The JJRC X7 Smart is a real killer drone with a high quality 1080P gimbal camera, a remarkable flight time and all this for an unbeatable price.
What appeals to us about this model is its design and flight stability. The sleek look makes the quadrocopter look quite modern.
The JJRC X7 drone is incredibly cheap, but at the same time it offers a lot of great features, which are very advantageous for beginners. These include the headless mode, automatic altitude hold and the Return To Home function.
In the shop you can choose between 2 different colors, black and white. In addition, there are 3 different scopes of supply, for example with one, two or three flight batteries.
Technical data and facts
With the included remote control you can control the quadrocopter easily and reliably. Via the 2.4 Ghz frequency band, the connection between the model aircraft and the radio remote control is safe and especially stable.
It also has a small holder above it, where you can use your Smartphone. The Wifi FPV image is transferred to the smartphone and displayed in 720P as soon as you connect the device to your drone.
Then there are the brushless electric motors, which work extremely quietly and still provide a very powerful acceleration of the copter. Should one of the drives break down, the motor can be easily replaced. Usually, however, such a case does not occur for many years.
The design
In principle the appearance is very simple, unspectacular and yet this drone appears slightly aggressive.
The way it looks, it flies: fast, agile and agile flight manoeuvres.
In the front is the 1080P wide-angle camera with 120 degrees, which can be adjusted in an angle of 90 degrees with the help of the remote control.
The dimensions of the quadrocopter are: 237 mm x 271 mm x 76 mm. The weight is about 480 grams.
The design of the radio remote control is also simple, elegant and all important buttons are located in the middle, respectively right and left top.
Camera
The camera which is included in the delivery has a resolution of about 1080P and has a gimbal system. With the remote control you can move it up and down in its vertical axis.
With the help of the center right button on the remote control, you can trigger photos or start video recording.
Videos are transmitted to the smartphone in real time and you can control the drone from the ego perspective.
The 5G Wifi connection only extends up to 300 meters. If the picture signal should break off, you can get the quadrocopter back by using the Return To Home function. However, we recommend that you fly the drone not only in FPV mode, but also to keep an eye on the flying object. This is also legally required by the drone laws (from October 2017).
Range, battery and flight time
You can control the drone with the powerful remote control up to a distance of 800 meters, but it is illogical to use this long distance. The FPV-Wifi signal only reaches up to 300 meters. At a distance of 800 meters, the drone will no longer be recognizable and therefore not controllable by you.
Super is the long flight time, which is about 25 minutes. This is achieved with the help of the 2600 mAh strong battery. The flight battery works at about 7.6 volts, it is as usual a Lipo battery. The charging time is however enormous, you need 3 hours to recharge the flight battery. Since the battery is charged slowly and gently, it also lasts longer since the charging cycles do not stress the battery cells too much and therefore wear less.
The different flight modes
The JJRC X7 drone has a number of modes which work passively in the background and provide a more stable flight attitude. One of them is the automatic altitude hold mode.
But then you also have other functions that you can use to fly better and safer with the quadrocopter. Flight modes like the return function, the headless mode and the FPV live image transmission are important.
Especially the headless mode is very interesting for beginners. Here you can control the drone to fly to you or away from you, no matter what the position of the head is from the model to you. For example, if you pull the right joystick towards you, the drone will fly towards you, even if it is on its side.
Another great feature is the user defined flight path. Here you simply have to specify a flight path with the help of the app, which the quadrocopter should fly.
In orbit mode you can fly the model in a radius of your choice around a defined waypoint. The drone will fly a perfect orbit, which you would never be able to achieve manually. These video recordings will look very professional.
Flight behaviour and feeling
The flight attitude of the JJRC X7 drone is very safe and stable. So you will not have any problems with this model, even in light gusts of wind.
That is exactly why we recommend this model to every beginner. Advanced drone pilots will also have fun with this drone.
The GPS and Return To Home mode also work very reliably. What would have been interesting is the possibility to do 360 degree flips with this model. Unfortunately this function does not exist.
