Hubsan X4 H107C 2MP Review, Observations, and Flight Footage

In today's honest and uncensored Channel 2012 review video, we dive in and take a closer look at the Hubsan X4 H107C Quadcopter flying machine (the upgraded model with the 2 Megapixel HD camera module) and cover everything you need to know before you consider buying or flying. Flight footage is included as well.
Now presented in Channel 2012 Stereo and 720p High Definition.

A great informative video. Thanks for sharing it with us! My wife bought me one of these for Xmas, although I am a (very young) 69 year old!. I've never had so much fun in all my life. I'm just starting to practice indoors and am just getting the hang of its characteristics before I go outside with it. I've flown (real) single engine fixed wing, and I have two model RC fixed wing aircraft, but this is so much more fun. You explain things very well and concise. So much better than the manual that came with it. Well done.

[@Browningate]

Glad you liked it; enjoy the flight.

[@DavidSolanes]

When you're flying this drone, don't you hear such an "ultrasound"? I mean, a very sharp sound. Do you know why? Great job, our review helped me :)

[@Browningate]

Glad it helped! Could you be more specific about the sound that you've been hearing?

[@ehyouman]

Well done video & overview

[@jreign]

Best vid for new X4 users. Wish I saw this earlier before crashing into things. It's my first quadcopter.

[@davevanwye497]

Great video and very informative review. Thanks I just ordered my x4 and I am a complete novice at remote controlled flying machines...looking forward to lifting off!

[@auck1969]

Great review on the Hubsan H107C!👍

[@amromousa4276]

Does the protector will be in every package?

[@Jamiegrigor]

I get at least 10 minutes of flight time with mine and if the led's start flashing I have about 1-2 minutes to bring it back in. But I have a standard camera model. I did mange to take mine out of range today there was a little bit of wind and I couldn't see which way it was facing while flying it really high not sure how high as it is so small so hard to estimate, so ended up flying it further away from me opps. Fell a very long way tumbled for a while then levelled out before hitting the ground on grass. No damage at all 👍🏻 and I still had the footage to watch after as I managed to find it before it died flashing led's helped with this. Brilliant Video I might add.

[@Browningate]

Thanks for sharing. Ten minutes is a good amount of flight time. It's been my experience that the batteries don't last for many cycles, unfortunately, but they aren't too terribly costly to replace either (although it probably does add up over time). Keep that thing within radio range and line-of-sight, and it should serve you well.

[@Spreadie]

That isn't a "mode 2" controller - read the manual dude! You can switch between modes 1 & 2 with a simple routine that takes a few seconds.

[@Browningate]

Spreadie I'm not so sure about that. The vertical axis of the left analog stick on a mode 2 is not springloaded. If you could just switch it around, it would be easy to lose your quadcopter because it (that is the right analog stick on a mode 2) would naturally jump to half throttle if you weren't holding it down.

[@LordOrio]

***** the new controlers can do it,but if you have an older controler it canot swich modes

[@zoltangremsperger5361]

very good review! you helped me a lot. thanks!

[@Browningate]

Glad it helped; thanks!

[@spress97]

cheers bud I didn't even know there was a protector underneath the packaging lol

[@Browningate]

+Alexander Presslie Great, glad I was able to help you find it :-).

[@Browningate]

@IndominusRex This is your final warning. Stop spamming the comments section of this video or you will be banned from posting comments on any video on this channel. Thanks and have a great day!

[@CoolJetta3]

"Not gonna bore you with unboxing details." Proceeds to unbox and show the empty packaging and explain what was in the empty packaging lol

[@Browningate]

Fair enough :-). That said, I do believe I dwelt on it for a minimal amount of time, and I didn't even pretend to be taking it out of the package for the first time.

[@CoolJetta3]

Yeah I understand. Just messing with you. It struck me as funny when I watched it last night. I'm glad for the video though as I have one on the way

[@richorend]

can u put a bigger battery in it like 500mah to get a extra minutes of flight?

[@Browningate]

+Richie Bata Yes. The blue battery featured in the video has more mil-amp power than the stock battery and gives in an extra minute or two of flight time. It does take much longer to recharge, but it appears to be able to operate for more cycles before wearing out.

