This is the second drone I've purchased because of your recommendation. The first was the CSJ S166. I wanted another drone so my wife and I could fly together and learn from each other. This drone does everything you said it would. The set up was easy, the controller is very easy to use and the video, for us, is great, Thanks for not forgetting about us beginners (and we're seniors as well) and finding lower cost drones that have lots of important as well as fun features. Thanks.
Totally the Bugs 5W, which is on the way to my home now. Happy Dance! Very nice review!
Thank you, got one yesterday and watching plenty of videos before I fly it.
I think this one moved to the top of my first drone wish list.
Captain Drone, Purchased this on your recommendation and WOW !! so far , so good! what a great Drone for the price! equally as important, it is a very smooth flyer and lots of fun; all of the fail safe modes work as they should (lot of trust in this aspect!) and once the rubber "gimble" loosens up, the video quality is quite acceptable, thanks for reviewing and pointing us in this direction................
Hi Capt Drone, it's been a while since I purchased this drone based on your reviews, which are in my opinion the best.
I wanted to let you know that I was flying over a small lake behind my house and I let the battery get to low and it landed in the lake and sank.
It was only 6 ft or so from the shore, so I was able to wade out and retrieve the drone. I let it dry out over night and it works perfectly, even the camera was fine. I thought it would have been destroyed by the water, but it has worked perfectly.
Thanks for your great reviews
Capt Randy
Your absolutely right Captain.
Thanks for the good review. I bought this last month and am waiting for it here in Sweden.
I bought one of these after watching your review, many thanks very happy with it (my first drone)
Chrome Nomad & Co Me too! Haha
I finally got the chance to fly mine today and it's perfect for what I needed. I don't do much video anymore and the photos from it are great. It doesn't fit in a fanny pack but that's ok too because I can just put it into my car. I'm very happy I came across this video. The photos are very clear and the color is very good.
So far I've taken photos of my home, my son's farm and today I got some shots at a car show I was part of and although I've had more expensive drones like the Q500 and the Spark, I really do prefer this one for just taking photos. It's easy to set up and fly and the app works great and it delivers really stunning photos for the price. It doesn't have any annoying software restrictions to worry about either. It's great for just popping up getting the shot and landing. It's great for web photos.
thanks for review - it is in my next wishlist . :)
I have just got one of these and for me it's best in class, I've already got some great photos from it. The fact you can alter the camera angle is a game changer for me as I love Birds Eye Views.
really happy with the pics I'm getting with this drone as well
@@charleybarley914 hey guys, I'm between X5 and Bugs 5W. I'm mostly interested in the camera, any advice on which is better in taking stills? thanks!
@@AlexisPapadimitriou I have the X5 and the stills are very good(for a 150 dollar drone.
Alexis Papadimitriou the camera quality is terrible compared to drones like zino or even dji entry level ones. After purchasing this and a few other drones, I’ve learned that spending money on these cheap drones isn’t worth it. It’s best to get a drone with at least two axis gimbal and a decent camera.
Fly time is good or na
After looking at a lot of reviews I bought this as my first drone (I am 69 years old so lat starter ) First lesson: noob+JJRC Epic +indoors= bloodshed. Naturally the drone wanted to hit something and to keep it from tearing up the props I grabbed it. wow those blades are sharp!!! so after I got all the bandages applied I went outside and tried it. Being an noob I used it in GPS mode to keep from loosing it or killing someone. I was the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles and near major intersections. Once I did all the calibration I hit the take off button and up0 it went then hovered. Being new I did not know what headless mode meant but soon found out and it is interesting. I didn't do any of the fancy stuff like follow me. The AP is in metric but I could do a round rule of thumb to figure out height. I didn't fly more than about 150 away horizontally. I was very surprised that the video is pretty decent. Like with Capt'n drone it was a windy day and you can tell by the way the picture tilts. Once I get decent flying I will step up to a drone with 3 axis gimbal for video stability. JJRC makes a 4k X5 and you can get the 4k camera for about 69 dollars so a cheap way to upgrade the video on the Epic. It flies exactly like in the review and I was impressed how it sounds like a million angry bees. It comes with the battery shown but I also got 2 additional 7.6 volt batteries at 2450 mah so should have plenty of flying time. One note. The 7.6 volt battery and charger are slightly different than the 7.4 volt. The 7.6 charger has 2 plastic pins and the battery has 2 sockets for the pins. the 7.4 battery does not have this and if you charge the 7.4 in the 7.6 charger you will break the little pins though it can be done. Best way is to get a charger for each battery. I think this is lots of drone for a beginner and not too expensive.
