+T. Man Non of Bugs. Rather get Hubsan H501S X4 which have 5.8GHz FPV camera(long range, no latency and no breaks up to 500meters=1600feets). Camera have also software image stabilisation which reduce small vibrations. And Hubsan H501S X4 have also a lot of telemetry. (Y)
Thanks for doing this test. After seeing your results (not as advertised), I've crossed this aircraft off my wish list. The old adage -- you get what you pay for. Looks like a $350 DJI Spark is still the only under-$400 dependable waypoint camera ship (works as advertised).
You'll need to add another hundred dollars to get a controller. In the $400 price range, the Spark is controlled at short ranges via your phone only as a selfie drone. ruclips.net/video/1dpBKNbrbi0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/mjDRhfRXJ0k/видео.html
@2:07 Do you happen to know what the Max Flight radius does? It's default value is set at 5. There is already a Max Flight Altitude & Flight Distance. I was hoping that was a way to control the POI radius and was hoping maybe that was what this setting did.
When I watched the first review of this multirotor, I was quite disappointed with the fixed camera picture quality as I own a Bugs 2w and the picture quality on the Bugs 5w looked similar, but now after watching this second review, the picture quality seems much better which is what I am more interested in rather than the other new added features on this multirotor and also having the proprietary battery is in my own opinion, a disappointing factor but in saying that, it is still a great upgrade from the Bugs 2w, I will watch more reviews as I am still considering buying it, keep up the good work QC101...
I dream about long range drone flying!!! Only problem is i have spent over 500$ on drones that have just flew away!!! My goggles are used and just do not work that good!! And my 1st kid will be born any week now!! So i have to take a break from the hobby!! I will still fly the drones i have but i can not spend any more or my wife will kill me!!! F.P.V. is so much fun and i can not wait to get new goggles so i feel comfortable flying!! Thanks for all the good review's!! In a way watching those drones fly away got me into watching real drone review's!! Wish i would have watched a review on the grasshopper f210 rtf from gearbest!! I wouldn't have wasted over 300 on it and would have got the Qx7 like i did when the grasshopper flew away!!!!!!!!!! GREAT REVIEW & GREAT CHANNEL!!!! 👍😀👍
DRONE review man You should switch to indoor tinywhoop FPVing. That way if you have a flyaway you will be able to find the drone. Unless of course you live in a really big house.
You are lucky it is only your wife that wants to kill you, what about the other people or property that your run away drones may have fallen on, here in New Zealand CAA rules state line of sight (LOS) and other regulations when flying.
When you say '5g wifi' that denotes 5.8mhz on the ISM band. It does not have it's on 5ghz freq. 5.8ghz allows more bandwidth, that's why video looks better, but usually has shorter range since it's directional and has more LoS (Line of Sight) issues than 2.4.
5G refers to 802.11ac "fifth generation" WiFi, with previous four generations being 802.11 a, b, g, and n. Although it should not be confused with fifth generation 5G phone data networks (a completely different thing). 5.8Ghz FPV is usually reserved for analog video signals such as for FPV racing drones. But here's a breakdown on how phone's from different countries use the 5Ghz bands for WiFi www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=41265525&postcount=226
》 Your reviews are good. 》 Your shirts always awesome! 》 The video quality of your reviews are good. 》 The sound quality of your reviews is honestly just terrible. 😭
Question: when you lost FPV at distance... and began to come home, what if you closed the App.... and then restarted it?? Would the FPV come back? Also, how long does it take to fully charge the Batteries? And can you get a aftermarket charger to work with it? Love your reviews ! Tks. In Advance. Joey.
