Build a Drone Part 1 - Select Components 

Your balance between simplicity and detail in conveying knowledge is amazing.

I've watched over a hundred drone build and review vids and none of them explained with as much detail and knowledge as this one. This is great.

Please keep posting videos, most kids make youtube videos these days just for money. They look up how to do everything online and throw some well edited, skim-over video together. People like you need more views, you know what your talking about and have much more educational value to offer. Thank you sir, very much.

Wonderful descriptions. This was very professional and extremely helpful. Thank You!

This is an awesome video with the most comprehensive and simplified explanation. Thanks!

The best video available on youtube on this topic. Blesss you brother.

Awesome , The Way You are Telling about the details . Greatly Appreciative

Great descriptions, giving necessary details in a clear way. Thanks a lot! Appreciated very very much :)

Sir... Thank you so much for teaching us.. I learned a lot... though you can't earn money from your effort for teaching... you still do it Thank you so much and God Bless Sir!

Thank you for making this video. I'm planning to build a cheap drone that can carry a good camera to film aerial footage for my cycling channel. This sure helps.

Really like how he explains things.

Very professional video - I'm downloading the rest of the series to keep as a reference I'd like to see a new batch of videos on building a hexacopter - I think they may be superior to quadcopters

Thank you! Exactly the kind of explanation that I was expecting!

I didn't know how badly I needed this video

Subscribed within the first 5 mins. Love the channel!

Its is brilliant and simple explanation, Most difficult task in the world is to explain complex phenomenon in simple way and you did it,

Excellent Video. Really appreciate the eCalc website. On to Part 2

Thank you- good clean narration. Organized though no stupid music and speedy video. Thank you!

Happily subscribed......I felt like sitting in my aeronautics class....that informative your video was

the most helpful lecture on youtube on this topic

Great explanation with more simplicity

Quadcopters for engineers! Thanks for presenting subject from a deeper technical perspective. You've cleared up several questions I've had. Was getting tired of the content provided on RU-vid by "drone bros" who clearly don't understand much of what they are presenting.

Very helpful information. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I am going to watch the other 2 videos and make little investment in buying these parts. Hopefully I can get to fly soon. :)

I have a question about a parrot bebop 1. I have one but it lacks on flight time. Is it possible to upgrade to a better battery? If so what battery should I use? It currently has a 11.1v 1600mah. Thanks in advance

Extraordinarily Well Done & Thks

Thank you sir, highly appreciated.

Thank you for making this!

I enjoyed your video.. very informative. I'm in the process of picking out all the components for my project. I plan on going with the least expensive components possible for this first build, just in case I make any mistakes ( fry the components) thanks for the video like I said very helpful.

thanks for this awsome knowledge

So my question is this. I was planning on buying the shell an already existing drone (like a mini Mavic or similar) and just adding the components that I wanted into it. would that work? and how would I calculate the size of the motor etc needed as the motors size used in the oe drones aren't listed.?

Nice and very interesting video you make... Did you also make part 5?

1.21 Gigawatts... Great Scott!

excellent detail and description

Hello, I am new to building a drone or even owning a drone. I enjoyed you video and am going to watch the rest of the series this coming week. My sole purpose in learning how to build and fly a drone is for surf fishing. After watching your video I can now see myself expanding the use of a drone in my daily activities. Since my primary use will be taking my bait out further than I can cast the drone needs to be able to carry 3-5 lbs. 3-5 lbs. is a lot for a rig. I want the drone to be able to carry 100% more than the rig I am using because of the wind normally found at the beach. I believe that I will need the extra power to fight the wind. I will need to watch this video a few more times before I commit to purchasing the different parts I will need. I am considering making the frame out of wood since I already work with wood. Sorry for rambling on, it is well past my time to hit the hay.

can u tell me how did you make that mini drone,like what parts have you used to build it....pls reply soon.I will be waiting for you.

Amazing, thank you :)

Hello, what is the model of the 3D printer you have? shown in the back of your office space. How is that working for you?

Wonderful explanation

Superb video grand father

Thanks for the links

SHOULD HAVE A MILLION VIEWS. YOUR EXPLANATION SIMPLIFY THE TECHNICAL DETAILS OF DRONE PARTS,

Are you available for private consultation? I have an incomplete build that I would like finished professionally. Your videos are wonderful!

