After flying UH-60's in the Army and now I'm flying medevac for my local hospital (OSF) I finally bought a drone (Potensic D85) thinking shoot I can fly real aircraft I can fly a drone........well after getting it stuck in a tree, stuck on top of my house and hitting my brand new Dodge Demon (that hurt lol) I found this video and have to say a huge THANK YOU!!!! There is a huge difference between real helicopters and drones but I already knew that. Thank you for this video, so now my 11 year old daughter and I can have fun following your videos

[@deliverybryan1138]

I just bought a drone today and it’s my first time . I need to watch this video more and more everyday !!!

[@johnwoods9428]

Since I purchased my first drone this weekend, I have been scouring You Tube for tips. This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Real helpful. Many thanks

[@kimberlydbruce]

Thank you sir for really caring about ppl enough to take time out your day to help. I have subscribed

[@KevinThorne2000]

Finally someone who shows me how to fly instead of just talk.

[@dronecamps]

You're welcome Kevin! :)

[@EezeeListen]

Thanks for this.. At 62 yrs old I am just discovering the delights and frustrations of "drone" flying. It is far harder than I first thought :) Best wishes from Ireland.

[@philsam4913]

Thanks for your excellent video,after a car but me 9hrs ago leaving me disabled,(twisted mix spine,neck,pelvis,arms in steel frames,chunk of leg missing,skull dented,bruised & slight damaged brain,learning to try walking but now mobility scooter,blackouts,now worsening short term memory loss,hands open of there own accord,2 strokes since,heart & carotid artery surgery with heart implant device,nurses twice daily & tons of meds,insomnia & chronic pain 24/7 !!) Apart from that I'm fine,but up until your video,I'd smashed/crashed 2 other drones as my now lack of concentration & coordination & extremely fast forgetfulness,but now it's a much easier hobby to do now due to your particular instructions,my new drone is STILL in one piece,so thanks to you for all the help on your A - Z Video. All the best,Phil

[@willwinn8559]

I've been flying for years , it's always good to get a refresher course .😎👍

[@allanfahlman1093]

Thanks Justin, a great video for learning the basics. I am a 68 year old kid, and want to learn how to fly a drone.

[@jmcdevitt62]

Great video for a true beginner. So many of the videos I've watched go through everything so fast that it is almost impossible to learn anything. Thank you too for the info about battery safety. I purchased a lipo safe bag (from Amazon) and a couple of small pouches to store my batteries in.

[@thebagfather4633]

nice one wish id watched this last week still i will watch it again before i fly again .

[@donpodlas5546]

A great beginners video for basic drone piloting. I commend you for your dedication to this sport and for helping beginners, like me, be a little less apprehensive about drones....thank's again!

[@johnaverick7468]

Thank you for the Hands on ( show me how) not just Jabber tutorial. You Da Man !

[@cbftoan01]

Great video, I'm thinking of getting a drone for aerial video, this was very helpful.

[@JP1970]

And a HUGE thank you, sir! I have just discovered the joy of flying drones, but I had no real idea what I was supposed to be doing. This video was a huge help. Thank you very much. I subbed!

[@dronecamps]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the sub my man!

[@JP1970]

@@dronecamps Also, you had me so worried about burning my house down that I stored my charged batteries in the washing machine last night. You were serious right?

[@nizmo90]

Thanks for the video just got my first drone a AEE AP11 pro love it .

[@devonbiker]

Was given a drone for Christmas Hubsan H501S and the more I KZbind drones afterwards, I came to the conclusion I need to buy the Mavic Pro or the Mavic 2 Pro instead. However, after watching your video I’m beginning to think of keeping the Hubsan just to learn the basics before flying an expensive drone. Thanks for the video, it was helpful.

[@jasonls44]

[@ralphm923]

Great beginner course! Learned a lot in 20 mins. Now time to take it to the field. Thanks! & Subed...

[@Sky1]

Waiting on my DJI Mavic Air, in the mean time I've been practicing with my Syma 107 here in the house with my cats chasing it. I am an ex RC plane pilot, cant wait for the new toy!

[@jmcdevitt62]

I've wanted to fly RC planes for years but never had the time or money to invest. My little Syma and my new larger drone are a nice substitute.

[@Pindi44]

Some great tips, esp about battery safety, thanks.

Nice lot of info - thank you for your time and effort.

[@donpodlas5546]

Great video! Being totally new to quads this was much appreciated. Thanks for the info!

