Gadget Inspector I have a question for you I am having intermittent GPS signal you get eight or nine satellites then you get zero satellite even as you get higher The satellite keeps dropping off could it be the GPS module in the bugs 5W that is failing
Thanks for all the full screen video, and for the shout out in the video. I believe it looks better than the BUGS 2W, but I guess we will have to wait until you do the side by side comparison to declare a true champion. Nice range test, getting out over 300 meters is fine for a toy quad. I only average 250 meters on the B2W, and my record is 350 meters. So this seems like a slight improvement. Thanks for retesting the Waypoints feature, it seemed to work well before you lost connection and it did a RTH. It’s a shame your battery went dead before you could do a close range waypoint test. You have a done a great job of reviewing the new B5W, taking a deep drive into all the things this drone can do.
Dude awesome camera footage. Thank you for displaying this MJX Bugz 5W capabilities because I just bought one and I think I am in love with this little so called beginner drone and for the price I couldn’t believe it. I have more expensive drones. In fact way wayyyy more expensive and they don’t even have half the features this little guy has such as orbit ,follow me and my all time favorite Waypoints. I have another drone call the AEE AP-11 and I think I paid 600 USD and this stupid drone has all the fancy GPS satellites but nothing to show for it except RTH which I forgot to mention my BUGZ 5 has also. Yea so This little guy is a keeper for me. The only Gripe I have is The FPV Range is extremely short they should of put a 5.8 GHZ antenna outside the camera humble instead they built it right inside the the camera housing which in tern cripples the FPV range. I saw other videos where some guys actually jerry rigged an antenna to the one inside the camera housing but it makes the drone look ugly like a real butcher job. Another gripe I have is the 7.4 or 2s lipo this thing has when indeed this cute little thing should of had a 3s or 11.1 lipo battery which makes it slightly underpowered but definitely not a dealbreaker. Other then that this drone in my eyes and opinion for the money and value you get has an overall 9 out of 10 rating.
Not too many reviews on this drone yet in the U.S. Thanks for the fair review. I went ahead and ordered in a unit, I just could not pass up the price. Let us know what you think on a battery hack. I think they went with this setup so it could power the camera and drone on separate circuits while using the same battery. I bet once you get into the battery it will have a single plug that channels out to the different slots. It would be interesting to see if a 5.8ghz camera like the OnePaa could be made to mount to this drones gimbal and be powered by the drones battery too. George.
Thanks for watching and commenting George, I appreciate it. I think you're going to like this one. Hopefully I've shown enough details for you. I think $150 is a great price point and it won't be that price for long, so good for you. You could totally put an All-in-One 5.8ghz camera with a little 3.7v lipo on this and use a monitor or goggles for more FPV range. I'm going to see if I can get a coupon code for the replacement batteries, because I definitely want at least one more and I know others will as well.
If you really want to take advantage of the full range of this quad, you can mount an all-in-one 5.8ghz camera on it and use a monitor or goggles. That way the FPV range will match the control range.
Gadget Inspector Can you do flight test on the Bugs B5w with a all-in-one 5.8ghz camera mounted. It will be interesting to see how it performs. Thanks bro.
Hey there. For some reason I haven't been getting notifications when folks reply to comments, so sorry for the delay. If I can find the time, I'll do that test if no one out on the Tubes has done it already.
Hey Bruce. Glad you're enjoying it. It's a good one to learn and grow with. Sounds like you're taking it slow which is the wise thing to do. Have fun with it.
Hi can you help.. When I fly past 200 metres I lose fpv.. that's fine coz I can fly it with line of sight but when I watch the footage on my sd card the video freezes when I go out of range! The range shouldn't affect the sd recording.. Your recording is perfect
I got a bugs 3 h from my daughter for fathers day. I fly plane and heli, cars, trucks, did lots of research. And picked the bug3h did all the calibrations. And flew in my house great I have a film me flying in house without my gopro, and flew great. Got my friends/family all together and still did the calibration in the road turned on my hero silver4 with a 128 gig sim set back start the motors stick up slow hover 5 foot then took to 25 feet after that I had no transmiter to the bugs3 h and it went full speed straight up and out of sight. Lost it never got to fly it. My daughter writes them. And they tell her he flew it in a tree. I never got to fly! Everything was charged. I have 5 other drones and I have a 3DR iris but wanted something fast. Liked your review of of bugs 3 and wanted attitude hold so other can fly with me. So I don't have a crashed drone from other hands. #MJX unfair, But I never got to fly it. I think they should make it right. Give me a bugs3H with a good camera and make it fair. I'm going to take a bite out of the business they have. What do you think? I'm a veteran RC hobbies.
Paul, I have never personally tested the Bugs 3H, and I steer clear of assessing drones I haven't personally flown. With that said, sometimes defective products do make it to the consumer (true for any product really) and that risk is greater when buying from offshore websites. It sounds like you're familiar with drones, so I won't pull the pilot error card on you. I would be mad too if I just bought something and lost it before being able to enjoy it. I would be livid. If where you bought it from won't do anything I can't blame you for no longer shopping there.
