Hubsan H502S Worlds Cheapest GPS Follow Me FPV Camera Drone Flight Test Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2016
- This GPS camera quadcopter is currently the least expensive ready to fly to include FPV, follow me, and real GPS return to home/landing capability. Buy it here www.banggood.com/Hubsan-X4-H50... or here from Amazon amzn.to/2nMG6LW and also here amzn.to/2nMIWAI
Pro's
- Currently the lowest cost RTF GPS equipped quadcopter with follow me mode.
- Also includes 5.8 Ghz FPV. Receiver and monitor is built into the transmitter.
- Includes on screen display of telemetry information
- Includes position hold, headless mode, follow me, and return to landing.
- Will automatically fly back and land at its takeoff point upon activation of the return to home switch, or automatically if the quadcopter loses signal from the transmitter such as from flying out of range, from electrical interference, or if the transmitter is turned off (but don't deliberately turn off the transmitter to test this).
- Includes 2MP still pictures, 720p HD video camera.
- Small and safe quadcopter. Should be able to fly this most places without being hassled.
- Pretty good flight time at ov er 11 minutes for the "S" version (slightly more on the "E" basic GPS version).
- 150 grams weight. Does not require FAA registration.
Cons
- Although with very advanced features, the quadcopter also is equipped with brushed motors. You may need to replace a motor some day.
- Does not come with needed microSD card or card reader to record and download camera's video.

Quadcopter 101 is this better than cheerson cx 20
Thanks
hey quadcopter 101 i need ur opinion. i need a quad for photography with altitude hold. whats the cheapest that i can buy? i just need to practice before buying a high end drone thanks very much for your videos mate very helpful
Quadcopter 101 can you record on the remote like a dvr. ? Like can you record what you view on the screen as well as record on the drone separately ? , I seen in a video there is a micro chip on the side so is it for recording the telemetry/fpv screen
I always check your reviews before purchasing, thank you for that. On my H502S transmitter, pressing and holding the video button initiates circle mode.
have to say this is one of the best reviews i seen. you take your time to explain everything and show everything. most video's i'v seen are all rushed. thx 4 this. you got me subbed ;)
I watched many of your videos and always find them entertaining and educational keep up the good work.
In the model that I purchased in December, 2016, there is a female JST connector located at the top of the battery bay that allows for a LiPo battery to be plugged in. The exact same LiPo battery provided when you purchase the quadcopter fits exactly into the battery bay. It is a little snug but it does fit and the battery cover can be closed. It is not mentioned in the literature provided with the copter as an alternate but I went ahead and plugged it in and gave it a try. It worked just fine. It also registered a full charge on the meter on screen. Even when fully charged, my rechargeable Energizer 2500 mAh NiMH AA batteries only registered two or three bars. The advantage here is that you can use either the LiPo battery or the four AA option and you don't have to hack up the transmitter. My battery bay is a little different than others that I have seen in that it does not have a divider between the two battery rows which allows for the LiPo battery to fit in the bay.
Another great review Quadcopter 101, I like how you vary your flight spots and I have bought a couple of nice QC's due to your excellent reviews thank you.
Thanks for your reviews, i just ordered my h502s ! it looks awesome!
Hello brother!
I am also planning to buy this drone so can you please tell me that is this drone durable? I mean I heared that it's motors stop working after a while so I want to know your experience.
I always enjoy your reviews - you go in depth, and you seem to really take pleasure in your experience. Keep up the honesty, positive attitude and great reviews/variety.
you nailed the positive attitude
Back to back Hubsan. Great
Nice review Quadcopter 101 👍. Thx Dod.
i love your reviews and have been extremely helpful. thank you for investing the time and patience to make this possible to share with all of us. maybe if you bring along a takeoff/landing pad, as reference for viewers, gps landing and for protection from tiny debris. maybe a single rubber square of gym floor that they sell at walmart. just a possibly helpful thought. well, thanks again for the knowledgeable videos.
I LOVE your demos... they are so well done!!! I have bought several quads because of your demos....!!!! What you covered in this demo is genius...The up and down hill... Thanks... Did you do a review on the Walkera QR x350 I believe it was you who did a review, and you did not like it... Though it could have been someone else.....
Surprisingly great cam footage for a drone at that pricepoint!
if only he can choose when and what to record, or wait, WHERE HE IS ACTUALLY GOING
Nice,, bro,, bring a can of red spray paint with ya,, mark your spot,, lol another great video you just put up ...keep up the great work,,,
Thx I was looking for a cheap good drone for my birthday
For a sun shade, try the one for the Proto X-fpv. I got one for my x-4 h107D and it's a perfect fit (mad for the TX) so I think it would fit the 502S. it is like $6 or so on eBay, search "Proto X-fpv parts".
