JXD 509w - Comments

Conclusions: I was really nervous of buying this product as it's very hard to tell the quality of things like drones in advance (especially if you're like me and have never bought one). But I'm very impressed with it and my brother loves it. I'm pleasantly surprised at the good camera quality. Naturally the flight time is fairly short (10 mins) but that's standard for most drones of this price range. My brother has loved learning tricks, filming and generally flying around impressing the neighbours. It didn't take him long to set up and it seemed quite quick to get the hang of the controls. Now I want one...

Advantages: This is a really nice unit, looks good, and flies well under great conditions Flies great. Camera is a plus.

Limitations: 2 probs only, Battery could be bigger, but you can buy up to a 1000mah battery on Gearbest, 2ndly, Wind does blow it round a little.

Advantages: the copter looks fantastic, much more expensive than it actually was. for a beginner like me it's the perfect choice as a first 'step up' after one of these mini quadcopters for mainly inside. you can use the remote control or your smartphone. Both work very good, but the remote control aloows far more distance

Limitations: wifi distance is not that good

Conclusions: The best thing about this JXD 509W 6-Axis Gyro Drone FPV RC Quadcopter With Wifi HD 0.3MP Camera, High Hold CF Mode Mobile Phone Control RC Drone has become more than about the drone itself. It's actually become all about the remote! Of all the drones I've ever used, the remote from this drone has the best range, if that is important to your usage. The drone is also fantastic as well and the flying time from battery is incredibly good. A great drone if you're looking to purchase one!

Advantages: If we want an economic and WIFI equipment do not hesitate, this is the best choice in the market. However, do not expect a high quality video as the camera is 0.3MP instead of 2 MP of the white version. Great design, barometer sometimes fails and does not let us down aircraft (happened to me with two black versions that have acquired) I do not understand why. Overall I quite like and recommend purchase.

Limitations: none

Limitations: none

Advantages: nice function of start up and automatic landing. APP control and FPV view is good for the price. altitude hold makes flight very very easy. you can use 800mah battery for longer enjoy.

Limitations: flight performance is nothing better than syma x5 series.

Advantages: excellent quality of assembly, perfectly compatible with ios and Android, excellent management and remote control app, perfect controllability of the aircraft!

Limitations: add a small LCD monitor on the remote control to achieve perfection!

Advantages: Really easy set up. Comes just about ready to fly, the app download and connection with wifi was easy also. Flying was really quick and easy to get the hang of. The video attached was only after about three minutes of practice and I am a first time flyer. Price was amazing on sale @$50 USD for what this little drone can do I am very happy. Took to the park at night with a medium wind, the drone gets knocked around easily but is more than fast and powerful enough to cut through it when directed. At the park I hit a tree about 25 feet (8m) high and it dropped hard to the ground. No damage at all, just reset and flew straight away. It's so light it's hard to damage and the rotors are very flexible so don't shatter like the rotors on my workplaces DJI drone. Also means I took the rotor blade protectors off as I feel they're not needed with this model :) Definitely get extra batteries pack because once you start you'll not want to stop :D Great price, great drone A+ :D

Limitations: Wasn't as big as I imagined it to be, look at the photos with PS4 controller for size indication. Very lightweight and although powerful enough to fly like crazy, not powerful enough to lift much extra weight.

Advantages: Altitude Hold function, which works reliably. Tested in the room, the model maintains a given height with minimal fluctuation, in a couple of centimeters, also changes the height can be very accurately increase or decrease (in a few cm), enough small touch on the throttle, and he jumped to 3-4 cm. impressive, indeed, and many facilitates fly. To reduce vibration, I put a piece of sponge, between the camera and the body. Battery: fits 750 mah, completely. Can enter the width and Turnigy Nano 950 mAh, but it is too long, and I can not close the door.

Limitations: no

Limitations: no

Advantages: Altitude hold is an amazing feature! Couldn't believe how steady this quad is. Perfect for beginners just learning. Height hold gives you freedom to learn how to fly without having to adjust throttle to Maintain altitude. It also senses wind and adjust accordingly so you don't get caught in the drift. Doesn't mean fly in the wind it can still be carried off to never land it just helps in the breeze to steady for pictures.

Limitations: Zero for the price and features!