One thing about gas engines is they stop when you get your hand in the prop. With electric it just keeps on cutting.
Great noob review. Mine is on the way
I just "found" one of these Epik drones unopened and never flown in the back of my dedicated drone closet! I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin if our unrelenting wind will ever cease long enough to get it into the air. You are right in that it looks like the JJRC X18 (Bugs 3 Pro). I just noticed that my Epik might be a little bit newer. The camera is 2k and the propellers are not quick release. The silver thumb screws are purely decorative and the propellers are held on by 2 screws. Sorry, rambling. Anyway, should be fun! Thanks for sharing 4 years ago...lol.
You are very entertaining sir. I came here to research some cheap drone stuff to try out; totally new to this. As far as content producers go, you are very good and very entertaining. This is definitely your calling.
Awesome, thank you!
Not sure how you do it your video's are so much better than other people's content. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that!
Great drone, and great video bro. I hope I can buy this quad soon.
Wow what a amazing drone. Love it
Captain! Thank you very much for yet another great drone review! This looks like a very nice little drone, and I do like the silver color the manufacturer chose! This would be a great GPS stabilized drone to introduce beginners to drone flying. In addition, it comes with a couple of basic autonomous modes. Looks like a great value! Thanks again! P.S. I purchased a Captain Drone hoodie, a couple of shirts, and of course, a coffee mug! Being a “Fanboy” of the Captain Drone channel, I can’t wait to get them (lol)....
Wow! Thanks for the purchase!
CAPTAIN DRONE You are welcome! Love your videos!😃🛩
FANTASTIS
I just purchased one of your cool mugs...I also 'subbed' a couple of weeks ago. Kudos on your videos...
Thanks Thomas!
Watching and learning in The Bahamas :)
Seems to be very cool.👍
Hey Captain Drone, Just purchased this after checking out your reviews; might seem a little strange however I am hoping this will be my "relief" Drone !!! something I can fly inside when the weather / wind is not suitable and on the other hand, muck around with ; risk free when the Elements line up !!!!
thanks Captain Drone i appreciate you & really like your channel...Keep up the good work young man...
Thanks Craig!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Captain drone sir::" well I got to make a choice here I'm interested in the mjx RC bugs 4w or the jjpro X5 epik now out of those two I need your help with making a decision, and the phone I'm using is a Galaxy S4 so almost 7 years old will that run either one of them... will I still get the distance out of it this is going to be one of the best drones I've ever had, and the first one with brushless motors... When I had before was five of the Sima xh series they almost look like the Phantom 3 that size but they like the fall out of the sky without warning and that was big size toy graded nothing like these I want to order them today so I found the bugs 4w for 225 with the blue top on the black drone for 225 and 175 for the jjpro X5 with three batteries also with a case have you have these both already so being my first to me professional drone out of those two which one should I shoot for sir and also will my phone be okay the Samsung Galaxy S4
Great video. Yet another good beginner drone. They should come out with a lens that doesn’t have a wide angle to get rid of the fish eye look. Did see some jello as well. Still a good beginner drone
I saw this in BLACK today, but 18$ more than cheapest grey model (on different site). really nice looking tho.
