MJX Bugs 5W GPS FPV 1080p Brushless Drone - HONEST REVIEW & FLIGHTS

[@LaughingInfidel]

Finally! I found a review that shows the actual FPV lag! People, if you're reviewing a drone, show us the drone and the video feed and then move the drone!

[@markweinberger3693]

Nice straight forward review. Very thorough and easy to understand unlike some reviews I’ve watched.

[@michaelweir1003]

Hey man! Just found your channel. I purchased the Bugs 5w and you helped me get it up an running! Your flight tutorial was very helpful. Thanks again!

[@dronecamps]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching buddy

[@joeyredmon]

Just bought one of these as I my first drone. Great review.

[@oliviergoggins]

Same! It is a really good drone. Do you maybe now an iPad holder that fits for this drone?

[@nicokillian2675]

Did get one today, will put into the air tomorow after this video

[@woodsoncircle]

I'm late to the party but I always look forward to watching your videos sir 👌. Liked and subscribed !

[@dronecamps]

Thanks welcome to the channel Kras!

[@enriquevilca8564]

Great reviews bro! Thanks so much it really help me make my mind!

[@clarkimmanuel2626]

Pro tip: you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@phillipjaxton2998]

@Clark Immanuel Yup, have been watching on kaldrostream for years myself =)

[@99topey]

Thanks for this review brother, i'm about to buy this one..

[@tjingelinget]

Bought this drone for a friend. I hope he gets quality for the money. I paid 143 dollar with 2 batteries included

[@roadstar499]

on the bugs 2 if you want to stop return to home do you also hit the return button a second time..? thax

[@Georgewrigley]

Great review buddy. Love the Bugs range- have the 3 and 6. Cheers Justin. :)

[@charleshenderson3447]

Thanks brother, I just got mine today!!

[@Zakeronicheese]

Any good?

[@charleshenderson3447]

Dude the Bugs 5W is Awesome!!! Pretty much the best thing you can get for the amount of money you're spending only other drone that could compare would be a hubsan but at the same time the hubsan does not have the movable camera. I also have a bugs 3 which is free stick not a GPS drone I think that's my best flyer but my B2 SE is also every bit as awesome as that bugs 5w.

[@Zakeronicheese]

Great review. Wish my bugs 2 and 3 batteries worked. Now I gotta ramp up for this one

[@swoopaf8536]

As always another great review. Thanks bro.

[@MrCrowleyandhisdrone]

Cool drone for the money

[@johnaverick7468]

Can you fly it without a phone if you want ?

[@jimsweeney6074]

I've had mine since July 2018. It's a great drone, but I crashed it and broke my camera. I cannot find a replacement camera for this. you would think that a replacement camera would be one of the first things they would offer.

[@CalmRestRelax]

i would of liked to see the failsafe auto land in action you said you was going to show that important feature but instead pressed return to home manually

[@royrice8597]

Great video! I haven't got this yet but will need this video to help me.....written insts. only take you so far. Thanx, Roy, Ruidoso, NM

[@brendonjude2361]

Nice review and amazing drone.

[@derikdang8829]

Very nice review again Justin. If you compare this MJX and Hubsan drone, i.e. H216A X4 Design Pro, which one is better? Thanks Justin.

[@kenlacey9319]

I was able to get 300m before my wifi cut out in a suburban area at 140m altitude (max altitude 150m) which I think is really good. I completely lost line of sight before wifi by a long way. The camera is the weak point here. Videos are ok, but shaky and a bit choppy. Still images though are more like 2MP than 8MP quality. MJX definitely overstate the stats, and have given consumers BS answers to their queries/complaints. Also the construction seems pretty solid for most of the unit, especially of the propellers. That said when I received mine the part where the camera mount screws in was broken straight out the box, and the clip from the camera cable broke off when trying to unclip it before even using it. I nearly sent it back right away. Overall it's a fun capable fast drone, more of an all-rounder than a selfie drone. Great if you can get the range I got (Samsung s7 edge btw) and there's some real ups and downs. You're not getting a ski for a bargain though, remember that.

