Bugs 5W: GPS, Gimbal, FPV and more…

MJX has been developing interesting new Bugs models lately. We are big fans of the upcoming Bugs 3 Pro, Bugs 3 Mini and this one, the new Bugs 5W.

The Bugs 5W looks to be a smaller GPS drone similar to the Bugs 2. Unlike the Bugs 2, the Bugs 5W looks to have a 1080p camera on a one-axis gimbal. Ths allows the pilot to operate the angle of the camera and also may stabilize the up and down shaking normally seen in fixed camera designs. The camera is viewable on your Bugs app via 5G WiFi for a live view.

The GPS signal will make the Bugs 5W a very stable quadcopter. GPS will give it the Return to Home feature. In case you lose your signal, or the battery is too low or you just want the quadcopter to come back to the takeoff point you flip a switch and it will return to the place you took off.

The Bugs 5W has 1806 1800 KV motors that make the quad both efficient and powerful. You will get a solid 15 minutes of flight time. The Bugs 5W should have a range of up to 500 meters also.

The Bugs 5W looks like it could be a winner. We will let you know what we think of it once we get our hands on one. Check back soon as we have one on the way. Until then, if you are looking for a good GPS quad then you’ll want to check out this article.
