JJRC is about to release an upgraded version of their current best drone (read more about it in our JJRC X7 review). The second generation JJRC X7P has many improvements compared to its predecessor. The biggest change is around its video gear. Instead of a 1080P camera with a 1-axis gimbal, it features a 4K camera with 2-axis mechanical stabilization. Furthermore, it promises longer flight times than the older model. According to the rumored specs, the 7.6 V/2950 mAh allows up to 25 minutes of flight time.
In terms of design, there is not much change – apparently, both aircraft and remote controllers look just like their predecessors. The JJRC Smart+ will also be available in black and white color versions.
The dual-satellite positioning system is combined with ultrasonic and optical-flow positioning. These visual sensors provide super stable hovering in an indoor environment.
The JJRC X7P quadcopter will autonomously return to the take-off point if the aircraft is out of the transmitter’s range (RC signal loss), thanks to the GPS-assisted fail-safe return-to-home feature.
JJRC X7P drone highlights
- Dual satellite positioning system (GPS & GLONASS);
- Ultrasonic sensor assists barometer to keep super stable altitude hold;
- Optical flow positioning;
- Fail-safe return to home;

JJRC SMART+ remote controller
As I mentioned, the Smart+ has the same bulky transmitter as the SMART model. On the front panel, besides the usual control sticks, it has only 4 buttons (M – Flight mode, Take-off/Land, Camera and RTH). The left shoulder dial knob allows to adjust the camera’s tilt angle remotely.
According to the manufacturer’s specs, the 10CH remote has a control range of more than 1KM.
