Another mini-review: New Firmware is now out 3/26/2016 https://www.hubsanus.com/index.php/products/index/faq/product_id/47/section/download/ (I have not updated yet)
I am no FPV pro, so take this as you will
PROs: Easy to fly! This drone is fun! I have taken the H501s out more to fly they anything else since I have gotten it. Follow mode is cool, I played around with it bit. I have crashed twice and only broken a blade. (ordered two sets already from the Hubsan)
H501s is fun to fly and feel really made well, Nice weight to it,
Cons: This drone is NOT a photography drone (like 3dr or DJI) . It has a very nice 1080p camera but it can't hold a candle to anything I have used with 2/3 axis gimbal. You may be able to smooth out the video with a post process, but I aint go time for that.
This drone is NOT a race style FPV drone Issue with FPV: which can be summed up in the camera is facing flat/straight ahead, and camera can't be tiled upward. When flying at speed you lose all vision of whats in front of your flight path.
Its like the H501s is trying to serve to masters which never works out well.
Would I recommend it? Heck yes, I really have fun with it, but if you are wanting to fly through some racing gates at high speed or get buttery smooth videos. This may not be for you.
Vids: (with youtude stabilization enabled)
