Jincheng (金诚, literally means Golden Honesty) 1 UAV is a very little known Chinese UAV developed for aerial cinematography, photography, and survey missions.

Jincheng 1 UAV is a miniature unmanned helicopter that is capable of fully autonomous flight, or alternatively, remotely piloted. Jincheng 1 unmanned helicopter incorporates autopilot and while remotely piloted, the UAV can autonomously hovering at a fixed spot in mid air, just as in the fully autonomous mode.[1] The reason to incorporate such feature is to provide a more stable platform for aerial cinematography and photography tasks. The existence of Jincheng 1 UAV is publicized for the very first time when it is revealed that Jincheng 1 UAV was deployed numerous times to support the post disaster relief efforts and drills in Yunnan in the early 2000s, but as of 2011, despite being capable of carrying out reconnaissance mission as one of its originally designed missions, Jincheng 1 UAV has not being deployed in any combat.[1] Specification:[1]
