MJX Bugs 20 EIS 4K Electronic Stabilized Drone Flight Test Review
Finally a high resolution brushless drone with a built-in processor for electronic image stabilization. No mechanical gimbal is needed. Records 4K video at 30fps, or 1080p at 60fps. Coming soon to most vendors. Pros - True 4K video camera with 30 fps frame rate. Also can record 1080p video at 60 fps. - Dedicated onboard processor for electronic image stabilization. Works reasonably well to stabilize video without the need for a mechanical gyro stabilized gimbal. - GPS for stable hovering and automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, and low battery. Low battery brings the drone to hover over the takeoff point, but will allow further flight within 100 meters of takeoff point until battery depletion (at which point it lands wherever it's at). - Optical flow sensor for automatic hovering indoors, or outdoors if so desired. - Brushless 2204 1620KV motors. - 7.6V 3400mah provides over 22 minutes of flight time (I got 22 minutes 46 seconds). - FPV range of up to 450 meters, and controller range of up to 600 meters. - Real time FPV video is availale through your phone using the "M RC Pro" app available on Google Play here http://bit.ly/Bugs20 or for iOS here https://apple.co/2YhkJV9 - App also provides advanced capabilities of follow me, orbit position, waypoints, and headless mode. App also enables modifications of video and photo settings including resolution, brightness, saturation, special effects, ISO, and white balance. - Drone can be flown without the app using just the controller if desired. Controller includes telemetry information screen providing drone and controller signal strength, remaining battery power, drone distance and height, GPS status, flight rate, and controller mode. Controller also provides buttons for automatic takeoff and landing, lights, camera pitch, photo and video shutter, return to home, arm and disarm motors, and GPS on or off. Cons - The app requires use of a phone with 802.11ac WiFi. Before purchasing, use Google to verify that your phone does indeed have 802.11ac WiFi (not everybody has such on their phone). - The drone's low rate is very slow inboth horizontal speed and yaw (turning) rate. The intent is to aid processor image stabilization. - Requires using at least a Class 10 SD card for 1080p 60 fps video, and at least a U3 SD card for 4K video. Expect severe frame dropping if you attempt to use a slower speed card. - Weighs more than 250 grams. Requires registration in most countries. (MJX, for your next challenge... Make a drone with EIS that records to SD card, and still weighs less than 250 grams). Affiliate links: At no cost to you, I do receive a small commission for sales resulting from these links.
