    The Bugs loses right away because it's phone dependent which is a huge issue. The Hubsan with it's built in screen makes it a true hobby drone and that's the only way to go.

    I had the H501s and currently have the non wifi version of the bugs2 and I can tell you it is if nothing else a more reliable quad. I added my own 5.8 cam to the b2 and threw away the stock cam and its just a way better experience vs hubsan imo.

    The BUGS 2W can be found at a much lower price if you wait for a flash sale. I got mine for only $129.

    Hi, i know this is an older video. However i have a few drones. I want to put some landing gear on my Bugs 2SE, to add a 4K action camera. I found Cymarc landing gear online, but for the Hubsan H501S. Will it fit the Bugs 2 as the two drones look so similar. Appreciate if you can help. Ta.

  • @jdorisco
    @jdorisco 5 лет назад +1

    I've seen other comparisons as well, and I would also choose the Hubsan H501ss. Mine flies perfectly, and I've been out 2000m, with standard controller and no antenna mods. (P.S. I hate flying with a phone and app!)

  • @edwinnegron7761
    @edwinnegron7761 5 лет назад +1

    I have the advanced H501S and love it!!!. I would love to add a drone with a gimbal that can shoot video downward, out at the beach fishing and would like a different perspective, someday. Thank you for your reviews.

    I've owned two Hubsan H501S's. First, let me say a year and a half ago when I purchased my first H501S, I had a number of out of controls. I have it documented on my RUclips channel. Turns out, I had a bad pigtail on the advanced transmitter then the locator on the left stick was bad. I fixed the pigtail myself and Hubsan fixed the locator. Several months ago, sold my original Hubsan when I purchased the DJI Mavic. I have since decided I wanted a less expensive drone in times I may not want to bring out the $1,200 bird. I ended up just a few days ago purchasing another H501 s-s with the standard transmitter. I'll modify the antennas to achieve the same performance as the advanced transmitter. Since I have a little experience with these, hopefully I can avoid my prior issues. I think it's a decent quad, but for a newbie into quads, I'd probably avoid it as you are rolling the dice with quality..

    • @HalfChrome

    On little remark. I prefer the hubsan standard transmitter. Bigger screen! You can buy transmitter antennas upgrade package for little. Flew over 1.5 km with those without a problem. One little hubsan drawback: you cannot rotate the camera. But you can upgrade firmware easily with micro usb cable.

About 2 months ago, I purchased my first quad ever, The Hubsan X4 H501S-S , I love this hobby and I'm addicted to it !

I need to get out there and test the extended range mod I did to the H501SS controller, wish me luck with the 5.8G 14dBi FPV Enhanced range antenna kit I purchased through Amazon prime.

  • @airpic5253
    @airpic5253 6 лет назад

    The Bugs 2 has telemetry on the transmitter, best of both worlds and you can also get a kit with longer landing legs on so you can install a camera mount or 2D gimbal, that's why I prefer it over the Hubsan...

    Mjx is better because price is not the same.. hubsan is about 40% more or about a $100 more... look on banggood or ebay get the bugs 2w for about $135 got my bugs 2c for $110.. got 500 yards distance so far... gps is the key with these drones..

    Hi guys.. I want a drone for use in Africa and would appreciate your informed opinions. I want something reliable. I bought a hubsan h502c and it lasted less than a week. one of the motors no longer works as it should so it doesn't take off now and am in process of sending it back. I am not interested in what tricks a drone can do. I just want something that wil give me close to a mile or km in distance and long flying time. The parrot bepop 2 is little too expensive for me sadly. So which is better for my needs. Thanks

    • @HalfChrome
      @HalfChrome  6 лет назад +1

      You'll need something with brushless motors. Unfortunately the Hubsan H502 drones are no where near as reliable as the H501 drones.

    • @ГригорийИванов-г9о
      @ГригорийИванов-г9о 6 лет назад

      Can recommend only Hubsan 501 s.These are brushless motors.Very reliable technique! Flight about 20 min.Set with remote control Pro the price is about 250$.The cheapest removable batteries.Distance up to 1500 meters.Maybe 1 mile.It will only be necessary to remove the restrictions on the range.I wish you luck,Tendai D.

    The funny thing is you flown free drones for rating. And money, everyone knows how the reviews. Work! You get free stuff say how great it is. People like me watch your review and buy mjx because all the great reviews only to find a lot of people say the same thing. So you keep getting your free drones. Why would you tell people go buy? For your ratings? I have the right to tell my story it is The internet and no one has the right to shut others up. Mjx told me they would do something. Did not know delete me was looking into.

  • @inksliger96

    All I did was tell my story! Me! one man! You tell your story, you one man how can you tell me/everyone of mjx drones to be great when you are one man! Just like I can’t say all bugs are bad, but I can tell my story! True story. Did not get paid! Me. Mjx deleted me and two others, so it never happened to you! You did not give them a chance yet, you have to complain,

    I had a fathers day gift from my daughter to get me out of depression it was a bugs 3h a I had a German Shepherd for 13 1/2 years died in front of me as hours went by 8 hour in was like she parilized 1” half hour pass started with tail and it was old age. But now I have that, she bought the drone I was happy it was raining the box was dri but all dented I opened box made sure all was there. I flew all my life and boat, cars, helicopter, planes, I flew the drone in my house just fine. I took it and put a400.00 silver hero 4 and a128gig SD card. And had my family out side to watch me fly I have other drones sky viper 1750 , flys great q500. And 3dr some others. But I can fly, I had my family watching I put down in middle street stood back start, hover, 5 feet turn take pic of family turn it back around! Wanted to go 20 feet just to see around GoPro! I live in runway area I know how high I can fly I registered so I won’t take above 125 feet . But 20 foot bugs say in one spot! And waved shot strait up way past the 400 foot mark never seen it lost signal and the controller beeped. I fly over my house with a lot of.drones! Never in my life seen that! They called us my daughter lies and so I showed them proof and top guy said they would look into. I just wanted them to replace my gift. I was on a flying field with my day at 6 years old fly at 12 and this was not my cause I crashed my share and never asked for new. This was not me. So what they did! As I’m waiting for a reply! They changed and blocked my name, I’m waiting and waiting! I go look up others that the stop talking and there is a lot all over, in the review comments some remove them, but so keep, I’m waiting, Amazon says it not their problem contact MJX and so I’m waiting, and I changed my Twitter name to go see mjx and they are there and my other account shows 7/17 still. They blocked me again. So three names and still nothing, but I’m letting people know my story.

