8807 Foldable UAV

The 8807 foldable UAV is a Chinese entry-level drone, packed with features, at a very affordable price (~ USD 40) and just ripe for modifications. Compared to competitors that usually advertise a 7 minute flight time, the 8807 UAV boasts a 10 minute flight time right out of the box.

Overall, the 8807 flies wonderfully provided low wind speeds and is a great entry level drone. It packs a bunch of features, including altitude hold (latitude hold?!), headless mode and is very responsive to commands.

Transmitter

Battery

The specifications of the provided battery are:

  • Type: LiPo
  • Capacity: 900mA
  • Current: 3.7V
  • Measured dimensions: 62mm x 24mm x 8mm (length x width x depth)

and powering the 8807 foldable UAV, the battery indeed does deliver approximatively 10 minutes of flight time.

Engines / Motors

  • Width: 8.5mm
  • Height: 26mm (with spindle and gear) / 20mm (without spindle and gear)

Chassis

  • Main chassis screw dimensions: 1mm x 6mm (width x height)

Design Flaws

  • Perhaps the most annoying design flaw is the landing gear that is made out of four foldable struts: they are made out of brittle plastic, they are easy to break, easy to distort. . .
  • Never underestimate the influence of wind! Just a gust of wind can make for a very nasty experience, especially for beginners that cannot adapt quickly enough.
  • The 8807 has a camera without a gimbal device - flying around will make the recorded video bounce a lot.
