I always tell people who are new to drones to remember the 2 "P"s, Which are Point and Push. You "Point" the drone the direction you want it to go, then "Push" forward on the right stick. Those instructions to point and push have always helped me when I was instructing someone who was new to drone flying. No need to learn all the orientations all at once if you just remember to point and push when you are new.

[@adakalyoncu1913]

It will be ineffective when you get in a condition where you have lots of obstructions and your gps doesn't work and you have to react in seconds to keep the drone from drifting. Yes it is a good way to not worry about orientation but if you asked me, I wouldn't let anyone who can't hover tail in, side orientations and nose in, in full atti mode to go to a high altitude long range flight, as a lot of things can go wrong at any time and need to be reacted fast and effectively. You might smash into a wall before you can yaw out and push forwards, whereas you can use the cyclic even diaognally to get the drone out of the obstruction if you know your orientation and can react fast

I've been 'heavily' involved in RC aircraft for close to 50 years, primarily gliders & sailplanes, and was fortunate to start when the systems were close to what we are using now, and had always wanted to fly helicopters, but they were too twitchy at the time and way too expensive as well - at least for the average everyday guy and drones were not available in the civilian market at the time. Started looking at drones a few years ago, but being retired and with limited funds the drones I preferred were still to pricey, so I decided to wait until they had worn out the "newness" and could be sold at a price I was willing to pay, so I really appreciated the information you presented and will take a serious look at a few of the higher-end drones you showed. Thank you for taking the time to share your information with us.

There other options in buying a DJI they sell factory refurbished units, that are completely gone through and are just like new and much cheaper, that is the way I went and got a Phantom 3 Standard SE for $430.00 dollars( the last time I checked the price of an SE on Amazon it was $700.00), just like new, came with everything a new one would straight from the DJI store. DJI also has a program that cost $60.00 dollars a year, that if your drone fly's off on you they will replace it and you the have the option of renewing that program annually, check that out.

You can use a tablet if don't have a phone the drone apps are usually downloadable from google play or the manufacture's website. One of the biggest problems is screen glare in daylight, so a lot of these screens are just not going to bright enough to eliminate sun glare, so my advice is to buy one or make some kind of sun shield for the screen, it helps a lot. Another word of advice for beginners if you are flying it outdoors put your telephone number on it with a message saying if found please call this number. :), been down this road.

[@robdigital5920]

Man that power egg is a unique looking drone! Every week I change my mind on which drone I want next lol. The more I learn the more I figure out what my needs are. Its hard for me to want a drone that has any less than a 3 axis gimbal now that I know how important it is to stable footage. That an SD card slot and at least optical flow or ultrasonic Sensors. Since I have the x12 I’m thinking next buy will either be the mini, the air or the fimi but I also have been looking deeper into racing quads. Who knows what I’ll end up getting!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Expect a new MAVIC in 2020... will it be called the MAVIC 3? That I don't know. Check out my 2020 Drone Prediction Video.

[@exgenica]

One important thing you might cover in the future is whether a given drone has an INTERNAL battery for the video subsystem and whether it is user replaceable. I've read the specs on a few drones that have a *separate battery/cell for the video subsystem* and from what I've seen it is NOT designed to be user replaceable and/or definitely not easily as swappable as the flight batteries. With heavy use, I'd expect a video battery replacement to be every year or so with a *nominally* 300 charge/recharge cycle lithium cell, because the capacity of a lithium cell decreases with every charge/recharge cycle. After TBD charge/recharge cycles it won't last long enough to send/capture video the entire flight. One may even find that even if flight time per flight remains relatively long, the amount of time you can acquire video in each flight decreases a lot more quickly. For example if I use 3 *swappable* batteries for flight which I can change out, then within a year I may still have a long flight time with a flight battery pack, but the video system battery...which I can NOT easily swap out...will only record and transmit video for a much shorter period of time. With a new drone I might start with 25min of flight and 25min of video, and after a year be getting 20min of flight with a flight battery pack, but only 10 minutes of video because I couldn't swap-out the video battery during flights. That means that no matter how many flight battery packs I bring with me, I'm still limited in how much video I can acquire during a day because the video battery eventually loses capacity with each flight...and I can't swap it out.

Another informative video thanks. It would be unfair of me not to comment on my recent experience buying one of the Fimi X8 se drones. Fortunately I cannot blame you, as I had purchased prior to this video. I wouldn't like you to be blamed for people having the same experience as I did. I have to WARN UK BUYERS, beware of Banggood. The drone was dispatched from their European warehouse, thereby they avoid import taxes. When the drone arrived it had a faulty gimbal. I contacted Banggood, who were no better than useless to deal with, their e-mails were clearly automated and of no help whatsoever. Having resorted to contacting Fimi direct, who did try and resolve the problem, without success, I was left with having to return the drone to Banggood. Instead of returning it to Europe, I was forced to return it direct to China. Banggood return policy was that they pay for the return shipping if an item is broken or defective. WRONG, they only pay a maximum of £30 towards the return shipping, which was £76. They also expect the purchaser to pay the customs duty. STAY WELL CLEAR of Banggood. I agree the drone does appear to be an excellent drone, but I would warn and advise to purchase direct from Fimi if possible. They were helpful. Just as a point of reference, I have attached a link to a brief video I had to send to FIMI about the fault. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZO6k36OjtV8iac

WOW...excellence all around THANKS...extremely helpful to the novice and parents!!! Im going through most of your extended videos now taking notes...awesome job bro!

[@rogerthat9174]

For what it's worth. I had just submitted my formal comment with the FAA fingers crossed. My voice gets heard. Good job with your video as always. 👍.