I’m confused ,,I need to order a motor for the 5w,,,the manual says it’s a 1500kv motor,,I contacted blomiki about it they kept saying the motor they have is a 1800 kv. Motor and it will be the one for the 5w,,as advertised. I’ve asked several times but they say the 1800 is the one I’m starting to think it was a typo in the manual,,,do have any info on it? Can you run this motor with the ones I originally have which states 1500 kv...I don’t want to make a mistake and put the wrong motor in,,,,,love your reviews,,,,look forward to more...thanks a million....TAZZZZ
Hey Quadcopter brotha man I got me one of these for $40 brand new in the box on a local buying/selling app.. I was skeptical but I went to buy it from the seller and man.... Best flier I've had man! I love it. I was gonna get a syma x8hg on eBay for $49.99 which isn't bad but.. damn I'm glad I found this puppy for $40. I've finally gone brushless!!! Hahahhaa...... I did good 😁 next... An airplane! Heh... Hope all is well. Peace brotha man.
I know you reviewed this little drone about 2 years ago, but I still have a question about it, how did you go about downloading the area that you were going to fly in? Thank you in advance. Joey
Some phones won't let you connect to your phone's data network when using WiFi. Before connecting to the drone, open the app by itself and open the waypoint map. See if your data plan will open it. If it does, it should automatically save it to your phone's cache. Thus it will remember the map when you connect to the drone.
Hi. Were you able to play your recorded videos on the mini sd card thru the video storage in the bugs go app? Because clicking the video would show no play option but only delete and download file option..? Thanks
The video file is stored on the SD card. There is no option to stream the video. To play it, you must first download the video, either to your computer or phone.
Oohh I see, it would be great if we could stream it first so that we will know if the video was worth downloading to save storage...like the ones stored in the phone thru the app...
Christopher H. Yes the controller said 30% left...i was wandering about that. Manual sais 20 mins flight time i think. Would be good to test it. And it sais return to home when flat, which is why it didnt return...
Hello Q101..I love your detailed video on B5W. What type of video format do we use when we format a minimsd card? Can we watch videos recorded to the mini sd card thru the app? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Did you experience a sudden lowring of altitude from a short hovering during RTH? I have experienced a lot of times but not all the time. I am sure I have calibrated both the compass and gyroscope. I wonder if this is a factory defect of my drone since frequent experience of these unusual behavior would eventually damage the drone feets and the camera since it hits hard on the ground then bounces back up to about 4m then gradually lands.
@@epsonexxon1088 Could be you have a defective drone but I have found the Bugs 2C/W to have less stable altitude hold than my other GPS drones (Hubsan H501ss SJRCS70W etc.) It might have something to do with the Bugs barometer not having any porous foam over it to dampen fast pressure variations from gusty winds etc. If however your quad is just drifting down at throttle centered in calm conditions then trim the throttle up till it holds height.
@@theoztreecrasher2647 I have done all calibrations including the controller but still having this issue on sudden lost of altitude when hovering. I have changed the gps module since its first major crash at 30m which was not getting any satellites and it was very unstable. But the sudden decrease of altitude even in hovering and RTH still remains. Just yesterday I had a second major crash at 21m where the drone suddenly fell from the sky and its props were still rotating eventhough it hit our roof somit means it did not lose power in the air but what brought it down was unknown. Based on the screen video, i still had 22 satellites, 3bars of controller and drone power, and full bars wifi signal since i was only about 9m out...
@@epsonexxon1088 Ah that doesn't sound good! The barometer which controls the altitude hold (GPS has no input for this function) is on the main board I believe. So you may have a dry solder joint or crack in the board. Either can be hard to find. Try a jeweller's loupe and some gentle prodding/twisting and the best of luck.
Great video as always!! Never mind ERIC..LOL...JEALOUSY is a bitch!i would like to know how to get the maps(satellite view) Lucie waypoint flying though.Do you need service(connected to phone service) to get the map view?
Thanks for the review. Do you have any suggestions for a drone in the $150 to $200 range with 300m FPV range, 500m control range, 1080p, gimbal preferred, handles 10mph wind, batteries no more than $30 each. Thanks
Bugs 3 with 5.8ghz camera/tx/rx and or the Eachine Ex2h which is a bugs3 with altitude hold. Best bang for your buck and capabilities for anything you want to do with a drone. If not experienced I'd recommend the ex2h or bugs3pro , if experienced just get the bugs3. IMO not that you asked for mine lol.
