JJRC H31 wannabe waterproof quad
A waterproof quadcopter means that the aircraft can be immersed underwater. Usually, waterproof drones are extremely expensive because they have different designs and require special components. JJRC Toys claims that their $33 H31 quad can be submerged in water and still be able to fly. Honestly, I doubt this thing and I want to test myself on this JJRC...
JJRC H12WH quadcopter with altitude hold
JJRC H12WH with WiFi first person view camera
It looks that JJRC did not give up the H12 series because they just announced the third generation of this model. Biggest advantage of this new JJRC H12WH over its predecessors is the barometric air-pressure sensor. Thanks to this feature the aircraft is capable to maintain its flight altitude stable at the desired level.
On first...
JJRC H11WH quadcopter with alt hold
JJRC H11WH with WiFi first person view camera
This new JJRC quad was announced few weeks ago simultaneously on many online quadcopter shops. In my opinion, thanks to the newbie orientated features (headless mode and altitude hold) this JJRC H11WH looks just perfect for beginner pilots.
While the design of the H11WH reminds me about another JJRC quad, the X1, the transmitter...
JJRC H20C hexacopter review
Somehow, I missed reviewing the JJRC H20C 's predecessor, which was probably the first affordable mini hexacopter. These two models have approximately the same design but the newer H20C is slightly bigger and comes with a nicer remote controller. Certainly, the onboard camera is the most attractive improvement of the H20C over the older H20. The camera is advertised...
JJRC X1 quadcopter review
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with a cheap brushed drone because, at that time, it didn't exist affordable brushless models like this JJRC X1. Based on my experience, the biggest problem with the cheaper brushed DC motors is that after only 10-15 flights they burn out.
When it comes to cheap models, I consider that it is enough to...

JJRC H6W WIFI first person view quadcopter
JJRC H6W FPV quadcopter with headless mode
When I purchased my first quadcopter, few of my friends asked me about the quality of the camera and if it's capable for FPV flights. It seems these two factors are very important features for newbies. This new JJRC H6W quadcopter comes with a 2MP camera and WIFI real time image transmission. During my experience I have not...

From an unknown manufacturer, JJRC becomes a consecrate name in the world of multi-rotors hobbyists. They lunch new quadcopter models almost every month and one of them, the JJRC H8D, with its floral red and orange colors, will be the quad of May.
Frankly, there is no much innovation on this H8D, practically is a mix of older...

JJRC H12C - Headless Mode and Return to Home
After H5C, H6C, H8C and H9D, JJRC announced a new quadcopter with headless mode and one key return to home.
Regarding the specs, this new quadcopter will be a serious competitor for the previous model. Hopefully they used a newer motor model and they eliminated the motor issue that the JJRC H8C has.
In order to improve the flight range of this...
Inside the JJRC H8C transmitter
Looking inside of the JJRC H8C remote controller
Today I opened my JJRC H8C 2.4Ghz remote controller to find out how I can improve it. The default control range is around 80 meters and I want to extend this range adding a true 6db 2.4Ghz antenna.
It was very easy to open the transmitter. I used the screwdriver that comes in the package with the JJRC H8C quadcopter. Inside...
