Watched your video, and being a beginner, without a bnf controller, I decided to purchase one.Arrived in 8 days, through Bangood, and was totally damage free. Purchased it with a extra battery, as well.From unboxing and charging a battery, to flying it was less than 30 minutes, the batteries were half charged upon arrival. It looks and performs exactly as it did in the video, and I am 100 percent extremely happy with it.The flight time is amazing, and switching batteries takes about 15 seconds. It's so much easier to fly than I imagined, and would recommend it to anyone else who has never flown a helicopter before. No trim adjustments were needed, and I was able to fly it on speed 3 after a few minutes without any difficulty. Thanks for the great video and review,as I wouldn't have known what helicopter to buy for my first time as a beginner.
this helicopter is much more robust than I expected. I'm new to this hobby, and this is my first rc heli experience. So I crashed this more than a dozen times now from heights of 6 feet or more. yet this thing still works. worth the money, I have to say.
Just received my Eachine E120 RTF, read the directions,charged the batteries,installed the batteries in the transmitter,bound and lift off in my living room "Which is quite large",hoovered perfect no trim needed,only complaint is the slow stick input,you have to move the sticks quite a ways before the E120 reacts.Over all it's ok 👍👍👍
Corp Pilot friend has a DJI and i sent him this link to check out the helicopter as it looked pretty cool. 3 weeks later i find one by my ft door. he bought me one. now i'm looking at a transmitter i can use with a RC sim and build flying skills.
I've flown RC heli's for quite a few years now. And while this has great "accident prevention" features for beginners. Such as the auto up, down, and hold features. You STILL have too know how to fly 4 channel heli's. Know what "rates" mean, and be able to adjust your gyros for a level smooth flight. Therefore, for beginners i recommend a 3.5 channel heli with a flybar on top of the propeller blade. This bar adds extra stabilization and will prevent accidents. Also, if your heli does fall it won't break because they make the exterior plastic shell far more durable knowing beginner pilots will crash. So this isn't a beginner heli unless you've already mastered a coaxial 3-3.5 channel helicopter.
Literally bought this less than a week ago. The optical flow seems pretty useless though. Have crashed into walls several times and it still works great
Of course it is. These Chinese companies lie. True stabilized or optical fliw camera alone cheap as possible is no less than $160 at its absolute cheapest. The cams are mostly useless on these and just drive the price up or justifys increased price IMO. ID RATHER BUY WITHOUT FOR $40
Now I definitely know what some family members are getting for Christmas. It looks and fly’s great with 15 minutes run time. A lot of fun for under $100 dollars. Another great review. Thanks Captain
Ok, you convinced me. One on order. Probably no need for another probably positive review as many have already done so. However, if it goes down in flames after I get it, I might add a comment!
So was that flight in front yard when you hit jeep in speed 3 mode...very impressive little bird...amazing how technology for buget copters is now...btw..what do you think top speed is without any wind? 15 mph or faster or slower? Thanks for sharing
I have the same one but I not have the optical flow sensor:-?? Just a hole underneath the fuselage I think it has a barometer??what does that do love the heily very cool
I buy everything you review. U are a great person and one of the best reviewers next to Dustin dunnel. U both thrive in the different ways u review. Great job 👍. I'm looking forward to more... ordered that baby tonight.
Well, an update on my Copter Captain!; received it 5 days ago and it was (note..........was!!!) a great little machine!; flew pretty well and predictable indoors however found the 2nd speed actually made it more stable!; was just waiting for no wind outside which finally happened yesterday! and.......all was going well however with the Copter approx 20mtrs high and 30 mtrs away..........it.........flew back to China !!!; yes took off and regardless of the inputs it was basically out of / in its own control!; upside is I reckon I could see it well past 100mtrs distance (more like 200!!!!) happily heading home! win some, loose some as they say !!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hey Captain Drone. I've watched a few of your video. I think you are ready for a 450 size ship. You're learning process will make great content. Maybe encourage others to do the same. Keep on.
