Hubsan H502S X4 FPV Quadcopter Drone GPS With 720P HD Camera 5.8Ghz Hold Altitude Headless Return To Home Follow Me

I got this for Christmas - it's my first GPS drone and I am very pleased with it. I have found the GPS and return to home features reliable and they saved me from losing the drone on a couple of occasions. It takes a couple of minutes to set up doing a compass calibration and waiting for the drone and transmitter to acquire satellites. It is very important to do this to prevent it flying away. It is very stable in GPS mode (i.e. using satellite readings to hold its position. It is more fun and faster to fly in attitude hold mode (i.e. temporarily disabling GPS) but doing this while not concentrating hard enough led me to crash it, burning out one of the motors which I had to replace (it has brushed motors). Its probably safest to keep it in GPS mode when starting. This is the only time I have crashed it and I have had it in the air quite a few times.It handles light to moderate wind quite well but I don't think I would fly it in any wind above 15mph as the flight time is significantly reduced when it has to fight the wind so its alot less fun.The flight times are quite short (8-10 minutes, like most drones I have looked at in this price range) so it's definitely worth getting quite a few extra batteries (and a balance charger to charge several at once, as they take over an hour each to charge). The satellite acquisition seems faster when swapping batteries than on the first flight of the day so this is not a huge issue for me..The box it comes in is actually quite sturdy but I have also bought a special carry case (these are available on line but not from amazon) to keep it nicely cushioned with all the accessories and would recommend this.The video quality is pretty decent, noticeably better if the light is good and there is not too much wind. It does not come with an SD card so this has to be bought separately - I got a 16G micro-sd card with an adapter to plug into my computer and this works very well.The biggest advantage of this drone (and it is a huge one) is that it is very light (150g) and so will be exempt from the new UK legal restrictions coming in on quadcopters weighing over 250, which will apply to virtually all other GPS quadcopters.I don't have any serious issues with this drone - I wish the flight time was slightly longer and it had brushed motors but to get that will have to get something like a dji drone which will be many times more expensive.

I’ve had a number of Hubsan drones over the years, starting with the 107 X4 and the H122D followed by this 502S. I have been impressed with their flying qualities and the availability of spares - built a few X4’s from scratch, which is what prompted me to buy the 502 and enter the new world of GPS positioning, altitude hold and return to home. It flies well, very stable and controllable although battery lasts at best 10-15 mins depending on what altitude you send it to - climbing really saps the battery. The video recording quality is good in daylight but really suffers at dawn or dusk. Make sure you put the micro SD card in the Drone as video datalink is poor and suffers alot of interference. Return home function is really useful if you lose sight or orientation of the drone, you flick the switch and back it comes!That said having flown this for 6 months now, although grounded over the winter, I was flying it recently and on losing sight of it in the glare I flicked the return to home switch and nothing happened. Assuming there had been a failure of this function and I needed to force it to enter the return to home mode I switched off the transmitter but haven’t seen it since. In hindsight I think one of the motors was on the way out as it wasn’t spooling up like the rest before liftoff and most likely failed, causing the drone to crash. The transmitter was still showing location and battery data from the drone so if you ever find yourself in the same position, whatever you do make sure you take a picture of the display with the drone GPS coordinates before you switch it off - this will help you locate the drone with the help of google maps. I only realised my error after I’d switched it off and lost that data!Disappointingly, on contacting Hubsan and asking if I could buy a replacement drone there response was a simply no. irritating as I had already invested in quite a few spares for mine. So if you lose your 502 for whatever reason and you can’t locate it then expect to have to buy the whole set again.

What an absolutely fabulous bit of kit. It has GPS tracking which allows it to follow the handset. It is amazing. It does what drones 4 times the price offer. Absolutely perfect for first time flyers as it is so simple. The GPS has the great advantage of it not being blown off course. It is also easy to keep track of it due to the way it is setup (called "headless display" which means that if you push the trigger away from you, you drone goes away from you, and push it to the left and the drone will fly to your left - irrelevant of which way the front of the drone/camera is facing). It basically means the drone is harder to lose. GPS coordinates of the drone appear on the handset so you can always find it. It has a home function with it whict will bring itself back to its launch point automatically if it loses control of the handset, or if the battery starts to get too low. See what the camera sees on the screen live, although the range of the drone controlls is much further than the range of the video camera feed, so the picture will break up and disappear quite a while before you loose controler's range of the Drone. Basically, if the picture starts to break up, try not to fly the drone much further away and you will always have control.

