  • Yesterday, I posted a RARE unboxing video on the channel - • WHAT'S IN THE BOX??? 😲 - The purpose of that video was to document my concerns that the box for the Eachine EX4 had previously been opened. It's not uncommon however for sponsors to send REVIEWERS repaired or returned units FOR REVIEW, so, I wasn't too disappointed since I didn't buy it. BUT you'd think they would want to send only the BEST units to the guys that you're relying on to help promote the product, right(?)!!! -djsoulforce!!!
    👉👓I'm looking forward to getting a replacement unit to review, I think this drone has great potential, but only if all of the features work. It's packed with features and the PRICE IS pretty GOOD. Check it out here: www.banggood.com/custlink/G33...
    I'll update you guys on how this turns out. PLEASE Be sure to watch yesterday's video where I unboxed this bird and had one of those "......hummmmm! (that box looks beat up, get the camera!) moments, lol 🤣!!! -djsoulforce!
    THANKS FOR WATCHING GUYS!!!

    I really hope they send me a replacement for review. I was soooo LOOKING FORWARD to reviewing this bird. I love reviewing drones that hit the market like a wrecking ball, packed with features, perform well and the cost is almost irresistible. I love being the guy to show (and prove) to YOU GUYS how great a bird is for the price. SORRY, we'll have to wait on that. I don't plan on doing any flight test until I resolve the issue with the gimbal. "They all fly, I want to see what the video looks like!" -djsoulforce!!!

      Thanks Greg for the feedback, and for the continued support. I do what I do because I was never interested in getting into the 'review game' it was the stores like GearBest & Banggood that asked me to review their products. I'd hope they wanted honest reviews, not reviewers to help sell drones!!! I'll keep you guys updated, I was looking forward to reviewing this one!!!

  • @billsomrak
    @billsomrak Před 4 lety +1

    Well, so much for getting back together with Bang-You-Good. Personally, I had so many problems with orders from them that I TOTALLY GAVE UP on them long ago. If the product wasn't broken on arrival, then it was the WRONG PRODUCT (like sending me a FlySky version of a control board, instead of the FrSky version I'd ordered and paid for). Of course, anytime THEY screw up, they make YOU produce a documentary video and upload it to Box.net or Dropbox so that they can be sure you aren't scamming them! So much for good customer relations. BTW, the ONLY Chinese Retailer that I've ever had ANY good customer service from was HobbyKing ... but I've stopped buying stuff from them, because so much of what they sent failed shortly after I got it (can you say 'Junk' ???). I think you should just give up on BG, GW, etc. and continue to deal with manufacturer's direct (like Holy Stone) or get stuff from Amazon or EBay, where you do have recourse in case you receive a P.O.S. With all that's going on in China right now, don't expect any quick response to this video from BG. Oh well, maybe the RC car they sent you will work. Good luck Brofessor! Cheers!

    • @DJSOULFORCE
      @DJSOULFORCE  Před 4 lety

      As you may have sensed, I could care less if they or GearWorst ever send me another product to review. (Actually, I think GearWorst has cut me off a long time ago!) I never once asked either of them if I could receive a product for review, it's always been the other way around. Oh well, we'll see how this turns out. No reply yet, my rep is still on her holiday.

    That sucks DJ. Looks like you indeed got sent a return. I had one person comment on one of my videos as well that their gimbal was broken and they were trying to get it replaced. I gifted mine to my dad for Xmas. Yeah, the app is called Enjoy-Fly but it mysteriously disappeared from the Play Store. As you found out you can just use the C-Fly app instead or the JJRC. I did include a download link to the app's APK from my Google Drive in my videos. Hope they send you another one! John just got his and it works fine.

    • @RDsRCReviews
      @RDsRCReviews Před 4 lety

      The person had the JJRC X12 version from Geekbuying though. Had nothing to do with BG but exact same drone that had a defective gimbal.

    • @DJSOULFORCE
      @DJSOULFORCE  Před 4 lety +1

      After spending a few hours doing research, I did find a link to download the Enjoy-Fly app, and my phone told me I already had it... it was the C-Fly app. Go figure!!! I think the previous owner of this drone probably turned the drone on without first extending the landing gear, which you know would put the camera on the ground constricting it's auto calibration. The gimbal's motors don't seem to be that powerful and can easily be burned out!!!

    Eachine EX4 - JJRC X12 - C-Fly Faith
    I fought with this drone for 2 to 3 days determined to find the trick to
    calibrating it and I was ready to give up then I tried this and it
    WORKED for me over and over again so listen up and try this. 1: First
    Press the button on the back of the drone to turn it on. you now have a
    BLUE flashing light on the drone this is telling you it is trying to
    connect to the controller so turn the controller on and when it is
    connected the light on the drone will turn GREEN and it will be flashing
    NOW connect the phone to your controller. now on the phone, it should say in preparation, but your NOT ready to do the calibration
    yet, what until the light on the drone goes GREEN and is NOT flashing now on your phone, it should say READY-GO BUT It's NOT READY. NOW it's ready for the calibration
    because you have enough satellite lights only when the light goes green
    and not flashing. The lights on the controller are ONLY telling you what mode you're controller is in and NOT that you are connected to anything some people thought that. NOW this is what I MUST DO to get the
    dam thing to calibrate, the horizontal works fine every time BUT I
    could NOT get the vertical to work it would say it was a success but it was NOT. the drone was still in calibration mode. On the drone, it has a
    RED/GREEN light flashing which is vertical calibration mode. SO what to do? well, this works for me 7 out 10 times instead of never working at all. When you do the calibrate first off some apps say calibrating in
    blue on the phone when you see that it ISN'T tap the blue calibrating
    Button again until you see it say TURN THE DRONE the light on the drone will start flashing from green to red/blue I have seen some people try to calibrate it when it was NOT ready to do so. NOW when it says turn the
    drone horizontally do it about 3 times the light on the drone turn to
    RED/GREEN the horizontal calibration
    is dun and NOW the trick that works about 7 out of 10 times for me WHEN
    it tells you to put the camera up and turn it watch your phone and PUT
    the camera DOWN give it a quick half-turn then do it again if you don't see your phone then tell you to turn it again do another half turn but if you do see on your phone turn it again flip the Drone camera up
    words and then turn it two or three times. This almost works every time for me and it's the ONLY way I can get it to calibrate. It's Still JUNK

