Where are you filming?! It’s so gorgeous out there
The first drone kept chasing me yesterdayđ help lol
I recommend Mavic air
I’m not 100% sure I’m in the market, even though it would be interesting. But, one thing you didn’t mention except for the cheapest ones is the need to control with a smartphone. If I were to buy a drone I’d want one with a dedicated controller, not a smartphone app. So, that’s probably only available in models with prices I couldn’t justify.
Do they work with a tablet?
lol. What is the best drone? thats like whats the point to life, there is an answer somewhere if you look hard enough.
Look I’m just looking for a drone I can spy with
What do you recommend for filming city skylines and landscapes? I want to post cool videos for Instagram
Thank you
Im selling my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom in excellent condition for $1000 OBO
Nice video, just the right level of detail, lots of good efficient information without rambling on about unimportant things. The effort you put into writing and editing this was worthwhile.
I already got a DJI Mini 2, and it works for 90 % of the times I have to use it. It is used for photographing large archaeological features, heritage sites, excavations etc. Tracking, video programs and zoom is irrelevant.
However, I need something more wind resistant, and a better resolution then 4K. Any recommendations? The price is less relevant as it can be easily justified in comparison to the alternative of going up in a small airplane or the hassle of using a kite.
Do
Can you send one for me
hi half chrome maybe I can ask for a drone
"Drones- Where "Get Over It" takes on a whole new meaning." đđŒđđŒđđŒ Yeh, I am the guy who thought that up but no copyright, so go for it, tee shirts, caps, etc. mugs $$.
I donât know⊠looks interesting, and Iâve never had or dealed with drones before.
So Iâd say done thong on the cheaper end that I can control with my phone. (Aka fly via its camera)
I know absolutely nothing about drones but saw an advertisement on the exo Blackhawk drone and thought it sounded like a good buy⊠can someone tell me if itâs crap or decent?
Glad your doing this Iâm getting a drone on my birthday so I need to scope out which is the best and you just helped
I LOVE DRONES.
I just like drone shots and I probably just want to have fun, but also donât want to drop a lot of money for a drone đ€·ââïž what should I get?
I just bought the dji mini 2 id like to see the difference between dji mini and dji mini 2
Your a Drone master,thanks for your information đ
BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN VERY INFORMATIVE
mavic mini2 or mavic air 2
Good video with nice information at different price points. Thank you for this information and details on the drones, and thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing this
I was just using the holy stone which is very bad and I got scared lol
These drones move really smooth and stay in control, and steady. This one I had kept moving to the left and the video quality is bad. Pretty much, useless.

the past Amazon prime day offered the deal of DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo for $180 (and 194 including tax), meanwhile, it sold solo Mavic Mini version for $ 299…..ridiculously! đ
tello for me is bad because there is bugs 7 and Overmax X-Bee Drone Fold One that gives more fly time and range and better camera
Please give me a drone, please give me a bad drone, but please give me a drone in front of you, please give me a drone

I have dji mavic mini and its so goodddd
I have a tello. And a jet time SR-926. I have used the tello but not the jet time. The jet time drone uses an app that doesnt work at all. I open the app and it just turns itself of after 3 or 4 sec. So I cant use the app cause it closes itself
I have the Mavic Mini but I’m too scared to fly it in case I lose it or crash it, especially filming the things I want like near the beach and disused bridges.. đ
I wish I’d never bought it.
Mavic Pro.
what state is it that you are showig vidio from the DJI MINI in this video, like where that gazebo is ?
Shout out
If the drones 5g will it work with my a10s phone or will i have to get a fpv mantor
Thank you for your honesty on the affiliate links. A very nicely presented explanation.
I have typed drone model numbers and looked at specs and videos until I can barely think! I’m trying to decide on a non Mavic sub 250 gram GPS drone. I have it narrowed down to 4 drones. The eachine ex5 I found for $117. A mjx bugs b7 I found for $92 with 2 batteries. A visuo xs812 for $65 and a jjrc a353gw zw for $55. I have never flown a mini drone and all of these have points in their favor. Which of these drones do you recommend? I’m just basing this on reading the specs and watching reviews but aren’t all 4 of these drones about equal? All are GPS drones that claim 4kish video without gimbals and have optical flow sensors with basically the same software bells and whistles. Unless one is a clear winner I’m thinking about getting both the xs812 and the a353 as the 2 of them together are basically the same price as the ex5 alone.

What every your pricing when you live in NZ double it!
Can I have a drone pls drones are my dream
Whatâs your thoughts on the Nutel EVO 2 ?
i have hubsan x4 107c plus its rly fun i could say lol
I have dji mavic mini and i Love it!!!
EXCELLENT summary video! My only other question would be range, the Mini 2 has some diff/better system (can’t remember the name) that is attractive. Thank you for this terrific video! Subscribed/All!
u should update this with the mini 2 its an animal for what it is
Good vid. I like that you actually DONT discriminate against the lower end of the market because not everyone has the money for a DJI. Personally I fly Snaptain pretty exclusively (for the moment) as I have 5 of their models. But I am saving for the Skydio2 and I was wondering if you have had a chance to get your hands on one and if so…what’s your thoughts? @Half Chrome
If i can not afford the mini 2 is the mavic mini 1 still a good enough option?
It used to be a big deal to even try to get a $400 drone on this list but whenever you are employed getting the most expensive drone on this list could only take 2-3 paychecks and your there! I remember a few years ago I was gifted the DJI Tello as my first drone and it was a really nice drone, as of right now that is still my first and last drone but I want to eventually buy something on the bigger side but before that I probably need to unrust my skill and handling with drones like watching videos like this lol. But for all you 12-13 year olds who are drone lovers out there, just wait a few years and get a job. The second you get a job it isnât hard to make investments like these, just make sure itâs a smart investment and itâs not something you touch once or twice and put back down like itâs a toy you play with. If itâs a passion or hobby, I totally get that. But unless you work on a farm or golf course as of right now the only options I would say to you young ones is getting a few summer gigs like mowing neighbors lawns or pressure washing. Thatâs a good way to make a few bucks. As of right now I turn 16 in less than 2 months, and Iâm getting a $500 paycheck this Thursday. Just work hard and know youâll get there if you strive hard, guys.
This was a great video! Seeing footage of all of the different drones gave me an idea of what Iâll be getting for the money I spend. Thanks đ
