JJRC H36 or Eachine E010 are two absolutely identical quadcopters, despite the fact that they are produced under different brands. The look of the quad was borrowed from the more expensive and functional Blade Inductrix. Both drones received consumer recognition thanks to the increasingly popular FPV flying at home. If desired, quadrics can be easily retrofitted with an FPV camera and fly like advanced pilots wearing FPV goggles
* JJRC H36 or Eachine E010 after retrofitting
If we take into account the prices for similar quadrics with a camera, then the JJRC H36 and Eachine E010 are an excellent alternative to expensive analogs. In addition, the quadcopters are demonstratively controlled and are not at all afraid of collisions and falls. They have in the arsenal the mode "Headless or Headless", the function "Return to the transmitter" and two modes of activity "Low" and "High". The flight time in practice averaged 5 minutes, which is very good for such a segment of copters. The weight of the quad is 21.5 grams. Ready to Fly Out of the Box ( RTF ). Price - $ 23.
