So...Jake Sloan..I purchased a drone 2-3 years ago and there it sits. Yep...old man 'afraid' to take the first steps. Thank you for giving me the confidence to go out and have a little fun.

@@otiebars32 Sorry to hear that happened to you. Hopefully, it wasn't damaged to the point where you can't fly it again. Try to hang in there if it wasn't.

@RobWhittlestone 2 года назад

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.

@neilreid2298 2 года назад

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!

@JakeSloan 2 года назад

excellent point!

@theemogambisfamily4949 Год назад

plz help get a drone

@tomlake6345 Год назад

Yes, Neil! Watching battery usage. Most UAS apps allow you to set a warning when you battery life is getting low - often with a voice saying, “Warning. Battery life is low.”

@CaminoAir 2 года назад

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.

@JakeSloan 2 года назад

Agreed and thank you

@SoundSpeeds 3 года назад

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.

@SunriseWaterMedia 3 года назад

🤣 You crack me up, Allen.

@JakeSloan 3 года назад

@fredread9216 2 года назад

Thanks. Always wondered about this. I use to fly 2 meter RC gliders years ago. This looks like a very cool hobby and tool. What would you recommend as a drone to get started with. Something not too expensive but not junk either.

@JakeSloan 2 года назад

I’d recommend the DJI mini 2. Doesn’t cost too much and flys really well.

@fredread9216 2 года назад

@@JakeSloan Thanks. It’s a fair amount of money but if the units a good bit cheaper are kind of junky and not capable enough. So be it.

@fredread9216 2 года назад

I know exactly what you are saying. Same thing is true with telescopes. Some things you can get away with cheap, others you can’t.

@MidnightAspec 2 года назад

Good presentation. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to keep my Amazon drone from drifting away or overcompensating the inputs. Grew frustrated enough to give it away to a relative.

@JakeSloan 2 года назад

Dang sorry to hear that

@marshallnoise3557 2 года назад

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.

@daviddraper6240 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@rasronin Год назад

Maybe try one of those anti glare screen protectors.

@joeglennaz Год назад

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.
