I’m surprised that these companies get away with what they claim. I get asked by so many people what to buy. I just say you get what you pay for and I recommend DJI.

    Steve, here in the United States, The F.A.A. does require all drones being used for commercial purposes, ( Real Estate, Construction, etc...) even drones under 250 grams to be registered and the pilots must have completed the Part 107 certification. I received this information directly from a contact at the F.A.A.. After years of watching your channel I think I have decided on the Mini 2 FE. I don't need many features, just a good camera platform to take photos of construction sites for Architectural work and for checking roofs of existing buildings. It will be interesting to see how the remote ID program will affect the drones under 150 grams. Thanks for all the great content and thanks again for the stickers!

    My first drone was a Cheerson CX-20. I modified that thing to the max. When I ran out of room on the stock body I moved everything over to an S500 frame and flew it until I scraped it for parts for a hexacopter - which now sits on a shelf in my hobby room.

    After having a few of the cheaper drones the things that I would like to have the most are brushless motors that drive the props directly because the gears burn up on the cheap ones and after that they get added to the pile of other junk drones. I also like obstacle avoidance,but I am not that particular about the camera and I found that when I first started flying them I flew lower than I should have to operate them safely. Even the cheapest ones that I had were able to fly much higher than I usually did.

No glitches or problems. Battery will give out at 16 min 40 sec. Battery is 3S. All this for about 149.00 us. It's awesome. Flys super fast, but no, that zero, bells and whistles. No nouthin.

  • @camdix3250
    @camdix3250 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's nice to see attention paid to a non-camera drone. At 66, I'm old and grew up loving R/C airplanes. However, I never had much luck with them. Since I enjoy just watching from the ground whatever model is flying, I don't feel the need for FPV or other camera drones. I'm sure I don't know what I'm missing, but that's me. I got the Holy Stone HS210 and I LOVE it! (The one in this video is the HS450.) I also have the Holytone HT02 and I LOVE it as well. Man, is the HT02 ever tiny!! Both of these WILL fly outdoors if it is dead calm. If there is a tiny breeze, flying them on the highest speed setting will compensate. Indoors on the highest speed setting, oh man they really move! Neither of these has a camera but they are very inexpensive. I also live in Canada and got them from Amazon here in Canada. It boggles my mind that both of these have trim functions, so you can fine-tune them to hover in one spot. They have altitude hold, so if you simply let go of the joysticks, the drones will stop and hover in place. I can't say enough about both of these. If you want something to fly and don't need to have a camera, either one is great. Yes, they are "toy" drones, but this big kid is smitten. Also just want to say that I have no connection to the companies nor am I sponsored in any way. I'm just a satsfied customer. Best wishes to all.

    What do you think of the Eachine/Domibot EX5 Pro? It seems to have great range (5km), gimbal and EIS, 4k camera, 25 minutes flight time, and it is often sold for $100-130. Footage I've seen from it is very impressive anyway. I've been trying to get one but nowhere in the world has them in stock and the prices have risen a lot on them, looks like it could be discontinued.
    I'm currently planning to buy the cfly faith mini based on your review of it, as it's on sale for €155 and is only slightly worse than the EX5 Pro

    Here in Holland you do not need papers if it's lighter than 250 grams, but if it has a camera... yep, you need a certificate and needs a registration with the RDW being a pilot (LOL).
    The certifications are very easy to get. I have the A1 & A3 plus the A2. That was about 200 euro and took about a couple of days studying. Makes life easier having all those papers.
    I have a cheap one, very fun to fly with... only battery are small. And a bigger one, I have still to start flying with, that looks like better.

    pretty amazing how far drone tech has come. I mean for 38$ you can get something that is actually usable.

    As a UAS pilot that started off as a hobbyist, and initially purchased the DJI Mini 2 , these requirements infuriated me , of course everyone wants to get familiar with a drone and be pro over night. However it honestly takes a few crashes and courses to perfect the drone flying skill set , and even then there is always room for improvement … it’s like asking the salesman at Ferrari to sell you the car for the price of a Honda (no offense) you just gotta pay to play, and thus spending a few hundred dollars vs $50-$100 will get you much further along , and in reality will definitely outlast your learning curve before you can go and make a bigger purchase , once again I started on a dji Mini 2 and still find myself throwing it in my travel bag for quick trips sure it’s not my Cine 3 or even my DJI FPV drone but it honestly just works… these cheaper drones will definitely bore you in a matter of weeks as you outgrow the bad camera and sloppy flight. If you didn’t pick that up from @dronecaptain trust me it’s worth the initial investment , and he’ll you can even find ready to fly FPVs that have RTH functionality , for less then $600 these days. Many can be bought from the $350-$500 price point. Do your research and fork up a few more dollars and I can guarantee you it’ll be a hobby that you stick with for much longer then that cheaper drone option will last you.