Hello sir Does this drone has an altitude hold and can it perform flips? Please tell...

I want build some cheap drone with 3-4 km long range. I have not expirience with this joob. Hao mutch coast me that drone and where can i find some video steap by steap

A very knowledgeable video

Great job! Thnx for your effort!

Great video! I have a question though. For the ESC is there a problem having a 35A instead of the 18A you had in your video? Or is it the higher the better?

Most people use 4 ESC, for each motor one. But there are 4 in 1 ESC. Is there a big different or why use only so less people the 4in1 version?

Amazing

Thank You So Much. I need your help. I built EVTOL that can take me up but I stopped at the point of choosing the type of motors suitable for the project. Pls enlighten me a little bit.

From where we can buy this piece for a drone?

Sir ,which kv's motor will be best for F450 frame.. Pls Reply I need to build one

So did you say you needed 2 motors? I though you would need 4 motors for 4 propeller

Exclent explanation! May you or someone here explain me more about the last graph? I couldn´t understand it 100%. Thankss

How much did it cost for this whole project?

I am new to drones and really appreciate your video. I plan to watch the others also. I just have a few questions. 1. About how much will the drone you are building cost? 2. What is the maximum distance from home can it travel. 3. How high can it go. Thank you Bruce Landfather

What is the size of the 450 plate?

Is it okay if i use 7A speed controller answer ne fast please.

Hi,. is it possible to build a drone like this that is computerised and will allow its instructions to be applied through ,,,maybe a uhb port, so that the drone will fly through and execute a list of instructions while flying outside of its wireless range and then return to base. Iam thinking about building an eight motor version, that has a high carrying load capacity. Also where can i get the components for this, can you recommend any types.

Please list out the components and where to find them in details

What is the name of the flight controllers?

Hello sir, I have also made one quadcopter. But could you pls tell me which flight controller is the best one which would make my quad such stable that it does move away even when wind is blowing.

this guy is cool

fantastic video! thanks so muc

Hi,is it advisable for a beginner to build a larger one like 500 diagonal?

How does It weigh?

Hi Jay, is it okay if i email you... i need to discuss am import stuff with you.

what motors and ESC need bui i plan build big drone dimension about 500-800mm and can carry camera,gimbal, or water 10 liter.

Thany you vari march😃😃😃

Can someone tell me what is the range of this drone

Quite-impressive (Occam & his razor would be proud of you); I have an out-of-the-box question: It would seem that a smartphone & a flight controller has just abouts the same sensors. Soooooooooooo a geeky retired physicist with to much too on his hands just might code apis/apps & emulate a flight controller just for the fun of it. Pls let me know what do you thinks, thks.

WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL COST

I want buy this components you can sell

I've been thinking to do a mod on my vious folding drone just want to know if it's possible to upgrade from regular motors to brushless motors

Sir please tell me if I want to lift 2kg weight which types of motor & battery is to be used??

please help me from where can i get these things?

hi I used EMAX XA2212/980KV brushless motor ,f450 drone what setting of PID can use

Please I am a student in Ghana and I want you to help me to make drone in other to use it to quickly quench fire on top tall building

Is an F450 100 gms frame good enough?

How much did everything cosr

How to control without any remote control

How can i get these parts

I also want to become drone creater

3D Printed Frames doesnt matter if they are small (like 100mm)

very nice sohel bangladesh.......

Teach us to build a vary low budget

Where did you get dynamite!?!

Where can I buy these components and what's the price ,I'm so interesting to build one, who can give me one as a surprice,I live in Suriname

Hi, I admire this type of content and I want to congratulate you for doing it. I wanted to ask you a favor, I am a fan of fishing with drones and based on my needs, (my phantom 3 is already quite old and asking to retire), I want to build a drone that can easily lift 1-3lbs and use the necessary amount of 18650 battery packs, 2 or 4 4s made by me. Could you advise me on a prototype based on your experience? In case you can help me, I could send you my email or wpp. Thank you so much!

can we use 1000kv motors

Hi

Are you saying I can power a craft with 2 bananas?

Why do you have dynamite

like too much

Nice job ineed to creat my drone kindly help me do so #BrianRight....
