I know you have had a lot of questions from me to the point of being a pest. I just wanted at this time to thank you so much for taking the time to answer all these questions. I have to say that you are the most dependable host to return a comment. A week or so before Christmass a tornado ripped thru my community just barley missing my home
Prior to that I lost my father, but communicating about drones really uplifted my mental state. Thank you Captain Drone. You are a very energetic intelligent person. Thanks again from my heart.

You always make your reviews so easy and interesting no waffling on thanks Captain.

the GPS is NOT the same as the Compass. The Calibration that you did calibrates the compass. Many people seem to get confused about this. Of course you can do a compass calibration anywhere (inside or outside) as long as there is not electrical or magnetic interference.

I bought one of these based on your review, thank you. This is my first drone to "dip-my-toe" and didn't expect much but I am impressed with the quality and how much punishment it has stood up to. Bought from Banggood btw.

I can definitely see the reduced framerate at 4k 17fps during video while the drone is moving. Thanks for the review in the super cold!
Looks like this is a great flying drone and better image than the original, but I'm looking at the Zino Pro or the Mavic Mini for the stability of the camera gimbal.

I fly the JJRC X11 and I can't see the added value
from a 4K camera without a gimbal that records
at 17 fps.
You should enjoy a drone like this for what it is;
an agile, powerful flyer and if you want to record
good footage you can get that for slightly more
from for instance an original Hubsan Zino.

Thanks Captain. I bought the Bugs 4 2k video version a while ago after seeing your review. Flew it in the weekend. Such a stable and easy drone to fly. Very reliable 👍

Captain Drone has become famous for that "pretty darn cold" thing.😂

I've watch this video like 10 times. I love the review. Thanks to you I have one on the way. Cant wait to get it and try it out myself. Anyways, great video and keep up the good work. Take care..

So much for my timing. I just ordered the 2K version. The human eye at 1:1 cannot discriminate between 2 and 4K. Electronically in 4K, you have a wider field of view and better low light performance. Things are going to appear further away and curved, which may or may not be an issue for your particular use. Also, with 4K, you can enlarge the image with much better resolution. What I DO like about this model, is it ups the frame rate at 2K to 25 FPS instead of 20, which makes a significant difference in the smoothness of the video stream. Amazon will have these in stock for about $40 more in 3 to 4 weeks. I never order electronics over $200 directly from China because returns are a pain. Amazon has a no questions asked 30 return policy which is worth the premium.

Looks like a nice solid drone. Maybe they should give it at least a 2-axis gimbal to keep the cost down. I will never understand why a lot of these drones have a high resolution video camera without any sort of stabilization.

[daniel-G]

I'll have to say Captain, you are quite the Trooper for not letting freezing weather deter your mission. Always enjoy your reviews. Have purchased several drones after your recommendation. Thanks for all your valuable information.

[pfarwig]

"Compass calibration" has nothing to do with GPS in my opinion, so there's no "fake calibration". An electronic compass works based on Hall-sensors, and these work indoors very well.

[ricdav]

Do you remember where the number is on the B4W that you use to register it?

[kimdahlstrom]

Just bought this drone, I'm very happy with it. Very fun to fly. Thank you for your great reviews 😀👍🏼

[GorillamansGarage]

I have always said... When MJX goes to the 3 axis gimbal... Look out DJI. But may be the "V" from Zoom Zoom will???

[filicloe]

Hi Captain Drone,
Coupons code Geekbuying are expired.
Do you have a new one 🤔 ?
Thank you very much !

[markcloudchaser]

I couldn't get the F11 Pro but I have this 1 coming from Banggood with x3 Batteries. I can't wait. Thanks Cap..💯

Hi, based on your reviews of the Bugs 4w I purchased the Bugs 4w 4k. Just for grins this morning on a calm day I did a range test on my new Bugs 4w 4k drone. I set the altitude to 110m and had the drone fly line of sight out. At ~400m the WiFi to my Note 8 crapped out, but the telemetry on the controller was still working. I flew the drone out to 1700m and could have kept going, but was concerned for my battery level and did a return to home. The Bugs 4w 4k landed within two feet of the takeoff location. Bottom line is that this drone will go at least a mile. What a nice low cost drone!

[mitchellbaker]

I've been comparing bugs 4w 4k photos to Bugs 7 4k photos and bugs 7 pictures are much clearer. Seems to be 4W trees are blurred but B7 are sharp. If you prefer clear photos, go with Bugs 7. I thought they were supposed to be the same quality but they are not.
