MJX X916H Altitude Hold Lily Drone Clone Flight Test Review

This may very well be the closest that any of you will ever come to actually owning a Lily drone ;-) This mini clone Lily drone includes FPV and an advanced flight control app with flight route planning. Find it soon here
Pros
- Good looking microi drone. Very similar in appearance to the Lily camera drone. This may very well be the closest that any of you will ever come to actually owning a Lily ;-) Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong on this point.
- Altitude hold with automatic takeoff and landing. Altitude hold works relatively well to maintain elevation without having to mess with the throttle control. Pilot can maintain focus on horizontal flight instead of worrying about vertical control.
- Headless mode and one key return. Combining headless mode with altitude hold enables very easy flying of this quadcopter via its app.
- FPV video viewable through your smart phone.
- Quadcopter is controlled entirely through the "MJX H" app. I actually like this app. It is the most advanced control app that I've yet seen for toy grade quadcopters. You name it, it probably can do it. It even has a Flight Plan control page that allows you to draw the quadcopters route, and the quadcopter will follow it. this feature though is a little tricky, and takes some practice and adjustment to get it right. If you're doing Flight Plan flying, strongly recommend practicing it in an open field to allow for mistakes. But anyways, you can try the app for free here. Android
iTunes
- Uses cheap and widely available generic 350mah LiPo with micro Losi connector.
Cons
- Low resolution 0.3MP 480p camera.
- WiFi FPV with max control and FPV range of about 20 to 30 meters.
- Video is recorded to smartphone via WiFi stream. Video can be laggy and choppy with much frame dropping.
