    Eachine EX4 review - GPS 5G WIFI FPV with 4K HD Camera 3 Axis Stable Gimbal

    That looks like a good SD card, to me. If you are good at computers, you should be able to format this 64GB card to 32GB, which should then work.

    BUGS GO APP

    Sorry cannot help but why not just stick to the MRC PRO? It works fine with my JJRC X11 (Bugs 4W) and is the recommended app. My documentation only recommends that app.

    Mini 2 vs. Hubsan Mini Pro

    I have a Mini Pro and am just getting to know it. I have a better impression so far than that given in many of the reviews. The videos should be of better quality than they are at present which I'm hoping is mainly a firmware issue. I've put a short video on YouT which might help, but please...

    OT: Multi-rotor eVTOL thoughts

    Thanks. The Wisk's progress is going to be interesting to watch. It's good to see people trying new things but I'm inclined to think that they have taken on too many innovations at once. Battery powered, autonomous, transitional flight. I hope it isn't just a 'vehicle' to gather investment. It...

    SJRC 4K PRO PROBLEMS

    Mine's a JJRC X11 4K which I think is very similar. I do find the 5GHz wifi a bit flaky although the 2.4GHz controller connection is very good. A tip, someone gave me, if you don't already do it, is to switch your 'phone to aeroplane mode then turn the wifi on, before you connect to the drone...

    Smartphone wifi vs tablet wifi.... (both 2.4g wifi)

    Ah. Houston we have a problem! (That'll teach me to make assumptions) .. but now you mention it ......

    Smartphone wifi vs tablet wifi.... (both 2.4g wifi)

    To labour the point, it might just be worth trying to see if it picks up the 5g wifi signal as mine does, and works with the older apps, although there is no mention of it supporting 80211.ac.

    Smartphone wifi vs tablet wifi.... (both 2.4g wifi)

    It might be worth trying your Tab A. The spec for my Tab A does not include 802.11ac but strangely enough, it does work fine with my older 5g wifi drone. My One Plus One 'phone, does include 802.11ac in its specs but does NOT connect to my 5g WiFi drone. (My One Plus 5 does though). Weird or what.

    Smartphone wifi vs tablet wifi.... (both 2.4g wifi)

    I should have been more specific. Don't most new drones require 802.11ac that means operating in the 5g WiFi band?

    Smartphone wifi vs tablet wifi.... (both 2.4g wifi)

    I use a TabA with my JJR/C X11 (Bugs 4) and a One Plus 5 smart 'phone, but both at 5.8GHz. I haven't noticed any difference in range but the Tab A is easier to view as it has a bigger screen, of course. However, mine uses 'droid 4.4.2. and is not easy to update as this TabA was a bargain Nook...

    NEW 2 QUADS

    One important use of GPS is that many GPS drones have a Return to Home (RTH) feature, that kicks in if the drone looses the controller signal, on demand, or the battery is getting low. Having lost one drone to a "Flyaway", RTH is a feature that is a 'must-have' for me. I have found optical...

    NEW 2 QUADS

    It also depends upon what you want to achieve with the drone, ie video and photography might have you looking for a 4K camera option. I'm also assuming that, wherever you are, you don't have a 250gm take off weight limitation. If it is just for low level fun flying, then maybe a CineWhoop type...

    UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Drone Regulations

    The CAA has issued a June 2020 update to its CAP 1789 -The EU UAS Regulation Package at CAP1789 June 2020 As a mere hobbyist, I find the regulations unclear in respect drones over 250gm but less than 25kg. On Page 48 is a useful table that seems to suggest that I can continue to fly my...

    Connection problems with JJRC X12

    controller to drone connection

    I have a JJRC X11 (Bugs 4W) and have had problems connecting to an Android 'phone (OnePlus 5). The WiFi connects but the app wont. This got worse after I upgraded to a 4K camera, for some reason. The MRC PRO app proved to be a little better, but not much. I tried all sorts of things, restarting...

    New to forum, new to "real" drones, looking to increase range.

    Normally 110m, but depends upon what I'm doing. I'm only allowed up to 120m in the UK.

    New to forum, new to "real" drones, looking to increase range.

    I would. Modern plastic glues can make a very strong bond. I glued an arm back together on my X11, before purchasing a new one. It worked perfectly well and felt like a very strong bond. I broke the arm by holding my drone, whilst it was operating, so it fought against me, trying to stablise...

    New to forum, new to "real" drones, looking to increase range.

    The camera upgrade was a direct X11/Bugs 4W replacement from rc spares but does include a little software stabilisation, which is helpful. As I was flying with an under slung camera, which was now not necessary, flight time has increased to a little over 15 minutes but my film shots don't...

    New to forum, new to "real" drones, looking to increase range.

    I've had the X11 since November and use it mainly for videos. I used to sling an action cam underneath but with the 4K camera upgrade, that is no longer necessary. I broke an arm in one crash (totally my fault) so had to take it apart to replace the arm and the camera. I was impressed with the...

    Mjx Bugs 5w 2k/4k

    I have a Bugs 4W (JJRC X11). It would appear that the 5W uses the identical controller. For what its worth, my drone works fine without the phone, takes video, photos, etc: but you do loose some functionality, of course. I would think that the 5W functions the same, but, hopefully, someone else...
