Introduction
Another development of Meijiaxin Toys - MJX R / C Technic - MJX X705C quadrocopter... At the moment, it is firmly entrenched in the segment of "Purchased drones" in terms of price / quality ratio. Design inherited from Syma X5CDJI Phantom 3
About the product
Immediately, we note the plastic MJX X705C, the quality deserves respect for the UAV niche occupied. Does not hold together, does not bend, the drone body is as one monolithic structure. Equipped with bright LED backlighting. The dimensions of the drone are 315 × 315 × 120mm. Drone weight ≈ 102 g.
Flight performance
The MJX X705C quadcopter will delight any beginner. Stable, reacts to the movement of the sticks accurately, you won't have to get used to it. It actively rotates along the ruder, performs programmed flips without any problems.
X705C motors are collector type, torque transmission is via gearboxes.
Camera
The MJX X705C quadcopter has received an FPV kit in the arsenal, through which flight is implemented for this model from the first person. The shooting quality of the 0.3MP Wi-Fi camera of the C4005 leaves much to be desired. In practice, the manufacturer's declared resolution of 1280 × 720p (HD) does not reach, maximum 640 × 480p at 15 fps. The overall image quality is below average. The camera is controlled using a smartphone via a free application. The main purpose of a Wi-Fi camera is far from shooting, but a simple introduction to flying in FPV mode.
It is worth remembering that for all its simplicity, FPV over Wi-Fi has one significant drawback - latency. Its value increases with each meter the drone moves away from the smart device with which the camera was paired.
Power supply
MJX X705C comes with 3.7V 550 (600) Li-Polymer battery mAh. Depending on the piloting modes, it provides a flight time of no more than 8 minutes. Battery charging time ≈ 120 minutes.
The MJX X705C quadcopter can be equipped with either a 550mAh or 600mAh battery. In tests, there was no significant difference in flight time.
First launch
Once the MJX X705C is in flight, postpone the installation of the rotor on the drive shafts of motors. This is due to security reasons. The main rotor is put on after binding the remote control to the drone.
Linking the drone
- Turn on the drone - on the rear of the drone, the switch is in the "On" position. The aircraft LED will flash rapidly.
- Place the drone on a flat surface with red lights towards the pilot.
- Turn on the remote control. We are waiting for 5-7 seconds, after which we move the left stick from the lower position to the upper one and vice versa with one movement.
- The indicator on the remote control will start flashing green, and the backlight on the aircraft will stop flashing. Wait until the indicator of the remote control switches to constant light mode. The binding is complete and the drone is ready to fly.
- Install the rotors on the drone motors drive shafts.
Linking the camera to a smartphone
Next, we proceed to linking WiFi tocamera C4005to a smartphone... To do this, download the free application "MJX C4005F".
- After downloading the application, turn on Wi-Fi on your smartphone. Find “MJX C4005 FPV_17C1” in the list of connected devices and click “Connect”.
- Start the previously downloaded application “MJX C4005F”. The monitor icon will appear on the display, touch it. The binding is completed correctly if an online picture broadcast from the drone camera appears on the display.
In addition to displaying FPV images, the application will allow you to control: video shooting, photographing, displaying the transmitted image at 180º and assigning a location to save the footage on a smartphone, as well as provide output to the display information about the signal strength of the Wi-Fi connection.

- Price
The MJX X705C is an excellent budget drone in terms of value for money. Therefore, as never before, it is suitable for novice pilots who set themselves the task of teaching primary piloting skills and familiarization with FPV flight, in order to subsequently move on to something more expensive. When retrofitted with a good camera (for example, Mobius MINI or Firefly Q6), it will significantly prolong the positive emotions from ownership.