Great review👍💪
R/C SAYLORS TOLD ME YOU WERE GREAT,Im going to take part on your videos,Like to to the Zino reviewed.
I just subbed...thanx for your time and info. Looks like me and a friend will be picking this unit up.
Welcome to the channel!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798...Thanx, Steve.
I like it. Very interesting for the price.
Thank you .You save me!!!!
Pretty cool for a first quad. Good for kids with the GPS etc. Good fun. Cheers for the vid. :)
Yup, very fun quad to take out to the field.
Thanks ...capt.
Just ordered one
Great channel, just subbed 👍, nice work.
Thank you and welcome to the channel.
Nice review brother👍
Thanks 👍
Ce l'ho da circa un paio di settimane, che dire è un prodotto validissimo l'unica pecca è la stabilità della cam.
Vibra parecchio ma devo dire che io ho apportato anche una modifica che forse l'ha appesantita troppo e quindi sono aumentate le vibrazioni.
Ho aggiunto le antenne a 5 Ghz esterne a fungo per aumentare la portata del WIFI, ma non è stata una mossa azzeccata infatti la portata è sempre limitata ma le vibrazioni sono aumentate.
Per il prodotto in se è molto valido soprattutto se uno si avvicina da neofita a questi oggetti volanti.
Il fatto di poter limitare la distanza e l'altezza da più sicurezza a chi come me ha provato la paura di perdere un drone perchè vedi che si allontana sempre di più e tu non puoi fare nulla e andando in palla peggiori solo la situazione.
Voto del prodotto sicuramente 9/decimi ma solo perchè i filmati vibrano, mentre per le foto sono molto ben definite e nitide, se i filmati fosserostabili avrei dato 10/decimi anche rapportato al prezzo.
Acquistatelo senza paura di sbagliare.
Nice video
A friend to me asked me to buy a drone as christmas gift to his daugther so i bought this. Vinter here in sweden but im longing to try this when spring comes
I live in the Yukon in Canada. I have flown (for short times, 8 min top) in down to minus 23 celcius. No problems.
I just purchased the jjrc epic 5 came with 2 batteries only 159 dollars i have the jjrc pro hax drone its super nice ipurchssed the jjrc pro hax drone 3 for 220 dollars 3 year's ago i hope I'll enjoy the new jjrc epic 5 I just purchased last week have not took it out because the wind is gusting around 40 miles per day can't it out it's too windy I would blow it away from me and there goes a 18pomph can't wait until ever take it out after this weather in can't wait to fly it
A good gift for my brother
TOTOF 91 I'm certain he'd enjoy it. Heck, even I enjoy flying this drone!
I got this one.. Super ❤️❤️
I've got a chance to get one of these for a good price. I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger.
I've been exploring other capabilities of this drone. I found out that it will work with older phones. It also will take photos and video at the same time. I've taken photos while doing video. The app also allows for a split image compatible with one of those cheap VR headsets that a phone can be used in. This is a LOT of bang for the buck.
I got me the job rc the jjrc pro has and I luv it thanks to you I have therg÷ jjrc epic 5luvthe dronegotgot the holy stone 120d just wanted to thank you for all your help have told me what too but I have a big collection thanks again Mike holden out of North Carolina said that thanks again beautiful workb
I ordered the 4k camera and if it doesn't rain today will check it out.
the 4 k camera did not work. When I remved it from the drone all the pins came out of the connector :/ anyone have a close up of the 4 k camera connector so I can see where the pins go?
Yes i'm to go buy jjpro
This is actually something I am looking for , would have been nice if it had an SD-Card and at least an OPT-FLOW sensor , but I love the idea that I can remove the camera. I want something I can fly by sight . this is also convenient if difficult neighbours complain about privacy , so they have no excuse if it does not have the camera , plus it is lighter without it .
Hey CD thanks for giving us the review. I bought this as my first drone and love it.I have a question when I play the video back it is slightly slower than when shot is this something I can change?
