Cap'n Steve, my MJX X103W arrived today. To say I'm impressed with this amazing drone is a huge understatement! Build quality is first class, ease of set up and use, great camera quality and rock steady GPS hold and return to home. At JUST under 250g, this HAS to be the best and perfect first time drone for beginners / intermediate flyers (even experienced flyers will enjoy this great product). 5***** + rating from me - thanks Cap'n for bringing this amazing low cost drone to my attention 👍👍😁😁 (ps. it's better than the MJX 104G model - and has the advantage of the tilting camera feature and the great tiny controller)
Just about all MJX (Bugs series) are way under-priced. Their performance and reliability is quite remarkable. There are so many cheap drones out there and its a real treat to find one that really performs beyond your expectations. Hope MJX stays in the business!
Just got this drone for Christmas! I am new to drones and this is excellent as an entry level drone! Only cost £83 with 2 batteries! Great build quality and great controller! Only took for a couple flights due to poor weather in the UK 👎🏼 thanks for the review which was reason I went for this model! 👌🏼
Hello, I just purchased this little drone and was able to apply the discount on you site, thank you Captain Drone for the review. As a rank drone beginner it seems like a good fit, at sub 250 grams I don't have to register it with the FAA and I know it's going to be fun to fly. At $95 delivered I can live with its limitations and wont lose my sanity if it flys off into the sunset or sinks beneath the waves into a watery drone grave.
Very impressive Capt'n. I've handled several MJX brand quads in the past and found them quite amazing and reliable. Charge and fly - no surprises - the GPS is GLONAS and very accurate. Top end of the toy grade. I'm a little surprised they used brush motors on this but I half expect an intermediate to this before long! Great job!
Lol you crack me up mate 👍 lol I think those trees kept jumping out at you.. Very interesting drone that, looks cool and love the detail on the transmitter, must admit though I can’t wait until you review the bugs 4w.. happy flying..
Thanks for the demonstration of the lack of obstacle avoidance. " I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tr........" oh crap!! " You're killin' me Capt'n. 😂
Good morning Captain Big Joe from New York again, I actually just picked up this drone based on your review. I really dig The Landing lights! Like I mentioned previously I already have the mjx bugs 5W. So I thought this would be a nice addition! .... thank you again for your great reviews and your honesty.
Cap'n - I ordered one of these on your recommendation to compare it with my recent purchase of the 'so far' excellent MJX 104G - (same App is an advantage) nice thing about owning these lower cost brushed MJX Drones is the lack of stress if you lose or destroy them whilst having lots of fun!! - Worst case scenario is 'beans on toast' for dinner for just a week or two and not for many months as with the DJI and other high end / priced alternatives 😎😎😁😁👍👍 - and they can supply JUST AS much weekend Drone flying fun! (also, not over the 250 gram Drone registration weight required - BIG advantage !!)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Cap'n - re the MJX 104G - I flew this today in REALLY GUSTY UK high winds today just to see how it coped with that - I was REALLY very impressed - on high speed setting, I had no problem maintaining total control. I have an issue at the moment with SD Card video files crashing - but I think it's all about which micro SD Card you use for recording on this Drone - I'm slowly getting to the bottom of this only negative??
Almost the same drone Wal-Mart sales called the Phoenix for $249 I just bought it on sale for $179 comes with 2 batteries and easy to setup and fly great pictures
Sir, your awesome!!! I've watched all your videos, I just wish I had at least one of the ones with the GPS you've shown on your videos but it's a bit difficult for me since I had an accident at work and broke my back, the only good thing about that is that now I have a lot of time to watch every video you came out with :-), thanks and God bless you sir...
I've been watching your various videos for about a year now, and just bought one of these drones yesterday. I'm 74 and never flown a drone before, so wish me luck !! Oh, I bought this after watching this video a few months ago. I bought this drone AND an EX3, AND a nice hard case that holds them both very nicely. Only problem is there wasn't a charger for the EX3, so I have to find one.
If the Bugs 4W has an optical flow sensor and brushless motors for a decent price it'll be very tempting. Also learned that SJRC is releasing an F11 Pro which should also be great!
@@kart3288 Just realised the Bugs 4W is also the JJRC X11, which is cheaper ($168 USD on Aliexpress with 3 batteries and carry bag)...why is buying Chinese drones so complicated???
Captain Drone no more! You are offically Captain Danger. Very good camera and excellent lighting also. While it does not have a gimbal it's a real option for new pilots and hobbyist wanting to buy a first good drone. I like it a lot.
Thanks steve. First off that was hilarious getting close to the treess hahahahahaha.... Very entertaining and informative as usual.....Any idea when the B4 is coming out?
Nice review. Wonder why they are going backwards with their new line. One step forward, two steps back. Amazing controller. + Brushed motors. - No gimbal or image stabilization. - Proprietary usb charged batteries. -
All about price! If you jump back 12 months and see what your money could buy you for the price of this drone, you'd be very surprised. You'd get a 720p camera, low quality, brushless motors, no GPS, etc.
Hi Captain Drone. I’m loving your videos so please keep them coming 😊 . In one of your videos, you mentioned not ordering too many batteries due to customs restrictions. I have noticed some Chinese sites like Geekbuying will sell you 2 batteries with a drone but say that 3 batteries cannot be shipped to Canada. Other sites seem perfectly happy to let you order 3 batteries. Perhaps one of these days you could talk about this subject in more detail in a video? I’m also wondering if buying replacement batteries for an inexpensive Chinese drone is at all possible given the import restrictions. Thanks again and happy flying.
In Canada, batteries can be shipped via DHL in large quantities if the correct paperwork is complete. Many of these Chinese companies do not meet or created the necessary customs documentation.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for that info. I will have to look in to which companies can be relied upon to ship with the correct paperwork. Looking forward to your next video. Perfect flying weather - icy Canadian!
Hello Captain.. i got this drone for my son everything looks fine for a cheap one, i have a quick question about the batteries... how the lights are supposed to be during the charging time and how to know when it is fully charged ?? Thanks
What information is shown on the built in display on the remote. I realize it's not a video display but I can't tell what information it shows. BTW, are your links affiliate links? I ask because I do plan on buying a drone in the near future and since your videos and replies have been so helpful, I want to make sure I use your affiliate link if you are using them.
