MJX Bugs 2W B2W High Speed GPS FPV Drone Flight Test Review

This is the Bugs 2 "W" FPV version, and flies insanely fast for a GPS bird. It uses 5G WiFi for FPV video reception on your phone. Get the Bugs 2W FPV here goo.gl/FGNE5W and the cheaper non FPV (has 1080p camera) Bugs 2C here goo.gl/5vE1oq
Pros
1080p camera actually takes nice sharp video. Video quality is better than the Hubsan H501S & C, but about on par with the H501A.
Uses USA GPS and Russian GLONASS satellites for very fast and accurate GPS lockon.
Very fast GPS quadcopter. Many GPS quadcopters can't fly this fast, simply because their GPS system can't keep up. With GPS/GLONASS, this one can.
Also has altitude hold, and headless mode.
5G WiFi FPV does not interfere with 2.4G controller. Thus this has greater WiFi FPV range (a little over 100 meters) than most other WiFi FPV fliers.
Also, line of site control range with the controller is advertised out to 1000 meter. Now most people can't see this at 1000 meters. But if you do fly out of range, its GPS bring it home to a landing. Or if you lose sight of it, or just lazy, press the return to home button for automatic return to home and landing.
Will also return to home on low battery. First it gives a beeping warning. But if you ignore the warning, it will automatically return and land at 2 bars warning if you are greater than 100m, return and land at 1 bar if greater than 15 m, or automatically land at 1 bar if less than 15m.
Although the battery seems to be proprietary, the Bugs 3 battery is the same without the back connection panel. If you use a Bugs 3 battery, you'll need to devise a method so the Bugs battery it won't slide out the back (tape? velcro?).
Cons
Not everyone has 5G WiFi on their phones or tablets. It's only available on newer devices, and even then, not all have it. Check your intended control device to confirm it has 5G WiFi before purchasing.
Would have liked to seen a WiFi repeater system included (like the H501A) so that FPV range could be much greater than 100 meters.
The body plastic feels like it might be more brittle than the H501 series, or the Bugs 3. Stay away from obstacles during high speed flying.

Quadcopter 101 will the fpv work with my Google pixel?

[@ajayiabiodun6257]

Quadcopter 101 Nice review! I've ordered one myself, though it's the none wifi version, the b2c. Quick question though, will the motors, esc and props on the bugs 3 work on the b2c? Thanks

[@andrewjackson7476]

I just got my Bugs 2C. I can't get it to calibrate compass. It wouldn't do it in my living room, so I took it out to the garden, but It wouldn't do it there either. I did it just as everyone else. Do I need to go to a really wide open space? Can somebody please try calibration in their living room and let me know? Thanks you, guys

[@Surferant666]

Andrew Jackson you can calibrate inside... Just connect handset then spin anti clockwise whilst level 3x then hold nose upright vertically and again spin it 3x anticlockwise the lights will go solid and good to go

Thanks for taking the time to develop and post such an informational review! I plan to build a GPS quad after my current endeavor... This video helped endorse my decision! :))

[@jonathanmanser2346]

This was a wonderful review of this drone.. answered every question I could've had with this before I purchased 1... again great review

[@Quadcopter101]

Update August 29: Most vendors now have both the "B2C" ( *non-FPV version* ) and the Bugs 2W (FPV version) currently available.

[@mssippijim]

I never buy wifi fpv quads any bigger than something that is going to be used very close range. They just don't work well at any distance. Nice quad though.

[@joecro8463]

Good advice!

[@parrokmonrc2267]

Hi, i introduce one Brushless GPS drone to you. It is more competitive compare to MJX BUGS2.

[@Surferant666]

Greetings QC101 Please can you make a video showing how to get the bugs 2 drone to follow me and circle me. I want it to video me on my bike doing stunts Cheers.

