Budget Folding Drone - C - FLY OBTAIN - GPS Camera Drone - TheRcSaylors

[@steveturnblom7143]

It's easy to change modes on that. With the controller off hold the throttle off (which ever side that's on) and press and hold the button under it as you turn the controller on, presto mode changed. *Dance the Skies*

[@MJTechChannel]

Man I truly love your videos, you guys rock!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks!

[@breeze787]

I guess the Mavic will be the standard by which all foldable drones will have to compete with. DJI did a beautiful job of cramming every piece of technology hardware & software that $1000 would buy. I could not resist being a part of a technology that exudes "fun". Whether it be actually flying it to charging the batteries to understanding all of the advanced settings and calibrations required to enjoy this hobby immensely. Even the troubleshooting to understanding 'forward sensor calibrations' and gimbal adjustments add tremendously to a hobby you have to come to grips with. So what comes after this? Huh, I can't wait to find out.

[@gregg4164]

That sounds like the situation we have with RC tanks. Tamiya has a control system that lets you either drive the tanks and perform their functions with 2 sticks. Everyone has their own preference. some guys drive the tank with both sticks. I myself control all movements of the tank with one stick and have all the turret functions on the other stick. Rotation gun elevation and firing controls.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Very interesting gregg!

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Nice review as always ! Its 65 here in St Louis Outer county area today. Its 21-27 every day after the front hits here the next 5 days though. Enjoy it while we have it! Wait till these drop to 300 bucks for sure and then it would be a decent deal sounds like good advice!

[@kevinnesbitt6666]

Very impressed with the flying skills that both of you have. Working with a quad that the controls not your normal. Not a fan of this drone but they van not all be top notch. Keep up the good work!

[@Cerru5426]

The WiFi is laggy because you connected your phone to the wrong signal. There is supposed to be two signals displayed: the drone and the controller. You connect to the CONTROLLER not the drone because the radio waves travel from the controller to the drone and back. Yes, it's weird that it has both radio and WiFi on the controller but with this, you should get over 1 km with this drone. One of the antennas is for WiFi and the other is for radio. Hopefully this helped.

[@bhawnanegi7114]

Which wifi should I connect to? The drone??

[@jayrobertsager2478]

Hey! Your going to be live with Ken tonight! I will really try to be there. BTW, amazon sells a one piece gimbal/camera lock for the Mavic. It’s a must have accessory.

[@quinnjohnson4907]

i will never be able to get the Drone i want. if it was a Mavic this review is what i would expect to see. truthful, Honest,

[@JamesBjorkman]

Very interesting, glad that DJI is getting a little competition. Great video, thanks for the review!

[@TheRcSaylors]

We love seeing competition with those guys. Don't get us wrong, we like our Spark and Mavic, but some friendly competition to bring prices down never hurts the consumer!

[@james5460]

Exactly. I have an app that tracks the DJI prices on amazon - they are falling, but verrrrry slowly. That process needs to speed up. ;)

[@bzfpv5311]

If you don't need the smaller package, a Phantom 3 Standard/SE is about the same price and has a much better camera/video feed. Plus ALL the functions work great with DJI Go and Litchi. 20 min flight time and good range. Very good value!

[@TheRcSaylors]

The price on this has dropped a bit already, hitting right around $300 ;)

[@modshobs1014]

Great video guys,unfortunately the Drone doesn't fit the bill,A 30 second video lag yikes,by the time you hit rth in the afternoon the sd card will be coming back home with morning footage,lol.Keep up the good work,you guys are an awesome Rc hobby couple,God blessings.

[@TheRcSaylors]

LOL, sounds about right! Thanks for tuning in!

[@GermanDroneGuy]

I've been hoping you two do review this quad! Good work as always :)

[@pantellco1519]

Kept in back of my mind thanks

[@huevitopipihead]

Not bad at all, brushless motors ,gimbal, good battery time, only flaw is the controller.I think it's not the best but a little it is not the average you had quad! Like always, The RC Saylors are the best!

[@TheRcSaylors]

As it turns out, the transmitter can be switched over to mode 2 very easily :)

[@technickr]

16:59+ is the footage really so much blurry besides the middle or is it a compression error from KZbin?