Thank you! The display shows signal strength, height, range, battery power of remote & drone, Sats. The links below to Geakbuying who sent me the drone (i.e., they send me a drone to review and in return I post their links).
Looks like a nice relatively inexpensive drone given all the features....So I like the price with your coupon but I'm hesitant to purchase any drone with brushed motors. I purchased a Hubsan X4 Desire Pro recently (w/Brushled "coreless" motors) and 1 of the engines burned out in just 8 flights. Is that what one should expect with Brushed motors? What has your experience been with brushed motors (e.g., how long do they last)? I realize that you can always replace the engines but who wants to do that every 8 flights. Maybe I got a lemon engine..but still. Thoughts?
It depends. If you crash often then brushed motors may be a problem. If no crashes then they should last for a long time. Most appliances & tools in your home that have a motor have a brushed motor. The benefit to brushed motors is less weight, smaller battery.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thx...are you saying brushed motors are more fragile to crashes? Why would that be the case? Wires inside motor get bent? Hmmm? BTW, I didn't crash my Hubsan X4 drone and still only had 8 flights before it burned out. Just my luck. So I'm skeptical of brushed motors but good to hear that maybe my case is not the normal case.
Hi Captain, just wondering if you have any ideas as to why you had a good experience with this drone but the RC Saylors experienced lots of wobble and toilet bowling on theirs? Is it purely a matter of trying to fly a small drone in conditions that are too windy? Found a deal for one of these for $100AUD and keen to give it a go!
Really? I'll have to watch their vid. They might have received a Dud. Also if they are experienced enough they would know that jello in the video means one of the props is not correct and just needs to be replaced. I'm sure they knew that but just ran the video as is. I think this drone (check out the comments from people who have bought it) has one of the highest satisfaction rating.
I know this video is over year old, but what I notice is the remote is identical to Holy Stone remote. which makes me ask are their other remotes and apps I can use with my HS720e ?
Good afternoon Captain drone! I have a question, a lot of people on UA-cam are reviewing this particular drone from mjx, and they're saying that the camera is very very bad! In your opinion, would you say that the camera on this particular drone is just about on par with the mjx bugs 5w which I also have? Or, would you say that the camera is not that good compared to the bugs 5w? As always thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to our wonderful Hobby and I will speak to you soon. Joey
I'd say it is on par with the MJXRC BUGS 5W. Afterall.... it is an MJXRC drone. I think some people say how amazing the features were of the BUGS 4W and excepted the camera to be just as incredible, but nope, it is just your typical BUGS camera.
Looks great Flies great if they only had added that optical flow sensor,, Image looks ok I am wondering if the lens on these be a cheap plastic the image on these quads never look that sharp other than that for the price can't complain...
A good drone should be equipped with brushless motors, I like MJX but not with brushes motor so I go for mjg bugs 3 mini a cute size drone and now waiting for a new mjx bugs 4w to come...MJX a thrust worthy drone making company with advanced engineering technologies. 👍 Thanks for an enjoyable review always. CLASS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐CLASS
Hi Captain... Now I do realized that MJX X10W is also a bug that does a tree trimming. Hehehe. I've been following your vids since last week, and I do enjoy your reviews. I've just purchased the other version of this just this afternoon. I can't find the MX version here in the Philippines. Can you do the how to operate in a non GPS areas? Thanks.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the reply. bad experience with my unit. I'll have it replaced, just waiting for the replacement. It always goes wild after a few seconds after launching it, even in GPS mode or indoor. Tried it also Follow Me, yes it follows me for a minute or two, then after a few seconds, it also goes wild and flying in a different direction... as if I have to run to follow it hahaha. I have also experienced after unlocking the motor and click the launch button, it goes too high and can't be controlled. :(
very good video. I have been looking for drones like this for a while now since this new law came out. all my drones are DJI .half of them are modified and go far and high. and I have 1 annoying neighbor. this drone will shut him up very good. he confronted me one time and told me not to fly over his house. of course I told him where to go if you know what I mean !!!! with this drone . I will tell him to call the cop since the drone is under 250 g. and there is new drone should come out very soon from dji . hope this will be under 250 grams. call Mavic mini . but this MJX x 103W is cheap . under 140$ Canadian on ebay. I don't think dji cans beat this price. quality maybe. cheer. good work
Good morning Captain Drone... hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July, ? By any chance do you know what the return policy for Tomtop is? Do they make you pay for shipping back to China? Or when you call up do you get a return authorization, and then you're able to print out a return shipping label similar to Amazon? Tks. As always in advance... Joe
Looks somewhat similar to the JJRC X11. The controller specifically. Have you had a chance to try the X11? I’ve been curious as to how similar these two are to the SJRC F11
Hello Captain i have question for you hope you can help i have bought a MJX X103W [ bought 12- 3 -2019 still waiting on it to get here it] has return home so here is the question if you fly it out 200m and land it can you hit return home and it do so or after landing does it cancel the return home at that point?
As soon as you land it and the motors shut off, that is the end of return to home. The return to home upon the takeoff will change to the new location.
What would be your recommendation for a cheap(under $200) gps drone for a gopro?? Or perhaps a GPS drone with a camera and gimbal with close to gopro quality. Doesn't need any sensors or follow, just needs to hold a position and height. Im new to the channel, great stuff. I'm from the fpv freestyle world so if all else fails I'll go to inav maybe
When it comes to price, you will get nothing good for under $200 in the area of camera. You're up over $500 before things become acceptable, and up near $1000 before it becomes similar to a GoPro. You could strap a GoPro onto most large brushless drones. Obviously you won't get any video feed back from the GoPro to show you what your camera sees, unless you use the GoPro App and fly really close to yourself. Have a look at the 5W Drone: ua-cam.com/video/0BeZ8QNCr7I/v-deo.html
I noticed that there are a couple of reviews on UA-cam saying that there have been issues with the X103W including flyaways. Is this correct, have you or anyone else had any problems with it? It looks like a great drone for the price.
