I flew mine yesterday & exhausted 3 batteries, it still does very well except for the camera gear sticking a bit..I'll take it apart tomorrow & clean it. Today I flew my Bugs4..don't know which one I'll fly next..depends on the weather!
Man you dug in the vault for this one...👍 I have a few vintage birds sitting that need to be up in the air, or gone. I check in on you from time to time. Stay safe and blessed always brother.
Good job DJ, it is nice to be versatile and drive cars and trucks, fly quads, helis and if you ever thought about getting a boat since you have a nice looking lake right next to you, do that as well. I remember your review of this quad and it still flies pretty good. POW!!!
I do really want to get a r/c boat, it's just that my little lake doesn't have much of a shore line for launching and retrieving the boat. Besides, I'm waiting on a boat that has "auto return to home" when the battery gets weak, lol. Thanks for watching brother!!!
Thanks for watching buddy and your feedback. I have the red Bugs 2W also, and it's a blast to fly. Maybe I'll dust that one off in an upcoming video, lol.
I still have mine and found that calibrating was a problem! Then I tried this:- I turned it round 4 or 5 times for the first stage then, ignoring the failed first stage, went straight on to the second stage of turning it on the vertical axis. It would then complete the calibration! Another point that may be of interest to some, if you remove the camera and landing legs it comes out under 250gram.
It's great what your doing.. I think we have similar interest,perhaps if you have a moment check out my stuff and if you like what you see well you know what to do.. and don't forget to hit the bell.tnx
Cool video.. I can't remember what the average flight time is on this drone. I also flew mine today after 2 years of inactivity. I only got around 9 minutes. Not sure if that's right. I'm so use to the long flight times from Dji drones. Oh, and the app just doesn't work anymore on android 13.
@@DJSOULFORCE it's difficult to go back to these Drones after flying dji. Haha. I did have my battery in storage mode, but yeah maybe it was stored too long.
@@Kevz8611 When the Pandemic hit us, in my area we were forced to stay inside. So at that time, I returned to my previous love, and that is music!! Check it out sometimes. Catch me live, 3 nights a week in my studio (virtual club) on www.Twitch.tv/djsoulforce. I'm not flying drones, but I am putting down some funky tunes, lol. Thanks bro!!
Hey DJ. It's been a while sense I tuned in. Hope you y'all are sheltering in place and practicing social distancing. I see DJI has been busy shooting out upgrades. I've been using my P3S for surf fishing and its been working out great. Glad to see you bustin out the ole birds. Stay cool - its hot as hell here in Florida. POW!!
Thanks for stopping by, good to hear from you again buddy, it has been a while. I hope you're doing well also, and yes, it's hotter than hell in my area of S.C. We're surrounded by water and the high humidity makes it miserable to be outdoors, except for nights. Maybe I'll start making more night flight videos, lol!!!
There was this guy at our spot who would bring his and fight it for a couple hours n then take it home. I think he finally got it going and could use it, after few weeks or so, but wow did he have a rough learning curve with this one! Guess I should explain that it was the calibration dance he couldn’t get right. Never would settle in. He would just go home dizzy each time. Lol. Poor Dude! Now... I’m not saying anything bad about the drone, having not flown one. Just remembering Dudes troubles, as I feel glad that I chose the Hubsan one you called the Book Bag drone. Sheesh, that thing only needed calibrating once... and then it was always ready. They really perfected the software by the time I bought one one of them. Helps!
I hope dude learned by now that all MJX drones MUST be calibrated before takeoff. You should've told dude to check out my channel, lol. Great to hear from you again Chuk, be safe bro & happy flying! POW!!!
Old tech is always fun. I bought an older 3dr solo and love it had one awhile back but regretted selling it. The camera is clear on this drone your flying just no gimbal
It was my very first drone, and one of my favorites. If it had a camera with a gimbal on it, it would be such a good introductory drone! Great video! I have a Phantom 4 Advanced now, but I still treasure my Bugs 5 W and kept it even though I got rid of other drones. I would eve go so far as to say it was a much better drone than the Bugs 4W I had.
It's video is about the same as the Holy Stone HS501. At least you can move the camera up/dn with this one. I forget if the Bugs 5W has infrared/sonic downward facing sensors in order to help with Altitude/Position hold? At any rate, some of the cheaper sensors get FUNKY when you fly LOW over water (say, below 15-20 feet) .. something to keep in mind. I almost lost my P3A when it started getting 'laggy' on the FPV signal, when I went behind some trees out at Roaming Shores Lake. Damn near ran it into a tree, but was able to save it for another day (in my video list from 09/19). I think you're ready for the DJI Mini ... at least the FPV signal and video should be much, much better. I was waiting for you to say "How do you like my shirt?" Going to be up in the 90's today, with high humidity .. so I may say inside in my A/C and play video games! Catch you later .. POW!
If it is not the regulations, I would prefer bigger drones. Small ones are just so under powered. Transportability isn't really an issue as you have to take them to somewhere and fly anyways.
Nice revisit flight. B5w is a good flyer but that camera should have been better. One thing about MJX drones, they will go the distance.Thanks for sharing Brother.
It is fast and i do love it alot its older but but jjrc makes a clone of it still its a good drone. Imo its not a dji or zino.2 but its a bugs they are great!

All that water......... RC Boat, RC Boat, RC Boat! POW! Thanks for sharing Brother!
🤣👍lol, I hear ya brother. I guess I'm waiting on a boat that has auto return to home!!!
Man you dug in the vault for this one...👍 I have a few vintage birds sitting that need to be up in the air, or gone. I check in on you from time to time. Stay safe and blessed always brother.
Yeah, you either got to fly them or remember to charge the batteries up every now & then! Thanks for stopping by my brother!!!
Camera Bird t-shirts would be slick
Thanks for the input/feedback. Happy flying bro!

Good to see you flying brother
Thanks for stopping by brother. Family forever bro!
POW POW POW bringing out the oldies but the goodies. I still have mine also. 👍👍👍👍👍Still a great flyer.
Thanks for stopping by Ray. Still on vacation???
@@DJSOULFORCE No I'm back home. Just catching up with all the work around the house. You know like grass etc.

Very well done my friend. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you too buddy, happy flying!!!
Good flight, well done 👍
Thank you very much for watching and your feedback!
I always said: change the appearance of a bit and give it a two axis gimbal and it will be a big seller
Totally agree with you bro! Thanks for watching!!!

No downward sensors on this bird, lol. Thanks for watching bro and your feedback. Stay cool!!!
Well done big brother, I had forgotten all about that Bugs 👍🏾😎👍🏾
Thanks for watching bro. Yeah, I had to dust the old girl off to keep that battery from swelling up, lol.
If it is not the regulations, I would prefer bigger drones. Small ones are just so under powered. Transportability isn't really an issue as you have to take them to somewhere and fly anyways.
I'm with you on that buddy. I love the bigger drones, like the Phantom, etc. Thanks for watching and your feedback!!!
Was going to dig out the Q500 but could not charge the batteries...that was probably a good thing...lol nicely done... Not a bad drone at all...
Thanks buddy for stopping by!!
