JJRC H11D FPV Drone Flight Test Review

This FPV flier seems promising on paper, as it offers some very unique features, including a good performing FPV system, and a motorized lens system that can aim the camera's view up and down. Unfortunately, the design of its transmitter seems to be a problem, with much less range than advertised. Find it here

Pro's
- Great performing 5.8Ghz FPV systems, with self-powered 2MP FPV transmitter camera and self-powered screen. The system produces good FPV range and good and clear quality video signal. This system is very similar to the Syma X5C 5.8Ghz FPV upgrade system, which by itself is worth over $50.
- Unique FPV camera, with a remote controlled lens that can be angled up or down via signals from the remote control.
- The quadcopter itself is a great flier. It's light, aerodynamic, and includes high performance propellers. This combination makes it a very maneuverable quadcopter that at the same time can lift a significant payload, such as its FPV system.
- Unique motor installation design, allowing for very easy maintenance and replacement of its brushed motors.
- Great crash resistance. Easily withstood several very high crashes without a scratch.
Con's
- Vibrations are severe, and produce much camera jello.
- Very short range of the quadcopter's controller, at 30 to 50 meters. MUCH less than the advertised 120-300 meters.
- When the quadcopter loses signal, it maintains the last received input for approximately seven seconds. This causes the quadcopter to continue in flight uncontrolled, and possibly fly even further from the transmitter.
- Quadcopter must first be in headless mode for one key return to properly work.