CAPTAIN DRONE Thanks for the prompt reply. I also have to say that I love your channel, it’s certainly my favourite drone channel. You are easy to listen to and the reviews are always very detailed and interesting. It’s also nice seeing different flight locations too. Keep up the great work. Regards from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
I love the reviews CAPTAIN! I just purchased this as my FIRST drone. I ordered through TOMTOP but the coupon code was expired. It was still a very good price...$109 with 3 batteries. I searched for the X103W on the MJX website, but was unable to find it. Is there a good resource for support, i.e parts and accessories?
Hi. Im 1 of your avid viewers. planning to buy a foldable drone below 250gram weight. made my research now have a shortlist between MJX 103 & the Z5. in your opinion considering every aspect w/c one would u choose? thank u so much more power to your channel and hope to hear from you really soon.
I’m in Mex so think I will order this drone to stay under the 250 g limit. Thanks What is the name of the similar drone with brushless motors you said you would be reviewing? I couldn’t quite understand you. I think Pro something. Tks again.
a online seller here in my country are already selling the new bugs 4 but hard to find in their search for an item menu it only shows up when you use this mjx x103w key word in their search menu and no interesting blog here in you tube have ever shown up which make me thinking twice if i should get one..cheaper than the older mjx bugs5 , 150 US dollars.
Captain , their is a lot of us who bought this drone and if you have time to look up mix x103w problems and see what you might think the problem is looks like drone is losing connection some say it the wind but mine does it when there is no wind when i first lift off its fine then it start going every where with no input , help us if you can .
If the compass calibration was fine (all lights solid) and the GYRO calibration (both joysticks to the lower left, or lower right), and the GPS is turned ON vice OFF, and props are not damaged, then all should be well.
Captain, went ahead and purchased the X103w from Banggood based on yours and other recommendations. To say that I am TOTALLY disappointed with the purchase is an understatement. I like the size/weight and the finish of the drone is nice but the drone can't seem to fly in the lightest of winds. I have not had a single successful flight in GPS mode. As in the RC Saylors and JD quad videos the drone is prone to a upset wobble and loss of control (not 100% sure why but suspect that the control algorithm for recovery after an disturbance/upset is incorrect. The controller gains have to be adjusted by MJX). Can break the unstable wobble by quickly switching out of GPS mode, manually regain control and putting back in GPS mode. Only successful flights have been hovering indoors either in GPS mode (zero satellites) or Gesture Mode (totally manual control). I would note that Yaw gain is very high and control is sensitive while the other control functions are dead or dampened. Have had outdoor flights where control input did not give any response. Video is poor (major jello effect - could be props or brushed motors with no camera stabilizer) but still pics are OK (high shutter speed). Tried Point of Interest mode with total failure. Drone started circling, wandered off, lost control and wobbled to the ground. RTH = Rise to High Altitude (not sure if this feature works as advertised return to home). Will play with it some more but based on my experience I would rate this drone as a ZERO out of five. I would not recommend to anyone and in my case, not worth returning to Banggood. Wonder if the SJRC Z5 has similar problems.
Video quality is clearly as shown in every review on UA-cam. As for wobble and wandering off and point of interest, RTH not working for you.... Well, you either have a broken drone, a dud, or the worst cell phone on the planet. As we say in the drone world and RC plane world, the price reflects the level of technology and depending on where you are coming from (total beginner new to drones, or a DJI owner), your experience and expectations will remain unmanageable and dissimilar. Some will love this drone, as been clearly shown and others who unknowingly expect plenty for their $$ will not be as happy. For the price of this product you get plenty of technology, but if you want DJI quality, this will not cut it. It is amazing to look back one year ago on my channel and see what was being offered in the drone market for the same price, you'd be rather shocked. I have reviewed the MJX X103 and the JJRC model (both identical) and both of my reviews clearly show what a user should expect and not expect.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the feedback. Having a DJI 1 and DJI Pro+, I was not expecting same kind of performance and quality but was hoping for a nice sub 250g "pocket drone" that would be at minimum safe. As the drone flew like this straight out of the box, I guess I must have a DUD. Definitely don't suspect the iphone. Oh well....you win some...you lose some. Life drones on.
@@steveb8670 I think this drone sold really well due to price/features. It is very much like the SJRC Z5 from months ago. Unfortunately low cost drones really don't come with support or warranties or 100% quality control. Coming from the DJI world, my review and others showing the video quality should have set your expectations on the correct path. For people new to drones, this MJX drone would seem incredible because they have no drone experience to compare it with. I have a future video of my 90 year old Dad flying the JJRC H73 for the first time and since drones are Sci-Fi to him, he was really impressed.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Decided to take the quad apart and check inside. Found one wire (green) to one motor with coating rubbed off to bare wire and a free screw inside the body. Wonder if these contributed to the problem of the drone having fits and seizures. Will test and see how it flys post reassembly
Today we see 'Cap'n Tree Trimmer' in action! You looked like you were having way too much fun with this little drone in the park 😁 My MJX 104G (inc. 3 batteries) arrived today, purchased based on one of your previous videos - first flight was really easy to set up, video was good, GPS was stable, REALLY nice and quiet! - first flight done in light / no wind conditions - lightweight and under 250g 👍
I like it but I don't see many I don't. The Unboxing part the tag was talking about taking plastic off sencers (apologize for spelling) are there any? Landing Lights see how bright they were is catchy love to see things like that start being one of the common thing on all the drone. Why? Who dosnt like super bright flying flashlights. Cap anther Good one! U going to let us hear that Rush jam 🎸 anything of 2112 . I got my lighter READY. LoL No a joke Have good day thanks as always !!
I enjoy your reviews however, I felt this one was a little rushed and cursory. You didn't point out the flight time per battery, the lcd screen is it readable in sunlight? the software was not mentioned and you didn't give your impressions of the picture and video quality.
