"You used to have to spend at least $300 to get something of decent quality and even then it was really rare to find something solid." That is a great example of the rapid development of the drone market. The level of technology continues to rise even as the cost to the consumer continues to drop! Thank you Abby for coming out to film this episode with a cold!
GPS doesn't use cell data, it uses satellites. --- 5Ghz Wifi has some advantages, and some disadvantages, compared to 2.4Ghz. 5G has a speed of up to 1 Gbps (gigabits per second, in a lab.. less in the field), 2.4G has a speed up to 600 Mbps, so FPV should be better at 5G. 5G has a shorter range than 2.4G, which means 5G should be less likely to get interference from nearby devices like cell phones and internet routers, but has a shorter flight range than 2.4G. 5G signal, due to it's shorter wavelength, is not as good at going "through" solid objects, like doors, walls, trees, as 2.4G longer wavelength.
I just bought a Contixo F-24 Pro and can't find the wifi signal of the drone to connect the app. Does my phone need to be 5G for me to receive the wifi connection? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have EPIK for few months now and found one design flow on those drones. At the beginning drone was a bit noisy, one motor rotate with slightly bigger force then other three. After disassembly i found a cause of that - one of landing leg screws was tiny bit longer and push plastic base under motor up, just enough to touch motors shaft. After correction everything came to normal and flight time increase .
(someone is flying a similar-looking drone, when someone else approaches) "Hey, nice drone!" "Thanks!" "Is it a Helifar?" "Helifar? No!" (hell if I know!) "You don't have to be rude ..."
Just received one of these off Amazon for $130 . This video was the trigger. I really think I may be in trouble. Bought my first "real" drone 3 weeks ago and now I have the B3, Kaptur GPS II, and a Hubsan H501S-S.
While it's more expensive than this model I'm really hoping to see you guys review the Parrot Anafi. That's the one on my radar right now. Just need to save up enough and/or see if anything better comes out in the meantime. Thanks for the honest reviews that you constantly offer!
Another great job by UA-cam keep up the good work love your honesty and how are you are letting us get to know your family so cool I know you guys are great people and take good care of your young child 😉.....I would like to see more airplanes though did you ever think of getting into Jets? Only the best to you guys keep up the good work
Not to bad a drone, little out of my price range at the mo, saving for other things...so something coming for the crawlers and waiting for snow..UMMM lets see either a plough on the front or winch..or even chains or snow tyres...Looking forward to seeing what is coming
Hi! i love my new bugs 3! Extremely hairy trying to fly it in the house! The star wars speeder bike is far more forgiving! ha ha. Its 8 degrees here in Minnesota tonight, lots of snow here. Cant wait to get outdoors with them. I have 2 drones now. One for inside, One for racing around outside. my question is, do I get a camera for the bugs 3 or I was thinking about going up a step to a holy stone HS100 with a built in camera? I would think you guys are overwhelmed with questions. Thought I could get some feedback, If not its all good.
My JJPRO "EPIK" drone does the same thing as this drone does in Orbit mode. That tells me that this drone is a carbon copy right down to the firmware code. My "EPIK" came with two flight batteries. Finally, I had a flight a couple of days ago that exceeded 20 minutes (!) on a single flight battery! :-) I had brought both flight batteries with me but I ended up only flying one because I had to go poddy.
Got 2 of the epics they are awesome. Ours work great on the mjx bugs 2se app. Have galaxy 8s 5g plus but jjrc app wont load. Wonder what drones will be like when Amelias doing reviews. Good job.
Yep, I'll stick with the Yuneec Q500+ for actual filming but the JJRC may be an option for something lighter. This one having skipping frames considering it is a camera drone is a hard pass.
Hi Nate, and Abby. been watching you guys for some time now. About a year ago I purchased an XK-X300 after your review. Being somewhat of a newbie I took it out today and my mistake. The winds were just too strong. Well It's gone. Wind got It and I couldn't recover. My question is can the transmitter that came with it still be used with any other drones, that you know of. I hate to just junk it. Any help you might give would be much appreciated.
Brrrrr & Sniffles, my friends! Abby, you're indeed, a trooper - BIG👍👍❤️😊!!! Abby, hope you feel better 🔜!!! Both of you are so very dedicated to us, the RC family, for getting out there in the windy, freezing cold & doing this awesome review!! ❄️😍👌 Nate, you referred to your phone as an “iPhone“ - did your Note 4 die? I just replaced the screen/digitizer myself (easy fix) on my Note 4 & it's still going strong! 💪 (I love being able to have extra batteries🔋 - main reason for not upgrading 🚫) Take great care! JP 👌💯❤️
Hey Nate, Hey Abbey, Great vid as usual guys . Which fpv whoop style would you recommend out of all that you've tried I like the inductrix with meow mode and the small pepper from a few days ago looks quite cool too but there are so many others which was your favourite?