Looks like a pretty sweet drone. I went with the DJI Spark per your recommendation and it’s been great. I’m enjoying flying it around and taking some pretty cool pictures.
Hey GI, do you think if I took off the cam, and setup a go pro in its place, would it be strong enough for flight?. Probably shorten the flight time. BTW awsome knowledge.
It does have pretty powerful brushless motors, but I'm not real sure it could carry a GoPro. Something smaller like those flat Mobius Mini type cameras would work though.
Man, I definitely know the feeling. Sometimes they come fast but other times it takes so long I end up forgetting what's coming. Can't wait to see what you think of it.
I also got a Bugs 3 Pro coming, it just left Hong Kong a few days ago. By the way, did you get that low resolution issue resolved with TH-cam? I left several comments on that video but didn't get any replies. TH-cam's going through some subtle changes and sometimes replies/responses get lost in the cracks! Somedays, I have to go into the Creator Studio and click on "community" to see all the comments that guys are leaving but I'm not getting notifications for... bummer! Thanks bro, keep 'em coming. POW!!!
Oh yeah, I'm trying to get the Pro too 😉, you can do more tinkering with that one. I ended up deleting that first video altogether and reposted it...kind of a hassle and man did it hurt to click delete. I saw your comments but unfortunately it must have deleted all of my responses before you got them. I don't even have that Community tab yet, it must become available at some subscriber threshold I haven't hit. TH-cam has a few quirks for sure; a lot of subscribers don't even get video notifications even if they clicked the bell. I'm sure they'll get it all ironed out at some point.
Oh wow, I'm sure that hurt to have to delete & repost. When I watched it, you were well over 300 views. It's all good though, that bird is a hot topic and I'm sure you'll make it up soon. The Community Tab feature is being rolled out slowly, don't know how they picked who get's it first or not... for me it just popped up one day, but I like it. It's a quick & convenient way to reach out to your subscribers without having to post a new video... sort of like a Facebook post! Happy flying brother ("quadcopter brothers & sisters!") POW!!!
I think, especially when looking at the bar icon on the phone, that low battery action ( beeping and rth) is starting way too early. I will have took it up with mine whether that can be changed.
Could be. You know what I think happened on this day is the very high humidity. It was super thick. So, I've tested it on a windy day and on high humidity days and that's when I had the shortest flight times. Otherwise I'm getting 12-minutes or so. How long are your flights on average?
Unfortunately it won't work with the Bugs because the repeater uses 2.4ghz and the Bugs is 5.8ghz. They do sell 5.8ghz repeaters, but they're hard to find.
Good range test on this matter Gadget Inspector. Its a bit pitty that the Bugs does not work with earth (read: geocache) coordinates so you could define exactly where to fly on a map. Defining a waypoint the way it goes right now is a very nice option though. Subbed your channel and thanks for publishing these tests and findings.
Thanks for the sub Robby. I'm going to do another test of the waypoint function on a full battery. I want to see if it will actually compete the flight plan even if it disonnects from the controller. I think it disconnected in this flight because it hit its first LVC and was greater than 300-meters. If I don't do another video I'll probably just add a comment about it. Thanks again!
Flight times can vary based on a number of conditions, but yeah I was surprised by the short flight. It was incredibly humid that day though. I typically get about 12-minutes, but I definitely need to get another battery.
I Dig those legs on that thing. Anyway... Looks solid in hover, too. Camera looks very good to me. Now... a WiFi extender is often key to making these WiFi drones usable at distances that are acceptable to me. On another subject... You’re Cool, man! Always enjoy your quad videos!!
What's up BadChizzle!? I'm really liking this one. I just ordered one of those cheap portable wifi repeaters, but it will only work on 2.4ghz. I can't find any that use 5ghz for this quad. I'll keep looking though. Thanks for stopping by.
Good work G.I.! How would you compare photo snapshot quality to the B2W. It's hard to find actual photo specs but I did see somewhere that this can take an 8mp photo, true?
I honestly can't tell the difference between the two, but I filmed a comparison of the B5W and the B2W. I just have to edit the video. I'll put up side by side comparisons in that video. Advertised photo quality is 8MP. The photos look pretty good to me, but I don't have a way to corroborate how many mega-pixels it actually is.
Gadget Inspector Thanks for the info and I look forward to the B2W comparison video!! A little photo info... When you look at the file properties on a pc they'll be 2 sets of numbers you'll want to compare. Image size, for example 1920 x 1080. And then dpi (ppi) which can be anything... for example 96, 180 or 340
A little FYI on my question to you.. I emailed MJX and confirmed that the photos are 1920 x 1080 or 2 Megapixel. Deceptive on their part as the web brochure clearly advertises it as 8 Megapixel... smh....🙈🙉🙊
Gionni C It really is a shame that we have to be skeptical about how these drone companies market and advertise. They are better off just being honest. The photos actually look better than 2MP so they probably didn’t think anyone would notice. It didn't click initially about the 1080p translating into 2MP photos, so you're right. I hate when they do stuff like that. Good detective work by the way.
