I would suggest a Simulator if it's your first drone. It will save you time and money. Hope it goes well, enjoy! It is a great hobby! If you haven't spent yet. I would suggest Iflight Nazgul5 v2. Flies great, and super durable. Props out!
@@airfriedquadsbw This is not my first time in the Remote Controlled world, I have an Scx24 build that I’m working on and I also like to fly RC planes so drones aren’t the hardest thing I’ve done, great advice and the RC community sure is a great one!!
Hi, just to say the stickers arrived here in France last Thursday. Thank you and a huge thank you to your wife for taking the time to send them out..Happy New Year to you both....
I bought an Inspire 2 X5S kit a few years ago for wedding filming. I used it twice because it took 10 mins to set up and 10 mins to pack down and was too big for the boot of the car with all my other gear. I use the DJI Mini Mavics now. Perfect for everything I need and takes less than 1 minute to be out the box and in the air.
Received my 3 Captain Drone stickers yesterday. I saw on the outside of the envelope it had, Hi, from Canada. I had no clue what that meant at the time. I started to open the small envelope and spied some red & black colors. My mind went to Captain Drone stickers. Pulled them out and was very happy and very excited to own some very cool Captain Drone stickers. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
Great 2022 review and also of the kit behind you to bring us content. Many thanks for the stickers which are now proudly displayed as I roam around the north of Scotland. Looking forward to what you've got for us in 2023.
Hey Steve, just ordered my AUTEL veo nano plus and it’s my first drone ever! My choice came after hours on hours of watching your videos! Don’t stop, you are very insightful and detailed!
Hi from Texas. I had a pleasant surprise today, I received your stickers in the mail. Very appreciated, thanks a bunch. I also wanted to commend you on a good year of helping us newbies keeping up with the hobby. You do a great job and I don’t know how you have the time to do what you do. 😀
Thanks Captain Drone I just started following you about 6 months ago and I'm so glad I did. I'm going to buy my first drone early spring. Happy new year 🎉 to you!
Ha ha, thanks. In the FPV hobby, there are not many pilots out there that are overly ANAL about one brand unless they are under the age of 25 (kid mentality). Now in the GPS Camera Drone hobby, people are very much in the DJI Camp against everyone else.
Terrific recap Steve. I have really enjoyed your videos over the past few years, and I have learned so much about the incredible world of RC vehicles as well as prosumer cameras. I started with many less expensive drones, then a Tello, Mavic Mini, Mini 2, Mavic Air, Hubsan Zino Mini SE and finally the Mini 3 Pro fly more plus kit. I am in love with the world of drones! You've answered numerous dumb questions I've asked and demonstrated great patience. Thank you so very much! I look forward to another great year of videos and info from your channel.
I remember 3 years ago when I discovered your channel, there was already a lot of clutter in the background. now you have to build a studio in the garden soon. Or you can let Colin Furze build you an underground tunnel. 👍😀
Hi Steve, Thank You very much. Received my Stickers today. I think the E-Flite CIRRUS SR22T was my favorite plane. It was soooo sexy looking. Thanks for all you do....... 👍
Glad the stickers arrived. The Cirrus is awesome and I fly it often. I left it off the video as I already had plenty of planes to mention (certainly was one of my favs of 2022).
You definitley did a few reviews last year and im almost sure i watched everyone of them as i injoy all your reviews as you do such a great job...looking forward to watching them this year
I got the CAPTAIN DRONE stickers today. They are very nice and well worth the cost ;). Thank you. The content in your videos is incredibly helpful. I currently have the Fimi x8se 2020. Once I get my part 107 license, I will most likely upgrade to the 2022 v2 with the tx 10 controller. Thanks for the help and keep flying.
I have enjoyed several products based on your videos in 2022. Love your approach and content. Just wish the dam weather was better. I have a bunch of hangar queens. Thanks for the video!
Hello sir! Thank you so much for all the product reviews you've done and especially the FPV hobby. I've started my FPV journey late 2021 and continued to power through in 2022, all thanks to you sir! Thank you for bringing the FPV hobby into the spotlight and giving out comprehensive and easy to understand videos, and I enjoyed them very much! Wishing you all the best in 2023 😁👍🏻🎊🎊🎊
A lot of great stuff, but I really enjoyed watching the Coast Guard helicopter? That's an awesome one. The sound, the looks? Truly a great looking helicopter. Thanks for sharing Steve. Till the next video, see you then. 👍👍👍
The ultimate "one stop shop" for all things RC Captain!; many thanks for sharing and a few surprises regards "in the background" Drones (particularly the Inspire2); it would be great to see a comparison 2023 video on the evolution of DJI Drones starting with...........yes, I know you know whats coming !!!! the Spark !!!!; regardless, great all round summary from your perspective!!!
