I also did a review on the Bugs 2 which is a version with GPS : [ Ссылка ]
If you don’t care about all the bells and whistles and just want a low cost/high-performance drone, then you’ll definitely want to consider this one.
The all-around build quality is great.
The taller set of landing gear has a nice wide stance to keep from tipping on rough landings. The legs do get in the shot just a little, but that can easily be cropped out in post-production without losing too much of your footage. You also have the sturdy pre-installed landing legs if you don’t plan on using the bottom camera mount.
It does include blade guards but I HIGHLY recommend not flying this near any person or animal. The blade guards are not going to do much if this thing hits someone. The blades are very sharp and spin very fast so please be careful when flying.
The camera mount holds my GoPro in place with a very secure latch. The camera vibration wasn’t bad but wasn’t perfect. I was able to improve the footage by simple wedging in some foam on either side of the mount to keep is steady. I didn’t use this throughout all the footage so I’ll note in the video which parts have the foam and which do not. The mount does tilt up and down manually.
The Brushless motors are very precise when putting in even the slightest controls. If you’ve ever tried capturing video from a drone with Brushed motors before you’ll notice a big decrease in vibration and the jello effect. It does not have a gimbal so your shots are going to be pointed where the drone is pointed. If you have a steady hand and with light winds, you can still get some impressive shots. The Acceleration is insane. Even with a heavy GoPro, this drone has a ton of power.
I like how I can simply plug in the battery turn on the control and go. If you don’t want to spend all the extra time setting up your GPS, your gimble and, connecting a live FPV feed, this quad be all set up and ready to go in less than a minute.
It has a nicely balance gyro which holds the drone steady when you let go of your right stick b there is no GPS or Altitude hold so if there is a breeze it will drift. This model has a very bright LED in front which can been seen during the day and helps a lot when it gets too far to tell which direction it’s pointed. Simply rotate the quad until you see the white light pointed at you and you’ll be able to guide it back. You also have a total of 16 super bright white and blue LEDs underneath which help with orientation.
The top can be easily removed to access the main board. Here you’ll see where you can attach the optional cameras that MJX offers, either WIFI, 5.8 ghz, or their panoramic camera. They also offer their own sports camera and a couple different displays if you want to fly FPV.
There’s also room if you wanted to add your own FPV camera and these are your 4 independent escs for each motor.
Flight times when carrying a GoPro and flying aggressive were around 10 minutes which is pretty good. If you’re flying slow without a camera then you’ll be able to get around 15-18 minutes.
The transmitter does have a Range and battery alarm which is nice if you flying FPV or flying too far away to notice the LED blinking on the quad.
Range was great. I took it as far as I could see it with no loss in signal. Unless you’re flying FPV there’s no need to take it further than that.
The rotors are self-tightening so there are no screws. If you’re unfamiliar with quadcopters, make sure to pay attention to the A and B blades. They’re labeled on the blade and on each arm. Put them on in the wrong order and your quad won’t fly.
Thank you so much for watching, if you found the video helpful I always appreciate those thumbs up! And if you have any questions please leave them in the comments below and make sure to subscribe to keep up to date with future reviews. Enjoy the rest of the flight footage.
