You made me buy the 4K version of this drone and it arrived today. I am absolutely in love with this drone. Flies beautifully and has a very good camera.
How much weight is this drone able to lift...?
@@adctex id estimated it could probably carry an extra 300g or so. It weighs 620g itself and the motors seem quite powerful. Ive seen people carry small fpv gear ontop so id probably guess anything under 400. The dji mini can carry 80g so maybe this drone could carry around 240-300. I haven't tested it so these are just assumptions
@@vdygdb Thank you....
What is the price on the on the drone?
@@jerrycybulsky6756 when I bought it, it was around £110
Maiden flights today for my Bugs B4W that arrived 18 days earlier than the tracking I was given by the Chinese agent, ordered through Walmart. I was impressed. The darn thing hovers in one exact spot with no drift. Beautiful! I went out to a big baseball field and in no time was doing banked turns etc. Then I sent it up equal to 400 foot and got pretty darn good video and still shots of our Winter wonderland here on the IL/WI Border. Your review combined with a review on another popular channel lead me to this direction and I’m happy.
Great, glad to hear it… Enjoy!
😁👍
Just purchased one. It looks like a winner for a beginner like me. I purchased the 5 dollar license from the FAA. Drones over . 5 lbs to 55 lbs need to be licensed as a small UAS certification for recreation flyers. Thanks for your very good video, you made up my mind on the purchases.
Great, enjoy! Thanks. 👍
this is nice! full explanations of the features
Thank you very much.
Thank you 👍
I love your videos u make everything really clear
Very informative and answers many questions. But foremost I love his lawyer shirt with the white cuffs.
Thank you 😁👍
First video of yours I’ve watched and you could be one of the directors of the Bugs company the way you easily flowed through that review.
Apart from the jelo affect the video quality is amazing. That can be fixed in post editing so I’m not concerned with that. Please tell me that haven’t colour corrected this. Also I can see slight angles in the horizon but all and all it’s pretty straight.
What an amazing drone.
I had the mavic when it first came out and it flew awesome and had amazing footage apart from it connects being very suspect, phantom pro has dramas with battery. I’m over DJI and have been for a while, they refuse to take responsibility for their craft problems.
So good this brand has come along and filled a void that was dominated by a incumbent. I can’t wait to get this drone it’s epic.
Great review! Sorry awesome review!
Thank you! ;)
No color corrections made...
Great looking drone 😁👍🏼... Gonna be the star in toy grade drones
Yes, although I think the specs on this drone have it at more of a hobby grade… Most importantly, this is the star of the budget friendly drones…
Getting one and saved this very informative better than “user manual” video. Thanks
Thanks, enjoy! ;)
Wow.....I am impressed.
I actually found the video quality to be surprisingly good?
Think I will go to eBay and have a look?
Thank you for a great video!
Thanks you! It certainly has good video quality...
Excellent review and nice flight demonstration. Helped make my decision to buy one, which will hopefully arrive tomorrow. Could probably fly it without reading the manual after your comprehensive run through!
Thanks, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it a lot! Let me know if you have any questions... Happy flying! :)
Thanks for the great video. You provided excellent information at a nice pace. (subscribed)
Thank you! 😁👍
Great review thanx, I just got mine, III thought I read somewhere that you can download something to get audio ?? Is that possible?
Great review, I have now ordered one, perfect for filming my exploring adventures. Al
Great, thanks! 😁👍
Post your adventures
@@fuupdaass275 got check my channel. Al
Just ordered one of these and doing some background research...GREAT video and much appreciated...Thanks! Couple of questions...When you are flying up and down the road (at incredible speed, couldn't believe it!) is that using FPV on the phone or are you in headless mode just pushing forward and back on the stick? I see you answered to someone else that the wifi range was 2-300 metres so does that mean when you sent it out over the area (at least 1 km) you were flying blind and just used the RTH to get it back? And finally,; are there alligators in those lakes?? Don't think I'd like to live there if so! Thanks again for a top video!
Looks as good as my sjrc f11. Nice drone and flight sir👍
Thanks Dougie! ;)
Hi what type of cellphone/model are you using . My cellphone doesn't seem to connect for live feed. Samsung S9 tried my partner s7 not connecting to the bugs go app.
Any help would be appreciated
Sheesh I wouldn't be flying it that low as quick as you are lol. Can't wait for it to come in tomorrow!