@@GadgetInspector FYI: I tested this with my Bugs 5W today and the waypoints flight will continue even if you lose FPV as long as you have not received a low battery warning and you still have a good connection with the transmitter.
Hello, I bought a C6000 camera. I want to operate the C6000 camera alone. I need an alternative application. Its application works as a drone + C6000. This is not working for me. I want to use it in rc car and want app advice for it. Just let the camera work. Thank you.
ok i'm binge watchin your channel for one more drone, this week i got the phantom 4, the mjx bugs 3h and a bugs 3 pro. after watching more videos i returned the 3 pro unopened. i think im going to put this 5w on my top 3 list to replace the 3 pro. i still have a nice refund to get something else. i like that clone backpack clone also.
My unscientific opinion is that the B2w is a little faster because it’s a little heavier. Once it gains momentum it may generate more speed. I think they both move pretty good though.
You want some Trees for a challenge you say? Come to SW Louisiana! ;) I take my Bugs2w straight up to 65-100 meters altitude before cruising around..I can usually keep a live feed signal to right at 300 meters, unless I get behind a tree..kills it every time..line of sight for me with good, polarized glasses right at 1000 feet on a good day...Happy Flying!
The polarized glasses is actually a great tip, thanks for sharing that. As long as my bird doesn't get stuck in a tree, I can deal with them 😉. And you're right, getting up in altitude also helps reception.
What is the resolution of the stills? Do you remember? Offhand I want to say it was 8MP, not sure..I've been searching a lot of Drones in the last month...
Bummer..I was hoping it would be a little higher than the Bugs2w..so the same cam basically, just moves 90 degrees...I do like the Orbit feature, follow me, & the way points..Now I'll have to re-think between this & the Bug3 Pro...decisions, decisions..
It appears that although a great drone the camera actually only shoots 1280x720 video and not 1080p and a mear 1136x640 photo's, so less than 1 megapixel
I can not make the "BUGS GO" application work for my white screen 5w bugs with Chinese writing. To date, no one has been able to give me an answer to my problem (some of my faults have my problem!) I sansung SM- J530F and with the bugs 2w (which I lost!) Worked very well. Can you give me an answer? hello and good evening Bruno (PISA) (ITALY)
Dimua Belka yes don’t think cause this price cheap drone is crap I haven’t b2w over a year no problem I even fly in the city I really trust this drone now I just got my b5w and b2se
Wow great renge test!! This is a really cool drone for the price!!!!!. GREAT FLYING & GREAT CHANNEL!!!! 👍😀👍 Thats so cool you can tell it where to fly and just sit back and enjoy the view!!!! Hope you are staying cool its a hot one today!!!!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm planning on getting the Anafi. I would to get both, but I can't afford it. I'm really liking the Anafi though and the price point of $699 is great. If/when I get it, you can expect a thorough review.
solen 1 b5w is very reliable u will find more flyaway on TH-cam then any bugs drone that’s fact I rarely find flyaways with mjx but Dji all over youtube
👀IMPORTANT NOTE: In the video I stated that you can't stop RTH; I was referring to stopping it using a stick command. On many GPS drones if you give it a throttle command or forward/backward stick input RTH will cancel. You can obviously stop RTH by pressing the RTH again on this quad.👀
It didnt return to home because it lost connection, It returned because when the first Low Voltage kicks in, you are flying over 300 meters ,outside the low battery geofence ,thats why it returned to home and this video confirms that you might have a defective battery
You know what, you might be right after I watched this again. It was hard to tell while I was flying and filming because it also lost connection from the drone at the same time, but I think you're right. I still don't think the battery is defective though. It was extremely humid and there was several minutes of full pitch flying. I'm planning on getting another battery, so I guess we'll know for sure then.
If you set up a dual band (2.4ghz/5ghz) wifi repeater plugged into a USB power bank, you may get better wifi FPV range. Fellow youtube channel (Quadcopter 101) shows several vids on how to extend RC quadcopter wifi range using the Xiaomi Mi wifi range extender.
Yep, I haven’t had a chance to try a repeater yet. They’re fairly inexpensive as well. Probably not a bad accessory to have in the toolbox. That may be a good idea for a part 5 video 😉.
Still trying to find a good 5g repeater. The only ones I have seen are offered through Aliexpress and I have never bought from them. I'll keep looking though.
Good review once again. Just disappointed in this one. They really should've stuck with the same receiver that is in the b2. I want range and a gimbal on the cheap, Mjx! Bummer. 😕
Just tested out my bugs 5w, Im disappointed, Whenever I activate return to home, it descends way too fast, Which causes it to enter vortex ring state, And losing its balance and smashing onto the ground. And I return to home again, Its descending fast, But able to gain balance, Return to home again ! Boom, Another smack on the ground. Come on mjx, Just slow it down !!
