Hi ya Ryan, I have the black version of the MJX X600 and it spoiled me. Love this little hex man, once you get used to it, it's a blast to fly. If you want longer flight times, put a 7.4 v 1000 mill amp in it, press the top left orange button on the top of the transmitter and turn off the lights and you'll get about 15 min per flite and 12 min out of the stock battery. Also do the range mod >>-> MJX X600 Mini HexaCopter Range Mod - Double Stock Range Tutorial - Step by Step >>-> kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIbPeIeJetV-oLM Nice little Hex and it will fly with a Run-Cam or a knock-off GoPro swung under it with no problem with great flight times...PS get a few extra motors if you want to fly with a cam See ya in the air man Wayne - PARCQR

[@gillesbonaparte5004]

Thanks Ryan for this excellent review. The 600 is one of my favorites. But again the stock transmitter tends to hide the real capabilities of this hexacopter. The throttle's response is not precise (dead zone). Frequent flier flies it with the devo transmitter and can get crazy angles with it.

[@kjellk75]

I bought the black x600 & the red x400 , since they share the same props I just ordered white replacement s and installed two white props on the front. Problem solved. Keep up the awesome vis.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Would it be possible to just put some colour electrical tape on the arms to help with orientation? I'm sure that would help when flying in daylight.

[@ilovemysnake1]

+Aussie RC Playground i do

[@audiogek]

My black X600 is still in backorder after 3 weeks @banggood. Checked the website while watching your review and I see they have the white version in stock. So I asked if they can change it and send out a white one asap. Bought it in a flash deal or something, only had to pay €28 or $32

[@EcoSpeeder]

..I just ordered an FPV module for mine. And the stock V262 800mah batt does fit this Hex and is a 100mah upgrade.

[@TheRCAddict]

Great review :) I love mine. If only pitch was a tad deeper and more yaw ;P

[@Tryinglittleleg]

Ha:p

[@MedwayAerial]

had motor problem with mine which I thought was a bent gear shaft , turned out to be a deformed motor pod causing the motor and gear shaft to bined

[@Dragontrumpetare]

I love this hex. It can handle quite a lot, but I do agree that orientation is not that easy sometimes... I flewn into trees thanks to that issue. haha. But its a great machine.

[@powellscott8871]

Looks like the best of the line and super affordable. Thanks for the nice, critical, review Ryan. BTW - I saw a $30 quad (a Cheerson CX lookalike) stocked at the counter of my local 7-Eleven (in Brooklyn). The guy behind the counter said that they were "flyin' out of here." So either they're super popular or he was just making a bad joke.

[@theimacman]

+Powell Scott Hahaha! :D

[@Weasawll]

I'm so tempted to buy it cause of how cheap it is and it looks sick

[@RyanBennett_Gpd605]

I love mine! I got black but plan on paint the props a lime green to help w/ orientation. I've read that upgrading the bushings to ball bearings is a good thing to do. Mine also came w/ the taller landing gear which is fine because I want to put a mobius or keychain type camera on it. I'm so glad you finally reviewed this one. I've been watching videos after videos on this. Thanks for the review!

[@mahagr78]

+Ryan Bennett I have also 12 ball bearings waiting for this quad. I hope it still comes with Chaoli motors, though it looks like that after a few reviews all quads get downgraded to use cheaper parts... :( Hopefully it's not true with this one!

[@topqualityindianshitposts3183]

this is a neat and big quad with good price tag

[@richfaulkner7812]

I have this one, the full throttle / full forward pitch tends to not hold its altitude. Maybe I could turn up the knob to 11 on the throttle or something.

[@theimacman]

+Rich Faulkner Yeah, full throttle/full forward pitch doesn't always work perfectly in various models, so you have to just give less pitch. :/

[@Aswin_CSE]

Please tell me what is the charging indicator light when it's charging and when it's full charged?

[@takoza5396]

i recently orderd a black 1 from Banggood , (stil waiting fo it) but i took the liberty of also ordering a ful set of white props and 6 white motor pods(r whatever they are cald) putting white props & legs on the front of ma Syma X8 (black) helpt allot

[@louislapointe2291]

Takoza s

[@takoza5396]

? :p

[@Tryinglittleleg]

It has a "throttle limiter"

[@joeywallis2435]

It looks pretty cool

[@meshalization]

Great and excellent videos thanks please I have question what is the best quadcopter you tested so far for beginners?

