Since I published my DJI MINI 2 alternatives article, I got tons of questions “Which is the best” or “Which is the cheapest” the new JJRC X25 looks like an incredible drone for its money. With a starting price of just $70.99, it has an excellent folding design, GPS positioning, brushless motors, and an intelligent obstacle avoidance system. Of course, for this price, you can’t expect the quality and reliability of a 400 bucks DJI drone.
The JJRC X25 comes with a dual HD camera system. While the primary camera features a single-axis gimbal that allows remote angle adjustment (0-90 degrees), the bottom camera acts like a visual positioning sensor.
Thanks to the fail-safe return to home function (RTH), the JJRC X25 quadcopter will automatically return to the take-off point in case of RC signal loss or low flight battery voltage. RTH can be triggered manually as well. The drone is powered by a 2cell battery that allows about 16-18 minutes of flight time.
