We're very excited to share this GPS Camera Drone with you guys by Hubsan as it's been a long time since we've featured anything by Hubsan! We fell in love with our last GPS drones, the H502E and H501S and now we've got something for right under $100 that does waypoints and everything you would expect from a GPS drone! It does have brushed motors though, they do seem to be top quality, and a lack of a camera gimbal makes this a great beginner GPS drone. The video saved file on our SD card did seem to skip frames though, so really this could only be used for "fun" and nothing else. It really is a lot of fun though! Happy Flying!

Hubsan make really good drones for the price. Impressive!
This is absolutely my favourite drone. It's cheap enough that I can be ballsy with it. I've flown it low over water, the camera is amazing for the price, the jello can be cleaned up. It's inexpensive, I carry three batteries. It's light. I've crashed it due to dumb stuff, and it still flies. My favourite piece of fun toy, without a doubt. I've had mine for a year now. Do you still fly yours for fun?
YES, outdoor flying. Hubsan is pretty awesome for price and product. good review guys. I look forward to seeing you everyday
We were very happy to finally fly something outdoors :)
I became aware very recently of this idea of a controller connected by Bluetooth to the phone that is controlling the drone via wifi. The drone I saw (the first one I ever saw with this concept) was the Yuneec Breeze. I wondered how effective this type of controller would be, so it was very interesting to see in your demo that it works well.
Oh... after watching this video. I would still go back to Tello since I dont know anything yet about drone. Thanks for the nice video review.
Thanks Nate and Abby for the excellent review. I just ordered this drone a couple days ago and am looking forward to the first flight. Now I have a better idea of what to expect when I get it in the air, what to do/not to do. Thanks again!!
Hi guys, in the hubsan app you can set the altitude of the waypoints and also set the point of interest, where the camera points to while doing the auto fly functions. Works pretty well on my 507a.
It's astonishing how much better sub-$100 drones are now than a few years ago. Now, you're sure this one has GPS - right?
Hahaha :) Yeah this one does have GPS ;-)
no mention of GPS in product description from the purchase link...just mentions return to home function...
I cannot find any mention of GPS, just altitude hold.
TheRcSaylors look into the battery port area , is it above the flight controller attached to the upper inside bodyshell
I did a search for skipping in the comments and did not find any, so I will leave mine. Hubsan frame skipping in recorded video can be one of two things. One, the sd card isn't fast enough for the 1080p bit stream or two, I've heard of them skipping if the volume label on the card wasn't blank.
Thanks for another nice test! A friend at work was just asking me for a recommendation for a beginner drone around $100. You just saved me a lot of research! Actually I was looking for your "Best of 2017" video when I found this.
I have a suggestion. With drones that can flip, try it while flying forward at a decent speed. Most will do a big loop, which looks pretty cool.
Thanks again for all you do.
Yeah this one is pretty great for that $100 price point :) We do need to make our best of videos. Believe it or not they are actually much harder to edit than a standard video like this :) Happy Flying to you and your friend!
I've been through six (6) Hubsan H507A drones; every one of them has blown a motor within the first several weeks despite my having practised good "brushed motor hygiene" throughout the brief lifespan of the drones. :-(
So I snagged a Hubsan H216A hoping to have better results...well, I didn't. I unboxed it, charged the flight battery, and tried to bind it via WiFi on my cellular telephone handset. All appeared normal for approx. 25 seconds, then this cloud of bluish-grey acrid smoke began to issue from the underside of the drone's fuselage. When connected to its battery now, everything looks & sounds normal (the sound I'm referring to is that faint high-pitched whine that all Hubsan GPS drones emit) but the drone does not generate a WiFi hotspot, so it's totally unflyable and is essentially nothing more than a $116 paperweight. :-(
Props to Hubsan! Looks like a good package
Nice, this is definitely one for me to consider getting. I've been interested in affordable GPS drones for a while, thanks for the video :)
Did you buy it?
It is 20 degrees...at night...Crazy. I keep watching and truthfully, it just confuses me to see so many different quads available. Now it seems the folding arm quads are the most popular. Dutch is giving away a very small FPV quad that seems pretty fast. As I am getting into Nitro powered stuff more, Being a small engine person I dont know why I didnt get into them sooner as they are right up my alley anyways. I still wouldnt mind getting a quad just to take pictures and stuff. Truthfully, no one races quads in this area. There are no groups or anything available. I could speed around trees or whatever I guess. I really enjoy my planes more,well and helicopters,if anything more for the extreme challenge. I think my goal will eventually get a nitro helicopter. Eather way, you two have really helped me keep up on my hobby. I still like playing with my furybee and that flying car has been nothing but fun! The neighborhood kids love it!