Thank you Steve for your content, this review, and your discount code that I used when I clicked on your link to order this helicopter after watching your video. Cheers!
The first thing I had was a helicopter, but I did the battery in, and I tried to recover it but couldn't , but it was really hard to fly, the new drone ones look a doddle .I might buy a helicopter, that sea king air sea rescue helicopter looks good .
This definitely looks fun Steve. Your home studio must look like the bat cave with all these fun little devices you've gotten over the years.lol Keep up the good work. Now I have to go check out the price on this little guy.
Hi Steve! You’re 100% correct, this thing looks great for its price point. So yeah, I did what any red blooded American 🇺🇸 would do, I once again listened to my Canadian 🇨🇦 mentor and ordered it, along with the A170 Boeing 787 you reviewed! Like I need more things to fly! Haha 😂 And as always, great video review, Steve, as they just get better and better! 👍👍❤️🇨🇦❤️
Very cool awesome video I have this little heli on order should be getting it any day now I ordered it from Banggood. So it’s taking awhile can’t wait to get it I got it with 3 batts. 👍👍👍👍👍
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes I agree I have ordered a ton of stuff from Banggood the shipping is much faster now for some reason my helicopter got held up in China customs. Thanks for replying
Very nice review! Thank you very much! I do want to buy one myself and start flying. Actually I noted you put a discount voucher for BG but it didn't work, expired. Is there any updated code for this lovely heli please? Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers!
You do an amazing job with video production and it seems like you're a one-man team doing everything! That's ridiculous for that level of production! Also you're very likeable and compelling because it's clear that you just love RC and you're having fun. Great stuff!
Trim works like this. If the helicopter drifts to the left while hovering indoors, you just add a few clicks of trim to the right and the helicopter remains entered from then on every time you use it. Only use trim indoors.
Woooo Whooo!; well done Captain! (and good to see Mr Owly keeping a close eye on proceedings!!!) have ordered one tonight as this looks like a great entry level to the Copter world!; many thanks for taking the time to review these lower cost, non "Drone" versions.....🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I figured out how to do it after rewatching this video. You mentioned pushing left stick down and left and right stick down and right. Voila ! Thank you
Cool little copter Steve. Great review. This one is very affordable. That said, I tend to get bored with the easy flying, no frills machines. At least with the cheap FPV drones you have the FPV to entertain and the reasonable amount of distance to fly. But, as a beginner helicopter pilot, this is fantastic for all. Everyone is a pro with this one! Thanks for the review!
Do you know what radio protocol this might use, or if you could add your own RX? Seems like a great little helicopter, but I would love to use with a TX I already have, instead of collecting yet another RTF TX.
I'm looking for a good fpv tiny whoop that will grow with me. I want a remote, Google's and whoop that wont be obsolete in 2 weeks lol I watched alot of your videos but I still cant decide. Any recommendations? Viewer recommendations welcome! Thanks in advance!
Great review, I finally got my stickers from you. Our Postal Service is rather slow, we get our post after 3 months. The handwriting on the envelope was really neat! Thanks so much for the stickers (Didnt think South Africa would qualify for anything....lol)
Thanks Steve for the review of the E-120. I just received mine and its very detailed and easy to fly. The only problem is getting the battery out of the helicopter seems way too tight and i do not want to damage the copter. Any thoughts? I also ordered an E-180 RTR kit.
It should go in and out with a bit of effort. If you find it too tight, you may have to put some lubricant on it (silicone, etc). Perhaps your battery is swollen?
Maybe your finger nails are cut too short, as I didn't seem to have any problems. I would rather have a battery fit snugly, than not.Less chance of having it pop out upon landing or flying.
Any chance that this E120 can be flown upside down? or It is just a starter heli for practicing the basic flight maneuvers i guess. I am beginner only and would love to buy this one.

