Design and Specifications
The Review & Testerbang Drone H23 GPS is equipped with a 3-piece A2 battery type, which is quite convenient. The motor size is similar to the E88 and S5S drones. It also features a GPS system and an optical flow sensor at the side back. The camera can be adjusted using the remote control, and the drone comes with a detailed manual for calibration and compass functions.
Battery and Charging
The drone uses a 1S, 38.37 battery with a capacity of around 1000 MAH. The battery can be easily removed and connected, similar to the E88 drone. When compared to the Drone E88 Max, the drone’s size and dynamism are almost the same, making it a budget-friendly option in the Mini brushless class.
Mobile App Integration
The drone can be connected to a mobile phone using the HK4K app or other drone applications for more advanced settings. This feature allows users to monitor GPS data and adjust settings conveniently. The camera quality is decent, considering the price, even though it lacks a gimbal for stabilization.
Flight Test and Performance
Before taking off, the drone must be calibrated vertically and horizontally. Once the GPS is locked, the drone can be launched. The drone’s flight is stable and smooth, thanks to the GPS system, allowing for easy maneuvers. The presence of an RTH button for automatic return-to-home feature adds to the drone’s safety measures.
Camera Quality
The camera of the H23 GPS drone is decently clear, although it still shakes a bit due to the lack of a gimbal or stabilization. The footage obtained from the WiFi connection is acceptable for a drone of this range.
WiFi Range
The WiFi range of the H23 GPS drone is quite good, allowing for stable connectivity within a reasonable distance. This is a crucial factor to consider when operating a drone that relies on WiFi for transmitting live footage.
SD Card Slot
One downside of the H23 GPS drone is the absence of an SD card slot. This means that all footage must be stored and accessed through the WiFi connection, which can be inconvenient for users who prefer to have physical storage options.
Overall Performance
In general, the H23 GPS drone is a solid option for beginners or hobbyists looking to explore drone photography or videography. While it may not have all the advanced features of higher-end drones, it offers a good balance of affordability and functionality.