Oh wow another little beauty I had no idea that there are so many out there thanks for the post stay safe
Wow, that is some incredible footage for that price.
Thanks for the review. Seems it's hit and miss on the advertised features. The Return-to-Home worked great though so that's a big plus. Happy Flying!
Good review. Nice to see a cheaper full feature gps. Most do not include orbit or way points.
Was watching your channel(the only one I subscribe too)because I was viewing you video on the Hubsan 501 4X...and a new Hubsan video comes up!!LOL!! You kids are Awesome!
Haha, that is really awesome timing!! Thanks a lot for tuning in and all of your continued support :)
I have that drone too.....great Hubsan drone too have love all the features it’s have.....can’t wait too fly it. Great review on it RcSaylors.👍
Love your videos. This one was a bit confusing as to what you guys were talking about and what was being shown. I understand the drone was off looks like a great drone and does what it says. Thanks for the video as always.
Hi Mr & Mrs Saylors just letting you know that I ordered this today and rwo extra batteries so thanks very much for your help we went with this one because it looked the best for me to learn and if it goes well in a few months I will start working on getting a really good one thanks again stay safe see ya
This is a great beginner drone Bene :) Get a good calibration before each flight and you will do just fine. Happy Flying!
So this is your favourite 100$ drone now? First i was going to get visuo then changed my mind to go with tello and after ypr review i guess i will buy this one, any comments?
Is it just me or this video quality amazing? It looks like 1080p and almost no jello on a toy drone.
Yeah its pretty good quality. It is 1080p and pretty much no jello :)
Thanks guys for your recommendations I had bought the bugs 2 which was really nice, but I sent it back cause it would take 10 min to get the battery out just about break your fingers, I watch your videos all the time. I'm thinking about either the venom or the inspire clone. Thank you guys for your response
No problem barry, happy flying!
It looks like a very nice beginner drone can you turn the GPS off so you can learn how to fly without
Hey there, new sub here, and I have one of these on the way; it will be my first drone. I almost went with a $50 drone, but the 1080p video on this one, along with the GPS, and onscreen telemetry made this one a no brainer for me, at this price point anyway. I also picked up some extra batteries, and a wifi booster. Have you ever tried a wifi booster, it is supposed to extend the range to around 300m? Thanks for the awesome videos, they were instrumental in helping to make sense of what options are available on drones these days. And thanks for your unbiased opinion.
Great job as always. Love how you guys are having fun :D
The follow me has to be done with the quad around 5 meters or more away. And its following the phone not Abby lol. So if you've done what I said, it would have worked perfectly. 🤗
Good Morning Saylors! I just woke up enjoyed my favorite RC channel's latest offering, to start my day off, right! I read another viewer's comment asking about the quality of the SD card you used. And wondering/suggesting if you try a high-class rated card for speed (try and find a newer one, as I have read that sd cards can lose their efficiency over time) to see if it helps with the dropped frame problem. (And if it does, it would be a great reason for a followup video ;) The camera isn't the culprit or the streamed video would have been equally bad. It could be DVR inside the drone, but it would be an easy test with a super fast sd card! Loved the change of venue! JP
If it helps any, the viewer's name of the above mentioned comment is Buddy C from 12 hours ago. (I commented on, his own comment, as well)
Looks like a fun quadcopter!
Thank you for the video!!!!i was looking forward to buy this drone and it helped me a lot!!!
Happy Flying!
My 502 is a pain to get flying. Can you show all the calibrations. And all the fun preflight.
We showed the full preflight in our 502 videos ;)
That more like it. It has props not tires. I like the drone. Just needs brushless motors . The price is great. The wife just told me if I am going to be with the RC Sailors to go to the other end of the house. I think she wants to go to sleep. Great video. Thanks
Lol we love all RC stuff, but flying is where it's at :) Haha, tell your wife we are sorry and hope you guys get a good night of rest!
For $100 that H216A is really good. Great video review. ;-)
Thanks a lot Don!!
