The brushs would wear out before the motor. So brushless motors are much much better. I would have to write a book to explain what brushs do. Just always get brushless motors. They are better.

    I'd have to say the best beginner is Eachine E014 Windmill. Perfect for indoors, to learn and have something on those rainy days. Light, protected props, good FPV camera(720P), optical flow, and tons of app abilities. It's fast and stable. Light, so only outside on calm days. You might have to wait for a sale($20 shipped) but even at $35 it's well worth it. I've put it through quite a few tumbles and it still works great. 300mah built in battery charges in half an hour and runs for 5+ minutes with the optical flow turned off and recording to phone.

    I still like where I started at about $30 with a Syma drone. Very manual. Made me appreciate GPS drones. Yes, I had to endure a few head bowed moments as it ended on a roof, not even mine. But that is a toy. Next I started with a Bugs 5W. 1st GPS drone for me and I fell in love. Then DJI got all my money. Your videos are the best!!!

And when you put a $200 cap on the cost, then there aren't any which have a headset that doesn't need your phone. That headset with no phone requirement puts a $1,000 minimum price tag on it, that's just because of the cost of the headset, I have no idea if they even make them for drones. Anyway, it's never simple, that was my point. :)

  • @Sawta
    @Sawta Před 3 lety +22

    (Note: I read the description, as well as the comment made after posting.) I like the video, but I think it would have been a bit more beneficial if you could have focused on two or three "best of the best" beginner drones, and explained the pro's and con's of each. I get that you have detailed videos of each drone, and you wanted to give a wide selection, but for an overview video, I think it would have been more helpful to give a "glimpse" at some of the main contenders, with nods to some of the runners up. It's a bit daunting to see the amount of videos that are listed in the description.
    Just my opinion on the matter. I'm sure you have good reason for doing things the way you did them; just something to consider. I hope it didn't sound like I was being too negative. I really do appreciate the effort that you've put into this.

    Hi, I just thought I'd stop watching your video for a moment to get on my phone and add a comment. You know I'm just realizing after months of viewing CZcams on my Smart TV that you guys may not be as aware of my type of person as you may want to be. I watch CZcams on my Smart TV not my phone and you can't really see the links. Now if I was at the point where I wanted to buy a drone I definitely take the time to log on to my phone and go through your link. I think what you guys do is tremendous sharing your knowledge and you deserve the support that clicking on links may give you. I'm simply viewing videos to try to learn about amateur and entry level drones and what their average price range may be are part of the statistics that I'm interested in. But you don't really talk about that much when you're going through, so usually as a person who watches CZcams on smart TV I would just skip your video and move on to the next one. This time I'm simply leaving a comment to let you know what kind of you or I am and I fully intend to like your video and possibly even subscribe. But as a person who mainly watches CZcams on Smart TV I would be interested in you talking about price points more, or price averages. I just thought I'd let you know instead of just clicking to the next video. Thank you kindly

I started out with a KK 2 board and a X frame plastic wonder. After loosing a couple quads I soon learned how nice GPS was. Some of my old quads still litter my walls and I think of how much I spent on motors ,flight boards and radios and look at these $200 wonders and almost cry. My wife said I should have took up knitting. But in my later 60s I still love flying most anything. Cause fun is what its all about.

    Enjoy your drone passion as seen in your reviews. I’m new to drone flying and hope to use a drone with my beehives. The ability to get a closeup view of trees should prove useful in finding the best location. No MJX MEW4-1 listed yet. Why pay $1,500 when a $300 drone will work just as well? What happens when you lose or crash your $1,500 drone? (my rant)

      CZcams is so full of bullshit content. Why would you want to share a video with phrases like "Let me just put this closer to the camera so you can see it.". Just edit this crap out... Plan what you want to film beforehand. This is so ubelievably sloppy for someone who wants to be taken seriously.

      @@theultimatesuhak It's probably just a matter of editing convenience to leave that in, resulting in fewer cuts. I'd consider reviews based on actual experience more important than the quality of the video editing.

    Bought the BUGS B4W because of this video. Flew it for the first time today. Used auto launch and it floats in the exact same spot for the 5-6 min I spent studying all of the display features and options. Then I sent her up 400 ft did video and a couple still shots. Then at that height I traveled maybe 1/4 mile away. Hit return to home and it came back and landed exactly on the 18”x18” pad I used. I’m so happy! One important hint. Make sure you set the height for Return to home so that it’s sure to be higher than the tallest object near you. Trees, towers, poles, and buildings. It’s sure to arrive home safe.

    Great set of "reviews" but I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Upair One. I have one and find that it does just about everything that some more expensive drones do. It is reliable, easy to fly and perfect for the novice drone flier, and to top it all I got mine for £100 (GBP). Maybe you could do a review on the Upair One some time, it's well worth looking at!

    Thank you for this video. I bought a dji phantom 3 standard as my 1st drone and that was an expensive mistake. The price at the time was 500. Broke the camera in a week. Fighting with the screen instead of flying line of sight. I will never trust anyone who recommends a DJI drone for someone who has no experience. Learning how to fly 1st then upgrade. Great job brother 👍👍👍👍

      Speaking of which. The camera is not worth replacing. Where is the best place to put a go pro on it. Camera is still on but does not connect. I don't want to interfere with the GPS signal and no videos on youtube that go over this issue of a broken camera on the dji phantom 3 standard. Opportunity for u how many people still have one with no camera

      The GPS is on the very top and the compass is in one of the legs. A GoPro would have to hang in the location of the existing camera.

Once I'm confident flying, I'll come back to this video to decide on a final purchase on what's available here! Thanks for this video!

      Most of the MJXRC drones will let you fly and record video or take photos without a phone. Of course you can't see what you are filming until you land and review the footage.
