MJX drones are becoming popular due to their great flight capabilities and friendly price tag. Currently, the MJX Bugs family has four series. Bugs 2 (B2W & B2C), Bugs 3 (B3, B3H, B3Mini & B3Pro), Bugs 5W, Bugs 8 (B8 & B8Pro) and the latest member of the family is the series 10 with Bugs 10H, which seems to be a reinvented Bugs 3.
While most of the MJX drones are capable of carrying a GoPro or similar action camera, MJX R/C is manufacturing its own compatible cameras. They have three different camera options (C4000, C5000 or C6000) for the new Bugs quadcopters. In the image below you can find the main specs for each of them.
MJX Bugs 3H drone flash sale
Type: Cruising | Skills: Beginner | Camera: 720P | FPV: 5G WiFi | Flight time: 17 minutes | Features: Altitude hold & H/L speed rates | Max flying speed: Up to 36Km/h | Package: RTF
With 31cm wheelbase, the Bugs 3H is MJX’s largest and most powerful drone. Each arm is equipped with a strong MT1806 1800KV brushless motor paired with 8A ESC.
Like usual for toy drones, the “H” letter in the name of this MJX drone means barometric air-pressure sensor. Thanks to this feature, the drone is capable to maintain autonomously its flight altitude at the desired level.
By default, the MJX B3H comes with the C5000 camera, which allows you to record aerial videos with 1080 x 720 pixels. If you need better video quality, you can replace the stock camera with a better action camera (Xiaomi, GoPro or SJcam).
At the time we announced the MJX Bugs 3H it was advertised for about $200, now, during TomTop‘s flash sale, can be ordered for only $135.99 (including free shipping).
Discount coupon for MJX Bugs 5W GPS Quadcopter
Type: GPS cruising | Skills: Beginner | Camera: 1080P | FPV: 5G WiFi | Flight time: 15 minutes | Features: GPS positioning system, Circle hovering, Follow me, Altitude hold & Headless mode | Max flying speed: Up to 60Km/h | Package: RTF
Compared to the B3H, the MJX Bugs 5W is slightly smaller, having only 25cm wheelbase. It comes with its own dedicated 1080P camera. In order to capture the best field of view, the angle of the camera can be remotely adjusted.
According to the manufacturer’s specs, the 2s 1800mAh battery allows up to 15 minutes of flight autonomy. The powerful 1500KV brushless motors allow to achieve flight speeds of up to 60 Km/h.
While the B5W’s control range is up to 500 meters, the 5G FPV range is only about 200~300 meters. IMHO FPV range can probably be extended using a 5G WiFi repeater.
If you’re eyeing a MJX R/C quadcopter as your first drone, the Bugs 5W is an excellent option. Now, using this “HY55RCMX” coupon code, can be ordered from here for $144 – this price includes duty-free shipping to EU countries.
Bottom line
While the MJX Bugs 3H is a larger entry-level drone that is able to carry action cameras, the MJX Bugs 5W is a much more compact but also a more versatile GPS-enabled quadcopter. BTW, if you like it fast, the B5W is almost twice as fast than the B3H. Both, MJX drones come with similar remote controllers with dual-antenna system.
If you ask me which is better, I would vote for the B5W. It is more easy to control, and the GPS offers a fail-safe return to home (on low battery & RC signal loss).

And again (like too often here) 5 GHz (which is used by the Bugs5 for instance) is mixed up with 5,8 Ghz. This missleading, as 5 GHz uses the smartphone and normally has a way limited range, wehereas 5.6 Gz transmitter mostly come with its own display and has a way better range.
For instance: MJX Bugs5 = 5.GHz, smartphone attached. / Hubsan501s = 5.8 GHz tran smitter with display.
Got it? Good.
sorry, my mistake :(
Can i put a GoPro in the place of the original camera on a Bugs 5w?
I’m afraid that not, the Bugs 5W is too small for larger cameras.
dude, the Bugs 5W is only for preorde! your coupon code is not working :(
