Design and Portability
The architecture of ThieEYE Dr.X stands out from the crowd. It doesn’t appear to be your typical drone. It’s also really small and light-weighted, which adds to its portability. How lightweight is it? ThiEYE Drone Dr.X Drone is 11 x 11 x 4.30 cm in size (4.33 x 4.33 x 1.69 inches).
The fact that the propeller guards can be easily removed is a unique feature of this drone. As a result, you have the choice of flying with or without them. If you’re explaining and educating your kids about how to fly a drone, for example, you may want to use the guards to ensure that no injury or damage is done to propellers, people, or things.
Flight
Normally, you wouldn’t expect a great deal from a drone-like this, but it’s performing admirably. It not only maintains its elevation and altitude and responds promptly to your orders, but it also has an optical flow framework to assist the drone in maintaining its altitude.
The Drone flies with remarkable stability. It takes off right away with a quick push of the ‘ascend’ icon and a swipe to accept. The optical flow and barometric detector, combined with 6-axis gyro stabilization, ensures a completely stable flight (given it is not too windy).
The optical flow allows the drone to fly at a consistent speed and with smooth power, while the target positioning system ensures excellent stability. On the drone, you can choose between different velocities: low and fast. Low speed is ideal for indoor flight because you’ll have to be more vigilant there, and the obstruction senses work better at that speed.
The high speed is suitable for outdoor flight because there are comparatively fewer obstacles to destroy your drone. You can even choose between two flight modes in the settings, one being the selfie mode, which keeps the drone facing towards you at all times, allowing you to take amazing selfies without having to navigate the drone too much.
The aerial mode, on the other hand, is for the less self-centred individuals since the drone’s tail would be facing the operator, i.e. you.
Camera Quality
Putting aside the fact that we’re talking about a tiny drone, it has an impressive camera. The Thieye has a 1080p camera, while other drones have a larger package and a higher price but only have a 720p or 480p camera, which is insufficient for anything.
However, with a 1080p camera and a little practice, you can create some very fascinating, good quality, and interesting videos for yourself and your social media platform. Dr. X has several different flight modes. The headless mode, for example, ensures that the drone still follows your commands from your viewpoint, regardless of the direction it is heading.
It also has a ‘keep up’ mode that ensures Dr. X stays at the same height when operating the controls normally. The drone has a 1080P WIFI camera and can be controlled by an app on your phone, giving you a fun flying experience. You can also take pictures and film videos to help you remember things.
A stunt aerial is created by 3D flips performed with incredible athleticism. A 3.7V 650mAh LiPo battery powers the unit, with a flight time of around 6-8 minutes and a charge time of almost 2 hours.
Remote Control
The developers decided that giving this drone Remote Control would be a bad idea. We, on the other hand, completely disagree. And no matter how large or intelligent it is, it can never have the same adjustable feel as a real controller. You can’t feel the keys, so you have to keep checking that your fingertips are in the right spot.
Also, if your phone lacks a specific frequency, the signal may be lost, and you will lose control of the drone; fortunately, this software only needs 2.4 GHz to control the drone. This is advantageous because it can be controlled by almost any smartphone, but the best part is that it will enable the drone to fly 50 meters away from you.
The other advantage is that you don’t have to bring a device with you all the time; all you have to do is take your phone out of your pocket to ensure it is powered.
The App
The app is available for installation and use on any smartphone, regardless of the operating system installed on your computer. Since the settings on the apps are so simple to set up, you’ll be able to find the configuration that best suits your needs. You can change your phone’s control technique to Joystick or Motion-Sensibility.
You may also set the joystick habit into two separate modes: one for the American habit and one for the Japanese habit. Essentially, this determines where the joysticks will be placed. After connecting the drone to the app, you’ll see some simple telemetry information on your phone, such as the connection speeds and battery level on your phone.
Battery
This drone’s 650mAh battery can be charged through a mini USB port on the back of the device. Keep in mind that to charge the batteries, you must first charge the drone, else, the battery would not charge at all. The drone will be able to fly for 7 minutes on a single charge. Take into account the fact that this is a very small drone, and there isn’t much space inside for a larger one.
Storage
All of the content is stored on a micro SD card that must be inserted into the drone’s charging port at the rear.
