JJPRO X5 EPIK Brushless GPS 1080p FPV Follow Me Drone Flight Test Review

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

*Hello Quadracopter* I 'am a drone girl, and I have a Dji. I like to see demonstrations. I like this kind you present ! I like the shape and the color metal-grey! Thank you for sharing !

[@RDsRCReviews]

The video quality is surprisingly good with no jello.

[@SeanDIY]

I had the same issue with binding. You are among the few that mention it!

[@telephony]

I've got one of these babies on the way -- looks like I chose correctly with no small thanks to your video!!! :-) '*THANK YOU EVER SO VERY MUCH* for your having published this video and for positively influencing my purchase decision!!! :-D

[@scottmoseley5122]

How did it work out for you?

[@telephony]

@@scottmoseley5122 The X5 EPIK is a very nice drone with one flaw: (at least in my case) it tends to burn out ESCs at a far, *FAR* greater rate than what I might consider "normal". :-( I've been through five (5) of these guys; one was "destroid" in a crash; the other four have blown an ESC -- sometimes the failure occurs mid-flight so that the drone simply plummets to the ground causing additional damage. :-(

[@carlodefilippi6914]

I like the metal silver look and the brand, even if it's clear that the logos are easily switched in this industry :) and it works well!

[@randall1959]

I just got one of these a few days ago and although the video isn't great, it's good for looking for things on the ground. Where this drone shines is in the photos. For the price with the quality of the photos it's very hard to beat. Another thing I found out was that even though it's a 5G drone it will work with 4G phones and the range is very good. Honestly I like it for taking photos better than the DJI Spark that I had. I'm flying mine with a Motorola Moto G Power 2021 without issue.

[@over-n-under6832]

[@claudio156cg1]

Ce l'ho da circa un paio di settimane, che dire è un prodotto validissimo l'unica pecca è la stabilità della cam. Vibra parecchio ma devo dire che io ho apportato anche una modifica che forse l'ha appesantita troppo e quindi sono aumentate le vibrazioni. Ho aggiunto le antenne a 5 Ghz esterne a fungo per aumentare la portata del WIFI, ma non è stata una mossa azzeccata infatti la portata è sempre limitata ma le vibrazioni sono aumentate. Per il prodotto in se è molto valido soprattutto se uno si avvicina da neofita a questi oggetti volanti. Il fatto di poter limitare la distanza e l'altezza da più sicurezza a chi come me ha provato la paura di perdere un drone perchè vedi che si allontana sempre di più e tu non puoi fare nulla e andando in palla peggiori solo la situazione. Voto del prodotto sicuramente 9/decimi ma solo perchè i filmati vibrano, mentre per le foto sono molto ben definite e nitide, se i filmati fosserostabili avrei dato 10/decimi anche rapportato al prezzo. Acquistatelo senza paura di sbagliare.

[@thekingsilverado3266]

One thing you can do to see your drones better up in the sky is to get some bright green or orange even red or yellow 3D tape works. You need the high visibility safety type 3D tapes and so far the only place I have come across the stuff other than Graphics shops that might have some on hand. U-line has the stuff buried deep in their catalogs and their net pages R insane as well but they have it. Guys like us use it on our race car and show car trailers. But the real colorful non safety tape stuff isn't as popular as the common safety 3D reflective variety. The 3D stuff really stands out in the sky. So for U half blind drone pilots or eye sight & beer challenged folks the stuff is a must have.

[@Sky1]

not very loud, seems like I could not hear it through your microphone until it was about 10 meters away. My Mavic Air, I can hear it over 100' up

[@nahumlopezlopez3255]

I have a problem with Google maps cuz doesn't open or show me where I am.

[@Quadcopter101]

Before starting the drone, try opening the app to see if Google maps will load. If it does, zoom in around the area that you wish to fly. This will save the map information in your phone. Then start the drone and connect to its WiFi, and restart the app.

[@MountainCrestFarm]

A couple of questions: 1. Do RTH drones, either in manual RTH or low battery RTH or lost signal RTH "hop" obstacles on the way home? Say, if you go out 150 meters and on the way fly 150 feet altitude to get over some 100 ft trees, then fly lower to do a pan of something at 25 ft, if you hit the RTH button or the battery gets low and RTH kicks in automatically, does the drone return at the altitude it is at when RTH engages and crashes into the trees you flew over, or does it gain altitude and RTH along the same path and at the same altitude you sent it out on? 2. I forgot the second question...LOL. EDIT...Remembered the second question...LOL. In Follow Me mode is it following the transmitter or does it recognize the human form? If it recognizes the human form what happens with 2 or more people close by? Also, does it recognize the human form is oddly shaped, like hunched over the handlebars on a motorcycle or ATV?

[@Quadcopter101]

It depends. Most drones first climb to a specified height, then return. The exception may be low battery return, where the drone might return at its current height. As for follow me, that also depnds on the drone. Most toy drones are following the GPS of your phone. The exception is those with optical follow me. In optical follow me, you draw a box around the subject that you wish to follow, and it will follow it.