Some of us are starting. to put landing gears on our Hubsan 502 body.type ,eBay sells the landing gear for 3.88,to keep the dirt out of the drone, the new 502 E and s now come with people guards on them already installed, my E didn't have them so I bought a set, I am a beginner still, my Hubsan 502S came with prop guards
It's definitely a good idea to add the guards for newer pilots :)
Ron Thompson I wouldnt think of flying without some type of gear. I even cut the guards away but keep the landing gear. Grass,and especially dirt can really mess up the motors, even on a crash the gear helps keep at least two motors out of the dirt. I avoid dusty dirty areas if I can.
Thanks guys ,and for your great videos
It's got an awesome camera for such a low price!
1080p and it does look pretty good :)
You said u downloaded a map of the field and used that when flying. I looked on the app for map insertion or download and could not find it. How did you do that?
another great video, thanks again!
is there any reason why camera drones do not come with transparent front props?
Hi guys, I have a couple of Hubsan quads, brushed and brushless, and am generally impressed with the "bang for buck" they offer. What micro SD card do you use? I found that unless I used something like a Samsung Pro class10 type card, I would get dropped frames and other anomalies in the captured video. Definitely worth getting good cards. And what's with the beard being on and off in your latest videos?
Buddy C Very good idea about the sd card quality/speed. Lets hope Nate and Abby respond. I, too would like to know. Maybe they could do an update video if after testing the difference and seeing an improvement.
Buddy C I agree on the memory cards. there is a little number printed somewhere on the card, I was told you have to be careful not to get anything below 10. The lower priced, cheaper memory cards do that too.
the faster cards now are not only class 10, but also u3. u1 cards are too slow for faster framerate/higher def video. On my note 8, i cant use anything less than a class 10 u3 card. Fortunately, best buy and amazon regularly have under $40 sales on the samsung 128 gb cards.
And what's with the beard being on and off in your latest videos?=Witness Protection?
My concern will always be wind blowing my quad over a body of water and not being able to bring the quad back.
this drone looks great dod you think i should buy this one?
Hello guys. This videos gonna be amazing.
Hello :-D
Nice guys! Good times! :)
Interesting video, and thanks for the review guys. Looks like a neat little bird, but you said the batteries were readily available while other reviewers are saying that there are no batteries available anywhere that are spares for this bird. Could you post the dimensions of the battery so that we might be able to find some other battery that would fit? thanks again for the review love the channel and I've been subbed for a long time so keep them coming...
Great job guys! :)
@TheRcSaylors is the camera in the X4 H502E THE SAME QUALITY AS THIS ONE?
That controller is a plus if it can be used as a bluetooth game controller as well.
Ooh that's a good point! I need to try and see if that would work!
Hey guys...can this drone save video to your phone or just to card?....thanks ,steve🇬🇧
kewl, dependable hardware.... good show kids!
Hi Nate and Abby. Do you think it's better than the Feilun fx176c1 you tested before ? Best regards from France. Eric
Are there any other bluetooth controller that is compatible to this drone? Thanks
Great channel! keep up the awesome videos!
Thanks!
This drone or a bugs 3 with fpv cam?
Fredrik Hedberg bugs 3 more power and fun
Bug 3 all day
Too bad the Bugs 3 doesn't have GPS!
John Poen Look at the Bugs 2c . Great Quad !
Bruce Lancaster yes, great Quad, but I want FPV... and the bugs 2w is too expensive...
Amazing video 👌and is it worth upgrading from the iphone5s to the 6s so I can watch ur videos better
Zero Espresso you need to upgrade from ios to Android
No Hubsans for me ! My firsts was a 502e. What a lemon ! Bad motors ,toilet bowling ,swings like a pendulum when it stops ! Next was a MJX Bugs 2c. Great quad ! What a difference ! Looks like this has the same motors as the 502e ?
Great video guys
Nice demonstration or features ,
Flight time for days. Shame about the video from the sd card though. I wonder if there would be a firmware fix available, if not now then maybe in the future? Or are manufacturers like hubsan more likely to just put that particular fix into a new product rather than make it available for a current product?
bro, which meters does it have for alive watching from phone ?
Hi guys ... Am I right in saying that this drone is only for those who have a 5.8G phone as it won't work with a 2.4G phone because you need the app and bluetooth to fly it. Cheers :)
5.8g and 2.4g? What do you mean with that?
