Those who never make and post a CZcams video of quality are quick with the Thumbs Down. I personally know that this video took you quite some time to make. Your time and energy are appreciated by 99.9% of us. Great info here! Thumbs way up! 👍
Thanks for that! it is very much appreciated!
Yes I appreciate all the help I can get. I'm just stuck linking my controller with the drone
I bought the Mavic Mini based somewhat on your recommendation in past videos. I love it!!!! What an awesome little drone!!!!
I've had the mini2 for about a month. I'm so hooked, probably getting the air2 this spring/summer. BIG into photography. SLR/D-SLR since the late 70's. Wanted to extend my photography skills. Started with the mini2 and am HOOKED!
This is a fantastic insight into the range of drones available for the given price points and the capabilities. Nice job Steve! I have a Mavic Air 2 myself and it's a fantastic drone for the price and performance:-)
Excellent job, Steve! I really appreciate your videos -- and this is a fantastic summary of all the reasonably priced and high quality drones that are available right now. Great work!
Much appreciated!
Steve, I so love your videos. Not only are they very informative, you make them fun. Your zest for life and the passion you have for drones always leaves me feeling very good about life. And for that I offer an extra big thank you. Keep flying my friend and please never forget to keep doing what you are doing and to stay special.
Wow, thank you Carl!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. It’ll be my first drone, I’ve flown cheap helicopters and was good at it but now I don’t want to Waiste money but want extreme value with less frustration. Txs.
Another great review video capt . Thx and happy holidays !
Another great video.
In my opinion you are the best drone reviewer on CZcams.
Even though I am not in the market for a $1,000 to $5,000 drone I would love to see a review on what's available.
All the best for a happy and healthy holiday season.
Cheers
Thanks for putting the Flight Restrictions on your reviews! Let's face it there's a LOT of newer droners that make THAT a priority!!
Really love the video. My personal fav would be the mavic mini 2. The controller that comes with is amazing
DJI new ocusync is by far the best out right now. 6 miles one way or 3 out and 3 back. Unbelievable!
As always very good video, and also very instructive. Thank you
Regads Geir
Thanks for the great info. It helped me make up my mind for a drone with no flight restrictions. Your the go to guy.
Very informative Steve, thank you so much! I hope to be able to use the info someday but not in the cards this month. I'm at the point that I'm ready to move up but I cannot. Again, thank you for the video as I live vicariously through you at times ;). Cheers!
As always I enjoyed your video, you are our Santa drone! Maybe our dream wishes will come true this year. May they be fulfilled for you too!
Wanted the Mavic Air 2 but went with the Mini 2 Fly More Combo. I like not having to register the drone with the FAA and know the Mini 2 will serve me well. Thanks for the excellent reviews on both!
Great info as usual.
Keep up the good work
The fimis is getting better! Last update was for the tracking and follow me mode. And in really impress! Before it couldn't even follow me.. And now it can follow my car easily while having fun in the snow!! Really good!
Great potted review. I still occasionally fly my original Zino and Zino Pro, but I LOVE my Mavic Air 2; its awesome and worth every penny!👌👍😃
Hi Steve,
Following your advice I purchased a year ago Hubsan Zino, as my first drone. I am very happy with it and for now I do not plan to get any other drone. It fits perfectly my needs.
Said this; thank you for the video. I am really pleased that you did not change your opinion about Hubsan Zino as one of your favorite drones.
Regards,
Richard
Great to hear!
Great video my friend. Nice way to break it down for us viewers. Just bought my first drone (it was the tinyhawk 2 freestyle fpv drone) so i can learn how to fly and stuff. I am looking to purchase a DJI picture drone though. So hopefully I can do that sometime soo. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for all of the information you put out here.
Found 2 Drones I believe someone forgot to put in their car as Drones were on edge of parking space. 1 little one at 4 inches radius an AD Drone and 1 bigger 1 ( Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite Edition ) at 2 feet across 2 feet wide or 4 feet radius I believe. Little one works but controlling is not for kids and more like a pilot in helicopter controls. Big one I need a battery and charger which I will buy on next payday. Never really into due to $$$ but since I found these 2 Drones, enthusiasm has put me into my new hobby. Im hooked and find it very fun and interesting to upgrade or even built on if I can. Love these and addicted..
another great video of information Steve
I have DJI Mavic Air, and DJI Spark...I kind of prefer the Spark even though it's 2 axis Gimble. Still haven't used all the features in either but wow! What a blast ! The GPS alone is insane. Though flying in sport mode REMEMBER that shuts off the sensors for object avoidance. I failed to do so and crashed the Mav Air. Fortunately it only effected the
Props in the fall.
