EC20: Design

Design wise, one of the biggest advantages is the fact that the EC20 is a foldable drone, which makes it highly portable. The size reduces so much that you can even put it in the pocket of your coat if you are not going too far. With a take off weight of 265 grams, you might need to register this drone before you fly it, but make sure that you get well informed about your local regulations.

The EC20 comes with brushless motors, which means that it is able to have a longer, quieter and even more stable flight. Brushless motors come with many benefits, but maybe the biggest one is that they consume less power than brushed motors. Also, the minimal noise helps to not scare any people or animals that might be around.

The body of the drone is made out of high quality plastic material. For better spotting in low light conditions, there are green LED lights that help especially when you are flying the quadcopter 1000 meters away.

EC20: Camera

This quadcopter comes with a 4K camera that is able to capture 4K photos and videos at 25 FPS. The quality of the shots is quite good, especially if there is no wind and good light. It also has a field of view at 120 degrees and the ability to adjust its vertical angle from the remote controller to find the best view possible. FPV simply had to be included, so the distance is up to 800 meters, which is quite decent. To make this possible, the aircraft operates on a 5.8GHz frequency, which is best suited for long-range transmission.

EC20: Batteries and flight time

The EC20 comes with two batteries, 2200mAh each. Together, they will give you up to 46 minutes of flight time, which we consider is even more than enough! But on the other side, if you want more than that, you have the option to order a third battery. The charging time is between 100 and 150 minutes, and something special about these batteries is that they are smart ones. This means you can tell how much voltage remains when the drone is in flight. This helps with landing your EC20 before the batteries fully drain out. They are protected against overcharge, but you should always make sure that you use the designated cable to charge them.

Remote controller

One of the first things you might notice on this remote controller is the fact that it has a foldable smartphone holder, which can fit many devices. Overall, this is a well built remote and therefore it can feel kind of bulky and thick, especially for a child or someone with small hands. Other than this, it is easy to use thanks to its simple user interface and the long and responsive joysticks. Also, a great bonus is the fact that even though it has a simple interface, you have keys available for all of the different functions.

Flight functions

With a high number of flight functions, the EC20 is a great beginner drone and it can be a fun beginning in the world of quadcopters. Here are the functions included:

GPS Auto Return

Optical Flow

Follow Me Mode

Circle Mode

Waypoint Flight

Altitude Hold
