Hey Cap'n, I just ordered my Aurora from geekbuy, looks to be arriving next week, Monday but who knows with this COVID19 madness. Anyways, I wanted to thank you for sharing the links to the apps, I was almost going desperate when I didn't find any of the apps that are supposed to work with the JJRC X12 Aurora. Can't wait to get mine, hook it up and see if I can fly it. I have a patch of green with some trees in front of the apartment block I live in so I think I could give it a quick run to see how stable it is under GPS+OpticalFlow+Sonar sensors. I know these versions have been influenced by the DJI models they compete with so I'm keen to see how well they perform. I already have three other drones, older models (CX-20 and Quanum Nova Pro plus a "manual" Syma X8 which I mutated into a brushless version but since it lacks GPS is just for flying around for short runs) Anyways this video was really helpful, particularly the links for the apps. I just hope my tablet fits in the phone mount, otherwise I'll have to design and 3D print an adapter, no big deal just something to "customize" it. My smartphone doesn't know about 5GHz WiFi but surprisingly my 3 years old tablet apparently does - it connects to my 5G WiFi router so it must be up to something. As always, nice video. Keep it up. Cheers, Denis PS: Well the drone got here, fast which was impressive, then again I paid for fast shipping. Now the bad parts: 1. The apps (neither Enjoy-FLY nor C-Fly) don't seem to work properly. At first the drone took a long time connecting to the controller but eventually the light on the back of the drone turned flashing green from flashing blue. At this point I was able to get the app to show the image when connected to the Drone-xxxx wifi while also the drone was connected to the controller. When I entered the app it kept telling me it's under the remote controller's control. I was also able to calibrate the compass and gyro. All seemed good to go. Now When closing the app it told me to unbind from the app. It seemed odd but I turned the drone back on, the controller and went into the app, where it said Unbind app I clicked the button. This is where my nightmare began. Now the drone keeps flashing blue and there's no Drone-xxxx wifi anymore!!!! Neither my tablet nor the remote controller can find the drone to connect to it. Anyone else seen this odd behavior before? Any ideas how to "reset to factory defaults" the drone so the darn thing is ready to be found and paired with the controller again? It goes without saying I've been scrubbing the internet high and low but there's not even a chinglish document or hint of how to fix this.
Hey bud, been watching your videos for a while now, I really enjoy your reviews I've been getting into drones and want to eventually start doing some aerial videography. I had a Yuneec Typhoon 4k which I really loved but since I was such an amateur I had issues controlling it and crashed it a couple times. I've since then sold it and have been looking for an inexpensive but good quality drone. I've seen in some sites that they are advertising this as a 4k camera drone but every review I've seen including yours say it's really a 1080p camera. Is that only with slower memory or can you get close to 4k with a higher speed SD card? Thanks in advance for any input, I'll keep watching your videos and hopefully one day I'll be making my own! Have a good evening and stay safe during this pandemic!
@@legacylee If you had a Typhoon H before, then you would be stepping down big time to this drone. This is an entry level budget drone, whereas the Typhoon H is more a pro drone. Perhaps a Mavic Mini or higher would be more your speed. What you see in this video, is what this drone can do and nothing more.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798first of all thanks for the quick reply, I don't get that with a lot of the channels I message, I appreciate that. It was actually the Q500, but as i said, I crashed it a couple times as I kept making rookie mistakes. Perhaps I should've purchased something like this before shelling out $700 for the Typhoon Q500 ($600 for the drone another $100 for the additional battery) so I still need to master drone flight before getting back up to that level of drone again. I've been looking into the Mavic Mini, I want something with great camera quality but with some kind of obstacle avoidance without spending an arm and a leg. So you think the mini should be a good fit? Thanks again brother, keep flying I look forward to more videos!
@@legacylee The mini is great with basic features in a small size (that is the selling point), however, it has no follow or obstacle avoidance. You'd have to move up to the Mavic Air for that. The Mavic Air should go on sale soon since the replacement is coming out in the next month or two.
I ended up purchasing one after watching your video. I truly admire your professionalism and how go through the full specs and functions of the drone. Can’t afford a Mavic Mini, Yuneec Mantis G or Husban Zino Pro at the moment so I’ll have to settle for this one right now until then. Thanks again for putting out these videos.
Hey Capt! After many hours of watching your reviews on budget drones. i pulled the trigger on this one to be my first. Thank you for this honest review, very impressed with the operation right out of the bag. Now my daughter and I can make some great kayak fishing videos without the behind the head standard gopro vision! Thank you and keep up the excellent work!!
Thank you! I really like the way you film these reviews. You get to the drone flying and show it in action without wasting time. You do the unboxing at the end which is a more interesting way of presenting things. 🙏🏼
Great review and demo of its essential features, thank you very much! Ordered and waiting the Eachine X4 version, both coming from the original C-Fly Faith drone.
Great review, I have been looking for a solid camera drone without the Mavic price, sold me on this one I ordered and got the pre Black Friday discount. Subscribed and thumbs up
What an amazing starter 1080p drone! I went from a Parrot Bebop 2 (Which is a good 1080p starter) to a Mavic Air. I can tell you, if I had paid around $200 for the JJRC X12 I would be a happy man! What a great inexpensive introduction to drones!! Great video as always!!
Thank you for this review, it is the best demonstration I have found. I'm in Australia and first considered the Zino Pro because of all the issues and limitations with the original Zino, but they are about $200 more here than importing it. I don't trust any of the sellers feedback scores in online stores like Aliexpress and Banggood and they can't be air freighters anyway, so they would take weeks to arrive by ship, so I went with the X12. I'm glad I did because not only does it look better IMO, but it has more features, smaller and seems to have less issues plus it's a little cheaper ($399AUD 2x battery and bag). The Zino Pro here is about $600-700 with 2 batteries and no bag. Still awaiting it's arrival, can't wait!
