What do we have here?
Dimensions of the drone without propellers are 91x91x38 mm, and the weight is only 88 grams. The case of modified PP-plastic is resistant to falling, and the blades are made of durable fiberglass. Inside there is a quad-core chipset with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. He is responsible, among other things, for processing data from sensors, thanks to which the device can hang in one position. There are several flight modes and a flip function.
Built-in 2-megapixel camera can record HD-video (720p) and take photos with a resolution of up to 1600x1200 pixels. There is a dual-band Wi-Fi module, everything is controlled using the application on the smartphone. The radius of action reaches 50 meters, the quadrocopter is able to rise to the air up to a height of 25 meters. Bluetooth support is also claimed, but there is no console included.
Under the top cover with the logo of the Xiaomi mascot rabbit, a removable 920 mAh battery is hidden. Full charge is enough for about 10 minutes flight. In the box, put a couple of spare propellers and protective shields.
Question price
In China, Mitu Mini RC Drone sales will begin on April 26 at a price of about $ 63. It will be interesting to compare it with other drones from our collection of models up to $ 100 (hardly a novelty Xiaomi will cost more on AliExpress).

The Tiny R7 is a newcomer to the family of LDARC brushed nano racers, formerly King Kong.It takes the classic form of a Tiny Whoop, a little larger since its diagonal motor motor is 7.5 cm.The engines are 820 to 16000KV, so fast but not exceptional.They lead 4 cm quadripal propellers.The flight controller is a F3 SPRacing flashed with Betaflight.The camera is an 800TVL with a 150 ° angle, which can be tilted by 10 °, associated with a 5.8 GHz video transmitter with 16 channels and a power of 25 mW.The battery is a 3.8V 450 mAh 50C LiHV with a PST PH 2.0 connector.The weight ?38.8 grams (with a radio receiver).
Nothing new ?
At first glance, the Tiny R7 is not much different from the Tiny 7X of the same brand.But he has a nice function: the "flip over after crash": he knows how to turn if he is on the back, briefly running two engines only, in the same direction.This technique usually requires brushless motors and DShot600 ESCs.How is the function possible with Betaflight?This may be the use of Texas Instruments H-Bridge DRV8850 drivers (mentioned in the data sheet) that would be used to reverse the direction of rotation of one of the motors.
Versions
The Tiny R7 is offered without a radio receiver (for you to add yours), with an FM800 (Futaba Fasst), a DSM2 (Spektrum), an FS-RX2A (Flysky), or a receiver built into the compatible flight controller both FrSky and S-FHSS.The Basic version of Tiny R7 comes with a battery, a USB charger, a battery tester, from $63.99 at hobbywow (with the port but excluding taxes).The Advanced version is supplied in a box with a 6-slot charger to power with a big battery, 5 batteries, 3 colored fairings, from 82 €.
According to the manufacturer’s specs, the 1800mAh LiPo battery allows up to 17 minutes of flying time. Not bad, but probably when the MJX Bugs 3 H is fully equipped (camera and blade protectors) this time gets much shorter.

The JY018
ELFIE Foldable Pocket Drone's design is clean, sleek, and modern. The color
schemes available offer a high contrast in colors, allowing to easily
distinguish front from back. This creates a user friendly experience that guide
the pilot to the drone's orientation. On the outside the quadcopter has a
simple interface that is beginner friendly and unique. It's legs compact
together making this drone a goto for flying-on-the-go, wherever you go! -
Whether it be indoors or outdoors!
Small enough to fit in your pocket the
JY018 ELFIE Foldable Pocket Drone stands up to its name, since it is about the
size of an everyday smart phone. When it comes to the design of the H37
JY018 ELFIE, it is definitely one of the nicer looking ones I have seen when it
comes down to Pocket Drones.
FEATURES
HEADLESS
MODE
The H37 features a headless mode
that keeps the drone in the correct orientation, guiding the pilot all the way
through. I found this to work very nicely within the quadcopter. However, due
to the bright design of the pocket drone, even flying the quad manually, is
just as doable, even from several feet away.
REAL-TIME
WIFI TRANSMISSION
JY018 's "Real-Time" wifi
functionality worked quite well throughout the majority of my flight. I had a
few connectivity issues while venturing off a little too far, but the drone
eventually "reconnected" and I was right back to my smooth flight.
CAMERA
Measuring at around 480p, the H37
JY018 ELFIE is not meant to replace your Phantom 4, but I'm fairly impressed on
how some of the shots came out. Granted they were not the best pictures, but
enough can be seen in the photos that it is not a complete waste. With a solid
connection the video comes out alright too, but at around the time my
connection started acting up, the stream comes out a bit choppy. Nevertheless,
pretty decent for what I expected.
G-SENSOR
The G-sensor is one feature I found a
few users having issues with and as a result they switched to different apps to
control the drone.
However, I found that simply disabling
portrait-orientation lock on your phone quickly eliminates any problems. The
-sensor works quite well and the drone is easily able to to follow your device,
even though they do not specifically advertise it as having the "follow me"
feature that some other drones have.
FLIGHT-TIME
The JY018 ELFIE made for an easy
flight experience and was even able to handle flips and turns. One of my
favorite features of the H37 is its ability to return back to the controller
and land on your own hand. After that, it's just one click away from instantly
stopping the blades using the stop button.
Overall I give the JY018 ELFIE
a good rating on its features and design, due to the fact that you can
literally keep it and take it anywhere in your pocket it is especially well
enough for most beginners who'd like to buy a Selfie Pocket Drone.