[@theimacman]

+mishal abdullah Here is my suggestion for beginners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGXUe4Gdi5V3fas

[@meshalization]

+Flyin' Ryan RC thanks : )

[@mtctookie25]

Nice

[@ziggyzbeak]

looks really smooth

[@johnholland3476]

Winner.lol sry

[@Hhunted]

I received mine earlier this week. Mine came with tall landing legs though.Like the landing legs yours came with better. I flew this quad with 1000Mah battery and it gave me about 12 mins flight as well.

[@theimacman]

+Jaco (Hunteds RCs) Does your have a camera? Maybe the camera version has longer legs?

[@theimacman]

+Jaco (Hunteds RCs) No worries at all about linking to your video! :D Glad it survived the swim! Yeah, throttle response is a bit slow... maybe because of the weight of this thing.

[@meswilfrank2401]

+Flyin' Ryan RC Hi Ryan,Great video,I think yours is an old version so it does not include a tall landing legs,the new version is with a taller landing legs..

[@perrypippip]

It looks really cool

[@chrisgon4407]

[@perrypippip]

I love you rian

[@mahagr78]

This one seems to be hard to get as I had to wait over 5 weeks before Banggood was able to ship my first one (white, was shipped out today). I ordered also second one (black) 10 days ago and got notification that it will not be available until end of the month. Will mix up the different colored props for sure! I do not yet have the large TX, but now that you mention it, I had the same feeling with X800 when I first tried it out without prop guards. The quad felt unresponsive like it had delay before it acted. After 2-3 flights I noticed that it wasn't a delay but discrete jumps in stick inputs. Basically if you do not move stick over the "edge", you can keep moving your stick between two points without any reaction from the quad. So instead of having dead zone in the middle, you have dead zones everywhere! It doesn't matter too much with prop guards (X800), but without those I had serious issues flying in 4x4m room because of I couldn't fly it precise enough. So I threw stock TX away and flashed my Devo 7E with MJX support and WOW! Not only were all the problems gone, but the quad had also much better pitch and yaw rates.

[@theimacman]

+Matias Griese I really need to take the time to learn how to use my modded Devo. heh

[@mahagr78]

+Flyin' Ryan RC No need to learn to use it, just flash it with the latest build from +David Duro :) I bet that you will have many people willing to help you on getting all the protocols and ini files into it!

[@JohnFHendry]

+Matias Griese "but discrete jumps in stick inputs" yup... it's the junk toy grade low resolution non-programmable TX's filling up people's closets holding these quads back from being hobby grade now that the motor issues seem to be resolved. I have over 20 hours on a set of 7mm coreless motors flown in wind and no loss in performance noticed. Quite surprised as they are catching up with low cost ball bearings in brushless motors and can be changed in a few minutes a lot faster with less work and for less money with no oiling needed. I notice the low resolution stepping with the U807 TX and it drives me nuts and despite using DSSS I'll be getting a DEVO TX and just waiting see how small the 7E is in person. Thanks for the info... thinking of getting one of these for FPV around the backyard now that the DEVO work so well with it. I have two U807's I planned on using and noticed they both lose throttle when running at low RPM sitting on the ground breaking in the motors possibly due to FCB programing issues with the accelerometer but guessing it could be the throttle resolution gaps that are mimicking a loss of signal as reducing throttle brings it back and it happens when being flown efficiently to penetrate the wind and in translational lift throttle settings. Useless for my needs and wonder why no one has reported on this as both mine do it using either TX and hoping the DEVO corrects it. I'll likely find out what it is programing the DEVO as I think it's using the throttle ch for signal reception reference.

[@mahagr78]

+John F Hendry Like I said, I have no issues with U807 or X800/600 with Devo 7E; they become really nice flying quads after you ditch the stock TX. I really hope manufacturers would stop making those low quality TXs and start selling BNF versions and better quality TX separately; right now more and more quads have dropout issues because of the new cheaper components that get used.

[@munteanubobby3016]

If you want to order from lighttake and if you pay express sipping or airmail be ready to wait around 3 weeks for delivery (not 5,7,10 days),because first its coming from china(HK) not from NL,and most probably you'll pay custom taxes too,the good thing its that you'll have tracking nr, btw customers service work slowly,and the reviews from the site are special selected (spam=all 5*) the quality its pretty good for this price tough.You can track your item here: www.packagetrackr.com/ www.postnl.post/tracktrace www.17track.net/en

[@timmyv694]

I just ordered this from light take. It wasn't $38 though. It was 45 and some change with shipping. Never dealt with them before. Hope it's a good experience. I'll be flying it with my Devo 7e. I've seen where this is a killer combination.

