What about the pontensic atom vs Fimi
I compare those drones and more in this video.
What is the BEST drone under $300?
czcams.com/video/XMoL3msr2Ec/video.html
I have the DJI mini 2se, the problem I had was finding information on the camera that would work best for me. I did a lot of research on 2.7K verse 4K. Furthermore, I really don't know much about photography, so the information I was looking for took me to many different websites. I have cast my videos I have made to my TV set, and to me, they look great. What I have read is that 4K needs to be cast on a TV 50 inch or bigger to get the full effect of 4K. Also, I have read that there is some hype with 4K, but there are times it is needed. I wish you would do a video explaining in detail what the specs on a camera really mean, and what are the best uses for the most common cameras found on drones. Your videos are always very useful in helping people find the drones that are right for them, and to help get the most out of their drones. Keep up the good work.
Baby steps first. Gimbal control , Orientation most important . Something simple which youll grow out of it quickly . Say a XK 350 , a Youngblood Assasin , a Voltage 500 3D you know ,the simple stuff . Send it as far & high as the box states & Happy Flying . !!
Really enjoyed watching this excellent and informative review/best drone at every budget video. The more I research, the more the DJI Mini 4 Pro appeals to me. What an absolute beast of a camera drone, and so feature rich and dense in all phases. The tech and capability has come so far since my first camera drone, a Yuneec Q500.
Love the list! I'm mainly into 5" fpv drones but I do have a mini 2 that I got a couple years ago. The 4k on that little drone is pretty awesome. I'm definitely a big fan of the mini 2... infact having a great camera drone leaves me open to mainly concentrate on fvp drones with is my first love... soooo one good camera drone is all I need!
I agree. There are so many good options.
In my beginning, I was an RC pilot and flew planes with up to six foot wingspans for a few years at a local airfield. Over that timeframe I was told constantly that “you WILL crash and destroy your plane.” The trouble for me, was I didn’t. And after I got out of the RC Plane hobby, over time I found that my previous “never crashed” experiences had instilled in me, a fear of flying and crashing.😂
Next up: drones. When I bought my first toy one, no problem. Then next one, a little bigger. Still fine. But then I bought the DJI Phantom III. At that point this was a LOT of drone for me. Many things to do before flying it, all under threat of a crash if not done properly. Sub consciously I sort of went in reverse with my flying confidence trajectory. I started with the DJI Phantom III with all of the trimmings. I flew it only twice, being ultra careful. It wasn’t fun because I worried so much. But I didn’t crash, only sold it off to a friend of mine who liked what I had.
Later I bought the DJI Spark. I thought, “It’s smaller. I will be more comfortable flying it.” I flew it a few more times, perhaps even six or seven times. No crashing! But still, I couldn’t shake that “You WILL eventually crash and destroy your aircraft” mindset. So guess what I did? You got it right-I sold THAT drone to the same friend of mine. He quickly flipped that drone, sold it to a friend, turned around and bought the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Good for him.
My last move…I bought the HoverAir x1 drone. It was the right move for me. It cost a lot and only flys preset autonomous flight modes. It comes with a full suite of gesture controls. It is fully encased in a feather light framework which protects its propellers. You can’t really crash it, it might bump into something…perhaps get caught in a bush, but that’s about it. I have been happily flying this little “flying camera” for a month now. I have flown it indoors. I have taken it to the beach.
I took it on a two week catamaran voyage in the British Virgin Islands. There is no controller that comes with this little guy, which is far under the FAA weight limit at 130 grams or so. Small note: you absolutely can control it manually in first person mode in the app that is on your phone, and for less than twenty bucks you can buy a small micro controller for it, which I have done and experimented with. It works fine.
There is almost nothing to flying this little unit. You pull it out of your pocket and fly it…there is no controller. No need to even have your cellphone with you! Pull it out of your pocket, press two buttons and that’s all. It just lifts off of your hand, looks at you to focus on your image for a second, and then flys off to follow the flight path that you have selected. Later after you are done flying, you can form your arms into the shape of an X to tell it visually to come back and land…on the palm of your outstretched hand.
The best part of it all? I have overcome that fear of flying. I will keep the HoverAir X1 with me on any trip (whether a simple walk, a day trip or longer) that I go on, as long as there is good weather. Next up for me? I’m ready for that DJI Mini 4 Pro with the “Fly More” combo including the extra insurance against crashes. Who cares if you are reasonably careful operating it and its insured? Cheers everyone!
I've been wanting to ask you. Which would you recommend as a first drone for taking personal videos and pictures between the Fimi X8 V2 and the Potensic Atom? (I've only flown a DJI mini 2 in the past. I'm very worried about stability, wind resistance and generally not losing my drone).
Very informative. Good job.
Try the potensic atom. Just bought one it works great.😊
Great video, very helpful, straight to the point.
I am from hong kong and have been hiking for 10 years, its about time for a drone to capture those nice views and memories.
