Selfie drones once used to be expensive electronic gadgets, but things have changed and now they are available at much better prices. Although JJRC H37 Elife isn’t a new product both design and feature wise, it is one of the most affordable selfie drones and can be a nice fun-gift. The little drone can be controlled using a smartphone, easily be folded and comfortably fits inside most pockets and back packs. H37 is not only a fun drone to fly, but also a great portable selfie drone for customers on a low budget. It’s compact and lightweight design allows users to take it anywhere with them, while they also don’t have to worry about carrying a remote control as it can be controlled via smartphones.
The foldable design of H37 Elife allows users to tuck in the arms and easily carry it around with them. They don’t even have to worry about damaging the arms as they stay safe inside the quadcopter. Weighing only 73 grams, the quadcopter is almost half the weight of an average smartphone and is extremely portable. It can be controlled using JJRC UFO app, which provides all the basic quadcopter controls such as throttle, trims, pitch etc. You obviously cannot expect much from a 0.3 MP selfie camera, but H37 still delivers great value for the money and it’s hard to find a camera on such a low priced drone. H37 is not all about cutting costs and features as it offers multiple flight modes that make flying more fun, including headless mode, aerobatic flight, aerial show and G-sensor control.
