This time, if you're not in much of a hurry I drecommend buying from banggood if you don't want spare accessories. Having GPS for return to home and flight stability is also a great feature for beginners to have. I don't really think you can get better for under $150.Īll the specs, the flight stability, modular camera that even comes with the ability to stabilize video (to some extent) make it a great choice. Mainly thanks to the GPS that allows you to easily learn the controls and if you mess up you just stop pressing any buttons and the drone will simply hover.Ĭlick on the tabs bellow to answer a few of these questions.

The flight range of the drone is in fact about 1 km, but I put the actual range at 300m as that’s about as far as the video signal goes.Īnd yes, the quadcopter is suited for beginners too. The price for the Bugs 5w is usually quite well under $200 and that’s quite affordable considering it doesn’t really have much competition. The Bugs has a disadvantage though, as it's the only one not foldable in this setup.Īlthough you might see that it's the weakest one when it comes to camera, make sure to compare the actual footage before deciding, as I think the Bugs might actually be better than the rest in many instances. I compared the BUgs 5w vs the ZLRC Beast, SJRC F11 and JJRC X11.

This is the comparison table I promised between the Bugs 5w and some of the most recent and best drones in the same price category of under $200 (most under $150). When the battery is getting critically low, it won’t let you fly farther than 20 meters away. The drone is set to stop at the maximum altitude of 120 m so it won’t come back down, it will just stop. Will the drone come back after reaching the Max altitude? The Bugs 5w can go over 100m but no more than 150m, so you're right in that range. The maximum height allowed to fly in the USA is 400feet which is just over 120m.

So I decided to consider the lower value as the actual range, as you probably don't want to fly it without seeing where you go. On one hand, you have the actual drone range, which is basically how far the drone can be controlled by the remote.Īnd this drone can go over 800m as you can see in this video on youtube.Īnd there's also the Live feed transmission that can go about 300m max in my experience.Ĭheck my article on the best long range drones that I recommend if you're looking for something more. It's always tricky for me to tell people the actual range of a drone.