[@massimofiandino795]

@@Surferant666 it hasn't that function. The BUGS 2 SE (the updated model) has it

[@SeaSide420]

I like the MJX's, they always seem like a good deal. Awesome shirt mate! hi from NZ

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

I'm surprised at the number of experienced reviewers who don't seem to read the manual before starting a review. Especially in this case since the manual for the Bugs 2C/W is about the best of the "Chinglish" destruction manuals. One of the few features not mentioned is the fact that the headless orientation is set at motor arming (with headless switch off or on) and can be switched in or out at will. To change set heading you have to land, disarm, re-orientate and rearm. Can be useful if your quad is way out there and pointing who knows where! I've posted this on a couple of the more popular review channels as none of them seem to have stumbled on the feature yet.

[@johnwedrall7149]

yes I DO agree ALL your reviews are neat 👍 🇱🇷 😎 !

[@offmymeds9621]

It will work with the bugs 3 lipo , put a small piece of duct tape on one side ,either left or right side but not both and it fits snug enough to hold it in.

[@RonaldBrown59]

It looks like the MJX has another winner with the BUGS 2, it will be interesting to see what the final price will be for this quad, compared to the H501s.

[@chris8906]

Mate I love your reviews! They are just so ammusing haha!

[@Surferant666]

A new Bugs Go app update just happened. In it is a new bugs 2 se with follow me and circle me function. The new Bugs Go app now houses multiple quadcopter versions. I wonder if a firmware update via the bugs2w sd card slot could achieve the follow me function with the phone on 2.4ghz.... Cant see why not. The se app looks far more in depth with more telemetry available.

[@rodcoulter997]

Another excellent info video. FPV must use "802.11ac WiFi....5G. Important "tidbit" Just ordered one. Your BUGS2 SE(new silver) was great for comparison, BUGS just added 3 more features, "follow me, circle, and waypoint NAV" to the new one. Again, excellent and detailed T/E. BTW...all newer APPLE iPads and IPhones are 802.11ac. My old iPad2 is not. Nor is my old iPhone4. Good reason to upgrade. Keep flying....

[@ColonelKudzu]

Thanks for the Video! Best informative and explanatory video I've seen on this model.

[@4funrc11]

Impressive! Thx! :) Yep, double check your carrier to see if they have rolled-out 4G and/or Gigabit LTE in your coverage area. 4G and/or Gigabit LTE have been promised by most carriers (2017-2018+) and is currently available to limited areas. Your shirt? Reminds me of the tie-dyed, wild-child shirts from the 70's that were so very popular. Kinda cool. :)

[@Dragontrumpetare]

I am still a little amazed that no reviewer actually says that its very much like a Hubsan H501-series quad. :-) They amost equally in size, and in a sense almost the same design. I do think this one looks a lil meaner though. :-) It flies nice but I still think the H501-series from hubsan has a better camera.... you can clearly see jello in this camera.

[@RichM1967]

Most of the MJX Bugs will lift an action camera like a gopro, Git2, Firefly etc. and those will allow you to get rid of the Jello.

[@offmymeds9621]

Class 10 micro sd card takes care of the jello , I have no jello in mine.

[@Dragontrumpetare]

S. Kingsbury Hmm that's strange. To my knowledge sd-card has nothing to do with jello? 🤔

[@offmymeds9621]

I used the one from my dji mavic and it worked very well for me , but then again no 2 are created equal " quads anyway " . I will be uploading mine this week so feel free to come check it out :)

[@Dragontrumpetare]

S. Kingsbury I will do that

[@GroundControlRC]

Nice review! It looks like they need to do some serious work on the WIFI video reception. It also looked like a lot of lag in the video signal. Happy Flying!

[@jsmith6259]

Thanks for saying Meters not Feet!

[@robertsyputa6855]

Nice method of review for range of reception

[@pauledwards8721]

Hi, just wondering is the Bugs B2W faster when GPS is disabled? In theory it has same motors and power source as the other Bugs models (although I see it's slightly heavier). Trying to figure out how much less 'zip' the B2W has and whether GPS assist makes up for it :-) Cheers

[@onis1969]

buddy..you just did me a huge favor about the transmitter..thought mine was a lemon

[@seanbrooks9308]

Quadcopter 101- Perhaps you should do a review of the H501S and this... Doubt that it will happen, Sir. But it'd be an interesting one, coming from you.

[@AlexBondSmith]

I seem to remember that he did one some time back. I think he had taken it on vacation with him.

