I have owned drones as a hobby flier, for almost 7 years, just flying around my own neighborhood ,not bothering anybody ,but lately with all the rules they have come up with, it sounds more complicated than when I had my commercial helicopter license. MY Q500 4K homes in on the transmitter ,not the take off spot, on return to home it will come back, land and shut down with no input from me. I enjoyed flying and see it as a small plastic toy, not a full size airplane, like the rules seem to see them. I have not flown them in over a year because of all the scary rules. I am 75 years old now and it seems like every time I find a hobby I enjoy, they regulate it out of my budget.

That is really a shame as I don’t think they are quite on the level as a 747

As everyone knows, practice is very important for drone shooting. What can be recommended here furthere is while staying indoor you can get a drone simulator called SimuDrone. You can use your own DJI remote controller for practice. Thanks any way.

@paulvalois4927 Год назад

Precision landing is not based on visual information but on GPS positioning. The reason for hovering over the landing spot is to give time for the Drone to calculate it's position by using the avalable satelites in the area. The more satelites it finds , better define the landing position.

@51Drones Год назад

Nope. The final 33 feet of descent is determined by contrast detection. GPS only gets you up to that point, after that the sensors take over and match the contrast it captured at liftoff

@bucknaked1267 Год назад

New to drones and a channel like this is fantastic! I really enjoy your delivery of the information and it helps to see I'm not alone in my initial nervousness to fly lol. Bought a DJI Mini 3 about a week ago and still practicing joystick moves to get smooth control of the drone.

Ronald, I have flown for a few years and the most secure feeling is with the Mavic Mini 2. I have just gotten the Mini 3 Pro and letting the Mini 2 go with much afterthought. Very cool drone.

When I was a beginner, the landing pad was a great tool to practice manual returns and landings. One you get comfortable with that, hand launching and landing is much easier to do.

@codykane7742 2 года назад

I’ve been flying drones for a little over two years and didn’t really consider myself a beginner but did learn a couple of awesome tips from this video. Great job Russ and thanks for the help. I think I heard it 13 times including the two during your discussion of how to win.

@jeffspicoli6088 2 года назад

@jackgill2501 2 года назад

Russ, awesome tips; thanks from ATL

@jo2k459 2 года назад

Great tips; thanks Russ! Another tip for more control when landing is switching the fly mode to cinema on the last few feet. This allows for smaller and smoother moves to get it to land on the pad in case it's a bit off.

@up2somthng 2 года назад

Great video with information I am not sure I had seen on any other "beginner" videos - much appreciated. Keep up the great work on the videos, I enjoy your delivery style. I counted 13 contrasts, and I have fun flying my Mini2 in Central WA.

@brianharrisonlightscape360 2 года назад

Thanks, Russ, learned a couple of things today. I will add hover in place to my flight practices and checking the return to home point is something I didn't know you can do. There have been several times where there isn't a lot of spare room available on return and I frequently fly till I get the return to home low battery message. I counted contrast 13 times (a great way to get people to pay attention) I live in Cabin John Maryland and the leaves are coming back, almost time to start filming some town Reels. Thanks again I always look forward to your shows.

@gbower1 2 года назад

Russ I enjoy all your videos and especially these tutorial type ones. In the video you used the word "contrast" 13 times. I have an Air 2 and Mini 2 and have found that using the landing pad and hovering for a short time really gets the landing spot on. I live in Ottawa, Ontario and visit Florida in the winter so hoping to get some flying up here soon.

Great content Russ, I really appreciate the info I have no idea how many times you said Contrast, however I guess 15 times. Thanks for fueling my drone excitement! Corey from Wayne, PA

@TravelRN910 Год назад

I appreciate your help and information on drones. I have a Mavic Pro 2 and flew it for the first time yesterday. Nerves were definitely on edge to say the least. I set all my control settings as per your videos. That helped calm my first flight jitters. I am from South Dakota but travel year round. Retired and in my 70's but very active. Thanks again for your great videos.

Im still trying to learn the remote but love the setup. I also finally got a landing pad, never had one and love not having grass and dirt flying around during takeoff and landings. Take care and fly safe! Mark

Hi Russ. As always, great info. I use Landing pads all the time because I happen to be a bit OCD about keeping my drones clean! I think I heard the word "contrast" 13 times (and 13 is my lucky number!) but I won't feel bad if I don't win! One of the pads I use is the SAR pad from DroneU, which has great contrast and actually serves a purpose in a search and rescue scenario. I have a habit of adhering to the rule that 2 is 1 and 1 is none, a possible subject for a future video for you. I always take a drone and a backup to every job and every recreational flight. If you get to a job and only have one and it dies, crashes, or flies away, you just blew your professional reputation, proving that 1 is none! Keep up the good work and stay safe! For the moment I am in Florida, heading for North Carolina next week, and New Hampshire and Massachusetts two weeks after that. Just a vagabond!

@johndownen3237 2 года назад

Russ, the takeoff and landing tips are spot on. I live in Florida and the best thing to have is a landing mat when hand landing is not an option because of all the sand that you can kick up. Great tips as always and you said contrast 13 times…