[@MountainCrestFarm]

@@@Quadcopter101 Thanks...and now I have one more question. I asked the folks at Gearbest but they are English challenged and I don't speak Chinese, so... On your reccomendation I got this quad. GB had it on sle for $119 and I couldn't pass it up DESPITE it's wifi only working on 802.11ac and my phone not being that version. Now I want a phone that will only be an accessory for the drone, not used as a phone or getting on the internet or having other apps. Everything I read about this drone says it needs "5G AND 802.11ac" as though they automatically go together. When I search on GB for "802.11ac" it brings up two phones, and the lesser expensive one says it is 4G but also 802.11ac. Will that phone work with this drone despite being 4G? Here is the phone link: www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009977960357.html?wid=1349303

Question, have you tried to use the remote controllers from both drones between drones. Reason is that my JJpro controller is missing and I cannot find who sales a replacement. All I find is for the Bugs drone and want to make sure if it will work with the JJpro drone. Will appreciate if you can tell me your results if possible so that I can order a Bugs controller. Will be waiting for you answer thanks!

[@Quadcopter101]

I can't guarantee or check as I no longer have these drones., but I'd say there is a good chance. If you do attempt to try it, you will likely need to bind the controller the first time you use it. To do such, first turn on the drone. Then hold down the red button on the controller, while simultaneously turning on the controller.

@@WilliamMjemaSkyviewTanzania The correct sequence to connect is to 1) turn on the drone and place it on a flat and level surface. 2) turn on your controller and wait till you hear a beep confirming bind to the drone. 3) then open your phone's WiFi settings and connect to its WiFi signal (the same way that you would connect to your home WiFi signal).

You may have lost bind. But it is very easy to regain bind. First turn on the drone and place it on the ground. Next press and hold the red unlock button while simultaneously turning on the transmitter. This puts the transmitter in binding mode. The controller should search for and automatically bind with the drone. You will only need to do this once. The controller should remember the drone and automatically bind with it for future flights.

So they've carbon copied the Bugs 5W

[@adriangomez89]

much better than dji tello??

[@Quadcopter101]

Two very different drones with different purposes. What is it that you want your drone to be able to do, and what price range did you have in mind?

[@adriangomez89]

it is my first drone i m a noob. and i have orderer the tello but i think that i was wrong

[@Quadcopter101]

@@adriangomez89 No, I think that you were right. The X5 has very powerful brushless motors, and could be dangerous in the hands of a newbie. The Tello also produces much more stable video than the X5. Here's what the Tello can do if using a $11 WiFi repeater with it kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSvlJWLbpWhoKc

I can't find the app for it

[@Quadcopter101]

It's not on Play anymore, and has also been renamed the JJRC X app. You can still download it from third party app sites like apk pure. apkpure.com/jjrc-x/com.jjpro_x5.app/downloading

Hi! Did anyone has any problems with a camera quality? The taken footage should has a 1080p quality, but my drone is taking only 1280x720, for both videos and pictures. I already try to contact JJRC, but there is response from them :/

[@Quadcopter101]

Where are you downloading your video file from? The drone directly records 1080p to SD card, but only 720p to your phone via WiFi.

[@DonNerkinio]

@@Quadcopter101 And probably that is the answer. During my flights I was using just a Wifi connections :)

[@DonNerkinio]

@@Quadcopter101 One more question - does it support microsdhc, or just microsd?

[@Quadcopter101]

@@DonNerkinio Stick with microSD Class 10, 32GB or less.

[@arezhOG]

I have the same problem. Whit the app my photo and videos are in 1280x720.. Did u fixed the quality to 1920x1080 whit the SD card?

[@MountainCrestFarm]

Thanks...and now I have one more question. I asked the folks at Gearbest but they are English challenged and I don't speak Chinese, so... On your reccomendation, I got this quad. GB had it on sle for $119 and I couldn't pass it up DESPITE it's wifi only working on 802.11ac and my phone not being that version. Now I want a phone that will only be an accessory for the drone, not used as a phone or getting on the internet or having other apps. Everything I read about this drone says it needs "5G AND 802.11ac" as though they automatically go together. When I search on GB for "802.11ac" it brings up two phones, and the lesser expensive one says it is 4G but also 802.11ac. Will that phone work with this drone despite being 4G? Here is the phone link: www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009977960357.html?wid=1349303

[@Quadcopter101]

4G or 5G means the generation of a technology. That can refer to either phone wireless data networks or Wifi. By unlucky coincidence there are both 5G networks, and 5G WiFi. This obviously causes a lot of confusion. 802.11ac WiFi is fifth generation WiFi (the previous generations being 802.11a, b, g, and n). But don't confuse it with fifth or fourth generation data networks (the 4G in your link refers to its data network, and NOT its WiFi). Forgetting the "G's", as long as it has 802.11ac WiFi, it should work with this drone.

[@MountainCrestFarm]

@@@Quadcopter101 Thanks. I hate having to buy another phone just for the drone, but it's my fault...and yours!...LOL. Between the great deal...$119...and your review, I just couldn't pass it up!
