[@donscrilla7171]

Your budget drone reviews are my favorite part of the channel. Hopefully there's more to come soon

[@shb7772000if]

When it lost signal, it should of hovered in place, or returned to home. Not crashed into the ground. Good thing you discovered this.

[@PlatypusVomit]

Yep. Pretty much every drone that comes with that controller has poop level software and can't be trusted. It's the go-to controller for drone companies trying to cut every cost possible.

[@gvibes69]

its is fault !!! Waht he was expecting !!! Why dont push the brightness off his screen !!! Any cheap phone as enough brightness to you see the screen in the direct sun !!! Maybe he done this on purpose to trash this drone !

[@MySledgeHammer]

@@gvibes69 - If a cel phone over heats it’s screen goes dark to help prevent damage to the phone. I have had my cellphone overheat to the point it totally shuts off and will not work at all until it cools off and it’s rebooted. It wasn’t his fault or the phone’s fault it was from to much heat that affected the phone. Everyone with a cellphone regardless of its age or brand need to be careful not to leave it in a heated area or in the sun. It might be worth googling your phone to see what amount of heat and precautions you need to take to prevent permanent damage to it sense it’s not covered under warranty in many cases. Plus the heat can permanently damage it’s battery. Just a explanation of what can happen like in this case. Thanks BTW Having your phones screen turned up bright can also cause it to over heat while outside in the heat or sun also. I hope this helped you understand what happened.

[@charlierivera1946]

Even with all the heat, humidity and the lil incident, that was an excellent review, very easy to say this or that, but if that happens a professional pilot like you, image to a beginners like myself , thanks for be real and share with us all the situations, u r da best!!

[@mannyboyrivera]

Installing a avic x910bt on a 2004 g35s?

[@engineeringconsulting5534]

Steve, Though I'm sure that you would have preferred to demonstrate the full operational capabilities of the JJRC X22, it's nice to see that, like the rest of us, you make mistakes, as well. The fact that the drone went out of control does demonstrate that the manufacturer needs to make a firmware update. A simple, I lost GPS, so stop and hover until GPS signal is restored and/or until a flight command is sent from the controller. Going out of control when the GPS signal is lost is definitely a way to loose my attention as a prospective buyer. The optical flow should have still been working as a ground reference, as well. Just my opinion. I look forward to your next video. Cheers! Blue Skies, Fare Winds, and Nice Comfortable Temperatures. Faithfully, James

[@ronpetrin8481]

A similar issue happened with me and my EX5. Lost GPS and it was gone with a high wind. Never found. The suggestions made here are excellent.

[@Ellexis]

HEY DRONE! You're NOT suppose to do that! This is the CAPTAIN DRONE Channel! Thanks for keeping it real Steve! We love you unconditionally!

i love captain drone reviews. he is the most honest reviewer on all drones and rc cars and boats your awsome sir.

[@alvaroroaabad7990]

That is the reason not to buy this drone LOL,, but you did your job. Well done 👍👌

[@CloudBackups]

Hi There, I must say how accurate this video was, Its an absolutely unstable drone .I purchased the drone, did all the calibrations as I previously owned a x19 pro, on my first flight, it span our of control and hit the ground...I fought with the company, and my word, the amount of excuses I received was unbelievably...From blaming it to calibrations, the wind, then user operation, then electromagnetic interference...Guys, DONT go with the brand...It will save you the hassles...and your money....

[@tronziebit]

Hum..why didn't you just land it using sticks then try to figure out how to cool the phone?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That was an option

[@driewiel]

Shall I also put the obstacle avoidance in the box for review? No no. Steve knows what he is doing.

[@raizdesuenos]

You review drones in the absolute worst weather conditions. We appreciate it

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve....Thanks for the great video......Wow...I thought follow me modes cancel on there own if they lose track/signal and then the aircraft would just hover. I hope no rocks were harmed in the making of this video...😁

[@nikytamayo]

Would do love to see a full range and performance test without the full gimbal function. I mean, the claimed 6km range is part of the allure for this unit.

[@wulfclaw4921]

You need a flying NERF Football ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know I coukd whack one if those !

[@gunzoqc]

It's sad in a way because this drone looks kinda good ! But, to be honest, it's kinda fun to see a drone eat it like that!!😂😅

[@technodrone7723]

I hope the new one isn’t as dangerous as all the older models.

[@cesarm8811]

Funny I never would guess that in Canada you would have heating problem. North America is going thru a major heat wave!!!! Always enjoy your reviews....

[@rktn9252]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you did not crash the drone. That thing clearly went AWOL. Regardless of whether the drone was hovering or following you there were no additional inputs and you did not run around like a madman therefore the drone had no reason to do what it did. Mine didn't last long enough for me to test flight modes and I'm surprised they actually work. I like your duct tape fix. The gimbal ripping itself out in high energy crashes is a thing and I have been looking for a way to prevent that from happening.