Actually I spent time on this video. Oh well, I'm sure I'll miss things in future vids as well. Screen is 100% readable. Battery is somewhere under 20 mins. I don't give impressions of the picture and video quality... that is up to the viewer. Remember, I'm a professional flying thousand $$ drones. What looks not great to me, would look amazing to someone else, so I show the footage and the viewer (either beginner or someone with knowledge and what they are looking for) then decides.
Hi Captain, great review on X103w drone. Actually I just got mine today. Try my first flight, and find out that the drone is unable to hover at the same location even without wind and GPS On. Are there any thing I miss out for the setup? I already follow all your instruction in the video. Thanks.
On the side of the remote is the GPS on/off switch. Are you sure you have it set to ON? This drone will stay in place when GPS is working. Also, did you do the compass calibration correctly and are the arms fully extended?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes. The GPS switch is On at the controller, I even can see the GPS signal indicator around 10. The propeller bar already extended to the limits. The compass calibration done, just by spinning the drone 3 times. The only things is that I'm flying the drone on the 4th floor (car park roof top). Thanks Captain.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I will give that a try this evening. Thanks. I've got a separate wifi hotspot that I carried along with me to fly the drone, but the phone couldn't read that either, after connecting to hotspot on drone. I'll try your method next. Jerry
hello Captain Drone. just got a good new. the Mavic Mini will come out by the end of this month. and is 500$ with 1 battery. 2.7 k . 4 kms range, and is white in color. not lipo battery . but is rechargeable . of course less than 250 g. the drones are already in Canada. is a bit pricey compared to the 2 drones less than 250 g you put on youtube. cheer
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 my friend works at the drone store saw it. the supplier brought it in one day about a week ago. that is the info I gave you. is a bit pricey .
This drone is out of stock and they don’t know when it will be back. Do you have suggestion for another light drone like this one? e The Bugs 4w is a big jump. Tx. Sure hope your eye is better. I’ve had 2 eye surgeries on my cornea so I sure can relate.
I dont understand why in this day and age companies release a camera drone then put no image stabilisation on it. Without image stabilisation this drone is pointless. Anyhow nice video as always 👍
i just got this drone and it turns on and I followed the steps you did but it won't fly, it just blinks yellow. I can move the camera up and down but I cant get it to fly. I press the unlock button but won't start. how do I fix this problem?
Hahaaa, I've been checking out your videos lately & thought the JJRC X11 was the one for me, so just took a look at your BUGS 4W revue, THEN you showed us the X103W, I think UK law has the 250g limit, so I think that'll be the one for ME. Although... could you do a top 5 under 250g budget vid??? :-) & how faraway can it fly & battery life!!! :-)
I wish someone made a drone that doesn't rely on a phone to operate, if they just made a nice controller that could be updated via a laptop for software upgrades I bet they would sell quite well.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks you so much! Do you think this drone will be good for me? It will be my first drone,or maybe you know a drone more good than that! My buget its only 130$..because i am only 15..and thats all the money i have for the moment
Thank you for the quick answer!! I might Go and buy this one then. I wanted to buy the Yuneec Bereue First, but I dont want to get the Trouble with the WiFi Connection. People say that the Drone Just flew away some Times, so if this one comes Home when loosing the Connection, i feel more Free to fly a bit further away. Two Questions left: How high does the Drone get? And the Speed Back and Forward is about 40km/h right, so what's about the Speed upwards? Thanks!
Just had to send this drone back. Bought it for my son and he tried to fly it 4 different times and the first 3 times it wouldn't fly just hover and toilet bowl to the ground. Fourth time we tried it the front right motor wouldn't spin and wasn't even trying to turn then we smelled burning electronics. This all happened in two days of owning it. I dont recomend buying this drone it was $100 with two batteries. Luckily I bought it off Ebay and they have a 100% return policy.
hello Captain .....Great Video Review ......Do you plan to review the MJX Bugs 4W that is coming out soon ? :) ... very similar to this one , but Upgraded with Brushless motors ...... i am sure you are aware .....Thanks for all your Fine Reviews.
btw ..... SJRC has a very similar drone called X11 ....not the F11 ....the New one is the X11 and it looks to be like MJX Bugs 4W .....so there may be an interesting compare to see which one is better .... maybe the same drone with diff branding not sure.

Hi Capt...love your review. Its so fun to watch the way you testing all those drones. Keep up the good job. Me from Malaysia.😊
Sir, your awesome!!! I've watched all your videos, I just wish I had at least one of the ones with the GPS you've shown on your videos but it's a bit difficult for me since I had an accident at work and broke my back, the only good thing about that is that now I have a lot of time to watch every video you came out with :-), thanks and God bless you sir...
Thank you and take care.
I've been watching your various videos for about a year now, and just bought one of these drones yesterday. I'm 74 and never flown a drone before, so wish me luck !! Oh, I bought this after watching this video a few months ago. I bought this drone AND an EX3, AND a nice hard case that holds them both very nicely. Only problem is there wasn't a charger for the EX3, so I have to find one.
If the Bugs 4W has an optical flow sensor and brushless motors for a decent price it'll be very tempting. Also learned that SJRC is releasing an F11 Pro which should also be great!
F11 Pro is where my money is, hopefully they do a good job on the camera upgrade
@@kart3288 Just realised the Bugs 4W is also the JJRC X11, which is cheaper ($168 USD on Aliexpress with 3 batteries and carry bag)...why is buying Chinese drones so complicated???
Captain Drone no more! You are offically Captain Danger. Very good camera and excellent lighting also. While it does not have a gimbal it's a real option for new pilots and hobbyist wanting to buy a first good drone. I like it a lot.
I like that title..... Hmmmmmm
Thanks for d review Capt! MJX have a lot of good drones but they can really improve more on d camera. I hope they release one soon.
is it true what I have heard that weight is no longer a factor for registration? either now or soon?
It depends on your countries' regulations. In Canada, where I am, it is a factor.
Thanks steve. First off that was hilarious getting close to the treess hahahahahaha.... Very entertaining and informative as usual.....Any idea when the B4 is coming out?
I'm told it is very soon.
