I paid about $148.00 USD but I bought the "FLY MORE" package as it's called and boy am I glad I did. For what it is andbwhat I need it for right now holy cow what an impressive little quad. If you're looking for a "TRAINER/BEGGINER" photographic and cinematic drone this is definitely a great option! Captain thank you for your content, honesty, and encouragement! You're amazing and you're just one of the few co tent creators in the hobby that keeps me pushing on with my drone hobby! So to that I say thank you and I look forward to more content from you!
This is a very good "starter" drone. If you're new to drones and flying, you can buy this one and learn the basics for a decent price. When you're ready to start recording, buy a drone that's good for it. Also this one has a long flight time, which helps.
I just got one of these and I tell you for the price you can’t beat it....it’s impressive it’s not DJI Mavic mini but it’s by far the best entry-level drone
After watching several YT vids, I finally broke down and bought the Mavic Mini ... and nearly lost it 3 times largely due it not having front or back sensors. And while $460, in the grand scheme of things, isn't a lot of money, losing it to a tree would have been down right painful. So with the 15% Best Buy "restocking" fee (about $75) in mind, I reluctantly returned it. I then purchased this one from Banggood. At checkout, it said to expect it by September 22nd, but it arrived within a week and a half. A nice surprise. It sure looks like a Mini - and from afar, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. But after flying the DJI, this is like going ten steps backward. It is so unstable even with the slightest breeze -- and even with no breeze -- like inside -- it cannot even hover on one spot. I have to constantly do inputs just to keep it from drifting. And the effort to return it -- which I'm sure they're banking on -- it's just not worth to go through all that effort to return it, in my opinion, of course. While I love Captain Drone's reviews -- especially when he's attired in a t-shirt and shorts :) -- there's should always be trepidation to purchase anything when the person doing the recommendation is receiving a commission of sorts -- even at low price points. No malice or disrespect intended CD. And keep in mind folks, this is not a toy. It can cause serious injury in the wrong hands -- especially this one. Anyways, I would NOT recommend it. If you're bent on getting one this size, save up or "bite the bullet" or just get one if $400, plus, is a breeze and get the Mini -- or one in a similar price bracket. It's worth the $. For me, however, the Air is the only logical next step.
@@gimpman1357 Same here, I got my EX5 among the first ones and I've not yet got Android App to work. Yes, it works for few minutes, then it crashes (on 5 different phones) and you need to shut down the quad to get it to work again. I didn't expect much from the camera, but video and photo quality looks like 512x384 with 8x8 boxes in it. But not being able to record anything (crash makes you to loose your video) or even being able to see the video coming from the quad, you end up flying line of sight. And there are far better and cheaper drones you can use for that.
@@gimpman1357 I have far better FPV drone in my hands, Eachine EX2mini, though I wasn't able to get FPV version of it. But it flies much better than EX5 and it actually has a good controller. For 32€ it was a bargain!
Why don't these companies add a 3 axis gimbal to compete with the Mini more directly? I would imagine they could still price the drone well below DJI prices. Also, great review as always.
I would be more concerned about the lack of SD card support, that most these companies seem to do with these cheaper drones. 3 axis gimbal is asking allot for a budget drone. while an SD card is within a reasonable expectation.
This is a pretty good quad for the buck. It has brushless motors AND optical flow sensor for all sake!! All other mini clones fall short next to this one. Now if they would have added just even a simple two-axis gimbal on this drone- it would be a done deal for me. I think Eachine did a great job with this one. And you as well with the video of course. Have a blessed weekend Captain! ❤️👍🏻
Great to see Captain you are still able to review new Drones as a number of other reviewers have been very quiet !!! regardless, have ordered the Drone and look forward to testing it !!!!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 A week or 2 ago, I went out to our local radio controlled air field. There was a drone out them from Autel, alone with 1 of their members (Jon McBride). They were testing some new software or upgraded software. This was a good sized drone. Altitude is 22,000 feet; Range is 18 miles; Cruising Speed is 40mph and I think he said it could fly for 2 hours.
After looking at this on the banggood sight, it looks like this would be a fun, fun hobby drone @ $112usd. I'd use it to fly and never worry with recording anything.
