SJRC Z5 foldable GPS drone under $100

SJRC Z5 GPS foldable drone

From the first look, it is obvious that the SJRC Z5 drone is a redesigned version of the VISUO XS812. It comes with similar foldable design and about same features. While the VISUO drone adopts nice rounded lines, the SJRC Z5 quadcopter has square edges. The transmitters of these two drones are a bit different.

According to the advertised specs, the 2s-1200mAh battery allows up to 14 minutes play time. While the control range is more than 500 meters, the FPV range is about only 100-150 meters.

In front of the drone is located a full hd 1080P camera with remote angle adjustment. You can opt between 2.4G and 5G FPV versions.