Man you were lucky today not getting your drone stuck. Another fun and informative video. Would you call the camera 2 k or 1080 ?
It is 2K but obviously not a very detailed 2K.
It looks like you who in charge the battery while it is on the drum and I definitely would not recommend doing that though. What are your thoughts?
I think some words are missing in your question... I'm not sure what you are asking.
Nice review. Wonder why they are going backwards with their new line. One step forward, two steps back.
Amazing controller. +
Brushed motors. -
No gimbal or image stabilization. -
Proprietary usb charged batteries. -
All about price! If you jump back 12 months and see what your money could buy you for the price of this drone, you'd be very surprised. You'd get a 720p camera, low quality, brushless motors, no GPS, etc.
Hi Captain Drone. I’m loving your videos so please keep them coming 😊 . In one of your videos, you mentioned not ordering too many batteries due to customs restrictions. I have noticed some Chinese sites like Geekbuying will sell you 2 batteries with a drone but say that 3 batteries cannot be shipped to Canada. Other sites seem perfectly happy to let you order 3 batteries. Perhaps one of these days you could talk about this subject in more detail in a video? I’m also wondering if buying replacement batteries for an inexpensive Chinese drone is at all possible given the import restrictions. Thanks again and happy flying.
In Canada, batteries can be shipped via DHL in large quantities if the correct paperwork is complete. Many of these Chinese companies do not meet or created the necessary customs documentation.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for that info. I will have to look in to which companies can be relied upon to ship with the correct paperwork. Looking forward to your next video. Perfect flying weather - icy Canadian!
Hello Captain.. i got this drone for my son everything looks fine for a cheap one, i have a quick question about the batteries... how the lights are supposed to be during the charging time and how to know when it is fully charged ?? Thanks
When fully charged the lights will reach the top and stop blinking on the charger
What information is shown on the built in display on the remote. I realize it's not a video display but I can't tell what information it shows.
BTW, are your links affiliate links? I ask because I do plan on buying a drone in the near future and since your videos and replies have been so helpful, I want to make sure I use your affiliate link if you are using them.
Thank you! The display shows signal strength, height, range, battery power of remote & drone, Sats. The links below to Geakbuying who sent me the drone (i.e., they send me a drone to review and in return I post their links).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the info.
Cool cap👍. Which one is better for you, Bugs 5w or this one?
Two very different drones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Oh okay, I'm about to buy the Bugs, do you think it's a good idea?
@@chrisskywalker6079 Bugs 5w is a great drone. Very reliable and powerful.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks cap. Cheers.
Looks like a nice relatively inexpensive drone given all the features....So I like the price with your coupon but I'm hesitant to purchase any drone with brushed motors. I purchased a Hubsan X4 Desire Pro recently (w/Brushled "coreless" motors) and 1 of the engines burned out in just 8 flights.
Is that what one should expect with Brushed motors? What has your experience been with brushed motors (e.g., how long do they last)? I realize that you can always replace the engines but who wants to do that every 8 flights. Maybe I got a lemon engine..but still. Thoughts?
It depends. If you crash often then brushed motors may be a problem. If no crashes then they should last for a long time. Most appliances & tools in your home that have a motor have a brushed motor. The benefit to brushed motors is less weight, smaller battery.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thx...are you saying brushed motors are more fragile to crashes? Why would that be the case? Wires inside motor get bent? Hmmm? BTW, I didn't crash my Hubsan X4 drone and still only had 8 flights before it burned out. Just my luck. So I'm skeptical of brushed motors but good to hear that maybe my case is not the normal case.
@@jetmartin9501 More fragile to crashes because many use a gear system (motor connects to a gear). It is the gear that breaks.
Hi Captain, just wondering if you have any ideas as to why you had a good experience with this drone but the RC Saylors experienced lots of wobble and toilet bowling on theirs? Is it purely a matter of trying to fly a small drone in conditions that are too windy? Found a deal for one of these for $100AUD and keen to give it a go!
Really? I'll have to watch their vid. They might have received a Dud. Also if they are experienced enough they would know that jello in the video means one of the props is not correct and just needs to be replaced. I'm sure they knew that but just ran the video as is. I think this drone (check out the comments from people who have bought it) has one of the highest satisfaction rating.
I know this video is over year old, but what I notice is the remote is identical to Holy Stone remote. which makes me ask are their other remotes and apps I can use with my HS720e ?
Can you tell me which one is better (MJX x103w) or (SJRC z5)?
Good afternoon Captain drone! I have a question, a lot of people on UA-cam are reviewing this particular drone from mjx, and they're saying that the camera is very very bad! In your opinion, would you say that the camera on this particular drone is just about on par with the mjx bugs 5w which I also have? Or, would you say that the camera is not that good compared to the bugs 5w? As always thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to our wonderful Hobby and I will speak to you soon. Joey
I'd say it is on par with the MJXRC BUGS 5W. Afterall.... it is an MJXRC drone. I think some people say how amazing the features were of the BUGS 4W and excepted the camera to be just as incredible, but nope, it is just your typical BUGS camera.
The camera is terrible because the UAV is very unstable. Go with the B4W, it is much better for a little higher cost.
How about durability of motors..? Bcoz it brushed.. I only play 1 times visuo xs816 then not function anymore
Motors will last for years as long as you don't crash often.
Another TOP vid Captain Drone Sir
Great review, suppose the drones ok. Just can't spend that kind of money and not get brushless motors.
Another awesome video I love it,but I will waiting for bug 4W drone reviews 👍👍👍
I don't see any difference between this one and the bugs4w....
@@jorbontabugsy The B4W is a much better UAV, I have both...
Looks great Flies great if they only had added that optical flow sensor,, Image looks ok I am wondering if the lens on these be a cheap plastic the image on these quads never look that sharp other than that for the price can't complain...
Amazing review. This helps me a lot for my choosing of drones.
What did you end up getting?
I like it.
Is it better or less good than the Z5? That is the question.
I think it is better.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I think the Z5 is better because I have a Z5 and I don't have a MJX X103W.