My pops and I have watched so many of your videos, and we thank you for all of your knowledge with drones! Started with f11 pro a few months back graduating to Mavic mini! We love you captain drone lol
Hi Capt, how's it goin.... I need your advice, may u give me idea of what to choose among xiaomi fimi x8 se 2020 or hubsan zino 2 or dji mavic mini or parrot anafi?please I need ur advise sir, may God bless you and your family as well 🥰😀😁
I also purchased a budget drone . The RUKO F11 . just to learn to fly and the company asked me to review the U11 as well . About the same low cost drones
on the 220 m to the 1000m which would be better to fly around my house is the 1000 m better control and the 2.4 vs 5 wifi? Pro amd cons if you would please. Thank you
Not having an SD card is a downer. Filming at 4K directly to your phone is going to eat up your battery storage space and your battery. I think its perfect for photography but not as much for video unless you’re only using it for FPV screen orientation, then it’s fine. Again for the price compared to an actual mini, you can fly it and have fun with it which the hobby is all about.
Can you please help. Just purchased this Drone. I like it very much. But I have problems with video recording. Only the down ward camera is recording to the phone memory, the main camera transmits video clips but does not record to the phone. only pictures from the main camera are stored on the phone memory. I had purchased Android 11 phone with 8 GB and 125 Gb internal memory and HELIO 60 PROCESOR hoping this will solve the problem. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Hello Captain drone you said has a range of almost a mile which is fine my ear machine s520 had a nice range to it but it would only go so high my question to you is how high will the ex5 go please let me know I'm very interested in purchasing one of these but they never let you know how high it will go thank you very much
Lost mi drone today... Make shure your GPS on APK is set to (Take off only when GPS signal is well) for some reason i've lost signal and Drone go up until i can't see it, Lost completely control of it. 2- thing to check: GPS signal , and Battery full charge.
Primeiramente me desculpe não comentar em inglês, adorei seu vídeo foi muito explicativo mesmo sendo em outra língua. Comprei o meu ex 5 estou ansioso para que chegue logo , vai ser o meu 1° drone e certamente o dji mavic mini vai ser o 2°. Sucesso para seu canal.
Okay look I have many drones I want to get but do I need a 4K phone for this drone because I have an iPhone 7 and I don’t know if the quality will still be the same ?!?
Another great video Cap'n! I'm currently flying the Eachine E511s as my starter drone while I save up for a Mavic Mini. If this one had been on the market when I got the E511s, I would have definitely opted for this for the flight time alone, but now that I've discovered how much I love this hobby, it's Mini or nothing. Happy flying!

What is the cheapest drone i can buy for surf fishing(from the beach)? I would assume the bigger factor drone is better? Load is most important(most bait and sinker(the weight to prevent fishing line from moving around) is around 250g, secondary is wind stability and , Last is range (200-500m)
Killer vids thank you. I have the bugs7 coming from banggood but wondered which you thought was the better buy, bugs 7 or the ex5? I had watched your review and a bunch of others saying it was a very good drone but I know bigger and better is always coming! Thank you.
Hey Captain Drone, thanks for ALL your videos man!! Had to come back to this video because my EX5 will be finally be arriving shortly from Banggood, to Montreal... this will be my first drone, waited so anxiously.. Every time you praised this little drone I was like :D, and every complaint :(. So yeah this brings me to my question, is it possible in any way to attach an insta360 Go to this particular drone? Ex5. 229g + 17g = no problem in weight department......
I'm trying to find a drone this size that way I don't have to go to the trouble of registering it but I don't want to spend a bunch of money or have a shaky camera and picture experience any recommendations?
Steve, nice review. Thank you. You could see the video shake when you were standing still in the beginning (Just after take off). Would be nice if it had at least a 2 axis gimbal. Don't understand how a micro SD card slot would add a lot of cost to the drone. Nice price for the at $99.99 for 1 battery and $129.99 for 2 batteries (on 12-17-2021), along with shipping from the USA.
Captain Drone, I’m really impress on how you explain the product. I’m a big fun!!! Because of you I’d like to try to fly a drone. Would you recommend a drone that cost really cheap. I like to practice first without the fear of breaking or losing it. I appreciate your advice. Stay safe.
Hi would you recommend the bugs with the 4k camera you recently posted over this? Or would you say they are about the same quality. The bugs drone with the non foldable arms and legs
So I see you are in Ottawa. Do you have any issues launching from sports fields or parks? I am in Kingston and just got my mavic mini. My house is in a warning are of a max hight of 60m. Just curious if you had an issue how did you explain it to the police or city?