[@mountainbiker4450]

Hi: Looking to get our next quad after training on a Ares Ethos QX130.... Questions... 1. can you completely turn off GPS or must either GPS altitude or GPS position always be on? 2. In the latter point of your video (around 16 minutes) I thought you were well within the 100m WiFI FPV range you determined yet your phone screen was not showing the camera view? 3. I'm confused if you record the FPV video via the recording ap on your phone or does the quad have a SD card of some sort? Thanks

[@joaustin1]

Thanks for the videos. Great help. I do have a question. I recorded to my phone and can't find the video to play back. I don't have a sd card on my phone and it says it saves to my app. In my app I select the folder on top and and it says "connect not ready" an a wheel spins forever. Any ideas as to what I should be looking for. I looked in my gallery and not there either. I am using an android phone.

[@deegola]

So, would this be a good quad for someone who works in solar and just needs to be able to get some nice roof pictures on an IOS device? I’d be very close to my subject matter. And, can I Wi-Fi it to an iPad or just iPhone? Thanks and great video!

[@Quadcopter101]

Actually that might work.

[@HELIARCMASTER]

Great info but edit edit edit when needed. Beeps normally mean you are running low on battery.

[@nmsidewinder]

After looking at description of the quadcopter I didn't see any mention of a memory card for the camera. Does this record to a memory card as well or just a smart/cellphone. I have found that when downloading videos from cellphones/smart phones to the computer a lot of video quality is lost, so there goes your video and it becomes just another junky looking video. Other than that I like everything this drone had to offer and will get one if it had onboard video recording on a memory card.

[@paul._david]

nmsidewinder Yes if you put in a class 10 memory card in the drone.

[@melounar]

Good day, you need to have a b / g / n / ac band in your phone, or you need a b / g / n band without ac. Without AC I'll have about the reception picture is a few meters, right?

[@MurrayOrange]

One last question, I bought the MJX G3 Monitor with integrated receiver. Do you know if I will be able to transmit the signal from the SJCam and record at the same time?

[@chrislwood]

nice video... thanks for sharing... the instructions say to set the RTH... but don't say how. I assumed it would automatically set the home location at first GPS reception after connecting the drone battery (each time)... but when I pressed the RTH button (at about 20m out) the drone went straight up about 20 meters... I switched GPS off to regain control... was it flying to guandong province in china? How do you set the home location?

[@Quadcopter101]

It first climbs to 20 meters before flying home. This is so that it will avoid any obstacles (trees, telephone poles, etc..) on its return.

[@camilo9103]

Should i get this one or MJX bugs3 that can carry my 1080p action camera? :// i can't get live footage to my phone if i have the camera carrying one right?

[@4cpus4me]

Compass calibration doesn't matter if the camera is pointed up or down.

[@woofbark4475]

Would there be a WiFi repeater able to be hooked up to the internally? Any ideas appreciated! Thanks for the thoroughly fantastic reviews. Not sure about those multicolored t's however...it's time for your own 101 t-shirt design i think.

[@RaininCatsnDogs]

Woof Bark order a 5.8ghz wifi usb repeater attach it to a cheap powerbank and that should work

[@einsaan]

Thank you for the very detailed and informative video. Do you know how the Bugs2w sets the home point for RTH? I mean once you calibrate it and take off and then land it at another place, will you need to turn it off altogether and go through the process of recalibration to set the new home point before taking off from this new place? Or is it that the home point is reset automatically from the point you takeoff again without a need for turning it off?

[@Quadcopter101]

Unfortunately, I don't the answer to that question. But maybe one of the other viewers here does?

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Home Point is set at motor arming as is headless direction.

[@TheTwistedStone]

Why don't they include a little hook or loop on the top and back of the quadcopter to attach a piece of string for easier calibration ? Just dangle and spin...?

[@offmymeds9621]

I have this quad and think it's gr8. I use it with my samsung galaxy 6s and it has perfect video connection up to 500m out and 100m high. My flight distance without wifi is about 900m out at 120m high. Great video :)

[@Quadcopter101]

When did you get yours? I saw some early reviews of prototypes back in April/May that had amazing WiFi reception. But the one that I received is pre-production, and I think that they might have dialed the WiFi output power back (possibly for legal reasons).

