Full review and test flight of the Helicute H818HW Hero 720p WIFi FPV Quad.
($47.70 shipped free if you select it in orange/black colors)
Update: It can record to the microSD card if you insert a card and then begin recording with the app which is very unusual since the controller has a video button that appears to function but it only creates a video folder on the card. The sdcard video is still only 20fps like the Wi-Fi video recorded directly to your phone (yes, it still records the Wi-Fi video stream locally to your phone's gallery) but it's recorded at a higher bitrate than the Wi-Fi footage which is to be expected. In comparing the sdcard footage to the Wi-Fi recorded video the difference in quality was negligible so the sample footage in my review is still valid but the sdcard is still recommended over the Wi-Fi because it won't drop frames like Wi-Fi if you happen to get to the edge of the fpv range. Sorry that I missed this!! I'm upset but others I talked to also didn't catch this.
PROS:
-very cool looking with unique design
-flies great
-altitude hold
-720p WIFI FPV feed is great and not laggy
