Imagine having a neighbor that doesn’t complain about your drone. Must be nice. My neighbors call the cops because I’m “spying” on them
I gave my neighbor that drone and many others and now he’s into the hobby! That’s awful! I’ve never had the cops called on me for flying a drone but in the area behind my area I stick to that back field and I do not fly over any homes. He knows the rules and regs, and we basically just fly back there. There is no reason anyone should complain about me flying over an empty field.
yoo.. i had thatbhappened to me.. however, it IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW TOFLY YOUR DRONE. SERIOUSLY,.. FUCK EM.. NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS LONG AS UR NOT UNDER ROOF HEIGHT IN THE YARD..
Does the video quality look better when it saves to the SD
Oh my neighbour is even more into drones than I am. We fly ours together often
hhhhhhhhh
For the price the flight characteristics and video are surprisingly good. That Soyuz landing was entertaining, as well. Toy drones will always be fun🚁😷👍👍
Great job as always, thank you John. Stay safe my friend.
You too G bro! Thank you.
Very cool and fun video man and the fact you have neighbors that fly is awesome
Many thanks for taking the time to do this.
And thank you for taking the time to comment! Every comment and subscription helps.
Hiya John! Great to see you! Dang, that thing is quiet, awesome! Cheers, bro!
Thanks, appreciate it!
It has a good picture for not having stabilization. Good video JC.
I just picked one of these up today, very helpful review.
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice mna, doesnt look too bad. It does look pretty clear. When I can I want to start picking up some of these off brands and Checking them out! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Sam!
Thanks for the review
That was helpful. Thanks
Nice video, Cuppi. Seems like it would be a nice beginner drone for most folks. Reminds me of my old Visuo xs812.
Hey demacro good to see you, yes, actually I think the Visuo XS812 gps is better in some ways.
Nice review brother, thanks for sharing. I couldn't help but notice those construction sites and all of those dirt mounds. Nice bash spot for r/c cars & trucks, lol.
Thanks, hope you're staying safe and doing well. Yeah they just started carving that big dirt mound out even more. 🤣
THANKS BRO i was having trouble coordinating the right motions to callibrate the gps. totally needed that lol
Glad to hear it 👍🏻
Nice review!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow not bad video, sorry John I haven’t been getting all my notifications. I was telling David I wasn’t getting his as well.
Great review thank you :)
My pleasure!
Not a bad drone for the price, and video was decent for this price range. Great review and thanks for sharing.
It's about right at $80 for what it can do, Thanks for checking it out Ron!
Great review my friend 👍 I subscribed to you on Drone Therapy a few weeks ago. This doesn't look like too bad of a toy grade drone. I wish it had a little more distance. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching DT, glad to see you here, I have you supported as well 👍
@@JohnCuppi thanks John I love your channel icon👍
Hey.
Amazing video
+1 big like
Stay safe 💐💐💐
Thank you! You too!
Nice review🤓. Wow, you guys got close there with your neighbor. I wonder how long that drone would last landing like that🧐..lol 😆
Yeah is a pretty decent toy grade GPS, has decent range and the 2.5k video is quite clear, on a calmer day i think it would be much easier on the brushed motors for more stable flight! good review John👍
Yup this one is best used in calm, perfect conditions. Today is even worse, unflyably bad actually so I'm glad I was able to fly yesterday! Thanks David. 👍
Thank you for the video you help my verry much!!!
Thanks so much, I hope you have great holidays!
Hey John out there enjoying the sun -- Drone on Brother -- b safe EJ
Getting that Vitamin D from the sun, heck yeah! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the review. $100 seems about right. A few years back this would easily run you $300. I am still very happy with my used dji3 advace I bought used for 500 of Craig a few years back. I don't fly it as much since I am into the fpv stuff now but still a solid buy today. Hope all is good.
It's $83 from CN with 1 battery, I actually had the wrong link to the one with 3 batteries. All is good, thanks for checking it out! It's about what I paid for a Syma X5C 5 years ago, which had way worse video, no gps, no stablization, etc.
Thx for the info maybe Il get one
It's a nice drone, but keep an eye on my channel because I have a preorder for the JJRC X16 which is a brushless drone for only $10 more than the e520s is. Check it out, the specifications are impressive. If it works well, the e520s will be very outdated. Here's a link to the x16. www.banggood.com/custlink/G3vycgljWC

Thank you for your help and time, I appreciate it. :)
Wow! The video quality is pretty good. Nice one John.
So cool you still have all that room to fly from home. Hopefully it stays that way for a while before houses are put in.
