  • This small feature rich FPV quadcopter has a follow me mode that makes it the ultimate sport selfie drone. Small enough to be carried just about anywhere via backpack. It's also very easy to setup and fly. Find it here goo.gl/QY2dxi
    or here from Amazon amzn.to/2eJMdtY
    and VR007 FPV goggles here goo.gl/V5oQjH
    Pro's
    Onboard 1080p camera.
    5.8 Ghz FPV system.
    Lightweight transmitter with built in FPV monitor.
    Telemetry information visible on transmitter FPV screen (quadcopter position, altitude, speed, remaining battery power, etc...)
    GPS position hold and barometer altitude hold modes.
    Follow me mode that automatically points the camera toward you and follows your movements.
    Headless mode.
    Return to home/landing.
    Large battery that provides plenty (about 20 minutes) of flight time.
    Con's
    Altitude can vary (drop) as the speed of the quadcopter increases, or with wind. This is caused by static air pressure drop to the altitude hold barometer from quadcopter movement (or wind). Additionally, the quadcopter can not automatically detect objects in its flight path. Be aware of both of these limitations to prevent unintended impact with trees, or in my case, desert bushes ;-)

      Quadcopter 101 is the hubsan h501s the same thing of hubsan h501s x4?

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  7 лет назад +2

      Yes it is.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  7 лет назад

      "X4" is a designation that Hubsan uses to refer to their quadcopter RC products. So yes, Hubsan H501S is the same as Hubsan H501S X4.

    @banthapoodoo 8 лет назад +2

    As always, nice review Q101. One very important correction. Low quad battery does NOT trigger automatic RTH . Only loss of transmitter signal by the quad will trigger the failsafe automatic RTH.
    Headless mode reference heading for headless mode is not the heading the quad was pointing takeoff. It is the direction the quad was pointing when it enters headless mode and is updated each time you reenter headless mode. So if you exit headless mode and reenter headless mode, the reference heading will change. This makes headless mode practically useless for manually piloted return to home. Good thing it has autopilot RTH and GPS!

    I have had this drone for about 2 months and 8 flights now. For the price and the features, it is awesome. That said, the battery life is shorter than the 20+ minutes advertised. Maybe filming all the time, a slight wind + the fun factor seemed to diminish this time. felt more like 12min. One big improvement would be: (Are you listening Hubsan?) Having telemetry is GREAT, however, if you cannot read it, it is useless. I CANNOT READ THE HEIGHT! FAA regulations and all... Like to make sure I am in compliance. HOW ABOUT putting an opaque black box behind the data so as to be able to read in bright conditions. You know, the conditions we are required to fly by law. A surrounding black box would accommodate this dilemma.

    Hi Quad 101 -- i have been flying the H501 for last several weeks -- there are firmware upgrades (hubsanUS site) for both the quad and transmitter -- with important updates including the ability to leave lights on vs blinking -- BTW Hubsan customer support is very good!! -- overall a great Quad and there is a great case and visor for controller monitor available -- thx for your vids!

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  8 лет назад

      +Brian Gonzalez What is included with the important updates other than lights? As mentioned, I'm really hesitant to upgrade, unless the upgrade includes a correction to a significant problem.

    • @brian_gonzalez
      @brian_gonzalez 8 лет назад +1

      +Quadcopter 101 You point on "if aint broken don't fix it" is a good one -- there was an update that created problems with GPS -- giving a "toilet bowl" effect as RC Flyer and others have called it -- Hubsan support sent me a pre-release of firmware that got things much better and i find it super stable not seeing the altitude drops you experienced early on - specially with windy conditions. One area that needs to be addressed is that the transmitter eats batteries fast -- i use rechargeable and that helps a bit. thx for great videos - i was happy to see you with this Quad!