Hello 101, Bought my first Drone Hubsan 502E worlds cheapest drone with GPS base on your review and LOVED it! You cant go wrong with this $80 Drone. then moved on too the Blade 350 QX , QX2 and QX3 Family and frankly their not as fun as the Hubsan and the WI FI on the cameras create problems. Last night I ordered the Hubsan 502S with follow me and the built in screen. I am sure I will Love this one even more.
Cheaper can be better for the beginner Drone flyer and more convenient. I keep my Hubsan 502E in a brief case in my car and fly it on my lunch break that often draws a crowd.
I enjoy your reviews on Drones and often look for the videos With someone holding it in front of the camera!

@@madhavgautam5357 still flying mine! Yes I had to replace one motor
I really liked your review of the Hubsan H502S quadcopter. As most men, im becoming addicted to quadcopters, but not so much the cost..LOL anyways the H502S looks like my next purchase, which will be the 3rd in my fleet. I was looking at the CX-20, but that one is quite a bit more expensive. . so thanks again for posting this, really enjoyed it. Dan
I think the reason why the video was corrupt on the transmitter screen , was because maybe you need to program the transmitter for the right video frequency in the 5.8 GHz band. If you're one channel off, it looks corrupted. You can program that particular transmitter for different video frequencies in the 5.8 GHz band. It's programmed separately from binding it to the quadcopter flight frequency which is in the 2.4 GHz band. Maybe that might help
this look amazing for a beginner
I have one now and even modded the transmitter. I get between 450 and 500 meters now.
How u did it
Very cool video, thank you for sharing.
TBH ive given up on hubsan's since ive lost my 2 x4's and H107D plus. However these seem pretty good i might check them out :)
YAY 😄 I wanted the h501s but it's a little pricey thx 4 the review
Ian.. I had the 501S. Mine had the advanced transmitter. Lost it several times "out of control" I'm an experienced quad pilot too. Turns out, I had several issues with the transmitter. It took both Hubsan and I to fix. I sold it a month or so ago. I own a DJI Mavic. Personally, I'd save your money for a DJI Spark if video is your primary goal.. Good Luck..
Since you've basicly done all the models by Hubsan could you also do the H301S FPV Plane? Great plane
Wow,. this is awesome! And a good price... Nice video! Pretty nice to watch. Have to laugh when you was walking in the desert... :-) LOL. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, are you able to see where the quadcopter is flying (real time) right from the top of the controller & how many feet can it clime to, I'm sure the height you were at in the video wasn't its max height?
On the note of it being safe;
This quad is equipped with an emergency shutdown feature.
If the props strike something, such as an obstacle or, well, you, and the drone can't restart them for more than a moment, it'll lock the motors and shut down on the spot.
It will also shut down if a motor does not start properly during the unlock spool-up. (Which can be a bother if you're trying to fly on a worn-out motor because your spares haven't arrived yet.)
Thanks for the info
cool....this will be my next drone. these are so fun.. especially the return to home feature. you loose the ones that dont rth and suddenly the neighbors havent sren where it landed... lol. very well priced for $200.
There is a jst connector inside battery box,you can use spare battery from drone push it into battery box,then to left,then plug it in,it will last a lot longer regular batteries
How come everyone that does a "full review" never test out the FPV, how far does it go before it cuts out, after this i knw no details about the performance of the FPV,
Great Review ;)
Wow that drone is so stable.
thnx for pointing this out. looks close to what I need..
It does seem a bit funny having 'follow me' on drones that only run for a few minutes though, follow me to end of the road til i need to change batteries? :)
Follow me down this hill on skis/board/bike; a few minutes is definitely interesting.
I guess, tho if im downhilling I dont wanna push my bike back up the mountain to collect the dead drone :)
This is true, but to make any video when you operate your own camera you will always have to go back many times pick up the camera after you've got the few seconds you actually need. It can all be edited afterwards to include the most exiting clips.
thx for the vid...
Look like an amazing quad for the money, but I think to calibrate the compass properly you're suppose to just turn the aircraft, not spin in a big circle, that is a good why of having an accidental flyaway or failure to return to the proper Home Point if you lose connection with the controller. Also taking off before you have the correct amount of satellites will not set a proper Home Point and would defiantly cause it to Not return to home point.
