JJRC H20 was the third out of three of the drones I received for my birthday this year. I tried to pick out drones that were from different companies and a bit unique, so this particular model was picked because it has six motors.
When I was deciding whether or not to get this model, I did pay attention to the existing reviews on Amazon, and although they were mostly positive, a few pointed out that the drone flew a little wonky. It wasn't until about the 5th or 6th flight (with no bad crashes) that I noticed it sometimes has a hard time flying straight. At this point, I wish I had more flight experience with this model to get a more accurate idea of what's going on. But other than that, the drone flies well.
The H20, like EACHINE's E010, features a removable battery. Benefits of this include extra flight time for additional batteries and easy replacement if the original battery goes bad.
The drone also integrates both headless mode and return to home features. To be blunt, I don't recall testing the headless mode too much on this drone. I'll have to add in an update with my thoughts on that later. And the return to home feature is about as reliable as Eachine's E010. By this point, I'm not sure if I'm just a little bit too much of a novice (and perhaps misunderstanding the features) or if they really aren't working as intended. But as usual, use these features cautiously and maintain line-of-sight and control of the drone regardless!
After having to purchase separate prop guards for the Cheerson CX-10, I was pleasantly surprised that this model came with built-in prop guards. Of course, there are ways for objects to slip in between the guards, but the way they are built makes it less likely that the drone will get caught on anything. I tried to remove one once, but it does seem to be VERY built-in, and (as a novice drone hobbyist) I didn't want to take apart something I couldn't put back together. A more experienced drone enthusiast would likely be able to remove them without any trouble.
Another interesting thing about this drone is its speed. This little monster is ridiculously fast! Even at the lowest speed level, I found myself a little afraid of how quick the H20 zips around. I couldn't imagine using a higher speed mode for this one unless I was flying outside.
It's probably also worth mentioning that the controller does not look like it goes with this drone at all. Most of the mini quadcopters have similarly colored bodies and controllers, but JJRC decided to put a red and black drone with a white and blue controller. Not really an issue, but just make sure your drone and controller stay together!
