    Need Help! New to drones

    To answer your question on extending the range. If you have some know how and a soldering iron, you can take the controller apart and add a external antenna. The internal antenna is limited in size and strength. Also once you have a external antenna adapter (usually a SMA adapter) mounted, you...

    Need Help! Bugs 3 Drone shakes violently when taking off and in air

    It sounds and looks like your bearings are gone. Check to see if there is any movement when pushing side to side on the bell housing. If they move, you will need new motors. There is a top bearing and a bottom bearing. When oiling them you will need to unscrew the motor from the arm to reach the...

    This is a RAW clip of a FPV flight test of my Firefly Q6 on the aftermarket upgrade gimbal mount for the MJX Bugs 2C. My Drone is the Mystery Stone version.

    Suggestions on my video, is this ok?

    Looks Great! You might want to adjust the frame rate on your camera down to 30fps. My camera at 60fps on 1080p also had a hard time processing the motion of leaves blowing and moving water. I use a Firefly Q6 and link it for FPV when recording flights.