Challenge for you lol... Practice some camera fly bys.
Chose an object, and fly past in a straight line, but you have to keep the object on screen as you do so lol...
It's doable in headless mode ;-)....
I will be giving it a go myself, as soon as my H502 is delivered....
damn, for this price this thing is amazing!
Have watch your videos and would like your recomendation of a low cost GPS Quad.
Many thanks for really good and understandable video, have already ordered one of these. One question, do you need to calibrate the compass giros before every flight
Yes, each time that you change the battery the drone will go into compass calibration mode automatically.
Hello brother!
I am also planning to buy this drone so can you please tell me that is this drone durable? I mean I heared that it's motors stop working after a while so I want to know your experience.
I just picked up this quad thanks in large part to this video. Its great. One thing Im concerned about is follow me. When I tried it, instead of the camera facing me it turned away. My thought is a compass calibration error. What are your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Love the channel!
I have owned a couple of non gps drones and lost them. I really hope I will have better luck 🤞.
Cool review ! do you think I can attach (with tape) my own Yi 4K+ camera? (70g)
Thank you!
Just bought mine using your link above - thanks for the review.
BangGood shipped the H502S with a defective battery and refused to negotiate a reasonable solution. PayPal only offered a complete refund requiring me to PREPAY shipping of the defective product back to BangGood - which is not a reasonable solution. I will no longer purchase from BangGood.
Did you ever learn how to run your little quad, (the Hubson 502S)? and did it hold up to use?
I am quite a beginner. Is it stable? And can you fly it easily indoor? Thank you for your great video.
I wish I could show you all that lock tight on the screws ,and I had several.people tell me two of the prop screws are counter clock wise ,there is a silver set of and a black set of screws ,I can't remember ,which screw goes counter clock wise ,on my 502 E at first I tried the screws all clock wise that didn't work ,hubsan sent me another set that were hard to turn ,I got two in clock wise and two in counter clock wise ,I hope I didn't screw up anything
Which do you think is better? This one or h216a?
Have you tried strapping on a Firefly Q6 to this quad? This would make a good poor mans 4k camera platform since it’s gps and FPV. But I’m worried the brushed motors won’t handle the payload.
So have they fixed the problem yet with the brushed motors burning out on the newer model ?
Cheers for Australia : )
nice watch..what watch is that you're wearing?
Can u maybe do a video on a dji phantom 3 standard with the litchi app ? I heard that it extends the abilities of the drone
I was looking to buy this, but the framerate from the camera looks horrible. Thanks for the review.
ive checked and see no loose connections which leads me to think its my board but other 3 motors arm and spin could it be the board by the way love your reviews you very much helped in my decision to purchase the 502s i dont blame the quad
GODMOTHERLIMO1 brushed motors wear out after an ammount of use
Thanks for all your videos, I only started flying quads in September 2017, I have seen several reviews of the 502s & e that have had problems with the camera focus, did you need to adjust that on any of yours, thanks in advance Edgar
No mine was fine out of the box.
@@Quadcopter101 Hello brother!
I am also planning to buy this drone so can you please tell me that is this drone durable? I mean I heared that it's motors stop working after a while so I want to know your experience.
Hello
i am looking to purchase my first drone. i was, sorry am looking at the hubsan 501s, do you recommend thus quad, for the camera, how to fly etc. does this have a sd slot.
love you channel by the way.
ian
Which frequency band does it transmit? Can i use my fpv goggles with it?
Hello quadcopter 101, thank you for the reviews, they are a real help when purchasing drones. I purchased this one and the z201ys (for inside practice), based on your reviews and they both work well. I have one question regarding the h502s. For my purpose of photogrammetry it would be very useful to record the telemetry, especially the GPS coordinates. Would you, or anyone else reading, know how to store this the easiest way? Thank you.
No one who knows if it is possible to record the telemetry data on H502s somehow?
Gerrits is
yeah
yes

I just received my 502,, my came with the props attached, I wanted to install the prob guards buy 1 screw was to tight to removed, I decided to leave them off,, I lost 3 screws trying to re-install the blades,, so far I'm having bad luck,, if I can get the screws in I think it will be ok, except the 1 screw that is to tight to un-screw. Thanks for you video
Make sure to install the propellers on the correct motors. There are two counter clockwise shaped propellers, and two clockwise shaped propellers that must be installed on corresponding CW and CCW motors. If one is installed on a wrong turning motor the drone will not lift off. If confused, take a close look at the following picture, paying attention to the two different shapes of propellers and which motors that they're installed to. Make yours match the picture i0.wp.com/www.rcdronearena.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Hubsan-502-E_result.png
Thanks I just removed 1 prop and trying to re-install it to the motor, but having a hell of a time fitting screw into the hole,,, thanks for the info
Take a very close look at the bottom of the propeller near the shaft. Notice the tiny "i" printed there. Make sure that the "i" lines up with the flat portion of the shaft. If not, the propeller will not slide down all the way on the shaft to allow you to use the screw.
