@@bens2718 Talks really weird.

This is a really good video. I see many vids telling “beginners” to pay $850 for DJI mini2 pro, but that’s such a waste for someone who has never flown, doesn’t know if they’ll enjoy it & isn’t a creator can deduct the cost as business expense. It’s best to learn on a cheap drone & see if u like it. Also I really like the FPV experience a lot more versus my partner who’s in media & has a big licensed drone for video production.

Thanks ....New to drones had an 25 $ from wall mart 5 yrs ago & gave up aftr 1/2 days butt a week ago I bought an 100 $ one off amazon & its great fun & love bc I always love to fly in small Planes / so ill be back in 3 months or before to get an top notch one Thanks

Great review, many thanks. I have Atom SE and I'm very happy but going to 3 axels gimbal. All the best

This is one of your videos I've been waiting on 👍

Would you do a video on various flight controller apps? That would influence my purchase as I like having a 6 Pack, compass, map locale plus live video. 4k E stabilize seems the optimum camera type but would like user defined settings for Auto Home /RTB say @ x% remaining power. Finally, payload lift amount? I'd love to have it carry an Apple track device as I've seen video where it was MIA. Again, screen options a big point for me

talking about the Gimbal, one important point you didnt said, that's there're brushless motor gimbal and brush motor gimbal, it's quite different !

From my 35 mm Camera days the 50mm lense was sold saying it is closest to the human eye. I fitted my cameras with a 28mm and it had all the peripheral vision aspects as well. What is the angle of these drone cameras? Would it be possible to adapt an external lense to achieve a better field of view like you were really in a cockpit?

It might be worth mentioning that even though most sold on Amazon cost more but if there's an issue for any reason their return policy is second to none and you only have to wait a couple days instead of weeks or months compared to Banggood. Some are ridiculously higher but some are in the same ballpark cost wise. Not to mention the packaging where Amazon usually ships in a box and is well protected, while Banggood ships in a bag quite a bit and coming from overseas gets tossed around and whatnot leading to broken or bent parts which is never good for a drone. Even if Banggood ships in a box, it still gets tossed around a lot.

Nice review of cheaper drones. My first cheaper drone was a bad experience. On the plus side it did motivate me to buy a better drone. I bought the DJI mini 2se fly more combo. The cost for the drone, insurance,SD card and tax brought the price to 600 dollars. I appreciate all the time you put into reviewing all of the drones on your list. Not every one wants to spend or cannot afford to buy more expensive drones. Your review gives new drone pilots a more budget friendly option to buy a decent drone. Keep up the good work and happy drone flying.

@@Matanumi You have some very nice drones. The DJI mini 2 and the Autel Nano. Having owned cheaper drones I know they do not compare to DJI drones. I'm very happy with the mini 2se. I just wanted people to know the true price of the fly more combo for the mini 2se. Half Chrome has flown so many drones, he's just trying to recommend the best less expensive drones that work the best. For me I will never buy anything but a DJI ever again.

Hey, I've found your videos to be very informative. I want to spend under $200 for my first drone and am looking at xmrc m10 drone, sg906 max 2, and the AE86 PRO MAX RC Drone. I live in the mountains and have some wide open areas to fly from my home, but also have many trees nearby so I think I need obstacle avoidance. Ideally, I want a drone that can fly and transmit up to 3km or further and I need a pretty good camera, preferably one that can capture low light or has the ability to adjust to low light.

Less than 2 months later and the prices are keeping up with the inflation we have all seen but don't want to admit to. Pretty much in line with the price of my fast food taco, up 30% in a matter of a weeks. But good video reviews.

I want to buy one but so many snd im so confused help jelp

My first drone was a Tello and I will say it lacks in video quality and range BUT I hooked up a WiFi extender to boost the signal between the drone and my phone. After setup, just plugged it into a power bank and slipped it in my back pocket and instantly got crystal clear video, photos and range was extremely improved. It's a good upgrade for anyone that goes with that drone. Now i fly a DJI Air 2S and don't have those problems 😂

It's not that the Tello is bad. But I don't see the Tello as a typical drone you recommend to someone looking for a beginner drone to fly around. Unless you also buy the Bluetooth controller. For that money you can buy a GPS drone with 2-axis gimbal, SD-card slot, couple hundred meter range.

Just stay away from Holy Stone, Ruko, Exo, or whatever name they came up with. They're all existing models they put their name on charge you twice as much. The best cheapest drone is the L200 Pro Max. Under $100 on the site that starts with "bang" and end with "good". Soon I refer to those site YT removes my comments.

Under 250 grams, under $100, brushless, GPS, gimbal + EIS, SD card slot, USB controller with screen. Great video quality for the price. You can forget about all the old stuff under $200. I liked it so much I actually bought a second one with extra battery and that silly obstacle avoidance thing for what it's worth. The KF110 is the same drone. And the G09S is little bit more money.

The cheaper ones would probably work better than the more expensive ones. I would guess, less crap about signing up for crap on an app and monthly fees before you can even access.