I think i will start with a Mi drone, which I wont be crying in case it crashes😅
The only thing I dont like is the time I will have to spend on film editing, I spent a lot of time on Photoshop before I retire, its fun but can be very time consuming at times.
Got my Mini 2 SE for $280 as a first drone and I couldn’t be happier. As a first time flier the low price point is a feature.
I've had my Tello Drone since 2019 and it still flies to this day, haven't needed to use a spare prop yet either. My only suggestion is to get a wifi repeater to use with it. But if you got the money for it, get yourself a drone in the dji mini series.
If you want to see what the drone is capable of, I have a video showcasing my best flight moments after owning the tello for 3 years
TelloFPV and TelloMe apps is also useful to modernize thr Tello more
@@asdaven1 facts, my go to app for flying the tello is the TelloFPV app
I have the tello drone. I purchased it because I want to use it for my school club. My club is all about photography and videography. I use my tello like the other expensive drones. Although I would like to have the expensive ones but I cant afford it. Its not my budget yet.
Good cross section of the reasonably priced drone market. Thank you.
The Fimi is a good flier but has some inherent aggravations for video. My 2020 X8SE has that video stuttering that you show here with the mini, plus it often has jello and horizon slants. All these are hard to edit out and also hard to ignore once you see the flaws ;-)
I fly both the 2018 X8 and the 2020 X8, with combined total flight distance of about 900 miles between them. No issue at all with photos or videos. Rock-solid flights.
I got a Tello drone back in 2021 and I still have it. During the holidays I got a DJI Mini 3. Working on getting my part 107 certification right now.
Definitely need certification for those monsters you are flying.
Yeah, I understand DJI’s geo-fencing, but when you’ve ensured that you’re gonna be flying recreationally and legally it’s such a pain to unlock☹️
You should look in to reviewing the LYZRC L200 PRO MAX. That might make this list. Would love to see your take on it. Without obstacle avoidance, it's about $100, with, its about $130. Brushless motors, 2-axis gimbal, and good video quality
I do a lot of large pano shots for offices etc. I find the Mavic 3 Pro is my fav
It is a great drone.
Skydio owner here.... what's your best suggestion as replacement ?
Cool way to bracket the price ranges. Nice job
Thanks.
What about the FIMI pro 8?
Great video !
Thanks
Thank you for your videos. The only radios I have are the Spectrums. I understand that I need another transmitter for these drones. Can you recommend a reasonable radio? Thank you.
They all come with transmitters
Thank you. I didn't hear that. Probably changed my mind.
Fimi X8. I avoid all DJI drones due to the flight restrictions DJI programs into their firmware. I like my hands to be the only ones controlling where my drone flies (or doesn’t fly)… guess I’m funny that way.
very good to know I'm now looking for one
I am about to buy my first drone, I dont understand what you mean, can you elaborate please, tks.
@@TheAaafirst Just research “DJI flight restrictions” and “remote ID”.
Same
@TheAaafirst All the DJI drones are geofenced meaning that your restriced on where you can fly.
Husban drones is where I started and I am about to buy another one.
Autell is also good in the over $1,000 range
What is a weekend warrior?
I’ve been flying drones since 2009 (before the original Dji Phantom) and never heard this expression before. I can only guess at it being a local dialect specific to your area along the lines of someone that can’t fly on a weekday or just causes havoc or annoyance on the weekends.
Someone that does something in the weekend only.
Possible origin of the phrase may have been it's use as a description of members of the National Guard and Reserve.
Just a suggestion is to change your white font color.... can't read it ✍️
What are your opinion on contixo drones. My gf got me one for Christmas and it’s the f16 seems super cheap to me and first minutes out of the box the controller light stopped working
I’ve made a few contixo videos. They are usually rebranded SJRC drones. Overly expensive on Amazon for what you get.
Great content. So on the Fimi Mini 2 - it’s $250 on their website. It is orange. Did you suggest that one or the number 1? Anything new in the sub $350 category that is better since you made this. I am subscribing for sure. 😊 Thanks
The DJI mini series are excellent options also.
Dude, I love the Dunder Mifflin shirt
Thanks.
Your good
Pity hubsan are so in effective at everything including marketing as their new mini sub 249g drone with 3 way obstical avoidance and 1 INCH CAMERA looks like they could have give dji and autel a run for the money 540usd 😮
Can’t even buy it in the US. Waiting for EXO probably…
@@HalfChrome that's true. You guys get an over priced rebranded version :(
Which one is the fastest? In the 30-40 mph range? Looking at Potensic Atom , C Fly Faith Mini 2 , the Fimi Mini V2, and DJI Mini 2se?
Why do you want to fly fast with one of these drones? None of these should be flown that fast. The gimbal will get pushed around.
Fastest is the RedBull drone that followed Max Verstappen.
If I wanted to consider this as a profession, how might I determine the saturation of existing pilots in my area (besides a raw Internet search)? Is there a more definitive database to search?