Enjoying it while it lasts!
Oh hell yeah >:0
Was this the 5GHz 4K or the 2.4GHz 4K? I ordered mine a few days ago, hope it gets here soon.
5GHz 4K version
Complimenti per il bel video! Una domanda è dotato di gimbal e Microfono? Se non lo ha almeno la cam é regolabile in volo?
The image quality looks really good to me for the price of the drone. It's much better than most I've seen including more expensive models.
I just wish they wouldn’t advertise at “4K” when it’s basically just upscaled. But that’s just marketing for you. 🤷♂️ as long as someone is aware of the reality of the video from this thing, I think it’s not a bad little toy grade quad for the right price
nice review ...but oh my goodness that brushed motor scream !!
It’s the darn gears more than the motors actually! Thanks bill.
That is good flycam
Hello, how could you pass the units by the meter? They appear to me in ft and mph
Nice 👍 How does it handle wind?
Hi. Can you recommend an FPV for the Eachine 520s drone please?
🤣😂🤣😂That was some fast and hard landing. 😂🤣😂
Lmao! Thanks ray.
I just got mine! For $95 I can’t complain, one thing I couldn’t figure out, can the app tilt the camera or is it locked in one place?
It’s locked in place and can only be adjusted manually with your hands.
I just bought this from newegg for about 60$ first ever drone and with video recording I'm okay with that. Going to take this to Mexico 🇲🇽 and capture all the beautiful land around my family property
😎👍
Mine looses connection once's it's in the air , it starts flashing blue lights , any idea how i can fix this ?
I bought one recently and I try to go out max range but why the battery always go so fast
Do you think it stopped at 200 meters due to a geo fence or did it run out of signal? I would do an antenna upgrade but only if it would increase the range. Also, I'd attach a Eachine tx02 camera with a small battery if the motors will take the extra weight... which is very little weight. How does this compare to the Visuo xs809s or xs812 for power?
The drone did not physically stop, only the WiFi video died. I’m really not sure about the power - sorry!
Hi John, have you tried it on a windy day? I want to get a cheap drone that can withstand a fair bit of wind. Not a tornado or anything but the winds that you'd get near the shorelines.
The e520s is not a drone you’d want to use with shoreline wind. Brushed motors aren’t very powerful and it will move all over the place. Let me know what your maximum budget and I’ll find something but decent brushless will cost around $150 to $200 usd.
@@JohnCuppi thank you, John. Newbie to drones and thought I can get away to betting on this drone or a Tello. I'm too scared to get a more expensive drone and see it kerploop into the sea.
Liked and sub'd
Thanks for the support! 👍
So I downloaded the app and when I’m in it, I can’t acces the drones camera I just see a default wallpaper in the background
make sure you are connected to the drone in the wifi settings on your phone.
Which drone do you think is better, between this one and the snaptain sp500, I've seen your review for the snaptain but its pretty close...
These are honestly pretty much the same with respect to what you can actually use them for realistically. At the end of the day both are great platforms for just learning how to fly on something inexpensive. If you don’t mind waiting on shipping times and the price is lower, get the eachine. Otherwise get the snaptain.
@@JohnCuppi thank you..
Yo thats sick!! I havent ever had a legit drone with the camera would you recommend this over the e58?
I’ve never tried the eachine e58 but the e520s is a lot newer.
@@JohnCuppi ok
Is the range of 5GHz better than 2,4GHz version? The 2,4GHz is usually better for higher ranges. So I don't know which version to buy.
I don’t know because I only had the 5Ghz version. You are correct that 2.4ghz has more range and penetration in general, but since this is still just a toy that has to connect to a wi-fi receiver in a phone - I wouldn’t expect any more than 100ft or so. And it can actually be much worse if you are flying anywhere that 2.4 ghz networks are around you.
I wish I had that kind off drone hope you sponsor me
Sorry, I don’t have this drone anymore. I gave it to a kid last year.
Hey awesome video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to pan my camera up and down.. the control panel on my phone doesn’t have the same “up and down” looking function on the lower right of your phone screen. If you could help that’d be awesome. Thanks!
The camera does not pan up and down with any control it is manually adjusted only. Sorry!
John Cuppi no worries at all! I’m not that bummed about it just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t bust it if I manually adjusted. Thanks!
@@tonyarendt3314 Totally fine to adjust it manually and it should move easily!
Im thinking of getting this drone soon would you recommend it?
If you’re okay with the video quality and range here, then sure. This is a toy drone and not meant for anything serious. I think it’s a good first cheap drone to learn on.
