Are those motor’s snap in?
Will you recommend it to me ?
Hello, I need information, does anyone know if the h502s radio also works
for h501s? I have a problem with the radio of my H501S, but in Italy I can
not find it, but I can buy the h502s, but I have to be sure. thank you all
I apologize for my English
Is the video quality on the screen good enough to fly FPV? On my H107D, the
screen flickers and cuts out at a short distance but when I use my Quanum
FPV goggles I get much better video range.
Great reviews! Love it! Keep it up!
?Very nice detailed review. Does transmitter has micro card SD reader slot
to record flight video and pictures? As you said no option to record video
in your review. Thank you.
Pretty impressive for the price point. It’s position hold looked very
stable. Looks like a very good beginners FPV GPS Quad.
hello, I am a decent drone flyer from flying friends drones. I am looking
to purchase a drone to fly for fun and maybe some video footage. I want
something decently fast and under $200. what would you recommend? the syma
x5-c1 or this?
Hi, in your review on the Hubsan x4 501s, at the bottom of your ‘show more’
section, you say: “The GPS of Hubsan H501S is a Global Version. It can be
used in any country.”
I am from South Africa and I’m interested in the Hubsan x4 H502s. Does this
model also have a Global Version GPS?
Is it really great difference between the brushless motor 501s and brushed
motor 502s? I am interested in 502s due to the small size. But is there
great difference when you fly the drone?
this look amazing for a beginner
Why is video so choppy?
Just bought mine using your link above – thanks for the review.
Other than the GPS, Is the flying performance of H502s much better if
compare with those similar size drone with 5.8ghz FPV and altitude hold
such as X5G/509g/CX-32/H8D? Because the price difference is quite big
I watched the new video of the 502E and the video quality looks way better
on the E model. :(
Hi Quadcopter! I had a question, you mentioned in this video, binding a
501s transmitter to a the 502s and not getting the fpv?….. Just wondering
what would happened if you did the opposite. My dilema is, I have a 501s
with no transmitter and was looking to purchase the 502s and use it’s
transmitter for my 501s using only the one transmitter for both. Will they
bind ok? Will fpv and all other features work? Is there anyway you can test
this for me since you have all 3 quads? I’m getting ready to place this
order and would hate for it not to work. Please let me know at you’re
earliest convenience. Again this is in regards to being able to bind the
smaller 502s’s transmitter to the 501s(brushless) in hopes to have all
features available when using the 501s.
Thanks! Jay
Since this doesn’t have a gimbal, just GPS to hold it study, do you get the
jello effect in the video it records?
Hi – QUESTION??? — I am experiencing a problem with the “compass dance”
not wanting to complete compass 1. I have bound and turned at least 8 times
with no success. I am indoors close to a window. Is being indoors part of
the problem? Any suggestions?
Also, the battery life using AA Alkaline batteries is very, very short, so
I am going to make a conversion to a LiPo battery. QUESTION??? what is the
smallest LiPo would you recommend for this task? Is an 800 maH big enough?
Hi — another QUESTION?? I recently purchased my 502S using your link below
from BangGood – I paid a few $$ extra for express shipping and received it
in Europe from Hong Kong in just two (2) days. Remarkable service.
But, the unit arrived with a totally DEAD battery – 0.00 V
Have you seen this before? Any ideas how to recover this battery> or is it
just gone?
Hope you are enjoying your vacation!! I am enjoying your uploads from
Pennsylvania.
did anybody see the UFO on the sun at time 12′ 24″? the most clearly view
of UFO is time 12′ 25″.
this looks nice but does the screen in the controller actually work? if it
doesn’t I will be kinda bummed I just want to get some video and camera
footage
whats the difference between brush and brushless?
wow good info. do you think this is a good next step after my syma x5c?
does it have adjustable camera angels?
*Buy it here* , or here *from Amazon* and also here
This or the XK X300 – F?
Can the H502s do airobatics? It seems to have a fail safe that shuts the motors down when it’s upside down. Is there any way to disable the fail safe? Great Ch. Regards, Pete
Does anyone knows how to track it on google maps?. Its really a tough time when I get it 1km and far!
How much shorter do brushed motors last in comparison with brushless? I’m planning on purchasing one and will probably use it for less than half an hour once a week. Is it going to last at least a year?
With these drones do you have to be in line of sight of the drone for the controller to control the drone…
Have watch your videos and would like your recomendation of a low cost GPS Quad.
Your reviews are always good, you explain all of the products thoroughly, thanks. Your colorful shirts are a plus. How do you keep track of all of the battery storage volts. You must have quite a few of them by now.
Thanks for all your videos, I only started flying quads in September 2017, I have seen several reviews of the 502s & e that have had problems with the camera focus, did you need to adjust that on any of yours, thanks in advance Edgar
Have you tried strapping on a Firefly Q6 to this quad? This would make a good poor mans 4k camera platform since it’s gps and FPV. But I’m worried the brushed motors won’t handle the payload.
YAY ???? I wanted the h501s but it’s a little pricey thx 4 the review
how quick can you go and the follow still follows?
I have hubsan 502s and after starting, the transmitter connect automatically return home without RTH switch command, including GPS mod or manual mod. How can I solve the problem? I can use the 502e transmitter?
I wish I could show you all that lock tight on the screws ,and I had several.people tell me two of the prop screws are counter clock wise ,there is a silver set of and a black set of screws ,I can’t remember ,which screw goes counter clock wise ,on my 502 E at first I tried the screws all clock wise that didn’t work ,hubsan sent me another set that were hard to turn ,I got two in clock wise and two in counter clock wise ,I hope I didn’t screw up anything
Can I ask you a question ,did you have any problem putting on the props on the 502 S and the 502 E model ,with all that blue lock tite on them on my 502. E it took me a while ,and the direction for that one didn’t tell me about the counter clock wise screws,I though I bugger them up ,hubsan gave me another set ,it was kinda of hard ,I blame that Losey screwdriver, I since bought much better ones,kinda of afraid to fly it I keep thinking my props will fly away,now I bought the 502 S model,they forgot the screws so I am waiting on the screw,do you think I should take off some of that blue lock tite,help anyone or quad copter 101 guy.
I watched many of your videos and always find them entertaining and educational keep up the good work.
Do not buy Hubsan X4 h502s. This guad is a junk
What’s the difference between brushed and brushless motors and why are brushed a bad thing.
Also where can you buy spare batteries for this thanks
