July 21, 2015 at 09:03NIHUI TOYS U807 - unexpectedly honest quadrocopter with an interesting camera for $ 45
Today I will tell you about a little-known quadcopter in our area with an interesting manufacturer, NIHUI TOYS U807. Initially, he was interested in us, as it has a “Headless Mode”, average sizes, an interesting design, and a camera with 2 megapixels. When he came and we saw the camera - I wanted to immediately throw it somewhere far away, to the same place where the stock camera from Syma X5C lies, but still we took it for testing and this is what came of it.
In the process of testing, we took several photos, here is one of them:
The most attentive could notice that it is of quite decent quality, that is, this is an honest shot on a camera with 2MP in a resolution of 1280x720. But we did not notice this right away, so we started the usual flight tests.
Stability
I think that beginners will appreciate the smoothness of his movements in low power mode. And those who already had experience in managing quadrocopters will be able to train their skills in passing obstacles on it.
Flight Modes
Since we are talking about modes, I immediately note that there are three of them. Changing the mode is very simple, just click on the left button under the index finger on the controller. One squeak is the first mode. Two squeaks - the second mode. Three squeaks - the third mode.
And in the third mode, real fun begins on taming the quadrocopter. We give full throttle and a full tilt forward and the quadrocopter is carried away into the distance with great speed. And here the “Headless Mode” is useful to us. Headless Mode
Features
, he is "Headless mode." It was not named so because of its detachment and carelessness, but for the functional removal of the “head”. In short, in this mode it does not matter which side the blue front lights or red-taillights. Where initially he turned his face - there is now "forward". That is, you can fly off tens of meters, spin around its axis, and then press the stick back and it will obediently fly in your direction. For quadrocopters that do not have GPS, this is an excellent mode so as not to get lost.
Flips . Like any self-respecting quadrocopter for entertainment, Nihui can also do flips in all directions with a single button. To do this, press the right button under the index finger on the controller and press the right stick in the direction you want to flip.
Camera
A little higher, I already showed a photo and an example video from the NIHUI TOYS U807. I must say that for me it was a big surprise. That is, usually quadrocopters for this cost contain a camera for show. She shoots in terribly low resolution and I don’t even want to watch such a video. But I watched the video from the U807 with pleasure and can recommend it to those who want to get a toy, but with the opportunity to get shots from the family chronicle that can be saved.
Video example:
By the way, turning off the video and taking a photo is very convenient using the right button under the index finger. If you want to take a photo - do a short press, if you want to turn the video on or off - press a couple of seconds until you hear a signal. To make sure that the photo is taken - look at the camera from below - the green light will blink red. When you turn on video recording, the red light will blink constantly.

A couple of warnings
The only thing I want to warn you about is to remember to turn off the video with another long press on the button. My video simply did not save if I turned it off by turning off the power.
Make sure that the camera is well fixed, as it tends to fall out of the mounts.
Options:
Firstly, everything is packed very carefully. In one main box there were 3 more inner boxes. One for the quadrocopter, the second for the remote control and the third for other little things.
The whole package looks like this:
Conclusions
I personally liked the quadrocopter. He easily survived a lot of crashes during tests at home, pleased with the speed and stability on the street, pleasantly surprised with a decent picture in the video and photos. And most importantly, all this for little money ( $ 49.79 , taking into account delivery to Russia).
That's all, a successful flight wishes you a service for choosing quadrocopters Dronk.Ru
