MJX Bugs 3 Quadcopter With Brushless Motors

Hi all!

More recent­ly, there was an excel­lent review of the MJX Bugs 6 quad­copter, I could not resist and sug­gest look­ing at a small review of the younger mod­el MJX Bugs 3.

This is a great entry-lev­el machine with brush­less motors, the most bud­get-friend­ly avail­able. Buy

The device is inter­est­ing, from a good com­pa­ny MJX, the design pro­vides for the instal­la­tion of a gim­bal with a cam­era and FPV equip­ment. The cheap pack­age does not have a cam­era or FPV, only a frame for mount­ing the cam­era.

The box is large, styl­ized (the man­u­fac­tur­er achieves sim­i­lar­i­ty with the “bee­tles”, there are even stick­ers with the Bugs logo in the kit)

The kit is pack­aged in the cells of a foam box. Every­thing is in its place.

Appear­ance is quite aggres­sive. In the front there is a bright lantern.

In the box, the quadric is with the blades removed, before fly­ing it needs to be assem­bled (install the blades).

On the bot­tom there are “legs”, a back­light and a bat­tery.

Bat­tery in case, with XT60 con­nec­tors and bal­anc­ing.

If desired, you can buy bat­ter­ies sep­a­rate­ly (1800 mAh, 7.4V, 25C).

Or make it your­self (just buy a 2S cell for 1800…2200 mAh)

The kit includes spare blades, extend­ed stands (for use in tan­dem with the cam­era) and blade pro­tec­tion.

The blades are large, almost 20 cm. A pair of “A” and a pair of “B” types, dif­fer in the direc­tion of rota­tion

Extend­ed racks

Blade pro­tec­tion. All acces­sories come with fas­ten­ers.

I do not install either one or the oth­er for flights, as the size and flight weight of the copter increas­es

Action cam­era frame includ­ed. You can install your own cam­era.

The remote is clas­sic and com­fort­able.

There are 4 but­tons on the top (cam­era con­trol, pow­er on, etc.). Every­thing is described in detail in the instruc­tions.

The high­light of this quad­copter is brush­less motors that pro­vide increased pow­er and throt­tle response of the quad­copter

Motors and blades marked (A/B)

The pow­er­ful brains of the copter are hid­den under the cov­er of the case — an ARM-based flight con­troller

Sev­er­al pho­tos of out­door flights.

I note that due to the specifics of the con­trol, when land­ing, the engines do not turn off imme­di­ate­ly.

In gen­er­al, the copter copes well with every­thing that falls to its lot — snow, wind, etc.

Fly­ing on b / c motors is a plea­sure.

With the cam­era, the flight is not so dynam­ic, but there is enough pow­er reserve for com­fort­able con­trol.

A small video, one of the first, I got used to the copter, plus a video from a height on a sim­ple cam­era.

In gen­er­al, the MJX BUGS 3 quad­copter turned out to be con­ve­nient for learn­ing and for the first sen­sa­tions from brush­less motors. The quadric is pow­er­ful, torquey, allows you to do what oth­ers can not do. It has vir­tu­al­ly no com­peti­tors in its price range.
