JJRC H29G 5.8Ghz FPV Drone Flight Test Review

This little 5.8Ghz FPV flier is currently one of the best toy grade quadcopters for learning to fly FPV. It has a very bright FPV video screen that allows easy daylight viewing of real time in flight video. Its 720p video camera also produces relatively good video. Available from Banggood here
This should not be compared to the 509G with altitude hold, as that is a beginner flier's feature. Unfortunately people may and will become dependent on that feature, and not progress in FPV flying to be able to maintain altitude on their own using an FPV screen with no depth perception (similar to how some become dependent on headless mode). IMO the H29G is much better for intermediate fliers wishing to enter the world of FPV. This quadcopter is better for them to learn and practice FPV flying and altitude control with a 2D screen (it ain't as easy as some think ;-). It's better to make those learning mistakes and inevitable crashes with this lightweight/safe/relatively cheap quad than go straight to FPV racers and become discouraged.
And here is another demo flight. This one came from Banggood
Pros
- Excellent flier. Very maneuverable quadcopter.
- Good 5.8Ghz FPV video transmission performance. Does not interfere with quadcopter's controller.
- Includes ability to record both received FPV signal video, along with high definition video from the quadcopter's 720p camera.
- Screen is built into the controller, and powered by the controller's LiPo battery (no AA's or AAA's required).
- Headless mode and one key return.
- Quadcopter uses widely available generic 3.7V 300 to 450 mah micro quadcopter batteries.
- Does not require FAA registration.
Cons
- Controller's 500mah LiPo battery provides power for about one flight, then needs recharged. It would be a good idea to purchase a larger 3.7V 1000mah (white micro LoSi connector) to replace the stock battery
