Potensic T35 Drone Quadcopter Setup

[@RunwithBrad]

My nephew just gave me this particular drone, I’m hoping to use it to enhance my own KZbin channel. Thanks for great video!!

[@dwcoffey]

I like mine, I do wish it had a bit more range though. Also, I have found that if you are using an iphone, you need to be sure the drone is the strongest wifi signal the phone sees. Otherwise, the phone will switch wifi connections and you will lose video to the phone. Controls and recording still work fine, you just won't have live video to the phone. Thanks for watching, Brad!

Perfect video, I' ve bought yesterday. Today im gonna fly for the first time. All the best from Poland.

[@dwcoffey]

Thank you for watching, Robert! I hope all goes well!

[@robertbogirdm307]

@@dwcoffey Hello Denis, what are you thinking, because i have a problem to buy extra battery, can you help me some way?Now is difficult time but maybe we can find some solution?

[@dwcoffey]

Hi Robert, this is the best deal and quickest delivery I can find on spare batteries: amzn.to/3cnCoPn

[@robertbogirdm307]

Dennis Coffey 😂😂😂Thanks for answer 👍👊 no ship to Poland from your link🙃Still searching☝all the best😉

[@robertbogirdm307]

Dennis Coffey Hope can find somewhere, btw, Potensic also out of stock 😉

[@kennyg880]

Dennis this is Kenny thank you so much for demonstrating about the Drone I was thinking to get one again thank you and God bless

[@dwcoffey]

Hi Kenny! Thanks for watching! I think this is a good drone to start off with. It's my first and so far, I really like it. The only thing I wish was different is the battery charge time. It takes them about 5 hours to charge for about 15-20 minutes of flight time. I'm glad my wife bought 2 batteries!

[@promomm]

So happy to have watched your video on this, ordered one earlier today! Would love to see a video on your navigation progress. Thanks for sharing.

[@dwcoffey]

Thank you for watching! I'll do my best to get a vid put together. I'm still working on my nav skills though. The other day, I lost sight of the drone....could hear it, but couldn't see it. After trying to maneuver it so I could see it again several times, I gave up and hit the 'home' button. That got it back to me so I could take over the flight again.

[@promomm]

So glad to hear that works! 😊

[@dwcoffey]

Yes, I was really relieved that it did work. I was flying over a very wooded, hilly area and I was dreading having to find the drone if the battery died before I could figure out where it was!

[@kerrygordon4398]

Love that drone bro! this is how many people like it👍👇

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Kerry!!

[@karasmith4544]

Thanks Dennis this was very helpful. Question: I’m having a hard time getting the propeller caps snapped on. Is there a trick for snapping them in? I don’t want to break them. Thanks again

[@dwcoffey]

Hi Kara, thanks for watching! I had to press them on pretty hard to make them snap in place, but they weren't terribly difficult. I did find that they had to be aligned just right to snap on though.

[@omarluatia736]

Thank you, this video helped a ton!

[@dwcoffey]

That's great! Thnaks for watching, Omar!

[@walkr7998]

dennis getting fancy on us!

[@dwcoffey]

LOL! Right? I never thought I'd have a drone, but I have to say....it's a lot of fun to fly and play around with. As always, thanks for watching, Walkr!

[@yourdailyphix8832]

How and where do I put in an SD Card? Also to get the best images and videos, do I need an on board as card installed? Because to me at least, the images and videos I get off the drone camera do not look “Full HD 1080p” Also, GREAT VIDEO!

[@dwcoffey]

Thank you for watching! The SD card goes in the back of the on-board camera. It takes a mini-SD. I think the images off the on-board card are better than the images saved to my phone.

[@ricksanchez815]

Great and straight to the point.. question: Dk I have to calibrate the drone every single time I am going to fly it?

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Rick! I had to calibrate mine the first 3 or 4 times I flew, but after that it has not been necessary. I'm guessing that if I make a significant change in my flying location, I will have to recalibrate though.

[@paullawrence8572]

Great demo! Thanks. (UK)

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Paul!

[@joes6883]

Very Interesting Dennis. China makes alot of things but if I ever get a drone & I am really thinking about it, it would have to be American made or anything but China. Thanks for the demo though. Appreciate it.

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Joe! I like this one fine for just playing around and learning, especially since it is so much cheaper than the higher-end drones. And I agree with you especially if I were using one for business. Thank you Joe!

[@PatrickJ12334]

Dennis, Thank you so much for this video! Really made my setup for the drone so much easier, like you wouldn't believe. I have been trying to fly using the google map, but can't get that to work. Do you by chance have any suggestions? Like I want to map out my flight.