[@k2plustv]

try to replace the wifi anthena with 2 clover fpv anthena. i moded my b5w and it can go 600 meters distance without lossing fpv

[@SSToor]

You're welcome John. Thanks for watching ! - JD.

[@Heiple2007]

Hubsan cameras kick the crap out of the Bugs'. Thanks for the good work Justin, Wi-Fi sucks too. Jeff

[@CanadianDroneHub]

Love the reviews and info on here

[@enzopulido2579]

Can you add a flir camera there? And which bugs drone is better? I need a drone that can run longer fh and further for search and rescue at 200usd or less please suggest some.

[@davieb68]

I just tried to fly this exact drone my 2nd time and I’m not getting a WiFi signal on my app but I am on my controller, does that matter ? A couple days ago my first go at this I got read outs on both ?

[@HippyDave57]

Good review man..I've been looking at this one since it came out..It seem the only thing it has on the Bugs 2w is the better camera, follow me, and the orbit feature. I can get right at 300 meters with my Bugs 2 with the live feed on a 7" Tablet. The actual range of the Bugs 5 is a little disappointing by comparison, but the price is lower than the Bugs 2w by $20 in my area, so I'll probably go ahead & get one..if I want to fly far out I'll use my Bugs 2w.

[@tedcharp]

Not too bad. Camera looks good. Great review Justin thanks #helpothers

[@Laatuvideo]

When you put the battery in the drone, you have to wait 8 seconds and a beep before calibrating. Vertical calibration should be performed with the camera facing upwards according to the instructions. My Android application is in Chinese. !?!

[@costas4287]

I don't have internet on my phone can I still fly it?.Can I put a monitor fpv?I have glasses and cannot use fat goggles. What would you suggest? I'm a newbie and appreciate your advice. Sorry about the stupid questions.

[@slebdad]

Nice review, good GPS and return to home. The WiFi is it’s failing point. If it were 5.8 it would be much better and compare better with the Hubsan 501ss.

[@Bodybydubs]

Thinking about getting one and putting a gopro session it and remove the default camera. I dont need live view. What you think?

[@epsonexxon1088]

Hello Drone Camp, I love your detailed video on B5W. What type of video format do we use when we format a minimsd card? Can we watch videos recorded to the mini sd card thru the app? Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@HippyDave57]

I ended up getting the Bugs3 Pro..I didn't realize the Bugs5 was smaller than the Bugs2w..I wanted a bigger bird, longer flying time too. Don't get me wrong...I'll be back for the Bugs5!

[@andrewrolfsen7230]

Maybe I missed it. Can you shoot stills with this drone? what's the camera capability?

[@seanmurty7757]

Yes

[@gautamsenthilkumar823]

Hi good review can you tell me can we use up and away in this drone ?

[@ukausb]

Somewhere (I forgot where) one can get it for 120$. Significantly cheaper than the 502s, which otherwise is better. What I do like about this Bugs is how quiet it is.

[@johnaverick7468]

So, what the heck was the final verdict on how high and how far out would it go in meters ?? 175 meters out before it lost Wifi or Control communication ?

[@hhampton]

Is there a way to charge multiple batteries using a hobby grade charger and balance board.

[@dionathamrodriguespinto7672]

Can I use an 8-inch tablet in the control holder?

[@mosesjh8272]

thank you

[@dronecamps]

You’re welcome !

[@vetrix2724]

Does it have auto return to home if it disconnects completely from the remote, also if it’s going flat will it auto return to home ??? Cheers 👌🏻

[@Coinfox]

Can this drone be controlled with the phone without the remote?

[@simaroaerial7237]

Hello, nice review as always. Ordered one 3 days ago and waiting to receive it. Would you please add a link to buy battery and propeller for the MJX bug 5w. Also plan to use my Opaa camera instead on this drone. Any comments on that will be appreciated. Thanks

[@CellularFixation]

My problem with many of these drones is the availability of replacement parts. When I would fly helis I would stick with TREX and Blade eflight. You could easily obtain parts and upgrades. Half of the drones coming out are throw away toys.

