Drone that returned home

Luckily I had a previous controller from a previous similar drone that took off and was lost. So this drone without remote control and charger was exactly what I needed. As soon as I connected the drone to the controller, it responded as intended. Many Thanks

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

This is a great drone

Love this drone. I have had 2 of these drones and would buy a 3rd if I needed one cheap and they fly very far with a controller a pro controller which I own as a great drone

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Quality

Altitude and xy position are held by GPS. View telemetry on screen. It's hard to beat the price of all of these components, even if you build your own. Essentially tie and fly. Pretty quiet drone and powerful. Relatively fast if you disable GPS mode. Don't forget to order the battery and micro SD card and bind them to the controller (you'll need one of those, of course).

Pros
  • Have fun
Cons
  • Little maintainability

Great drone, I have ordered 4 of these in the last 3 years. The last H501 I bought had a bad curcit speed controller controlling 1 of 4 motors so it never works. I sent it back 3 weeks ago with the label printed out and am checking my return status. It says "Refund will be sent when we receive the drone." Shipping by UPS, what is the delay? Why didn't Revan get it? Hope this isn't a scam.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Frequency

An economical replacement if my original drone was eaten alive.

Very good replacement for my original drone (same model) which was eaten by a tree. Paired instantly with my original controller. There were some software updates. I rarely have to calibrate the compass before flying - this was a must on my original drone. The same non-existent support. The exchange works great, but support never responded to my compass calibration request. I love my Hubsan H501SS X4 and recommend it.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Appearance

Buy from Mithla, they do well when the manufacturer fails.

These are great drones for beginners and advanced users. solid construction compared to flimsy others in its price range. Love them but the QC seems to be missing but trust Mifly to take care of this since July when I bought it. I contacted Hubsan but didn't get much response. mifly quickly took care of my problem. I love flying this thing. The only thing I would like is longer battery life. While on point for 18-20 minutes, it's not in altitude mode, it's in GPS mode.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • A few little things

My first quadrocopter

This is my very first quadrocopter. This is a very awesome quad for beginners. Very easy to fly and learn. The camera produces excellent images and videos. All functions work great. Follow me mode works great. Just remember that he sees trees and lampposts. So be careful where you go. I also took out these 850 mitters. Never lost a signal. Rolled over on the way home and immediately returned to the starting point. So if you're ever confused as to where you are. Just flip the switch. Headless…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Functionality

3ea H501SS X4 Pro BNF with 1 H906A Transmitter - Excellent

AS (PROS) - Verified range over 1/2 mile (805 meters) - Verified speed without GPS over 30 mph (15 m/s) - Confirmed Possible flight time of 15 minutes - The controller uses a rechargeable battery that allows multiple flights between charges. - Customer service was/remains excellent. DISCUSSION: It should be noted that the first two units broke during my flight training. The 1st device crashed many times until finally the quad core case broke. The second block was hit by a tractor. Two broken…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Modern

Decided to add this first. This drone is VERY picky when it comes to SD card selection. I have LOTS of SD cards of different speeds and most didn't work at all and the ones that worked produced very choppy videos. Terrible. What worked was the Sandisk Extreme Plus MicroSDHC 32GB. This is a Tier 3 card with a drone icon. Format the card as FAT32. Whenever I move a map from the drone to my desktop computer, it always wants to scan and restore it. These are windows. Let him do it - everything will

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Useless features
