If there is a device that has the potential become a best seller of 2018 - The Bugs 3 Mini ticks all of the boxes :-)
Unboxing:
The package is a slight step up from the previous drones – the cardboard quality is the same, but on the inside the space is used in much more efficient way and the packing doesn’t look that bulky.
I love the approach that MJX are having here – because most of the people read the user manual after they crash or damage something, there is this tutorial included explaining the function of every single button. Even if you don’t carry the full guide with yourself – you can always refer to this micro-guide.
If you’ve never flown Acro mode – don’t even think about trying it before reading and understanding how it operates!
Size and features
We carry on with the unboxing process and we can see the Bugs 3 Mini now – surprisingly small – just 22 by 22 centimeters.
The remote controller has a new design. You likely remember that there were a lot of similarities between last years models – the bugs 2, 3 and 6. And over here the design is upgraded. Clearly a toy-grade transmitter – do not forget that the bugs 3 is designed to be affordable and entry level, despite the fancy look it has.
The battery is 2-cell, operating at 7.4 volts and 840Mah capacity. I am happy to say that when I was testing the battery life it was considerably longer than what the test samples were showing and had close to 10 minutes with extra 60 grams payload added by the camera attached.
The frame used here is made out of the same material as the one on the Bugs 3. Be careful and do not push it to the limits because it easily breaks.
Motors used are brushless with rating of 2750KV.
Under the top cover we can see a very well designed internals, we express the disappointment of having all ESCs on the same board, and it is good to see the beeper again! This was used for the first time with the bugs 6 and thanks to it I was able to find my drone after losing range.
The board has a connector for quick FPV mod. Originally it is used to power on the front super bright LEDs but as you can see – mounting an All-in-one module is quite easy.
Tested the B3 Mini in gyro mode – it feels good, and seems to be way faster than its bigger brother and a little faster than the bugs 6. Despite the small size the drone remains well visible, and unlike the old bugs 3 – there were zero problems with the signal.
The manufacturer suggests control range of 300 meters and I am of course going to find out what the actual limit is.
Battery life is around 10 minutes. If you are not too aggressive you can go beyond that value. The drone easily lifted the Ffirefly Q6 and was flying without any complications. And with the added payload of 60 grams the battery lasted for around 8 minutes until it was completely discharged.
This drone was the reason for my first encounter with Acro mode – if I knew it is that much fun, I would have done it earlier. You won’t see any flips here because I still don’t feel confident enough to do that with a non-protected camera, but who knows – maybe soon.
Keep in mind that you cannot switch to Acro mode during flight – you need to land, power cycle and then change the mode.
FLY RESPONSIBLY!