[@str8channel]

Yea i agree.. id still rather have my spark...i got 8 bills into that package... accessories. Nice knock off though .... video... dicey

[@TheRcSaylors]

Glad you agree! We just had to check this out for ourselves :)

[@brainfreeze1499]

Another great video, it's funny watching Nate dealing with the reverse controls. Abby did awesomely.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Freez!!

[@dhansel4835]

Maybe you can assign the control sticks to the traditional settings.

[@Jefffellows]

That's a really nice price range

[@wraysmith4753]

i kind of like it but for the price for me would be at 433$ canadian , now if it was 275$ i would think about this one .. Great video Nate an Abby well done flying with the sticks on the wrong side well done !!

[@TheRcSaylors]

We hear ya! We'd like to see the price come down just a little bit more too, at least get it under $300 :)

[@alansavage9656]

Pretty good drone. Excellent video Nate & Abby!! :)

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Alan!

[@donibritts2911]

So....Still no competition to the Xiro Xplorer? Doesn't look nearly as good in any way to me...for a camera platform...for more money. What do you think?

[@MyPettawayLife]

If it’s like other equipment if you have a drone design for Europe or that far away you are getting the lag maybe because your signal is not syncing properly because of that

[@skycarl]

It's advertised at $339, with follow me, points of interest and waypoints. Did it come with directions on how to do those?

[@TheRcSaylors]

It did not. We tried to do the waypoints, but it had an error pop up each time we attempted it (near the end of our video) The price is pretty fair compared to when we picked ours up :)

[@mackerspp5784]

I love reviews like this one😄

[@harrydowall5642]

Nice vid You guys should do a preview of all of your dji drones The spark the mavic and the inspire

[@TheRcSaylors]

Like this? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3OlipZ7opqXn7s

[@yoyota]

Hi, help, I have a problem so I pressed the frequency button and now the drone does not see the control panel what should I do? I can not find information how to connect

[@sbron99]

I was attending classes at UGA today for my job, watching videos of various “non fun” work stuff, thinking it would be cool to hack the screen and put the Saylors on instead! Lol!

[@RCJOE]

Nice video guys 👍 I like this one. I like the split screen you used for comparison of quality

[@RCJOE]

Maybe comparable to the xioami 4k drone. And if the fpv every gets updated to be something better then this would be better

[@rurocking]

We are at 50° F here today in southern Ontario.

[@scottfirman]

Louis Aubé Yeah, us too! Lost alot of snow from yesterday,which is fine. We were getting buried last week. Back when I was a kid, we didnt get breaks like this. Once it started, it didnt stop till late March sometimes. We were kids,we didnt care. It just ment our snow fort lasted longer.

[@alesouza3709]

hi friend what was the flight time, because mine does not exceed 18 minutes with 10% battery, this without wind.

[@jhawk1977]

Modes can be changed between Mode 1 and Mode 2: watch?v=eFDJPP9nJZM Also, you're supposed to connect your phone to the controller WiFi for longer range. You only connect to the drone's WiFi if you're using your phone to fly it via the app. When using the dual antenna transmitter, one antenna is the WiFi relay, the other connects to the quadcopter. The way you're connected, you're only going to get about 80m of range and signal strength will be poor. Either way...it's an overpriced drone for what it does and what it can do. The camera quality is very poor when compared to other less expensive drones.

[@Cerru5426]

I said that too.

[@henryher]

Nice video I enjoyed it. Keep it up. BTW as i understand it the app allows you to reverse the controls from right handed to left handed. That may be why you had the controls reversed. it may have been set in the app to left handed mode.

[@very_good_89]

Hello, you don't show how to giveout SD card, please show it

[@carlgray4160]

Good Job Flying Abby

[@route66flyer29]

I've seen a couple of reviews six months (or more) ago on the Obtain and think this must be an upgraded model of the same name as it looks pretty much the same but preforms 100% better. I know the original was not sold and long and was complete junk whereas this one is half way decent. Of course this still needs work but now looks more like software issues. Is there a mini usb port on this that looks like it could be used to upgrade it? Anyway great review and here's hoping they fix problems. For half the price I'd be interested if they do more improvements, the first go around was a complete joke. *Dance the Skies*

[@CanadianDroneHub]

Nice honest reviews I like .