@@JohnCuppi okay thank you
Do you think this drone will pull up a two ounce weight and take it out to the ocean . Planning on a drop rig under it
No. Definitely not.
I try to connect it with the app eachine GPS but the camera on screen shows pink or white, I don't know what to do. Any help please;
I'm sorry I missed this comment. Did you ever get this solved? What smartphone are you using?
How long 100% -0% battery ?
thats awsome. i was buying the spare camera for this and put that on my other quadcopter. is it true 4k?
It is not true 4K, at 5:12 I posted the file metadata -- none of these drones ever really do 'true 4k', since they are toys and it's just a marketing gimmick.
2:30 it looks clear, i'm shocked
It's one of the better toygrade cameras, despite the marketing 4k fluff.
John Cuppi what should i do to get a camera like this. I buyed 4K, 5G Eachine 520 drohne
Alex Alukk1904 that’s the version I have 👍🏻
Can you control the angle of the camera by the app?
No the angle can only be manually controlled by moving it on the drone before take off.
Hey bro, can i put the cam Polaroid cube + on the drone?
Good question, I would say no you cannot put the Polaroid cube + on this and have a good experience. This drone has brushed motors, and will not be able to lift much weight. Polaroid cube weight is 45 grams, this seems small but it's significant weight to add to this drone. Sorry! :(
Does it save the drone' position gps coordinates inside the photos? Geotagged?
That’s a good question. Unfortunately I gave it away to a kid to play with but if I had to guess my answer would be no.
Hi... is there any different between eachine e520s with e52 max??
Eachine E52 Max looks like the same drone to me under a different name.
Salut, c'est quoi l'application du drone s'il te plaît ?
Hello. For a few days the eachine tec app crashes when I select the e520s drone. Do you have the same problem? Have you found a solution?
No, I never had this problem. What platform are you using the app on?
@@JohnCuppi Xiaomi mi 10t
Do you need to register if you buy this drone for CAA ?
Yes. This weighs 280grams with battery. It requires FAA registration to fly as well.
How do I get my camera to switch on I have same drone??
There is no on/off switch for the camera, it should be on automatically out of the box. 🙂
Do I have to have a 5g phone for this?
You need a phone that can connect to 5Ghz wifi connections -- not '5G' cellular service. Most phones made since 2015 can connect to 5Ghz wifi. Hope this helps.
Can you move the camera?
Yes, you can adjust the camera angle manually.
I flew mine into lake Erie and it still worked. And you know those arent antennas right.
Wow, that's pretty good, it survived the water huh? Haha. And yes, I stated that the atennas are totally fake and just for decoration at 2:44 but I extend them anyway because then I'll get way too many comments saying "You did a range test but didn't point the antennas, idiot!" from people who don't watch the whole video.
My bad . but ya I outgrew this qwad quickly. Thw cam did end up crapping out so ive been playing with the idea of mounting a new /better one. I have a tinyhawk2 and a 5in I built off a banggood dragon fpv frame so ive just been ripping that.
@@K_Nasty It's ok! I could tell based on your name that you were a fellow FPV flyer, so you were smart to notice the antennas. Not many would point that out. Yes, I've 'outgrown' these kinds of drones too, they're fun for a quick flight but that's it. The vendors still send them out to me for review and I'm happy to check out how they fly. After all, what got me into the hobby to begin with was a drone like this. Bought a Syma X5C-1 and paid $75 USD for it back in 2015. Everybody starts somewhere. I checked your channel out, looks good. 👍
How do you get those two Controller things in the Camera out the way
See the gamepad icon on the left hand side, the first icon underneath the little quadcopter one? Tap that button to disable the phone control sticks
Thanks man love your vids I am looking to be a pro drone flier just like you your my inspiration dude Thanks dude🤩🤩🤩🦸🏻♂️🦸🏻♂️🦸🏻♂️🦸🏻♂️
I have this drone but can't play the video on windows 10 player. I download VLC app, the same problem, I cannot play the video only the pictures. Need help !!!
What file format are they in? .mov or .mp4? I have Windows 10 - the only other thing I can think of is something corrupt on the sd card. Did you stop the video before pulling the battery from the drone? If not, this can cause the video files to become corrupt.
@@JohnCuppi its .mp4 when battery was low, I land the drone turn it off and took the sd card out. There's no way to stop the video from the drone. Tell me.
Can you move the camera up and down from the remote
No you cannot. It is a manual adjustment only.
Okay thank you
How do you get the app in Metric units (meters)?