Banggood love to send out the returns to reviewers, they hope that the reviewer can get the product working. Hoping that the Consumer made a mistake and didn’t know how to work the product. But nine out of 10 times it’s just a bad product or it’s been crashed and returned. banggood is trying to save money and pay nothing for advertising, by sending returns to reviewers.

      I flew my EX4 today for the 1st time and I also noticed the time it takes to stabilise itself while hovering, and the lengthy satellite aquisition. On the 1st attempt it "toilet bowled " for a good while, however on the subsequent flights it was stable. I am not an experienced flyer(I bought the EX4 to practice before risking my Mavic 2 Pro) but I noticed that the controller gimbals are not precise. Indeed it very easy to induce another motion of the drone while thinking to send it in a straight line. For example pushing the right stick forward(without looking at the gimbal) will send the drone to the left or the right as well. Of course it could simply be my inexperience.

    • @DroneSyndrome
      @DroneSyndrome Před 4 lety

      Michel Monney When you motion the right joystick forward it should move straight forward and not move left or right. If you move the right stick left-it will tilt left. If you move it right-it will tilt right. Now, if you move the right joystick between the up and right position- it will move forward while also tilting right at the same time.
      Toilet bowl seems to happen when it hasn’t locked in a good GPS position or both ultra sonic sensor and optical flow lens are trying to recognize the terrain below in order to keep it stable. But a lot of the time, the reason it toilet bowls is because there is heavy magnetic interference nearby or a high saturation of WiFi signals all over the place which cause the drone to act erratically. It’s best to fly it in an open area free from homes, radio towers, power lines, etc.

    • @Cervin_Suisse
      @Cervin_Suisse Před 4 lety +1

      @@DroneSyndrome Yes Sir I am very well aware of that. I made this comment because applying the same gimbal input on my Mavic Pro 2 will produce the expected motion. If I push the stick forward it will move in a straight line. That means somehow the tracking(mechanical balancing?) is way different.

      I think it's still a good drone. It's a shame that the sponsor sent me one that doesn't work!!! There are other reviews on CZcams where the EX4 performed very well. Thanks for the feedback buddy!!!

    Hello Sir, I don't know whether you got your gimbal issue resolved in the meantime(I didn't have the patience to go thru al the comment :-0). I got my EX4 a few days ago, the box was beaten up as well and the gimbal ill behaved in the same manner.The reason why the amplitude of the roll axis was smaller on the right(facing the camera)was because it rubbed on the bottom part of the housing. As there was no pan movement during the calibration I looked closely at the gimbal assembly. I realised that the bottom of the bracket mounted on the pan motor(located at the top in the cavity) didn't appear to be straight, causing the roll motor to be tucked inside the bottom lip of the gimbal cavity, thus blocking the pan movement as well. I carefully inserted a blade between the roll axis motor and the lip of the housing, exerted a gentle upward pressure and the entire assembly popped right out into place. I too could not pan down the camera, whether I tried thru the left wheel on the controller or the cursor of the app. This function was inoperative because the gimbal initialisation had failed. I feared that with all the beating the mechanism had taken it would be damaged. Especially concerned about the overcurrent from the jammed pan motor, however I flew it today again after repairing it and all seems to be working properly. Feel free to include that in your review, if you didn't give up on it already. the way Bangood packs this drone, coupled with the absence of gimbal shipping bracket, will for sure make for many JOA(Jammed On Arrival- :-)) gimbals. Sending it back for repair or replacement would be frustrating and costly. I hereby confirmed that the C-Fly is the app to use, I heard that the Enjoy-fly was not coming back.
    My apologies for the lengthy and probably confusing explanations.
    Kind regards
    Michael/Switzerland

      @@DJSOULFORCE Today I took some videos to see whether the camera gimbal suffered some damage or not. There is jello, too much fo my taste but now is it not functioning normally or is it as good as it gets with this drone ? There are several reviewers who mentioned the lack of stabilisation of this camera. Some point out the very low dampening(two small rubber pads) of the camera mount, others say the source of the vibrations could come from the inexpensive & improperly balanced propellers. Personally I can only compare the video quality with that of the Mavic Pro 2. Which obviously is non sense. I was not impressed by the quality of the pictures either. I am looking forward to hearing your opinion as you have evaluated other machines.

    Hi, just seen your video. Not sure if this would fix the issue. After turning on the drone and gimbal calibrates you have to next join your controller to the drone via WiFi in the settings. Then bind the controller via the Enjoy Fly app. Then the gimbal should work and tilt using the controller. However mine just calved. Flies nice decent video at 1080p not 4K. 4K is for photos only. A motor on mine just stopped mid flight causing it to flip over and smash into the ground.