I have become accustomed to a very small percentage of people making unfounded accusations like this. I usually don't respond to slander, and I never delete comments unless racial slurs are used or when people just spam the comments with links and unnecessary stuff. Sometimes I leave the slurs though. I will also leave this slander up as well.
Oh and by the way, TH-cam has an algorithm that weeds out offensive comments automatically, so if some of your bad comments don't show up when you post them on people's channels, that's probably why. Blame TH-cam if you're looking for someone to blame there.
Sorry for the bad review they seem to be nice. I got a bad one but I want a new one to at least fly. I had 28 years of tattooing people from around the world. With a hurt back! Got surgery was fine. Moved to Florida. Started tattooing in my house! They set me up for a drug bust. I did not rat on anyone I was tattooing. I did not do the drug. But went down for it. A big drug dealer knew if I was in there I was not going to rat. And I had tattooed real big hitters, if I knew rats, l grew up NJ. They road to the pine barrings trees. In a trunk. But snitches get stitches, and then put in ditches. I grew up in knowing these people. Bikes, gangs, most gangs brands out in life, I tattooed dea, FBI, cia, cop, three star general, every walk of life, I'm a locksmith, woodworker, designer, I sew, I flew planes all my life, and my dad too. So I was young, we built the stuff we ran, there was not know RTR. We did it all. I flew choppers, I weld, stick, tight, mig, I'm a mill right I have a 1934 mill I fixed and run, I own a plotter and was selling windows all the time. Sandblast glass sell mug, car windows, murilas, add I was a ninja for 12 1/2 years, equal to 5 degree black. Master of weapons, made my own, chemistry, l fabricate, we owned a screen printing place I learned all my self, closed hurt we had a consignment store closed hurt, I live in a big house with salt pool, just had my great freind old age die in front of me, did not leave her side, hand feed her and gave her water by hand she went parilized in a total of 8 hour. Started with The tail and then each lim. One lag at a time. Now I'm hurting at the same time, I thought I had friends in life, but everyone used me for tattooing, I'm to hurt to tattoo closed Pauls Tattoos in plant city fl. 33566. My cell is 813-375-0637. I have not received not one friend come here or just call. Do you know what it like no to talk to no one, wife 32 years love her, but just freinds, so barely moving, can't lift alot, I just wanted a drone fast light, and did not need camera, my daughter bought me a nice one. And did all the reveiws and I got the bugs, flew it my house without camera, and flew nice, loved it it brought back some pathetic life in me. And then rain and wind, but I would still just look at it. And when all the wind was calm and no rain, I was told never fly in bad condtions. But I knew how to fly, so I got family here and we took it out side, put in middle of road, I started motors up stick, and stopped at 5 feet spun around took pic of family, turned back around and up to 25 feet just to see naborhood and sat there moved up a foot, and it just took off strait up. Way higher then 400 feet. I was telling everyone I was afraid because we are in plane runway turn around in air zones airspace. And I know I never go above 100.feet. Here, but bugs had no control. It beeped and still flew away, I lost it in the air. It was dangerous. If that would have hit a aircraft. And killed someone, but I see; the reviews on internet on bugs, I had a bad one. But I still want one I can fly, I just bad eletronics, I flew 8 channel heli, and it was not like I learned the wrong way. I did the 4 foot square and a foot and two feet off the ground, then I tryed sky viper in wind and I flew it like a champ, counting the wind swirls, thermal swirl, polits know what I'm taking about. And never crashed. I have a bad deal, MJX said they won't replace it if it was in a tree. If it was I would cut tree down. But it never came down. It was not wind, or anything I did. It was MJX gave me a broken drone, and I just want a gift back I should have never lost. If it was my error I would eat it. Do you know how many cars, trucks, boats, planes, helicopters I crashed in my error, alot, and no going after new from company, but this should be made right, if I had a guy in life that bought something and it was bad. I fixed it for them. I'm not trying to get something for free I want some happiness back I had. And I'm getting help. But they don't help. I need to TAttoo again, but when you able to do as much as me. And can't do nothing! I put all my batterys on storage charge. I'm not a beginner ask them to make it right. I built my own guitar and wound my own pickup, and I play Right handed I'm left, tattoo left, I play drums sax was learning, when you get hurt age 19 you find things to do. I did run a motor off of water, and I always knew electronics, build boards, but now I sit in a chair. No dirt bikes, I build motors big and small, I know tiny motors, I can rewind stators, I was told master of none, but 8 th grade education is a way of knowing. I had to master all before moving on, to the next. So people are wrong. But unable to do anything I have parlizing pain. But can fly drones. Lmao I don't under stand why they won't replace a legit reason. I'm fighting for disability do you know what its like to be on top of the world and lose everthing. Moved to Florida my wife asked the movers if they had theifs workers they said no, they weight the truck before and got to fl, the truck lost 800 pounds of toys and I had three of the same systems every game ever made. Tools, daughters had every board game made, 3000.00 bike, two, all my collections and I had a lot. But I have alot I got in fl. 8 dirt bikes four wheelers go carts. Trade for tattoos lots of guns, had 5 1911's one was 1,800 Dan wesson. 2000 each two desert eagles. Rifles, ars, shotguns, had to sell and make ends meet, sold my toyota celica GT 2001 nice 4'500. All because my back, and all I wanted was a little racer. Is that to much to ask.