Thanks, enjoy! 😉
I just got my Bugs 4w 4k. Had the first flight in a tiny back garden I had it a foot off the ground. But as I pulled down on the Left stick to land it, it wouldn't land and I panicked and it crashed. It's fine but the props would not stop spinning. How do you land it and stop the props please.? I will be taking it to a huge grass field when the weather is better here in the UK and before I fly it out I need to know how to land it and disarm the props. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Cuantos kilómetros por hora Logró alcanzar?
nice review and drone but too much fisheye how to fix it?
Great informative video.Thank you! ....How long does the battery last , 20 mins or so?
and how long does it take to charge?
Thanks, that’s correct about 20 minutes and it takes about 2 to 3 hours to fully charge it…
Could have sworn I saw a video with audio threw the drone, you actually herd the motors, is that possible with this drone
Hello excellent video I have a question it shots in 2k at 20 frames per second only it doesn't shoot in 1080
It can shoot at 1080p, the resolution can be adjusted within the settings (as shown at 17:43 in the video)...
I pulled the trigger and bought one. I'm interested to see how well I can fly this puppy!
How much weight is this drone able to lift...?
I've got both batteries charging with two cables attached to the charger. The green lights keep flashing ... when do you know that the batteries are fully charged? The booklet is no help.
Sir the camera of that drone is rotatable
Hello, I downloaded the application MJX Bugs 4W Review
but for some reason there are no options - "Camera tings" to adjust the video quality.
I just ve got one this week...it s an excellent drone!!
How much weight is this drone able to lift...? I want to use it for fishing...
@@adctex 250 grms i think...
Which one has better camera x11 or f11 pro thanks God bless
Very good review with all the info I would want to make a choice of whether to buy one or not. I have the Bugs 5w right now and plan to get either one of these or spend a little more and get the DJI spark ? Thanks !
Thanks. If you are looking for the best, most stable camera quality, then the Spark is better, but if looking for an inexpensive, fun, & long-flying drone to fly for beginners (and camera is not the highest priority), then this one is great...
Very nice flight buddy
Thanks
Nice review, however, the question I have is whether this drone can be flown indoors without GPS enabled? Regards
Thanks, yes it can as it has optical flow positioning and ultrasonic sensors (to keep it steady) while disabling the GPS on the side of the controller (as shown at 12:05 in the video)...
Did you put a nintendo charger in it?
Great review looks very stable plus it looks like it has great range .
Yes, it is and it does...
It’s great to see these drone companies stepping up the game and bring out some good affordable camera drones. Camera quality is getting better which is always a good thing 😎😉
yep
Informitve video, I have the Potensic D88 it's exactly the same.
Thanks, yep there are a few rebrands on the market...
Had my first flight today… first drone….. lot's to think about but I'm getting there. Just two question pop up….. do you need to do
gyro calibration before every flight ?? Manual is a bit shaky at that point….. and what is the best camera setting for the best result ?
Can' t find any info about the settings in the app…. just wondering. Thanks from a starter !
It automatically attempts to calibrate the gyros each time the aircraft is powered on (so make sure that you power it on while it’s still & flat on the ground). I simply showed the way to manually do it if needed. As for the recommended camera settings, the defaults should work fine…
@@rx344 Hi, thanks for that feedback. Second flight yesterday and already better. First flight it was difficult to orientate direction of drone (front or back). Camera setting is still a 'thing'. I made a picture of the settings that I meant, but can't see to place a picture in here…… it's on the app, under 'settings' then followed by the parameter settings, detection, flight data and last; there it is camera settings. choice of 1080p, 2K or 4K but apparently there is not setting to choose ?? If it is…. how ?? Hope you know the answer…..cheers in advance
Glad you are getting the hang of the drone... I see what you mean, the resolution settings don’t seem to allow you to pick a certain one… Maybe it’s a bug that may get resolved in an upcoming update? I know that this drone was designed to specifically shoot in 2K, so I’m not sure why it even offers a 4K option within the app… You can always use another app or program to convert its native 2K output to something else (like say 1080p). Maybe the app is just showing those options because it’s the same app used by other MJX drones that have those resolutions? I’m not quite sure myself…
Great Video ..... i also wanted to ask what Wifi Range you were getting with FPV, and which Phone were you using ? ..... Appreciate all your Reviews !
Thanks, I was using an iPhone 6s and I was getting around 2 to 300 m out in open terrain…
Hello sir.. Very good and inspiring reviews. I believe many out there would buy this drone after their watching this videos. Just 1 question sir, when u flew the drone at 20.29 until 26.00, which speed that ur using on that particular times?
Cheers from Malaysia!!
Excellent video nicely explained
Thank you :)
If this drone had electronic stabilization it would be perfect
Yep
agreed
Yes.
