JJRC X9P GPS enabled 4K drone for less than $300

Surely, the biggest upgrade of the JJRC X9P compared to its predecessor is the 4K camera and optical flow positioning. The “Pro” version has 4096 X 3072 photo and 1920 X 1080 video resolution. The 4K camera is mounted on a 2-axis gimbal to allow super smooth footage. The camera’s FPV range is around 800 meters, close to the advertised 1km control range.

Unfortunately, in terms of flight time, there is no improvement. Like its predecessor, the X9P also has about 15 minutes of airborne time. In my opinion, a 3s/1000mAh battery is too small for a 258-gram aircraft.

Thanks to the GPS-assisted fail-safe return-to-home feature, the JJRC X9P quadcopter will autonomously return to the take-off point if the flight battery is near empty.