Looks like a pretty sweet drone. I went with the DJI Spark per your recommendation and it’s been great. I’m enjoying flying it around and taking some pretty cool pictures.
Glad you're enjoying it. The price of the Spark is starting to come down, so I just might grab one as well. Really good little machine.
Nice video inspector,is there any special setting to google map works?
Nope, I didn't have to do anything special for the map to work.
Nice video as usual man, I like that bird!👊
Thanks Elvis.

love your videos keep up the great work buddy 👍👍👍
Thanks Martin marty. The encouragement is definitely appreciated.
does that lil map in the bottom left help find drone if its lost
I guess you could use it for that as long as the drone has power.
Great job Inspector!!! I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, it must be on a boat or something! hahaha! Thanks for sharing! -djsoulforce!!!
Man, I definitely know the feeling. Sometimes they come fast but other times it takes so long I end up forgetting what's coming. Can't wait to see what you think of it.
I also got a Bugs 3 Pro coming, it just left Hong Kong a few days ago. By the way, did you get that low resolution issue resolved with TH-cam? I left several comments on that video but didn't get any replies. TH-cam's going through some subtle changes and sometimes replies/responses get lost in the cracks! Somedays, I have to go into the Creator Studio and click on "community" to see all the comments that guys are leaving but I'm not getting notifications for... bummer! Thanks bro, keep 'em coming. POW!!!
Oh yeah, I'm trying to get the Pro too 😉, you can do more tinkering with that one. I ended up deleting that first video altogether and reposted it...kind of a hassle and man did it hurt to click delete. I saw your comments but unfortunately it must have deleted all of my responses before you got them. I don't even have that Community tab yet, it must become available at some subscriber threshold I haven't hit. TH-cam has a few quirks for sure; a lot of subscribers don't even get video notifications even if they clicked the bell. I'm sure they'll get it all ironed out at some point.
Oh wow, I'm sure that hurt to have to delete & repost. When I watched it, you were well over 300 views. It's all good though, that bird is a hot topic and I'm sure you'll make it up soon. The Community Tab feature is being rolled out slowly, don't know how they picked who get's it first or not... for me it just popped up one day, but I like it. It's a quick & convenient way to reach out to your subscribers without having to post a new video... sort of like a Facebook post! Happy flying brother ("quadcopter brothers & sisters!") POW!!!
I think, especially when looking at the bar icon on the phone, that low battery action ( beeping and rth) is starting way too early. I will have took it up with mine whether that can be changed.
Could be. You know what I think happened on this day is the very high humidity. It was super thick. So, I've tested it on a windy day and on high humidity days and that's when I had the shortest flight times. Otherwise I'm getting 12-minutes or so. How long are your flights on average?
better early than too late.....
people ruin their lipos
I have a question for you if I use a Wi-Fi repeater? Will that increase the video range?.. I have that Mi repeater...tks. in advance
Unfortunately it won't work with the Bugs because the repeater uses 2.4ghz and the Bugs is 5.8ghz. They do sell 5.8ghz repeaters, but they're hard to find.
Are you able to apply points of interest during a waypoint flight?
I didn't try it, but I doubt it. You have to hit submit to engage the flight plan. Next time I'm out flying this one I'll try it if I think of it.
I think you set a point of interest on the h501a during a Waypoint flight.
Good range test on this matter Gadget Inspector.
Its a bit pitty that the Bugs does not work with earth (read: geocache) coordinates so you could define exactly where to fly on a map. Defining a waypoint the way it goes right now is a very nice option though. Subbed your channel and thanks for publishing these tests and findings.
Thanks for the sub Robby. I'm going to do another test of the waypoint function on a full battery. I want to see if it will actually compete the flight plan even if it disonnects from the controller. I think it disconnected in this flight because it hit its first LVC and was greater than 300-meters. If I don't do another video I'll probably just add a comment about it. Thanks again!
Looking forward on this interesting subjects! Thanks and yr welcome.
Thanks... I was either buying this drone... But ordered the Bugs 3 Pro... Flight time is a bit of a bummer. They said it lasts longer.
Flight times can vary based on a number of conditions, but yeah I was surprised by the short flight. It was incredibly humid that day though. I typically get about 12-minutes, but I definitely need to get another battery.
I Dig those legs on that thing. Anyway... Looks solid in hover, too. Camera looks very good to me. Now... a WiFi extender is often key to making these WiFi drones usable at distances that are acceptable to me.
On another subject... You’re Cool, man! Always enjoy your quad videos!!
What's up BadChizzle!? I'm really liking this one. I just ordered one of those cheap portable wifi repeaters, but it will only work on 2.4ghz. I can't find any that use 5ghz for this quad. I'll keep looking though. Thanks for stopping by.