It is in Feet when i download it
The white gear in the upper right hand corner is the settings, which should have an option for feet/meters
@@JohnCuppi Hi John
That's the first place I checked
You cannot change the unit there.
When you downloaded it, was it already in Metric?
How long do the motors last. I got the hubsan h502c as well as h502s and the motors die after about 10- 20 flights😠😠
So, with brushed motors it’s tough because they have a more limited life. Some will run for a very long time, and that will also depend on what kind of abuse the motors had if any during their run time. It’s so important to disarm/stop any quad that’s stuck somewhere, because that seriously jams brushed motors and kills them. The best I can tell you is that I gifted this to my neighbor and his grandkids, and they are still flying it! I’m guessing it has far more than 20 flights on it at this point. But if you never want to deal with dead motors from usage, go brushless.
@@JohnCuppi thank you sir. Apart from the hubsan h501s do you know any other cheap drones? Thanks
Do I have to register this bad boy with the FAA?
No, it weighs 248g, just under the limit.
how to delete the sight of hte propeler? it spoils the vision in my opinon. Its a shame.
To avoid propellers in the video there are two options: a) lower the camera angle before flying until you don’t see them, or b) crop the video in post production.
@@JohnCuppi thank you for the advices
is it larger than the E58? does it fly fast too?
I believe this is a tad larger than the E58. It's a brushed quadcopter, so fast is subjective but the speed is okay. Motors seem to have some pretty good torque for brushed, it held in the wind that day pretty well.
@@JohnCuppi thanks
How much is the weight of the drone?
Flying Weight: 248g (with Battery)
Damm i don't know why but when I connect to the drone its always 0 satellite signal and i don't know what to do (my gps in phone is on)
Not sure why this would be happening either, have you tried in a different location?
@@JohnCuppi Hmm ima try tomorrow and tell how it went
@@JohnCuppi okay so i tried in different place and signal was good so i guess it worked but i was flying drone and when he was at 20% he suddenly turned "return to home" by itself and battery dropped to 2% in matter of seconds, he went 5 meters in the air, flip over and fell on grass, there was smoke coming out of it and idk if this were the motors burning or the battery. Anyway thanks for your advice but i think he's not gonna fly anytime soon 😬
How to connect this for phone
WiFi network settings
Whqt are brushless motors
Google can explain brushless vs brushed motors best, but basically brushless motors are more powerful, longer lasting, and more energy efficient. They are also more expensive, which is why budget drones like this one do not have them.
I'd like to get it just to use the body to put my own parts in
better just stick to drone parts.
What is flying time and battery mah
About 10 to 12 minutes. Battery information is in the product link along with other specifications.
What is the 2.4G WiFi 4K HD option for
Also is the 1080p option much different from the 4K
The 2.4g wifi version is for older phones that may not have 5.8 ghz wifi available to them. And, honestly? I think if you went 1080p it's not going to matter much at all, the video you take from this is not intended to be used for anything but causal video anyway. Save the $8 and get the 1080p version.
John Cuppi thank you, much appreciated
Is it worth getting it with GPS?
GPS doesn't cost you anything extra on this one. But, y'know it depends on what you want to do. You're definitely not going to be making any production grade video with this (obviously), but if your intention is to upgrade to a DJI Mavic Air 2, or similar GPS camera bird in the future, this will give you a flight experience with gps that you don't have to worry too much about crashing and/or breaking it. I started on a toy grade quad like this for $80 without any altitude hold, stabilization, nothing, because 5 years ago they didn't have such things. And that was pretty hard. This is easy to get flying.
No video stabilitization?
This has no stabilization. At this price point of $60 to $70, it just isn't really feasible at the moment. If you want something with stablization, the L109 Pro: bit.ly/3fX5qrt ... is pretty good looking from what I've seen so far. 2-axis gimbal and brushless GPS. Of course it costs I'm going to try to get that one in for review. (BGL109PRO makes the price $120)
Do have your own review of l109 pro?

If the price is right this would be good for a small kid to play with. I wouldn't pay over 50 bucks for it. I also wouldn't use this thing ever.
This has honestly gotten way more expensive this year. You used to be able to get deals on this one to buy it for around $60 or so and now the absolute best price is like $85.
There is no stabilization in the videos! If the video is not smooth then i dont know for which reason we should buy it! After all we are not kids to play with toys
What do you expect? If you want a drone with stabilized video you should check out the bugs 20 EIS but it will cost you. This is a toy. Made for kids or adults who just want to have fun flying, learning to fly, and capturing some video for shits and giggles. You don't want toy grade video? Pay up!