[@colewinkelman8429]

You should do a review and flight of the cheerson cx10c

[@theimacman]

+Cole Winkelman I will be soon. :)

[@colewinkelman8429]

Cool

[@madebyandre_]

I was wondering if you can swap the motor pods and props with the mjx x400?

[@perrypippip]

Nice vid

[@thequeensconquerer316]

Which do you prefer to fly between hexacopters and quadcopters? Now that I've learnt with my Bayang X7, I want a true beast with monster flight times and super speed.

[@theimacman]

+The QueensConquerer I prefer quads... they are easier to keep orientation with, and they are lighter and use less power, so they tend to fly more sporty and have longer flight times.

[@101boertjie]

It seems a pretty nice machine. Will doing a light coat of spray-paint on say the 2 front props not make visibility and orientation easier ? Or maybe on the 2 front motor pods ?

[@theimacman]

+Johan Combrinck Yeah, that would likely help, though I don't know if the weight of the paint on the prop would have any affect on flight performance.

[@101boertjie]

+Flyin' Ryan RC i think if you keep the layers very thin, making sure that the paint do not run at all, then it should not really make any noticeable difference in flight performance. i think some mat-black, or maybe a neon green on the front end will look pretty cool, and you can do the side of the 2 front motor arms and housings in a similar color, with stencils from masking tape to get some nice designs on there.

[@theimacman]

Johan Combrinck Another comment made me realize there is a black version of this hex, so the best solution would be to use some black props from it. :D

[@JeffSibelius]

+Flyin' Ryan RC I bought the black version and ordered white spare parts for it. I had white props and prop guards on the front. You can even put alternate color motor pods on the front to help with orientation.

[@theimacman]

+Jeff Sibelius It's amazing that the manufacturers don't think to do this stuff on their own, especially when they are making two different versions anyway! That is my main purpose in commenting about that in my reviews... hopefully they will start listening. heh

[@l0af_o]

To fix the orientation problem put some coloured tape not too much use two different color of tape

[@erickang1098]

Can you link me to a camera? for this? Is there a record button? Can you orient it?

[@Didjeridoolove]

Really nice guru!!!

[@theimacman]

+Gregory Johnson Thanks bud! :)

[@bencebenjaminturcsi5304]

Great review!😀

[@theimacman]

+Bence Benjamin Turcsi Thanks!

[@Aswin_CSE]

+Flyin' Ryan RC big fan of you please recommend me iam goin to buy syma x5c-1 or this one.

[@EuanTodd]

They are pretty equal in flight performance though the x5c-1 does have a faster yaw rate and is a little more agile so witch ever one you get you will have a great little quad.

[@Aswin_CSE]

+euan todd tnx du u have mjx x600?

[@EuanTodd]

I have a syma x5-1 and a tarantula x6 but have flown my friend mjx around and it flies very similarly to the x5c-1 it's just slightly slower and a little more powerful.

[@ericgtx2644]

I wish MJX can make a similar sized quad but with brushless motors a la Hisky HMX280.And seeing that they have experience with brushless motors(they made them for their F45/49 helis) I dont see why not.But they're still new to multicopters,so I'll give them time;-)

[@theimacman]

+eric GTX Probably all comes down to price. A brushless hex this size may cost more than people would be willing to spend.

[@raygunz333]

Ryan, do you ever test to see if the quads are capable of lifting a Mobius? I'll probably end up buying a X8-c, but would like something smaller, this looks like it might work. I just use scotch tape, works great.

[@theimacman]

+raygunz333 I do occasionally test that, but not always. I didn't test it with this one, but I'm pretty sure it could lift the Mobius.

[@Brunosv007]

good review

[@theimacman]

+RC DRONES Thanks! :)

[@amirdc3432]

first comment Ryan and 2 like

[@igm4437]

Really easy to crash and had some issues with breaking the plastic frame

[@theimacman]

+Queseret Yep, it takes practice to learn to fly, and it is definitely not indestructible.

[@johnharrington4757]

Looks so agressive I love it!