Great review guys I'm beginning to think mjx just signed off the patents for all the drones they make though....anyway entertaining as usual and good job coming out to film in the cold Abby 👍
Great review as usual, For a machine in that price range...It perform's better than my all singing and dancing DJI Mavic Air. Less disconnect issues and you get quite a good flight time as well.👍
Hello sailors, I am a little confused about this type of drones and bug 3 and bugs pro drones. Bugs are cheaper than these types of drones. What should I buy to start my drone hobby? I am excited because I just flew a DJI Phantom 4 pro plus yesterday. Its stabilization is just awesome and my first commercial drone flight ever. But it is very costly. Note: I am from INDIA and drones come under the law now. I contacted the sellers but they didn't respond correctly to me, and lots of drones are now cant ships to INDIA.
I don't think that the "insufficient mobile phone GPS signal" has got anyting to do with data-stream or the likes, but like it says with a problem of the GPS on the phone you used during this flight.
I’m confused I thought this was s 5g drone. So it handles 4g as well. I was reading from your link that a note about the epik that the phone has to be 5g. I didn’t see your epik vid but I’m guessing you used your iPhone 6 for that vid also so you can use a 4g phone with the epik right?
Good to get outside again! Still too cold for me. ☹ So this Helifar is a clone of a clone? (it seems to me that JJRC never make anything original). All these copies make the drone market very confusing. 😵
In this day in age there are many cool toys. But one thing is this, a child is not a toy. You are new parents and your playing with toys and not paying attention, any attention to your child. You stated that she was in a warm car with a baby monitoring device. She has been using a camera while shooting your video, and while doing so has stayed focused one one thing, you flying a toy. That SUV is a far distance from both of you, and both of you are completely focused on a toy. Thanks for your full review of that toy. Nice to see that company's are somewhat funding you for the videos due to some of the toys you got from some companies, there quite expensive.
Another bugs 5w too. I dont know why though, anyone would pay so much more for this, when they could get the epic pro version MUCH cheaper. AND the b5w is much cheaper too. This is on flash sale now for 180bucks and thats too expensive. Imagine how much it is at regular price. The epic is on flash too now and 50bucks cheaper. Just sayin.
It's cold where they are as well, hell winter in the US in most parts sucks. I will say this year has been very mild so far but next week we're supposed to get an arctic blast coming from Canada yay pfffft.
Cool looking drone isn’t it.. for £150-£180 I feel it’s a bit over priced though due to the poor 1080p camera quality, lol it’s does crack me up how poor some of these so called 1080p cameras are, did you notice the picture image loose shape etc when you move and turn the camera, I would say to people leave this and go for a bugs instead..
It is really interesting.. somehow they all fail to compete with DJI. Look at AMD with the new Ryzen in CPU market, or Pimax in VR they managed to offer better or more at cheaper or reasoanble prices however all those drones are just rubbish. C'mon guys you can challenge DJI, work hard, work harder!
@@TheRcSaylors Thanks for the love Nate and Abby. And I totally agree. I love my little Spark, as I know you love yours too. It does have it's limitations, but it is amazing how much tech they can get in such a small package.
Hey, great vids, but, FYI, if no one is in the vehicle with the baby it's an unattended vehicle, especially if vehicle systems are on and there are distractions. So, hopefully this is resolved. More great vids👍
Please be careful of using the car to keep her warm. I could tell you bad stories of carbon monoxide poisoning from the exact situation. i love you guys i dont want you to have regrets. Thanks for all you reviews! Be safe and keep warm. you can delete this as you wish.
@@fightthebully3331 As I agree with you, I lost a friend in a lot older vehicle I'm sure. I was hoping for my comment to be deleted and just never put all info out in the future. I love the sailor's! I was only trying to help.
That doesn't really make sense since it is 5Ghz Wifi, which has a shorter range than 2.4Ghz. And 5Ghz shorter wavelength is not as good at going through solid objects like walls, doors, trees, as 2.4Ghz.

hope soon you have review of fimi x8 se..
Yeah we are going to try and pick one up :-)
Some good features on the controller. Flew hi,far,and well. 🤒 get well soon Abby. Good review. Do you have video monitor to keep 👀 on Amelia. ☺
It's exactly the same drone as the JJpro x5 ,I think they are manufactured in the same factory and they put different brands :) :)
nate i live in vermont today's is 10. dont't complain!
What app do you use on your mobile phone for the Helifar b3
hi your my favorite rc people you make my day on every video thank you
Thank you so much Nathan!!
Do you have to register this dorne? FFA or something?
I have a question can you use fat shark goggles or head plays for FPV on that drone ?
It's just a bugs 5w, the same with the epik, it's the same camera same specs , it's just been re-branded .
Do a speed run on the wltoys a959b with your GPS speed metre
My thought when i heard the field was muddy, was no running for Nate. then when testing follow me Abbey said it.
Lol that's right :-) Baby steps!
Not a bad drone at all though. Thanks for the video guys.
Excellent video!! Get well soon Abby 👍👍
