  2. Question is bangood the only place that sells this drone? I’m trying to buy it and don’t k ow how trusted the website is and can’t find it on Amazon

  4. I know I'm a year behind on my shopping. This drone is advertised as having a 3,000m range, but the app geo fences at 500m. Which is it? My Bugs 2 SE is really only good for about 125m before the video crashes. Also, I didn't see this on the FAA approved RID list, any updates?

  6. Hello captain drone, and thanks for that excellent content. What about the camera?. And the video quality?.

    Whats the distance of transmision of signal to FPV?.

    Thanks.

  10. I completely agree that the MJX Bugs 18Pro is ideal for beginners even if I've never flown a drone before.
    As this is my first time flying a drone, I purchased the Mjx Bugs 18pro drone. The results are satisfactory, and I enjoy it. Perhaps the next time, I'll purchase the SJRC F22 F22S 4K PRO.

  15. Thank you for all of the great review videos. I would like to know if you have any experience with the ZLL SG906 Max 2 drone. Is this a good beginner drone?

  16. Что ты там говорил , я так и не понял, ты что не знаешь русского языка, пора учить, но не в обиду ты хороший чувак лайк однозначно. Ответь только на один вопрос- Совет , этот долг хороший , стоит ли его купить, я сравниваю с SJRS F11S, какой выбрать? Жду ответа. Спасибо

  18. Обзор не полный.3 км? ))) Не думаю.Убрали дисплей с пульта это большой минус в этом была фишки bugs…не подсветки снизу как на bugs 4w…только подвес один плюс этого дрона а так все тоже самое.

  19. bugs have always been a good flyer but in this day and age they need to up there game this version has nothing new except a re style 3000 range no chance try 300 on a good day why would anyone buy this when you can get something like the se for much the same price point it's time the bugs amongst others up the game otherwise they will go to the wall

  24. Does it have a landing light and a sensor at the bottom like at the Bugs 16? I´will buy this one, if there is a LL and a sensor. This one is cheaper and the max. range seems to be better.
    Also the quality of vids and photos is a bit better i think.