[@offmymeds9621]

Quadcopter 101 Hi there , I got mine 2 weeks ago from a seller off eBay from right here in the US. Not sure how they got there hands on it .I like it better then my 501s. Just wish it had a little longer flight time Good thing I had multiple batteries for my bugs 3😎

[@Quadcopter101]

Yep, sounds like you got one of the early prototypes sent out for review. Consider yourself lucky.

[@offmymeds9621]

Quadcopter 101 Yes I'm starting to feel that way😀

[@loyaltyovermoney5942]

S. Kingsbury how is bugs 2 flying today

[@yhsif02]

Still waiting for bugs 3 cameras to come out b4 looking at this one.

[@mountainbiker4450]

Is this now called the Bugs 2SE on their site? Also, is this a sporty flyer like the Bugs 3W Mini? Can you turn off full GPS and just have altitude hold?

[@Quadcopter101]

Actually I've reviewed the 2SE separately. And yes, with 2SE you can turn off GPS and just have altitude hold. The following is my review of the Bugs 2SE (Special Edition). kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGbVk4unZdFpqtU

[@toddsimmons4937]

Hey great videos i watch all of them!!

[@mlinardo]

Hello 101, could you tell me if there was a first generation bugs 2? The reason I'm asking is I purchased a battery that didn't fit. When ask seller what's the deal he stated its for first generation bugs 2 that doesn't have the locking nob on bottom. This one have a clip on top and bottom.

[@Quadcopter101]

I was unaware that there was a second generation. But according to the following listing, there is amzn.to/2xE4KSw

[@loyaltyovermoney5942]

Michael Millines yes I notice my bugs2w have a lock switch under back of drone I see in video not every one have the battery lock the old battery won’t fit in new version but new version battery can fin in old version bugs2

[@mlinardo]

dave parks what I've done is use the battery from bugs 3 which cost a third of price, with a little mod works great. I now have 5 battery for bugs 2w.👍👍

[@mlinardo]

Larry Dommer thanks for taking time to respond but I'm way ahead. Yes that does work and what I use. Thanks again.

[@locouk]

What's the video latency like? I imagine you have to be careful approaching trees when not on LOS. I'd have a bug bear with the app logo if I had one, the red bug on blue background is hideous lol. I bet loads of viewers want Mr Quadcopter 101 to give them this neat quad. 👍🤔

[@brianu3536]

can you tell me if bugs 2 has different flight modes. I read the bugs 3 had 2 modes and a headlight. thanks

[@lenallan9098]

can you take off manually ?? can the camera point down a bit to avoid seeing the props? great revew

[@Quadcopter101]

Yes, and no.

[@roadstar499]

can you fly this without using a phone and still have gps, altitude hold and have it land automatically to spot it took off from like the other one you reviewed (baygood white one that takes a go pro) thax

[@Surferant666]

Hi qc101. Great review on this drone. I bought one from watching your channel. What i would like help on is how to get the follow me mode and circle me mode working. I think it needs the phone linked to do this but as yet I have not seen or read any tutorials of how to do this. Please can you make a video showing how to execute these operations. Thanks.

[@Quadcopter101]

I think that you may be confusing the Bugs 2W with my review of the similar looking Hubsan H501S. Unfortunately, the Bugs 2W does not have circle me or follow me capability. However, the similar looking Hubsan H501S does have these capabilities.

[@Surferant666]

Quadcopter 101 thanks for the reply. Im pretty sure it does have a follow me function. Not built into the controller however. This is one of the reasons i bought it. It uses the gps on the phone to activate it.... Ill see if i can find where it says so and post it here.

[@Quadcopter101]

Well that's a new feature for it to me. Please let me know what you find.