Great question
Keep it up half chrome 👍🏾👍🏾🤑🤑
Thanks
How does the CFLY record video files? To SD card? To phone?
Sd card
Do you recommend drone s95? And it's good for night videos also?
Not familiar with it
I could never get over the fact that the Ryze tello never had a controller available. Touch screen is good for teaching what the controls do, but not so much for building the muscle memory of stick piloting. It would have been fantastic with a controller.
Well you have the Gamesir Bluetooth controller of course. Which is actually a really good controller. But it's like $30. Now you can get a sub 250 gram GPS drone with gimbal and 2k video for under $100. So the Tello is no longer the best option.
What’s your opinion of the potensic atom around $400?
It is good
Estimado, ya vió que el nuevo C-Fly Faith Mini 2, está a la venta global? A mejorado mucho
Todavia no pero pero pronto
I don't know if you ever see this but the first time wanting to buy a car but I don't want to get something that's too expensive are too flashy I just want something simple that's cheap but still good quality I can use it to take videos and pictures you know
L200.
My questions i want get a drone that not super expensive something simple just take videos and pictures and have fun
But you can get the mini 2 without the fly more combo for 150 but u get 1 battery and no case
@danielgriffith8228 I don’t think so
Dji mini 3 is the best all around for beginners
@@ethanhernandez8736yeah, but it's still pretty expensive
The best drone is the world dji mini 2 SE
Hello. Newbie here,,,, looking for a budget friendly, $300 + - drone for my G-kids (ya right), with the best, easiest controls & features?
I got excited when I seen you show the features list on ONE of those drones you reviewed,,, I wish you did that for all listed.
I watched some of your review videos, & here are some of the unanswered questions I still have,,, (Newbies just don't know.)
I want to know,,, do they all have 'return to sender'? & 'Follow me' features? You didn't say or show.
How about LOW BATTERY? Do they know WHEN to come back? Or is that mandatory for the pilot to constantly consider?
Could you tell the drones to fly at set elevations? Distances?
Could they Automatically Go up 100',, down 50' at a touch of a button? Stay above trees?
Do they all send back pics, or videos to a removeable card in the controller, where I could easily view the pics & videos on my PC?
Do they all have 100% avoidance capabilities,,, like trees, TP lines, birds? How close would the get to say tree branches, flying through a forest? After all, I wouldn't want my G-kids to trash $300 in the first 30 sec!
What happens when a 'protected' redtail hawk grabs one!? lol,,, just kid'n. kinda ;>)
Excellent review for sure,,, but I didn't hear none of the above, answered. So I guess,,,, I gotta go looking somewhere else? :
So many questions. All drones are different with different features. Most GPS drones do have a return to home and some intelligent flight modes. Basically $300 gets you most of those features but not all. Check specific reviews on drones you are interested in. Shooting at a drone is a federal offense. It has the same penalty as shooting at a plane
I've seen some people say that Autel has some really good drones. Even some that have a better camera then the Mavic 3 Pro.
It is very good. But dollar for dollar the value isn’t there.
Autel dragonfish pro camera?
That one is expensive.
I also have one
I'm getting a Mavic air 2 for $800 NZD ($488 USD) and its got many accessory's is that good?
Yes
What about the Mini 2 SE?
It is fantastic but the Fimi is cheaper and just as good, if not better.
Not if you get on sale...jajaja.
@@HalfChrome
i flied the 100 dollar one to a wall 25km/h

I'm looking for a drone to capture 4k gimbal shots for Weddings and I don't hsve to register. What non dji do you recommend?
If you are using it for weddings it has to be registered.
finally a good channel without bla bla bla
Thanks
How much for the lot ?
You want to buy them all?
The guy walking backwards at 10:08 😄
Good eye. Yes. I ran the video in reverse
@@HalfChrome I guess the backwards driving traffic was a bigger concern. Just ordered the Air 3 and charger you recommended. Appreciate all your helpful videos! Can't believe the price jump for "Fly More" or the fact a power adapter isn't included!
Do people really abide by the rule of keeping the drone in line of sight when these can flight over a mile?
Where is the Potensic Atom?
Not on this list.
If the law says you have to keep the drone in site than why have drones that can range up to 5 or 12 miles? You can't see a drone that far.
Because signal fidelity is important. A stronger signal in a noisy wifi area won’t break up.
The law says you can't go more than 80mph max, doesn't mean the cars need to be limited to that speed
I want a drone that can do 100mph reach mountain height and can last longer than a few hours.
Try the International Space Station.
100mph and "mountain" height aren't hard, a "few" hours, that's getting out there.
do any of them capture HDR video?
Most drones $500 and up do
@@HalfChromethanks for responding!
On every review video i hear nothing about speed lol
who saw the cars going in reverse and the people walking backwards for the dji air 3
👇
you pronounced Xiaomi correctly!
Of course.
Really helpfull 🫡 thnx 👊🏻
This was not much more than a DJI Advert.
Can you recommend superior options?
