Moreover, the quadcopter features LED lights at the front and back sides to enhance visibility when it’s in the air. Also, the lights blink to warn you when the battery is running low. That notwithstanding, the Hubsan X4 comes with four propellers, which help to improve its stability in the air.

The drone also has a plastic body construction that enhances its lightweight design. Its compact design might make some people confuse it as a mere toy. The drone also lets you attach propeller guards, minimizing the risk of the propellers injuring someone.

We could not write this Hubsan X4 review without mentioning the camera specifications on this quadcopter. The drone is fitted with an HD camera, which has a resolution of 1280 x 720. That allows it to capture aerial images and videos effectively.

Fortunately, the Hubsan X4 transmits the images you capture and footage you record to your controller. The controller has adequate settings, and you could even replay the videos you’ve recorded. It allows you to record images and videos onto an SD card. It can support MicroSD cards of up to 16 GB, and the memory card slot is built into the transmitter.

Another impressive feature that we could not fail to mention in this Hubsan X4 review is its controller. The controller gives you seamless control over your drone. Interestingly, the controller happens to be much larger than the Hubsan X4.

It comes with a 4.3-inch LCD screen, and it transmits photos and videos through 5.8 GHz. You need to know that the screen has a relatively low resolution, but it has enough brightness to improve visibility. However, you may have some difficulty when you fly it under bright direct sunlight.

Subsequently, the controller is fitted with plenty of settings. You can access them from the on-screen menu to perform the action you’d like. Remember, the memory card slot of this drone is situated in the controller. Unfortunately, you have to purchase your memory card separately. The bigger the capacity, the better. But, remember it is only expandable to up to 16 GB.

The Hubsan X4 quadcopter also features a 380mAH battery, which supports its flying capabilities. When the battery is fully charged, it should deliver a flight time of about seven minutes. That said, you should not expect much concerning the battery life on this gadget. That’s why we recommend this Hubsan X4 review to drone novices.

However, do not get discouraged by the short battery life of this drone. Why? The flight time it delivers is exceptional, considering its size. Moreover, it performs better than a majority of quadcopters within its category.

When the battery on your drone is running low, the LED lights begin to flash, notifying you that it’s time to land your drone. Furthermore, the battery gives you about twenty seconds when the lights begin to flash, allowing you to land it. That eliminates the worry of your drone encountering further damage from crashing into obstacles.

Due to the short battery life of this drone, it’s recommendable that you get extra batteries. They wouldn’t cost you much. The quadcopter comes with a USB charging cable, and it takes about half an hour for the battery to charge fully.

It would be wrong for us to carry out this Hubsan X4 review and fail to mention its durability. Fortunately, the X4 is durable enough, and it can withstand several falls without facing severe damage.

That makes this drone perfect for beginner flyers. You can also add prop guards to your drone to enhance its durability. However, if the propellers get broken, you’ll need to replace them.