Got mine on it's way thanks to you and the reviews here. I have the 4k version coming. Cannot wait. Upgrading from a hubsan 507a and this will be so much better I'm sure. Mainly wanted for the gimble which I've never had and the tracking which looks awesome, aswell as flight time. I've had many other cheap drones until they stopped working for various reasons and my hubsan has been the only one with GPS so far and this with three ways of holding position will be a lot better. Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming.
Hi CD Checked your CZcams of a JJRC X12 Aroura. I purchased 1. Everything abouts it is great. I found it easy to operate. I bought an SD card and all's good!!. I also ordered 2x batteries. Now for good days and lots of ✈ fly time plus filming📷🎥. I will post a YU of drone in action soon. Thanks again 😃👍👍👌
I just bought this drone from Amazon with 3 batteries for $299 total price. I did not want to buy from anyone else, simply for the return policy Amazon has, just in case. I'm looking forward to receiving this recommended drone from Capt. Drone. Love his videos. They are easy to watch, calm, and to the point. His review of this JJRC X12 was my reason for picking this drone. Thanks from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
This looks to be the one. I keep reviewing all your posts in this hunt. But this thing is slick and smoothe and appears to be what it needs to be ! Killer review. Wulfy
This one looks awesome , Its going to be my next one. I can't believe a 3 axis GIMBLE !!!!! I'm ordering one before they go up in price ...Thanks Cap !!!!
Very very impressed with this drone, although it is a low cost model, it really puts out high quality performance, features, videos and pics. Overall a really good buy for a beginner or a pro. May add this to my collection 😊
Okay, finally THIS!!!!!!!!!!! We knew it would happen and it has a 3 Axis Gimbal with a good( not perfect) but really good 1080p camera. This is absolutely the one that breaks that barrier finally. We will be seeing more now, JJR. has thrown down the gauntlet on this one and said here it is come get me fellas. I’m really excited about this, may not have all the features of a DJI drone but for a first time hobbist this is a solid homerun of a drone. I don’t see how you could wrong with this. I’m really impressed and excited that someone has finally done it. Yes this Mav Mini is coming but for Starter in drones this could very well be the one to start with. Excellent Steve, great to see this bird.
@Brendan Koh Wow, usually before you blindly insult someone you try to find out something about them. I've been flying DJI for over 2 years and DJI only. You should go back to your Syma toys and let the grown men and women fly the real masters of the sky. Currently own a Mavic Air and Spark. Had a Phantom 3SE but after I purchased the Air I sold it a Farm owner who wanted to get some pictures of this farm and Video for family. With extras I have over 700.00 in the Spark and 1300.00 in my Air. Knowledge is power. You have none. An ignorant person is one who lacks knowledge, again you have none. Don't walk on thin ice, you may fall through.
Wow...looks like a good little package. Good price and features. Think I’m getting this. Yep. I’m getting it. Very stable video and flight. Good review!
I always enjoy watching your review Capt.. Thanks alot.. Based on your review.. I really like the videos & photos that made by this X12.. Once again.. Thanks.. 👍👍👍
Finnaly,foldable drone with brushless motors,good range,good battery life,3 axis gimball and resasoneble price...I know many people who want to spend max 200$ for begginer drone with this specificaton...Good job Captain Drone, obviously next season will be much interesting for drone enthusiast.
Pretty nice drone that really seems to tick off all the boxes. The big guys better watch out, the quality and performance as well as the quality of the video for this money is hard to beat. Looks like I found my next drone. Thanks for the great video
this is what i thought, everything seems to be finished/polished and works - i was watching reviews on the xaomi fimi x8 and the tracking etc seems to be SO poor on it almost like its not finished (an that was 12 months on from release after updates)
What a star you are. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. It's been a while, but I have in mind what you said about shipping from china and that was a great help.Thank you, once again.
Thank you for the love heart, my EX4 as arrived. Had a little go, but we still have the gales you sent us, here in the UK. I'm hoping you can fathom out the MV button.
nice video, thank you , 2 years ago , i spent 3 times the price to build my own with about the same capabilities , last week i crashed it . i will not repair...better buy this one , impressive performances , $230 in the philippines
Man this drone is really impressive. I just hope when im able to afford it, it stays at the same price or lower. I hope they get a good black friday deal since its right around the corner. I definitely want this for when i go out on the boat.
Seems like a very responsive drone. The video is real smooth, stable and clear. No jello effect. I think the low cost drone companies will soon be surpassing or at least be equal to the the big high cost drones in the near future. Another good review. Thanks.
Victor Corvalan I just got mine a few days ago. It took a month to get it but so far I like it. Still need to do more testing but it’s looking good as you can see from the test flight video on my channel.
I'm actually kinda impressed,,, way to go JJRC, your company was almost down and out, and i have to say, that I'm blown away just how well made your recent brushless Quads have been made and handled,, and the Camera on this is Beautiful, Can anyone say ,DJI spark Air Killer!!#DJIAIRKILLED
Well, I got it last week, my first drone ever. Crashed it twice indoors and then once more outside at my small backyard. Took it on the next day to a open field, didn't even notice that 2 props were a little damaged and didn't probably waited enough for good satellite viewing ( and perhaps I made more mistakes) ,; and very windy that day. It took off and... flew away... I panicked and ... LOST it! I looked everywhere for ours and no success. The next day ( and the night before was rainy) , I went walking with my wife on another field, and suddenly, she FOUND IT ! It was upside down in the mud and it was rainy. Took it home, cleaned it, dried with a fan, specially the sensors, and and put it in a bowl with rice for 2 days (had to try something). In the meantime , watched more tutorials carefully trying to pay more attention to all details. On the next day ( less windy ), I replaced the damaged propellers, and went back to the same field. And then....... it flew beautifully and stable! It survived all that punishment with FLYING colors ! Not even a clumsy creature like me could destroy it...It survived me, the crashes, the mud , the rain.. Little beast ! 2 successful long flights so far ....Just ordered more props, just in case....