Nice review CD. Camera looks like it skews a bit to the blue side of the spectrum.
The new Bugs5w 5G with 4k camera, Black with two 2420 mAh batteries is $12.00 more vs this with the 1080P camera, two 1800 mAh batteries and a bag, only in Lt Gray..think I'll go for the Bugs 5w
Tanks for all the awesomes videos you do captin... Keep going
Thank you! That is very much appreciated.
We have just started a month of boring lockdown here in England till Dec 2nd , I just sent my drone up 275 feet to watch the fireworks going of from various gardens as it’s Guy Fawkes night here, I got a google pixel phone with a big screen and it’s great keeps the picture, annoyed cos I was going to watch the Turkish Grand Prix Live Sunday week at my sisters, cos of the Lockdown I cant.
I like the drone good price and the camera is not bad 👍😉👌🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇧🇷
Great vid Captain many thanks 👍🏼
Just got mine and so far so good!
Is there a battery charger I can buy that charges two at a time and quicker please?
That is something I don't know. I have seen people buy double battery chargers for MJXR products. Perhaps check eBay for such an item.
Great channel! Just bought one of these babies and I was wondering what applications you recommend and a random beginner tip
Thanks
No tips other than have fun. This drone is a great drone to learn on.
Ordered mine the other day I'm patiently waiting for my first drone
Superb... I'm getting one. Hey does this one have trims for left right forward and backwards?
Shouldn't need it being a gps drone.
And if you're hungry, this little flyer produces enough Jello at satisfy almost anyones appetite.
Please make a video with L109 pro drone.
Hello dear, between the x5 or b5w, which one do you think is better in terms of fpv distance?
Balance the props on this guy if you get vibration. Mine were worse than on a bayangtoys x16. Once balanced this girl is even nicer. Awesome bird, I am super glad I got it.
How to balance the props?
SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you & welcome to the channel.
#like525 I'm thinking about the XK X 800. the X 5 looks great. For me it's nessaserry to have GPS on a machine with that much power and range. Great camera.
Hey Captain, I purchased this Drone and its all good as you have reviewed however there is a "trick" for capturing better video !!! I am going to call it "Drift Droning" !!! in no / minimal wind you can set the Drone up to film the point of interest and then turn GPS off!! the Epik (and Bugs equivalent 5W) will simply drift smoothly and capture amazingly stable footage !!! have you tried this ??(if not could make for a good follow up vid!!!) Cheers Julian
That is an old filming trick we did back in the days of the DJI Phantom 2. Sometimes it can be very effective.
july 26 2020 Just ordered one with a 2k camera and an extra battery. Price was reasonable and I got a birthday soon so I have an excuse.
Lol Wonder if the ant is really like the tabs on a keyboard. Will make it easy to pickup since there is no handle
Thanks Captian! Your review helped in my decision to buy this one and love it except for the charge time on the batteries...do u know of any third party battery charger that will reduce that LONG charge time with the cheap included one?
Yeah 5 hours is pretty damn long
One of the best review video sir. Thankyou. I wonder if it will be delivered to me without any custom issues, as here in India there are strict regulations for drones. I had earlier ordered JJRC H49 drone, which came to me after clearing the custom issues after a month. This also should come as it is under 500gm in weight... Let's see
I can't say if customs apply to your area, but in Canada if I ship by courier I get charged customs. If I ship the slow way by boat/postal, I don't get charged customs.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I just downloaded the Govt rules and regulations pdf file, a whole lot of stuffs with 20pages... This model will be checked by customs thoroughly as it is above 250gms, I was wrong to think that drones upto 500gms are relaxed. No, upto 250gms are only...It falls under Micro drone category in my country. Will be seized if imported without DGCA approval. Very disappointed you see at last. The features of this drone was very good at this price point.
Anyways please suggest me few good drones with more or less same features within 250gms in weight.