Take out the camera from tello and change it to this drone it will be nice
U mean ultrasonic?
Brilliant review thank you. One question, if you save to the SD card can you transfer from the SD card to a smart device without removing the SD card?
Thanks and yes, I believe the app lets you download the original video files (stored on the SD card) through the app…
rx344 Thanks for the reply. That’s excellent.
Do you recommend any other drones in this price range?
The SJRC F11 Pro is very good and so are the JJRC X9 & X12...
rx344 Thank you, I will check these out. Not looking to spend silly money but just good to see reviews like yours. Thanks again.
Sure, anytime...Thanks!
Nice video. The image quality is pretty descent. Does it have follow me mode or orbit mode?
Thanks! Yes, both...
Nice video very well explained.
Thank you ☺️
Nive Vid, whats the name of the app with this drone, and can you change the high and speed for auto return ?
It’s ‘Bugs Go’ and you can change the overall max height of the drone within the app...
Excellent review,
Great review. I am a newbie and bought standard hubsan h501s drone but it fell from the sky for no reason on full power. I saved again and bought h501s advanced with better controller. Would you say the Bugs 4 is better than the h501s? To be fair I am getting right into my new hobby so would save for a second quad, possibly this one.
Well this has the following features over a Hubsan H501S:
* Foldable
* 2K camera
* Remote tilting camera
* Optical Flow positioning
* Ultra Sonic sensor positioning
* GLONASS
The main thing a Hubsan might have over this is the inclusion of a 5.8 Ghz screen.
Thank you so much for that great reply. I am now going to save for a Bugs 4. I would love to be able to buy one right away, but on a very tight budget due to only one working and supporting my wife and Son, so will definitely save for one. I also take it the GLONASS is that more powerful satellite type system designed by Russia?
Great, goodluck. Yes, GLONASS is the Russian satellite navigation system. Drones that feature both GPS and GLONASS tend to acquire satellite connectivity faster & even indoors when compared to just GPS drones, so the end result is mainly that they are ready for take-off (with return-to-home set) right away, making for a smoother, more seamless flight experience.
How do I purchased the bugs 4 drone
Great video bro!
Thank you 😁👍
Nice video, thank you
Thanks Rebecca! ;)
are you interested i testing Snaptain drone? i am from snaptain.
cracking video well shown and explained
Thanks
Speed like bugs 3?
Helo, again a good cleare revieuw..thank u for that sir..by the way, i have one to..its indeed a very smooth strong great Drone..:)
Great, glad to hear that...Thank you. 😉👍
what kinda range were you getting..?
About a kilometer…
Very good video but the performance of the camera without stabilization takes away from an otherwise excellent presentation.I don’t think any of the MJX lineup has a drone with a gimbal yet.Very informative video on the drone review.
Hopefully they will come out with a drone that either has a gimbal or some form of image stabilization in the near future… Thanks
Yes, but it is not from MJX… It would be nice to see an MJX drone that comes with a gimbal…
Your review is one of the best I've seen, very detailed and helpful, thank you. I've seen several videos that show the RTH function. I have also read a PDF of the manual.... In the videos, the drone ascends when RTH is triggered, weather automatically or by the user, flies back to over the take-off location, and descends, lands, and powers off. Can you tell me what the default altitude is and is it user adjustable? Neither the videos, nor the manual make mention of this !!!! Thanks.
Thanks, what I can tell you is that within the app’s (Bugs Go) settings, you can set the overall maximum altitude of the drone in general (not just for return-to-home). So, for instance, if you set it to 40 m, it will never go past that height at all (during normal flight & return-to-home). Hope this info helps...
Does the controller show how many satellites you have in view?
Yes, it does show the satellite count…
Hi. What version of bugs go app did you use?
The latest one...
How long can you record on the sd card?. Great video.
I can’t say for sure, but this should take a 32 GB microSD card, which should have the capacity to store hours worth of this drone’s video...
does this have a preset return to home height or is it adjustable
Within the settings of the app, you can limit the maximum altitude of the drone (which could affect the return-to-home height), but a specific setting only to adjust the return-to-home height isn’t available…
Would like to buy this one..... where you live what fantastic looking homes and surrounding area
I would guess FL.
Yes, thanks! ;)
Hi, i having an issue with this drone. When distance above 40m, i can turn the drone left or right. But no issue below 40m... Do you having this issue?
I have not experienced this issue, but I know some drones put a cap of 121 m (or about 400 feet) to prevent flying too high and violating regulations…
Excelente gracias
Gracias👍
Do you have to calibrate the MJX Bugs 4W every time you go to fly it.
