FPV Maiden Flight - Eachine EX2mini RTF Brushless FPV Drone Quadcopter

6 years ago

This is my Eachine EX2 Mini RTF Brushless FPV Drone Quadcopter Outdoor FPV Maiden. This is basically an MJX Bugs 3 Mini Clone and will use the same battery. It also flies a lot like the original MJX Bugs 3 with an FPV Camera built into it.

You will see in the video that it likes to gain altitude quickly and is very maneuverable. It isn't quite as fast as I thought it would be, but that is a good thing for those wishing to learn how to fly an FPV Racer. You have to get used to flying something like this first before you upgrade to something bigger and more powerful.

Here are my review notes for this Eachine EX2 Mini FPV RC Drone:

Pros:
- It has lots of power with that 2S brushless powered quad motors
- It is a nice beginner RTF FPV model perfect for someone with RC Quad flight experience that wants to get into hobby grade FPV.
- 5.8ghz FPV that will work with nearly any 5.8ghz box goggles, Fatshark FPV Goggles, or FPV monitor.
- Angle and Acro flight modes
- High and low rate flight options and both as super smooth & responsive in angle mode
- Bright lights that make this is good night flyer candidate
- The flight time is extremely long
- The FPV signal is strong and clear for a model that only has 25mw of power coming from the FPV VTX

Cons:
- The proprietary battery is something I can look past, but it is definitely a con for me
- The camera position is not adjustable to make it easier for more advanced flyers to rip around
- During the FPV Maiden, it had some weird hiccups in mid-flight, but I still like I had control the entire flight