[@Surferant666]

For some reason i cant add a screenshot here, but on the BANGGOODs website for the bugs 2 it states in RED letters of the items description further down the page that it has a "PERFECT ADVANCED FOLLOWER" mode... I had assumed that this is the follow me function. (With GPS auto positioning system, accurate positioning location, perfect advanced follower.) link here to page: www.banggood.com/MJX-B2W-Bugs-2W-Monster-WiFi-FPV-Brushless-With-1080P-HD-Camera-GPS-RC-Quadcopter-RTF-p-1144178.html?rmmds=search&ID=224522177&cur_warehouse=CN thanks

[@Quadcopter101]

Sorry, but I don't know what they meant by "advanced follower". But again, this drone does not have follow me capability. Recommend checking out other more recent reviews on this drone to see if I may wrong.

[@MurrayOrange]

Hi, I just wanted to get your expertise to confirm that I can power the TS5828 FPV 5.8Ghz 600mW transmitter directly from the Bugs 2 - 7.4v battery? Or do I need a converter? I want to connect the transmitter from the bugs 2 battery to my SJCam. Thanks again for you help! Keep up the great work!

[@Quadcopter101]

You can power the TS5828 off of the Bugs 2 balance plug, similar to how I did it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKwiqqXg5yUebc here kzbin.info/www/bejne/noe6f4d7htlskKs or here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGeXkHt8j9aLgLc

[@MurrayOrange]

Thanks again for the help. Would you know if they make a Micro-USB to Balance Charger/Transmitter cable? Because the one they sent me with the transmitter is mini-USB that doesn't fit in my SJCAM. Or will a mini-USB to Micro-USB adapter work? I can't seem to find any ready made cables with micro-USB. They also sell DIY micro-USB cables with open ended wires that you wire yourself to convert. What would be better? to DIY convert it, or just use an adapter? Sorry about the long message.

[@Quadcopter101]

They all drop with time. If you can't fly outdoors for 3 months, wait. There will be better, more capable, and lower cost drones. The technology behind this hobby changes and improves very rapidly.

Hi Q101 I only have a 2.4G phone so I have a few questions about the MJX Bugs B2W. Is it possible to fly this drone, .. and control the photo/ video to the built in SD card, with just the controller and not connecting to the 5.8G FPV at all? I'm looking for an inexpensive Headless/ GPS/1080p/ Brushless drone/ quadcopter, and have also looked at the Hubsan H216A (but I believe this MUST use the app to fly the quadcopter at all :( ) ... and also the Hubsan H501S, which is out of my price range at the moment. Many thanks for your help :)

[@Quadcopter101]

Yes, if FPV is not important, recommend looking at both the Bugs 2C (and not Bugs 2W), and the Hubsan 501C. Both the B2C and 501C do not use phone or WiFi, do not have FPV capability, and are line of sight flying only. But both have reasonably good cameras. Here's my H501C kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqDLl555lr10q6c

Yes it uses a XT30 connector for 2S batteries. You can use the widely available and cheap Bugs 3 batteries for this quadcopter.

[@MurrayOrange]

Hi, I have all the parts and cables I need to mod my Bugs 2 to radio frequency FPV from my SJCam. However, the one cable I cannot find is the one that goes from (USB mini) my SJCam to the battery intput balance plug and to the transmitter output plug. I have been able to find some cables that go to the transmitter but the plug on the cable that goes to the balance plug is for a much smaller battery and therefore, It will not connect. My question is it possible to purchase the correct cable(s) premade or will I have to mod a cable to fit the the battery balance plug? Basically I need the cable(s) that run from the SJCam to the transmitter and the cable that also runs from the transmitter to the battery balance plug. If there are existing cable(s), would someone be so kind as to direct me where to purchase them and/or what the name of them is? Thank you very much for reading and if possible for responding. Much appreciated!

[@raymondpalermo4998]

So there is a coupon code for 30% off .Can I get the bugs 2 non fpv version for 136.00 from Banggod ?.I think this is better quality than the Hubsan 501 because I hear that it has been a 50/50 shot of getting a good 501 or bad one.I know you have the 502e and you seem to have a very good quad with no issues but it is brushed and maybe they are better than the 501.

[@offmymeds9621]

It's beeping because your at low voltage , all the lights will start flashing red , just a heads up. Iv'e flown about 40 packs through mine. Flight time is only about 10 to 12 minutes. Still gr8 fun though for the price...

