Just when the selfie craze seemed not to offer more news, here is JJRC H37 Elfie that promises to revolutionize your self-portraits.
JJRC H37 Elfie is actually really portable and ready to use. We can compare the dimensions to a phablet, you can keep it in your pocket to extract it when needed, thanks also to a propeller extraction system. In fact, with winged wings it measures just 13.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 cm, while when it is opened 16 x 13.5 x 2.5 cm. The drone is equipped with some of the latest technologies:
-The 6-axis gyroscope sensor that allows it to be controlled by the movements of the phone (if equipped with gyroscope).
- The acrobatic function gives the drone the ability to make 360° turns towards the chosen direction.
- Air stabilization makes sure that the drone always remains at the same height or that it comes back if it is moved from external sources (for example pushing it down with the hand, the drone will immediately try to return to the starting point).
Not having the gyroscope on my smartphone I could not try its first function, but I noticed that it can also work with the accelerometer but with poor results. The acrobatic function needs a lot of space in every direction regardless of what you order. The stabilization of the altitude seems to work well enough, it is not always accurate to return to its starting point, but if you are not you to change its position probably you will not notice the inaccuracy.
H37 Elfie is controlled via wifi with a mobile app directly from a smartphone with a maximum radius of 40 meters.
The battery, unfortunately given the size could not be that of type Lipo from 3.7V and 500mAh. It allows you from 8 to 12 minutes of use, with a charge time of up to 2 hours. It is an excellent drone for novices as it is not easy to damage it accidentally.
At the beginning the controls are a bit difficult to use,but in a short time you can master the flight well enough. Low the quality for the camera that does not exceed 480p, but at this price i think you can not expect more from this little drone, certainly an excellent gift idea in view of holidays.
JJRC H37 Elfie is available for sale on Gearbest for less than € 50.
