Hubsan X4 V2 mini RC Drone, testing

It had been expected for several weeks, here is the new version of mini quadricopter Hubsan of the X4 V2. Both warn you now, do not expect a revolution. This version is simply a revision of the first model, which corrects some of its weaknesses. To better understand this chronic X4 V2, it is advisable to cast an eye prior to the test the first version, you will find here. Note that the unit has been lent us a few days by the online store Banggood. As usual, feel free to tell us if you think this influenced the test ...

The hubsan x4l is an even smaller quadricopter the famous Ladybird Walkera. Suffice to say that fits in a pocket handkerchief. Its dimensions? 6.4 cm rotor rotor, just like its predecessor, the X4. It must be said that the structure of the V2 model is absolutely the same as the first version. But if the first measured 2.8 cm in height, it is enhanced with 4 mm to a height of 3.2 cm. The reason ? Dsc_0006-600Ce are rubber pads which have been added under the feet of each motor. An excellent initiative to soften landings. Weight, logically, is not the same: the first model weighs 24.6 grams without the battery, the V2 switches to 27.8! And 36.4 grams with its battery ... The hull itself has not changed, except the part around the engines. The first version of X4 was criticized for electrical son fragile because apparent engines under the engines. The presence of rubber feet provide a fix. But it is unfortunate that these are still apparent son, this time on the outside of the engine. At first, they seem protected. But they may still be torn in case of crash. Also new: each foot motor home to a diode 2 blue to the front of the X4 V2, and 2 white for the back. Dsc_0001-600Hubsan appreciates reduces the height between each propeller and engine: 0 mm, compared with the 1.8 mm on the first model X4, say the documents released by the brand, adding that it allows prevent the motors are shock when crashing. That may be true, but we will not know that with use over time. The motherboard is still visible through the shell, and the battery rubs its underside when you insert it.

Battery, precisely, is a Li-Po 3.7V 240 mA. It comes with a USB type charger to plug into the socket of a computer (or any USB port provided it is powered). Turn on the radio (requires 4 AAA batteries), insert the battery into place and plug away. The connection is established instantly, with a tone that reflects the proper functioning of the whole. Dsc_0023-600Les diodes V2 X4 flash and then become fixed: you are ready to take off! If they still flash, the connection with the radio was not established, it must begin again. The radio was amended by Hubsan specifically for this new model. On the outside, however, absolutely no difference one sees. But the manufacturer ensures that the scope has been improved: 30 meters of the first model became 100 meters to the V2. In practice, we managed to retain control up to 80 meters. But be sure you will not see the X4 V2 beyond 60 meters, it is far too small to be distinguished from a distance, even with good eyes. Push the throttle, the X4 off V2 frankly and very stable. It may deviate a little, we must act on the trimmers to compensate for drift. In less than a minute, you get an almost perfect hover, and very reassuring stability. The controls respond perfectly and gently. You are in default Normal mode, a flexible and rather slow steering, adapted to learning.

If you want to drive a little more sporty way, you can switch to expert mode. To do this, simply press the throttle. The "Expert" statement appears on the screen, and that the controls become more nervous. Attention X4 V2 becomes a meteor to fly with skill, otherwise memorable crashes. Note that the Normal and Expert modes existed in the first version of X4. One real novelty was introduced with the V2 model: a long press on the throttle trim turns off the LEDs and switch them on again. Convenient. Attention, all diodes are concerned, that is to say on 4 engines and two little blue at the front (which are a little office of eyes to the X4). It is not possible to leave the two diodes on and turn off others.

If you like it, you could purchase it via Banggood. It is now the time of 10th anniversary, and you can purchase the rc quads by a 20% off discount. The rc drone gadgets are the same sold at low prices, such as mobius full hd sports camera, sd digital video recorder, sunnysky 700kv, etc.