@@denishuber7758 I got it from Geekbuying , but you can get the Eachine EX4 ( same drone, other name),from Banggood a little cheaper. But I really suggest you to get the DJI Mavic mini instead . It's more expensive, but more reliable and you will get better service since you probably can but it locally. DJI is everywhere , so you don't have to rely on these obscured Chinese websites that I mentioned
@@denishuber7758 As I said, JJRC X12 at geekbuying.com or Eachine EX4 at banggood.com Same drones different names... Compare the prices, delivery, ect..
Sweet! Amazing little drone and it is perfect on video and great on extreme low follow me👍👋😀. Lol you're making it harder for me to pick a drone.So many choices and most I've seen are impressive. I just bought me the Vivitar Areo View drone.it's big and loud lol.gonna fly it soon. Thank you so much my friend and God bless you always. Have fun Captain Drone👍👋😀
Really like to see you give this more of a range test and maybe even fly it using the VR/fpv feature if you can grab a spotter friend to hang out with you for the video? Seems to be pretty dang good. Was hoping the new Visuo Zen would be this good also but this blows it away it seems. Anyway, thought I would throw that idea/challenge your way and see if we can get you to try something a little out of your comfort zone or push the envelope, may turn out to be very interesting. ☮️ Wheelchair John in Idaho 😎
I got 800metres with mine, no stutter or fallout with the fpv, had to stop because in UK we can only fly line of sight and at that range the drone is just a dot. CD also only flies LOS but in Canada I believe the legal LOS is only 500m
Omg..when i see these pictures at first i have to say again how much i'm missing Canada ... ❤ Second .. i think i've found a pinch-hitter for the Tello.. Third .. This bird actualy beats the X9 out of game.. What you think? Thx for the vid Cap!!
CAP', got a question for ya: I noticed that when the controller is on the image follow in Altitude mode is no longer active, it keeps telling me that I need to be in GPS mode to engage in TRACK. It seems that the "active track" feature is only available in Altitude mode when connected directly to the drone, the extra icon to follow the target is not showing up. So whenever the controller is activated it takes precedence and the Image follow is not available anymore. I'll have to give it a try at some point but wanted to check how was it when you tried the track image?
Hey good job, a beautiful demonstration and a great little drone. You are getting very good at this Capt Drone !! It has almost reached 250 grams, and in about a year they will get the weight down even more. Right now its out of site out of mind lol.. Happy Flying
If they could just add a software "cinema mode" like in some other drones, when it smooths (slows down) the gimbal and drone movement. For me that would be perfect
If you are big on the camera, then this one would be better than the F11. Pretty much all GPS drones are good for beginners. This one is good, but since it has a budget 3 axis gimbal, it is fragile. So if you crash, that may be it. If you think you will crash, go for a drone like the F11 or BUGS 4W that can survive a crash.
Ok, so after watching a ton of videos on drones in this price range, this seems to be a good first drone. However, now I am coming up on realizing this same drone is available under at least 3 different names? CFly Faith, JJRC X12, and Eachine ex4. Is there any particular reason to choose one over another? Or is it really just the same manufacturer with different labels, pick the cheapest at that moment? If so, then I assume all spare parts would be interchangeable, like, batteries? So if I find a 1-battery model, and spare batteries after, the branding will or won't matter? 2 batteries would probably be enough to start, but the Gearbest version with 3 batteries won't ship to the US. Odd.
Interesting to know it comes under 3 different variants. I have ordered the white jjrc with 3 batteries from Geekbuying.com. Being delivered to the 🇬🇧 from Europe happy flying people. I'm a little nervous never flown a drone any tips?
@@mleitner0 I did too...decided over the weekend, found the cheapest of each version, and AliExpress had it with 3 batteries for $230 after discounts on Monday (11.11 sale). Now to wait eleventy billion years for it to arrive.
In North America, the C-Fly Faith Android app seems more stable, and will work with either the C-Fly Faith or the JJRC X12 (which are basically the same)
It's a great drone! Honestly, it ticks pretty much all the boxes of a good drone besides the video quality. You can't diss the way it flies and the way it moves. We're getting there Cap!
This seems to be the drone with all the features I'm looking for, but the price is a little high for me. I've flown drones a couple times, but this would be my first purchase. Would you recommend for novice pilots?
I've researched many drones even brought a cheap one off eBay which was crap for the money which I got refunded to my surprise .so I watched many drone vids on here and after nearly buying the DJI mini I watched a vid on the jjrc x12 and that was it ! Listen if you want a half decent drone for a couple of hundred pounds then get 1 you won't be disappointed trust me just ask Steve.
Yes,this is a good drone to buy,even if it is $250 dollars or more it’s a good drone,iv flown a phantom 4 pro,mavic mini,and all dis drones,even the inspire 2, and of corse parrot bebop 1 that is a ansane drone for $200 but I can’t fly it because my phone does not connect to it,even if I’m a 11 year old I’m still a great reviewer for drones,my choice is to get this drone,mavic mini,or the parrot bebop drone
This drone is about year old, but it has what I'm looking for, 4K, 5G, gimbal, sensors and my max price about $250. Is there anything newer with this requirements?
I must say you live in a nice area for videoing! I had the bugs4 which is a fantastic drone for the cost, but due to no Gimbal on the Bugs 4 it spoiled it! they could of have made it great with a gimbal on it! so now I have just ordered one of the JJRC x12's So thanks for the great review yet again Captain Drone.
Very thorough review, Cap'n, and what a nice drone with a ton of features for a reasonable price. I see only one real drawback, but it's a major one: the camera. With all they put into this and a 3 axis gimbal, why not at least a 2K camera? It'd be worth the small extra price, but for me, the stability and so on make this a drone for pictures and the 1080 is just too weak for anything serious. Colors and lack of distortion are just fine, but it just didn't seem sharp to me.
Camera will be more money. You see more then half of pricing of camera drones is the camera quality. The better the camera the more expensive. Parts like brushless motors, GPS., VPS and gimbals are cheap compared to higher end camers.
@@INTELMAXELL Agreed. If I were starting out, I'd pay another $50 or $75 for 2k in the X12 - but as someone else said, then you might as well get the ZINO for that money - and as I recall it's 4K. One thing's for sure, the prices for better performing drones is coming down and this X12 really does seem to perform very well.
