this one really appears to be the best bang for the buck. really awesome transmitter configuration and function. great review and info. just need to decide which one to get. waiting for that flight video.
This has been an excellent video. Thanks. I was worried about which quadcopter to buy, Hubsan X4 H109s / Xiaomi mi / DJI Phantom etc. and my resources are modest but I will go ahead and get the Hubsan. With a 7" monitor it should work well for me as a beginner and a bit of an old chap. This way I can buy add-on pieces as I need them and spread the cost over a few months. This should keep my Beloved wife at bay... and the bank manager.
Thanks for the very in depth video and review of the Hubsan X4 H109s, seriously considering buying this as it has the power and range that I want to learn with before getting longer range drones which are 2 times the price to get near this range +1.5 KM. I see this parachute missing is a common problem among buyers but since it weighs 250 grams and the max added load for the drone is 350g it is going to reduce time and range but a serious life saver if connection lost and battery runs out.
Hey man you rock!!! Thanks for the detail video on the h109 you gave me a lot of info. I got me the middle Addition and I really like it however I'm hoping the settings you showed will help me fine tune it to my liking. I will let you know how I works. Thanks again and keep those videos rolling. Safe flying!!!
Thumbs up for the video bro.. action packed with no commercials,, good information man, I will be watching this again (with others) in its entirety when my H109 arrive's ,, Im getting the base version too, and i had not expected a parachute to be in any of the gearbest or banggood supply' s.. Im really looking forward to 800 meter flights in circle around my position...
Cal JohnsonHigh-quality review. Thanks for covering Hubsan products. I have a Hubsan X4 H502S and a couple of X4 H107P models. One complaint I have with the latter models is with the failures of the barometer to maintain altitude hold. Would appreciate updates with your experience with this particular feature with the H109S and/or other Hubsan drone models. Thanks again!
Kind of wanted this copter but no way was I going to risk spending almost $400 at Gearbest. I have had very shitty luck with Gearbest support. They just give you the run around if you have problems. Yes... so I just bought a DJI Phantom 3 Standard from Amazon instead. Gearbest lost a pretty sizable sale because of their lousy support. They should have a U.S. Repair and Support center if they want to sell this kind of stuff in the USA.
brianminkc that’s terrible that you didn’t get an X4pro just because Gearbest sux. I have the X4 Pro Hi- Edition W/ H7000 TX and I also have a DJI Phantom 3 Pro and I will tell you that the DJI is the most forgiving but I have found that the raw power of the X4 Pro is very nice and I’m so intrigued by how different it is. It’s very very nice. Sounds like you are the one that lost out because I think the X4 Pro is better than than the P3 Standard in many ways but they’re so close it doesn’t really matter to most folks. I just hate that you let Gearbest cause you to not experience the X4 Pro. I think I bought mine thru TowerHobbies and I love the thing. I fly it more than my P3 Pro because it’s so damn powerful and obnoxious. Lol it reminds me of,,, me! Lol
Nice review, esp with the extra menu advice. I've ordered one through Gearbest. I hope I don't get any problems with their promised prompt delivery like I have with a V303 pathfinder copter.
If I were you I'd buy the low edition otherwise you can get a DJI Phantom 3 Standard for a fraction of the price and it's a nicer quadcopter with better features.
I want a drone that adapot a payload release system to use for fishing. Basically attach line to drone, fly it way out, and drop the bait.. Only question is... Can it carry a 3 to 6 oz lead fishing weight?
Hi Justin, great videos.. I have watched both videos on this drone, and I am having trouble recording video. My camera works when not plugged into the drone, but when I plug into the drone, my video is corrupted. I read that you have to turn off the camera before turning off the drone... I tried turning on the drone and than turning on the camera, hitting record on the camera, but when the drone started to fly, the recording stopped. Can you please do a video on how to use the camera, and watch the video. I have tried several times, and I cant get it to record properly from the drone. Thank You !
I'm watching this video I'm looking into buying a nice drone, would u recommend this as of now or is there another drone around the same price with better specs
