Specification
Appearance
Motors
The JJRC H8C quadcopter is equipped with 8.5 × 20mm brushed motors, which are impressively powerful for this drone niche, with the transmission of torque through a gear. To get the first experience, their potential is enough in abundance.
The potential of the JJRC H8C motors allows you to install a payload weighing up to 80 grams on a quadcopter, which is not an achievable result for the analogue Syma X5c.
The main disadvantage of these motors is a small working life of about 30-35 sorties. Therefore, when buying a quadrocopter, we recommend that you additionally purchase 2-3 spare sets of motors.
Flight properties
In the test, the JJRC H8C quadrocopter showed distinctive dynamics. Stable in management. There are 4 cost options: 25/50/75/100%. It is recommended to start the first flight with a 25% expense. With a stock camera, flips work out without drawdowns.
For the first time, the Headless mode will come in handy, disabling the orientation of the quadcopter, allowing the novice user to concentrate exclusively on control.
Battery
The JJRC H8C quadcopter is equipped with a powerful two-cell (2S) lithium polymer battery 7.4V 500mAh LiPo for this UAV niche. The battery provides a flight of about 8 minutes. It takes about 110 minutes to charge the battery. Charges from the included charger.
Camera
Depending on the configuration, the JJRC H8C quadcopter can be equipped with 0.3MP and 2MP cameras. Shooting quality is below average. The camera is controlled from the drone control equipment. When buying, it is better to abandon stock cameras and buy more expensive options, for example, Mobius MINI or Firefly Q6. Such an upgrade will significantly improve the quality of shooting and, in general, diversify the operation of the drone.
