The BEST Low Cost DRONES for BEGINNERS (part 2) - My Recommendations

[@kiwiryker]

Hey guys , Captain does this as a passion , he teaches us more than most , .. I’m dumbfounded why anyone would give captain a down thumb. So much info, links, looks for bargains. Doesn’t ask for subscribers ( I hate that ) thanks Captain , many of us appreciate your efforts

[@chimpmeister23]

I agree with your statement. However there will always be miserable people who downvote these kinds of useful videos, best to just ignore them.

[@dronereviewman9580]

Thanks brother!!!! This is a great channel and i totally agree with you!! But some people just love 2 put other down. Hope you have a good day and get to fly a drone!!

Captain Drone, I'm a newbie with Drones and I'm very happy to have discovered your drone videos. They have been very informative and helpful. Keep up your good works.

[@britcapitalist3920]

All Captain is doing is giving incredible insight and value to the people who are new to drones, like me. Doesn’t deserve a single self-serving thumbs down. Must think they know better. Thank you Captain!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@musicimagination5177]

Hey Steve. I can't believe it's been 4 years. I still fly my B4w and B2Se. All original batteries and flight times are like out of the box. Money well spent. MJX RC is great for beginners very well built. Of course I love my dji and yuneec drones too. Happy new year. Thanks again for what you do.

That’s great! Thanks for sharing.

Anyone who give this guy a thumb down shouldn’t even comment. He has led me taken me to a passion from low cost budget drones to flying life styles of the rich and aimless. Seriously you need watch all his drone break downs and realize how much knowledge this guys has.

Hey Walker. If I can fly and own a drone, anyone can. I have two, a Parrot Anafi and a DJI Spark both which takes fantastic video. I am up here in Washington state and love taking one or both of them on a cinematic adventure. Get one Walker. You won’t regret it. Just immerse yourself in a bunch of drone flying videos on KZbin just to get an idea how to fly them.

[@dustylover100]

Captain Drone: I may be interested in a drone that starts as an entry-level drone but can be upgraded to a professional-quality drone with some updates instead of buying another one. I would probably need a stabilizing system-gimbals setup. It does not have to be a gopro to start, but can be upgraded to it.

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

i don't think such a drone exists yet. The evo 2 leaks will supposedly have interchangeable gimbals and lenses but that will already be way above a starter drone price. The zino 2 maybe your best option. Currently $399 if you buy it asap for the presale. 4k 60fps so definitely has professional specs. Very cheap for what it brings.

[@chimpmeister23]

Fantastic video roundup of low-cost drones Captain! I own the Bugs 4W, JJRC X11, SJRC F11, MJX Bugs 2SE, and JJRC X5, all are really nice drones for the money! They may not have the best video quality, but they're a lot of fun to fly. Too many people are hung up on video quality (DJI snobs), when a lot of people just want to fly and have a good time.

[@fox0013]

Which drone is better to you bugs 4w or f11 pro

[@chimpmeister23]

@@fox0013 JJRC X11 or Bugs 4W, they are the same drone but the JJRC version has a slightly different body which I prefer over the 4W. You can get them for around $200-250 including 2-3 batteries and a nice carrying bag (make sure to get the bundle which includes the bag with the number 26 embroidered on it, excellent bag).

[@fox0013]

Sjrc f11 not x11

[@chimpmeister23]

@@fox0013 so I only have the regular SJRC F11 (1080p camera), not the Pro version (2K camera). I like the drone and it handles very well, but I still recommend the Bugs 4W (or it's alternative version the JJRC X11 which has a better body shell).

[@peebeme1506]

Facts

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

Great share - here's a hint about how to get the basics before getting one of the fine machines you reviewed in this video (thanks for the great share). The way I learned to fly quads was a $50 one from Toys R Us a couple of years ago. There is about 100 different ones in this price point. I realized fast there were layers of learning. Instead of flying around, I skidded around on the ground, at first - keep it to 2D first. That, in itself was fun with a couple of nephews doing the same, drifting around the garage floor, making turns without crashing into the walls. Then, next step was to use altitude lock at about 4 feet high, doing figure 8s around the two lolly columns. The next thing to control was let alt control off, and I was pretty much on my way. The cheapos can take the light beating I dealt them very well - buy extra batteries, though, or you will be sitting around waiting for the one you have to charge! Trying to fly fpv without the above is leaving out some important "scaffolding." I think you have to watch your quad, at first, to get a sense of the kinetics. My 2c. : )

[@BrutalRiotGirl01]

Yea I buy a buch of cheapos and I still haven't learned to fly well, I also lost 3 drones inside of tree branches luckily they were 30 dollar drones (well 50$ I just wait to buy when theres a sale)

[@ixman]

"...or you're flying these very expensive DJI drones and you're curious..." Bingo. Some situations, it gets terrifying to commit a $1,700 drone to, knowing that if it goes down you'll never get it back. If one of these can provide 85% of the functionality with far less financial risk, then it's a good investment. Good as always, Captain.