[@electroddxful]

Could you let me know when is a available. Thanks

[@patanderson3580]

I have a cheerson cx-20 ,would i have to do the same calibration each time i fly and will you be doing a review on the cheerson cx-23.

[@Quadcopter101]

It's a good idea to do such with the CX-20, especially if you notice unstable hover after takeoff. And yes, I've been promised a CX-23 for review by one of my sponsors.

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Thanks for your great review. you mentioned that we need to have a 5g phone, is there any phone / tablet with 5g ?? I have iphone and iPad, not sure neither one has 5g...

[@Quadcopter101]

+Ophélie Courtial you have to check their specs to see if they're 802.11ac WiFi capable. 802.11ac is fifth generation WiFi, and operates on 5Ghz band.

[@number2ophelie]

thanks so much, you're awesome ! would you be able to give your opinion on the best option for a drone under 250$ ? I checked many of your videos, but it's hard when you don't know much about drone :) thanks so ,much for your great reviews !

Would you know why is that bugs b2w back CCW motor is wobbling. I have never crash it. I check the screw mount on the motor and they are all tight. I need your help. Thank you so much.

Also check your propeller to make sure that it's securely attached and not warped or damaged. But if it looks fine, the motor may need to be replaced. Replacement motors for the Bugs are widely available amzn.to/2ESZsZm If the drone is relatively new, make sure to contact your vendor's customer service to see if they can help (mainly they should offer a partial refund to purchase a replacement motor).

[@electroddxful]

Quadcopter 101 I have check the propellers and they look fine. Does these propellers require balancing. I also hear a winding noise on them also. I will buy the motors. Thank you so much.

[@Quadcopter101]

No the propellers shouldn't require balancing out of the box.

[@electroddxful]

Quadcopter 101 I will let you know when I replace the motor on it. Thank you so much for helping me out.

[@electroddxful]

Quadcopter 101 Does the bugs b2w have the same motors as the husban h501s?

[@joecro8463]

Hello again "Quadcopter 101". Many thanks for your review of the MJX "Bugs 2" brushless motored quadcopter. It was a fantastic review, and like many other reviews before it I thbnk you pushed me over the edge to buy one. With brushless motors, GPS, altitude hold, stable video, etc etc. I think it's a must have for the price. Many thanks again for the great review of the MJX "Bugs2", and as always, very best regards. Joe Cro

[@Quadcopter101]

I actually took this on vacation with me (along with the DJI Spark). So yes, I do think that the Bugs 2 is a remarkable quadcopter.

[@joecro8463]

I appreciate your advice, and could easily tel by the enthusiasm in your voice during the review that you really liked it! I think I'll go looking around for the best price and buy one! Very best regards, Joe Cro

[@robertgreen6547]

straight up test would be cool

[@Surferant666]

Today was my first day flying my Bugs 2w... one thing I noticed was it drifted a lot in the wind.. how can I stop this, I thought they had position hold.. or am I also mistaken about that function .. regards.

[@Quadcopter101]

It has an excellent GPS system and position hold. There is a button just below the left stick. That button lets you turn the GPS position hold on and off. Move it to the right to ensure the GPS position hold is activated. Also recommend watching the above video starting at 7:25 for other tips on this drone.

[@Surferant666]

Quadcopter 101 thank you for the quick reply, the bugs 2w was on gps from the beginning, but seemed to drift quite a lot above 30m, so had to apply opposite stick to maintain position. I almost lost it over the tree line - luckily i pressed rth in time. Am i missing something or was the wind just too strong for the gps? It could easily fly into the wind manually. Oh and i had approx 9 sats locked

[@Quadcopter101]

9 satellites is the bare minimum for a satellite lock to maintain position. Chances are you lost one of them in flight, which caused the drifting. I always let a GPS drone sit on the ground to get at least 11 satellites before takeoff to prevent loss of GPS lock.

[@Surferant666]

Ah ok, great, so it should hold in windy conditions if i leave it hovering in gps mode with 11 sats. ill go out and try that later. thanks qc101

[@Quadcopter101]

No. I meant don't even take off from the ground until you have at least 11 satellites locked on. If you takeoff with only 9, you might lose one in flight. If it momentarily drops below 9 satellites, the drone will automatically switch from GPS to altitude hold mode, where it will drift with the wind.