Not sure what I can say always informative pleasant funny easy to watch with hands on trusted info thanks for all you it's a big world out there you help cut through B S thanks again looking forward this years products
hello, thank you very much for all the passion you share through your videos!!! and thank you for these wonderful stickers received this Saturday!!! long life to you and your family and sweet new year 2023 from France
Fantastic reviews compressed in such limited time. Great job Captain and thanks for the info which will definitely assist me in my RC purchases decision. All the very best for 2023. 🇯🇲🏆
Great video Steve. So true that there aren't bad fpv these days they each just serve a different user. I wanted a Chinera 7 pro but want something a little more agile so I'm upgrading my Evoque 5fd to a 6 inch. Hopefully I run into to in the spring to say hi. Been following you channel for years
Outstanding Review of 2022 products!! I forwarded this RU-vid link to half a dozen people. Others with similar interest just need to see just how much information you take the time to share with all of us. Thanks again Steve! Have a GREAT 2023!!
Thank you Cpt. Drone! Great round-up and Super edit of all the Rc and RC related products of 2022! Always great to watch and if you have any advice on camera editing and what you do as a revierwer to make it all happen, would be great to see more behind the scenes stuff on how to ceate videos :)
Thanks for the stickers and the birthday wishes. You have been incredibly instrumental in helping me grow in the RC hobby especially with drones. Thanks a bunch!
6:23 - I've been told it has to do with the way the drone is balanced. The center of mass is too high, and so if you get it in the right conditions, it tumbles. Someone said shifting the center of mass downward by attaching a weight to the bottom of it helps, but I have no actual experience with it. The only DJI drone I've ever had hands on is a Mini 1.
Coming from a plane guy who has just discovered your site, you really underrated yourself as a plane pilot! Anyone who can do sport aerobatics in an edf is NOT a beginner. I enjoy your laid back presenting stake also. A belated Happy New Year.
Steve, you present remarkable so well. Your ease and humor are infectious. That makes you the best 👌 Happy New Year! Looking forward to this coming year with The Captain!
Happy New Year Captain! Thanks for all the great reviews you have given us. Your opinions weight heavily on whether I get something or not. Keep up the great work and I'm anxious to see what the reviews will be for 2023!
Happy New Year, Steve. I just received my Captain Drone stickers. Thank you. Very cool jester. Good luck with your channel. You are Da Man. Tomaso👍🏼👍🏼😎
Absolutely awesome video I fly helis and airplanes I love and have the fw450 and the whole eachine line up and the whole E-flight line up for planes so much fun all my planes I are connected to the nx8 love it. Again awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍
Captain, thanks for the info as always! You are my go to for product demos and reviews,, will you be going “down under” and review any UNDERWATER drones? …..I will stay tuned as always!
In 2022 I did not review any new RC Boats. I reviewed lots of RC Trucks/Cars and many were great. My favorite was the one shown in the video, the ARRMA Fireteam.
very nice video ! you spend so much on hobby, you should also build your own where you are required to solder flight controller in the frame, configuring it and flying, that is real hobby actually.
The days of soldering and becoming less and less so I don’t show it anymore. New members to the RC hobby have little desire to solder so my audience would be very small if I went back to showing soldering flight controllers, ESCs, Receivers, Motors.
Thank you. I have very limited storage space so I can’t keep everything I review. Much gets sold so that I can purchase new products. Please note that I only sell items to local people I know, just in case I need to borrow the product back for a future video.
Happy new year to you as well. And thank you , for the hard work you put into this. And it’s really fun to see you grow from the start. And I hope you keep growing. You deserve it and I’m looking forward for all future reviews. Martin from Norway
Hi Captain D, thanks for your reviews. Would you be able to make a video to recommend best budget cheapest camera drones for 2022. like same video you released last year. Many thanks
This video is an awesome review of the products of 2022 that you use but you missed one product that you use in your videos and that is your video editing software.
Im a fan of your videos mostly review... I want to get the kf101 max, you think it can make good videos?... For starter... Thank you for sharing good videos...
For FPVs, I would add, stay away from any protocol that is not ELRS. If you're thinking about getting into freestyle or race, instead of analog you might want to go for the hdzero box goggles (fatshark scout or emax transporter 2).