Hello Captain Drone, excellent review! I have always loved your reviews. I’m from Richmond Hill, Canada and I’m wondering which field\park are you flying your drones at? Also, if there is a place close by me where I can fly my drones too?
Hello. I'm flying on the outskirts of Ottawa. Sorry, I don't know your area. As long as you don't fly over or near people or moving cars or neighbors homes or near airports your fine.
CAPTAIN DRONE, thank you for your quick response and Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey CD, when you have these sunglases on, you looks similar to Horatio Caine:)
Ha ha, pretty cool!
I have purchased this drone and love it except for battery life is half of what is advertised, more like 9 or 10 minutes not 18 minutes.
I go buy this drone for my brother birthday
You mentioned not to move the lens if it's not on. You should make a video, dos and don'ts of dji drones. Or just drones. Would be cool
What's the video stabilization on this thing like?
I just picked one of these up (2k model with the LiHV bats) to dip my feet into the drone realm (RC aircraft flyer circa 1990s). This little guy is a great fun flyer. However, the video shot straight to SD card, has a really bad watercolor/oil painting look. Very bright flying day with some cumulus. Is this a known issue with a budget camera? Maybe having a hard time focusing with the light and built in exposure? It almost feels like pixel stretching the 1080 to get the 2k? Any idea? PS thanks for the in depth reviews!
Witch drone should i buy jjpro x5 or sjrc f11?
What color does the charger flash when the batteries are full?
One of my motors quit on me,,,does it have separate esc” for each motor or does it have just one main board controlling the all motors....
I would guess it has separate ESC because it has a feature that if one motor gets blocked, the motor shuts off while the others keep running. It is the same drone as the MJXRC BUGS 5w.... you could ask MJXRC that question.
Here's a question. When you turn the controller off and the drone begins RTH, does it come back to where it originally took off or where the controller was at the time of disconnect?
It returns to where it took off from.
Do you think this compares at all to the SPARK? I was considering the SJRC S70W and SPARK, with SPARK getting the nod, but this seems to be in the middle. I'm still thinking SPARK, but hoping the price will come down when the SPARK PRO comes out...
This is a very different drone from the Spark. The Spark has a gimbal for stable video, this one does not. The Spark has many more flight features than this one. This is an under $200 drone that is great for people getting into the hobby and want something more than a toy drone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hey Cap, I believe that I heard you said it has a gimbal. Which one is right?
@@chrisskywalker6079 You may want to watch the video again. No gimbal.
That looks suspiciously like my Bugs 5W..
Great review. Could I connect to drone with my 802.11n 5Ghz smartphone ?
You need 802.11ac to connect.
Hi Captain. I am hesitating between JJPRO X5 and SJRC F11. Which one would you recommend?
hi captain drone make a video on eachine e511 new drone.. updated version of eachine e58...waiting for that
Maybe Banggood will send me one for review.
Hola,puede grabar video y sacar fotos sin movil?gracias
Hi this is the first drone I've ever bought can't seem to get it to connect with the controller
Any help would be appreciated
try to follow the step-by-step guide
STEPS:
1. TURN ON DRONE (wait 10 seconds)
2. PICK UP CONTROLLER. HOLD RED BUTTON DOWN ON CONTROLLER AND TURN ON CONTROLLER AT SAME TIME.
3. THE CONTROLLER AND DRONE ARE NOW ONE.
This is in the instruction manual but not written as simple as I just wrote it.
I got the 2k version. I like it a lot.
Have you found a faster way to charge yours? My 2k version is coming in today, I’m excited.
@@nicktimm5501 I got the 2 battery charger but it didn't seem to charge them faster. It's a nice drone, but be sure to change the propellers if anything happens to them. I didn't and I had a prop fly off. Still a great drone though.