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

very awesome my friend

[@robstone8435]

Hi, what do you think it is gonna cost?

[@Quadcopter101]

I think that it's about $40 more than the "C" (camera only) model. Here's one retailer's listing goo.gl/Tf7tri Not sure what the difference is in Standard vs Professional version?

[@howardworf6760]

How do you record video from the camera? Is it done to the phone from the FPV signal or is their an on board SD/TF card?

[@Quadcopter101]

+Howard Worf on board microSd card.

[@howardworf6760]

Thanks - I couldn't find out from the specifications listed on any of the retailer's sites. And apologies for 'their' instead of 'there' - doh! Somehow I missed you explaining this at the beginning of the video too. Sorry. And it looks like none of the phones in the house have 5kz, but I've got an 8" tablet that does.

[@paulolita4294]

Hi sir, what phone model did you use to connect in the bugs 2w because mine can't connect to my phone. My phone model is asus zenfone 3 max

[@Quadcopter101]

As discussed in the video, and also listed in the cons of the video description, this phone uses 802.11ac 5G WiFi. Not all phones have this capability. As per the following site, your phone has 802.11b/g/n Wifi (not ac). Unfortunately it will not work with your Bugs 2W. www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_max_zc520tl-8207.php

[@commandernoodles2367]

Where do we buy extra batteries for MJX Bugs 2 B2W?

[@jannotuberandomd898]

Hi sir,! what are the phone that compatible to these drone..

[@brianu33]

can anyone tell me how high the heli goes when you press return tobhome. I'm at park and suddenly it shoots 2x higher than trees. I think I went to hit camera but hit home instead.

[@Quadcopter101]

I think that the default return to home altitude is 30 meters. But the idea of the climb is to avoid hitting any trees, homes, or telephone poles/wires on the return flight.

[@Timoffie]

banggood has them i believe not in stock yet thou didnt think they would cost as much as they do thou. im not up for 300$ Australian on something like that lol

[@erikrasmussen5804]

That’s a really nice drone

[@mydronezone5507]

hey drone friends!

[@prarabhshrivastava4572]

Sir On the bugs 2w is wifi fpv is really good or not or what is the maximum range of fpv and will fpv lags under 300m or worked great plz help .I am really confused which one to purchase b2w or b2c is it worth spending 30$ more on b2w .

[@Quadcopter101]

Maximum FPV range is between 200 to 300 meters. But it is worth it as it uses 5G WiFi (not the older 2.4Ghz slow data stream WiFi). BUT you must have a 5G (802.11ac) WiFi capable phone to use it. If you have an older phone, the Bugs 2W FPV may not work with it. Do not purchase unless you are absolutely sure that your phone can receive its WiFi video (Google your phone's WiFi specs).

[@ylou4901]

Hi , what is his weight with the battery ?

[@hyperhelis4313]

Is there a 5.8ghz wifi adapter that will work with an older 2.4ghz android phone?

[@rogereverett4467]

Silent Ride no

[@jeremychotto2688]

I know this sounds crazy have u heard anything about dropouts in the bugs 2w it has done it twice both times luckily falling close and low and never lost power battery still locked in really worried

[@Quadcopter101]

No I have not. But it would be best to ask your question in the following forum. There are many owners of the Bugs @ there, and they would be better able to answer your question www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2870099-MJX-Bugs-2-B2W-GPS-1080p-Camera-5-8-FPV-2km-range-Dual-way-transmitter/page168

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

A word of caution for those endurance fanatics who will no doubt continue flying this fun little quad (within the 100m high/300m distance envelope) after the 2-bar battery warning starts. Make absolutely sure that there are no trees, buildings, kids' swimming pools, fish ponds etc within that 15m radius of your take-off point! If you are between the 2 envelope limits when the battery drops to 1 bar the quad will fail-safe RTH to your take-off point without too much trouble. BUT.. if you are passing through the inner envelope when the change occurs you can bet your bottom dollar that it will drop directly and uncontrolably right where you don't want it to! And no, I haven't.... YET! ;-) (EDIT - the above has been found to be not completely correct! During battery fail-safe RTH you have no control during return AND while it is hovering & deciding when to land. You cannot cancel the auto landing BUT - during descent you get stick control back & can guide your Bugs to a safe landing. So just fly above all impediments you may encounter during a battery RTH and all will be sweet!)

