Camera
In the arsenal of the quadrocopter is a 2MP built-in camera. Allows you to take photos and videos in a maximum resolution of 1280 × 720p at 15 fps. The picture quality is below average. We attribute the narrow camera viewing angle, only 45 degrees, to significant disadvantages.
Motors
In stock, the quadcopter is equipped with collector-type motors with torque transmission through the gear. In calm weather, the potential of the motors is quite enough. We attribute the open type of gearbox to the minuses, since the ingress of sand and dust will lead to its increased wear.
Bright illumination allows you to fly in the dark, looks impressive.
Remote Control
The H8C is equipped with classic 4-channel equipment operating in the 2.4GHz band. According to the specification, it provides a removal distance of up to 100 meters. In practice, in a metropolis, this distance is halved. Power is supplied from 4 × AA, purchased separately.
The XN297 chip installed on the board makes Eachine H8C compatible with DeviationTX control equipment via the BanYan protocol.
Button assignment
Cross-shaped buttons are located in the central part of the remote control. If the left button is held up, then video recording is turned on (turned off). If you press briefly, the drone will take a photo.
flight qualities
The Eachine H8C is a lot of fun to fly and the control sensitivity is well tuned. If you are not a beginner, we recommend flying without the protection of propellers and landing legs, this approach will noticeably add dynamics to the drone.
Price
The Eachine H8C quadrocopter is sold on various Internet trading platforms at an average price of $25.

An excellent quadcopter, suitable as the first UAV for practicing primary piloting skills. Equipped with a strong protection of the main rotors, it can withstand numerous crashes. There are no complaints about flight qualities, speed modes allow you to set suitable costs. Only the camera was disappointing with its shooting quality (especially in photo mode) and a very narrow viewing angle.
