Very clear lesson, Kudos to you. I'm tempted to get a drone and am studying the recommendations of experienced guys like yourself, Jake. I have a lifetime of being an unqualified fixed-wing pilot (can do the flying and understand the primary instruments but not radio or navigation) and think I will really enjoy this in my retirement. Airspace restrictions are real here in Switzerland so am going into it with eyes open. All the best, thanks for a great video, Rob.

Excellent vid for beginners- thanks. I've got about 200 hours flight time and totaled my Mavic Pro twice. All good. One suggestion for beginners is to learn to watch battery usage. It can be freaky for a beginner when the drone returns to home automatically because of low remaining battery. If you have trees or obstacles nearby, the experience can be stressful because the drone is very difficult to manually control in RTH mode. Keep up the great work!

I took your beginners course, Jake. Just wanted to thank you. It really helps to have someone walk step by step through the initial learning curve. And it never hurts to hear the core cautions again. It can make a big difference just to know that everyone (even experienced drone operators) needed lots of practice on the basics and to have a roadmap for what I should be concentrating on and gradually progressing through. I've usually had to improvise, or compensate, for something unexpected at least once during my early flights and it is due to YT creators like yourself that I've been able to adjust and safely deal with the situation (except for one failed hand landing). But as well as building up muscle memory and neural connections, I'm re-watching any YT video with useful info on the Air 2S. I find it important to refer to my drone as an 'aircraft', because it reminds me of the potential hazard and safety issues that I am responsible for avoiding.

I've never crashed a drone. Perhaps that's luck, perhaps that's talent or perhaps it's that I've never flown a drone. I'm working on my part 107 right now and once I get it, I'll be revisiting your channel and determining if my instinct to buy a Skydio 2 for the feature set (tracking) is best for a first drone. After watching your other videos I'm tempted to get a 2S just learn so it's less hurt if I crash it bad.

I was in the same boat. I think the DJI stuff must be the iPhone of the drone world where they do a lot of the work for you. My drone experience was very similar. Constantly correcting it just to keep it in place. I just bought a DJI Mini 2 and I am hoping it will take a lot of that stability issue away. It could be that I am just terrible at flying a drone too! That has to be a consideration.

Great video..I’ve flown mostly toy type drones. I upgraded a little to a HS175D. It flies great and the photos it takes are very good, to me anyway. An issue I have is the glare looking at the app. If it’s sunny I can’t see a thing. This is why I’m considering the Mavic Mini 3 pro. I’m thinking the glare won’t be so bad using the RC controller..But then I fly almost completely line of sight. It’s confusing why these drones fly so far away, because I believe the rule is were suppose to be flying it at a distance we can see it.

@JakeSloan

Жыл бұрын

You are correct about keeping the drone in line of sight and at a distance where you can actually see it. As far as glare it will be an issue with any controller but there are options for small sun hoods on Amazon etc that really help a lot

If you really getting in the hobby and want a great screen, get yourself a triple tech pro 8 inch drone tablet. You can get them on Amazon. They’re about $800. They’re made specifically for drones they’re super bright about 1200 nits. The other thing is that you can use them for anything else that a tablet can do just like an iPad. This one also has built-in cellular service. If you want it, you don’t have to have it, but the tablet is capable of it. And you will have no problem seeing that at all even indirect, bright sunlight. It’s definitely an investment, but if you get into the drone, hobby scene, the screen is something that’s very very important to me. Matter fact, I don’t really like to fly If I can’t clearly see my screen. You can also use the tablet on all different kinds of drones.

Too many how-to videos for drone beginners run fifty minutes to an hour. You have condensed what I need to know to get started, down to twelve minutes. There’s a reason why I named my channel, “TenMinuteTrips.” There are way too many creators “droning” on and on about video settings before they even get to the basics of flying. I just purchased my first drone at the ripe young age of 67. I haven’t even mastered editing videos, let alone caring about dolly shots using a drone. My attention span is somewhat…WAIT! Was that a squirrel?!!! Great job, Jake! I subscribed!