[@charleswall3399]

Every Review I've seen even with optional avoid working The Drone Crashes I don't think it's your fault Captain!

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

old man moment just use a jacket instead or even cup your hands lool.

[@lesnagy564]

I love your cheap drone post’s! I think your a classic! You make me laugh and cheer me up! Have you ever thought of doing comedy videos! With cheap Chinese drone’s!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I will see if I can get a Netflix Comedy special :-)

[@willay747]

Fun video as always! :) Not sure if I want an out of control drone,, DJI drone just stop and hover if they lose you. BG reviews not great either BUT you get what you pay for

[@toditron]

There are a lot of drones out there, and this is one of them.

[@marcoreviews]

Great review! Looks like Tim Cook owes you a new drone! #stayepic the screen 📺 dimmer system almost cost me my Hubsan mini but I was lucky 🍀 I still had controls of the sticks and it wasn’t in a funky mode.

[@Nixas100]

the most honest iphone review :)

[@Jamienomore]

To stop your Phone from overheating in very hot weather, do what we do. Buy sealable seethrough bags bigger than your Phone. Take a Cool Box with Ice Cubes in it. Put your Phone in the Bag, Seal it and put it in the Cool Box. Works every time and never had a problem. You just need to take it out of the Bag when you need to use it with the Drone.

[@thekingsilverado3266]

Hi cap great video. A hot and humid day and a cheap drone. What could go wrong? LMAO 🤣🤣 glad to see you took the precautions of going to a big flat empty place with no people,buildings or vehicles. You have been and continue to be one of my favorite reviewer. And proudly Canadian!!!👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍

[@dennisisthedroningsmalley9807]

I heard about duct tape; it can fix anything. It may be better than superglue which would have been my first choice (silly me).

[@julianmclean3869]

Oh Dear Oh Dear ! Well Captain, at least it didn't fly back to China !!! (still haven't found the Copter!!!) just highlights, regardless of the technology, which is supposedly moving "forward"; there are still many traps for "Young Players" !!!!!!; full credit to you for posting regardless !🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@sumner407]

One of weakness’s of drones that use cell phones for the interface is just what happened to you. You can’t see it in full sun and in bright overcast it is still hard to see and read messages. This has been a thorn in my thumb for which the only solution I came up with is to put the phone in a box viewer like a FPV goggle. A little awkward but works. Enjoyed the video, I enjoy all your videos. 👍

[@shsechas]

My cousin had an earlier version of a JJRC drone and had a fly away. This is a cheap dangerous drone!!! With all drones you have a possible risk of a crash, damaging something or someone else. Most I hear or see is pilot error. Not this drone. Even the review on Banggood says they got this drone without the OA which they ordered with. Thank you for the post as all your reviews are honest. And as always...my comment is only my opinion.

[@genemcgrath4931]

I'll give you 9 out of 10 Stars on that crash!!!! Lol great video though I really like this drone thank you!!!!

[@starhawke380]

So the takeoff weight is 248grams? Cool! All my drones have that written on them now.

[@crashray5523]

Hi Steve, Thank you for the inspiring and uplifting demonstration 😳. I feel much better about myself now. . . . . 😎. Still love ya bud. 👍. I really liked the drone by the way.

[@dan4345]

I had an iPhone 10x and it did that to me when I was driving. No more Waze directions. I ditched the iPhone for an Android and never had that dark screen again. The willy nilly behaviour of the test drone is why spending a few bucks more and getting a Mini 2 is the smarter investment. IMO.

[@tdawgnok]

Well, it's good to know that you have technical difficulties also. Lol At least I'm not the only one.

[@HalfChrome]

I also have this drone and the common thing is that it has issues. I was excited to fly this thing but it is terrible in a lot of ways.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good morning captain always great review cool drone

[@-Aerox-1840]

If you're going to review more budget drones, some I have are the S6S 150g Gps drone, and KF106 that'd be pretty cool

[@cory5525]

Thanks for the video Steve! I crashed a few drones as well and have a few scars on my hand from picking up a nonresponsive drone that came back to life when I retrieved it lol.

[@eddyg1794]

I wonder if taping a chemical cool pack ( the type you squeeze to activate) to the back of your phone would keep it cool enough long enough to complete a review video? Another thought...was there not a pause button on the controller to exit the quick shot mode?

[@MrTestpilot7]

nice video captain drone a lot of beginner,s drone pilot,s do not have camera app,s can you demonstrate a video where you would fly line of sight and how to calibrate the drone and set the gps mode without going into the camera and app.because i do not have a camera phone i am just beginning to learn to fly the drone slow and easy and make nice slow circle,s and square,s and landing and take off.for practise.then after i complete that training i can move on to better thing,s.