Is there enough room under The canopy to put in an AIO AKK 5.8 gigahertz camera in it.
I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure. I doubt it though, you could probably fit it if you cut the canopy though.
Good work G.I.!
How would you compare photo snapshot quality to the B2W.
It's hard to find actual photo specs but I did see somewhere that this can take an 8mp photo, true?
I honestly can't tell the difference between the two, but I filmed a comparison of the B5W and the B2W. I just have to edit the video. I'll put up side by side comparisons in that video. Advertised photo quality is 8MP. The photos look pretty good to me, but I don't have a way to corroborate how many mega-pixels it actually is.
Gadget Inspector
Thanks for the info and I look forward to the B2W comparison video!!
A little photo info... When you look at the file properties on a pc they'll be 2 sets of numbers you'll want to compare. Image size, for example 1920 x 1080. And then dpi (ppi) which can be anything... for example 96, 180 or 340
A little FYI on my question to you..
I emailed MJX and confirmed that the photos are 1920 x 1080 or 2 Megapixel. Deceptive on their part as the web brochure clearly advertises it as 8 Megapixel... smh....🙈🙉🙊
Gionni C It really is a shame that we have to be skeptical about how these drone companies market and advertise. They are better off just being honest. The photos actually look better than 2MP so they probably didn’t think anyone would notice. It didn't click initially about the 1080p translating into 2MP photos, so you're right. I hate when they do stuff like that. Good detective work by the way.
I can not seem to connect my Lg G5 phone to get a live feed? Any help with that maybe? Good video
It may not have 5G. The 5W transmits a 5G wifi signal so you need a compatible phone.
Are use standard camera and antena? No modifications? Cause my Bugs 5W FPV only 20-25 m connection with the phone
No mods. Make sure your phone is compatible with 5G.
Cant figure out how to get my app on phone to work any suggestions
Make sure your phone is compatible with 5G.
Are you sure it returned to home because it lost connection or was it because it started giving a low battery warning?
Not sure, but the important thing is that it kicked in.
@@GadgetInspector FYI: I tested this with my Bugs 5W today and the waypoints flight will continue even if you lose FPV as long as you have not received a low battery warning and you still have a good connection with the transmitter.
The remote low battery alarm but it is still 02 vertical line, how long the flycam stop ???
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking.
Hello,
I bought a C6000 camera. I want to operate the C6000 camera alone. I need an alternative application. Its application works as a drone + C6000. This is not working for me. I want to use it in rc car and want app advice for it. Just let the camera work. Thank you.
I can't find the batterys anywhere forsale! The place you posted is out of stock and everywhere else won't ship to U.S..
Oh snap really? I'm looking to get one too bro. I'm going to check on it and see when more stock will be in.
ok i'm binge watchin your channel for one more drone, this week i got the phantom 4, the mjx bugs 3h and a bugs 3 pro. after watching more videos i returned the 3 pro unopened. i think im going to put this 5w on my top 3 list to replace the 3 pro. i still have a nice refund to get something else. i like that clone backpack clone also.
Binge away my friend. I never got to test the Pro, but I have always liked MJX quads.
Hi great video's is the 5w faster than the bugs b2w?
My unscientific opinion is that the B2w is a little faster because it’s a little heavier. Once it gains momentum it may generate more speed. I think they both move pretty good though.
Thanks for the reply 👌
Is the units on the radio in metres or feet? Mine seems to stop at 100...
It's in meters. They really should indicate that on the readout.
Josh the max hight in setting is it on or off
can you fly this drone without a phone?..i hear this only work with 5g or latest phone version?..thanks
I believe you can fly it without a phone, but you won't have the fpv feed or any of the automated features. But everything else should work just fine.
oh i see...well thanks for your reply...god bless
You want some Trees for a challenge you say? Come to SW Louisiana! ;)
I take my Bugs2w straight up to 65-100 meters altitude before cruising around..I can usually keep a live feed signal to right at 300 meters, unless I get behind a tree..kills it every time..line of sight for me with good, polarized glasses right at 1000 feet on a good day...Happy Flying!
The polarized glasses is actually a great tip, thanks for sharing that. As long as my bird doesn't get stuck in a tree, I can deal with them 😉. And you're right, getting up in altitude also helps reception.
What is the resolution of the stills? Do you remember? Offhand I want to say it was 8MP, not sure..I've been searching a lot of Drones in the last month...
Yep, it's 8MP. It pretty much matches the resolution of the video.
Bummer..I was hoping it would be a little higher than the Bugs2w..so the same cam basically, just moves 90 degrees...I do like the Orbit feature, follow me, & the way points..Now I'll have to re-think between this & the Bug3 Pro...decisions, decisions..
I am asking for a specific and clear answer which drone is better b5w or b2w?
Kinda bossy there aren’t you? 😉 I like the B5W better.
Bugs5w can fpv to laptop?
I don't understand what you're asking.
@@GadgetInspector can Fpv monitor to Laptop?
