conclusions

If you are going to take Hubsan X4 H109S, then consider a few points:

  • There are different configuration quadrocopters. For example, one can be a lithium-polymer battery capacity of 5300 mAh, and the other - with a capacity of 7000 mAh. The same applies to the camera, so look carefully, what packaging is offered in stores.
  • Lower price leads to less quality assembly, material support of the manufacturer. If 700-900 dollars difference for you is not a problem, it is better to take the DJI Phantom 3.
  • It's still quadrocopter shooting amateur video, so if you want to have a professional video shooting at a high level, it is worth paying attention to the DJI S900, DJI S1000 Plus and similar models.