[@richiebricker]

Yeah, We got lotsa questions about this drone. But You cant answer them other than it really freaks out when it loses its subject. It thought you were in an underground bunker and it had to hurry so ya didnt shut the door on it. I dont know if I like follow me at all costs then commits HARRI-Karri after it fails a task

[@dennisbrooks240]

Sunny and hot, 105 Fahrenheit with 65% humidity and 22 knot winds. My Air 2S handled it for a half battery flight, but the bottom was too hot to touch when it landed. Put it right on my laptop cooling and with fan!

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

A review in its repaired state sounds fine - would be most interesting and I'd like to see its claimed range too. So, perhaps you could charge everything up and give it a bash? Maybe to end it you could do a death dive and finish it off completely or even see how many crashes you need to do to finally wreck it or its unrepairable.

[@highflightimages4140]

Hey Steve. Jack from Half Chrome got one with OA and just posted a review. Looks like you were lucky that you crashed yours early. It was a DISASTER for him.

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

Great video. Seeing this, I am reminded of why I *NEVER* try to use the GPS based 'follow me' function, as it becomes volatile - when a minor technical issue occurs.

Good luck with the next one.

[@Meisech]

It's not your fault. Last Sunday, I crashed the X22 4 times. Fortunately, apart from a few scratches on the propellers, there was no damage. Something is wrong with this drone. I don't know if it's the firmware, the app or internal interference of the drone that disrupts the proper functioning. I contacted JJRC for more details. I hope to get a satisfactory response from them. In the meantime, I keep the drone on the ground.

[@allpar300m6]

@0:55 3.7 mile range for a budget drone? 🤔sounds too good to be true in my option 👌

[@trollchi]

I don't know if you are familiar with 3D pens but they can work pretty well at fixing small plastic parts. ABS filament seems to work the best. I got one for 25 bucks on amazon. Fixed my RC. :)

[@dcpatters0]

Wow Captain. I wonder if there's an issue with their software logic. Hard to tell, but it seems the motor pitch changed, and the drone flew off. If the obstacle avoidance sensor had been sent, would the same outcome have happened

[@samcollins6394]

Hay Capt. Notwithstanding the destruction of the drone did you get to fly, what looked like the vtol plane that was in the back of your jeep? I've been tempted by one of those for ages and would love to know what your thoughts are on them. Great video as always.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The plane is the E-Flite Ultrix. Not a VTOL, but more a 3D plane. I have reviewed the VTOL you are thinking of in a review long ago.

[@AnimeW69]

Low budget drones are good too.

[@goslin23]

Well that's a lawsuit waiting to happen! It's a good thing there were no cars or people there when it crashed!

wow! so expensive iPhone got serious issues ... no recall yet?

[@rzu7120]

One bad Apple spoils the drone.

[@ritchieboyd]

There is a known issue...mine got destroyed within a few days. Despite performing the calibration routine many times the drone wasn't ever able to have a controllable flight. I am now facing the very inconvenient warranty returns department with Banggood...1stly their offer of $50 compensation was in insult, now its been 2 weeks and the answer I've got is that I'll have to ship the drone back to China from Canada at a $150cad expense to me. I would not recommend this drone to anybody...

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Have a good week

[@Nine_883]

Where I live it takes no time even in the shade for that iPhone screen to go dark when I fly drones. That’s the only thing I don’t like about iPhone. But if I hot spot to my iPad mini that screen seems to not be so sensitive. I don’t think I have ever seen it go dim.

[@robertphillips3893]

I wanted to check the price of this drone and Bangood says it won't ship it to Canada, even though they shipped yours to Canada. I think you should do a duct tape drone review. Just to see how it flies with duct tape.

[@techdiy1111]

Hi there Captain drone, i don't think that you are the one responsible for the crash, i saw another video review of this drone, and it also did a toilet bowl flight like what happened to yours, ending in a crash, i think the drone has an issue and should be addressed to JJRC for a fix....or its not a JJRC at all? 🤔

STEVE .... have a dumb question = If doing real estate videos of a house and I want a circular video of the house from above looking down showing the sides of the house, can I manipulate the drone manually ? Not sure the circle around a point works so smoothly as doing in manually. Which would look smoother ? 2nd question ; if I am doing this in Canada, it looks like I don't need that TC certification for a drone less than 250g. What drone would you think is best- and less inexpensive for that ? Can you recommend a 'drone school' to prep for the Tc exam or a good website to learn the material. Seems is much different than our FAA 107

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, but it takes pilot skills. If you buy the DJI MINI 3 PRO or the DJI AIR 2S, you can then draw a box over the house and the drone does it for you.
