MJX Bugs 5W - Camera FPV upgrade - Fitment

[@mikepatton5210]

Just finished the up grade to my jjrc x5 epik . The fpv wifi was my only problem with this drone. With this set up I doubled my not only distance but quality. Thanks for making it so easy!

[@RichardPanico81]

Good job on this video, man. I love the fact that it’s silent all the way through. Makes it a lot easier to retain. Thanks for posting, im trying this mod.

[@ew7007]

Fantastic instructional quality video. Nice job! Very clear. Very detailed. And no rambling talking. Every step was covered. I wish that all the other people posting "How To" videos would take a moment and watch this and learn. I've seen comercially made cell phone repair videos that weren't this good. Kudos and a high five! Liked and subscribed.

[@alancrespo835]

I did this exact mode and it gave me better FPV. I used Pagota 2’s. Thanks Sean M.

[@epsonexxon1088]

How far did your setup go on fpv..?

[@robertholsopple9451]

Just sticking the stock antennas out the side case was a HUGE improvement. My fpv range was extended nearly double what I used to get. I'm waiting for my cloverleaf antennas to arrive. UPDATE I dont notice any difference with the cloverleaf at all.

[@charleshenderson3447]

I can't wait to see the flight test.

[@redhashahari8763]

Slow and steady.

[@robertholsopple9451]

I did this mod and I dont notice any difference at all from stock.

[@bryantmaximilionalpha2840]

I modded the antenna on my B5W as well and started noticing a jerky flight. Whenever I would go forward, the quad would start to fight against me, with jerking .

Hola buenas tardes.... esta cámara se puede enlazar con un FPV

[@petartomic4041]

does it work with MJX Bugs 5W 4K version ?

[@pranjal3727]

Will it work if i just use the this camera module without the drone? I have a drone and want to add fpv feature

[@manu_thind]

i can see qualcomm atheros chip on board

[@максимгаврютин-э8б]

На сколько у вас дальность стала?

[@mjxdrones7123]

Just done mine last night was easy enough.then I upgraded the antennas as the ones on controller are fake.waiting on good weather now.i will post results here

[@robertholsopple9451]

Been 6 months. Must be zome bad weather bro. Lol

[@julig.4534]

hello how can you connect fpv signal I understand that you can only use wifi. can you explain to me how to do it in fpv thanks hola como puedes conectar señal fpv tengo entendido que solo se puede por wifi. me puedes explicar como hacerlo en fpv gracias

[@colinwells]

First you need to check your mobile phone is 5G Wifi compatable - search your phones specifications either in the instruction manual or Google it . Under wireless connectivity column check for symbols with 802.11ac or sometimes you will see WiFi 5G. Then you must download the "Bugs5W" app onto your phone. The Bugs 5W drone sends out the Wifi signal to your phone.

[@w.a.a.mandrademendez6970]

Buenas tardes.... que dimensión es el conector de estas antenas cual es

[@cyborgfpv7361]

hello man, I have some cuestions. the antenas have to be polarized at the same side? one atena is for transmittig and the other for recibing?

[@colinwells]

I honestly don't know. I think they are just the same.

[@nicolabaronchelli5811]

Great! What distance do you see?

[@MaarCeel]

Hi. I have jjrc jjpro x5. It's the same with mjx bugs 5w. These antennas are at a frequency of 5.8 G. The droning camera transmits to a frequency of 5180 G. In Europe and Japan. When I put these antennas there, does it work? What frequency do you use for this camera? Antena Working frequency: 5645-5945mhz

[@colinwells]

I dont know the answer to that Marcel, there is a good Bugs 5W page on Facebook where there are some technical guys who will be able to gove you an answer.

[@MaarCeel]

@@colinwells well thank you

[@themusichallacademy2787]

It that increased the fpv range or anything else? Worked so clean!

[@chapanation856]

Will the 8 centimeter camera fit on a Bugs 5w that came with 7 cm camera?

[@jakejocson5492]

Can i put this cam to other drone?

[@Atriperri]

Compatibile con smartphone?

[@teaeriaandrews3239]

How much are the 4 leaf are and how far can u go with these mod

[@oliviergoggins]

Hi, do you know an iPad holder that fits for this controller?