[@TheRcSaylors]

[@larrycarpel8264]

Hi Guys,thanks for the brilliant reviews.I have learnt so much.I am based in Cape Town,South Africa.We have average wind speeds of between 10MPH-20MPH throughout the year.I presume I need a drone with GPS as well as brushless motors?Its a stunning part of the world and I would like to do some aerial photography,but happy as a hobby.My only problem is that we have a weak currency and the DJI brand is vey expensive.So I watch all your reviews for a good DJI clone.Any recomendations would be most welcome....Regards Larry

[@ravibhadaniya]

Thanks for c-fly unboxing

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

For the price I would buy 4 bugs3 or a dji spark or a p3 that are so much more better. They have not yet fixed that quad. Still to many problems and chandler is still trying to work out the problems. I turned down the opportunity to review this one. They released it way to soon before they have fixed All the problems. The video and gimble still having issues. The other reviews everyone of my friends put up on KZbin had bad problems too.

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Needs to go back to China, the bugs2c with an action cam does better for a fraction of the price.

[@Itaintnutn]

Not First, but got here quick as I could. I think I will save up the Mavic. If this was 150 maybe, but its too pricey.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Close though!

[@Temmie_gaming]

I agree to expensive I would only pay up to $200 for this

[@FerralVideo]

--- HOW TO CHANGE THIS DRONE INTO MODE 2 --- This drone ships in Stick Mode 1. To place it into Mode 2, hold the left stick all the way down and the Takeoff/Land button while powering the transmitter on. You can release the controls when the transmitter beeps. -Tech commentary follows. The main critical flaw with the Obtain is that its camera's recording bitrate is extremely low. Only 1.8Mbps. Even KZbin runs nearly 10x that, and is notorious for disrupting and losing detail in busy scenes. If they can patch the camera's firmware to allow you to increase the camera bitrate, this would be a much better aircraft, especially for the money.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for this Joshua :) We were hoping there was a way to do this! Appreciate this, as without our awesome community, we would always miss something

[@DonDegidio]

The link you provided for purchases does state Mode 2 Left-hand throttle.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yeah, we may have made a mistake when we ordered ours :/

[@DonDegidio]

Well, I added it to cart, then went to checkout and nowhere does it mention a mode to select. It only mentions Mode 2 in the description. Don't think it was anything you did wrong.

[@bryanbryant9962]

Here is a demo showing switching between Mode 1 and 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3ene4OGbtN9kK8

[@microdesigns2000]

Nate and Abby?! That's my kids names, lol. Nice review.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Wow! That is pretty awesome!!

[@edwill62]

OK have seen many of your video's decided to subscribe....and question is with all the drones and planes and cars and trucks you both have reviewed , Tell us in your opinions which is the best in each category....like best beginner drone and best drone over all....same with planes-cars-trucks etc....just curious which you have reviewed has been your favorite and best of the group.

[@jasonsaez3668]

Hey Saylors, would you recommend this drone for a first timer or something more like the Bugz 3?

[@mednokfg9760]

Thanks

[@jamesmarler3939]

Good job guys 👍

[@G273Outdoors]

Great review!!!

[@the__________]

Is there not a factory reset you could use on the transmitter? My guess it has different software.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We actually very easily switched it back to Mode 2 after this video ;) A lot of people commented with a video link from the manufacturer how to reset it. We didn't know it was in Mode 1 'till we went out to fly it ;)

[@the__________]

TheRcSaylors awesomeness

[@ukausb]

By now it's around 300$,-that's close to making sense

[@nsgjay]

Can you pair the mavic controller with the smaller mavic they released for 500

[@TheRcSaylors]

Not sure, we do not have that newer Mavic :/

[@robertrosson1990]

It seems that it would be better to save a few more bucks and get a much better drone for a few dollars more and not deal with issues but that just my opinion

[@tstanisauskis]

Don't understand why these companies are trying to knock off the mavric. What's wrong with originality these days.

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

I’m late today but like always awesome vid Nate and Abbey (:

[@cesarmacareno3273]

great review.. but i didnt really like the drone.. it is way too expencive for the video quality.. the yuneec breeze4k has a way better (no gimbal) video quality.. and it costs about 300..