[@yessyess5615]

were can the recording be seen

[@grahamsmith2022]

Holy cow,I had no idea it would go so high,I've flown mine in the house and it seems to take a lot of throttle to get it 4 feet high but then it does seem to want to really take off,as you say,visibility is key and you must have eyes like an eagle to see it at the height you got there!😉

[@Browningate]

+Graham Smith A calm day and careful control (and sometimes sunglasses depending on how bright it is) are a must for maintaining control at high altitudes like that. If you lose visual contact or control of it for even a second or two, that could be the end of it. Also, don't do what I did and fly it where there is a fairly narrow line of sight with tall trees on one side and a house on the other (I've had two crash landings/close calls flying from where the footage in the video was shot); instead, take it to a wide-open field because the margin for error will be much larger and you'll actually have a chance of finding it if you do crash land. I've not lost mine yet but have had far too many close calls.

[@grahamsmith2022]

***** got you dude,I thought flying something tiny like this would be extremely risky at altitude,I know from my job when you get 10+ feet of the ground the wind begins to increase dramatically on open ground,obviously these will be extremely susceptible to even a breeze.I've already lost my e flyer phoenix like that so thanks for the advice.😉

[@richorend]

one more thing can u charge the battery in the regular wall outlet or the voltage is too high destroying your battery? thanks for the info, appreciate it

[@Browningate]

+Richie Bata The battery charger is USB, so if you have a USB mains adapter ("wall wart"), you can recharge the battery that way if you'd like.

[@thereeldeelsteel]

Great vid. Very informative so thanks for uploading!

[@egbulldog7928]

"Bring it back to earth". So it goes to outer space?!! I'm getting one right now!

[@Browningate]

+Egbulldog79 Heh, I wouldn't recommend trying to fly it that high. You'd lose track of it.

[@egbulldog7928]

+Channel 2012 yea I know, was kidding

[@TheTubeTempest]

Mine stays up for 6 or 7 minutes before it blinks.

[@Browningate]

+TheTubeTempest Mine did too at first, but the flight times get shorter the more you use it. The stock battery that came with mine crapped out completely this summer (starts blinking after

[@TheTubeTempest]

***** you can buy the batteries on eBay real cheap from china. less than 2.00 each. I love the hubsan I learned with it and it took some serious abuse. I did need to change a few motors. I bought the 2mp versions and now that I know how to fly i never crash it so it should last a long time.

[@Browningate]

TheTubeTempest Nice. I might have to pick up some fresh batteries myself.

[@makalania_bdo]

I'm going to buy the 720p camera unit upgrade.

[@Browningate]

Cool. Let us know how it goes.

[@makalania_bdo]

Will do

[@kitandwaisextremevidsofstu8180]

no-one cares about the tedious process about returning the package

[@Browningate]

+KitandWai'sExtremeVidsofSTUFF It's important to know the risks of buying stuff overseas. Obviously this wasn't typical, but it happens sometimes.

[@kitandwaisextremevidsofstu8180]

***** ok sorry

[@Browningate]

***** I forgive you. How about a hug? ;-)

[@kitandwaisextremevidsofstu8180]

ha no :)

[@LordOrio]

btw if you dont want to loos it,you can buy a tracer for about 15 bucks,and know its location

[@Browningate]

Lord Orio How does that work?

[@LordOrio]

***** you glue it on drone,turn it on,and wia phone aplication you can track it(most of trakers can be used with phone gps system and maps)

[@Browningate]

Lord Orio Like a sort of tracker?

[@LordOrio]

***** yes kynda

[@Browningate]

Lord Orio So, the device attaches to the quad and then relays its position set by the GPS back to the phone using Bluetooth?

[@katiecutler9323]

where can i buy a similar 500 battery?

[@Browningate]

Katie Cutler I bought mine along with the quadcopter itself from TMart, but you may be able to find a better deal on it somewhere else.

[@LordOrio]

wach out of birds,or this will beckome part of theyr nest

[@Browningate]

Lord Orio You mean "their"?