  • @MrPolymers
    @MrPolymers 8 лет назад

    This would be a better option than the Cheerson CX 22, etc. Remember, this weighs in at 410 grams or so. If you're in the US, you'll need the FAA registration number on it. Don't be stupid and fly this over crowds or people. FAA fines are rumored to be $27,000.... This is not a toy... 7.4 volts is somewhat under powered with my experience. The lighter weight does help somewhat. No home point direction arrow on the telemetry. I have the Hubsan H301S powered glider with similar features.

    Good video. You missed showing headless mode. I have two white H501S es. I painted the bottom of one black for daytime visibility against the clouds and sky. The completely white one has a 32 LED cellphone photo fill light Velcroed to its underside. You can fly it to 400' up at night and it looks like a super bright star. You can fly it to its extreme range and it is easily seeable. I imagine anyone looking up probably wonders what the heck they are looking at. When it is moving out or returning home it looks like a UFO. :-)

      +Paul Terl Yes. It is rechargeable using a phone charger mini USB cable. They come with the cable generally. Go to Ebay and enter exactly in birch box (mini powerful smart phone video photo LED fill light lamp) The ones you want to look at are 21LED or 32LED. The 21 LED is 50mm x 45mm x 18mm and weighs 18grams. The 32LED is 1/2 again as big and puts out considerably more light.

      david teddy the great thing about the quad is is the fact that you can add a lipo battery into the jst connector right in back into the battery bay
      I added a 1200 milliamp hour battery that last me approximately 10 flights before I have to charge it
      it fits nicely into the battery bay although you can't put the battery door on
      there are also settings in the controller that allow you to go from expert mode to a beginner mode

    @eastcoastdrones4517 8 лет назад +1

    What firmware is in yours? Hundreds of owners have been having major issues with this quad. Hubsan has pit out several firmware updates to try and correct. You have to have a newer one if calibration was not needed on start up. Curious what firmware you have on the quad and transmitter.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  8 лет назад +2

      +Anthony Cirillo Actually, I think that the firmware updates are the issue. I'm a firm believer that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If there's no issue flying your quad out of the box, do not update its firmware, even if there are updates available. Many of these updates are quickly released and not tested.

    Hello, thank you for your answer! My TX does have 12 sats, but the X4GPS keeps saying "NA" or "0".

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  8 лет назад

      Take it outside, bind it to the transmitter, do the calibration dance, and wait up to 15 minutes to see if it can find the satellites at all. If it never changes from NA or 0, then obviously something is wrong with its GPS. Make a short unlisted RUclips video "clearly" showing the problem, then contact your vendor's customer service with this link to see if they'll resolve. If they don't help, then file a dispute with your credit card company or PayPal for receipt of a defective product. Include the video link with your dispute.

    • @Quadcopter101

      When you do take it outside, make sure that you're in an open area with a clear view of the sky (no trees or buildings blocking the sky view).

    Thanks for the great video. How is the video this produces compared to that of the Phantam 3 standard?

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  7 лет назад +1

      The Phantom 3 standard includes a higher resolution camera and stabilized gimbal system for much better video. But of course you're going to pay at least a couple hundred dollars more for that capability. Also, I feel much more comfortable flying the smaller quieter H501 in the vicinity of people. It is a much less intrusive quadcopter than the Phantom, and much less likely to result in complaints from the drone phobic population ;-0

    • @thejungleexplorer
      @thejungleexplorer 7 лет назад

      I have been watching other youtube videos of the Phantom 3 and to tell you the truth, I think your video looks better. The color seems a bit off on all the videos of Phantom 3 footage I have watched and the fine detail is non existent when the drone is in motion. I am not saying it is bad video, I just don't see it to be significantly better then the video you shot here with the H501S . The color of your video appears to be true to natural color. Did you have to correct the color in processing, or is this the non-enhanced footage? Thanks.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  7 лет назад

      That is its unedited color. But keep in mind that I'm flying in the desert on a cloudless bright sunny day. Here are some other examples of H501 videos that I've done ruclips.net/channel/UC90A4JdsSoFm1Okfu0DHTuQsearch?query=h501

    • @thejungleexplorer
      @thejungleexplorer 7 лет назад

      That certainly does help. But all the video of the Phantom 3 that I have watched has a slight purple hue to them (Some worse then others) and obvious lack of saturation over natural environment. The H501 has real crisp blues. It may be just tad bit over saturated, but that is not bad thing, and is common among budget action cameras. Thanks again.