You would be better off just getting the air 2 . Common misconception that its easier to learn on cheap drones. Exact opposite. If your goal is the air 2 you will waste your money buying these types of drone. And won't get anywhere near the same experience.
@@criminalhaze1 Thought it would be better to crash $100 Drone rather than a $900 drone. I want to get the feel for them, and see what is possible. I currently have a drone from Banggood, but the order was not complete, parts missing (Battery, Spares). So waiting for a refund. I wonder if Captain Drone has that contact!
Thats what im trying to tell you ..these cheaper drones won't give you a feel for how a real drone is . Its a waste of money and time . I found out personally because I felt the same way as you . They are practically not even the same things . You are 100 percent more likely to crash and not even get a feel for what its like to fly with a drone on a cheap one than you ever would be with a quality machine. Just trying to save you some money and aggravation.
It could be interesting to see if you could open up that battery pack and swap what are most likely 2200 mah 18650 cells for higher capacity 3000 mah cells.
@@brixtervillaruel Mavic mini is tricky as the board in the battery detects the cells have been changed and throws an error message when you turn the drone on. Quite a few posts on forums about it. Someone made a new board to fool the drone into thinking it has a normal battery fitted, but you can't buy them.
Tried to get more info from your link. But I gave up. Because it wants me to open up a app. My iPad does not need another one of those. Good review. As always
You just skip the app and can visit Banggood to read the revievs there. Also they have discounts if you install the app and if you are new buyer, you get 20 dollars discount coupon.
Thank you for another entertaining and informative review. I've only been a drone person for about two months and your reviews only feed my addiction further. It's a good addiction though and I really love flying them. At 67 years it's a great hobby and I like talking good pictures and videos. Thanks again from Australia!!
Youngster! :) You've got many years drone flying left. In the UK, the 250gm limit will be biting soon, so this is an interesting drone to me, or I have to pay to get an A2 CofC to continue with my JJRC X11 (680gm)
No idea. Most drones on AMAZON are from small companies that take big name drones and then stamp their names on them. So if you do a search for the drone or company its hard to locate them.
Do you know if the mavic mini propellers fit on the ex5 I thought I heard they do. I ask because all propellers come from a different country and takes forever to get to me and I can get the mavic mini blades sent to me the next day.
Thanks for the review Steve! 👍👍 Is FPV transmission smooth? Does it actually hit 1km range on drone to phone Wifi? And how would you rank it vs MJX Bugs 7?
Nice reviewed . I like it.. all function work much more stable then Heron X9. Video quality o-k-ish but take quite good picture.(what can you expect for a cheap drone) I paid $180 CA +2 battery.One thing I like is that you can fly using controller or phone only that mean you can put her in your pocket you are all set.
Nothing really. You see, once you have a drone follow a motorcycle or ATV, you must then only use quality drones with obstacle avoidance, so the lowest priced one is the MAVIC AIR 2.
Hi Captain, just received the Drone and very impressive for the $ ; one surprising feature however (on the App) is the video Zoom function !!! its actually pretty damn good !! was this enabled on your test Model?............... Cheers....................
Thanks for the great videos. I am considering my first drone purchase. Do you still think the Holystone 720 is still one of the best budget drones? Thanks
If you had to recommend a drone under $500, what would be your best option? I'm looking for something that could take great photos. I was thinking the Mavic Mini only has a 12 MP sensor which really feels like its biggest draw back. While the Hubsan appears to take great photos/video but it doesnt seem as polished of a product as the Mavic. What are your thoughts?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ahhh you do I just tried one with my oho e which doesn't support 4k and it can't record the video can take pictures... But not videos. :(
The answer to such a question is.... Can you run the APP on your computer? Does your computer have 802.11ac? Once you discover those answers, you will have your answer.

Nice price for the at $99.99 for 1 battery and $129.99 for 2 batteries (on 12-17-2021), along with shipping from the USA.
These drones come so close. If they would have just spent the extra $0.11 to put a micro SD card in, this would be a winner.
Why? Even cheap phones have 128gb these days.
Captain Drone, I’m really impress on how you explain the product. I’m a big fun!!! Because of you I’d like to try to fly a drone. Would you recommend a drone that cost really cheap. I like to practice first without the fear of breaking or losing it. I appreciate your advice. Stay safe.
Buy a drone that fits comfortably in your budget. The more you pay, the better the drone. DJI MAVIC MINI is the best super beginner drone.
Awesome video captain. Can you move the camera from the controller.
