Yes, this is the “American” version of the MJX Bugs 16 Pro. This company has their HQ in the USA so all of their drones are shipped and distributed directly by them. They also ship worldwide as well but they are based in the US. And to answers you second question... No, I haven’t though of DJ’ing for any smooth jazz radio stations. I should consider now that you mentioned it. 😄👍🏻
This isn’t a rebrand. It may share the same chassis as the bugs 16, but all the internals are customized from manufacturer for EXO drones. The CEO did a interview which talked about how it works and why there are not any real clones. Very interesting!
@@cowboy10731 LOL, OK, you're allowed to believe that if you want to. I guarantee if you take both apart they are identical inside. The owner, Charlie, was nothing more than a con man. He ran a large marketing campaign on Facebook selling rebranded drones at a large mark up to people that didn't know anything about them. He got the companies value up, made a nice chunk of money and then sold off to Openstore and bailed. Exo is literally nothing more than a drop shipping marketing company.
It’s an American rebrand of the Bugs 16 Pro. This company is US based so the shipping and customer support is all based in the states, cutting a lot of the shipping costs down from China. Their CS and repair service is all done in the states as far as I’m aware which is great for US based customers.
This is a very insightful review! I especially appreciate seeing the app and what telemetry is available on the mobile device as well as what is on the controller itself. I am working my way through other videos before I reach out to this manufacturer and secure a drone to review myself. I'm constantly asked what drone to purchase for a beginner who has an eye toward moving beyond hobbyist...this might be that drone. ~ Eugene
Hi, thanks for your comment. In my opinion, this drone is perfect for recreational flyers. For those who want to move up beyond the hobby grade, I’d recommend checking out the newest drones made by EXO like the BlackHawk2 Pro. That one has a more powerful camera and app features that are up a level from this one. It is a bit pricey though. Thanks again for watching! 👍🏻
Nice video. I got this without controller and without bag. No prop except four that is mounted. Question, do you know what protocol it use? Because I have the Radio Master tx16s mk2 radio. And the internel is Elrs. But external i have 4-1 module. So 4 rf chip that support up to 80 protocol. My question is. What protocol does it use? Ty
What about crash detection I know you said something about 50 m or higher but when it's landing does its land smoothly when returning home I'm new to the drone scene so you're talking to a newbie
Can you buy upgraded controllers for your drone, say if I don't like the feek and how small the screen is, but like the drone itself , can I upgrade the controller to a bigger screen ect without having to buy a whole other drone kit that already has a bigger screen on the controller ?
How tf can they call it a “Cine” drone and have props in the shot the entire time. There is nothing cinematic about props in the shot. That’s why DJI will always own these other companies. They don’t pay attention to the little details. I’d rather have a mini 2…at least I won’t have props in my shot
I will say this, I switch from my Mavic 2 to the Blackhawk 2 and it was the worse decision I have ever made. It rarely connects, it somehow says it has a weak gps signal despite being out in the open and connected to 15 satellites. Then when it FINALLY connects, I record videos and take pictures, I come home to look at what I did and literally nothing is there. I have NEVER had this issue with my DJI and it pisses me off that I spent this amount of money on a drone they claimed to be great. I have had it little under 2 years and I have only been able to fly it successfully, 5 times. And I doubt I can return it at this point. DO NOT BUY THIS DRONE.
If you own acres of private property, I’d say no. But unfortunately if you don’t, you need to register your drone and take the Trust test to obtain the Trust certificate which is super simple and easy to take. Another thing that has just been implemented is the annoying remote ID requirement going forward on Sept 2023, which means you have to outfit your drone with an RID module if it doesn’t have it pre-installed in your drone already.
I think the weight really helps it take those higher winds and stay flying
Yes, also the long propellers and motor power play an important factor in wind resistance performance.
This is the bugs 16 rebrand right?
BTW, have you ever thought of being a DJ on a smooth jazz station? 😂

@@DroneSyndrome You've definitely got the voice for it. Smooth and soothing. Every time I hear you I immediately think "cool cat" type of DJ 😂
@@aerialzona6003 I have to now use auto-tune to change the sound of my voice 😂

Excelente video.. en tu opinión que me recomiendas
⭐ CINEMASTER 2 ó F22 S2... Saludos desde mexico
Looks just like the MJX Bugs x16. Looks like an awesome drone.
It’s an American rebrand of the Bugs 16 Pro. This company is US based so the shipping and customer support is all based in the states, cutting a lot of the shipping costs down from China. Their CS and repair service is all done in the states as far as I’m aware which is great for US based customers.
@@DroneSyndrome Finally an American company.
Nice video. Dose the company do drone parts incase needed
Thank you Gary. Not sure what you mean by “do drone parts incase” are you referring to repairs? If so, that’s a yes.

@@DroneSyndrome I appreciate the recommendation - I’ll check it out.
@@cw3drones You’re welcome.
Great Review, now i don't have to do one, i'll just send people here if they ask
Loved that outro. I subbed to your channel just because of that 😁

Good question. I’ll have to look into that because I honestly do not know.
Thank you for this review! I have a better understanding of this product and will consider getting one.
Hey! Thanks for watching it my friend. I really appreciate your comment and I’m glad you found it informative. 👍🏻
A beautiful video , I like that 👍👍👍🙋🙋
Liked the ending message,god knows we need prayers now and i am not religious
What about crash detection I know you said something about 50 m or higher but when it's landing does its land smoothly when returning home I'm new to the drone scene so you're talking to a newbie
Looks like FX 1 or Bugs 16 Drone. Rebranding is O.K.,makes things lower priced
Thank you for this honest review
Can you buy upgraded controllers for your drone, say if I don't like the feek and how small the screen is, but like the drone itself , can I upgrade the controller to a bigger screen ect without having to buy a whole other drone kit that already has a bigger screen on the controller ?
i have this drone, i dont think there is an upgrade to the controller
Scary when your CEO and COO won't show their last name like the other manaagement team members did. Makes me not trust them.
Does it have the capability to follow you?
Yes it does have a follow me function but it’s not that good.
I considered buying this, but honestly, once you go DJI, you never go back
I don’t blame you. These types of drones are for passing time and having fun flying them, nothing like the DJI experience.
This might be the alternative.. if DJI gets banned
How tf can they call it a “Cine” drone and have props in the shot the entire time. There is nothing cinematic about props in the shot. That’s why DJI will always own these other companies. They don’t pay attention to the little details. I’d rather have a mini 2…at least I won’t have props in my shot
I agree with you on that. The term “Cine” should be reserved for the drones that are made for real professional aerial cinematography
I will say this, I switch from my Mavic 2 to the Blackhawk 2 and it was the worse decision I have ever made. It rarely connects, it somehow says it has a weak gps signal despite being out in the open and connected to 15 satellites.

same controller as alot of the Chinese drones
Don’t buy from EXO, they don’t respond when you have a problem with your drone!
Do you have to have that ffa drone license??
