There are other expensive ones with doper camera


About 150k with 8mp camera and about 1500mah

Was used at a frnds wedding, flew for an hour plus and the pictures was clear

Had its own controller, Omo d drone make sense

That's nice. Do you have the drone's name. You could still hire the DJi Drone For Events from PrimeHomes as long as you're good at flying drones.

khalidx:
abeg quote me when you have any giveaway please

samsam2019:

PrinxArthur1:
how can I get licenses from NCAA?

. If you need a licence, please make sure its for a bigger drone like a Dji. Contact NCAA via email.

Normally when it comes to drones, we all expect all drones to be very expensive but there are actually a few drones that are budget friendly with specifications that are not too bad.

Highlights Of JJRC H37 Elfie Drone

Headless flight mode;
Multiple flight speed rates (30%, 60% and 100%);
About 8 – 15 minutes of flight time;
Near 100 meters control range in open field.


I got my hands on a H37 drone review unit (thanks to PrimeHomes ) and I spent 3 days handling the mini quad-copter drone and I'm quite impressed with the drone.


What's In The Box?

The drone comes in a portable box. There's nothing to flashy about the packaging so I'll go straight to what's inside.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lPFMjaVseb4/WeVCohEeKpI/AAAAAAAALAE/klQscl9pb_cuU2AlCv-O5ytLcZBHuxVTwCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

Inside the box, you've got the Elfie Drone, USB Charger that looks like a Flash Drive. I actually thought it was a flash drive before I actually brought it out and examined it properly.

There's also the Instructional Manual, a velvet pouch and an extra set of propellers just in case something goes wrong during the flight and any of your drone's propellers gets damaged.

Battery

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OyW4pU75FPQ/WeVC3idMcMI/AAAAAAAALAQ/lRM10GS2Ln0syc2As6hg9Bl48Ht8ngcogCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

The JJRC H37 Elfie Drone comes with a 500 mAh LiPo Battery. The first time I opened the back of the drone, the battery wasn't plugged in and I found it a little bit difficult fixing it correctly the first time but after fixing the battery about 3 - 4 times everything got quite easy.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RFyecF55DII/WeVDCLooFFI/AAAAAAAALAY/WskjnWHRQAYbIOexw7f2YjBwDj7EPHHzgCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

What I don't really like about the battery is the fact that you have to remove it from the drone and charge it separately. Try to be careful when you're handling the battery so you won't end up cutting the wires while trying to unplug it.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-thtKExXkCm8/WeVDNl1uSUI/AAAAAAAALAw/4grmgXx2fdU_sb9XSmGZGXwvFlvV1t9HgCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

The battery takes about 15-25 minutes to charge fully. Once the battery gets low, the drone would automatically shut down when you try to lift it off so you have to plug it in with the charger.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P4v166Q8tow/WeVDGcT9_VI/AAAAAAAALAk/EaTCnlE5OkMnM4jgxsOTf69kNvAByCXYQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

Once you plug it in the USB charger displays a red charging light and stops displaying once the battery is full.

Camera

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EmGBvMJ-u8A/WeVDahbimYI/AAAAAAAALBE/-KYebRr5x8Ua-Ms7c1nyn_fTuR_9qpqNACHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

The camera is a wide range 0.3MP camera. Wi-Fi FPV allows the drone to capture photos and videos with resolution of 720 x 576 pixels. Recording up to five minutes of video only takes about 23 MB. All pictures and videos are stored directly on your smartphone hence there's need for an SD card.

You can find the video files are stored in the VS FPV folder. The camera’s real-time video feed can be displayed on your mobile device (smartphone/tablet) through the VS FPV App or in the folder of the app recommended by your manual.
Note : Your Drone Manual may ask you to install a different App. My review unit requires VS FPV.

First Flight
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MkrEYxSJPBM/WeVDQq6dQKI/AAAAAAAALA4/ABmjKPOxPNc7tibZs81ct0vpKWsmUV6LwCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg


Before your first flight, you need the install the APP recommended on your manual on your mobile device. After unfolding the arms, power ON the quad and look turn on the app and connect to the drone's wifi Hotspot. (It's usually an open WiFi network)

In the case of mine it's "trust-toys-6cce69"
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bL_xRCF7L6I/WeVDMim2YFI/AAAAAAAALAs/XKVfeIZLuPEuqwcM1oqE5eY4-McVSlvYQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

Once it's connected launch the app and tap on connect. You should see the live feed and the virtual joysticks displaying above the feed. Select On to turn on the drone. Usually, by default the propellers are automatically set to be in idle mode so you have to tap on the icon that's located on the right side of the drone speed (the one displaying 30 is the drone speed)
Once you're done, push up the throttle stick (left one) and the drone will start to rise. Please use your manual if you don't understand. Trust me I tried flying the drone without reading the manual properly and I couldn't even control it.