That’s the walking trees lol. Great review Cap. Thanks
A good drone should be equipped with brushless motors, I like MJX but not with brushes motor so I go for mjg bugs 3 mini a cute size drone and now waiting for a new mjx bugs 4w to come...MJX a thrust worthy drone making company with advanced engineering technologies. 👍
Thanks for an enjoyable review always. CLASS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐CLASS
Not bad for the price. Video feed a little distorted.
Thanks for the knowledge my friend.
The drone looks like my contixo f22 just the transmitter is different. And it doesn't have the led lights. Great Video Thanks Rich
Would you say this is better than the sjrc z5
Hi Captain... Now I do realized that MJX X10W is also a bug that does a tree trimming. Hehehe. I've been following your vids since last week, and I do enjoy your reviews. I've just purchased the other version of this just this afternoon. I can't find the MX version here in the Philippines. Can you do the how to operate in a non GPS areas? Thanks.
Non GPS area would be indoors. It flys the same as GPS except it will drift with the wind that bounces off the walls.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the reply. bad experience with my unit. I'll have it replaced, just waiting for the replacement. It always goes wild after a few seconds after launching it, even in GPS mode or indoor. Tried it also Follow Me, yes it follows me for a minute or two, then after a few seconds, it also goes wild and flying in a different direction... as if I have to run to follow it hahaha. I have also experienced after unlocking the motor and click the launch button, it goes too high and can't be controlled. :(
Great looking little unit. Wow they pack so much into these I exspensive drones what a boon for beginners
Between x103w and z5... Which one is better?... I noticed that x103w video quite shaking compare to z5... And which one is more stable?... Tq captain
very good video. I have been looking for drones like this for a while now since this new law came out. all my drones are DJI .half of them are modified and go far and high. and I have 1 annoying neighbor. this drone will shut him up very good. he confronted me one time and told me not to fly over his house. of course I told him where to go if you know what I mean !!!! with this drone . I will tell him to call the cop since the drone is under 250 g. and there is new drone should come out very soon from dji . hope this will be under 250 grams. call Mavic mini . but this MJX x 103W is cheap . under 140$ Canadian on ebay. I don't think dji cans beat this price. quality maybe. cheer. good work
Bought one because of your review. Keep it up!
Hope you enjoy it. For the low price you get plenty of drone. Flys best when there is little wind.
Good morning Captain Drone... hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July, ? By any chance do you know what the return policy for Tomtop is? Do they make you pay for shipping back to China? Or when you call up do you get a return authorization, and then you're able to print out a return shipping label similar to Amazon? Tks. As always in advance... Joe
I have never returned anything back to China. My guess is they don't have such a policy, or if they do, then the cost to ship back is not worth it.
Great vid man, how do you turn on landing lights. Long press?
It depends. Sometimes it is short press, sometimes it is long press.
Looks somewhat similar to the JJRC X11. The controller specifically. Have you had a chance to try the X11? I’ve been curious as to how similar these two are to the SJRC F11
Not yet, but I hope to try it soon.
Hey man, just another question. Other videos seem to have Tello but yours as practically none. Is there a reason for this? Is it the way you fly?
Are you asking if I have TELLO videos on my channel?
Sorry I meant Gello
Other videos of this drone have a lot of gello but yours as as partially none
There are not many videos of this drone. Are you sure you are not mixing it up with the MJX X104G Drone?
I search up it up on UA-cam and the vid title say mjx x103w.
Hello Captain i have question for you hope you can help i have bought a MJX X103W [ bought 12- 3 -2019 still waiting on it to get here it] has return home so here is the question if you fly it out 200m and land it can you hit return home and it do so or after landing does it cancel the return home at that point?
As soon as you land it and the motors shut off, that is the end of return to home. The return to home upon the takeoff will change to the new location.
TY and love the videos
What would be your recommendation for a cheap(under $200) gps drone for a gopro?? Or perhaps a GPS drone with a camera and gimbal with close to gopro quality. Doesn't need any sensors or follow, just needs to hold a position and height. Im new to the channel, great stuff. I'm from the fpv freestyle world so if all else fails I'll go to inav maybe
When it comes to price, you will get nothing good for under $200 in the area of camera. You're up over $500 before things become acceptable, and up near $1000 before it becomes similar to a GoPro. You could strap a GoPro onto most large brushless drones. Obviously you won't get any video feed back from the GoPro to show you what your camera sees, unless you use the GoPro App and fly really close to yourself. Have a look at the 5W Drone: ua-cam.com/video/0BeZ8QNCr7I/v-deo.html
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 perhaps a used spark then? I don't have a 7 so the stabilization might not cut it hardmount. Thanks for the reply.
Spark is good. DJI sells refurbished ones at a good price.
The Bugs 4w is out, but I cannot find a weight of drone + battery.
I noticed that there are a couple of reviews on UA-cam saying that there have been issues with the X103W including flyaways. Is this correct, have you or anyone else had any problems with it? It looks like a great drone for the price.
Not in my tests or while I have been using them, so I can't comment from such an experience.
CAPTAIN DRONE Thanks for the prompt reply. I also have to say that I love your channel, it’s certainly my favourite drone channel. You are easy to listen to and the reviews are always very detailed and interesting. It’s also nice seeing different flight locations too. Keep up the great work. Regards from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
My 103 wobbles and is very unstable with terrible video.
Cap'n, bought this a year ago just getting to it - but should i be worried about downloading the app now??
If the app has been on your phone it should automatically update
I love the reviews CAPTAIN! I just purchased this as my FIRST drone. I ordered through TOMTOP but the coupon code was expired. It was still a very good price...$109 with 3 batteries. I searched for the X103W on the MJX website, but was unable to find it. Is there a good resource for support, i.e parts and accessories?
I think MJXRC has an ebay site with parts for their drones.
Wait, there's another version with brushed motors, more expensive and better??? What it sounded like you said near the end.
Would you have this one or the e511s?, Just wondered what you think is best captain👍
This is a really good drone for the price (you get plenty.... but just not brushless motors or a gimbal).