[@dronesrctechworld2786]

Nice video well done. Glad I stumbled across your channel.

[@didactylos4diddy474]

That is quite a different re-orientation technique (it works though) from that I learned and use. If gently pushing the pitch forward makes the quad move to the right I apply right yaw until it doesn't move right any more then pushing the pitch forward brings in back nose in. Applying left yaw in the same circumstances and then pitching back brings it back tail in. I've just been out and tried both systems and I don't think either is better than the other so thanks I've learned something new :)

[@dronecamps]

Thanks. Most times even at far distances a yaw spin until I find the rear helps bring it home.

[@Richiesrant]

Great vid. Very helpful to new drone owners!

[@SupraManG]

Yeppers, this is a great video tutorial explaining the basics of flying a drone. Very good. Time to sub!

Very good and informative instruction. I like your style and how straight to the point you are. Do you teach how to do videos with theses? Love to learn

[@orepsa]

Thanx pal

[@TheGaffanon]

I'm trying to teach the mrs. to fly quads this is a help

[@brian1978503]

I remember starting out with the bugs 3, I thought that thing was fast!! Haha

[@draghiciciprian4002]

A very, very good tutorial. Thank you.

[@upplsuckimcool16]

I found that my brain can handle normal hover and nose in hover really well fairly quickly However, my biggest issue is when I'm at a side view orientation. That is when my mind loses track of what's going on and I panic.

[@maggieneilson1589]

It's a beautiful video, but I really could not understand from it precisely HOW to use the controls to hold a hover. Every time mine takes off, it zooms as far away from me as it can, until it crashes into something. Like a two year old in a supermarket. Is it my Syma, or is it me? Please show us sometime what you do with your controls to achieve the hover.

[@droneabovethenetherlands6961]

Thank you for this video, i have some work to do :-)

[@heatonheaton9191]

i like it

Hi awesome page ☺ Keep it up!

Hii I really enjoy your channel ☺ Keep it up!

[@JoeDoeOutdoors]

Hey I really enjoy your page ☺ Keep it up!

[@MainstreamMusicVideo]

It would be niceif you showed how to trim out this drone so it doesn't drift backward. I have the larger one you talked about at the beginning of your video, and I'm trying to trim it to keep the hover without drifting back towards me. Thanks for the tutorial. Nice job

[@odinaryman4235]

Thanks.

[@ericwaters4042]

thanks because im a beginer i just got 1

[@alexeyshamanin]

Great video! I'm expecting a new one for more advanced flying techniques! You're a great teacher!

[@dronecamps]

Thanks Alexey!

[@markmathews5117]

Been flying with GPS..Thats easy. Have a bugs 3 on the way and thanks for the tips on fly away. I can see me doing that. Ha Ha.

[@Nanael24]

Which drones works with an iphone 8+ or how do I find out, is there a list?

[@f62darkstar]

If you lose orientation during flight, can you switch it to headless mode during flight then pull the stick back towards you to bring it back?

[@supercharged2414]

How do I hover the copter? Yeah just put it in a hover?

[@HillbillyonaYZ]

You described a couple of the problems I've had. Wind and getting too far away. Actually the wind got me too far away before I realized there was going to be a problem. Drone was getting to be just a speck so I shut it off and let it fall. Then I had to go knock on a door and say "scuse me, my little drone crashed in your back yard, can I go back there and get it?". Lady was looking at me like she was wondering if I was an ax murderer or just an idiot, but she let me go get it. Lol, live and learn..

[@jackfrost2146]

After you left, the lady was thinking "Well, he wasn't an ax murderer, so he must be-----

[@skyprop]

That same thing happened on my first flight except it was in someones tree

[@45flavius]

Jack Frost you make my day.....LOL

[@SoFlyOfficial]

perfect video, your video helped me so much, I hope I can learn how to turn now, but when I try my throttle stick always goes up because i into have altitude hold

[@dronecamps]

You will get it. Keep practicing

[@SoFlyOfficial]

Drone Camps RC thank you, every time I try it goes up idk why, only using yaw I believe, but with a smaller drone I can kind of turn

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

on my world tech mini elite Orion when I pres return it beeps and wont shut off yet I still have some control, and the easy mode makes it like headless and beeps yet another push can turn it off on the-same button ,why isn't the return button shutting off when pushed twice

[@pinkfluffypottato2866]

Can you make a video on how to fly smoother