[@darthollpheist1156]

Never flown in my life but I just got a DJI Mavic Mini. I took it out for a test run for about 5 minutes. It was cool and not too hard. I'll have to do some digging into the ins and outs of it but overall, it seems great. I mean, you don't really have to do that much when it comes to landing. It won't even land unless it's a flat surface and it has sensors on the bottom and GPS. It's great. I have a friend that has one and he's new to flying too. He has no issues. I say, as long as you're in a field with enough space and it has auto hover, who cares.

[@JasonStegall1]

I love this channel. Captain knows his stuff. He has definitely had an influence on my purchase.

[@FahadKhan_3007]

Unbelievable Steve... I just saw, when this amazing video was uploaded to KZbin by you... Never knew that this video was uploaded on my 12th birthday when a huge flood hit Patna, Bihar, India! Came to know about this video after February 2020 when I got interested in RC drones!

[@Air_Devil_Leader_One]

Hya Fellow, I am a Canuck and have to appologize (joking) for it. I have been watching your interesting videos here on youtube and have purchased the latest version of that JJRC x5 drone you like so much. I had a Maciv Air fly more but after an upgrade it decided to flip upside down and hammer itself into the ground and was dead. I returned it as it was a rip off and bought the Epik you showed here so well I have seen many of your videos and made a list and your information made me choose what you spoke about. I want to THANK YOU for your serious efforts in this site and appreciate it very much. I even got the more 2600 series larger batteries and a gift card so am extremely happy because of you Sir!

I wanted to thank you for making my first drone purchase easy and fun. I've learned so much from watching your videos and being able to make a confident decision was because of you. So, thank you CAPTAIN DRONE!

[@printer5518]

Thanks Captain, great video. These are all great entry level drones. But just a thought, even if your into higher level drones, these would be great for a family get together like a reunion, or a barbecue, to let the kids fly, or interested adults, so you don’t have to let them fly your expensive drones. I have some Hubsan gps drones I bring, and I’m always the hero of the party.

Very nice vid! 👏👏👏 So last 9.9.2019 i ordered the JJRC X6, influenced by you ofcourse. Not bad video with gimbal, but not satisfied, fortunately the battery is not charging so i had the opportunity to return it. Now my budget is twice the price of JJRC X6 but i'm really having a hard time choosing between a used dji spark or a bnew hudson zino as they have (almost) the same price. My main purpose is making videos. Thanks for the vids! More power to you Captain!Ü

[@oliviergoggins]

Veejay Lagarejos I would go between the 2 for Hudson. Because sparky isnt 3 axis. I have a dji Inspire 1 V2.0. I would recommend to buy a used drone. Which isnt fly to many times. Like for the same price as the hudson you got a used Dji phantom 3 pro with extra battery’s and things like that. Just look for that. It is only a recommending. New isnt always good for the price. Good luck! Have fun with your new drone hobby :). Besides the spark and the Tello every other DJI drone is good. Just take your time to find a good used price,

[@jetmartin9501]

I'd go with the Zino FOR SURE over the Spark any day. Zino 4K vs Spark 1080p Zino 3-axis gimbal vs Spark 2-axis gimbal Zino 15 - 18min ACTUAL flight time vs Spark 10-12min ACTUAL flight time. And if that wasn't enough to convince you Spark is considerably more expensive. Unless you are a DJI fanboy I see no legitimate or logical reason to buy a Spark over a Zino. About the only thing the Spark has over the Zino is Front facing obstacle avoidance...so if you are prone to crashing head on into objects then that forward facing obstacle avoidance could prove useful...but most people don't crash drones that way.

[@musicimagination5177]

Good job. I have the bugs 4w. And of course the sister flag ship to the X9. DJI Spark. To bad the X9 battery isn't compatible with the Spark. They did a good job on keeping them very different. Looking forward to your next video on the Spark. What are your thoughts on Latraxx Alias. I have had one for about 5 years now. It's a great flyer and almost indestructible.