A fronte di un piccolo prezzo, il drone ha ottime caratteristiche. Un Inizialmente è po' difficile da comprendere il radiocomando, ha talmente tante funzioni che bisogna applicarsi un po', ma alla fine i risultati sono ottimi. Ottimo lo stazionamento, ottimo il return to home. Con 2 batterie la durata di volo ed il divertimento sono assicurati. La videocamera ha una qualità appena accettabile. Comunque per il poco prezzo pagato, ne sono più che soddisfatto!

Der Hubsan X4 Desire war bei der Lieferung sehr gut verpackt. Beim ersten Flugversuch stellte ich fest, dass der hintere B Motor nicht richtig funktionierte, hatte Aussetzer, laute Laufgeräusche und lief nur sporadisch.Nach der Kontaktierung des Verkäufers sicherte dieser mir zu, mir sofort eine neue Drohne zu senden. Diese erhielt ich nach drei Tagen und funktioniert einwandfrei.Der Hubsan X4 Desire ist sehr solide gebaut, wen man die Einstellungen laut Gebrauchsanleitung befolgt zeigt er ein sehr gutes Flugverhalten. Diese selber ist leider nur bedingt hilfsbereit aber es gibt ja Google! Trotzdem bin ich mit meinem Kauf sehr zufrieden auch wegen der Kunden Freundlichkeit.Ich kann dieses Produkt und den Verkäufer nur weiter empfehlen.

Très bon petit quadricoptère pour démarrer.Prise en main assez facile, par contre impératif de bien suivre la notice pour la première mise en route, notamment sur le fait de capter au minimum 6 satellites par la commande ET par le drone, sinon il ne démarrera pas ! Ensuite, tout roule.Merci au vendeur qui inclus en plus du kit standard :1 batterie pour la radiocommande (remplace les piles ou accus qui s'usent très vite)4 protection d'hélices (vraiment utile pour les premiers atterrissages !)

Es el tercer drone que tengo de esta marca. Compré este último para poder aprovechar las baterías que había comprado de más y por si acaso los anteriores eran defectuosos y había tenido mala suerte. Paso a explicaros mi experiencia con los tres, que es prácticamente la misma: los drones son prácticamente in manejables, cuando están en el aire se van hacia donde quieren, no se mantienen en el punto estáticos y se van moviendo para todos los lados, incluso habiendolos calibrados. La cámara no está mal, es como la de un móvil malo. Las baterías no duran lo que dicen, ni de lejos. Vamos que es el peor drone que he comprado. No lo recomiendo para nada.

Devo dire che sono rimasto molto contento dell'azienda produttrice, perché una volta contattati mi hanno risposto in brevissimo tempo, cosa molto rara con i produttori cinesi...Per quanto riguarda il drone non so se dire che sono rimasto soddisfatto perché ho notato che il range di copertura non è 200mt come indicato, ma io sono riuscito ad arrivare a si e no a 90mt, poi l'immagine video era scomparsa del tutto (e questo discorso vale su tutte le frequenze disponibili dal radiocomando). Ho fatto dei test sia sulla distanza che su fine batteria ed ho notato pure che il ritorno a casa avviene solo con la levetta.La video camera è integrata e quindi ovviamente risente dei movimenti del drone. Il telecomando ha la predisposizione per l'uso degli occhiali goggles, ma ancora questa funzione non l'ho potuta provare.Per il resto che dire...come passatempo il drone è fantastico, è molto scorrevole nella guida specie se si disattiva il gps.Ha una dotazione di base completa, l'unica cosa che si dovrebbe comprare come "extra" sono le batterie di riserva perché il pacco ne fornisce solo una ed ha una durata di circa 10 min. scattando qualche foto o circa 8 min. se si attiva la registrazione, il tutto in modalità gps (se si disattiva il gps arriva quasi a 12 min di solo volo).
