NIHUI NH-010 5.8G FPV: The most budget-friendly TinyWhoop clone.

About the company

The manufacturer of this nano drone is the Chinese company Shantou Nihui Model Technology Co., Ltd. On the market since 2013. The main field of activity is the production of radio-controlled toys. The company's products are in demand in the markets of Europe, America and Asia. We received consumer recognition for its exemplary quality at an affordable price. In the Russian Federation, Shantou Nihui lit up thanks to two UAV models - these are quadcopters NIHUI TOYS U807 and NIHUI NH-010 5.8G FPV. The latter will be discussed in detail below.

Product Info

NIHUI NH-010 5.8G FPV is one of the cheapest Tinywhoop FPV clones in RTF format today. The quad is built on a 65mm ABS frame. At the heart of the simplest electronics, excluding any settings through the configurator. No acro mode, only 6-axis stabilized flight, as on all budget UAVs.

The strong point of this model is a good FPV camera, which works in conjunction with a 48-channel analog VTX at 5.8GHz. As a result of such retrofitting, the NH-010 has become a significant competitor for such popular models as - JJRC H36 and Eachine E010, which, unlike the NIHUI NH-010, do not have FPV cameras, but are perfectly adapted for them.

The quadcopter comes to the consumer in high-quality bright packaging. In the center there is a small transparent window through which the quad itself is partially visible.

It is worth noting that all the components of the drone: frame, motors, rotors, board, control equipment, are 99% replica of components of the above competitors. It differs, except that the main board NH-010, slightly modified for the FPV camera, received the marking - JR-NH010RM (JR-NH010R is the marking of the boards JJRC H36 and Eachine E010).

Motors

NH-010 5.8G received the classic for this drone niche brushed motors (6 × 15mm). Similar ones are installed on the JJRC H36 and Eachine E010.

On the plus side, each motor is connected to the board via a 1.25mm microJST connector, this fact greatly facilitates changing motors without using a soldering iron.

Camera

NH-010 is equipped with a well-proven in practice, a miniature AIO FPV camera with a resolution of 600TVL and an integrated VTX with a power of 25mW. Supports PAL color system. The field of view (FOV) is 130 °, which is optimal for flying at home.

Changing channels (1-8) and frequency band (A-F) is carried out by pressing the button through the left hole on the protective dome of the camera. A short press will change channels (8 × green LEDs), a long press will change frequencies (6 × blue LEDs). Everything is simple and intuitive.

It is worth noting that the weight of the camera complete with a protective dome is 3.9 grams in total!

Power

The drone is powered by a 200mAh single-cell lithium-polymer battery. There is no information about the discharge rate on the battery, but most likely it is 30C, similar to the batteries of the JJRC H36 and Eachine E010 drones. With active piloting, it provides an average flight time of 3 minutes 30 seconds. Battery charging time is 25-30 minutes.

The NIHUI NH-010 power supply works seamlessly with the H36 and E010 drones.

Controls

The NH-010 5.8G comes with the same control equipment that drones are equipped with H36 and E010, built on the XN297L RF chip. The control is carried out at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. In an interference-free zone, it provides a distance of no more than 60-70 meters. Power is supplied from two AA batteries (purchased separately).

​​

Good news, the hardware supports the use of Ni-MH batteries as a power source. It is also worth noting the compatibility of the radio protocol with DevationTX.

At the same time, the big disadvantage of the NIHUI NH-010 5.8G FPV is the poor location of the 2.4GHz antenna. It is laid from the bottom parallel to the main board, such a fact will negatively affect the not without that small removal distance. Therefore, it is highly recommended to bring it outside. Fortunately, this is not so difficult to do.

Price

Currently, the NIHUI NH-010 5.8G FPV is available for purchase on the Amazon marketplace for $ 36.