The Xino Pro Plus looks like a great catch !
Hey Steve,
Excellent video. I have learned a lot by subscribing to your channel. I started out with a Zino Pro and recently bought the Mavic Air 2. Love them both but like you say, the Mavic Air 2 is just awesome. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear!
i like it and gave me more ideas about drones.... thank you Captain Drone.
Great Job Captain Drone!👍
I like the way you unfold and fold all the drones, lol...
Sweet
I'm so excited, can't wait for Christmas to open up my Mini 2 Fly More Combo!
Really good video this is, perfect for helping people decide what to gets, depe3on their budget.
Very cool...
PS: gonna fly my Mavic Mini today love that thing so much!
😁🌍🌃🛸🇧🇬
Thanks For For The Review👍🏽
Very solid reviews! Nice job.
Great video Captain!
Very informative video Steve. Merry Christmas to you and family
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I just got the Mini, turns out it has the same camera as Mini 2 (just upscale the resolution to 4K and it looks about the same). A 5 dollar Yagi antenna or parabolic mirror is a nice boost to signal range and the best part is that there are plenty of DYI upgrades you can do, if you're into that.
I love your reviews.....very simple but deep
I can appreciate the hard work you put in your reviews. Keep up the good work and merry Christmas.
Thank you!
Amazing review! thank you again for your all your time and energy! Recent subscriber but join all your videos new and old...well done mate!
Welcome aboard!
You must have every drone on the planet great review 👍
Thanks for the info, I will now. Love your channel your great!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
im still trying to save up for a drone to do cinematics, this video will help a lot.
Love your reviews
In my opinion anyone looking to get there first Drone be patient and save for one of these instead of the WIFI Budget Drones. All the nightmares will be gone before they ever start. I guarantee if you get a budget Drone at some point it will be crashed or flyaway and all the hassle makes them useless. I would love to have half the money I spent on Budget Drones. After buying all the recommended brands and being frustrated on every flight I finally got the Mavic Mini. On the very first flight it was like I just got out of a Ford Pinto and hopped in a Bentley. The Confidence alone was a game changer. Never a worry at all. Smooth as it can get. Don’t waste your hard earned money. Save up and buy Reliability Confidence and most of all Happiness.
Hhh
ⁿ0o0o
Mavic Air 2 BABY! Ya dig
I've got the SJRC F11 4K, as well as the power egg (the old one that looks like an actual egg) because of the videos you made on them 😀
Athan Datu Notice that you never see his wife ( he is the Colombo of the drone world ). So he probably keeps them were ever the hell he wants..... lol......
I recently purchased one of the drones on this list because of your video. Thanks Steve
Glad I could help
Fantastic Video!! Lots of nice drones to choose from. Thanks for sharing.. peAce
Whouwww that EVO looks awesome at that price!
Thanks man, I'm looking for one in this price range. Narrowing my choices down and saw this and the other drones under $300 video. When i get down to 3 top choices will run them by a friend who knows a whole lot more about drones than I do. I'm mostly wanting to know about picture quality, but hat doesn't mean diddly if the drone itself is a dud. Mostly want to use the drone for crane/boom shots in videos.
Really nice video as always 😉
I'm really interested by the skydio 2, Dustin Dunhill did a test with itx he goes off-road with his truck and the skydio 2 followed him no problem! Really great!
Thanks for all the info. I'm a retired commercial pilot and a newbie drone pilot. Your information has been spectacular, and VERY helpful. I started with the DJI Mavic Mini a year ago and have picked the Mavic Air 2 to be my permanent flyer - you had a lot to do with that. Live in Utah - love Canada - could use more info about cold weather flying.
Awesome, thank you!
Yes , please do the high end drone review.