[@dwcoffey]

Hey Patrick, thanks for watching and I'm glad this helped! I have not tried flying using google map, other than having the map display as I fly. If you tap the 'swiping finger' icon at the top of the control screen, the map will display on the right side. That's about as far as I've gotten :) Please let me know if you figure out more from there....I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

[@PatrickJ12334]

@@dwcoffey I tried but for some reason it's not very receptive. I'm going to try again tomorrow when I have a full charge.

[@dwcoffey]

Sounds good! If you have time, let me know how it went. I may want to try that too!

[@Joez86]

Great video

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@johnbeckham51]

Just received this drone,charged it up then went through the set up. Using the lift off and land button to get it off the ground. It drifts to the left without any inputs to the drone,how do I make it just hover and not move? The home button does nothing and I have the hardest time landing it softly. Any help would be useful Thanks

[@dwcoffey]

Hey John, thanks for watching. I always use the lift off/land button, just because it's easier. :) Drifting usually happens with any drone when the gyroscope or GPS isn't fully calibrated (assuming it's not caused by crosswind). So, I'd start by calibrating the GPS and gyro...follow the procedure in Potensic's app. So far, my experience has been good with the home button, so I'm also guessing that your trouble may be related to calibration.....without proper calibration, it doesn't know where home is. Soft landings will come with practice.....I'm currently working with control in close-quarters and it is a little challenging to have a soft-enough touch on the controls....haha. I've had more than one crash.

[@spyjams08therobloxian66]

Hey Dennis! How do I know it's charging? Thanks so much for the vid, helped so much!

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching! When the batteries are charging, the blue lights light up and go out until it is fully charged, then they all light up and stay lit.

[@spyjams08therobloxian66]

@@dwcoffey Thanks so much! Out in freezing cold and wind I flew it, and it's a beauty! God bless your soul, and enjoy the MLK weekend.

[@dwcoffey]

Awesome! I got caught in some nasty wind the other day....wasn't sure I was going to be able to fly it back, but made it before the battery died! Whew!! Thanks very much and also God's blessing to you sir!!

[@paigesnyder205]

The caps I have for the propeller blades are not a round fitting, they are 6 sided, how do I make that go over the round fixed ring??

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Paige! I can't remember if mine had a hex shape or not, but I do remember that they were very difficult to push on (maybe that's why). Once on, they have stayed put.

[@spyjams08therobloxian66]

Hi! I figured out that one end of thee hex shape thing has a recess for the head of the screw to fit in, so it's flush. Make sure the screw is in there.

[@paigesnyder4504]

Yes, I finally realized that the plastic fixed ring had an indention where the screw sat down in when it was tight, as soon as I changed them so the screw sat flush the caps went right on. The manual is pathetic!! Now I am having trouble getting the drone and my phone paired up, it keeps saying my internet connection is poor. I thought this would be fun but it is very stressful!!!

[@jameskoplin]

@@paigesnyder4504 Manual sucks, it's an underpaid translator person. Once you get it, its a blast!

[@dwcoffey]

Hey Paige, I sometimes have the same problem with the phone and internet connection. My phone will seek the best connection, so my phone will sometimes jump connection from the drone to a local router that has a better signal. I've had to tell my phone to forget the other routers, so it will only see the drone. Hope that helps!

[@emilyjudithanne4437]

What if i lost the instructions and I can’t get that barcode? How do i connect it to my phone?

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Emily. You can go to potensic.com, click on Support, then Downloads and Drivers. Scroll down until you find your model, then you can download their manual.

[@AyKhi]

How do I take the battery out I need help

[@dwcoffey]

The battery in the drone comes out by squeezing the top and bottom release tabs on the battery. Sometimes it's a little tight so you may have to pull on it.

[@AyKhi]

Dennis Coffey thanks.

[@lorigjohnston]

I got this for my husband. But it keeps dropping the wifi signal when trying to record :(

[@dwcoffey]

Hi Lori, thanks for watching. Here's what I've notice with mine: it will still record on the onboard memory card. If there is a stronger wifi signal in the area, my cell phone will tend to switch over to it when the drone signal gets weak. If I get in a spot where the drone wifi signal is the strongest, I don't have a problem with it dropping. Or I can tell my phone to forget the stronger wifi signal so it only looks at the drone.

[@willboyd4607]

Frustration does not even begin to describe the 3 hrs. it takes to get those propellers on.

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Will. The little caps aggravated me to no end. Once I figured out the first one, I was fine, but yea......frustrating is an understatement! LOL!

[@bellmeisterful]

I got the T25....much smaller

[@dwcoffey]

Nice! How do you like it?

[@bellmeisterful]

@@dwcoffey Oh man Dennis...Ive tried it out once so far. I found it easier to land than fly, which people found odd as they said I was doing it opposite of everyone else. Lol. But it's a great drone so far.n