Spare parts are definitely a concern. Even by Amazon, the propellers come from China and Hong Kong is kind of a mess right now. Almost a month to get the props in.
It's nice to see the drone performing well. I just got mine, and it's the exact opposite. Major toilet bowling. My first 2-battery session consisted of doing the calibrations, taking off, getting massive toilet bowling, bringing it back, redoing compass calibration, rechecking that I was in GPS mode, verifying plenty of satellites, taking off, major toilet bowling, bringing it back, redoing compass calibration.... ad nauseum. Repeated 7 times. Oh, and the drone wouldn't respond to gimbal control, and the video was jello-in-a-mild-earthquake. I watched IdahoQuadcopter's review and he had the same issues until finally it started to work better on his second day (after a few more failures including the toilet bowling and not taking gimbal commands). His comment section had numerous "Same here" complaints. I can only hope that this thing will start acting better sometime as Idaho's finally did, or I wasted my money.
The compass calibration on the newer models (which you have) is a disaster because the APP does not tell you the correct info during the compass calibration.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for taking the time to reply. When someone gets nearly 300,000 views for their video and still takes time to reply to a comment, that's pretty impressive
Build and flight performance appeared to be quite impressive for the price. However the video quality seemed to be lacking even with a 3axis gimbal. The playback appeared to be stuttering or dropping the odd frame and was a tad over sharpened. Obviously it has been built to a price but it might be worth waiting for the Hubsan Zino to be discounted, upon the release of the Pro version, as this has better video quality, albeit without the extra sensors. Regards Nidge.
I agree. From where I am the Zino is only ~50 USD more expensive than the X12, and the Zino obviously has got a much MUCH better camera. The x12 is the same price as the Fimi A3.
I don't know. This is more portable. It also has ultra sonic and optical flow sensors. The sd card is well protected too. Lastly the Hubsan Zino is more than $300 on this side of the world.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 My phone is bad , i dont have 802.11 ac Wifi , but my tablet has ! Its really big , so can i use my tablet as a controller ? And if yes , it will be laggy ? Sorry for my bad english , hope you understand !
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 but my tablet have 802.11ac Wifi , but its too big , i can t attach it to the controller ! So can i use my tablet as controller ? Is there an option like that ?
Lots of jittery movement at this end. Maybe some just don't notice it. Can tell it's the drone though as your gopro's video is silky smooth. Shame as i really fancied this one
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 There is no "jello" as you often call it. However, I do agree with the other comments. The video does appear to "skip" while recording in motion. Please provide more motion videos that shows this does not happen. I really like the features of this drone and how well it flies but "skipping" video capture would be a deal breaker. Otherwise I would buy it in an instant.
@@Dviewing No skipping or frame jumping at this end. Very smooth video. As seen in many comments it looks smooth to many viewers. The odd thing is that some viewers are seeing skipped frames. Must be a CZcams bandwidth or device viewing issue.
Thank you for your reply to my comment below (and all your videos). After watching all of your reviews of MANY drones, I just ordered the Eachine Ex4 with two batteries and case. I came very close to ordering the CSJ X70 (aka "the beast")/X80, but the EX 4 (JJRC X12), though a bit more money, seemed to be a notch better in several areas: While all the drones seemed to fly well, the EX4 seemed to have better video and photos than the others I'd been considering (except the Mavic Mini and other DJI products), plus a 3 axis gimbal. It had a SD slot missing in the CSJ/JJRC drones. The only think I seem to be giving up on the EX4 is the LCD display in the controller. Interestingly, the JJRC X12 Aurora would have been $50 more so based on your confirmation taht the EX4 is the same drone I went that way. While the Mavic Mini kept my attention, it seemed silly to spend $500 on a drone that I could crash in 5 minutes or upgrade to something great in 3 months when the Mini's great advantage seems to be mostly in the camera quality. I looked closely at all the drones in your reviews and the EX4 just seemed to be the right balance of quality features and price coming in just over $250 shipped. Thank you again.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 no. in the enjoy-fly app i have two options: HD and FHD. Both are recorded in 1920x1080p 10-15Mbit/s but the FHD is stuttering and the HD not. I 'll try tomorrow with a new SD class 10 card, which is neccesary for 4K - but my first Test does not record in 4K

PS: Well the drone got here, fast which was impressive, then again I paid for fast shipping. Now the bad parts:
1. The apps (neither Enjoy-FLY nor C-Fly) don't seem to work properly. At first the drone took a long time connecting to the controller but eventually the light on the back of the drone turned flashing green from flashing blue. At this point I was able to get the app to show the image when connected to the Drone-xxxx wifi while also the drone was connected to the controller. When I entered the app it kept telling me it's under the remote controller's control. I was also able to calibrate the compass and gyro. All seemed good to go. Now When closing the app it told me to unbind from the app. It seemed odd but I turned the drone back on, the controller and went into the app, where it said Unbind app I clicked the button. This is where my nightmare began. Now the drone keeps flashing blue and there's no Drone-xxxx wifi anymore!!!! Neither my tablet nor the remote controller can find the drone to connect to it.
Anyone else seen this odd behavior before? Any ideas how to "reset to factory defaults" the drone so the darn thing is ready to be found and paired with the controller again?
It goes without saying I've been scrubbing the internet high and low but there's not even a chinglish document or hint of how to fix this.

Now my daughter and I can make some great kayak fishing videos without the behind the head standard gopro vision! Thank you and keep up the excellent work!!
Glad I could help
Thank you!
I really like the way you film these reviews. You get to the drone flying and show it in action without wasting time. You do the unboxing at the end which is a more interesting way of presenting things. 🙏🏼
I appreciate that!
Yes been waiting for this one thank you so much for doing this review on the jjrc x12 aurora absolutely awesome 😁👍
Hey, I was waiting for that review, just I saw the cfly faith and that one is the same and more lower price. Thank you so much. Best drone channel
Long awaited originally came out as the c-fly Faith very tempted to buy Let see the world class reviewer captain drones take it away
Wow 😮 brilliant review I am amiss at how smart you are when it comes to drones you really Helped me choose my first drone
Great review and demo of its essential features, thank you very much! Ordered and waiting the Eachine X4 version, both coming from the original C-Fly Faith drone.
