As you can see in the image below, in terms of design, the Eachine E511 is almost identical to the more expensive Mavic Air. It has similar foldable arms and headlights. Even the strips on the props are replicated. But before you get too enthusiastic, similarities are limited to appearance. The Eachine E511 has almost none of the DJI’s features.
The Eachine E511 drone has two types of cameras. You can opt for a 2MP or 5MP camera according to your budget. The price difference between the two versions is about $10.
Thanks to the high capacity LiPo battery (2s/1200mAh), the E511 quad has an impressive up to 17 min of flying time. The advertised 200-meter control range is also pretty nice for its market segment.

Can you give me some dimensions of the drone? I’d like to find spare propellers compatible with my odd one I bought from a market in Hong Kong. The propellers measure 14 cm from tip to tip, and the inner diameter of the shaft is 0.5 cm.
you can find it also in black under “SKRC X12S” name!
Maybe you should elaborate the sentence “The Eachine E511 has almost none of the DJI’s features.” which I totally believe considering the price difference!