Hey thanks for the info,, I will do,,, I put the drone away for a couple days so I don't get frustrated,, batteries are charged all I have to do is install the last prop,,,thanks to all!
Excellent review as always. New to drone flying so had no idea what to look for but features versus cost & availability of spare batteries etc looks like this will be my choice after viewing all of your reviews including the non FPV model E and this seems a good entry flyer to see if I take to the hobby without spending a fortune & then finding out its not for me!. How does this unit compare with others in terms of the noise it makes when flying? Would you say it is loud, quiet or average? I live in a small quiet village community which already has 3 flyers who use the much bigger £1000 plus models and there has already been a few not very complimentary comments from neighbours. I am hoping a smaller toy grade unit will be less noisy to fly over the local common land which means I wont be flying over other peoples property.
No worries. This small drone won't cause anyone to complain about the noise.
Thank you. Order placed & i will be taking your advice from your excellent reviews as I progress. Best reviews and advice on CZcams. THANK YOU.
With that in mind, here are some tips that are applicable for the H502S. Also recommend reading the comments section of the following video for additional tips from owners czcams.com/video/zgVcNc05RUc/video.html
With these drones do you have to be in line of sight of the drone for the controller to control the drone...
Quadcopter 101 what is your favorite quad
Why don't they take off with just gyros, accelerometers, and barometer, and then do a few flips and rotations to calibrate the compass automatically?
Can you add external antennas and paddle antennas to the transmitter?
have you tried turning of transmitter to see if it would return home?
Hi, I think I am right in remembering you have a run cam on your hat? also how do you record sound, do you use the run cam or separate audio, because it is very good. Even sometimes when you have a breeze. I am considering getting the run cam v2?
Actually I use a Mobius camera on my cap. Have done close to 700 CZcams videos with it, and it's still going strong www.banggood.com/Mobius-Full-HD-Sports-Camera-1080P-30FPS-720P-60FPS-For-Multirotor-p-90648.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
And I use a Runcam for much of aerial videos. It doesn't have as good a microhone as the Mobius, but its video is pretty good, and it's shielded to prevent RF interference with your quadcopter's receiver www.banggood.com/Runcam-FPV-HD-1080P-Wide-Angle-Mini-Sport-Action-Camera-for-250mm-Frame-Quadcopter-p-1017506.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
Had mine nearly a week before LF motor went bad/ grinding noise. Did everything but LAST. AMAZON return I think it was returned by someone else.
👍Very nice detailed review. Does transmitter has micro card SD reader slot to record flight video and pictures? As you said no option to record video in your review. Thank you.
Only the quadcopter camera slot can record video an pictures.
+Quadcopter 101 Всем привет а есть связь wi-fi на этом коптере,спасибо.
Where is the recorded video stored? (h502s)
wow good info. do you think this is a good next step after my syma x5c?
Yes I do. I'm enjoying the heck out of both this and the H502E. Both of them are QC101 "keepers".
What's the difference between brushed and brushless motors and why are brushed a bad thing.
Also where can you buy spare batteries for this thanks
should I buy 507A or 502S? 507 has some interest points like way-point fly and cheaper than the 502s but it looks that 507 has a short fly range due to the wifi and a shorter fly time. Is that all true?
great
Can it follow you while going backwards?
You made me dizzy. Great video review.
Hi - great review! We are having trouble with the video recording black. We tried a new micro SD and followed your instructions and it's still happening. Have you run across this, or do you have a recommendation to fix?
Card must be no larger than 32GB. Also remember to stop video recording before turning off the drone, or the video file will be corrupted.
Question for You.Will the Hubsan X4 phone app Work with the H502S. I see no H502S drone to pick on the app.
Thank you for your time. P.S. I watched you review on the H502E when you were on vacation up North, and Bought the H502E. It's a great little drone like you said. Great reviews.
Unfortunately the H502S does not use WiFi. It will not work with the X-Hubsan app.
how quick can you go and the follow still follows?
