About the manufacturer
Welcome a new competitor in the selfie-drone niche - J. me. The manufacturer is Shenzhen Pegasus Robot Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing. It sells its products under the Feima Robotics brand. Specializes in the development and subsequent production of UAVs and software for them.
The main products at the moment are: professional drones Pegasus F1000 / F200 / Multifunctional software "Butler" for drones / Compact drone for domestic use J.me. Recently, the company has turned its interest towards the production and sale of ultra-small civilian unmanned aerial vehicles. Their first creation in this direction was a drone - J.me.
About the product
J.me - moderately compact drone - 169 × 169 × 70 mm, a direct competitor for such UAVs as: Zerotech dobby, Wingsland S6Yuneec Breeze. If the drone had a foldable design, it could safely stand next to the famous Mavic Pro. The weight of the drone is 550 grams and this fact tells us that the quad will be subject to mandatory registration. Although it loses quite a bit in size and weight, this is nothing compared to the package of features that the J.me.
Features
- Flight time up to 23 minutes
- overfly system obstacles (detects obstacles up to 2 meters in front of him)
- S / C motors
- Satellite positioning GPS / GLONASS / Beidou
- 13MP 4K PTZ camera on a 2-axis b / c gimbal, with an aperture of F2.0 and a field of view of 76 ° (CMOS sensor Sony IMX258)
- MTK Helios X20 processor
- Intelligent flight modes (Orbit / Follow me / Point flight / Auto return / Auto take off and landing)
- Voice control
- 720p video streaming up to 200 meters
- Powered by 4S 3000mAh LiPo
J.me - received the world's smallest two-axis S / C gimbal, in fact this is the most significant plus of this selfie drone, since more than one digital stabilization is not comparable in operation with analog.

Test Drive
Extremely stable in flight and handling. Control is implied in two classical ways: by means of a mobile device and control equipment * (purchased separately *). When controlling a smartphone, it allows you to move away to the declared 200 meters without any problems (and even more than 350-400 meters, but already under the condition of launching in interference-free zones). By controlling the equipment, this range expands to 1 km. In general, the quality of communication deserves respect.
The global GPS / GLONASS / Beidou system is responsible for positioning at J.me, and when the drone descends to a height of 3 meters and below, the ultrasonic and optical sensors are activated, which are located at the bottom of the drone, and I must say, that this tandem works for a solid five.
- The drone weighed 570 grams, which is almost twice as heavy as the Spark.
- The obstacle detection system that should be built into the front beams of the drone is not yet available.
- I was surprised by the fact that in order to fully use the entire arsenal of the drone's capabilities, it is necessary to fly off in the beginner mode for 300 minutes.
All declared autonomous functions (orbits, follow me, point flight, return home) the drone fulfills without any complaints. The flight time declared by the manufacturer fully corresponds to reality from 20-23 minutes, which again indicates the high quality of the product.

- Price
Feima J.me is a great high quality product capable of offering good quality video and unparalleled flight times for a selfie drone. He is the undisputed leader among such drones as: Yuneec Breeze / Zerotech dobby / Wingsland S6 / Passport / Xiro Xplorer Mini, but he is still far from Spark, if only because the camera shoots in 4K mode only at 20fps, and in FHD mode only 30 fps, and in fact it cannot fly around obstacles today. J.me is available for sale on Ali at a price of $ 599, which is again a disadvantage today, because a more technologically advanced Spark will cost the consumer at least $ 60 less. With such a competitor as Spark, the manufacturer needs to either modify the drone or significantly reduce the price tag.
