Mjx doesn't often disappoint in their price category. Looks like a keeper for someone's 1st camera drone.
Just got mine and just so much fun not disappointed by any means
Really thinking about buying this.. Should I go for it? I have plenty of practice with very inexpensive drones..
Thank you, Captain! I already bought mjx b 19 eis with your advice. Tried it for several times. And then bought DJI Air. But MJX drones helped me to understand, what abilities of the drone I need. So you are right, that these drones are for the beginners. Or the training. I gave my MJX drones to my daughter - now she is practicing in flights. And once again - thank you for the great overview! Good flights to you. Hello from Russia! ;)
Probably the best video footage I've seen for a drone in this category. It was smooth and stable. So this one is a sure winner.
Captain we really appreciate your willingness to review drones from many different price points. 👍
Im getting one.Thanks for the great review,wil definitely watch video again as im learning the drone.A big thanks from South Africa.
Awesome review and flight, love that 3 axis camera. MJX finally did it.
A must have. ❤️
Finally a bugs that can compete with age old spark. Kudos to MJX. Thanks for the review Cap
Another Great Video Steve!! Thank You!!
Just wanted to say thank you for all of your quality reviews. Thanks. God bless.
I was really impressed with the old bugs 4 w 4k the only thing that needed was a 3 axis gimbal, but now I'm really impressed with the 16 I must get one .. great video 👍
Thanks for the discount code. I was able to get a little over US$20 discount. Really appreciate your reviews, it helps me a lot to find something that would work for me. Looking forward to more of your reviews in the future.
Glad to help!
i must say...this one is pretty sweet..... decent amount of quality..... way way better then those SG drones....im really impressed...especially hot it handles the wind.....from watching all your drone reviews i can tell that Bugs are the golden middle standard.....just awesome !!
Awesome drone and it takes its job seriously. Thanks again Mr. Captain Drone you're done your mission perfectly !!!!
Hi Steve, I've been watching a lot of drone videos as I'm new to the hobby and I have to say yours are the most informative and impartial. After watching this video I've taken the plunge and got the Bugs 16 pro. Absolutely blown away how good it is and easy to fly. Obviously I have now subscribed to your channel. So pleased with the purchase and your reviews. Many thanks and keep up the entertaining videos.
Thank you David. Glad you are enjoying the Bugs.
How is the footage from it?
Great video Steve. Can’t wait to see you review the new sub 250gram Bugs19 4K EIS Mini Drone
MJX Bugs has always made good dependable Drones at a great price. Looks like another keeper.
Thanks Captain
This video was the deciding factor. Thanks Cap!
A incredibly nice drone to have.👍🙂. I'm impressed with the video quality and very stable. Great long flight time.
Thank you so much Steve and God bless you always and everyone everyday 🙏. Have a great weekend sir
You are like a openly free coacher about drone. I am waiting for your new videos. Thanks!😍
brilliant review as always captain.
It seems that they have really upped the budget drone game compared to 2 years ago. It really seens decent and the gimbal is always a good addon :) thanks Cap.
Great review. Excellent quality video and images. Very steady drone in that wind. 👍
I think it's the first drone in this price category in which I like the camera .... it's not at the mini 2 level or fimi mini but it's not far.Goood job Mjx. Have a nice wekeend Captain!
nice review... this model already on my list.will get it soon... tq for sharing your knowledge and information... will always support your video captain
Great review, drone looks awesome for a beginners drone. 👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you do all these reviews. I know not every drone is perfect. And even within the same model there can be "Lemons" --- but I am going to give this one a try.
I wish I could get the Dji mini 2 fly more combo but your the reason you got me into drones I love you man. thank you!!
Really clear video I love the bugs drones great video
i'm always happy to hear your review because the words you say are always positive unlike other reviewers who are sometimes cynical about products.
Thanks Tonny. If something is weak or not that great in a drone, I'll always mention it, but won't spend 50% of the video harping on it.
Captain, this video is also interesting as always!
Will you also do some polls related to drones and other stuff on your community tab?
