Size and Design

The first thing that you will notice about the X4 is its tiny size. The quad isn’t much bigger than a Smartphone. The X4 comes with small rubber feet designed to absorb landings. Its sleek design is accompanied by an all-black coating with a pair of streaks along both sides of the frame. Also, the rotors of this quad might be a bit louder than other models of the same size.

The Hubsan X4 is an indoor quadcopter with an extremely balanced body. Indoors, this quadcopter flies very aggressively. It also offers responsive, simple-to use controls that even complete beginners can get used to pretty fast.

The Hubsan X4 is not recommended for outdoor flying because of its lightweight. If you want to fly it outdoor, try to fly it when weather conditions are optimal because this quad has a tendency of getting tossed around by the wind.

What’s in the Box?

The Hubsan X4 H107L is a RTF model. This means that it’s ready to fly as soon as you take it out of the package. You’ll receive the following with your purchase:

  • The Hubsan X4 H107L quadcopter
  • Transmitter – The quad’s controller comes with 4-channels and operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency and is considered to be fairly universal.
  • 7V 240mah Li-Po battery
  • USB Charger – When the battery is completely dead the charging takes about 40 minutes. You can charge the battery back up to maximum capacity by connecting it to a laptop or computer via the USB cable.
  • Instruction manual
  • Spare Propellers – you can’t avoid breaking or losing propellers when flying quadcopters. Even the most experienced pilots encounter this problem. Luckily, spare propellers come in the package and they are color-coded. This makes the installation process less confusing and new propellers can simply and quickly be installed in place of old ones.

Battery

The package of this model includes a high capacity Li-Po battery. The charging time of this quad is 40 minutes and you can expect a flight time of around 9 minutes when the battery is fully charged. Bear in mind that your actual flight time depends on whether or not you are flying in the wind, as well as how aggressively you fly your X4. So 9 minutes is only an average. It is recommended to buy spare batteries, considering that the flight time for the X4 isn’t that long.

Transmitter

The Hubsan X4 transmitter comes with a power button, flight mode buttons, trim buttons, an LCD screen and two joysticks. The transmitter is very ergonomic, fits well in your hands and looks like a modified PS3 controller with style. As far as transmitter signal distance is concerned, you will be able to fly this quadcopter up to 30 meters away. The response time of the X4 and the transmitter are extremely accurate. The Hubsan X4 handles superbly even though it falls into the entry category of indoor quadcopters.

It provides the drone’s body with enough balance to make it sturdy. However, it still manages to make it as flexible as possible. When press the right joystick in a specific direction, the quad will fly there without any problem. The X4’s performance can be described in one word – „smooth“. If you are looking for a fast, manoeuvrable, responsive and agile drone at an affordable price, then the Hubsan X4 is definitely a top candidate to consider.

Anti-Flip Mode

The anti-flip mode can be activated only when you are flying on Expert Mode. The anti-flip mode prevents you from performing single-button flips with your X4.
