This GPS camera quadcopter is currently the least expensive ready to fly commercial drone with GPS and real return to home/landing capability. Find it soon here
Pro’s
– Currently the lowest cost RTF GPS equipped quadcopter.
– Includes position hold, headless mode, and return to landing.
– Will automatically fly back and land at its takeoff point upon activation of the return to home switch, or automatically if the quadcopter loses signal from the transmitter such as from flying out of range, from electrical interference, or if the transmitter is turned off (but don’t deliberately turn off the transmitter to test this).
– Telemetry information available on controller includes range, altitude, heading, and remaining battery power (simple bar graph for battery power).
– Includes 2MP still pictures, 720p HD video camera.
– Small and safe quadcopter. Should be able to fly this most places without being hassled.
– Pretty good flight time at about 13 minutes for the “E” version (slightly less on the “S” follow me version).
– 150 grams weight. Does not require FAA registration.
Cons
– Although with very advanced features, the quadcopter also is equipped with brushed motors. You may need to replace a motor some day.
– Does not come with needed microSD card or card reader to record and download camera’s video.

Using computer to format a SanDisk 64GB. Format is MS-DOS (FAT) Verified
that card is not defective. Carefully following all 502E procedures.
Receiving flashing video icon on transmitter. Turning off camera after
flight. Still not getting anything on the card. Any suggestions?
can I use the HUBSAN H502S blades(white) on the h502E as I don’t like red
lol thanks again
hi I got mine yesterday but for some reason when I record video it wont

transmitter? If you can could you please help me?
Can i stick a go pro on it? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!
nice review.
HI COPTER 101!! I FLEW MY HUBSON 502E 1 TIME. PUT IT UP 4 COUPLE DAYS, TOOK
IT OUT NOW, IT WON’T BIND TO TRANSMITTER, I TRIED WHAT U SAID, HOLD DOWN
CAMERA BUTTON. NOTHING HAPPENS I EVEN TRIED THE TRANSMITTER CALIBRATION,
NOTHING!! PLEASE HELP!!!
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, BUT I TRIED ALL U SAID, FRESH BATTERIES, FULL CHARGE
BATTERY, STILL WONT BIND!!!??
OKAY THANKS!!
Sort-of balanced props on quad. Very difficult with gears, but now even
quieter. Need external battery for this prop balancing. Will take an SJCAM
up for 3 minutes max.(up and down) with no jello but with image stabilizer
on. Great to take quick aerial view on 2K. Flight time without SJ is 14.45
minutes. Oh, the gimbal that I used is the cutting edge use of velcro and
ties (lol) Its hard on to the body. (sorry 101) Just something else. I put
FPV equip underneath, drawing power from the quads battery, but the GPS
failed to lock in the satellites.
Hello Quadcopter, I purchased this drone based on your review and I have
been very happy with it until recently.. It has about 5 flights on it so
far, but now when I turn on the transmitter to bind the quad, there is no
binding occurring. I have done all of the recalibration methods for
compass, and transmitter, but to no avail. The TX and the quad are fine it
seems. Both light up normally with the exception that the TX does not bind
to the quad and no longer shows any voltage for the quad battery indicator
on the screen…… Might you have any tips or suggestions?? Thank you for
any time you might give…
Can i connect it to my phone and how should i record?
You must have LOADS of quadcopters!! I’ve always wondered this!! ?
I noticed slightly wobbles during flight. I did the compass calibration and
even motor calibration by holding the left sick down and moving the right
sick back and forth but there’s still some wobble. Any ideas what’s wrong?
is the camera on this drone better than the hubsan h107c plus cause I was
gonna get a drone with a nicer camera
I just bought this and flew it today, so easy and fun. I was not able to
enter headless mode by depressing the throttle stick. Can you elaborate
please on how to enter headless mode? Thanks!
Can you bind a H502S controller with a H502E quadcopter? If so how?
Hi quadcopter101. The frame rate on the camera looks a little shaky, is it
around 15 frames a sec? Also, is this the same camera as the h107c+? I
quite like the camera in my h107c+. If it’s the same I may purchase one of
these. Here’s a video I shot using the x4
Cheers Bud
Hi. Love your videos. You convinced me to buy the 502E as I am a beginner
at this. Ordered from Banggood with extra battery and spare motors for
around €100. Flew some micro quadcopters I bought for the kids prior to
this one, but other than that, I have no experience at all with drones.
Just did a quick flight in the garden after going through the manual (which
sucks a bit but still ok) as I couldn’t wait till tomorrow morning. Didn’t
crash it, so from the first feel this really seems an easy quadcopter to
fly. I shot some video and noticed that the datestamp of the recorded
videos and photos are set to 31st December 2014 (????). Did you encounter
this or a similar issue and if so, do you know how to fix it?
Keep up the nice videos.
my control does not recognize the drone what I do?
Hello Quadcopter 101, have you noticed any problems with this drone? And
would you recommend it. Thanks.
but it has a brushed motor?
Any idea what that micro usb plug on the circuit board is for? It’s not
listed in the manual. You see it when you open the battery compartment.
Maybe update the firmware???
I have one, and love it! Brushed motor wear out quick, so have some spares!
otherwise great quad!, footage at my channel!
when tou are talking about the meters are you guessing or does the
controller lcd show you
if you can remember please start doing a punch test on all quadcopters at
the beginning of each flight. so we can see the thrust thank you
In your expert opinion, does the H502E have enough power to lift a Möbius
Action Cam?
Thanks ?