I don't recommend flying indoors if you've not gotten used to the controls. It's best you start outdoors.. Also I recommend you leave the default speed at 30 until you're perfect with it.

In case of emergency you can use the “Stop” button, this will stop all the motors instantly.

JJRC H37 Flight Control

You can control the drone in two ways, using the virtual sticks or through gravity sensor by tilting the phone. Basically the JJRC Elfie H37 can be controlled just the way you play a mobile game,When you want to land your drone, you just need to press the arrow-down button, and the drone will land and stop its motors.

Common Issues With The Drone

Of course I won't say I didn't have my own share of technical mishaps when using the drone.


1. Drone Keeps Flying To One Side.

It means it's miscalibrated and you need to recalibrate the drone. Place it on a flat surface and connect it to your phone and launch the app. Turn on the drone, go to settings (gear icon) and select calibration. ( it's the last icon on the settings menu). When you do this, the drone's front and rear LED lights would blink continuously for about 7-10 seconds. Once it's done calibrating your drone is ready to fly.

2. Drone Not Turning On After Crash Landing

Unplug the battery and plug it in back.

3. Drone Goes Off When It's About Taking Off
The battery's probably low so all you have to do is to charge the battery

4. Camera Feed Not Displaying On Your Phone

Simply close the app (don't minimize it). Turn off your WiFi and turn it on again. Once you're reconnected to the drone, launch the app and connect. Everything should be okay

Verdict
I'd say the drone is pretty good and one of the best at this price range, however I'm not okay with the fact that you'll have to keep unplugging the battery to charge it and the lack of an obstacle sensor makes it a little bit difficult to handle in enclosed areas but anyone that can handle this drone perfectly would certainly have no problems handling the ones with obstacle sensors.

It's better you just keep the negativity to yourself

Nokia 6 Any Day

Are you comparing this Mediatek device to Nokia's Snapdragon powered phones..... This must be a joke

PhonePlanet:
From the consumer point of view, its painful. Cos you spend more money

But if you or i own the company, we will probably do the same thing. Its a good business plan. You make more money.

It's cool though.. It's been a while since I've seen your comments. What's up

ItsJonathan:
You too like free things. Pay for your stuffs and enjoy the value.


Op it's obvious you did not buy that device yourself, maybe you were given. Please sell it. iOS is not for you.

How does my comment relate to getting things free

I actually don't think 9mobile will actually expand using the name Naija Mobile.. If they move to Ghana and South Africa , You'll see something like 9mobile GH and 9mobile SA.

Nobody will know if it's 9mobile or NaijaMobile
All the same we need better broadband services so I'm praying a foreign company buys them off, either T-mobile, Verizon , Vodacom or Vodafone.

I dunno why I just have to shine my teeth on this thread @TechPanda ... I'm tired of the Apple issue.. Buy Airpods Separate, Buy wireless charger separate.. ... Different ways of extorting consumers

babtaima:
that cheap blog looking for cheap traffic reviewing cheap phones.. i like him but he should chill the fůck out.. he should start reviewing and recommending apple products maybe Apple might invite him for their next keynote etc and his life can change for good not doing silly reviews that can't properly sustain a man and family.

Bro we aren't quarreling o

okpaire:
I hope naijatechguy is seeing this oo

Seen... Lol.. iPhone X try sha.. ...

It's just a shortcut not an integration... Get your facts right. Secondly I don't see any reason for this Question. The shortcut to Instagram has also been there once you tap it, it opens the Instagram app, same goes for Whatsapp. I believe this question is quite irrelevant.

henryobinna:
omo!
why should they pay us for using their services free of charge?

that's totally being ungrateful... if only the person know how much money and time they spent to get here

You're right tho.

patrickhrf:
there is no Asus on the list?

Asus Zenfone 5 might get OREO