It appears that although a great drone the camera actually only shoots 1280x720 video and not 1080p and a mear 1136x640 photo's, so less than 1 megapixel
I can not make the "BUGS GO" application work for my white screen 5w bugs with Chinese writing. To date, no one has been able to give me an answer to my problem (some of my faults have my problem!) I sansung SM- J530F and with the bugs 2w (which I lost!) Worked very well. Can you give me an answer? hello and good evening Bruno (PISA) (ITALY)
I use an iPhone, so I'm not sure. My app is in English. Try this: www.mjxrc.net/downshow/bugs-go.html
Do GPS work well?
yep
Dimua Belka yes don’t think cause this price cheap drone is crap I haven’t b2w over a year no problem I even fly in the city I really trust this drone now I just got my b5w and b2se
0:34 - Thank you! :)
Wow great renge test!! This is a really cool drone for the price!!!!!.
GREAT FLYING
& GREAT CHANNEL!!!!
👍😀👍
Thats so cool you can tell it where to fly and just sit back and enjoy the view!!!! Hope you are staying cool its a hot one today!!!!!!!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yeah it's been hot the past few days, but I'll take it.
I know it's cheaper but dang is she wobbly. Will you please review the new parrot or the new evo when they come out ?
I'm planning on getting the Anafi. I would to get both, but I can't afford it. I'm really liking the Anafi though and the price point of $699 is great. If/when I get it, you can expect a thorough review.
solen 1 b5w is very reliable u will find more flyaway on TH-cam then any bugs drone that’s fact I rarely find flyaways with mjx but Dji all over youtube
👀IMPORTANT NOTE: In the video I stated that you can't stop RTH; I was referring to stopping it using a stick command. On many GPS drones if you give it a throttle command or forward/backward stick input RTH will cancel. You can obviously stop RTH by pressing the RTH again on this quad.👀
Only 223m range?!
Nice review
Thanks Billy. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a beast.. Only dislike is battery. But otherwise it's the best for under $170 on ebay...
You can find it cheaper than that using the information I already provided.
very nice
Thanks. I appreciate you always checking out my videos. I don't take it for granted.
It didnt return to home because it lost connection, It returned because when the first Low Voltage kicks in, you are flying over 300 meters ,outside the low battery geofence ,thats why it returned to home and this video confirms that you might have a defective battery
You know what, you might be right after I watched this again. It was hard to tell while I was flying and filming because it also lost connection from the drone at the same time, but I think you're right. I still don't think the battery is defective though. It was extremely humid and there was several minutes of full pitch flying. I'm planning on getting another battery, so I guess we'll know for sure then.
Gadget Inspector I just recived my Bugs 5w this morning, I will test out the flight time
Yo... greetings from Indonesia!, and greetings one sky 😊👌
Greetings!
Next flight use wi fi repeater brother
If you know of one that uses 5G please send me a link. I haven't found any portable ones yet.
The repeater has to accommodate for 802.11ac, otherwise it won't work with this quad.
If you set up a dual band (2.4ghz/5ghz) wifi repeater plugged into a USB power bank, you may get better wifi FPV range. Fellow youtube channel (Quadcopter 101) shows several vids on how to extend RC quadcopter wifi range using the Xiaomi Mi wifi range extender.
Yep, I haven’t had a chance to try a repeater yet. They’re fairly inexpensive as well. Probably not a bad accessory to have in the toolbox. That may be a good idea for a part 5 video 😉.
Do it man! ;)
Still trying to find a good 5g repeater. The only ones I have seen are offered through Aliexpress and I have never bought from them. I'll keep looking though.
Yea, Quadcopter 101 did a review on the COMFAST 5g repeater last week, but discovered it wasn't very good.
Good review once again. Just disappointed in this one. They really should've stuck with the same receiver that is in the b2. I want range and a gimbal on the cheap, Mjx! Bummer. 😕
I hear you bro. I haven’t tried one yet, but I’ve been meaning to get one of those $12 WiFi repeaters. That will improve the range.
that will help with fpv distance yes?
I don't have facebook no more. I closed my studio. Don't need it.
Just tested out my bugs 5w, Im disappointed, Whenever I activate return to home, it descends way too fast, Which causes it to enter vortex ring state, And losing its balance and smashing onto the ground. And I return to home again, Its descending fast, But able to gain balance, Return to home again ! Boom, Another smack on the ground. Come on mjx, Just slow it down !!
Really? That is really strange. I didn't get that at all. How's your flight time?
Gadget Inspector 15 minutes and 22 seconds. I thought the camera have improved, But I dont think so...
You guys get this stuff for free and but you don't see the after math of what you guys sell. They delete the bad comments. And keep the rest.
I have become accustomed to a very small percentage of people making unfounded accusations like this. I usually don't respond to slander, and I never delete comments unless racial slurs are used or when people just spam the comments with links and unnecessary stuff. Sometimes I leave the slurs though. I will also leave this slander up as well.
