Altitude Hold mode

It has a height hold function, so when the drone is flying more than 1 meter heigh, if you release the throttle stick the drone will keep hovering at the current height. To do that it uses an advanced barometer that measures the air pressure.

One key return

With just one key you can activate the automatic return function, you can call back your copter quickly and safety. The drone can locate the remote control, and when you press the one-key return button, it will fly back to the RC’s position. So you won’t risk to lose your drone!

One Comment on “MJX X601H Hexacopter review”

  1. It’s a nice hexacopter with lots of features not usually found in other drones but it has the following weaknesses :

    1) It can be pretty fragile. The arms can break pretty easily upon moderate to heavy impact

    2) It continues to fly after signal with transmitter is lost. Usually other drones will cut power to the rotors when signal is lost but not for this model. Mine just flew away into the horizon…..
