What Makes DJI the BEST Drones EVER? - TheRcSaylors

[@johng310]

nice video thanks.thanks for taking us on your holiday

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for tuning in John! 👍😁😎⚓

[@deadfrogracing1987]

$300 is more my price range. What brand is the one in the hard case? Is that the one you would reccomend for that price range? Great video.

[@TheRcSaylors]

$300 is a great price range Deadfrog! The drone that I held up and referred to is this one: amzn.to/3ijrNLO I know it says it is $450 but there is currently an amazon coupon that you just click before adding it to your cart that will save you $100!! Also, we have an exclusive coupon code for this drone which will save you 15% - I5ZCQBV7 I am actually really enjoying this drone a lot too. Here is a video we made while on vacation with it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmjOfIOLbddoq7M

The indoor drone or quadcopter you are flying is night and day comparison to a real drone. You are basically mentally handicapped if you crash a real drone. Buck up and get yourself one.

Honestly, I'd chose this one! I've really enjoyed flying it and it is now my go to drone for just about anything other than letting someone trying to fly that has never flown before. Just too expensive to hand over to someone like that. I like to let people fly a cheaper drone of ours if they've never flown before just to be on the safe side. Family / friends etc..

Thank you for the info on your DJI drone! I have been looking at the DJI Mini 2 they have at Costco and it looks like a nice setup. Huge upgrade coming from an aging Dromida Ominous. I love the video quality of your DJI but my wife and I have set a drone budget of about $600. I also want to take the part 107 exam and join AMA. Do you think the DJI Mini 2 would be a decent drone for filming some of our geocaching adventures? It would be fun to get video of my SCX10 Deadbolt crawling adventures too.. We probably won't fly as much as you guys do. Have a great week and have fun and be safe.

[@TheRcSaylors]

100% yes that would be an AMAZING step up from the Ominous!! Love that drone btw. The Mini 2 seems to be a truly amazing drone, and I'd love to own one myself but have to draw the line some where. We just can't afford to own them all, you know. I can very confidently say that you will be astounded at the level of quality it has to offer and you'll likely fly it a little more than you think, especially when you first get it! Small favor to ask: If you do end up buying one, please consider using our link to take you to amazon and buy it there, if possible. DJI sells directly on amazon, but we will make a few bucks of "commission" if you use our link to purchase your Mini 2. Either way, I wish you many many flights of fun and know you'll fall in love with the Mini 2 :-)

This drone has ADSB built in……anyone with flight tracking that usually see other aircraft will see this drone flying as well. This was done to comply with the pathetic FAA requirements for all model aircraft. I don’t like it because you know there will be that one person out there who will track these drone flights and the moment they think a rule is violated (flew to 401 ft) they screen shot it and report the user to the FAA……

Have you though of reviewing 3D printers for our hobby or printing parts for the cars

[@kentbarnes1955]

Nice video Nat. You're doing a good job of providing the hobbyist (and smaller FAA operators) great information on how to get involved in drone flying. I'm always hesitant to comment on your drone videos as my interest is focused on Professional Applications (capital P was intentional but not intended as a snub...I get what the hobby pilot wants to do...I do those things at times too). DJI usually makes a good product. I've friends that fly various levels of the Mavic and one who flies an older Phantom (II I think). However for myself I'm very much NOT a fan of DJI. I DON'T want to fly from the display on my iPhone or iPad. I don't want to be preemptively locked out of flying (as a FAA licensed pilot I KNOW I need pre-approval to fly in those spaces...I don't want to have to ask DJI "Mother May I". Hence I chose one of the "few" competitors at DJI's level. A Yuneec H520 (with multiple cameras). Full Disclosure...have I "used" all the features I've paid for...no. Not close. Maybe one day. I LOVE my H520. I love its controller with integrated touch screen video monitor. It flies beautiful...even in modestly high winds. I have had issues...so it's not all roses. So for me...I DO enjoy the videos...but yes...I'm one who wants a "tool" not a "toy" (it's why I got the FAA license). That said, I might well try the DJI race drone...enjoyed your video on that (see I can do hobby level stuff). FYI: the Yuneec H520 is in the market space of the DJI Inspire...at least that's the closest I can fine. Also just like the added protection a hexacopter gives. Still looking for a time to go fly. Have to recover from surgery I had last week first. My our Great Creator Bless the RCSaylors always.

[@mgesmalltownaerial2840]

The Tello is for up close selfie’s staying within about 50 feet from self. For close up flying with image stabilization the Tello is unbeatable in its class. An onboard dvr would have made the Tello the absolute best selfie drone in it’s class even more so than it is now.

[@TheFrenchPug]

The best drones out there are ones that don't land lock you, first and foremost. Then you go from there to nail one down. I just have the orivinal Mavic Pro. But it's jailbroke now (thank the drone Gods!). But I'm not an idiot who will jeopardize anyone. A new phone is nowhere near a new drone in comparison. You are dealing with the FAA and not the FCC. Make sure before you buy any drone that you find out about its "big brother" lock you out firmware that will keep you from taking off in areas that are perfectly safe and make you wish you'd never bought it. You'll be much happier. DJI is the absolute WORST when it comes to that because they are so big as a company and builds in over protection to keep the overlords happy.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We did very briefly touch on that in this video, but I have to ask out of personal curiosity: where does one purchase said drone that you speak of? 🤔

@@TheRcSaylors Besides jailbreaking them (actually changing firmware settings) I don't believe I've seen any DJIs after the Mavic Pro drone yet but I also haven't been looking.

Spot-on comments. I’m impressed by the performance of DJI drones, but will never buy one because DJI codes flight-restriction capability into their flight software. Currently, it’s geofencing. With Remote ID rolling out in the U.S. in 2023, they can literally prevent your drone from flying if it’s not equipped with a RID module. That’s WAY too Big Brother for me... I’ll stick with my Hubsan and Fimi drones, which do not have flight restriction capability.