[@barryhuizing2804]

Thank you for sharing not too bad but not for me

[@quietmale00101]

well in my opinion DJI should be kicking a little money your way since all your reviews on this type of drone seem to inadvertently saying its worth saving up to buy the Mavic even if it is unintentional

[@TheRcSaylors]

LOL, that will never happen, but I couldn't agree more!! Haha! Sadly, we have taken a liking to DJI in the last year or so and we are always rooting for the underdog in this situation, but the Spark sort of wins over this. Yeah, it is twice the price, so you've gotta consider that as well. (with a Tx)

[@alesouza3709]

Hi friend, I have a c-fly obtain f803, I'm having problems of signal loss or interference, in low distance and altitude, about 40 high and 15 distance in average, he is returning home, giving RTH, I am flying here in my city with the radio controller, and I've flown in several places. I send several emails to c-fly company and they do not respond. I recently sent a video to the representative chandler and he told me to try to fly in a place with less interference , but I do not understand why I have 02 hubsan h501ss and h502e, and I never had this problem of signal loss or interference, I sent several emails to chandler requesting technical support, if possible change the driver channel 2.4g and it does not I still answered the emails

[@TheRcSaylors]

You really shouldn't fly in a city, ever. Don't fly around, or over people, houses, or cars. That is probably your problem.

[@alesouza3709]

Hi friend I'm going to do a test out of town to see if the problem persists, this drone can be field sensitive to external interference, because my hubsan h501ss did not give this problem.

[@alesouza3709]

obs friend I do not fly over houses and people and cars, here in my city I have an area that I can fly without risks ok.

[@TrailAesthetics]

ya.....that video is unusable with that giant purple lens flare line in the middle. on to the next one i guess.

[@NMHC1978]

They are working on a new firmware upgrade for the camera

[@TheRcSaylors]

That's awesome :-) Glad I still have mine!

[@flyingfree387]

Hi RcSaylors, thanks for sharing. Couledyou make a review of the ZD Racing 9053 1:16 brushless monster truck, i just got one, it's amazing, fast and very controllable. $93 with coupon from gearbest. I just want poeple to know how good it is, if they are thinking about getting a smaller truck that can handle any terrain it seems and most importantly, it's fun. Thanks.

[@flightpro42]

This really seems like a no-go at any price above toy grade. What good is a 3 axis gimbal when the video quality is such crap?

[@TheRcSaylors]

We wish the camera quality would be nicer on this too, and here ya loud and clear. If the camera was just a tad bit nicer, this could be a home run!

[@AboxofMonsters]

The range is terrible The tech is available to do 2.6 miles The Camera is really clear on panning but that’s the software. They tweaked it to lag so it gives more clarity If it was not lag you would see the video would be really bad no doubt. It’s not $900 But it’s not coming close to a Mavic in any way except it’s appearance. That’s a bad combo You have to have something superior Where’s the sales point price ? Your way better off with a DJI phantom standard The video is fantastic. I think it’s better then the Mavic I shoot with. If they can build the Spark with a 28 min flight battery ? Why would anyone buy anything else ? I’m surprised China does not sell extended battery knock offs . Will be a long long time before anyone copies a Mavic pro. And it would have to be less money and equal quality. The engineers at DJI must love watching with beer these mimic drones. lol

[@lalonexus30]

Can the phone be connected to the control via a USB cable?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Not that we are aware of :/

[@squaller9254]

can you use mavic props on it?

[@TheRcSaylors]

I don't think so.

[@deerwithitUwU]

That's too bad on the camera quality. I was hoping it would at least compare to the phantom 3 standard.

[@ok99okok]

very good tip , save more money to buy DJI spark .thanks

[@sirius9436]

Just get the Bebop 2

[@quinnjohnson4907]

i want the DJI Spark

[@FunkFPV]

It’s a shame that camera stinks. It seems like with all the “middle grade” camera drones you either get a decent camera or stable footage but never both.

[@TheRcSaylors]

If they would have put a slightly nicer camera in this, they could have gotten away with charging $50 - $100 more and it would have been pretty amazing!!

