    My New Favorite Drone
    5 Stars
    My New Favorite Drone
    I have been playing with drones for about 2 years. I started with a couple of JJRC H8C's. First one got stuck in a tree (and finally fell down about a year later) and so I ordered another. But after a while I got tired of replacing brushed motors. Motors were cheap but replacement was a pain. I then bought a DJI Phantom Standard. It is beautifully built and flies wonderfully. I also have some mini indoor drones.I wanted something with brushless motors, which are many times more powerful and reliable than brushed motors, that I could fly indoors or outdoors. It's been 1.5 years since I bought the Phantom and drones have progressed greatly in that time . I eventually came around to the Bugs 3 Mini (yes, I know this is not the Mini, more on that below). It had good reviews and most importantly it seemed to have a lot of support from aftermarket, dealers and especially the drone forums. I also wanted to buy it in the US and not from China because of probable delays in support if I needed it.I found Drocon because their price was the best. It arrived 2 days later on Saturday even though I chose Free Shipping. Packaging was sturdy and the drone box itself could be used as a carrying case (if you remove the props) The Bugs 3 Drone is nicely made. It was little over 1/2 the size of my Phantom which surprised me. I did not realize it was not the Mini. It is lightweight but solidly assembled. It flies so smoothly. The motors are powerful and as nice as those on the Phantom. I have come to realize that the motors are a very important consideration in terms of performance and reliability.Now, this is a FPV hobby racing drone and this version only has 6 axis gyro stabilization. If you have no experience with drones, I think you could still fly this as long as you start slow. The controls have a low speed and high speed response setting. No GPS, no compass, and no altitude hold ( I kinda wish I had that but as I get better, I am enjoying the challenge). Unlike the DJI, if you let go of the controls, the drone will start drifting with any wind and change altitude. You must fly it all the time, but again, it is exciting, especially compared to the Phantom.And also compared to the Phantom or H8C, it is FAST. Better have a big field if you want to explore all it's capabilities. But around my backyard, I can fly it slowly and smoothly. Control is very precise. After a while, I noticed the motors started sounding a little uneven. I contacted Drocon thru the chat box on their website. I spoke with Dianne who answered immediately. I explained the situation and they had me run drone without propellers. It ran smoothly. They asked me if I could send a video and so a couple of days later after rain, I could try.Motors made same uneven sound and hovering I could see it was vibrating. Could it be propellers? I changed to the second set that comes with the drone and it seemed to fly good again. I examined the propellers and sure enough the tip of one was slightly bent. It looked like a manufacturing defect. I got back on Drocon's website and opened chatbox. This time I spoke with Ellaine. She immediately had all the info from previous conversation. I explained that problem was probably the propeller as it seemed to be flying okay with new ones. I sent pictures of the blade and while they examined them, I was working on editing the video they had requested expecting to have to buy another backup set of propellers. I was sure they would think I crashed it.Instead, after 5 minutes or so, they came back and said they were going to send me a whole new drone and to keep the old one for parts. WHAA? I could not believe it. I am ecstatic.To finish, as I was searching online for reasons the flying seemed to be getting unstable, I came to realize I had actually purchased the Bugs 3 and not the Bugs 3 Mini, they look so much a like. The price of the Mini was actually higher than the regular Bugs 3. I am so glad I got the Bugs 3. I am going to be getting the FPV camera and viewing screen soon, but it is a blast even without it. I am also going to be getting a Mini because these are made so nice. It is hard to believe the price of these is under $100 (base price without FPV). It is less than twice the price of the H8C which is a flimsy toy with toy motors compared to the Bugs 3. And I am going to be buying from Drocon from now on.
