JXD 510G Predator Altitude Hold FPV Drone Flight Test Review

This 5.8 Ghz FPV quadcopter includes an effective altitude hold mode that makes FPV flying very easy. Find it here http://shrsl.com/?~cdir

This is an update to the previously released JXD 509G, and includes a lower profile, lower drag fuselage. Possibly for slightly improved performance in the wind.

Pro's
Good powered low lag 5.8Ghz transmitter. Provides FPV video range slightly in excess of 100 meters.
Quadcopter control range is also good at about 100 meters.
Includes 5.8Ghz FPV receiver and monitor screen.
2MP 720p HD camera.
Altitude hold! No need to mess with the throttle in horizontal flight. The quadcopter will automatically maintain the set altitude while flying.
Camera view angle may be adjusted up or down as desired.
Can work with third party Boscam capable goggles and monitors.
The quadcopter will descend to a bouncy landing when the battery is depleted. No falling from the sky :)
Quadcopter comes with needed microSD memory card and USB card reader so that you'll be able to record and download your videos.
Headless mode, and one key return.
Does not require FAA registration.

Con's
Video jello, and lots of it. Needs propeller balancing and possible camera mount modifications to help reduce vibrations to the camera.
Monitor screen very hard to see in sunlight, even with provided sunscreen. Can be greatly improved by fabricating your own screen to cut out most sunlight.