Good video, do you think you can put a larger battery in it,or do you think that's about it with what it comes with.
That's the largest that could fit in here. Just have to buy a couple more bats.
Question: What goggles can I use with this Quad. I like the 1080p and I got a range extender . Would the Eachine 007 or similar work with it?
No, this operates on a wifi FPV signal, so really anything you can put your phone in.
good video and keep up the good work Nathan and Abby
Thanks a lot Skylar!
I like it. Good review. 2 Thumbs Up.
Thanks Darren :)
Can you do a video on most affordable best drone setup like a bugs drone and a knockoff GoPro for 100$ for filming
Is this drone can fly with action cam?
Could you try making a wltoys a979b with a leopard 4370kv and 60a and use a 2s.Then put the dromida monster truck tires on it. It could be a good video and l would love to see that. PIs do it if possible. It would also be super fast.
I cant seem to get my hubsan desire x4 h216a gps pro to connect to the controller or my cell phone. I have my bluetooth on, wifi on, and location on. Still not communicating right. Do you have any options i can try? Thanks and Happy New Year
Are you trying to run it on IOS 12? It wont run on my sons new iphone xr but I have no issues on my Galaxy x8. Turns out IOS 12 is not supported.
@@redwoods1974 im using the samsung galaxy s6
Hey guys great video. I like this better than my H502s and waypoints are a plus. Any extra room in the battery compartment?? By the way have not heard back from you on the contest. Hope you got my address as I am so stoked about winning a baby spark . Thanks guys!!!
If anyone wants to know how long is the range is in a no interference area is about 200m max
Question: Can you fly the drone with the transmitter only?
Not sure if you got the answer to this question, but nevertheless the answer is "No". The transmitter is connected to you phone via bluetooth, it doesn't connect directly to the drone. This might look like a handicap but it is actually making the flying distance only dependable on WiFi signal, which can be extended further with the proper device, rather than dependable on both WiFi and RC signals.
I likey , good job guys 👍👍
:)
another great video, thank you
To bad Hubsan has terrible customer service for the good their drones flying but good luck having them help you fix it
Early squad where you at (:
Can't get a wifi signal have a galaxy s9 plus. Please help
Can I hook up the camera to VR?
The H502S WAS THE SAME AS THE 502E with FPV.
Thanks again for a good job.
Thanks for tuning in!
Headless mode functionality?
You both Rock!😊
Hey @rcsaylors have you ever review the Yuneec Breeze 4k?
Has anyone taken the guts of a quadcopter like this and transplanted them into a diy chassis? My thinking is to gain space for larger batteries and to mount a gimbal for a 4k action cam. Maybe even upgrade to brushless motors?
That drone or tello??
so would u say its better then the hubsan 501s
502s
Awesome drone!!
Not too bad, especially for the price!
Super awesome video
:-)
Hey guys you could open a second hand prop guard store
Lol we definitely could ;) We've got so many prop guards just laying around!
DJI Tello vs. This Hubsan?
Have you seen our video of the Tello? That will answer your question I think ;-)
Earliest ever for me wohoo!
Nice Jay!! :-)
I never see you take Popeye outside to the field. Let the poor guy out now and then! ;-) Good review. Between this and the Feilun FX176C1 GPS, which would you pick?
I see him many times!
Did pretty good. Flying, gps etc. Fix the video, and it would be near perfect overall. Good review as usual.
Thank you brother Stan!
Nice review.......Abby and Nathan.....
Great GPS drone
Especially for the price :)
How long can drone fly until the battery gets 20percent left?
Not sure if we can give you an exact number there but we demonstrated a full flight with a full charge in this video ;)
Ok thank you...so...you mean the flight time in the video is similar. to flight time with a full charge of the drone. Right?
hello RcSaylors!!! i need help .. which do you recommend and think is better
Bugs 3 or XK X251???
also can you please tell me which is better between bugs 3 , bugs 6 and bugs 8 pro
This is a hubsan review not a drone comparison video
Sent this video to my brother.. trying to get him hooked lol
This would be a very affordable way to get into the hobby :)
What's the point of GPS, altitude hold, auto take off, etc etc if the video is the stabilized/gimbal? Without those two things, the rest are just gimmicks.
