    MJX Bugs 6

    I'm a fan of MJX, but not sure about this one. I guess time will tell.

    I finally got a free drone to review. Garbage!

    I have an SJ5000x and man...best $129 I ever spent.

    Thumbs, Pinch, or Hybrid?

    Sweet mother of God.... I don't think that's a "hobby" any more!

    Happymodel Toad 90

    The Toad90 is made by Furibee I believe. That may make it easier to find manual and videos.

    MJX Bugs 6

    They do for sure. My concern with the 8 is how well it will fly in acro mode. Not compatible with Betaflight so you can't tune it. And no way that quad gets 12 minutes on a 3s 1300mah battery. I fly my Bugs 3 on 3S batteries (1806 motors) and get about 12-14 minutes on a 2700mah battery without...

    How to Dispose LiPo Batteries

    You can completely discharge the rest of the way by submerging them in salt water for 24-48 hours .

    Ordered a bugs 3

    That was my original plan, but a friend who has done a ton of mods on the Bugs 3 (including testing multiple camera and vtx combinations) insists you get much less video noise if you power directly from the battery.

    Around Sussex, short movie with timelapses anddrone footage (Phantom 4 Pro)

    I'm torn on this one. Wow, how you managed to capture the many faces of England, old and new. Love the concept, and you got so many parts of it right. The editing needs a lot of work (from the viewer perspective, I know bupkus about video production), but the concept was spot on and I enjoyed...

    New WiFi RC mini Drone with 2.0 MP HD camera

    I would suggest sending a few units to well-known and respected reviewers. Unbranded quadcopters with pretty much standard features aren't likely to generate much in the way of sales given the range of options available in the market.

    Hubsan X4 FPV flaky video

    If it's that new, why spend your time trying to trouble-shoot? I would suggest returning to the vendor for a replacement. Hubsan s are generally pretty solid, so a replacement should cure your situation.

    Complete Drone Newbie after some advice

    I haven't done business with this seller, but you can (if you are patient and shop) get a roughly similar price sometimes from Banggood and Gearbest and once in a while from Amazon if you watch Vipon.com. I would suggest this quad, and your GoPro should fit fine in the included camera mount...

    SkyRC imax B6AC v2 and a Battery Question

    That's a micro Losi connection. Best bet is to buy something like this, because it will connect to the red JST-RCY connector that does come with the B6AC...

    An antenna warning???

    Ordered a bugs 3

    I think that means your camera is actually a C5820. See what I mean about even the sellers not always knowing the difference? Glad you are having fun with it - that's a great quad. I've been spending money like a drunken sailor lately, so once the financial effects of a new laptop and a few...

    Illegal to Fly Over My Neighbor's Back Yard?

    I agree that common sense and common courtesy have to apply here. If someone is hovering 30 feet over his neighbor's backyard pool, he should expect well-justified outrage. My point was that the California legislature regulated something they have no regulatory authority over. The Golden Rule...

    Illegal to Fly Over My Neighbor's Back Yard?

    This was passed as a sort of futile gesture to please an angry constituent a while back. As you probably already know as an attorney, there is a big difference between a tort and a crime. This isn't a criminal statute. As far as I can determine, no civil action has been brought under this...