Great review, I have been looking for a solid camera drone without the Mavic price, sold me on this one I ordered and got the pre Black Friday discount. Subscribed and thumbs up
What an amazing starter 1080p drone! I went from a Parrot Bebop 2 (Which is a good 1080p starter) to a Mavic Air. I can tell you, if I had paid around $200 for the JJRC X12 I would be a happy man! What a great inexpensive introduction to drones!! Great video as always!!
Thanks for all of your great videos! Based on your excellent review I ordered the JJRC X12 a couple of days ago!
Great video. I just bought one because of your review. Thanks for getting us a coupon code, it worked like a charm!
Thank you for this review, it is the best demonstration I have found. I'm in Australia and first considered the Zino Pro because of all the issues and limitations with the original Zino, but they are about $200 more here than importing it. I don't trust any of the sellers feedback scores in online stores like Aliexpress and Banggood and they can't be air freighters anyway, so they would take weeks to arrive by ship, so I went with the X12. I'm glad I did because not only does it look better IMO, but it has more features, smaller and seems to have less issues plus it's a little cheaper ($399AUD 2x battery and bag). The Zino Pro here is about $600-700 with 2 batteries and no bag. Still awaiting it's arrival, can't wait!
I bought one after your review, thank you, I love it!
We to get this done
Got mine on it's way thanks to you and the reviews here. I have the 4k version coming. Cannot wait. Upgrading from a hubsan 507a and this will be so much better I'm sure. Mainly wanted for the gimble which I've never had and the tracking which looks awesome, aswell as flight time. I've had many other cheap drones until they stopped working for various reasons and my hubsan has been the only one with GPS so far and this with three ways of holding position will be a lot better. Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming.
Thanks cap. I chose jjrc x12 because of your review. Budget friendly and a good starter for me. Thank you very much
Hi CD
Checked your CZcams of a JJRC X12 Aroura. I purchased 1. Everything abouts it is great. I found it easy to operate. I bought an SD card and all's good!!. I also ordered 2x batteries. Now for good days and lots of ✈ fly time plus filming📷🎥. I will post a YU of drone in action soon.
Thanks again 😃👍👍👌
JJRC, My props to you.... get it.... you hit the nail right on the head with this one...
they sure as hell appear to have an for the price to! do you have it?
Thanks for the informative review, it's the best one I've seen of this drone. Keep up the good work :)
I like how you do your videos. Thank you so much. Truly helpful!
You sir just changed my mind from buying x11 into this one. Thanks captain!
Thanks for helping me choose our first drone.
I just bought this drone from Amazon with 3 batteries for $299 total price. I did not want to buy from anyone else, simply for the return policy Amazon has, just in case. I'm looking forward to receiving this recommended drone from Capt. Drone. Love his videos. They are easy to watch, calm, and to the point. His review of this JJRC X12 was my reason for picking this drone. Thanks from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
Nice Short Review Mr Captain Drone, Thanks a Lot Amigo...
That is a good price. Especially for someone's first drone. 3 axis gimble nice. Another good review by the captain.
Very nice drone footage and pics from this unit! Decent price. Another great review from the Captain!
Max 25fps and it shows, even the 4k version can only do 1080p25
SILKY Smooth footage Captn
This looks to be the one. I keep reviewing all your posts in this hunt. But this thing is slick and smoothe and appears to be what it needs to be !
Killer review.
Wulfy
This one looks awesome , Its going to be my next one. I can't believe a 3 axis GIMBLE !!!!! I'm ordering one before they go up in price ...Thanks Cap !!!!
Very very impressed with this drone, although it is a low cost model, it really puts out high quality performance, features, videos and pics. Overall a really good buy for a beginner or a pro. May add this to my collection 😊
Okay, finally THIS!!!!!!!!!!! We knew it would happen and it has a 3 Axis Gimbal with a good( not perfect) but really good 1080p camera. This is absolutely the one that breaks that barrier finally. We will be seeing more now, JJR. has thrown down the gauntlet on this one and said here it is come get me fellas. I’m really excited about this, may not have all the features of a DJI drone but for a first time hobbist this is a solid homerun of a drone. I don’t see how you could wrong with this. I’m really impressed and excited that someone has finally done it. Yes this Mav Mini is coming but for Starter in drones this could very well be the one to start with. Excellent Steve, great to see this bird.
@Brendan Koh Wow, usually before you blindly insult someone you try to find out something about them. I've been flying DJI for over 2 years and DJI only. You should go back to your Syma toys and let the grown men and women fly the real masters of the sky. Currently own a Mavic Air and Spark. Had a Phantom 3SE but after I purchased the Air I sold it a Farm owner who wanted to get some pictures of this farm and Video for family. With extras I have over 700.00 in the Spark and 1300.00 in my Air. Knowledge is power. You have none. An ignorant person is one who lacks knowledge, again you have none. Don't walk on thin ice, you may fall through.
Wow...looks like a good little package. Good price and features. Think I’m getting this. Yep. I’m getting it. Very stable video and flight. Good review!
I always enjoy watching your review Capt.. Thanks alot..
Based on your review.. I really like the videos & photos that made by this X12.. Once again.. Thanks.. 👍👍👍
Finnaly,foldable drone with brushless motors,good range,good battery life,3 axis gimball and resasoneble price...I know many people who want to spend max 200$ for begginer drone with this specificaton...Good job Captain Drone, obviously next season will be much interesting for drone enthusiast.
Just like that...exactly the same thing happened last year after SJRC F11 presentation...
Yeah, but the camera is sh*t
@@samuelmarques4574 Better cam, next year... Hahaa
Pretty nice drone that really seems to tick off all the boxes. The big guys better watch out, the quality and performance as well as the quality of the video for this money is hard to beat. Looks like I found my next drone. Thanks for the great video
Just bought the one with the 4k camera. Cant wait to see what i can capture! Thank you for this review!
