An excellent quadcopter from MJX, very high-torque, develops an impressive 45 km / h and this is expected, with its dimensions of 50 × 50 × 16 cm. This quadcopter can be called an analogue of the Syma X8W, but the camera is purchased additionally. Cameras for the X101 are available in various versions, both with video streaming to a smartphone and with recording to a memory card. MJX X101 is so powerful that it will lift GoPro camera or its Chinese counterparts and you can shoot videos with amazing professional quality.
APPEARANCE OF THE MULTICOPTER
The minimalistic design of the box is in white and is very attractive.
The quadcopter looks very modern and has an expressive look with a rather aggressive appearance.
CAMERA CONNECTIVITY
(optional) that allows you to watch the flight in real time on the screen of your smartphone (ios or android).
A 4Gb microSD card is included with the camera, thanks to which photo and video recording is duplicated both on a smartphone and on a memory card. Now you will always receive video with original quality, regardless of the broadcast signal.
FLIPS IN THE AIR
The MJX X101 quadcopter easily performs 3D flips and flips in the air with the push of a button.
CAMERA MOUNT
It is made in the form of a suspension with silicone inserts that dampen vibrations. Thanks to them, shaking in the frame is reduced, and the image becomes clearer.
AUTO RETURN
We press the special button and the copter flies in our direction. But it is worth remembering that this function, in entry-level quadcopters, does not always work correctly. If you deviate too much from the original course or fly over your head, the quadcopter may fly in the wrong direction.
6-AXIS GYRO
For constant stabilization of the quadrocopter in all planes, a 6-axis gyroscope is used.
BRUSHLESS MOTORS
More durable and powerful than conventional brushed brushed motors, but still not worth comparing them with brushless motors.
The X101 motors deliver enough power to lift a GoPro or similar.
REMOTE 2.4 GHz
The remote control operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and has a response time of 0.01 sec.
Convenient fine-tuning of MJX X101 power on the remote control.
BACKLIGHT
Super bright X101 copter beam illumination for night flying.
BLADES PROTECTION
Blade protection and additional blades are already included. During the first flights, we recommend installing protection for outdoor launches, because hard landings and shocks during training are inevitable.
GENERAL IMPRESSIONS
The quadcopter is easy to fly and perfect for beginner pilots. On the X101 you can get good piloting skills, master video shooting with broadcast if you purchase an additional camera. And if you want to see the quality of shooting with GoPro, no problem, the quadric will fly with it too! You can get excellent quality and practice shooting without broadcasting. The MJX X101 can be used commercially to capture the architectural features of buildings. But remember that the more you load the quadcopter, the less time it will fly.
Usually, the manufacturer specifies the flight time of the quadcopter in the specification, in the minimum configuration, that is, without any additional attachments, for our MJX X101 quadcopter, the flight time is up to 15 minutes. This applies to quadcopters of any kind, so if you plan to run a quadcopter in nature, on open places, it is worth considering an additional battery with a larger capacity. An additional battery is available. After flying off one battery, you land the quadcopter, change the battery and fly further. This is a common practice in modeling. After all, models that fly from 20 minutes are already considered longevity.
In general, you will get more from the quadcopter than you expected. Whether you are buying for yourself or looking for a gift, the MJX X101 will be an excellent option in any of these cases and will delight the owner with its capabilities for a long time.

When it comes to choosing a drone, few people think about the manufacturer MJX (Meijiaxin Toys), but in vain. The firm has won trust and recognition in America and practically in all European and Asian countries. Today we will get acquainted with one of the quadrocopters of this company MJX X101.
Appearance and equipment
Popularly, the MJX X101 quadrocopter was nicknamed the "killer" Syma X8G, as it is quite capable of competing with the X8G in terms of characteristics.
In length and width, the parameters of the device are about 50 cm, and the height of the drone is 18 cm. The device weighs 420 grams. The quadcopter is equipped with collector motors that provide good traction and are capable of lifting a GoPro camera or similar. Max speed flight is 45 km/h.
The drone is equipped with a backlight - red in front, blue in the back. You can fly at night, but we do not recommend letting the quadcopter go especially far.
The X101 comes with a dampened gimbal that aims to stabilize the image. The gimbal is not stabilized along the axes, so when the drone rolls, the camera also tilts. The platform for the battery is integrated into the suspension.
Drone package includes:
- Quadcopter MJX X101
- Control equipment
- Battery LiPo 2s 1200 mAh
- Charger
- Chassis
- 2 sets of screws
- Screw protection
- Screwdriver instruction (in English)
Copter in the air
The flight on one Li-Po battery lasts up to 15 minutes, depending on the load. It will take 2.5 hours of recharging to fully restore energy. As soon as there is a minimum of energy in the battery, the system will warn you about this by giving a sound, which will allow you to return the quad to the original one in time.