Hi. Im 1 of your avid viewers. planning to buy a foldable drone below 250gram weight. made my research now have a shortlist between MJX 103 & the Z5. in your opinion considering every aspect w/c one would u choose? thank u so much more power to your channel and hope to hear from you really soon.
The MJX 103 has bottom sensors. Cameras are very similar on both (watch the reviews on both and pick the camera that appeals to your eyes)
I’m in Mex so think I will order this drone to stay under the 250 g limit. Thanks
What is the name of the similar drone with brushless motors you said you would be reviewing? I couldn’t quite understand you. I think Pro something. Tks again.
The BUGS 4W
a online seller here in my country are already selling the new bugs 4 but hard to find in their search for an item menu it only shows up when you use this mjx x103w key word in their search menu and no interesting blog here in you tube have ever shown up which make me thinking twice if i should get one..cheaper than the older mjx bugs5 , 150 US dollars.
Captain , their is a lot of us who bought this drone and if you have time to look up mix x103w problems and see what you might think the problem is looks like drone is losing connection some say it the wind but mine does it when there is no wind when i first lift off its fine then it start going every where with no input , help us if you can .
If the compass calibration was fine (all lights solid) and the GYRO calibration (both joysticks to the lower left, or lower right), and the GPS is turned ON vice OFF, and props are not damaged, then all should be well.
Thank u for your time
Comparing this and B2se, which would you recommend for a beginner?
This one is portable and the Bugs is not. However, the bugs is more powerful due to the motors. You decide.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I just needed to see you write B2se has more powerful to confirm my choice. Plus generally bugs fly longer too. Thanks CD!
Captain, went ahead and purchased the X103w from Banggood based on yours and other recommendations. To say that I am TOTALLY disappointed with the purchase is an understatement. I like the size/weight and the finish of the drone is nice but the drone can't seem to fly in the lightest of winds. I have not had a single successful flight in GPS mode. As in the RC Saylors and JD quad videos the drone is prone to a upset wobble and loss of control (not 100% sure why but suspect that the control algorithm for recovery after an disturbance/upset is incorrect. The controller gains have to be adjusted by MJX). Can break the unstable wobble by quickly switching out of GPS mode, manually regain control and putting back in GPS mode. Only successful flights have been hovering indoors either in GPS mode (zero satellites) or Gesture Mode (totally manual control). I would note that Yaw gain is very high and control is sensitive while the other control functions are dead or dampened. Have had outdoor flights where control input did not give any response.
Video is poor (major jello effect - could be props or brushed motors with no camera stabilizer) but still pics are OK (high shutter speed). Tried Point of Interest mode with total failure. Drone started circling, wandered off, lost control and wobbled to the ground. RTH = Rise to High Altitude (not sure if this feature works as advertised return to home). Will play with it some more but based on my experience I would rate this drone as a ZERO out of five. I would not recommend to anyone and in my case, not worth returning to Banggood.
Wonder if the SJRC Z5 has similar problems.
Video quality is clearly as shown in every review on UA-cam. As for wobble and wandering off and point of interest, RTH not working for you.... Well, you either have a broken drone, a dud, or the worst cell phone on the planet. As we say in the drone world and RC plane world, the price reflects the level of technology and depending on where you are coming from (total beginner new to drones, or a DJI owner), your experience and expectations will remain unmanageable and dissimilar. Some will love this drone, as been clearly shown and others who unknowingly expect plenty for their $$ will not be as happy. For the price of this product you get plenty of technology, but if you want DJI quality, this will not cut it. It is amazing to look back one year ago on my channel and see what was being offered in the drone market for the same price, you'd be rather shocked. I have reviewed the MJX X103 and the JJRC model (both identical) and both of my reviews clearly show what a user should expect and not expect.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the feedback. Having a DJI 1 and DJI Pro+, I was not expecting same kind of performance and quality but was hoping for a nice sub 250g "pocket drone" that would be at minimum safe. As the drone flew like this straight out of the box, I guess I must have a DUD. Definitely don't suspect the iphone. Oh well....you win some...you lose some. Life drones on.
@@steveb8670 I think this drone sold really well due to price/features. It is very much like the SJRC Z5 from months ago. Unfortunately low cost drones really don't come with support or warranties or 100% quality control. Coming from the DJI world, my review and others showing the video quality should have set your expectations on the correct path. For people new to drones, this MJX drone would seem incredible because they have no drone experience to compare it with. I have a future video of my 90 year old Dad flying the JJRC H73 for the first time and since drones are Sci-Fi to him, he was really impressed.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Decided to take the quad apart and check inside. Found one wire (green) to one motor with coating rubbed off to bare wire and a free screw inside the body. Wonder if these contributed to the problem of the drone having fits and seizures. Will test and see how it flys post reassembly
Today we see 'Cap'n Tree Trimmer' in action! You looked like you were having way too much fun with this little drone in the park 😁
My MJX 104G (inc. 3 batteries) arrived today, purchased based on one of your previous videos - first flight was really easy to set up, video was good, GPS was stable, REALLY nice and quiet! - first flight done in light / no wind conditions - lightweight and under 250g 👍
Great! Good to hear Dale.
Hello CD, will this fly indoors much like how you did with the the JD-65G drone in your home?
Yes, it has an indoor mode.
I like it but I don't see many I don't. The Unboxing part the tag was talking about taking plastic off sencers (apologize for spelling) are there any? Landing Lights see how bright they were is catchy love to see things like that start being one of the common thing on all the drone. Why? Who dosnt like super bright flying flashlights. Cap anther Good one! U going to let us hear that Rush jam 🎸 anything of 2112 . I got my lighter READY. LoL
No a joke Have good day thanks as always !!
hi there, could you please tell me about JJRC H73 vs MJX X193W which one better. Thank you.
I have not heard of the X193W
Right better late than never but the Google maps now works with the latest update of the mjx app.
I enjoy your reviews however, I felt this one was a little rushed and cursory.
You didn't point out the flight time per battery, the lcd screen is it readable in sunlight? the software was not mentioned and you didn't give your impressions of the picture and video quality.