Haleigh McCormick Can you provide a link to where you bought yours?
@@yefersonmemo9981 If you look in the description, he has several links to the 2 different types of that drone
Impressive quad indeed !!! 'S gonna be a success ! Thank you for the review. Cold already there !!!
Very impressed with this drone, seems to do almost everything at a great price.
at last a drone that everything works, good vid/pics from it ,il have to get it
this is what i thought, everything seems to be finished/polished and works - i was watching reviews on the xaomi fimi x8 and the tracking etc seems to be SO poor on it almost like its not finished (an that was 12 months on from release after updates)
What a star you are. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. It's been a while, but I have in mind what you said about shipping from china and that was a great help.Thank you, once again.
Thank you for the love heart, my EX4 as arrived. Had a little go, but we still have the gales you sent us, here in the UK. I'm hoping you can fathom out the MV button.
Looks like a great drone. A Spark/Mavic hybrid. Great review of what looks like a great package.
nice video, thank you , 2 years ago , i spent 3 times the price to build my own with about the same capabilities , last week i crashed it . i will not repair...better buy this one , impressive performances , $230 in the philippines
Man this drone is really impressive. I just hope when im able to afford it, it stays at the same price or lower. I hope they get a good black friday deal since its right around the corner. I definitely want this for when i go out on the boat.
Same i want to fly it over water to
Hope u get it one day
Good review 👍😊
Thank your, Captain!
Seems like a very responsive drone. The video is real smooth, stable and clear. No jello effect. I think the low cost drone companies will soon be surpassing or at least be equal to the the big high cost drones in the near future. Another good review. Thanks.
THANK YOU CAPTAIN DRONE. I JUST ORDER MY JJRC X12 DRONE HERE EN CALIFORNIA USA. THANK YOU AGAIN.
Victor Corvalan I just got mine a few days ago. It took a month to get it but so far I like it. Still need to do more testing but it’s looking good as you can see from the test flight video on my channel.
I'm actually kinda impressed,,, way to go JJRC, your company was almost down and out, and i have to say, that I'm blown away just how well made your recent brushless Quads have been made and handled,, and the Camera on this is Beautiful, Can anyone say ,DJI spark Air Killer!!#DJIAIRKILLED
yeah the camera is impressive. and it has ZOOM!
Thank you Captain drone, I've decided to get this model after gone through most of your low cost drone review.
Sad to say can't find it in Australia JJRC X12 too many DJI product
thank you for this review, liked and subbed :) ordered mine cant wait to record my trips with it :)
Well, I got it last week, my first drone ever.
Crashed it twice indoors and then once more outside at my small backyard.
Took it on the next day to a open field, didn't even notice that 2 props were a little damaged and didn't probably waited enough for good satellite viewing ( and perhaps I made more mistakes) ,; and very windy that day. It took off and... flew away... I panicked and ... LOST it! I looked everywhere for ours and no success.
The next day ( and the night before was rainy) , I went walking with my wife on another field, and suddenly, she FOUND IT ! It was upside down in the mud and it was rainy. Took it home, cleaned it, dried with a fan, specially the sensors, and and put it in a bowl with rice for 2 days (had to try something). In the meantime , watched more tutorials carefully trying to pay more attention to all details.
On the next day ( less windy ), I replaced the damaged propellers, and went back to the same field.
And then....... it flew beautifully and stable! It survived all that punishment with FLYING colors ! Not even a clumsy creature like me could destroy it...It survived me, the crashes, the mud , the rain..
Little beast !
2 successful long flights so far ....Just ordered more props, just in case....
where did you get it from and how much ?? im lookig also to buy one
@@denishuber7758 I got it from Geekbuying , but you can get the Eachine EX4 ( same drone, other name),from Banggood a little cheaper.
But I really suggest you to get the DJI Mavic mini instead . It's more expensive, but more reliable and you will get better service since you probably can but it locally. DJI is everywhere , so you don't have to rely on these obscured Chinese websites that I mentioned
@@beto1961 thx but I'm not interested in dji stuff...just want an awerage drone that can make nice photos...and the x12 aurora seems just fine
@@denishuber7758 As I said, JJRC X12 at geekbuying.com or Eachine EX4 at banggood.com
Same drones different names... Compare the prices, delivery, ect..
Same thing happened to me a time or two, but with different endings. How did the rice turn out? hahaha
The Canadian Autumn, appear so quickly.
Excellent review Captain Drone!! I like this drone
This is a great job of your making a review, the drone is exellent and i would have it, it really is worthy!
Sweet! Amazing little drone and it is perfect on video and great on extreme low follow me👍👋😀.
Lol you're making it harder for me to pick a drone.So many choices and most I've seen are impressive.
I just bought me the Vivitar Areo View drone.it's big and loud lol.gonna fly it soon.
Thank you so much my friend and God bless you always. Have fun Captain Drone👍👋😀
4K 3 Axis Anti-shake Auto Stabilizing Gimble Camera Foldable Drone,a liitle light but super cool.nice to have one
Nice drone view.
Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks Captain for a well detailed review🇿🇦
Really like to see you give this more of a range test and maybe even fly it using the VR/fpv feature if you can grab a spotter friend to hang out with you for the video? Seems to be pretty dang good. Was hoping the new Visuo Zen would be this good also but this blows it away it seems. Anyway, thought I would throw that idea/challenge your way and see if we can get you to try something a little out of your comfort zone or push the envelope, may turn out to be very interesting. ☮️ Wheelchair John in Idaho 😎
I got 800metres with mine, no stutter or fallout with the fpv, had to stop because in UK we can only fly line of sight and at that range the drone is just a dot. CD also only flies LOS but in Canada I believe the legal LOS is only 500m
So, these affordable drones are starting to become very complete, but the bad camera is holding them back
Look back one year or two years ago and you would freak at what your money bought for the same price... you'd be lucky to get 720p and GPS.