MJX X101 flies quite stable, 6 axis gyroscope does its job well.
Three flight modes are available: low, medium and high. Depending on the mode, the speed of the drone will be higher or lower, and the slopes will be steeper or smoother, respectively.
There is a flight (HeadLess) and a return to the starting point by pressing one button.
Be careful, the model does not contain GPS, so the return may not always work correctly.
If you are bored just flying, you can do flips, MJX X101 can do it too.
Camera
The camera is not included and must be purchased separately. Usually these are C4008 or C4010 FPV cameras, they shoot in real time, and you can follow the shooting from your smartphone.
In order to work with the camera, you need to install special application MJX FPV, which will be connected via Wi-Fi to the aircraft channel, after which the image will appear on the display.
During the filming process, two recordings of different quality will be created. The first one is broadcast on a smartphone, and it is much worse in quality than recording on a memory card, so the picture in the saved files will be clearer.
You can choose more a budget option, for example, C4005.
If you really want to get good quality video, you can install GoPro or any equivalent, for example, gitup git2.
Remote Control
The remote operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz Communication is maintained at a distance of 100 meters. The device works with 3 AA batteries, 1.5 V.
An interesting feature of the remote control is that there is a wheel on the right side that can adjust the power of the drone.
Conclusion
The review of the MJX X101 clearly shows that such a drone will be a great option for beginners, as it is quite easy to fly. Thanks to this, you can get basic piloting skills. If you buy a camera, FPV flights with broadcast to your phone will become available. .
Do not forget that the more you load the drone, the less time it will fly. Usually, the specifications describe the flight time without additional cargo, but if you launch a drone with a camera, the battery will drain faster. Therefore, it is worth considering buying a spare battery.
A drone without a camera will cost you 60 USD.
And already everyone will decide for himself whether it is worth buying it.
Despite the fact that the habits of the Internet community have spread literally to everything and everyone, it is quite difficult to find a written review on anything, and, in particular, on a quadrocopter (everyone went to likes under something they liked, and the voting took a hidden and an inconvenient form for statistics), we can say that there are still such reviews-responses to this model.
And this is not at all surprising, but, on the contrary, it is even quite natural, since the quadrocopter has a number of conducive to this positive qualities. And therefore, simply, even at the level of intuition, I like it. .
The copter operates with four-mode variability, when the quadcopter can be turned on in a flight mode that is convenient for you; there is a six-axis gyroscope stabilizing the movement; maneuvering, somersaults-somersaults "over the head" and speed with an upper threshold of 45 km / h - with it; Headless mode for connoisseurs of piloting - available; the ability to work through a smartphone / tablet with FPV and connect a high-quality video camera is also present.
That is why the reviews are positive. For example, he, lovingly, was called a "tarantula" for a very specific, brutal, some kind of military-style appearance. For me, it looks more like (although it has four wings, like any copter) an octopus. Such as they are drawn in modern fantasy cartoons.
However, not only the underwater octopus proportions and for some reason the slanting cat eyes of this copter won the hearts of its owners.
According to the reviews of the happy owners of the flying octopus, this quadro is a great fellow in both senses of the word.
The RC Quadcopter (with 2.4G RC, with FPV - X101) is quite large. It weighs 420 grams at 180mm high, 500mm wide and 505mm long.
And this plays into the hands of its owners, because therefore it is very stable, stable. He is not only "tall". It's tough and smart: it has screw guards, a hanging battery compartment, a handy long-range remote with a return to starting point button.
And if it is equipped with a video camera, for example, GoPro or MJX C4005, C4008, C4009, to choose from, it becomes a tool for a photo and video artist, because thanks to its good carrying capacity it easily carries the above video equipment options.
Let's dwell on the latter, since this is what the owners of this quadro pay attention to.
The four-winged aircraft MJX X101 with a camera works as usual, like other similar quadro-copters, and is used to receive high-resolution videos and even filming, so to speak,
"off the wheels" - like a reality show, in a real, concrete, today's time period.
And although those who own this model are most often respectable people (the MJX X101 is recommended only from the age of fourteen, and it’s better if an adult has an “octopus” - it’s too serious a car), one more of the positives: at night they are very respectable people can admire the flight of their "military" and depict from it for passers-by or neighbors a small flying saucer.
But seriously: the LED illumination of the “brutal” wings-beams make the copter clearly visible, and it will not get lost at dusk, if you suddenly get carried away with launches and do not notice how the evening has come, and even in the dark, if you suddenly do not want to interrupt flights due to for the coming of night.