[@tianjuliao3221]

Hi Mr. Steve, If you broke the poweregg they will still provide nice repair service for you The service is very nice I have a powereye drone and I did break the rolling case ( it is a big M43 monster drone) They still provided me a nice new case!

[@tianjuliao3221]

I was also suprised but powervision's service is fantastic, 100 times better than DJI's

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great! That is good to know.

[@lxlrvfx1764]

GOT TELLO YAY!! saving for something like the evo or evo 2 not a fan of geo fencing! I think when it comes to dji you pay for the drone AND the brand if u know what I mean

[@wissell4287]

SlipperyGamer the eco looks amazing!!

[@marcusoliver8261]

You are probably the best reviewer on you tube for drones Great job! Just one note, I bought a defective JJRC X9 from only to find out that on their site there is no return policy for drones.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

My video about buying drones from CHINA covers this issue. If you try to return it the expensive is yours & not worth it. The dealer you bought it from may give you a credit at minimum.

[@jeffjensen2457]

Always enjoy the annual preview of ‘the drones of the upcoming year’. The Capt. does a great job making it easy to check them all out for yourselves!

[@garrygemmell5676]

Most important thing most reviewers miss out of rme is the max distance - I dont want a 100 mtr drone i want 1km/1000mtr or more! Beast SG906 is the one I am looking at!

[@controlgomez818]

Nice intro CD Happy Monday everyone

[@olliechristopher467]

Hi there Sir, Thank you so much for your reviews. I am a beginner and want to start off cheap to see if I'm going to use one on my camping and motorcycle adventures.

[@johnhmaw]

Another great video. I also really like the new graphics at the start. If I may make one (hopefully constructive) comment, when the video started I made a grab for the volume as it was very loud, but then when you came on I had to turn it back up. I am much more interested in hearing what you have to say (because it's always useful and interesting) than the intro music. Hope you don't mind me saying that. Other than that it was another really info packed video and clearly a lot of work went into it. Very useful. Thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is one of my very old INTRO's from years ago. I do agree the volume does come on a bit strong.

[@bigosnation]

Picked up the JJRC X11 on ur recommend. Was $140 with 2 batteries from JJRC store on Amazon. Will update when I get it and give it a go. Great channel!

[@Herewegoagain-tw8mb]

Your making it hard for me to pick one 😂 what would recommend for a beginner that's good quality videoing and good at flying?

[@Bigma6400]

J C mavic mini is the king under 250grams and video quality is really impressive

[@poomaster2060]

Now this is a guy that actually wants to help you

[@The_CFM_2227]

0:59 Mavic Mini: * cries in the background *

[@Theredstonezone]

I would recommend a SIMREX X300C, it is £40, and a good for kids and beginners

[@rogerthat9174]

Hey. @ 13:36 the return of the power egg.

[@magneresjuan]

one of the best drone video I ever watched, congrats and thanks for this ranking ! Keep going Captain Drone

[@kirkmarshall6790]

I currently have the fimi x8 se.. I love it , been fun to fly so far.. took it to Jamaica and got some pics .. However if I was just starting out I think I would have gone with the mavic mini for the cost and features that I feel I would use most.. I have not used a lot of the features that the x8 come with but that’s me ... but I do love flying it

[@mikesaerial]

Nice set of drones captain.its good that you indicate if the drones requires 802.11 ac or not because other people just buying drones without checking their wifi phone specs

[@caddiman9834]

Love ur channel. Ur extremely helpful when it comes to drones. Thanx brother.🤙🏼 and happy new year.

[@elijahturner7189]

Great overview of low cost drones...Thanks...lots to think about before purchase.

[@Krom1hell]

And sometimes the cell phone is more expensive than the drone :))....FFS PowerEgg is a beast.....thing is that's not such a begginer drone (as the official price was in the beginning 1000E), but now it's cheaper :P (God bless Powervision) What i do not really like about the Powervision that it's hard to connect to my phone, but other than that, it's a great drone after it connects. P.S.: I've bought it from the Powervision dealership at 390$ with a spare battery :D. (not dealershit, but their homepage)

[@dr.dougdroneson4239]

Wow! That is quite a review! I truly appreciate how long it takes to make a video such as this.

[@vlogcrafter4740]

Please don't dislike we need a lot of likes on this video

[@edwinnegron7761]

why would anyone who is beginning dislike this!!!! very useful information for those beginning.... highly detailed information and all links listed....c'mon people Captain Drone went through it all

[@LonghornTexasFan]

@@edwinnegron7761 probably they're the name brand fanboys

[@rogerthat9174]

Jose Castro I am a name brand fanboy. And gave the video a big thumbs up.

[@TheGeil8500]

Thanks for your input on these drones for newbies. After watching your video I made my decision and purchased the JJRC X12 4K through Geekbuying which is a preorder and worth the weight because it was the lowest price on the internet. I mainly purchased it for taking pictures and video. Again thanks.

[@stevepowsinger733]

I see the selection is evolving in just the year that I’ve been interested. I don’t see many if the best sellers from Amazon from several months ago. I bought the Tello but was disappointed due to phone (S10) incompatibility problems. I suppose I just need a better drone. Thanks.

[@rebeccazegstroo6786]

Got me all excited about The Egg. Only used ones are available.

[@davide3129]

These videos have cost me a lot of money. 2 weeks ago I owned no drones, my third one, a dji spark, arrived Sunday. Wife was not so happy. I told her to email captain drone and tell him.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I will check my inbox :-)

[@kendrickmajor4218]

🤣

[@0690supermoto]

Captain Drone, check this out. My roommate bought her very first drone a few weeks ago and she figured the Mavic Enterprise was a smart thing to do. Couldnt freakn believe it!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Well, if she plans to fly it in PROTEST Marches in the evening or yelling out orders via the speaker, then it will come in handy :-)