I have just discovered your channel capt, love it. Thanks for all the content
Welcome to the channel!
Really nice drone for the money Fly very well and the video looks great
. Keep up the good work Steve. atb Karl from Essex UK
Omg..when i see these pictures at first i have to say again how much i'm missing Canada ... ❤
Second .. i think i've found a pinch-hitter for the Tello..
Third .. This bird actualy beats the X9 out of game.. What you think?
Thx for the vid Cap!!
CAP', got a question for ya:
I noticed that when the controller is on the image follow in Altitude mode is no longer active, it keeps telling me that I need to be in GPS mode to engage in TRACK. It seems that the "active track" feature is only available in Altitude mode when connected directly to the drone, the extra icon to follow the target is not showing up. So whenever the controller is activated it takes precedence and the Image follow is not available anymore. I'll have to give it a try at some point but wanted to check how was it when you tried the track image?
Yup, some of these drones require the GPS off to track visually.
Hey good job, a beautiful demonstration and a great little drone. You are getting very good at this Capt Drone !! It has almost reached 250 grams, and in about a year they will get the weight down even more. Right now its out of site out of mind lol.. Happy Flying
wow..awesome!!!..i think i need this..this is enough..would be satisfying for me..thanks 4 the review sir...👍
Not the greatest camera, but for the price and the gimbal its pretty good. Nice review!
If they could just add a software "cinema mode" like in some other drones, when it smooths (slows down) the gimbal and drone movement. For me that would be perfect
That is so beautiful drone of the jjrc x12 Aurora 🤗
Thanks for the review. It's very useful.
Can you recommend a good forum for X12 discussion?
Hey Captain would you recommend this as an all-round good beginner drone or is there a better drone for the price like the f11? Thanks.
If you are big on the camera, then this one would be better than the F11. Pretty much all GPS drones are good for beginners. This one is good, but since it has a budget 3 axis gimbal, it is fragile. So if you crash, that may be it. If you think you will crash, go for a drone like the F11 or BUGS 4W that can survive a crash.
CAPTAIN DRONE thank you!
Great review Captain Drone. You are definitely very good at this...
That's quite impressive , Nice video quality to ... Ideal for a weekend away drone .
Would you rather have this or a dji spark? Honestly this drone seems amazing
Spark
Ok, so after watching a ton of videos on drones in this price range, this seems to be a good first drone.
However, now I am coming up on realizing this same drone is available under at least 3 different names?
CFly Faith, JJRC X12, and Eachine ex4.
Is there any particular reason to choose one over another? Or is it really just the same manufacturer with different labels, pick the cheapest at that moment?
If so, then I assume all spare parts would be interchangeable, like, batteries? So if I find a 1-battery model, and spare batteries after, the branding will or won't matter? 2 batteries would probably be enough to start, but the Gearbest version with 3 batteries won't ship to the US. Odd.
Just orded the EX4 3 battery on aliexpress.
Interesting to know it comes under 3 different variants. I have ordered the white jjrc with 3 batteries from Geekbuying.com. Being delivered to the 🇬🇧 from Europe happy flying people.
I'm a little nervous never flown a drone any tips?
@@mleitner0 I did too...decided over the weekend, found the cheapest of each version, and AliExpress had it with 3 batteries for $230 after discounts on Monday (11.11 sale). Now to wait eleventy billion years for it to arrive.
In North America, the C-Fly Faith Android app seems more stable, and will work with either the C-Fly Faith or the JJRC X12 (which are basically the same)
They need a 5G phone. I'm out!
It's a great drone! Honestly, it ticks pretty much all the boxes of a good drone besides the video quality. You can't diss the way it flies and the way it moves. We're getting there Cap!
I watch it again, thanks 4 your recomendetion capt. 👍👍, This is the first, next . . .
This seems to be the drone with all the features I'm looking for, but the price is a little high for me. I've flown drones a couple times, but this would be my first purchase. Would you recommend for novice pilots?
Its a great little drone, just got the c-fly faith version, excellent beginner drone
I've researched many drones even brought a cheap one off eBay which was crap for the money which I got refunded to my surprise .so I watched many drone vids on here and after nearly buying the DJI mini I watched a vid on the jjrc x12 and that was it !
Listen if you want a half decent drone for a couple of hundred pounds then get 1 you won't be disappointed trust me just ask Steve.
Yes,this is a good drone to buy,even if it is $250 dollars or more it’s a good drone,iv flown a phantom 4 pro,mavic mini,and all dis drones,even the inspire 2, and of corse parrot bebop 1 that is a ansane drone for $200 but I can’t fly it because my phone does not connect to it,even if I’m a 11 year old I’m still a great reviewer for drones,my choice is to get this drone,mavic mini,or the parrot bebop drone
This drone is about year old, but it has what I'm looking for, 4K, 5G, gimbal, sensors and my max price about $250. Is there anything newer with this requirements?
It doesn't have 4k Video though!
Only 4K Photos.
4k is plain marketing in the drone
This is just a awesome😍😍 I wish I could buy it, really a awesome drone footage lots of love from India 💖💖💖 big fan from India
I must say you live in a nice area for videoing! I had the bugs4 which is a fantastic drone for the cost, but due to no Gimbal on the Bugs 4 it spoiled it! they could of have made it great with a gimbal on it! so now I have just ordered one of the JJRC x12's So thanks for the great review yet again Captain Drone.
Very thorough review, Cap'n, and what a nice drone with a ton of features for a reasonable price. I see only one real drawback, but it's a major one: the camera. With all they put into this and a 3 axis gimbal, why not at least a 2K camera? It'd be worth the small extra price, but for me, the stability and so on make this a drone for pictures and the 1080 is just too weak for anything serious. Colors and lack of distortion are just fine, but it just didn't seem sharp to me.
Camera will be more money. You see more then half of pricing of camera drones is the camera quality. The better the camera the more expensive. Parts like brushless motors, GPS., VPS and gimbals are cheap compared to higher end camers.
