Potensic P7

Potensic P7 Review

The Potensic P7 drone is for kids but even adult beginners can use it. It is small, cheap and packed with many fun features (battle mode and 3D stunts). For its safety, it has compact propeller guards. It also comes in exciting color combinations of black and red or black and white.

As mentioned, this drone has a sturdy body and the propellers are safe in their guards. It can also do some cool things such as sideways, front and back flips at the touch of a button. It is not only a nice drone for kids, but adult beginners can get it to start flying.

A drone is as good as its features. Thus, we shall see the main features that the P7 Mini drone comes with. We shall also see its main automatic flight functions. A kid’s drone should have certain flight modes to make it easier to fly.

Like other drones, even the P7 mini drone has one or two downsides. One of them is that at times, it flies so freely as if it has not been calibrated. This is not an across the board thing. Rather, it seems to be an isolated case.

Some users also say that this drone pulls a bit to the right when you are trimming it. But that is a small price to pay for such magnificence and flying prowess.

HR iCAMERA4 H4

HR iCAMERA4 H4 Drone Review

When you are ordering the HR iCAMERA4 H4 drone, you will find that it comes in two versions. The first one comes with brushless motors. The second version has coreless brushed motors.

The one with the brushless motors will cost you more money than the one with the coreless motors.

Most people ask: Which is better: a coreless motor or brushless motor drone?

Well, brushless motors are definitely better since they do not have brushes or commutators. As a result, such motors can last longer, give a more powerful performance, and they do not overheat.

The coreless motors are brushed. Thus, they might overheat when you fly the drone for too long.

You will also choose whether you want to buy the drone with one, two or three batteries. Of course, the package with two or three batteries will cost more money. But it is worth it because you will get a longer flight time.

JJRC X19

JJRC X19 Drone Review

Some of the perks that you get with the JJRC X19 drone include 5G WiFi connectivity, dual camera (4K HD), remote controller with small screen panel in the middle and other features. Later on, we shall look at its main features in detail.

The price is not too bad. Besides, you also get to choose the package with one, two or three batteries. For longer flight time and more fun in the air, we recommend that you get the two or three-battery package. It will cost you slightly more, but it will be money well spent.

This drone comes in RTF (ready to fly) packaging. Thus, no assemblage is needed. You can fly it right out of the box, of course, after calibrating it. You can refer to the user manual to see how to calibrate it for flight.

Is there any downside to worry about? Not really. This is a well thought out product. The only catch is that if you don’t like it, you have to send photos and videos first to show that the product is undamaged. You also have to pay for the shipping back as well as the original shipping cost.