Good video 101,
Now regarding the altitude when in follow me mode, do you know of a drone which will adjust its height as it follows you up or down hill?
Why yes I do czcams.com/video/0vfSmqbepFU/video.html
ah ok,, lol thats a bit expensive for my pocket,, is this the only drone that can do this?
QC101, you Definitely sold me on this. I have enough experience, and would be Very Confident to get a DJI Phantom 4. But this has Some of those cool Features, and like "Most" i can't run right out, and drop $1,400.00 (Dare to Dream) on my Dream Machine, lol ! Can you send me a Link to buy one of these ? And how much would it set me back ? I've had Alot of fun with my X5C's, both flying them, and Fixing them thanks to You. I Still have, and take Great Care of my X8C. Love the long distance, and High altitude capabilities. But I'm Definitely ready for something like this. Which of the 2 would you recommend ??? Thanks as Always for Making my day ....

Thanks for the link, hope you stop by Michigan some day. You need to start making Appearances, would Love to get a Picture with you, and get your Autograph 👍
Slow your compass dance down and it will do it in 2 turns or less usually, atleast my H501s does.
wow love it :D
whoa i didn't expect a follow me drone that low in price, a good bargain (in my opinion)
I watched the new video of the 502E and the video quality looks way better on the E model. :(
Other than the GPS, Is the flying performance of H502s much better if compare with those similar size drone with 5.8ghz FPV and altitude hold such as X5G/509g/CX-32/H8D? Because the price difference is quite big
Range is about 3 times greater than all three. It also has follow me mode. But you're right, it is pricey. The following is a buch better deal IMO, but does notinclude FPV czcams.com/video/0koT2obNZrk/video.html
Can you review a skyviper v2450 GPS please
Will the H501S transmitter work with the H501C or the H502S transmitter work with the H501C????
Can the H502s do airobatics? It seems to have a fail safe that shuts the motors down when it's upside down. Is there any way to disable the fail safe? Great Ch. Regards, Pete
+Peter Winnett sorry no. It's strictly a camera bird and has angle restrictions with no flip capability.
Could this carry a gopro session?
Question..Is there a app that will allow me to connect my camera to my phone so I can use it in my googles? Like how my boscam connects to my 502s
Is it possible to add a FPV transmitter to the H502E. I just bought one and now notice it cannot transmit video to my VR headset. ANyone done something like this?
Range distance flied max in unobstructed area pleae? Nice review
I get close to 300 meters before it loses reception. And when it does lose reception, it stop momentarily trying to regain reception, then starts flying back to you.
nice
Hi Quadcopter. I am a beginner of playing quadcopter. I plan to bring this toy 502s out for hiking with my wife. I saw many people would lose control with their quadcopters even for professional grade like mavic and phantom3.
Do you have any advice on how to avoid losing control of quadcopters?
Also, if I want to get a FPV goggle for this 502s, which brand do u suggest?
Thanks.
Most important thing is to verify that you have sufficient satellites before taking off. I like to wait for 8 or more. Also, always hover for about ten seconds after takeoff before sending it out. You want to verify that the quadcopter is holding its position with no toilet bowl wobbling (circular movement like its being flushed down a toilet). If you notice any unsteadiness, land and redo the compass calibration. And finally, minimize flying at high speed rate. Sometimes at high rate, the quadcopter can get ahead of the GPS being able to keep up with calculating its position. This can cause toilet bowl effect also. If you notice such while flying high speed, slow down or hover to let the GPS catch up.
Can you bind 502s controller with 502e drone?
Video format that the recorded file is in?
Hey 101, do you know if the 502s Will work with all eachine goggles?
Is there a larger battery you can use with this quadcopter to get a longer flight time?
I don't think so because the space is limited.
hi i have a 502s an rear left motor and rear left led not working after crash plz help ive checked for loose connections all appears well you seem very knowledgeable what could i check for what would cause an engine an led to stop working little info drone brand new flown 4 times no problem then while in rth i touched or did somthing an the 502 fell pretty hard on its top an cracked open put back together gets gps an arms but no rear left motor or led any advice you have is greatly appreciated love my 502s and would like it back in the air where it belongs an not on my dresser again thanks for any info and your fellow drone enthusiasts
Broken electrical connection, somewhere between the motor and the flight control board. Likely a broken wire, or a separated solder joint. You (or someone else) is going to need to open it up and find where the broken connection is.
in the url its 150 pounds
how do you set it up with the compass thing and the satalites?
