Gearbest has a flash sale on this for $75. Get it before they’re gone
what about the spare parts? I’m considering this one as my first drone to
buy so i do not know how it works. I haven’t seen spare parts are being
sold. Is it possible to use replacment blades from some other model if
these break?
That FPV has a lot of lag. 🙁 Is it really 5.8GHz?
Is there any way to change the channels on the downlink?
How do you calibrate the compass?
hey you make nice videos thank you for that but can you please fix the mic
you using I’m not the only one who mentioned best regards!!
Someone stole your video Toonz : “JXD 509G Drone easy beginners fpv
flying”…
How fast is it???
what motors and batteries from other quadcopter that can use to jxd 509 ?
I’m considering getting one of these quads, my only concern being
replacement parts, as I have not seen any. Can you use replacement
propellers and motors made for other quads for the 509g? If so, please tell
me which ones. Thanks and keep on making the good vids?
it doesn’t seem too fast. Did you go top speed in this video demo?
+Quadcopter 101 – question: Any idea of whether the Syma 5.8Ghz add-on FPV
rig will plug and play with the 509 series? Randall Houston is getting the
Syma 5.8Ghz FPV add-on but it hasn’t arrived yet. But I think you got one
of these add-on systems, no?
I’m debating over just buying the 509G which includes the FPV system or
buying the 509V and using the aftermarket Syma 5.8Ghz FPV add-on.
They say it’s hard to bind to the tx and also hard to get down from high
alt?? Did you find any of this ?wish there was more videos on this one.
Thanks for your help?
So what would you recommend to get a FPV Quadcopter under 150$ ?
This or a Syma 5xc with an aftermarket FPV transmitter/receiver ?
And how does the JXD 509G compete against the SYMA X8W ?
Great video, love your in-depth tests! How do you think this compares to
the WLtoys Q212G? It also has altitude hold. Which one do you prefer? It
seems as if the FPV link on the 212 cuts out less and there are fewer
vibrations?
When you playback the video shot by the copter , on your pc, does it look
exactly like what i am seeing in the transmitter screen? I want a copter
around this price that takes great video..
do they all die this fast? I was hoping for longer battery life, like if
they used a cell phone battery it would probably last longer
i can never get your links to work
+Quadcopter 101 I just ordered from Gearbest and one thing came to my head,
I saw a couple of videos about Gearbest and their refund system. If you
don’t take assurance you will receive half of the money or you will have to
pay 15$ to ship it back and receive a new one 😮 Do you trust them?
would a 5.8ghz cloverleaf antenna help the fpv image? seems like its
scratchy even at short distances… if so would it be the SMA or RP-SMA
antenna…. so confusing :)
when are you going to do another vid of this thing doing funnels and flips
and show its yaw rate ?? and can the antenna on the FPV be switched out to
say something like a fat shark antenna on the monitor?
which one would you say is better jxd 509g or wl686g
thia or the wltoys q222g
send it back early days
How to remove the “jello” effect from this quad?
I have just received this quad. having a great time. how do u adjust the
cam angle ???
BTW, u r one of my favorite reviewers of quads. thanks for all the great
reviews
