I have one of these and it is a blast to fly! Flying this was so foreign to me that I started off with it facing out from me and just trying to fly it in a box and keep the hover steady. Just that isn't easy! I still only fly this in wide open fields. The light on the front is super bright and I use it to maintain orientation. Flying this teaches you some of the mechanics of how a drone flies. The left stick isn't an elevation control, it's a throttle. Pitch the drone forward to go forward and the drone will start to dip unless you push up on the left stick (give it some throttle). Let go of the right stick and let it sit, it will start gaining altitude until you back off the left stick some (lay off the throttle a bit). Drones with altitude hold will do all of that automatically for you. It teaches you to fly with small adjustments and flying becomes a constant dance between the two sticks even if you fly at the same altitude.
Bugs3 was my second drone. My first was a short lived Chinese drone, that had hover in place capability and a 72P camera. Neither had GPS and the Bugs3 doesn't hover in place by itself. I LOVED the Bugs3 and it really trained me for eventually get the DJI Drones, the Spark, Air, Mini2 and M2P. I learned how to NOT crash, and the Bugs3 got crashed a lot. It also has the most musically satisfying motors out there. I'm amazed how some have really mastered the Bugs 3 with GoPo cameras and precision trained stick flying. I sold it to a newbie and he loves it too.
Nice review on the Blue Bugs 3 Drone. James, I’m still on my learners. Lol. I haven’t been flying my drones lately, just too hot 🥵. I really need to get out & fly as soon as it cools down some. We really have some great sunsets here in the Ozarks! Hopefully I’ll get some good video of our sunsets & send them to you.. keep on flying!! Tim
JJRC H36 and Eachine E010 are to FPV drones, what the HS210 is to Camera Drones. It's good to get used to deadsticks. I have had more fun with the H36 than I've had with the HS510, a really nice GPS camera drone. To be fair, it's less to worry about a $20 drone than a $200+ drone.
Thanks James for a great video I am in my mid 60s and add model aircraft boats car but not a drone so I took your advice and got the HS210 Because like you said I don’t want to go out and pay £400 or £500 and crash it so thanks for the advice I’ve just finished watching all your videos more please stay safe love to family and may your God be with you and Mine to George in England UK🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@b4ugo Thanks James I live in England in Staffordshire not far from Lincolnshire . love the videos and can’t wait for your next one thanks George 🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
a few years ago i order 2 for like $85 shipped...but they never sent ..i got a refund..but i have 8 spare props for bugs 3 i ordered off ebay... i watched videos on it and it is a very nice machine...can't find it anywhere anymore...
I just noticed that right before I made the video, there is a shortage of materials right now in China, hopefully it will be back soon. That’s why I showed it’s available at Walmart with two batteries. Even though the price on Amazon is quite a deal. Thanks for watching!

Yes, it is very different because other drones make it so easy, this one makes you really think! Which makes you a better pilot over all

I agree, its a great drone with powerful motors, tried to find one for a friend and they are sold out anywhere. Thanks for watching.

I absolutely agree. I got great footage with this drone. Nice review btw
Thanks Monica!
thats also a great line of sight sport flier imo... i think it does over 50 mph on 2s
Yeppers, fastest drone for the money for sure!

I noticed everybody is out of them right now, I loaned mine to a friend trying to learn FPV
Hi I just got this drone and everything but the wings don't turn on and they don't turn
did you get it new? I thought they where discontinued.
:( Not currently in stock on Amazon.

Hi I am from India I want to buy this please help me I really want to fly drone please
How is it a beginner FPV drone when it doesnt even have FPV capabilities (FPV camera+screen/goggles)?
Because it has a left dead stick just like a FPV, thats the hardest thing to learn if you have been flying camera drones.