The best thing on DJI Mini 2 is more powerful motors that now have no problem flying in higher winds, my Mavic Mini 1 gets wind warnings a lot even when not bad. Was getting 25 mph and higher gust on the beach the other day and still have not even had one wind warning with Mini 2. That was the biggest limitation with Mini 1 but still love them both 👍
Please be aware of the following so there is no confusion. DJI put the high wind warning into every drone so that if you crash your drone, they will review the logs and find that the high wind warning alert was raised and possibly deny your free repair claim. The warning is not based on the drone and wind, but rather the speed of the motors and forward movement (the drone then assumes if forward speed is slow in relation to prop speed, the warning comes on).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 wow didn't ever think of it that way thanks a bunch for info. The mini 1 comes on so easy, I am glad the Mini 2 is way harder to activate. Thanks again for useful info 👍
Captain, You are stand alone Drone rating system, in my opinion. After hours of reviews I bought my first and second drone and am very pleased with their performance.
Thanks for all the time you put into this to assist the Noobs and the Pro's with selecting what we are looking for in a drone.
One quick question. Did you do the kick ass design on the hoodie you are wearing ?
All the best to you & yours, Steve !
Wulfy
Thank you. That is just my Captain Drone logo on the Hoodie.
awesome info, thanks!
It’s because of u i fly with the Hubsan zino and Dji mavic Air 2. Best reviews!
Very cool!
i have 4 drones and its all because of your reviews captain. i plan to invest in another drone in the new year.so you stay safe sir and have a lovely christmas
That is awesome!
A thousand dollar drone for Christmas 🎄...... not in this lifetime.. If I been a really good boy all year I will be lucky to get a 300 amazon gift card
..well that's a good down payment for a mini 2. The last time I purchased a new drone. Was the platinum... so I am due
..great video has always
Save your money and get the mini 1. Really a decent drone.
Another great video Steve! Ok, question for you.... Zino Pro Plus or DJI Mini 2? Which would you buy first?
INCREDIBLE VIDEO ! Although I’m not a fan of RTF drones but this videos really equals to tons of CZcams videos .. better to name it ( the Dictionary of RTF drones ) .....TOTALLY amazing video .. btw.. I’m keeping the adds videos to fully play without skipping it to support the channel, I wish all will do the same . Best video for the end of the year 👍🏻
You are a suffer for punishment by watching all of them CZcams ads, but thanks!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 you deserve all the support 👍🏻
Love your channel, I bought my first and second drone after watching your review about the sjrc f11 and f11 pro and bought me two f11 pros.
Now I am starting to become interested in custom made drones with fpv or racing drones im not sure if it's the same thing...
So I was wondering if you can make a video on how to build your own or building your own custom drones?
Again thanks you and keep on making video's their great!
Happy with my good old Mavic Pro, Parrot disco and other planes with Taranis x9d n Fatsharks
Love your reviews, I have ma2 sc combo. Love it. No nfz (modded firmware) Thinking about getting one off your under $299 jobs for in & around the house.
Great show captain drone your always the best and so much Knowledge that is always great to know when your looking for a new drone
Thanks 👍
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 anytime captain drone
Great video 👍👍👍
Fantastic video! It would be very useful however if you'd also mention the sensor size and available colour profiles in comparisons like this.
Your videos are so cool!!!
Awesome! Thank you
Just got my c-fly fath2, vary nice, just wish it had landing lites like the mjx quad's have. If they make 1 with lites I will buy it for sure, it fly's vary nice 🙂
Nice to see the Anafi still there.
Thanks for your videos. My wife and I are getting one of these, hopefully a DJI 🤩 Waving from The Bahamas
Cool video keep up with the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Great video, Steve.
Thanks 👍
I just bought the DJI Mini 2 and Air 2 as my first drones, both are incredible.
Wow.. You started right at the top!! Both great choices!
Gotta have $$$$$$.lots. Of it
Rick, what a cool way to stuff as many ads as possible into one video. This one should definitely increase your check from CZcams for the next few months.
If only, if only. If you have not been following CZcams, they no longer care what CONTENT CREATORS do with ADS. CZcams just takes over and places ads wherever they desire. As for money..... Ha ha ha ha aha aahahahahahaj. baaaaawwwaaaaaaaaaa. CZcams has cut all of that as well. You'll soon see less content creators on CZcams.