[@chrisyork6752]

Hey quadcopter, would you say the force 1 F200C is a better drone than this one in this vid?

[@Quadcopter101]

The F200C is a rebranded version of the MJX Bugs 2C. The F200C does not have live FPV video reception like the quadcopter shown in this video, and can only record video to a microSD card onboard the quadcopter.

[@chrisyork6752]

Ok thank you, also does the bugs 2 C have the same flight distance as the one mentioned here?

[@Quadcopter101]

Yes. but again you'll not be seeing real-time flight video while flying. You'll need to fly using the following skill kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5W8hXacn7qJjNE

[@chrisyork6752]

Ok thank you for your help, I’m going to get the one here in the vid, I like it and I think it will be ok for me as I’m a beginner.

[@Quadcopter101]

Keep in mind that the one in this video requires a 5G WiFi phone. Make certain that your phone is 5G WiFi capable before purchasing.

[@barrystpierre4416]

On my bugs b2w app it keeps telling me something about going to permissions needs robots, when I go into permissions everything is checked, anyone know what to do? Thanks

[@ibeckham1807]

Compared to the mjx b5w, which is better ??

[@bagusputra7582]

hi wanna ask what the different with bugs 2c?any big gap between them?thanks

[@Quadcopter101]

+Good Yeah Bugs 2C does not have FPV. Although it does have a 1080p camera that records to a mictoSD card, you can not view the in flight video view while flying.

[@bagusputra7582]

Quadcopter 101 so when bugs 2c on flight it cannot show real time video record?can i get the recording video copy from mjx apps?

[@Quadcopter101]

No. As the 2C does not have any WiFi capability there is no app for it. You will need to instead manually download the recorded video from the microSD card. You can do such with a USB card reader with your computer, or by placing the microSD card into your phone's card slot (if it has one).

[@hotrod7673]

Does any bugs 2 owners know if the stock battery 7.4volt 1800mah battery is able to be replaced using a modified bugs 3 2300mah battery 7.4volt

[@syminsays3053]

Yes u can as long as voltage same

[@sirihpinang]

hi, im still not sure about the 5G wifi on the phone. how do we know that our ohone support 5 G?

[@Quadcopter101]

Go into your phone's WiFi settings, and see if 5G WiFi is mentioned there. If not, you likely have 2.4Ghz WiFi which will not work with this quadcopter.

[@sirihpinang]

Quadcopter 101 oohk.i got it 😀

[@georgeaura]

it seems alot like the hubsan I will probably be getting the bugs 6 or 8

[@clevewofford538]

is the bugs 2 just as fast as bugs 3 are the same

[@basetau3200]

Awasome details review.

[@jonasbrock3959]

Is it possible to use Samsung Galaxy A 3 with it.

[@hippywildchildracing]

Hello 101 what is the best repeater for the bugs 2 thank you

[@Quadcopter101]

Not sure yet. The one repeater that I tried didn't work very well with it kzbin.info/www/bejne/l17Wc5KbebKZlc0

[@hippywildchildracing]

Quadcopter 101 ty you sir

[@mudassarrauf3458]

What about the image stabilization? Does it have it?

[@Quadcopter101]

There is no image stabilization. And I do not recommend flying any brushless motor indoors as it is unsafe.

[@MikeRM399]

Hi mr QuadCopter 101 very nice review , this is MikeDroneUfo (newyoutubechannel) my question is: Is this Quadcopter bugs 2w have to be register on FAA ? thanks

[@Quadcopter101]

Yes as it weighs more than 250 grams. But it's only $5 and 5 minutes to do so here faadronezone.faa.gov/#/register

[@rightawaycarhaulers5460]

How much is a ticket if I don't pay to get my drone registered and you get caught

[@countyuro9142]

Kalo ke Xiaomi mi A1 bisa connect ga bang?