    I've watched a few of your videos and I think they're darn good. I'm laughing cuz I spent too much for a toy like the Gool you bought. $60 because stupid me believed what they said. In reality mine is probably a no name version of the gool. The camera is zoomed in too far like yours and you aren't kidding that it won't hold still. Also Oklahoma is kinda known for wind which it can't deal with AT ALL. It takes all my concentration to get it to fly in anything resembling a controlled manner. Wish I had seen this video first. So, I now have a DJI Mini 2 on the way that should actually perform. Your Air 2s video made me want one but for my purposes I couldn't justify paying twice the price.
    Again, love your videos and am using way too much satellite internet data to watch more. Thanks and keep it up!

    Cool video , i just bought my first drone for cheap .E88 , iit flies good or as good as i can fly it , camera is weak , flies forrr about 7 minutes or so. I figure its a good learning how to fly one and if i enjoy it ,i will spring for a nicer one. I actually do enjoy learning how to fly it . For a novice works for now. Thanks for the video , i lnow next to nothing about drones , this video clears up a lot of questions for me , thanks.👍👍

    I need a drone for sending lures for fishing at sea shores The important function required are it can fly to about 300m range, strong against wind, RTH, decent payload capacity (300 grams minimum) and decent battery life. Camera is not compulsory. And cheap enough so that I won't feel bad if it tumbles into the sea. 😅. What is your recommendation?

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Nothing really. Either you buy a fishing drone or you destroy the drone you bought for a few hundred dollars. See if you can find a DJI Phantom 3 used, then modify the heck out of it.

    I used to buy the little mini Hubsan's to tinker with indoors when I wasn't flying the Phantoms and Mavics. Didnt realize they were bought out. I got out of it for a few years and wondered why Amazon didnt sell the Husban line any longer. Interesting.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798

    A much needed video in 2023.
    Tech got better but the best quality is still gonna be at least 300$
    BTW the market for dji (quality) is so crazy that even a broken drone will be like 200 bucks... I know because that's how I got a spare... fixed what I could and then sent it to dji to fix the rest for around 300 in total
    And also now that you made people aware of this it will sell out and get closer to 100 dollars over time

    Barely got into drones. I bought one for around $130-$150. It's not the greatest. Lacks a lot of features. It's 4k. But has a very limited range, and slightest object in the way will start lagging the connection. But I know what I paid for. I didn't buy the highest end drone. Nor did I think it's a good idea to do so right off the bat. I am now saving up for the Autel Evo Nano+. As it honestly seems like one of the best options for a drone. While not hitting the $1000 mark. I think I saw them on sale for around $600. But I can't imagine wanting to use a drone for your business', but only wanting to spend around $100.
    We have a nonprofit tv/recording business. They aren't big at all as our town isn't big. But they tend to do the filming for businesses adds. They don't use it too much. But they have a drone that is around $20,000. I think it's an Dji Inspire or something like it. It's insane, and they rarely take it out since only one person is allowed to use it. You don't need to send $20,000 on a drone. But at least think about representing your business, and don't go cheap.

    For £100 I have a stripped down second hand Parrot Bebop2. With an XT60 soldered in so I can run a 30min battery. It is really high quality 1080p and can go to 2km away with GPS return to home. It's fun. Flying $1000 dollars worth isn't fun if it doesn't come back.

    One avenue you did not mention is Ebay. Having destroyed my first 2, at $40 ea, I was able to get a new Bugs 2SE for $60 including shipping. It is a much easier drone to fly, I choose the bugs by watching your 3 year old ratings for moderate, 200-400, and I shopped for used ones. I just happened to find a new, never used one. Being so old, I was the only bidder!

    As a person who's been flying drones for 15 minutes before the battery died. My first question is... Do the propellers have protectors? What resolution does the camera have? How long does the battery last, and i was told no matter what... you're going to crash!!!! $30 drone is so much fun because I've crashed it 6 times, and it's still working!!! Also I attached my 4k web camera to it because it only came with a 720p. I want to build my own drone from scratch. Do you have any suggestions on where to start?

    Wasn't in the market for a real drone last summer, but I'd moved into a hillside house and wanted to see if a cheapo $50 one could manage just a bit of low-def footage of the hillside and sides of the house. Not even a chance. I did avoid hitting any cars as it careened hundreds of feet within a few seconds of launch, spinning wildly (this is after trimming indoors -- it cannot handle a whisper of breeze), so there's that.
    Kinda wish I had my ancient AR Drone from 2013 ($300 then), which is the quality level I was hoping had reached the sub-$100 market at this point, and which absolutely would have been able to do the light ask I needed without flying into traffic. Which makes me think there's no "just a stable drone to fly and not take anybody's eye out" like the AR and others filled is a massive gap in the market now.

    I have a small under 100usd drone. Is it a DJi mini? No. Does it cost what a mini cost? No. Is it a lot of fun and a good gateway into the hobby? Yes.