Thanks man! Oh it's that stupid storyline black bar in Final Cut Pro. I always have to trim it back or delete it. Ever since they made Final Cut Pro X everyone has been so irritated with it. It's like a glorified iMovie. Sucks so much!
Can you please advise as to what is the largest capacity microSDHC Memory Card that the camera can take? 32gb / 64gb / 128gb ??? I don't know which size to order. Thanks.
Great review, best one ive sin so far and I've sin a lot off them,lol have u done the vid for flying it yet, and carnt make me mind up this or the dji phantom standard, lol
Can anyone tell me about customs and if people get away with it once it arrives in their country. I used to buy quite a bit of stock from a supplier in China and always had to pay import taxes. This is why I haven't bought anything over €100 from GearBest, Banggood etc. Nice quad copter though, Husban seem to make good aerial platforms for the 'toy/hobby grade' Thanks for your fabulous review, much appreciated 👍
Heloo. I have this drone for around 2 weeks now. And no, i didnt get parashute either but i am more interesting in other stuff. Like: in description says that fpv works for around 1000 meters. But in my case, if i get my quad 200 meters away from me, the pic on the screen donnt work anymore...maybe now and then some flash but thats it. So i wonder if you have some advice for me how to improve that to get closer 1km then 100meters??? But i must say that shoots and videos from SD card are great, perfect clear, just would be very nice if i could see what i am filming when quad is little far away. Thanks for great infos about this quad, was realy helpful.
Put an ImmersionRC FatShark TX antenna on the drone, you'll easily get over 2,500 metres range from the video with the stock flat panel on the controller.
So I've had this quadcopter for a few months now and I've noticed something in the few times I've been able to fly it. After flying it for a bit I've noticed the green lights flash red sporadically and I'm not sure what it means and I can't find any info about it anywhere!
Jeremy Conlee It turns out that it's an early battery warning. When the battery gets to about 10.9 to 10.8 volts the back lights will start to flash red and get more frequent as the battery gets lower. Even though there's no info out there it seems completely normal.
Dude is there anyway for this drone to do a facebook lives ? , or on any of the versions of the HUBSAN X4 H109S, I know other drones where you use your smart phone as part of the controller you can run a facebook live and you see the drone view from the sky it's pretty sic. !!
They are not including the parachute anymore. I bought one and thought I got screwed. But then there are a couple of guys on TH-cam and same thing for them. They should put out a notice when you buy! I think the parachute is a gimmick so I wont be missing it. Its slows you down and less flying time.
Yeah thats so lame. I was kinda hoping to test it out. I do have another parachute here I could try but probably not worth the effort to link it up to an external receiver. However the H109S has some extra ports/channels it looks like. You're right about the extra weight. I agree.
Pressing the exit button while already recording video will take still shots. While not actually recording video, pressing the enter button will change camera modes from video to still shots or playback if there's something already recorded on the card. It's all there in the manual.
I bought one...Had a great first flight...Next day I took the drone up about 40 feet and it started to wobble...I figured it was prop wash...Next day took it out again and....Pushed up on the throttle and it kept going!!!! Nothing i did affected the drone!!!!! Then it came down in a spiral and crashed!!!!!! WTF!!!!! This drone is nothing more then a paper wieght right now!!! I'm too afraid to take it out again incase it crashes into a house or worse....any ideas why a ghost took over my new Hubsan X4 Pro H109s Standard!!!! I was going to get the high end one but NOT now!!!! May never get another Hubsan again!!!!
Jose Torres 34 seconds ago (edited) How is your Hubsan X4 Pro? How is been working? Is it good after the first video or is it an expensive piece of junk? Update please.
It no longer comes with the parachute from Gearbest.com, you have to buy it separately...it's a cool feature but more gimmick than practical, when attached it stresses the max weight threshold.
Was gonna buy one 'til our transport minister ,former astronaut Marc Garneau,killed drone flying,and rc aircraft heavier than 250 grams,with his thoughtless ,rediculous new flying rules.Here in hockey land.For example our full name,address and ph. # visible on our rc aircraft.I can understand registration numbers,but our personal info...sheesh!🇨🇦