[@colinwells]

Sorry, I don't. Probably best to Google it.

[@PhBikeLife]

Great job mate 👍

[@cavililla]

Hello! Have you tested yet with 1 x50mm and 1 x 70mm?? Please tell us if it works and if you could make a video testing it, better!! Thanks a lot!!

[@robertholsopple9451]

I did it. They are even but I dont notice any fpv difference from the stock setup.

[@V_channel_]

Great video, thanks a lot! 👍

[@oliviergoggins]

Electric tape or what tape did you use, link where you bought it, please?

[@colinwells]

It's just basic electrical insulation tape for autmotive wiring. Just Google "electrical insulation tape"

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

I did same thing with the visuo 812

[@mattwillis1]

So does this improve range? If so, by how much?

[@colinwells]

This improoves the First Person Video range - what you view on your mobile phone screen when flying. Before the mod I was getting 230 - 260 meters. I done my first flight today and got 564 meters with the new antennas. I want to adjust the position of the antenna so that the clover heads are below the body of the Bugs - to see if it makes a difference.

[@colinwells]

Matt, I have now updated the description with the results. I got 569 meters FPV

[@robertholsopple9451]

I didnt make a difference for me.

[@tafa1524]

Pigtail or ipex?

[@MrTatuyatatuya]

As a beginner, please tell me。What is the specification of the connector terminal of the antenna?

[@colinwells]

I believe the connector type is called " UFL connector" it clips in and pulls off.

[@douglasbradley9606]

i need to know which cell phone to buy. do you have a suggestion.

[@colinwells]

The Bugs 5W drone gives out a 5g Wifi signal to the phone so the cell phone needs to be compatable with "5g Wifi" - check the specifications of the phone and look for "WiFi 802.11ac" if it has this then it is ok . I have a Samsung S6 which is two years old now but works.

[@douglasbradley9606]

thanks.

[@przemekstraeto3515]

The best is just add extra cam on the front ..and use google...1 km range ...

[@goldie9864]

Which camera? I just ordered an eachine TX03 for my micro drones , but those have short range I believe.

[@oliviergoggins]

@@goldie9864 I thought TX03 has over 1 km range.

[@goldie9864]

@@oliviergoggins I think you're right and I'm mistaken. Mixed reviews on videos especially when it comes to the different power settings and how much of a difference they really make (except eating up battery life)

[@oliviergoggins]

@@goldie9864 I am looking for a video drone that is the best under $200 I think this is the best for under $200 for taking videos? Maybe I should wait for the MJX BUGS 4W this drone might be better. What do you think?

[@goldie9864]

@@oliviergoggins People are waiting to see what the unreleased mjx 4 will be like. I think jjrc has something similar that has poor video, but mjx are pretty good at improving on things. the quality of the bugs 5 camera is fine for my needs. one day makers will install a proper gimbal/camera on sub $200 drones. Maybe the Fimi line is something to look into.

[@tadeuszwojcik4748]

[@rodrigozepeda378]

hola esto aumenta el alcance wifi 5g de la camara del dron al celular, saludos

[@scottyfjr1300]

Good job....i will try to the same ....

[@davidtovey7748]

Hi Austin if you had put the one that crosses the pcb towards the back of camera and the other one to the front .( swop them over on plugs) they would be almost the same length out the back .

[@colinwells]

Thanks David, I did realise this after I had done the video. I have ordered a 70 mm long antenna and will be using it alongside the (long)50mm so that they both hang a fair and even distance from the camera body - then angle them downwards so they might give a better signal. Unfortunately Banggood delivery are not quick !

[@Januar_koto]

Mantap ok like

[@vladimirs2370]

Я бы старые антенны обрезал под основание и концы на термокембрики посадил, зачем лишний вес на борту возить

[@mattomamato]

wifi camera mjx b5w is 5G. and you use the 2,4 Ghz for the upgrade. how could that be?? 😂🤣😅

[@cmtwgrdk2748]

because it works ;o) and if you knew how things work, you should have known ;o)

95% time making love to it instead of working on it. You took 27 minutes to show 10 minutes of work. 🙄 Did you tell anyone what improvements it had??
