NEWS: Eachine E511S, an advanced WiFi toyquadcopter ?

[Drone News]

WiFi toyquadcopter made a lot of progress since one year. From basic 720p camera with a narrow field of view and basic flight assistance, now with the Eachine E511S: https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-E511S-GPS-Dynamic-Follow-WIFI-FPV-With-1080P-Camera-16mins-Flight-Time-RC-Drone-Quadcopter-p-1373965.html
we have a foldable machine able to record up to 1080p with a FOV of 120 degrees. More thanks to a builtin GPS you will enjoy advanced flight modes such GPS positionning, RTH, follow-me, path planning. No mention about specific selfie fligth modes, a very important missing information if you plan to use this machine as a firt selfie drone… The camera can be tilted up and down via the radiocommand. It’s a brushed machine with 1020 coreless motors so the largest brushed motors actually available. Of course with brushed machine always take into consideration that such motors have a limited life. If you think to buy this machine, always also order at least a CW and a CCW motors. With a 1200mAh 2S LiPo, the promised flight time is about 14min… In term of control range about 200-300m… but I am not sure despite the 5.8G WiFi link such distances can be reached. For europeans android users, take into consideration that probably the selected 5.8G WiFi channels won’t be compatible with your device except if Eachine added a procedure to change these channels according to your local zone. More, three versions are proposed: one 720p, one 1080p and one 1080p 5.8G WiFi. If for the two first it’s clear that the video is stored locally on the quadcopter via a microSD card… it’s not clear for the 1080p 5.8G model if also the native video flux is also stored onboard or only via your smartphone. If the last hypothesis is true, the machine looses a lot of interest. Other questions emerge also from the camera module: What is the frame rate ? what is the light sensitivity… At least for sure for such price don’t expect EIS feature to stabilize your video recording… So many questions at end. Only a complete review will answer
