WOW, this has easily made my top three drones that I own. Maybe top two. The Bug 3 from Drocon (manufactured by MJX RC) is the first blue Bug that I have seen on the market. The red one looks pretty cool, but this one looks awesome.
With its brushless motors, this thing is a beast in the wind and I have had no problems flying in medium to heavy wind. This is a very nice and sporty drone for the big size of this. It has some get up and go on it.
The 3.7v 1800 mAh 25C lipo battery is good for about 15-18 minutes of flight time depending on how hard you fly it and is a proprietary battery and is in a case with the smaller newer T30 connector on it. It does have a high and low-speed rate on this drone and that will affect the flight time from this battery.
I have plenty of action cameras and never had any drones that they could be used on until now. This is awesome to be able to get HD video now from my drone. Yea, there is no controlling from the transmitter, but it still takes get video. I have not seen any jello in them as of yet so the camera mount works pretty well. There may be just a little vibration shake to it but you could swap out the camera mount for a better mount of you wish.
The range on this is awesome at 1000-1600 feet and the 2.4 GHz two-way transmitter also talks to the drone and gets the drone status back to the transmitter and will sound an alarm when the battery level gets too low or there is interference and signal loss. If you hear a warning beep, you have a problem.
This does come with two sets of self-tightening props in case you crash or damage a prop or two, which could happen when in level two speed mode and going full out forward if you are not careful at as the pitch on this will cause it to drive itself into the ground if you are not careful and keep raising it as you are flying.
If you use the camera mount and camera and use the bigger legs, you can remove the smaller landing gear below the motors and save about 12 grams of weight if you want or don’t and save even more weight without the camera, mount and bigger legs. You will get a little faster drone and longer flight times this way as well.
Overall, I love this drone. Not a lot of features, but an excellent choice for your first brushless drone at a really decent price. Maybe the next version will have all the bells and whistles of the high priced drones.