@@INTELMAXELL Agreed. If I were starting out, I'd pay another $50 or $75 for 2k in the X12 - but as someone else said, then you might as well get the ZINO for that money - and as I recall it's 4K. One thing's for sure, the prices for better performing drones is coming down and this X12 really does seem to perform very well.
The 4k version is still stuck on 25fps in 1080p resolution, even the DJI mini can do 1080p at 60fps and that eliminates that terrible camera shudder.
This is good enough for me. I am just worried about the spare parts and accessories not yet available in Shopee, maybe wait for few months
Spare parts are definitely a concern. Even by Amazon, the propellers come from China and Hong Kong is kind of a mess right now. Almost a month to get the props in.
Nice review as always
It's nice to see the drone performing well. I just got mine, and it's the exact opposite. Major toilet bowling. My first 2-battery session consisted of doing the calibrations, taking off, getting massive toilet bowling, bringing it back, redoing compass calibration, rechecking that I was in GPS mode, verifying plenty of satellites, taking off, major toilet bowling, bringing it back, redoing compass calibration.... ad nauseum. Repeated 7 times. Oh, and the drone wouldn't respond to gimbal control, and the video was jello-in-a-mild-earthquake. I watched IdahoQuadcopter's review and he had the same issues until finally it started to work better on his second day (after a few more failures including the toilet bowling and not taking gimbal commands). His comment section had numerous "Same here" complaints. I can only hope that this thing will start acting better sometime as Idaho's finally did, or I wasted my money.
The compass calibration on the newer models (which you have) is a disaster because the APP does not tell you the correct info during the compass calibration.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for taking the time to reply. When someone gets nearly 300,000 views for their video and still takes time to reply to a comment, that's pretty impressive
Build and flight performance appeared to be quite impressive for the price. However the video quality seemed to be lacking even with a 3axis gimbal. The playback appeared to be stuttering or dropping the odd frame and was a tad over sharpened. Obviously it has been built to a price but it might be worth waiting for the Hubsan Zino to be discounted, upon the release of the Pro version, as this has better video quality, albeit without the extra sensors.
Regards
Nidge.
I agree. From where I am the Zino is only ~50 USD more expensive than the X12, and the Zino obviously has got a much MUCH better camera. The x12 is the same price as the Fimi A3.
This will be my first drone.
It's $220 in the Philippines including shipping.
Buy Hubsan Zino for almost the same price (230€ on Aliexpress), you'll have 4K instead 1080P, this drone is overpriced...
I don't know. This is more portable. It also has ultra sonic and optical flow sensors. The sd card is well protected too. Lastly the Hubsan Zino is more than $300 on this side of the world.
Wait for the 4k..I believe c-fly released one that has 4k
Thanks @@montybautista3273 C-fly faith 4k @S240 now available in the Ph too. 4k camera for additional $20. It'll be the best $20 spent imho.
Impressive drone! thanks captain
Wow! Captain very nice drone for a acceptable price and really good features.
Would you say that it's better than the Hubsan Zino or the Fimi A3. Could you do a comparison, please. Great vid.
Zino has a better camera. Have not yet tried the A3.
We are dealing with a sub tropical storm ⛈ here in New England. And it looks to be heading your way. Misery loves company....

so sool captain drone really deserves alot of subscribers best drone reviewss
Captain, do you plan to test the new zino pro, especially against the Fimi X8se
Zino Pro yes. Fimi 8se... not at this time.
Hey Captain, I see that the video is a bit jittery when moving. Is that something of concern or will be fixed?
No concern cause there are no jitters. Must be an edit or CZcams thing.
Lots of jittery movement at this end. Maybe some just don't notice it. Can tell it's the drone though as your gopro's video is silky smooth. Shame as i really fancied this one
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 There is no "jello" as you often call it. However, I do agree with the other comments. The video does appear to "skip" while recording in motion. Please provide more motion videos that shows this does not happen. I really like the features of this drone and how well it flies but "skipping" video capture would be a deal breaker. Otherwise I would buy it in an instant.
@@Dviewing No skipping or frame jumping at this end. Very smooth video. As seen in many comments it looks smooth to many viewers. The odd thing is that some viewers are seeing skipped frames. Must be a CZcams bandwidth or device viewing issue.
There's some stuttering in the video at 3:53 as you turning the drone. Watch the white signboard.
Definitely buying one very soon. Ty cap
Thank you for your reply to my comment below (and all your videos). After watching all of your reviews of MANY drones, I just ordered the Eachine Ex4 with two batteries and case. I came very close to ordering the CSJ X70 (aka "the beast")/X80, but the EX 4 (JJRC X12), though a bit more money, seemed to be a notch better in several areas: While all the drones seemed to fly well, the EX4 seemed to have better video and photos than the others I'd been considering (except the Mavic Mini and other DJI products), plus a 3 axis gimbal. It had a SD slot missing in the CSJ/JJRC drones. The only think I seem to be giving up on the EX4 is the LCD display in the controller. Interestingly, the JJRC X12 Aurora would have been $50 more so based on your confirmation taht the EX4 is the same drone I went that way. While the Mavic Mini kept my attention, it seemed silly to spend $500 on a drone that I could crash in 5 minutes or upgrade to something great in 3 months when the Mini's great advantage seems to be mostly in the camera quality. I looked closely at all the drones in your reviews and the EX4 just seemed to be the right balance of quality features and price coming in just over $250 shipped. Thank you again.
I was just going to ask about that drone
Can You tell me what is the difference between HD and FHD settings? Both are 1920x1080 and 10Mbit/s ?!?
FHD is 1080p and HD is 720p
CAPTAIN DRONE mine are both 1920x1080 🤷♂️
are yours different?
Technickr I thought you were asking in general about filming. Are you talking about the display options on your phone in the app screen?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 no. in the enjoy-fly app i have two options: HD and FHD. Both are recorded in 1920x1080p 10-15Mbit/s but the FHD is stuttering and the HD not. I 'll try tomorrow with a new SD class 10 card, which is neccesary for 4K - but my first Test does not record in 4K
Nice place and explanation...a big hug from Brasil
