Coming soon: XMR/C M8 GPS 4K camera drone

Like most drones under 200 which claims to be UHD ready, the XMR/C M8 also features only Full HD (1080P) video resolution. They use the “4K” phrase as marketing trick.

Its folding backpack friendly design allows easy transportation. When it is folded up, the aircraft measures only 16 X 12.3 X 6.6 cm. During night flights, you will be assisted by four lead lights – one under each brushless motor (blue in front, green on rear).

Thanks to the GPS assisted fail-safe RTH feature, the XMR/C M8 drone will autonomously return to the take-off point if the flight battery is near empty or communication is lost with the remote controller. Auto return-to-home can be manually engaged as well.

According to the advertised specs, the high capacity 7.6V/3000mA LiPo allows up to 30 minutes airborne time – which is one of the best in its price range. The battery pack comes with charging level indicator LEDs.