I don't understand MJX why they are putting into drones those wifi 5G cameras which are absolutely not good. 5G cameras don't have long range, have a big latency and a lot of breaks and long time to recover back. While 5.8Ghz cameras have long range, NO LATENCY and just short breaks of statics. I don't see any sense of buying 5G drone in the same price range as 5.8GHz drones. For example, Hubsan H501S X4 is priced right now the same as MJX Bugs 5W B5W. But Hubsan H501S X4 have real FPV 5.8Ghz with which you can fly long range, with no breaks and without latency. This MJX Bugs 5W B5W looks to be disappointment again from MJX, the same as was Bugs 2 B2W and MJX B3H. :(
Hey quadcopter101, I'm looking for a drone to take on vacation to shoot some aerial footage. Do you have recomandations for a good camera drone under 150-200$? Preferably easy to carry, with fpv and 10+ minutes flight time or extra battery. I have experience flying drones. Love your videos!
Save your money and buy a dji spark. Believe me! These cheap gps drone suck. Just got my bugs 5w and I am not impressed The fpv range is less than 100 meters. The spark is work waiting for night and day.
Hello, regarding the headless mode, can we reset the headless mode direction during flight based on the direction of the drone? Or the headless mode if fixed on the direction when the drone first took off? So if example during take off at the north side then we fly the drone to the south side and then turned the headless mode, will the direction of the headless mode be inverted? Thanks
Headless direction is set at motor arming. You can only change it by disarming and then rearming with the quad pointing in the required direction. Rearming also resets the home point to the new point.
Hey quick question for you. I got my bugs 5w in and when I started flying it it shakes really bad almost as if it had a unbalanced blade or bad motor or something but no toilet bowling. I tried re calibrating it and it still did the same thing. Also the drone wouldn’t return to home even when I had 19 satellites and it was on gps mode and it was only out 90 meters out and 30m high. I had to walk out to the drone with the remote over my head repeatedly clicking return to home and after a good walk it did finally Recognize the command and returned to home.. On average I got 40 m of FPV anything over that it would just cut out and say aircraft not connected. My thoughts were it’s probably just a glitch or a lemon drone and I should return it for another one... What do you think? Or do you have anything I should try as far as troubleshooting goes. Thanks.
I'm sure that you tried this, but just to be sure... Did you try a brand new fresh set of alkaline batteries in the transmitter? As for the shakes, yes something sounds unbalanced or loose. Jiggle all your motors and propellers by hand to make sure that they are all securely attached.
Yes I did try brand new battery’s I I think I’m going to exchange it for another one. Unfortunately it took over a month to come in so now I’ll have to ship it back to them and they will send me a new one so I’ll probably have it in about 2 months .. haha thanks a lot for a quick response and awesome channel by the way.
Hi can you help.. When I fly past 200 metres I lose fpv.. that's fine I can still see it so I fly by line of sight but when I watch the footage later off my sd card the video freezes when I go out of range! The range shouldn't affect the sd recording Should it? Your recording is perfect
I can not say that i am impressed with the video quality i also can clearly see jitter going on as well. I really hoped that the video quality was better. How about the picture quality?
Hi quadcopter 101, I just have a quick question. What is a good quad to buy if i'm going on vacation soon and i want a nice arial photography drone without spending over 300 dollars. I am very experienced and already have a gopro so if one could hold a gopro that would be cool to put that to use!
I have a problem with all my DRONES!! like my mjx b2w, my first flight was 14minutes now after 6 flights my b2w only gives me 6minutes flight time and the battery charging suppose to be 5hours now it's 3hours, idk what i did wrong, i cool down the battery first before i charge it and for storage i charge the battery for 50%.. HELP!. Sorry for my bad english
The stock charger provided with the B2W is not very good. Recommend a better balance charger. This is the one that I use most s.click.aliexpress.com/e/clwhmBMk
If you can find the room to fly you're golden, lol. No the Wifi within most cities will cause interference. Most of these guys have endless miles of trackless desert. If you live in SF or any metro-area good luck. I can't fly longer than 25' unless I want to fly over the ocean.