It would be nice!
reminded me of my bugs 3 thats sitting around here in parts because they didnt want to sell me an esc. they wuld have fixed it free if i paid $30 shipping. I thought I could find one online and found plenty the right size but not from the same manufacturer but then I wouldnt trust just buying one and having an oddball esc. I love that drone. It had the most basic of Gyro so I could pull off flips with it although not the easiest to fly, I crashed into myself a couple of times, once right into my hand on a below freezing day and I ont have to tell you about that kind of pain, YEOUCH!!!
My first drone was the MJX Bugs 2 and that was a great drone also. Looks like they have another winner in this one.
Love you polaroid sound effect for the pictures!
Another contender for the price ....... so many to choose from and a real steal with the 3 axis gimbal ....... I’ll stick with my F11 4K pro and having so much fun with it ....... then move onto the DJI mavic 2 or even the 3 if it comes out ....... however these entry level drones are absolute quality for the price and this is up there with them ..... well done MJX you have a winner here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ....... excellent video as ever Steve keep up the great work mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
that thing is amazing great image and very stable
Hey Cap wish I could swap some of your cold air for some of my warm one lol. Love that drone hopefully the price won’t hurt me dwl. Keep them coming Cap
*MJX is back!!!*
Thats a really beautiful drone Steve!
Its really long and looks awesome just like a rod when folded...
I am surprised that this superb monster costs 4 times less than my Mini 2...lol
The bigger it is the cooler it will be!!!
I like the camera of this drone and its also stabilized.
Thank you for the drone review, I really like this video
Finally a gimbal on mjx drone..and it's 3 axis gimbal..it's the best mjx drone to date (of course it's new)..but i think the drone and fpv range let's it down, no upgrade from the older mjx drones..even bugs 2 and bugs 4 has longer range..
I like it.. thanks for the review 🤙
Pretty cool and it has smooth gimbal and nice video
Really nice drone, always liked my Bugs drones. This is the very first MJX Bugs to have a 3 axis gimbal. I have the Bugs B20 EIS. Now will have to get this 16 PRO. Great drone and video Steve. 👍👍👍😊
I got my answer. Better grab 16 pro compare to 20 eis
@@pendekar.house.property : No way. Only fly DJI these days and no going back.
Great review 👍
wow what a nice review......💖💖👌👌.plz review MJX BUGS 19 immediately......love this very much...good luck for your future reviews❤❤✌✌
Another great review
Looks like a fine drone and another fine review!! Thanks Captain Kirk.... I mean Captain Drone!
That's really good videos and photos.
I am literally addicted to your channel
Can't wait to this drone once the snow melts! Thanks again Steve.
Enjoy!
Great review 👍 I've pretty much watched every video on it and you explain things better. I'm a complete beginner and think this is perfect for me and my other hobby to get extra footage
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely 👌 I watch a lot of your videos. Can't find anything on controlling one. A birds eye view of the controller and a video of the drone movement would be great
This looks like an excellent beginner drone or trainer drone. I do look forward to the day when physical calibrations are no longer needed before every flight on these sub $300 drones and connect via cable to a phone or tablet like the higher end drones do.
nice review. it is nice to see better products from bugz. looks like this one is a Mavic Mini killer? but the video looks cloudy but definitely stable than old bugs.
Good review Steve
Pretty good 4K video form such fairly priced drone!
I found it on Smart Shop U.K. for £179.00 !! Good price I think ?.. always a bit windy here ! Good preview , it might go to my collection !
Think I'm gonna get this, thanks alot
Thanks captain drone I think I know now what suits my needs and budget😊
It's very impressive for the money, bugs make good drones, bugs 4 w still might favourite just loved it house brick design, but that one looks an accurate lander.
Great review, you're right it does look a lot like my Anafi.
I was going to ask about range, but you answered it. Idaho Quadcopter reviewed it and he couldn't get past 200 without a disconnect. Yours is the 3rd review I watched and his is the only one that had that issue.
Range all depends on your phone wifi antenna... where is located in your phone and how good is it. Now if you don’t use your phone and fly it using just the remote you can probably get 1000 meter range.
