Description: This inexpensive drone is perfect for helping new pilots to learn the basics of drone flight. Every new pilot inevitably crashes numerous times as they learn what not to do with their drone. Once your skills improve, then go and purchase that high-end drone that you've been drooling over. Find the HR H9 drone here bit.ly/HR-H9-Drone Pros - Small folding drone for portability. - Available in Black or Orange colors. - Weighs only 124 grams with installed battery. This drone does not require registration in most countries. - 3.7V 1000 mah battery. - Optical flow capability. - Includes 6G stabilization, altitude hold, headless mode, one key return, and flip capabilities. - Camera records to your phone interpolated 1080p video at 20 fps, and interpolated still photos at 4096 x 2160 pixels (video frame grabs). The camera lens can be manually swiveled up or down. - "KY FPV" app provides real time in-flight video viewed on your phone. The video signal is rather strong with minimal frozen or dropped video frames. The KY FPV app can be found on Google Play here bit.ly/KY-FPV and the Apple App Store here bit.ly/KY_FPV Cons - Brushed motor drone. The motors will eventually require replacement. - There is no SD card recording capability. You can only record to your phone using WiFi. - Use of the app requires a phone with 802.11ac WiFi capability. Not all phones can use 802.11ac WiFi. Before purchasing this drone, first verify that your phone can use this type WiFi. Otherwise you may be very disappointed to discover that your phone will not connect with the drone. - Video and stills are interpolated to 1080p video and 4K stills from a much lower resolution image sensor. - Short flight times of around 8 minutes (much shorter than the advertised flight time). - The optical flow system did not work well close to the ground, but improved its performance at higher altitude.