Oh and by the way, TH-cam has an algorithm that weeds out offensive comments automatically, so if some of your bad comments don't show up when you post them on people's channels, that's probably why. Blame TH-cam if you're looking for someone to blame there.
Sorry for the bad review they seem to be nice. I got a bad one but I want a new one to at least fly. I had 28 years of tattooing people from around the world. With a hurt back! Got surgery was fine. Moved to Florida. Started tattooing in my house! They set me up for a drug bust. I did not rat on anyone I was tattooing. I did not do the drug. But went down for it. A big drug dealer knew if I was in there I was not going to rat. And I had tattooed real big hitters, if I knew rats, l grew up NJ. They road to the pine barrings trees. In a trunk. But snitches get stitches, and then put in ditches. I grew up in knowing these people. Bikes, gangs, most gangs brands out in life, I tattooed dea, FBI, cia, cop, three star general, every walk of life, I'm a locksmith, woodworker, designer, I sew, I flew planes all my life, and my dad too. So I was young, we built the stuff we ran, there was not know RTR. We did it all. I flew choppers, I weld, stick, tight, mig, I'm a mill right I have a 1934 mill I fixed and run, I own a plotter and was selling windows all the time. Sandblast glass sell mug, car windows, murilas, add I was a ninja for 12 1/2 years, equal to 5 degree black. Master of weapons, made my own, chemistry, l fabricate, we owned a screen printing place I learned all my self, closed hurt we had a consignment store closed hurt, I live in a big house with salt pool, just had my great freind old age die in front of me, did not leave her side, hand feed her and gave her water by hand she went parilized in a total of 8 hour. Started with The tail and then each lim. One lag at a time. Now I'm hurting at the same time, I thought I had friends in life, but everyone used me for tattooing, I'm to hurt to tattoo closed Pauls Tattoos in plant city fl. 33566. My cell is 813-375-0637. I have not received not one friend come here or just call. Do you know what it like no to talk to no one, wife 32 years love her, but just freinds, so barely moving, can't lift alot, I just wanted a drone fast light, and did not need camera, my daughter bought me a nice one. And did all the reveiws and I got the bugs, flew it my house without camera, and flew nice, loved it it brought back some pathetic life in me. And then rain and wind, but I would still just look at it. And when all the wind was calm and no rain, I was told never fly in bad condtions. But I knew how to fly, so I got family here and we took it out side, put in middle of road, I started motors up stick, and stopped at 5 feet spun around took pic of family, turned back around and up to 25 feet just to see naborhood and sat there moved up a foot, and it just took off strait up. Way higher then 400 feet. I was telling everyone I was afraid because we are in plane runway turn around in air zones airspace. And I know I never go above 100.feet. Here, but bugs had no control. It beeped and still flew away, I lost it in the air. It was dangerous. If that would have hit a aircraft. And killed someone, but I see; the reviews on internet on bugs, I had a bad one. But I still want one I can fly, I just bad eletronics, I flew 8 channel heli, and it was not like I learned the wrong way. I did the 4 foot square and a foot and two feet off the ground, then I tryed sky viper in wind and I flew it like a champ, counting the wind swirls, thermal swirl, polits know what I'm taking about. And never crashed. I have a bad deal, MJX said they won't replace it if it was in a tree. If it was I would cut tree down. But it never came down. It was not wind, or anything I did. It was MJX gave me a broken drone, and I just want a gift back I should have never lost. If it was my error I would eat it. Do you know how many cars, trucks, boats, planes, helicopters I crashed in my error, alot, and no going after new from company, but this should be made right, if I had a guy in life that bought something and it was bad. I fixed it for them. I'm not trying to get something for free I want some happiness back I had. And I'm getting help. But they don't help. I need to TAttoo again, but when you able to do as much as me. And can't do nothing! I put all my batterys on storage charge. I'm not a beginner ask them to make it right. I built my own guitar and wound my own pickup, and I play Right handed I'm left, tattoo left, I play drums sax was learning, when you get hurt age 19 you find things to do. I did run a motor off of water, and I always knew electronics, build boards, but now I sit in a chair. No dirt bikes, I build motors big and small, I know tiny motors, I can rewind stators, I was told master of none, but 8 th grade education is a way of knowing. I had to master all before moving on, to the next. So people are wrong. But unable to do anything I have parlizing pain. But can fly drones. Lmao I don't under stand why they won't replace a legit reason. I'm fighting for disability do you know what its like to be on top of the world and lose everthing. Moved to Florida my wife asked the movers if they had theifs workers they said no, they weight the truck before and got to fl, the truck lost 800 pounds of toys and I had three of the same systems every game ever made. Tools, daughters had every board game made, 3000.00 bike, two, all my collections and I had a lot. But I have alot I got in fl. 8 dirt bikes four wheelers go carts. Trade for tattoos lots of guns, had 5 1911's one was 1,800 Dan wesson. 2000 each two desert eagles. Rifles, ars, shotguns, had to sell and make ends meet, sold my toyota celica GT 2001 nice 4'500. All because my back, and all I wanted was a little racer. Is that to much to ask.