      Never fly over 400 meters, especially with a non-GPS drone.

    • @inksliger96
      @inksliger96 6 лет назад

      Half Chrome I did not fly over 400 feet I’m 52 years old I was flying when you was in diapers I know about 400 feet because wet behind the ear! It was 1000 before and we tried real hard to stop 400 foot, and now they want to lower the height again. And most likely get it to 100 feet. They want a fast track low flying airforce. For coming invents. But I did not fly above 125 I have airport run way. I’ve flown all my life and never seen a plane or anything. Fly like that. I know it had to violate airspace control. But no review got anyone ready for that. Or about the photo taker over the ocean on beach, and called home and it went out and never seen it, or the little kid, that wanted to fly with his dad, and the drone just crashed, real fast. See a lot of people trust the reviews, but you have to edit bad out. So you can keep pushing junk. I’m what is called a veteran RC Pilot I build and from scratch, I can fix anything electronic, the three fazed motors ,brushless you all call it, I can build so don’t make me look like I’m a jerk. Your wrong for that one. Descredit me and my knowing, it was the bugs, now they can kiss my a;: s because to many people complaining I never by the just they sell. You keep telling people they are great. The company blows and don’t care about none of the crap they sell.

    • @HalfChrome
      @HalfChrome  6 лет назад

      Sorry, but you are wrong. If something is bad I say it. I don't sell drones. I review them. If I think one is better than another why should I care which one you buy. MJX makes a better drone than Hubsan or Syma or a lot of the other toy grade manufacturers. I have flown hundreds of drones. That is my opinion. Are they perfect? No. Did you get a bad one? Perhaps. Sure quality control coming out of China isn't the best. That isn't something new. I'm sorry you lost your drone and you had a bad experience with MJX. I have not had the same experience as you. I am not going to discount your experience, nor should you mine.

  • @inksliger96
    @inksliger96 6 лет назад

    Dont Get a Hubsan ! I Bought 3 Hubsans quad, Guess what, Surpise surpise, All Defectice, First one is a H502S, 1 Light Is not working, Second is the H501ss , All Motor are badly installed, Its rubbing against the body, motors are Grinding and clicking, And It lost Control after take off, I lost all Control, I push the throttle up and Let go, And It wont stop going up ! No controls at all, It returned to home and I catched it, What a pain. Last one is the H502E, The camera is complete blurry compare to other youtubers With the H502s, And Hubsan replaced the bearing with Plastic Rings ! They keep on flying out and Causing the drone to crash ! Im definally going to stay away from Hubsan, their Quality and quality controls are 50/50, Only if youre lucky, Its a Hit or Miss. Get a Mjx, Much more reliable and better quality and quality controls !

    I don't know about hubsan being good it's nowhere near as good as MJX. Mjx is definitely better quality as well as functionality hubsan is hit-or-miss. Hubsan quality control is not good and they do not honor their warranty like they say they do and good luck getting ahold of any tech support person it's actually going to help you instead of just saying they're going to and then not doing anything for you. In my experience mjx is much much better

      I own both. The hubsan is worth $100.00 more because of better camera, 5.8ghz fpv, built in monitor, rechargeable tx battery included, more readings, (heading, speed, battery voltage, GPS coordinates), follow me, circle me, plus quad turns towards home on RTH.

    • @christopherho5821
      @christopherho5821 6 лет назад +3

      Gimp Man features are not the most important factor on buying a drone the most important factor is the reliability, MJX has much higher quality Parts internally, GPS and glonass, two antenna for better reception, no flyaways just like hubsans always do, no motor issues like the hubsan always do, and no lost control of the aircraft like Hubsans, Much Much more reliable, Hubsan May sound better on paper, But Its not, just wait for mjx future release, it will completely destroy hubsan

I’ve been nonstop telling my story, and I have a lot of story’s back funny! I’m going looking for people. When I get done with MJX no one will want the junk they have, I’m on man and I’m telling my story, and others will soon be too they deleted people that complain. You will never see a complaint if they can help, just so you know, my self and Two others was deleted at the same time. Tell me how good the company is. You will be #1 in the field if you pay everyone; and do events, why would you not say great things about mjx and if your not paid to play, lots of others are. And I hold no creditability to no reviews on you tube. Because I watched all of them on everyone and you all say different but same way.

      for the same reasons as the 70 comenter's gave. hubsan is to slow , has fly aways , no customer suport , extra features like follow me dont work right most of the time , quality of the parts is not as good , bearings in motors sound bad from factory , does not have 1/2 the range as the bugs 2 , i could realy go on for days here but i wont waste my time or yours. the only thing better on the hubsan is the body shell is made with better plastic. i know these things for a fact becouse like i said i have them both.

      @@HalfChrome yes i see it selling for around $300 from some and way below 150... but batteries are very expensive... they should be around $8 but they are like $24...But this quad is fantastic... watched a video of it flying 1000 meters...then the guy just pressed a button and it came home..amazing what you get for the same money compared to 5 years ago... i have a few manually operated quads...