Looks like I've just found a good cheap drone to keep on site at work 👍🏻👊🏻🇬🇧
Ditto on everytiing. I LOVE mine!
I seem to have the worst timing when buying drones. That drone flies really stable, and I think the camera beats the F11 4K Pro's camera, aside from the fisheye (which I guess is removable through video editing). Thank you for another solid review Captain!
As far as F11 goes, beyond that, does it fly well? I'm considering purchasing one.
On the other hand, I just got THIS drone (Bugs 16 Pro,and fixing to take it outside for its first flight here shortly.
@@kyleellis7505 TL,DR: It flies very well minus a few gripes and inconsistencies. Surprising good video transmission. So and so video quality, you get what you pay for. Awesome flight time, I rarely fly until low battery warning.
If you're reading this far, I'm going into more detail. Very much anecdotal evidence and not representative of the base performance, but I share what I can. I'll separate the sections and I hope Captain doesn't mind me filling up the comment section of his video.
Big Issues:
The remote doesn't show distance and speed, so you're relying completely on your phone with the App to maintain a connection. If you lose connection, no telemetry data. Lighting for status indication is not clear, especially under sun light, MJX's screens work better. No rate adjustment for yaw, pitch and tilt. If you run through the training exercises, orbit manually is a pain as the drone's yaw rate is too high (might be an issue with only mine though, bear that in mind). The battery takes 4-5 hours to charge at 1.8 to 2A, so a lot of preplanning, and micro-USB charging port.
Minor Gripes:
While the GPS lock is quick (set up is very fast), and when stationary, holds position well even in wind. When moving especially in slower, more precise movements, the drone doesn't really compensate against the wind. Example: I inch it forward (slight input on forward movement), the wind blows from the left, the drone tends to move diagonally in that direction instead of compensating for the wind's horizontal movement (unlike my experience with the Bugs 4W). The remote tends to lose connection more than the video transmission (again, might be specific to my unit, and the phone I'm using is a Samsung S8). Lastly, when it initiates a return to home due to lost connection with the remote, it turns to face the home point's direction, start to move, and instead of simply following through with the process, once connection is regained, the drone immediately stops and you regain control (in comparison, you have to manually cancel the process in the Bugs 4W). This can be fine, however, most situations leave the drone continuously disconnecting and reconnecting, so it just spins in place (note that I maintain LOS, so I can see this happen in real time), until I turn off the remote. Then as it gets ready for landing, I turn the remote back on and regain control properly.
The Good:
It really flies well, and while doing the training exercises, it's really fun making figure 8s in the sky while maintaining quite a bit of the momentum. I found following through with a turn (with a yaw and tilt input) to be smoother with this drone, so a really good flight controller in that sense. The camera while not as good as a Mavic, is really a step up from the Bugs 4W, the gimbal and EIS work very well, lots of usable footage, even with the lacking quality. Transmission range (when it works) is really stable and I've pushed the drone further than I'm comfortable with (tiny dot in the sky) while still being able to maintain video and control (500+ meters far, 70+ meters high, with trees and power lines in between). The flight time is far longer than my Bugs 4W as well, I usually stop before any low battery warning (with 2 batteries, my average flight time is 18-20 minutes per battery based on my flight records). The folding feature is nice as well, with a very compact carrying case (basically reiterating what Captain covered in his review).
Thanks for great review Steve! Please put link with some image samples!
Fpv for life 🤙🏻
For a extra Budget drone it is really awsome.
Looks cool
Hi nice review
Again.. One more nice looking drone that I could afford but can't buy in Latvia..... :( great review as always :)
A lot about the app reminds me very strongly of the *Ophelia GO* app for the Holy Stone HS720E.
Thank you!
here in the philippines, it's worth more or less $300.. really an awesome budget gps drone...

Never knew drones can bounce like balls...
😂😂😂
i would rather prefer that as a starter.. great review😊😊😊
Super Like!
