JJRC H12CH Altitude Hold 1080p Camera Drone Flight Test Review

This update to the previously released JJRC H12C includes altitude hold and a 1080p camera. Find it here
Pros
- Did not see any dropout issues of the original H12C
- 1080p HD camera
- Altitude hold makes flying very easy and very smooth
- External charging port
- If flown out of range, immediately starts a slow descent while searching for transmitter signal. If signal is regained, quadcopter will automatically rebind to transmitter.
- Does not require FAA registration.
Cons
- Range much shorter than advertised 300 meters. I only got out to about 80 to 100 meters.
- The video appears to be interpolated to 1080p.
