drone.
- Weighs only 73 grams and does not require registration in most countries.
- 0615 coreless brushed motors. Replacement motors should be easy to find if needed.
- 3.85V 730mah battery provides approximately 11 minutes flight time.
- Flight features include altitude hold, headless mode, flips, spin, circle fly, and toss and fly.
- Real time in-flight FPV video and photos can be viewed and recorded on your phone using the "M-Drone" app available on Google Play here bit.ly/MJX-M-Drone the Apple App Store here apple.co/3rLM6oX.
- The app uses common 2.4Ghz WiFi which will work with most if not all phones.
Cons
- This is an inexpensive beginner's learn to fly drone. As such, the camera is not the best. Although it records 1080p video at 20 fps, recorded video and photos appear to be electronically interpolated by the app from a lower resolution sensor (am guessing 720p).
- The included LiPo battery must be charged using the provided charger. Do not attempt to charge using a standard micro USB cable to prevent the chance of overcharging the battery.