[@GAMESTERVISION]

@@chrisr7746 I ended up buying a Marsmo B4W. It's the same as the bugz 4w or the jjrc x11 and a few others who use the same set up.. they all just have their own custom player on the top over around the power button. Lol except jjrc they seem to have made their own complete top half of the body. Like the complete top shroud.. they all are the best drone for under 200$ us. Its 5g gps. Only a 1 axses vertical directional controlable gimbal and some are 2k and others do 4k. But the 4 k is low fps so the 2k ones are all u need really. It can lift a gopro with ease. Weighs 659grams tho on it's own so it's really stable. Holds gps well. I got a $5 Wi-Fi repeater and I made a concave tin foil reflector that fits on my antennas at home with about $8 worth of materials and I get double the range that I was getting originally with it it's absolutely amazing and I suggest those models to anybody who wants their very first drone but can't afford the dji's if you can't afford a DJ I get one of those get a spark or get a mavic Mini Pro or a mavic mini Zoom but if you can't afford those prices definitely definitely look at the BMW 4 Series made by the few companies that have them you will not be disappointed

[@chrisr7746]

Ok help me out again please looking for 150$ us handles good in any wind

[@GAMESTERVISION]

@@chrisr7746 I suggest the bugz 4w or the marsmo b4w. You can find the base sets with one battery and no case for about 150$ u.s. and yes it IS SUPER STABLE in most any normal to medium wind.

It does it for you! And it lands by your feet on it's own it it gets too far away and goes out if control. It cant get lost almost impossible. It's amazing I promise.

Thanks for the review Captain. I looked at the X9 Heron but sold out. Purchased the Bugs4 W through your site after your review on it. Such a great stable drone. Very happy with it! I use it for 4k photos. Use my Mavic Pro for video.

[@chaffXgrenade]

Very good video. I just suddenly found myself thinking "huh, I wonder how much a basic drone would cost" and looked it up here and your video was the first to show up. Pleasantly surprised to see how low some of these prices were--I assumed they only *started* in the mid-to-high hundreds of dollars. Ya learn something new every day~

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sjoerd104]

Which one would you recommend of all of these? I want one with a decent camera and around 150euro (164 usd)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Hmmmm.... I believe I recommend all of them which is why the video was made. Find the one that fits your budget.

Hey everyone 1st timer. Did I make a mistake ordering a "DRONEX" SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yeah, if you really did buy it, you'll be rather disapointed.

[@danielortiz9927]

we all kinda know the price, but when the vid drops we know still if the price goes up or down just by the internet!! thanks for the heads up CD!!!

[@LoneStar_1836]

Thank you for putting these videos together. I owe a Phantom 3 Pro and Im one of those people you mentioned in the beginning of your video. I watched your first video yesterday and Im glad your 2nd video is up.

[@offthegridliving3339]

This is a good video. All the other people you search ramble too much

[@lennyf1957]

Suggestion: leave the price info on the screen for more then 3 seconds.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Can't due to having to squeeze in tons of info in short time. I might suggest hitting the SPACE BAR on your computer, or tap screen on phone to engage pause. Also, all links to prices for your particular country can be found below the video.

[@yourtubernoob]

Suggestion: Try using the Spacebar or Click simply on the video and you will simply pause the screen... Or is that too much for you to process? Or better yet, if it's too fast, use the gear in the lower right hand corner of the video and changer the playback speed to whatever suits your brain and its ability to read / process the information on screen. CD has perfectly execution with all of his videos and are all JAM PACKED with so much information there that if he made them a in-depth 1 hour long each, you would turn away many users due to the evolution of our useless attention spans. Hope you can handle it in the years to come, good luck with all future endeavors, and maybe get a speech to text bot that can write out everything it hears from your voice / tv / computer etc..

[@jasonzheng5839]

Ah, yes, leaving he price on for 2 more seconds will absolutely ruin the video. Shame on him for giving a suggestions that undoubtedly a lot of people would like. Just pause the video! Or scrub back!

I sent you a few minutes ago this is Craig Anthony about the Phantom 3 Advanced app it's only flown twice still got the prop Gardens and original prompt on it I got the battery charger two batteries but all the friend of mine that lives in Punta Gorda Isles asked if I wanted but he was taking his GoPro for off of it so maybe I have to have that attached to it to fly because it wasn't like the when I'm interrupting video about the jjr bugs I'm just so desperate to fly I would rather swap technology for cheaper technology I learned my lesson about the 30% on the battery good day sir

im always hearing mention of "telementry" what is telemetry?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Height, Distance, Speed, Orientation, etc

[@airpic5253]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 information relayed back to either the transmitter or your phone or tablet from the drone

[@rjohnson5972]

How about a update for 2022

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Those don’t occur until November

[@samfallon2568]

Any drone without a gimbal is going to shoot pretty bad footage and it is going to look shaky and bad.

[@johnryan2193]

Thanks for your great advice .I just got my first drone but I still watch your reviews ,happy new year .

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Happy New Year

[@federalnoise]

The S167 is better than i originally expected. The onboard camera although extremely limited, does shoot at 60fps onto the SD card. You don't need a phone for this drone even, just something to read the raw .Avi off the microSd.