Yes, but 5Ghz repeaters don't really seem to improve range or performance like the 2.4Ghz Mi repeater. I don't think that they include the signal amplification capability like the Mi repeater. See my two attempts with 5Ghz repeaters here ruclips.net/video/z2P_PCQwk9Q/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/a-sB_eDMf_k/видео.html
I got it, but it was a disappointment. The non antenna version did not provide much improvement. I also purchased an antenna version, but it was not really a repeater. Instead it was a USB 5G WiFi receiver for laptops. Comfast does have an antenna repeater. But no one seems to have it in stock anymore, possibly due to defective design.
Got to admit watching this review QC101, the picture quality of the fixed camera looks better than the same camera on the Bugs 2w and yet the specs are the same, still the proprietary battery is a con but still a very capable drone, another great review...
Now, that was convincing. But, to illuminate my point: I really enjoy these videos and also most comments. Its entertaining and often I learn something new. But the more of these "first" posts pop up and get encouraged, the less interesting it gets. Though in one aspect you're right Mike, it not a big deal. Peace!
Congratulations. You were the first to say first, and who had not already previously won a shoutout. You win a shoutout in a future QC101 video. Again, congratulations!
Find the B5W here and *save $47 with coupon HY47MJB* goo.gl/BGD5XW
Should i get the Buds 2W or the B5W. which is the better drone ?

I was thinking that myself. Those drones that disappeared had to come down somewhere. A F210 grasshopper racer falling on my head would be a bad day.
You can also use indoor FPVing to keep an eye on the baby! Then your wife will have to support your hobby. Win win

Sam like Bugs 2 B2W still camera shake, even though Bugs 5 B5W already equipped axis gimbal camera .
It is not a stabilized gimbal. Just a remote controlled up down camera lens.

Hi QC101. Just a quick question, have you tried this bugs 5w with the WiFi repeater as mentioned towards the end of the video?
I've tried several 802.11ac WiFi repeaters. Unfortunately none of them provided any significant improvement in range performance.
@@Quadcopter101 Thanks for the info QC101. I'm trialing something else with this B5W, hopefully it will give me much more FPV range.

I had to walk out to the drone with the remote over my head repeatedly clicking return to home and after a good walk it did finally Recognize the command and returned to home..
On average I got 40 m of FPV anything over that it would just cut out and say aircraft not connected.
My thoughts were it’s probably just a glitch or a lemon drone and I should return it for another one...
What do you think?
Or do you have anything I should try as far as troubleshooting goes.
Thanks.
I'm sure that you tried this, but just to be sure... Did you try a brand new fresh set of alkaline batteries in the transmitter? As for the shakes, yes something sounds unbalanced or loose. Jiggle all your motors and propellers by hand to make sure that they are all securely attached.
Yes I did try brand new battery’s I I think I’m going to exchange it for another one. Unfortunately it took over a month to come in so now I’ll have to ship it back to them and they will send me a new one so I’ll probably have it in about 2 months .. haha thanks a lot for a quick response and awesome channel by the way.
Hi can you help.. When I fly past 200 metres I lose fpv.. that's fine I can still see it so I fly by line of sight but when I watch the footage later off my sd card the video freezes when I go out of range! The range shouldn't affect the sd recording Should it? Your recording is perfect
The range shouldn't affect the recorded video. Have you tried a different SD card. Make sure that it's a Class 10 card.
I can not say that i am impressed with the video quality i also can clearly see jitter going on as well. I really hoped that the video quality was better. How about the picture quality?
1080p frame grab from the video.
good drone 👍👍👍
nice test..wil be great to drone giveaway ^^
... And the quality of the camera? Is it better than the bugs 2w? Poor info about the camera..
This is part two of a two part video. Here is part one discussing the camera and other features of this drone ruclips.net/video/bcs9lEX1rA4/видео.html
Mantab mjx bugs 5w..