Wow. easily the best planned and executed presentation. I've watched lots
Nice Unboxing and Review Drone Camp, Good Job.
this one really appears to be the best bang for the buck. really awesome transmitter configuration and function. great review and info. just need to decide which one to get. waiting for that flight video.
I appreciate the white background. Your presentation was great. Thanks!
great video. I have the 501s and just ordered the 109s. you do a great job in explaining everything. well done thanks
This has been an excellent video. Thanks. I was worried about which quadcopter to buy, Hubsan X4 H109s / Xiaomi mi / DJI Phantom etc. and my resources are modest but I will go ahead and get the Hubsan.

Low edition purchased with additional purchase of 3 axis HAKRC STORM 32 gimbal for about $60. Very pleased with these purchases.
Hi is it a straight swop , as in all electrics work the same as the standard gimble , thx in advance
Thanks for the very in depth video and review of the Hubsan X4 H109s, seriously considering buying this as it has the power and range that I want to learn with before getting longer range drones which are 2 times the price to get near this range +1.5 KM.

That looks like a serious bit of quality KIT, Hubsan will be skyrocketing up the drone popularity market, taking the lions share!!!
Thumbs up for the video bro.. action packed with no commercials,, good information man, I will be watching this again (with others) in its entirety

Bought this on your recommendation and it is awesome. Bought some three blade props and they seem to be better.
Nice review, esp with the extra menu advice. I've ordered one through Gearbest. I hope I don't get any problems with their promised prompt delivery like I have with a V303 pathfinder copter.
My euro type charger came with an US adapter connector .You don't need a special converter because the charger will accept 100 to 240 VAC
I think that the basic model does not come with a parachute. This is certainly the case in the UK. Disappointing.
This is the most complete and most instrumental video I've seen for this model. Suscribe. This will be my first drone.
very helpful review. I'm just deciding if buying the "low" or the "high" version.
If I were you I'd buy the low edition otherwise you can get a DJI Phantom 3 Standard for a fraction of the price and it's a nicer quadcopter with better features.
Very detailed review! Best review.
That's a sharp looking unit! What's the difference between the low and the high besides $500?
Awesome drone and review, greeting from your new fans 🙏🙏❤️🥃⭐️🌹
hey love your videos. I would like to see a video on hubsan x4 pro first bind. will help me out a lot..
Phone mount may take the iPhone 5SE which has same tech, camera as iPhone 6/7 and iPad Pro? Give it a try?
I want a drone that adapot a payload release system to use for fishing. Basically attach line to drone, fly it way out, and drop the bait..
Only question is... Can it carry a 3 to 6 oz lead fishing weight?
Hi, does the drone work with other action cameras such as the Yi Action? There is a setting for AV output on USB on that camera
Hi Justin, great videos.. I have watched both videos on this drone, and I am having trouble recording video. My camera works when not plugged into the drone, but when I plug into the drone, my video is corrupted. I read that you have to turn off the camera before turning off the drone...

I'm watching this video I'm looking into buying a nice drone, would u recommend this as of now or is there another drone around the same price with better specs
Is it necessary to connect FPV cable with the battery in the gopro or can it be used without batteries?
hey man love your vids! Just a heads up that you got an Xtra 2 mins nothing at the end of this video!
Thanks man! Oh it's that stupid storyline black bar in Final Cut Pro. I always have to trim it back or delete it.
Ever since they made Final Cut Pro X everyone has been so irritated with it. It's like a glorified iMovie. Sucks so much!
Can you please advise as to what is the largest capacity microSDHC Memory Card that the camera can take? 32gb / 64gb / 128gb ??? I don't know which size to order. Thanks.
Great review, best one ive sin so far and I've sin a lot off them,lol have u done the vid for flying it yet, and carnt make me mind up this or the dji phantom standard, lol
Do you still recommend the Hubsan X4 Pro? Thanks much!
The gimbal motor whine part was like a family guy moment
Can anyone tell me about customs and if people get away with it once it arrives in their country. I used to buy quite a bit of stock from a supplier in China and always had to pay import taxes. This is why I haven't bought anything over €100 from GearBest, Banggood etc.
Nice quad copter though, Husban seem to make good aerial platforms for the 'toy/hobby grade'
Thanks for your fabulous review, much appreciated 👍

