Motors

Cons

No camera included (purchased separately)
Shooting quality of stock cameras

Excellent option as the first UAV with FPV flight capability. If you buy a camera with more serious characteristics, for example, Mobius MINI or Firefly Q6, then the feeling of owning an MJX X400 quadcopter will be more intense, and the pilot, in turn, will always be able to boast of dynamic flights recorded in HD quality.