[@Gloveberg1]

I'm sorry but for $350-$400 the video quality should be a whole lot better than that. Like another commentor (sp?) stated I also have the Hubsan 501S and it was worth every penny however I'm always on the lookout for a reasonably price folding drone I can throw in my backpack and carry on my motorcycle in case I find interesting places to stop and explore. This however looks to be a massive fail in my book.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I agree, the price is too high, especially for the quality of camera here. We are always trying to find a good deal for everyone, which is why we grabbed one of these to feature. It's not worth the asking price, but at least someone out there is trying to be competitive with DJI. We need more budget options :)

[@Gloveberg1]

No I don't mean to say you shouldn't have demo'd it or anything like that because the specs seemed good and you never know until you fly it. It just seems like for the price it falls short. I'm thinking of getting the Hubsan H502S for my portable drone exploring needs.

[@cloroxbleach6335]

As a Mavic owner why wouldn’t you just buy a used Mavic instead of spending $500+ on this. You can get used Mavics off Facebook marketplace starting at $250. Trust me. The Mavic is worth the money. I own several Phantoms and I must say hands down the Mavic is by far the best consumer drone they make. I like my Mavic more than my Inspire 2.0. The I2 is cool but as far as simplicity of flight you’ll like the Mavic.

[@TheRcSaylors]

This looks like it's going for about $330 or so now, but I know what you mean. I also own a Mavic, and would advice a person to save their money for one, however I try to look at this and other things for what they are on their own, and not just comparing to something like a Mavic. We are lucky enough to own one, but not all people are in our situation and might Only have a few hundred bucks to spend, so they are going to get something they can afford. Our video is here to help those people decide if this is worth their money or not. Happy Flying!

[@joelrivero2296]

Not a bad looking drone but that's all it has going for it . for what it cost you can get a parrot bebop 2 the camera is better not dji quality but a lot better then that.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Would definitely go with a Bebop over this, though we had to give it a shot for that 3 axis smooth gimbal :)

[@joelrivero2296]

TheRcSaylors true the gimbal didn't look that bad. Thank you for the honest reviews. Happy flying

[@loboquad2122]

Thanks for the review, this one is NOT on the buy list here. Too much money for performance that just isn't up to par.

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Great flight time and looks very stable, but the camera is extremely grainy and the fact that this company would even mimic the Mavic only tells me this is a Made in China special for $450 ! Just junk as usual. These companies are always trying to spoon feed us a gimic with a ridiculous price. Thanks RC Saylors for the heads up.👍

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you so much for seeing this, our video, and leaving a comment with an open mind my friend :) We always get a lot of critical feedback when we do something like this and it's refreshing to know that you are appreciative of what we do. Have an awesome day my friend!

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Your Wellcome😀

[@macthesmac]

But DJI is made in China...

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Mark Curry Everything is made in China. Blame our government for that one! My main problem with all drone manufactures is that they like to follow the easy route to sell u a drone. Eliminate the controllers built in screen, provide u with a cheap app and make u use YOUR PERSONAL CELL PHONE then charge you over 1000 bucks. I think we as consumers should demand more, but we don't cause we are STUPID! 👎

[@macthesmac]

The SynDRONE Effect yeah your right, first time I picked up my transmitter i damn near threw it at my ceiling lol. My dad flew helicopters and airplanes, his Futaba controller was one heavy solid beast. It could even be used with multiple aircraft. And with the “use your phone” your right, for the longest I didn’t have a cell. Now I’m like my phone is dead after running the app and flight while I’m off in the middle of a rural field.

[@neooneeightytwo]

It's a nice drone. But they need to drop the price a bit.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Couldn't agree more Neo! It's good to hear from you!

[@neooneeightytwo]

TheRcSaylors happy new years guys! Ended up getting a spark and remote with extra battery here in canada for much less than the fly more bundle. Drone + free battery was 480$ and controller was 150$ feom bestbuy. I was unfortunately not able to resolve my xiaomi mi 4k drone problems with gearbest. PayPal did refund me my money though. Love the channel guys keep it up. 🖤

[@mrDarksand]

Oh my, what a shame, such a nice gimbal with such a poor camera. That is a real dealbreaker.

[@Xengrii]

the footage from the camera is the same as if you got a cheap toy drone and put it on a gimbal... it's awful but stabilized which can be done/improved with software, the crappy footage can't... I would buy it if it had a good camera for videos but it is really bad for the price...

[@TheRcSaylors]

Agreed. It's a real shame. They made a pretty decent drone and just "forgot" to put a good camera on it!