On a level surface doing calibration to a T I just can't get zeros. A RUclips tutorial said to recalibrate the compass if values are above 1 or less than - 1.

    Good review. Why don't you like the stick 'being centered'? I've just learnt to fly with a Syma XC51 and am looking to move up, but still want to improve my 'manual' flying skills tho' I'd use the GPS stuff also.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  5 лет назад

      Altitude hold (center throttle) is appropriate if you intend to stick to GPS quadcopters. But center throttle would hobble you if you would like to try FPV racers with manual throttle control.

    • @mgml
      @mgml 5 лет назад

      @@Quadcopter101 Thanks, not sure I get that. (I've just ordered the H501S, arrives tmrw). When you're operating say, the Syma XC5 isn't the 'center position' just a position that you just move through as you're throttling up and down? I'm sure I'll work it out eventually.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  5 лет назад

      @@mgml There is no real center throttle position on the X5C as the original X5C does not have altitude hold. If you want to hover, you have to manually find that sweet spot in the throttle position where the drone will hover. On top of that you'll be continuously adjusting that position to maintain hover. With practice, "muscle memory" takes over, and you will eventually be able to manually hover without thinking about it.

      @@Quadcopter101 Think I get you now. Yep, holding altitude is real difficult on my X5C-1. I'm guessing with the Hubsan I choose my altitude and then center the throttle to hold it? (I lost my X5C1 today. Didn't notice I had low batteries on the remote. I wondered why it wasn't playing nice this morning. Eventually it just kept going higher and further and didn't come back! It's probably somewhere around the north pole now).

    This shoots better video than the Bebop 2, much better colors, brightness and sharper video. Bebop 2 has it beat in steady video, flying features (points of interest, waypoints, etc). And IF you get the Skycontroller, you can fly a helluva lot further (up to 1.3 miles). Also there is an app you can use that has follow me mode. Their own app, Free flight 3 doesn't have that.
    That being said, the Hubsan H501S is a helluva value for what it can do. Makes me second guess my Bebop 2 purchase, but once I got the Skycontroller for my Bebop 2, it became a beast (as far as distance). IF it had a better camera, the Bebop 2 would be up there with DJI & Yuneec. This Hubsan H501S is quite tempting.

    Pretty neat copter ... hefty price goes along with all those features. Like most everything about it except its built in FPV screen, which would be mostly useless in any kind of sunlight. Couldn't see anything in your video that you were describing on the screen, so we'll take your word for it. Had to go to the site to check its features, as when you first started describing it, you said it had brushless motors, then later in the video you said it had brushed motors, so I wasn't sure which it had .. and it is brushless as noted in your "show more notes". I'm sure Hubsan will be asking for your other arm or leg for the matching goggles so that you can actually see something. Then, there's the question about its range, both for the quad and the FPV signal. I see it listed as 300m, but, that could just be advertising. Would like to see you do a real time test of that range .. you could use Google maps to draw a line between take off point and where you lose either control signal or FPV signal and get an accurate distance. This one kind of 'breaks the mold', as it doesn't fit any real category: it's not a camera bird; its not a FPV racer. I guess it's ... ah ... innovative .. yeah, we'll go with that ... innovative! Good review ... I hope you kept your promise to doggie and let her out for a 'walk'. Cheers!

      +Yazgersfarm Bring up the area to measure in Google Maps. Zoom in if necessary. Right click on the starting point, and from the drop down menu, select "measure distance". The next place you point to and left click on, will be the end point, and a line will be drawn between start-stop, and the distance will be shown. You can also do this with Google Earth.
