Hubsan X4 mini drone fails and crashes

The Hubsan X4 H107C mini drone is an excellent drone for learners and beginners, and there is one good reason for this. The reason the X4 mini drone is such a good buy for beginners is because it is tough, strong and durable. This little drone can take many crashes and scrapes, and still come out the other end unscathed.

My Hubsan X4 H107C has been crashed and banged around several times, and I have given it some real punishment. My H107C is a bit scratched and scraped but it still works as it should.

To see just how tough this little drone is, take a look at the video above all captured when I was flying my Hubsan X4 mini drone. 

Flying the Hubsan X4 H107 mini drone outside

The Hubsan X4 H107C mini drone is a tiny drone that can be used both indoors and out. Yep, despite it's tiny size Hubsan are confident the H107 mini drone can hold its own outdoors, and I thought I would test this out.

The Hubsan H107 mini drone is a great indoor drone, there are no arguments about that, but what's it like to fly outside? Take a look at the short clip above and see for yourself.

What is the camera on the Hubsan X4 H107C really like?

The Hubsan X4 H107C mini drone is a great drone for learners and beginners, and one of the first questions many people want to know is "what's the camera on it like?" Rather than trying to explain what the video quality is like it's far easier to show you, and that is what the video above is for.

The video above was captured using the Hubsan X4 H107C and has no editing done to it whatsoever. Yep, the footage is taken straight out of the camera, uploaded to a movie making program and then uploaded to the internet. Along the way I have added some captions, but that's it.