👍Bugs🚁16 Pro👍
captain please make a review on zino mini pro..🙏🙏🙏 thank you by the way awesome review on that bugs 16😁😁
The B16 is certainly an improvement...well done captain
cool review ...
Thanks for the video!
BIG QUESTION: Does this have the no fly zones in the app - either just the Warning OR the "no-go-unless-you-are-authorized-sign-in-etc" versions of this ...ummm...feature? Also, do you consider the App for this drone VERY reliable? Thanks again.
I just ordered mine today. I wanted to catch it while it was still on sale. I couldn't decide if I wanted it or a phantom 3 which was used, had to get this and I can't wait for it to arrive.
I'm sure you will enjoy it.
You really love doing these reviews and it translates across to us viewers in your excellent videos. I really love watching them!
Can I ask you one question, when these companies send you these drones to test, are you allowed to keep them or do you have to send them back??
This will answer your question: czcams.com/video/ZbbHbIP2YWg/video.html
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hi, thank you for taking the time to reply! Wow just watched that video you linked, what an eye opener, it really was! As an outsider looking in and the way you present your videos with such passion, you make it look like your bringing in mega $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Bugs 19 is finally on sale and I have been waiting for it's release before thinking of buying either the 16 or 19. Really surprised that the 19 is cheaper than the 16. On sale on banggood. Looking forward to CZcams views on the bugs 19 so then I can make my mind up on buying. Keep up the good work and I really injoy watching your videos.
Have you had experience buying from Banggood.? I’m wondering how they are to deal with in the event something is wrong or defective with the product. 🤟🏼
@@Jimmy_Cavallo I've never had a problem with banggood. I just check the sellers ratings and reviews with pictures
@@Jimmy_Cavallo I had a problem with a drone from Aliexpress and had to send it back which cost me like 25 pounds and took 3 months before they refunded me. Everything I've brought from banggood I've never had a problem with.
Your license plate 👍😂😂
That was priceless
Not many people have noticed :-)
Nice
Mjx is bringing the heat
Man when I saw the video was releasing I tried to stay awake but I slept away 😅
The camera is amazing
So many drones...not enough money. Haha! I love it.
It's camera so clear. In my country 220$ come with a battery. I'll buy it soon
I love your intros
Thanks for the reviews, now the hard parts. Which drone to buy. Picture and video quality is decent for the price on the market.
A 4K drone for that money! This is a giveaway! Great drone for the price for those just starting out.
I love your jeep and that colour
Thanks!
Mantab Suhu. Saya suka Reviewnya 👍
Steve B rocking our world 🌎 again!
What do you think is the better drone from bugs ? The pro 16... Or the 20 IES ? Thanks
One of the good drones after DJI with this price range. Bad side is signal can be lost about 400-500 meters but controller range is about 1 km maximum. Video quality can be count good for 4K level but not very good like DJI drones. Material quality is nice even if i had many crash there is still no serious damage.. App side not good but makes your job for short video edits..
Just watched this video. Great job with the full description, and details. Well full as far as I need to see. A good Facebook friend sent me out one of these in the mail today. He sent this link for me to watch. Now I know what to expect. He said he couldn't find the manual. I didn't mind a bit. I could get a pdf if I needed it. I'm getting this for $75. It's in great shape. I told him that I didn't have much money, and asked if he had one laying around that I could buy. Really nice of him. I never had a drone with a gimbal, or to control the camera from the transmitter and zoom? All new to me. I live at the waterfront of Marine City Michigan. A short hip across the water is Canada. I won't be flying in that direction. If I had a drone registered, can I use the same registration number? I believe it's supposed to be registered because of it's weight. I need to find out how to find my registration number again. I got it when it was free. I'll have to check online under something. Can't wait to get this. Thanks for a great review. Liked and subscribed!
Hello. Enjoy the drone! If you can’t locate the registration number, then use the number you see on your phone when you search for the wifi signal from the drone (that is the identifying number).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I never knew that. I greatly appreciate the help. It's a pleasure to hear from you personally. I'll check back in a few days and let you know how it went. I know it's worth getting thanks to such a great review that you did here. Best wishes to you and yours.