[@redjack56]

Spay paint those props :)

[@zassudilau]

I've tried a go pro style camera on mine and it barely takes off and has no control....without the weight it goes like this...anyway I've ordered syma x8hc from gearbest and I'll try making a new video with that one

[@theimacman]

Yeah, I don't suggest carrying a camera that heavy with any quad/hex with brushed motors. Even if it does lift, you are going to kill the motors quickly that way.

[@zassudilau]

thanks for sugestion

[@mkultraneverstoppedtorture8748]

Is it me or are hexacopters just heavier quads with 2 extra pointless motors? I really appreciate your reviews but really wish you took all of the choppers outside for a speed run.

[@theimacman]

+TargetedIndividual TORTUREDwithSatelliteWeapons In this size, they are basically just novelty. Their real use is in much bigger camera rigs, since they can carry a lot more weight, and if one motor/prop dies, it could still fly and land, whereas that would cause a quad to crash.

[@mkultraneverstoppedtorture8748]

Flyin' Ryan RC Thanks for the reply.

[@brianevans4]

Why is its battery less mHa than the smaller micro MJX X800? I guess you could buy some spare black props and then use those at the back or something. For orientation. Is it possible to have both center springed sticks in mode 2? I think I'll get some! It looks plenty powerful for those flips. Does it feel 'Heavy' in the air like you said about the other hexs?

[@theimacman]

+Brian Evans Well, it's a 2S battery, but each cell is smaller than the X800. I'm not sure if there are spare black props for this, but that would definitely help. And, sure, you could have both sticks spring-center, though I'm not sure why you'd want that on the throttle. It does feel heavier in the air than similar quads, obviously, but it doesn't feel underpowered or anything like that.

[@theimacman]

+Brian Evans Ah, durr, there is a black version of this, so yeah, those black props would be a good addition to this. :)

[@brianevans4]

+Flyin' Ryan RC I've been looking at this one for a while but all of the websites have been over $50 with shipping out here to africa. Light take is like $40 to South Africa! Thanks so much!

[@albertomeza9763]

i believe its time for another top 5 quad-hexa copters under 50bucks;)

[@theimacman]

+alberto meza That type of video simply gets out-dated way too fast, so I don't think I'll be making any more like that. :(

[@mkultraneverstoppedtorture8748]

+alberto meza If you want the best NANO quad for 19.99 on amazon GPTOYS Mini Version Upgraded 993 is an amazing fast long lasting battery machine.

[@Dragontrumpetare]

Just a lil question. Wich is best. I got the black version, but wich is best. TO have the dark props in the front or in the back?

[@TheRCAddict]

All personal preference :) I prefer lighter in the front as dark black props seem to disappear in flight :)

[@Dragontrumpetare]

+The RCAddict ok. thanks for the answer :-)

[@theimacman]

+Jerry Berglund Like RC Addict said, it's really just personal preference, and yeah, black props tend to disappear, so white in the front would probably be the easiest to see, and I think that would look pretty cool on the black version. :)

[@Dragontrumpetare]

MM... Ok. That makes. Shall send for white props too then. :-)

[@Pinksheep-tk7ku]

what's the range on this thing?

[@theimacman]

+Pink sheep # 49193532919374 I don't do range testing, as I encourage close-range flying for safety reasons.

[@joeywallis2435]

How much does it cost?

+Jo ey Price and purchase link can be found in the video description.

[@perrypippip]

Could you put a gopro on that hexicopter?

[@theimacman]

+Perrypippip I am not sure if it could lift one or not, but it wouldn't really be recommended since this only has brushed motors.

Ryan is the 4008 camera compatible with X 600 the site I got it from said it was but I cannot get it to connect

[@theimacman]

+East Carolina Drones, Helis & Planes It is supposed to be, I believe. In what way can you not get it to connect? Like it won't even plug into the hex?

[@eastcarolinadroneshelispla6635]

+Flyin' Ryan RC it will plug into the hex it just will not send a Wi-Fi signal to the phone you can do a search for the Wi-Fi for the mJX but will not connect

[@theimacman]

East Carolina Drones, Helis & Planes You have powered the camera? If I recall correctly, I think you have to plug a battery into the camera?

[@eastcarolinadroneshelispla6635]

+Flyin' Ryan RC yes the camera comes with a balance plug connector to plug into the battery also not seen any kind of light come on indicating power for the camera

[@theimacman]
