Appearance

The quadcopter has impressive dimensions, so it is not safe to use it in an apartment. The MJX X101 is equipped with a gimbal with vibration damping dampers, which, albeit insignificantly, cope with the negative influence of vibrations emanating from the collector motors on the quality of the camera installed. At the same time, the gimbal is a compartment for the quad battery.

​​

Motors

The MJX X101 quadcopter is equipped with brushed motors, the potential of which is enough for flying with GoPro cameras without significant loss of control. The transmission of torque is realized through a gear, which generally adds a little noise.

Camera

The developer equips the MJX X101 with two types of C4016 / C4018 cameras. The quality of the shooting is below average for both. In addition to video recording and photos, a video stream is broadcast via Wi-Fi to a smartphone (IOS / Android) paired with a camera.

It is better to refuse to buy stock cameras and buy a camera with better shooting quality. In practice, such models as GoPro and analogues, Mobius MINI or Firefly Q6 have proven themselves well.

Food

The MJX X101 has a powerful 2-can lithium polymer for this drone niche Battery with a capacity of 1200mAh with a discharge current of 25C. Provides a flight time of no more than 10 minutes. Charges from the included charger in an average of 2-2.5 hours.

Control panel

The classic 4-channel GR-246R remote control operating at 2.4 frequency is included with the MJX X101 quadcopter GHz. Provides a flight range of up to 100 meters (in an interference-free zone). In a megalopolis, this distance is no further than 50 meters. The equipment is powered by three 1.5V AA batteries.

The smartphone holder is included in the kit only when ordering a complete set with the camera.

Flight performance

The MJX X101 quadrocopter in tests showed good dynamics with a distinctive vertical thrust. Wind resistant. I didn't have to get used to the controls. The function of returning the drone to the equipment, Headless mode and flips worked without any problems.

It is worth remembering that the X101 returns to the hardware with the direct participation of the pilot. Otherwise, the quad runs the risk of encountering obstacles on the way of returning and eventually loses its integrity.

In practice, the flight time was no more than 10 minutes. The operation of the quad in a compartment with a Wi-Fi camera of the C4016 / C4018 type negatively affects the total flight time (no more than 7 minutes).

Price

MJX X101 quadrocopter, depending on the configuration, is sold at various marketplaces in the Internet at a price of 74-120 $.

  • Gimbal adapted for action cameras GoPro Format
  • Aircraft Return to Hardware
  • Headless Mode

Cons

  • Collector motors (low resource)
  • No camera included (you need to purchase)

An excellent budget option exclusively for the first acquaintance with the UAV. Lovers of correct shooting pass by. The presence of a gimbal for GoPro cameras is more of a marketing ploy of the company than a feature. It should be understood that without two or three axial gimbal, it will not be possible to achieve beautiful and stable frames. In general, it is an excellent simulator for gaining primary skills in piloting, capable of steadfastly tolerating the mistakes of beginners. When retrofitted with GoPRO / Mobius MINI / Firefly cameras, the Q6 will significantly extend the positive emotions from operation.