I just got one. I previously stayed away from heli’s because they were so hard to fly. This one is a breeze to fly and loads of fun.
like to see the TX when you fly to see your stick movements.
Thnx to the Heli, we have a great tour of your home,
Indeed it is very nice and good home to live & of course play with the toys...:D
Thanks Steve. Looks like a nice day there in Canada. Enjoy!
Cool little heli! One thing I found to help is instead of making the blades an x before flight is to make them a + 😉 Really love how scale it looks.
what i do like of you when you unbox and review is thar you are so joyful😊scrutinize every bit of its specs👍i love it👍
Thank you

Cool! Can’t lose with that little bad boy can you.. fantastic.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE VIDEO MY FRIEND WAS AWESOME👍, FANTASTIC,✌ THANKS FOR SHARING😊, SUPER LIKE AND A BIG HUG💖
Excellent Tutorial Video, and Excellent Flying! A Really Nice RC Helicopter. Thank You For Sharing It With Us. Grandma Is Having A Blast Flying It.
It's always a good day when Grandma buzzed you with her helicopter.
Literally bought this less than a week ago. The optical flow seems pretty useless though. Have crashed into walls several times and it still works great
Optical flow requires bright light indoors and a pattern on the floor.
Of course it is. These Chinese companies lie. True stabilized or optical fliw camera alone cheap as possible is no less than $160 at its absolute cheapest. The cams are mostly useless on these and just drive the price up or justifys increased price IMO. ID RATHER BUY WITHOUT FOR $40
@@jesspatel1828 same 👍
wow i must say this one does look cute, shame no camera, i really like fpv these days. I love the videos when you include your friends testing it
Good morning captain really nice review cool helicopter enjoy the weekend
4:16 you are really good at that🤔
Hillarious! I'm gessing you are a pro hence the comment.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 SUBBED , your response was epic😎
Just got mine yesterday and it’s a breeze to fly and so much fun!
wow that's a nice helicopter, might buy one
Hi Steve....Not a bad price on that helicopter. Sure is quiet.........👍
Yes very quiet and very popular with people who see and fly it for the first time.
Now I definitely know what some family members are getting for Christmas. It looks and fly’s great with 15 minutes run time. A lot of fun for under $100 dollars. Another great review.

Thanks & you are correct that it would make a great gift since you can fly it indoors as well.
Ok, you convinced me. One on order. Probably no need for another probably positive review as many have already done so. However, if it goes down in flames after I get it, I might add a comment!
Now do RC toys like these fall under drone licensing requirements?
If not what about the more expensive/advanced copters
You can use its extra weight carry, for longer battery run time.. Add a pin cam instead of his 360°>>>
Thank you for the video. it was interesting. I'll probably buy one for my collection 👍
Nice,are you going to fly on the channel that Air Plane I believe in the back of the jeep
Yes, eventually
I love this helicopter Cap. Keep them coming.
We want a family video now
3rd
Hands down to Eachine for making most detailed but cheaper rc
A built in fpv camera would really be cool
Great video
What is the best to fly thing for kid of 7 years old ? ! ?
This item of course.
Cool little heli! Nice discount with your code! Thanks!!
So was that flight in front yard when you hit jeep in speed 3 mode...very impressive little bird...amazing how technology for buget copters is now...btw..what do you think top speed is without any wind? 15 mph or faster or slower? Thanks for sharing
Hello, I do not know what the top speed is.
Who is the highest ranking officer here? That's you Cap! Great video!.
Thank you
Steve I absolutely love your videos. They are so enjoyable and informative to watch. 👍
Thank you greatly!
I have the same one but I not have the optical flow sensor:-?? Just a hole underneath the fuselage I think it has a barometer??what does that do love the heily very cool
We would like to see a tour of your entire fleet. I guess now you have enough collection to open a contemporary rc museum
Oh, I don't have the space to keep all the items I show on my channel. They usually all go to my RC friends and get a good home.