I have a Mavic Mini (not the 2) and it can't take more than the slightest breeze. I had one flyaway, and after replacing I've been more careful, but had a close call. I'm looking at the air 2s but the zino and mini2 are appealing for that throw it in the backpack portability!
Caption drone,your spark video about hiking was instrumental in me actually getting into drones and buying my very 1st drone the DJI spark last month and this month DJI tello.
Great!
I have a DJI Mavic 2 zoom. I bought a mini to take hiking, throw in my cargo pocket. Also just my personal opinion is the mini two has a remote that is overly sized for my application.
I have a mavic air 2. Love it so much
Me too mavic air 2 ALL the way
G Captain, that's a great round up of compatible machines.
The 2020 SE has 8 Km range, I think the 2020 had the 5 Km range
That Zino 2 plus looks the goods and I reckon value for money too.
Sorry, I read off the wrong SPEC sheet for the FIMI SE 2020 X8.
Great shopping list. I just bought my first DJI ...the Mini 2. After purchasing an MJX B7 and waiting over 5 months for a replacement for a defective original I broke down and bought a DJI. You seemed to prefer the Mavic Mini over the Mini 2 but forgot to mention the increased wind resistance of the Mini 2 over the Mavic Mini due to slightly stronger motors and played down OccuSynch which is much more reliable. I chose it also because of the controller, never did like the phone at the bottom. I am a registered pilot with Transport Canada so the less than 250g only appeals to me for portability and less red tape as in logging my flights etc. Can't wait for spring.
$$ Value wise the MAVIC MINI is currently a better deal (when it is on sale). Eventually once all MAVIC MINIs are gone, it won't be around any longer. If you have not seen my WHY I LOVE THE MINIs video, check it out and it will explain why the Mini 2 is better in the wind.

Happy New Year 🎇
Happy new year
Hey we hit 24 degrees here in north central Florida, got a taste of the Canada coldness
im getting the mini for my birthday yay
Although not a client but fun to watch, thanks Steve.
Great review Steve as usual. I have had the Mavic Air 2 for about six months now and it is fantastic. Keep up the great work. Your the man..
Thanks 👍
AWESOME JOB CAP!!!
Thanks!!
Captain Drone, First I want to thank you for the awesome drone vids!! My question is between the Autel Evo and the Mavic Air 2. I’m leaning towards the Evo simply for the camera and the absence of flight restrictions; however I don’t want to make a purchase that will be outdated in near future....Can you help? Is the Evo I a purchase I can live with as my first investment drone?
its trully great..i wish have that one
Nice one sir always watching from UAE i love drone but i don't have one and it is really hard for me to get one shout out to all drone owners stay safe and God Bless every one.
Mavic mini will always be my favourite
Great video, very intuitive especially when I don’t want to spend a fortune.
awesome video.
I love it!
This is an excellent review of a wide range of drones. I'm glad that you touched on the issue of software-driven flight restrictions. While well-intentioned, DJI's FlySafe 'feature' is a total pain when it over-rides authority given by national agencies. #DJI #FlySafe. One thing that you didn't mention was whether the drones have the necessary approval in Canada for Advanced Operation. That might be important to some subscribers.
I think those with an ADVANCED RPAS Certificate in Canada would have researched such information... If not, we are all in for a world of hurt.
the best drone reviewer all common sense
Thank you Steve for the great compilation review! I was checking on the Canadian site for authorized drones - if you have an advanced drone pilot licence - and all but the Hubsans can be used in Canadian controlled airspace. Looking at the Parot, Fimi and Autel as they do not have blockers, but will first keep practicing with my HolyStone and JJRC before making that move!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Vihaan Jaxxon Instablaster ;)
@Theo Richard thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Theo Richard it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Vihaan Jaxxon you are welcome :)
Have you messed with thermal imagery for drones I would love to see some videos on this.
I got the Mavic Air 2 when I turned 30 about 7 months ago as my first drone ever based on all the reviews like yours that calls it the best drone under 1k. Been so busy with work and worried about crashing that I’ve only flown it a few times. Now that I’ve been researching more I’m really interested in the Skydio 2 since I’m a very active person and want to use it for a lot of running and even cycling videos: would you recommend I sell my Mavic Air 2 and get the Skydio 2 or would it be a downgrade? I’m debating wether I should keep or change to the Skydio 2. Great reviews as always good sir