Sean's DIY & Reviews awesome thanks! Which of those two battery chargers did you get? Does it charge them both at the same time? And also is it really around 3 hours like they said? Sorry, a lot of questions, I’m eager 😁
@@nicktimm5501 I got the "YouCute" charger. I think it was designed for the 1800 mah battery but seemed to work and then top it off on the provided one. I just checked and they have the OEM one now: amzn.to/2Y5Dk5o
This is the one I got, but I'd probably go with the above if I could have. amzn.to/30fY6ls
Sean's DIY & Reviews awesome I appreciate that!
How a maximum of the distance drones
Is this the same as the JJRC X5?
Great video just got one is there another way to charge the battery faster.......
Great review!!!!👍👊
You'd need a Lipo Battery charger where you can set the number of amps used to charge.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks man!!
I was looking at a venom 3 charger is that good enough or over kill because I have other batteries also...
Just bought this but with a 2k camera and 2400mah batteries! Just waiting for decent weather to fly. I've never flown a drone 🤷♂️
Can you pick a camera and betteries?
I think it's just the new model? I bought it on Amazon for $169
I cannot find how to fit new propellers ?
I wonder why no rechargeable controller?
Hey CD, very good channel. I watched almost all your vids, very informative. I bought my X5 a few weeks ago. Now my cam is upside down, how do I rotate it please.
The setting is probably in your APP.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, I'm going to double check
hello; nice video.
when asking an RTH, do the drone come back at the altitude where it is or it ascend to a fixed altitude and then come back?
thank you.
It rises to a certain altitude and then comes home.
I love your videos. You are really guiding me thru this beginning process. I am looking to purchase an entry level GPS drone for my son. He is only 10, but i dont want a toy drone. I want something that he can grow into and the reality is that I will use and learn on it as well. The two drones I am looking at right now are JJPRO x5 Epik and the Eachine E511s. I watched your reviews on both. Do you have a recommendation between these two?
For a 10 year old I'd go with the Bugs 2SE or JJRC CETAS (same drone). For a 10 year old it would be difficult to have a long term drone. It will get broken or damaged so the BUGS is a good option.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Well, I say it is for him. But, its partly for me. I would like to have all the options that I want.
What do you think of the GPS epic 5
Iallready have the jjrc pro hax drone got it over 3 years ago what's your opinion on buying the jjrc epic 5 just wanted to bo if you recno,d⁶
Hi Captain Drone, Thanks for the advice on this drone as a great beginners drone. I got one and love it. That said what can I do to improve the FPV? It tends to freeze up at the worst times, and not more than 50 yards away. Thank you for any help, from anyone.
It sounds like the drone video signal and your phone are not compatible (poor reception). It is a very old drone, so back in those days the video signal from the drone was very weak.
Thank you for your help.@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Is it just my setup/phone or is the ~0.5 second delay when flying with FP video normal for this drone? cos my old phone had a maaaassive video lag which didn't (mostly) disappear until I upgraded my handset
Low cost WiFi drones have lag to them when it comes to video transmission but it is nothing that makes a drone unflyable.
hello. one more time thank you for all yours very good videos ;)
in follow me mode , if you go up hill, does the drone follow in altitude too?
thank you.
Hello. This drone will not change altitude if you go up or down a hill. You must do that with the joystick on the controller.
AT 7:36 you close the tk WITH THE GPS ON NOT OFF? correct? because if the gps its off the drone never come back....... i think,,,,,,,,,
The GPS was on in the controller. I do believe it makes no difference if the GPS is on or off when signal or low battery occurs, the drone comes back. The GPS on and off on the controller is just a flight mode for the pilot (i.e., the gps module in the drone has to continue to work or else each time you turn the gps off, then back on, it would have no idea where home is).
my phone is dual band, it supports 208.11n which is 2.4-5ghz i don't know if it would work, the real 5ghz is the 208.11ac, which i don't have.
Try to find some micro-usb (or supported port) 5GHz adapter. Maybe from micro-usb -> USB 3.0 -> 5GHz supported adapter.