Yes, the drone enforces a calibration each time before takeoff… Perhaps there is a way to bypass this, but I’m not sure how…
VERY GOOOD
Can wait to get one. I just don't want it to come from outside of the USA
Bugs 4w or JJRC x11..? Anyone know if there's a difference? I know they're basically the same...
i think the diffrence will just be what app you use even though you can probably use either app anyway
nice review! which is better 4w or 5w?
Thanks, although somewhat similar, the 4W is foldable, has a longer flight time (due to a larger battery) and has a 2K camera (when compared to the 5W’s 1080p camera)... so ultimately I’d say the newer 4W...
Hi. Which is better. Bugs 4w? Or bugs 3 pro? Thanks :)
I would still say the Bugs 4W as it is newer, has more features and sensors with a higher resolution camera...
My mobile only supports 2.4g WiFi. Can the drone with 5g work with my phone? And what will happen? Sorry for bad English
You can always fly this drone (even without a phone), but if you do decide to use a phone for live FPV video (of what the drone sees), it will only work if the phone has 5G WiFi...
If this drone had a two axis gimbal, than it should be perfect. Is it possible to mount such gimbal and use that camera or perhaps mount an other small camera?
Maybe something like a OnePaa X2000? But that adds $60. Might just as well get a JJRC X9 or C-Fly Dream or Fimi A3.
@@driewiel Thank you for this. OnePaa X2000 look like a very good camera. But what I first of all is looking for is a micro 2 axis gimbal. It would be perfect if I could mount such a lightweight gimbal on any drone that could carry it + a slightly lightweight camera.
Are there any such small micro gimbal that can be controlled from the controller? But it may not be necessary to control gimbal, it may well be if the solitary stabilizes video well.
Mounting a mechanical gimbal on this drone would be a challenge (unless you put a DJI Osmo Pocket underneath it)… The best bet is to get a compact camera with very good EIS image stabilization and strap it underneath...
@@rx344 Can you recomend any camera as can be able to give a stable good video? It must be able to see the video on a screen on the handcontrol.
Well a GoPro Hero 7 or DJI Osmo Action will do... A cheaper alternative is maybe something like the latest Eken 4K action cam...
Does it do a higher frame rate in 1080p?
It always has the same frame rate (regardless of the resolution)…
Yo I've a question can u plz a comparison of the mjx bugs 4w and the mjx x103
Interesting... I’ll look into trying that... Thanks ;)
Np thanks for replying
The bugs 4w is brushless the other is not
Jason Currie thx
The 103 is around 12" when unfolded the 4w is around 18 when unfolded. Bugs weighs 630 grams, 103 weighs 249 grams. Bugs has brushless motors, the 103 has brushed. Bugs has optical sensors, 103 don't
Very cool.
Yeah 👍
Which do you prefer bugs 4w or jjrc x9?
That’s a tough one...they are both good drones...I guess as an aircraft, the B4W, but as a camera, the X9 (because it has a stabilized gimbal). So one flies better & is better in the air, while the other is better for video recording...
How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
2 ~ 3 hr charge time per battery...
Hello, max payload for the bugs 4w ?? Thanks
I haven’t fully tested that out yet, but it does have powerful brushless motors so I’m sure I could handle a GoPro underneath…
The remote looks like the Mavics remote!
Yes, very similar…
How much better is 2K than 1080P? I don't buy MJX for their cameras I get them because they Fly, So, Well, and their drones know how to RTH....
From what I’ve seen, it seems like the colors ‘pop’ more in 2K… They seem a little brighter and sharper…
Hey thanks for the response. I'm getting that thing in a few months anyway.
Cool
How long does it take to charge one battery?
about a couple of hours
What’s the furthest you ever flew it before the Wi-Fi broke up?
I’d say a few hundred meters (perhaps 300 - 400 m).
This is ideal for drone fishing since it can fly well and not that expensive.
Definitely
Following this thread. I recently purchased an X21 from Bayangtoys for my paranormal group as it'll support our modified GoPro cam for night vision and full spectrum use, but found I need to get a standalone wifi fpv action cam for regular use for it as the stock one sucks the battery life down... That being said I really want to invest in a folding drone in the $300 to $350USD range with a gimbal for personal use and rail fanning. I'm torn between this, the F11 Pro, the X11, the zino, or the c-fly obtain (tho I've seen a ton of mixed reviews, none current however or any revisits with updated firmware), or the fimi x8 se(again mixed reviews). Would love to hear others input.
