MJX Bugs 3 Includes

If you are a serious drone flier, then you will be impressed with what the accessories that this drone comes with. This drone comes with: 1 x Manual, a Transmitter, one 7.4V 25C 1800mAh Li-Po battery, camera cage, a charger, screwdriver, spare blades, protection blade and a landing skid.

MJX Bugs 3 Camera

The MJX Bugs 3 is designed in such a way that you can mount your camera on the drone. The camera cage is fitted with vibration dampening devices to help in stabilizing the camera when taking or recording aerial footage and photos. You can attach to this drone a wide range of cameras listed but limited to C4020 Wi-Fi camera 5.8G FPV camera package (C5820 camera with 4.3″ FPV display) the 5.8G FPV camera package (C5820 camera with 7″ FPV display), MJX goggles (C5820 camera, 1 VR goggles, 7″ FPV display) and lastly the C5820 camera.

Bear in mind that this drone is not capable of lifting a 3-axis camera gimbal system, so the resultant photos and videos are not going to be stabilized.

Exceptional Battery

The Bugs 3 comes with a 7.4v 1800mAh 25C Li-poly battery that features a semi-proprietary design. Though this specification is low as compared to other drone battery specifications, the MJX Bugs 3 still has a long flight time. The drone is fitted with advanced power efficiency devices allowing the drone to fly up to a standard time of 20 minutes with its battery. The battery can charge within 240 minutes for full charge capacity.

This feature makes it the most efficient drone when it comes to energy use. We have drones costing hundreds of dollars but have a flight time that is similar to the MJX Bugs 3 drone which makes this drone the most affordable.

Flight Range

The drone has a control distance of 300 to 500 meters which is a good control range as compared with other models present in the market. Most comparable drones rarely touch a control range of the 300 meter mark.

Flight Performance

The MJX BUGS 3 boost a top motor speed of 1805 1800KV (motors) / 190mm in 18 to 20 minutes. As a pilot, the drone gives you two-speed control modes; the low and high-speed modes. The high-speed mode is an essential mode here; it allows the user to get the best from agility and performance from this drone. In this mode the drone is capable of performing a 3D flip with just a push of a button. The brushless motors make the flips tight with no sloppiness, unless you happen to be flying in windy conditions.

There is a bright white LED in the nose of the drone, which helps to establish its orientation, complementing the four LED lights under the motor arms. If you don’t need this light, you can unplug by popping off the canopy and unplugging the light.

MJX Bugs 3 Review Summary

The MJX Bugs 3 is a drone that does a reasonable job of performing as a sporty/FPV platform, as well as an aerial platform for photography, with a few additional accessories. This makes it perfect for drone pilots who want to dabble in both areas.