[@dronecamps]

Actually lots of the toy ones have parts. You just have to find them. Even the mini Hubsan ones have parts online. I used to fly TREX 700. HV so I know what you mean though. MJX is one of the higher end toy drone brands you can get extra frames motors etc for.

[@oliviergoggins]

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

[@brianschotts9313]

Looking for my first drone. Looking for something under $200. SJRC F11 Pro OR JJRC X7 Smart OR MJX Bugs B5W?

[@Donglv]

When low battery alarm on remote, still 02 vertical line on remote, how long the drone stop ?

[@Dlaguin]

Hello what phone are you using ?

[@Novi81flyer]

Nice review! Bonus points for honesty, as always :-D I would prefer 5.8 analog ower wifi any time. I don't like the range and camera. Really week points. For entry level Hubsan H501 have much better range and camera

[@dronecamps]

My Hubsan H501S does great.

[@MyMegaJOKER2]

Camera of the hubsan is shit though

[@sgtcannaboid]

*weak

[@edwinnegron7761]

I agree that it is not the greatest. I added a BTG landing with gimbal for my go-pro and I still get shaky video. Has anyone else experienced this and a way to resolve? I tried changing the dampers to see if that would help out? BTW this is for my Hubsan H501S model.

[@stephenmcbride6359]

Balance your props. That in itself will get rid of most, if not all, jello. Lots of vids on youtube to show you how.

Sir what phone model did you use to connect to the mjc bugs 5w

[@didactylos4diddy474]

It's a very good cheap GPS camera drone but in a desire to get all the bells and whistles cheaply they put them all in a wifi app. I'm not sure that it is truly a competitor for the Hubsan simply because of the fpv limitations but some will like it.

[@NeilLund]

What mic are you using to record your voice?

Is it possible to answer me BAYANGTOYS X22, MJX Bugs 5W or Hubsan H501S X4 ???

Hey dude nice video i would appreciate an answer from you or you guys . My question is should i buy this drone or the hubsan 501s as soon as you answer i would order what you recommend . Ive never flown a drone but ive spent over 200hours reading about them i just want the best drone for my money . I think either of them is gonna be a great first drone .

[@dronecamps]

Hubsan 501s is hard to beat.

[@dazspurs9899]

The landscape keeps changing colour think I’ll go with the parrot bebop 2

[@thijss1272]

Man that cam is fairly good for a cheap quad. Mjx never disapoints with making toy/hobby grade products, Kind of in between those 2

[@dronecamps]

MJX is usually good for me. They all fly pretty damn good. When I get a new MJX drone I am usually comfortable going out to fly it for the maiden flight. Other toy drones haha I have had some fails. Thats why as a reviewer you never drive a half hour to fly just one quadcopter. You better have a few just in case one eats the big one. My fail collection of video needs to be compiled. lol. - JD.

Try tapping the 180 degree icon on your phone, on the Bugs app. You may of accidentally touched it

Does any cell type matter. One video said that 5G was necessary. I think that was a error as 5G is not out yet. I hope to get one for Father's Day.

How do I know if my phone is compatible with this drone?

[@efesae6500]

@VALHALLA SKOL yes, your phone needs to have a 5G function. I have a Huawei Y6, which only has 4G, so I decided to save up a bit more and buy a Parrot Bebop 2, which I highly recommend.

[@uacl028]

Honesty works EVERY TIME, thanks for that, the color is all over the place ain't it, lost connection a lot. IDK . The GPS landing was awesome. Has to be a 5g phone?

[@dronecamps]

You're welcome. I think a lot of these drones are ok. None are perfect for sure. This one isn't bad but could use some better wifi realtime frame transmission. At least it flies good. Video is somewhere in the middle as far as these 1080p drones go.