For higher quality, stabilized footage either the Zino or the Fimi would probably be your best bet... For a more budget-conscious fun quadcopter with good flight times, then the others should do well…
rx344 is the image quality good with the bugs 4? I know bugs are know for stabile images even without a gimbal. I seen horror shows on both the Zeno and the x8SE. I feel like I might want to get the bugs 4 and invest in a better fpv cam for the x-21
Well from 26:04 to the end of this video, I show the raw footage from the B4W quadcopter, so judge for yourself... I personally think the colors & quality is good...
A question I have: It is shockingly similar in appearance to the SJRC F11, but does it have the F11's kind of annoying feature of "Power low, override controls to fly closer to takeoff point"
I like knowing when im low on power, but i do NOT like how it instantly limits itself to a 30m range and trys to fly back to its original location leading to all kinds of havok.
My F11 recently had a fatal malfunction and its being sent back for a refund and i'm now eyeballing this as its replacement.
Another thing: The F11 had a 25 minute battery, while this one lists it as 20
My rule of thumb thus far has been: If it says 25, its 20, if it says 20, its 15, where would this drone fall on this spectrum?
Also do you know if they sell extra batteries? I'm always one for keeping spare parts and having the ability to buy extra bits in the event somthing breaks.
A comment made as well: What is electronic stabilization in terms of drones?
This one will mainly return-to-home if it either loses connection with the remote or is critically low on power, aside from that, it will not do a close range flight phase prior to the return phase... A good thing about this one is that it has out of range and low power alarms (or beeps) on the controller which will indicate when the drone is low on battery or is too far from the remote. As for the 20 minute flight time, it’s actually very accurate, so in worst case, it might be a minute or two short. Lastly, they do sell extra batteries for this and they even have sets that come with the drone along with two batteries...
The electronic stabilization is that the camera internally (or electronically) stabilizes the recorded video footage so that it’s less shaky and bumpy…
Last part of your video with you flying residential was definitely not in Line Of Site! Cool video though
Is this bugs4 have a follow mode?
yes
How nice and fresh does it look where you live😀
Thanks
As another person commented, if it has some sort of decent image stabilization, it would be worth a look. But for about the same money, I'll take the Fimi A3.
Fimi A3 is $100 more expensive. But yes 10x as good.
@@driewiel Plus extra batteries for the Fimi are very expensive.
Thanks for the video, I upvoted! I live in the US, Just bought the mjx bugs 4w and my map won't update, it's blank, how do I get it to work on my bugs go app? Does it work on your phone? (I'm using samsung note 9)
Thanks, I was able to get the maps, but it took a little time… Sometimes it’s a bit slow to load or you may have to pre-load it (while connected to another Internet connection)…
Nice view...
Nice info bro...i want buy this drone
SUPER!!! This is nice :) !!!!!!!!!!
👍
that controller looks like those for DJI mavic and spark!
Yes, it looks very similar to the actual DJI controllers…
Great video. Great flyer but video quality is almost same as bugs before.
Well this one actually shoots in 2K (while the previous ones shot in 1080p), but this video was uploaded in 1080p (so it does not show the full potential of the camera)…
Waow cooool thank you mmmmmm 👍👍👍👍👍
Sure, anytime! 😁👍
It's a good drones. Price also pretty good, think.
Yes
Pretty Cool
👍
Nice master
;)
Great video! I there anyone you know of testing or have estabilshed a range extender or booster for this drone? I would like to extend the capability with it and my ipad or smart phone.
Thanks! I have not tried any range extenders, but I’m sure they should possibly work… This has about a kilometer’s worth of range in optimal conditions…
Well, my Bugs B4W only gets 175m of FPV range, then the screen will lock up and you have to bring it home and reset the app. If you happen to be recording video at the same time you loose FPV feed that wholed footage becomes unuseable.Not impressed with the range of 5.8ghz. I have tried it with iphone 6, Samsung A50, and ipad mini 1st gen. I was hoping the FPV range of the Hubsan Zino was better because it is plugged in to the controler and the tranmisson of 5.8ghz is done through the controler and not just the smart device. Just some of my experiences, and I value your thoughts or anyone elses.
Thanks for sharing this information, I’ll ask around and check and will pass along any useful data I come across…
Cool
Yeah
Which is better bugs 3 pro? Or bugs 4w? Tnx 🙂
I would say the Bugs 4W as it is newer, has more features and sensors with a higher resolution camera...
This drone is damn near perfect with if they put in a smart battery and a better camera this would possibly be the biggest competitor to dji but regardless of those 2 features id buy 1 anyways
Yeah, it’s good...