Put an ImmersionRC FatShark TX antenna on the drone, you'll easily get over 2,500 metres range from the video with the stock flat panel on the controller.
What lipo did you put in the transmitter? And where did you get it? Thanks and great video.
It doesn't come with a battery. But you can use a 11.1v 3S Lipo with a jst connector
I from Brazil!
Congratulations!
my name is Flavio.
hey man I'm 11and I just got the drone the same thing now I know how to use it and I got it for Christmas
Welcome to the drone community Nick! Fly safe! - JD.
How is this compared to the P3?
Can I switch gimbal to 3 axis and what kind gimbal fits
So I've had this quadcopter for a few months now and I've noticed something in the few times I've been able to fly it. After flying it for a bit I've noticed the green lights flash red sporadically and I'm not sure what it means and I can't find any info about it anywhere!
mine does it as well and I can't find the answer either
Jeremy Conlee It turns out that it's an early battery warning. When the battery gets to about 10.9 to 10.8 volts the back lights will start to flash red and get more frequent as the battery gets lower. Even though there's no info out there it seems completely normal.
Justin J. great thank u brother . really learned a lot from your video .. please keep em coming
Dude is there anyway for this drone to do a facebook lives ? , or on any of the versions of the HUBSAN X4 H109S, I know other drones where you use your smart phone as part of the controller you can run a facebook live and you see the drone view from the sky it's pretty sic. !!
The 109 comes with a smartphone gimbal so you can attach your phone instead of the hubsan camera.
Stephen Peters Woah that's awesome, but in the same way I don't know if a $400 drone + $600 phone stuck up a tree would be good
Does sharpe image have the same drone
Thank you for posting this video very destructive and good information for the beginner like me
does it work with gopro hero5 black?
hello there, if we attach a go pro or a firefly camera, does the fpv work?
belze69. yes but no transmitter activated record...have to turn on go pro manuallly then tske off
I was expecting to see how this drone performs in the air but never got there
Part 2 coming right up... - JD.
Drone Camps RC hey how do you calibrate the sticks on that 109
do you recommend oiling the motors on the 109s
No sir. The bearings are sealed.
They are not including the parachute anymore. I bought one and thought I got screwed. But then there are a couple of guys on TH-cam and same thing for them. They should put out a notice when you buy! I think the parachute is a gimmick so I wont be missing it. Its slows you down and less flying time.

Sorry what was the full rating for the nano tech 11.1 volt lipo again?
3S 7000mah 11.1v Lipo
I meant for the transmitter...to replace the batts.
11.1v 3S 1000mah is fine
Por favor por que no se me conecta mi control remoto con el dron
question Can you tell me what size the video plug is on the tx :)
It's a red JST connector
501s or this one?
Can I use an Android Tablet instead of a phone?
my x 4 pro dosnt fly strait in gps dose any one if a fix
Did you say that this is supposed to have a '''parachute"'?
The one I got didn't have it. :(
no more chutes come with it and from what i seen happen with mine is that it wanted to pop out and tangle with the props
how do you take pictures with it
I have had my 109s for about 2 weeks now and love it...but can't find anything anywhere that explains how to take pictures.....
Pressing the exit button while already recording video will take still shots. While not actually recording video, pressing the enter button will change camera modes from video to still shots or playback if there's something already recorded on the card. It's all there in the manual.

You find the same comments with the most other drones. Even with the mavic 2 pro... mostly, consumer, operator mistakes

How is your Hubsan X4 Pro? How is been working? Is it good after the first video or is it an expensive piece of junk? Update please.
I didn't get a parachute
how much is the Drone
"A" switch is for headless.
Thanks
Yw
kimat kitni hai eski
I would be afraid to buy any drone that comes STOCK with a chute! does this mean it's pretty much guaranteed to fall out of the sky?
It no longer comes with the parachute from Gearbest.com, you have to buy it separately...it's a cool feature but more gimmick than practical, when attached it stresses the max weight threshold.
Saludos por favor tirarme algo en español
can I use goggles with this guy ?
Yes 5.8ghz goggles
😎👍🏽
Por favor yo no hablo ingles disculpame
i won drone plis
Was gonna buy one 'til our transport minister ,former astronaut Marc Garneau,killed drone flying,and rc aircraft heavier than 250 grams,with his thoughtless ,rediculous new flying rules.Here in hockey land.For example our full name,address and ph. # visible on our rc aircraft.I can understand registration numbers,but our personal info...sheesh!🇨🇦