The video review should answer that question
Hi would you recommend the bugs with the 4k camera you recently posted over this? Or would you say they are about the same quality. The bugs drone with the non foldable arms and legs
About the same
This is what im waiting for.. budget drone review.. 👍✌
More review pls.. 😊
Cap, what is your favorite small drone for flying around the neighborhood?
Mavic Mini
I'm waiting for your review of MJX B20 EIS. Thanks for this review.
So I see you are in Ottawa. Do you have any issues launching from sports fields or parks? I am in Kingston and just got my mavic mini. My house is in a warning are of a max hight of 60m. Just curious if you had an issue how did you explain it to the police or city?
No issues at all. As long as you fly with SAFETY in mind and stay away from Humans and Planes, you are fine.
It is a lasting drone?
How long do you think it will last?
or it's going to break down at the next month?
Thanks for the review nice little drone and it has waypoints, why should I have to use a third party app to get that on my Air2 🤷🏻♂️
Great review, but which is better the MJX Bugs B7 or this one? Need it to learn to fly, then off to get the DJI Air 2! (i.e. I need it for photos)
This one appears better than the B7
You would be better off just getting the air 2 . Common misconception that its easier to learn on cheap drones. Exact opposite. If your goal is the air 2 you will waste your money buying these types of drone. And won't get anywhere near the same experience.
@@criminalhaze1 Thought it would be better to crash $100 Drone rather than a $900 drone. I want to get the feel for them, and see what is possible. I currently have a drone from Banggood, but the order was not complete, parts missing (Battery, Spares). So waiting for a refund. I wonder if Captain Drone has that contact!
Thats what im trying to tell you ..these cheaper drones won't give you a feel for how a real drone is . Its a waste of money and time . I found out personally because I felt the same way as you . They are practically not even the same things . You are 100 percent more likely to crash and not even get a feel for what its like to fly with a drone on a cheap one than you ever would be with a quality machine. Just trying to save you some money and aggravation.
I can't find the enjoy fly app what should I use for the jjrc x12
Watch my review of the JJRC X12 and look at the very first comment below the video... That will answer your question.
Nice review as always Captain!
It could be interesting to see if you could open up that battery pack and swap what are most likely 2200 mah 18650 cells for higher capacity 3000 mah cells.
I have one. The cells are more AA size but lithium. But the flight time is good and mine came with 2 batteries. I bought a third one for under $30.
@@fuzzybobbles could you maybe just write a small sentence on how? 🥺🙏🏼 really wanting to do this on the mavic mini
@@brixtervillaruel Mavic mini is tricky as the board in the battery detects the cells have been changed and throws an error message when you turn the drone on. Quite a few posts on forums about it. Someone made a new board to fool the drone into thinking it has a normal battery fitted, but you can't buy them.
Tried to get more info from your link. But I gave up. Because it wants me to open up a app. My iPad does not need another one of those. Good review. As always
On mine I had an option to stay on page or get app,
You just skip the app and can visit Banggood to read the revievs there.
Also they have discounts if you install the app and if you are new buyer, you get 20 dollars discount coupon.
the blades are marked A1, A2, B2, B2 is there a way to make it more confusing?
I got a small crash and then when i put it to take off , its go up and then go automatically down to land , do you know wheres the problem?
Is the battery fully charged?
Thank you for another entertaining and informative review. I've only been a drone person for about two months and your reviews only feed my addiction further. It's a good addiction though and I really love flying them. At 67 years it's a great hobby and I like talking good pictures and videos. Thanks again from Australia!!
Youngster! :) You've got many years drone flying left. In the UK, the 250gm limit will be biting soon, so this is an interesting drone to me, or I have to pay to get an A2 CofC to continue with my JJRC X11 (680gm)
Could i use the eachine pro app to fly an ex4 pro?
Please do a s103 gps professional drone review please 🤚🤚🤚
Please do it🤚🤚🤚
Yess you have finally reviewed the ex5
can you fly the drone with just the app on the phone? or do you need the remote?
I think you can also fly with just the phone (not 100% sure).
Hey captain have you ever demo the ylr/c s105 pro gps drone that's on Amazon for $139 ?
No idea. Most drones on AMAZON are from small companies that take big name drones and then stamp their names on them. So if you do a search for the drone or company its hard to locate them.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 makes sense and thank you for your help? 😊
Do you know if the mavic mini propellers fit on the ex5 I thought I heard they do. I ask because all propellers come from a different country and takes forever to get to me and I can get the mavic mini blades sent to me the next day.