Actually I spent time on this video. Oh well, I'm sure I'll miss things in future vids as well. Screen is 100% readable. Battery is somewhere under 20 mins. I don't give impressions of the picture and video quality... that is up to the viewer. Remember, I'm a professional flying thousand $$ drones. What looks not great to me, would look amazing to someone else, so I show the footage and the viewer (either beginner or someone with knowledge and what they are looking for) then decides.
Thanks for responding
Hi Captain, great review on X103w drone.
Actually I just got mine today. Try my first flight, and find out that the drone is unable to hover at the same location even without wind and GPS On. Are there any thing I miss out for the setup? I already follow all your instruction in the video.
Thanks.
On the side of the remote is the GPS on/off switch. Are you sure you have it set to ON? This drone will stay in place when GPS is working. Also, did you do the compass calibration correctly and are the arms fully extended?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Yes. The GPS switch is On at the controller, I even can see the GPS signal indicator around 10.
The propeller bar already extended to the limits.
The compass calibration done, just by spinning the drone 3 times.
The only things is that I'm flying the drone on the 4th floor (car park roof top).
Thanks Captain.
Steve if you don’t mind me asking. What has your most expensive drone?
Oh, we are talking in the thousands.
Captain! Is there any rubber landing feet accessories for this drone??
Probably, but I could not tell you where exactly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Okay captain thanks for the information
If you ever had to replace a motor on this, how do you do it?, i cant find any videos explaining it...pls help
I have never changed a motor on a drone like this. You would have to disassemble the drone arm to get at the motor.
I just rec'd my x103w, flys great. How the heck do I get it to load my local map? It's just a blank screen.
Thanks for the review!
Load the maps by opening the APP and going into waypoints before you connect the drone (it may take a minute to load).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I will give that a try this evening. Thanks.
I've got a separate wifi hotspot that I carried along with me to fly the drone, but the phone couldn't read that either, after connecting to hotspot on drone.
I'll try your method next.

hello Captain Drone. just got a good new. the Mavic Mini will come out by the end of this month. and is 500$ with 1 battery. 2.7 k . 4 kms range, and is white in color. not lipo battery . but is rechargeable . of course less than 250 g. the drones are already in Canada. is a bit pricey compared to the 2 drones less than 250 g you put on youtube.
cheer
That would be nice if DJI did in fact release the Mavic Mini this month.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 my friend works at the drone store saw it. the supplier brought it in one day about a week ago. that is the info I gave you. is a bit pricey .
This drone is out of stock and they don’t know when it will be back. Do you have suggestion for another light drone like this one? e The Bugs 4w is a big jump. Tx.
Sure hope your eye is better. I’ve had 2 eye surgeries on my cornea so I sure can relate.
The JJRC H73 is the same drone (might be in stock).
Hi Captain, which 4k small drone under $400, that has good flight time would you recomend?
Parrot anafi runs for $599 but such a nice drone
There is next to nothing to recommend for under $400 because there are no true 4K video camera drones for that price point.
Used.
CAPTAIN DRONE Do you know anything about Syma W1Pro. Syma has a brushless motor, and I wonder what to choose MJX X103W or Syma W1Pro
I dont understand why in this day and age companies release a camera drone then put no image stabilisation on it. Without image stabilisation this drone is pointless. Anyhow nice video as always 👍
This. 9 seconds into the video and went "garbage. Needs image stabilization / gimbal."
@@neooneeightytwo Nope I watched the whole video your comment is stupid and invalid.
planning to buy that one for my 1st ever drone. is it ok for me to use that one as a beginner? can i use it on a beach or sandbar beaches? thank you
Sure, as long as no one objects to your flying
Does it connect to the remote so that the drone can fly any further?
Not this model.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks
i just got this drone and it turns on and I followed the steps you did but it won't fly, it just blinks yellow. I can move the camera up and down but I cant get it to fly. I press the unlock button but won't start. how do I fix this problem?
Did you do the compass calibration? Is the controller bound to the drone?
Hahaaa, I've been checking out your videos lately & thought the JJRC X11 was the one for me, so just took a look at your BUGS 4W revue, THEN you showed us the X103W, I think UK law has the 250g limit, so I think that'll be the one for ME. Although... could you do a top 5 under 250g budget vid??? :-)
& how faraway can it fly & battery life!!! :-)
Under 250 grams there is nothing but toy drones. DJI MAVIC MINI is the only good one.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know, but don't have 400 quid to spend on a drone! :-(
I wish someone made a drone that doesn't rely on a phone to operate, if they just made a nice controller that could be updated via a laptop for software upgrades I bet they would sell quite well.
But then the man can't monitor you.
Nice review, nice drone and not expensive at all :)
which one is good between sjrc z5 and mjx x103w ?
X103W has more to offer.
I disabled the front light of my bugs3 and removed the legs and I have more minutes of fun.
I can't remember. Is it allowed to fly at night in Canada?
Now you can as long as the drone has indicator lights.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 really? I am jealous 😂
In germany in strictly forbidden 😅

Hi,
Does the x103W also come Back Home if the Connection is lost or if the Battery is Low? Because the Bugs 4W does.
Yup, it sure does.
Thank you for the quick answer!!
I might Go and buy this one then. I wanted to buy the Yuneec Bereue First, but I dont want to get the Trouble with the WiFi Connection. People say that the Drone Just flew away some Times, so if this one comes Home when loosing the Connection, i feel more Free to fly a bit further away.
Two Questions left:
How high does the Drone get?
And the Speed Back and Forward is about 40km/h right, so what's about the Speed upwards?
Thanks!
Just had to send this drone back. Bought it for my son and he tried to fly it 4 different times and the first 3 times it wouldn't fly just hover and toilet bowl to the ground. Fourth time we tried it the front right motor wouldn't spin and wasn't even trying to turn then we smelled burning electronics. This all happened in two days of owning it.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you Captain!
btw ..... SJRC has a very similar drone called X11 ....not the F11 ....the New one is the X11 and it looks to be like MJX Bugs 4W .....so there may be an interesting compare to see which one is better .... maybe the same drone with diff branding not sure.
@@bobbysutton9024 exact same drone
