Specification
On the bottom of the case there is a connector for charging the LiPo battery, located inside the case
Camera
In the arsenal of the quadrocopter there is a built-in camera. Allows you to take photos and videos in a maximum resolution of 1280 × 720p at 15 fps. Shooting quality is below average. The narrow viewing angle of the camera, only 45 degrees, is a significant disadvantage.
Motors
In stock, the quadcopter is equipped with collector-type motors with the transmission of torque through a gear. In calm weather, the potential of the motors is quite enough. We attribute the open type of the gearbox to the disadvantages, since the ingress of sand and dust will lead to its increased wear.
Bright backlight allows you to fly in the dark, looks impressive.
Control panel
Equipped with H8C classic 4-channel equipment operating in the 2.4GHz band. Provides a removal distance of up to 100 meters according to the specification. In practice, in a megalopolis, this distance is halved. Meals are supplied from 4 × AA, purchased separately.
The XN297 chip installed on the board makes the Eachine H8C compatible with DeviationTX control equipment using the BanYan protocol.
Assignment of buttons
In the central part of the remote control there are cross-shaped buttons. If the left button is held in the up position, then video recording is enabled (disabled). If you press it briefly, the drone will take a photo.
Flight Performance
The Eachine H8C is a lot of fun to fly and the control sensitivity is well tuned. If you are not a beginner, we recommend flying without the protection of propellers and landing supports, this approach will noticeably add dynamics to the drone.
Price
Eachine H8C quadrocopter is sold on various Internet trading platforms at an average price of $ 25.

An excellent quadrocopter, suitable as the first UAV for practicing primary piloting skills. Equipped with durable rotor protection, withstands numerous crashes. There are no complaints about flight performance, the speed modes allow you to set suitable costs. I was only upset by the camera with its quality of shooting (especially in the photo mode) and a very narrow viewing angle.