Is it about time to do an update beginner drone series
You have had three drones under 250 grams in last few weeks
In the fall you can expect another video on that topic
I have the drone made a flight. Then it lost wifi and won't connect and the app on my phone says drone/lock and I can't do anything. Please a help
If it worked before and now it does not work, perhaps the antenna on the drone has broken.
Where is the antenna? And if I can fix it. One time fly and it didn't fall down. How can it be broken? Thank you for your time
EX5 설정 감사합니다 🙏
즐거운 하루 잘시작 하세요.
Thanks for the review Steve! 👍👍 Is FPV transmission smooth? Does it actually hit 1km range on drone to phone Wifi? And how would you rank it vs MJX Bugs 7?
It is better than the BUGS 7 for sure. Range... I never tried to hit 1 Km. With budget drones range is hit and miss.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, your answer much appreciated. Keep up the great vids.
i have a lg k8+ phone i have been looking to find out what drone i can get that has gps
Help: When ordering this drone from Ban Good they ask do you want it to have 200m or 1000m which is the better one and why? Thank you
That refers to range, so the higher the number the higher the range.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Pity you didn't test the range as the 1000m claim on 5GHz wifi is bending the laws of physics a little...
Nice reviewed . I like it.. all function work much more stable then Heron X9. Video quality o-k-ish but take quite good picture.(what can you expect for a cheap drone) I paid $180 CA +2 battery.One thing I like is that you can fly using controller or phone only that mean you can put her in your pocket you are all set.
I noticed the phone is mounted below the controller... I think its better for the phone is mounted in front of the controller...
If it is the same basic controller design as the E520 then it will try to switch off phones with side buttons.
hello captain, hope you would introduce MJX bugs 20eis in the near future ? thanks...😁
Next week
Sir... Suggest me the best drone under the price of 100 to 150 dollars
Watch my video LOW COST DRONES FOR BEGINNERS
Hello, what would be a cheap drone that can follow me while I offroad in a atv. With a 3 ax. Camera
Nothing really. You see, once you have a drone follow a motorcycle or ATV, you must then only use quality drones with obstacle avoidance, so the lowest priced one is the MAVIC AIR 2.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Air 2 does following very well, even if it does struggle to stay with my KTM. But so do most other bikes...
which is better between this drone and mjx bugs 20 EIS???
Hi Captain, just received the Drone and very impressive for the $ ; one surprising feature however (on the App) is the video Zoom function !!! its actually pretty damn good !! was this enabled on your test Model?............... Cheers....................
Did I forget to show the zoom in the video? It is a digital zoom that is on all budget drone apps.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Couldnt see it on the review however nice surprise as it actually works quite well! Drone is very stable and quiet!
Camera looks decent and flies good, I still don’t understand why adding camera gimbal is always the issue 😢
Completely agree with you. At least a 2 axis gimbal would be nice
@@Ken-wz9vy what does a 2 axis gimbal stabilize
@@dosomestuff1949 takes away some of the camera shake when recording video
Thanks for the great videos. I am considering my first drone purchase. Do you still think the Holystone 720 is still one of the best budget drones? Thanks
It seems to be popular with beginners. The other option is an inexpensive drone with a gimbal for smooth video like the CSJX7 PRO
I got the EX5 the basic model and took it out since it had the styrofoam and put it in a small lunch box works perfect
What’s the fly time ?
If you had to recommend a drone under $500, what would be your best option? I'm looking for something that could take great photos. I was thinking the Mavic Mini only has a 12 MP sensor which really feels like its biggest draw back. While the Hubsan appears to take great photos/video but it doesnt seem as polished of a product as the Mavic. What are your thoughts?
MAVIC MINI is King
Someone plzz tell me can this drone fly without app?
So you will need a phone that can support 4K for this to work?
Nope, not at all.
Also the image quality looks like upscaled 720p to me (already got mine).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ahhh you do I just tried one with my oho e which doesn't support 4k and it can't record the video can take pictures... But not videos. :(
I recently bought the DJI Mini 2. It's three times what you pay for the EX5, but you really do get what you pay for.
Can i use windows 10 on a laptop to view instead of a smartphone?
The answer to such a question is.... Can you run the APP on your computer? Does your computer have 802.11ac? Once you discover those answers, you will have your answer.
This or bugs 16 pro?