Wow, thank you!
Very nice looking small heli! Very beautiful details! Nice video and its good to see that you had so much fun with it!
Glad you enjoyed it
Man that thing looks sick. Now Captain can you find TC’s helicopter from Magnum P.I.?
i have a simple question for you Captain, is this one better or worse then the eachine E110?
E110 is more of a fun toy heli and this one is a bit less toy, but still just a "fun" heli.
Did you use the Take off button for indoor Flight

Great! I'm certain you will enjoy it.
Nice little toy if you are bored, camera looks cool. Stay safe Steve, how is your finger, did it thaw out?
Finger is all good, thanks.
Hey Captain Drone. I've watched a few of your video. I think you are ready for a 450 size ship.
You're learning process will make great content. Maybe encourage others to do the same.
Keep on.
Maybe someone could make a proper flying saucer drone. based on the Bob Lazar. S4 Groom lake sport model, that would be cool.
That is a very nice detailed helicopter, nice video Cap.
Thank you Steve for your content, this review, and your discount code that I used when I clicked on your link to order this helicopter after watching your video. Cheers!
Good to hear, thanks!
would love to get my kid one of these, but money's tight. He wants to get into rc heli's.
After I Saw You Review, I order One right away, thanks
Can we know what kind of camera did your use
The link to the camera has been placed below this video
Omg this company is amazing..
Another good review Steve. Neat RC Helicopter.
Nice capt...👍
It's a machine. So what to get excited about?
Wow great hellicopter I will be buying one 👌 also great review
Thank you!
Well, I'm convinced.. thanks 😁

Terrific review as always Cap'n - I think I need this little helicopter in my life :-).
On Aliexpress, I often see this little helicopter with the Eachine E110, which looks like the Black Hornet
Will you test the E110 ?
I've already reviewed the E110: ruclips.net/video/y7_9q0IWZvk/видео.html
Very cool awesome video I have this little heli on order should be getting it any day now I ordered it from Banggood. So it’s taking awhile can’t wait to get it I got it with 3 batts. 👍👍👍👍👍
Banggood changed their shipping last year and it is now really fast, so it should not be much longer.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes I agree I have ordered a ton of stuff from Banggood the shipping is much faster now for some reason my helicopter got held up in China customs. Thanks for replying
At the right filming angle and altitude…could fool someone into thinking the real one was flying by

I never could really get a grip on what the trim buttons do...on anything. I've always made things worse with those lol
Trim works like this. If the helicopter drifts to the left while hovering indoors, you just add a few clicks of trim to the right and the helicopter remains entered from then on every time you use it. Only use trim indoors.
I would like this in US Coast Guard colors.
Great, i see buying it with 3 batteries is only €10 more than buying the basic offer with only 1 battery. Bargain and no brainer in this case. 👍

Where we calibrate the gyro? There no button and no joystick combination

you're so funny. great review. never saw someone blowing at a rc helicopter 😂
no brushless burn if you block blade 10 second
how did you transmit the footage from the insta 360 to the pfv googles?
The INSTA360 is not an FPV camera, so no "over the air to goggles" footage was done.
Any chance that this E120 can be flown upside down? or It is just a starter heli for practicing the basic flight maneuvers i guess.
I am beginner only and would love to buy this one.
Very much a starter heli
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks a lot!
Does it use brushless motor in the main rotor?
for ages 2 years old and up,
Pls.help how to calibrate.we're having hard time in controlling the helli.
Hi is the eachine E120 uses a mode 1 or mode2 Controller Or is it switchable ?
If the joysticks remain in the center then it means it should be switchable
Wow so cool
Is the controller Mode 2? In another video he had it in Mode 1. Is that a request you can make when ordering? Thanks.
This is a toy controller (at least that is what mine is in the video) which means you change the mode to your preference.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Good idea thanks. Also I have since found some sites let you select the mode you want when purchasing.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 One I've found on eBay says holding the landing button down whilst turning on the TX changes the mode.
