MJX Bugs 3 Drone Quadcopter Outdoor Maiden Flight In Strong Wind With Runcam 2 Flight Footage

7 years ago

This is the maiden outdoor flight with my new MJX Bugs 3 Drone Quadcopter Outdoor with Runcam 2 Flight Footage recorded by my beautiful girlfriend.

In this video I do two flights, both in some very strong wind. In the first I rip around and do flips getting a feel for its performance capabilities. For the second flight, I put Velcro in the bottom of the GoPro Ready holder and got some flight video from this brushless platform.

This is where I got the Runcam 2: https://goo.gl/hYGppY

Here are the pros and cons for this RC Drone Review:

Pros:
- It looks really cool
- Flips are nice and tight
- It has a long flight time, but not quite as long as I expected
- Its wind handling is exceptional
- It is really nice to fly in small spaces or wide open spaces
- Its price for what you get is very impressive since it is a Brushless RC Drone for a little over $100

Cons:
- The GoPro holder needs some modification to work ideally.
- The process to turn it on isn't that user friendly, but does get much easier with practice.
- The propriety battery could be a con.

This really feels like a high performance version of the very reliable and extremely stable Syma X8C Venture quad and the newer Syma X8HG multirotor. I have used my Runcam 2 on both platforms and the video was very nice with both, though I have never flown them in the wind I did with this one.

Another multi-rotor that this reminds me of a bit is the far more expensive and advanced, the Hubsan X4 Pro H109S Drone. Other than the cost, the main differences are that camera position is fixed and there is no gimble or GPS to assist with flight.
