Hubsan H501s - Comments

Advantages: good product

Limitations: Have tested all the functions, work very well. 1080P camera is really clear and the GPS performs good. Trust Hubsan products!

Advantages: Easy to understand and fly at least the basics then your experience may take you into more complicated flight.

Limitations: Do not learn near concrete or asphalt surface, you brake it because it has no protection even though the material is hard and durable.

Conclusions: Great entry level quad that is not a "toy" . I have had it for a few weeks and it has all the features some of the more expensive models like a phantom 3 or 4 form DJI have. Smaller and thinner profile than a DJI quad as well. Easy to fly and program out of the box. Search Youtube for the model number and you will see many 1080p videos of the quads flight. Quick learning curve and I was able to fly mine right out of the box. Although I purchased extra props , I haven't had to use them as there has not been one crash as yet.

Conclusions: I love love love this thing. Gps lock option inspires high altitude flights. Great convo starters at the park. Works with all 5.4gz fpv goggles (fatsharks, etc) picked up hobby tigers 30c lipo offering and have loaded about 10 flights. This quad can also go an "manual mode" for some snappy action. Gps lock and return to home feature makes this perhaps the best beginners quadcopter. We have used this quad for "search and rescue" missions when one of our race quads crashes and can't be recovered or seen easily. 

Conclusions: DHL lost my parcells, I contact them to make a complaint, they told me that only for the sender's request will initiate an investigation. I contact the banggood service by email. They replay me in 24 hours, and they ask me to wait 2 days and they will give me the best solution. After 2 days I contact the banggood service again, they sent me the same message to wait 2 days for best solution. I am asking a full refund, they reply to wait 2 days and do not worry. Fortunatly in meantime DHL find my parcel 

Conclusions: Ok,yes you can get it cheaper from Gear Best but who wants to wait for over a month, plus they do not even have it in stock and are taking Preorders only. The Drone is as advertised works really well, Fly's great. The Gps works like a charm. Just remember that when you calibrate the compass make sure you are calibrating it where you want to take off from. Otherwise when you hit the return to home it will land only where you first calibrated the compass and engaged the GPS. Other than that you have to calibrate the compass each time you put your battery back in after charging is kind of a hassle but takes only a few seconds. I wish they had this drone so that you would not have to do that every time. Hubsan needs to fix this. The camera is really good . Great video. I got no jello on my videos at all. So if this is your first drone with GPS get it. Its worth the money. Has GPS, Follow me and other features you will love.

Conclusions: I purchased this Drone from Amazon. Ok,yes you can get it cheaper from Gear Best but who wants to wait for over a month, plus they do not even have it in stock and are taking Preorders only.

Conclusions: This is a very nice flying drone and the video very good also, specially since there is no gimbal for the 1080p camera. But beware it took me 3-4 hours to setup this drone correctly, including firmware update to the latest on the drone and RX. Posted some pics and my onboard video I did. Brushless Motors strong, I dialed back the expert mode to 85% for now. The FPV screen is unusable in the direct sun, I made myself a nice plastic sun shade and its very easy to see now. the RX controller seems to have a small amount of play from center to any direction until you get any drone movement reaction, nothing I cant deal with. The RX takes very small movements to move the drone to ascend or descend. The blades spin fast and this drone re-acts fast not recommended for straight out beginners or younger kids.

Conclusions: First o all I bought mine at monoprice. They are like almost half the price. I'm not sure why these things are selling for 500 dollars on Amazon when gearbeast had them advertise months before they came out for under 300. Anyhow, this quad is a great buy! Ok your not gonna shoot a 360 panoramic movie of your wedding on the beach or survey the side of some high rise building but if you are an entry level holiest looking for a fun new drone or even a dedicated rc geek you will enjoy this drone It's got tons of features and it all comes in nice easy to use, easy to set up complete package.