Hi quadcopter 101, I just have a quick question. What is a good quad to buy if i'm going on vacation soon and i want a nice arial photography drone without spending over 300 dollars. I am very experienced and already have a gopro so if one could hold a gopro that would be cool to put that to use!
Hubsan H501A bundled with the new HT011A controller ruclips.net/video/VUE7ur36qp4/видео.html
Quadcopter 101 Thank youuuu
Bugs3 H?
I do like the bugs.
I have a problem with all my DRONES!! like my mjx b2w, my first flight was 14minutes now after 6 flights my b2w only gives me 6minutes flight time and the battery charging suppose to be 5hours now it's 3hours, idk what i did wrong, i cool down the battery first before i charge it and for storage i charge the battery for 50%.. HELP!. Sorry for my bad english
The stock charger provided with the B2W is not very good. Recommend a better balance charger. This is the one that I use most s.click.aliexpress.com/e/clwhmBMk
Quadcopter 101 thank you! I will order this balance charger and ill update you when i receive and test the product.
Oh I guess that my ShoutOut is coming later
Don' worry, I didn't forget you. It's coming.
Quadcopter 101 oh ok
I'm curious how this apparatus works in the city?
If you can find the room to fly you're golden, lol. No the Wifi within most cities will cause interference. Most of these guys have endless miles of trackless desert. If you live in SF or any metro-area good luck. I can't fly longer than 25' unless I want to fly over the ocean.
Try with wk fi repeater
Can I use an 8-inch tablet in the control holder?
No, unfortunately that is too big.
Seems maybe the old bugs b2w works better
if u dont have any room for all your drones i got some extra space
I can’t get my camera to record only pictures. Can you help me please?
It is very important to stop the video recording before turning off your drone. Otherwise the video file will be corrupted.
Quadcopter 101
It’s not that just can’t get video camera started. I can take pics just no solid red on the camera button. Not any video
You have to first switch between camera and video mode by clicking on the camera icon just below the shutter button of the app.
Thanks for the help!
Currently i m giving my exams so i am unable to come first 😢
Almost the first to like Canada loves quad 101
Does the 5g wifi repeater works on this drone?
Yes, but 5Ghz repeaters don't really seem to improve range or performance like the 2.4Ghz Mi repeater. I don't think that they include the signal amplification capability like the Mi repeater. See my two attempts with 5Ghz repeaters here ruclips.net/video/z2P_PCQwk9Q/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/a-sB_eDMf_k/видео.html
So did you get the 5g Wi-Fi repeater?
Which one you prefer?
I got it, but it was a disappointment. The non antenna version did not provide much improvement. I also purchased an antenna version, but it was not really a repeater. Instead it was a USB 5G WiFi receiver for laptops. Comfast does have an antenna repeater. But no one seems to have it in stock anymore, possibly due to defective design.
Can u put an ak fp camera ??? Instead of the wifi ???
Sure. But for the price, why should you need to?
Got to admit watching this review QC101, the picture quality of the fixed camera looks better than the same camera on the Bugs 2w and yet the specs are the same, still the proprietary battery is a con but still a very capable drone, another great review...
Quadcopter 101 so I can use my fpv googles instead of the phone .unless u can connect to the camera to your googles can u ???
No you can not. This uses digital WiFi FPV.
Why did Qc101 said the waypoint is bad ?
I had problems getting Google Maps to work with the app in Waypoint mode. Notice the blank map screen when I was flying with waypoints.
Quadcopter 101 oh alright, Mjx is Constantly updating the Bugs Go so they should fix this after watching this video :)
hi
Just fpv stop looking at it
This thing is a toilet I ordered one anyway.
lol..
First again! Bow before me peasants:-)
Mike Cartwright stupid...
OOOH, Jealous....
No we wont child
Wow the kiddies are all eating their Cheerios today...
Now, that was convincing. But, to illuminate my point: I really enjoy these videos and also most comments. Its entertaining and often I learn something new. But the more of these "first" posts pop up and get encouraged, the less interesting it gets. Though in one aspect you're right Mike, it not a big deal. Peace!
