    I paid about $148.00 USD but I bought the "FLY MORE" package as it's called and boy am I glad I did. For what it is andbwhat I need it for right now holy cow what an impressive little quad. If you're looking for a "TRAINER/BEGGINER" photographic and cinematic drone this is definitely a great option! Captain thank you for your content, honesty, and encouragement! You're amazing and you're just one of the few co tent creators in the hobby that keeps me pushing on with my drone hobby! So to that I say thank you and I look forward to more content from you!

    This is a very good "starter" drone. If you're new to drones and flying, you can buy this one and learn the basics for a decent price. When you're ready to start recording, buy a drone that's good for it. Also this one has a long flight time, which helps.

  • @Bondiblu2
    @Bondiblu2 4 года назад +5

    After watching several YT vids, I finally broke down and bought the Mavic Mini ... and nearly lost it 3 times largely due it not having front or back sensors. And while $460, in the grand scheme of things, isn't a lot of money, losing it to a tree would have been down right painful. So with the 15% Best Buy "restocking" fee (about $75) in mind, I reluctantly returned it. I then purchased this one from Banggood. At checkout, it said to expect it by September 22nd, but it arrived within a week and a half. A nice surprise. It sure looks like a Mini - and from afar, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. But after flying the DJI, this is like going ten steps backward. It is so unstable even with the slightest breeze -- and even with no breeze -- like inside -- it cannot even hover on one spot. I have to constantly do inputs just to keep it from drifting. And the effort to return it -- which I'm sure they're banking on -- it's just not worth to go through all that effort to return it, in my opinion, of course. While I love Captain Drone's reviews -- especially when he's attired in a t-shirt and shorts :) -- there's should always be trepidation to purchase anything when the person doing the recommendation is receiving a commission of sorts -- even at low price points. No malice or disrespect intended CD. And keep in mind folks, this is not a toy. It can cause serious injury in the wrong hands -- especially this one. Anyways, I would NOT recommend it. If you're bent on getting one this size, save up or "bite the bullet" or just get one if $400, plus, is a breeze and get the Mini -- or one in a similar price bracket. It's worth the $. For me, however, the Air is the only logical next step.

      @@gimpman1357 Same here, I got my EX5 among the first ones and I've not yet got Android App to work. Yes, it works for few minutes, then it crashes (on 5 different phones) and you need to shut down the quad to get it to work again. I didn't expect much from the camera, but video and photo quality looks like 512x384 with 8x8 boxes in it. But not being able to record anything (crash makes you to loose your video) or even being able to see the video coming from the quad, you end up flying line of sight. And there are far better and cheaper drones you can use for that.

    Why don't these companies add a 3 axis gimbal to compete with the Mini more directly? I would imagine they could still price the drone well below DJI prices.

    This is a pretty good quad for the buck. It has brushless motors AND optical flow sensor for all sake!! All other mini clones fall short next to this one. Now if they would have added just even a simple two-axis gimbal on this drone- it would be a done deal for me. I think Eachine did a great job with this one. And you as well with the video of course.

    Not having an SD card is a downer. Filming at 4K directly to your phone is going to eat up your battery storage space and your battery. I think its perfect for photography but not as much for video unless you’re only using it for FPV screen orientation, then it’s fine. Again for the price compared to an actual mini, you can fly it and have fun with it which the hobby is all about.

      You would be better off just getting the air 2 . Common misconception that its easier to learn on cheap drones. Exact opposite. If your goal is the air 2 you will waste your money buying these types of drone. And won't get anywhere near the same experience.

      Thats what im trying to tell you ..these cheaper drones won't give you a feel for how a real drone is . Its a waste of money and time . I found out personally because I felt the same way as you . They are practically not even the same things . You are 100 percent more likely to crash and not even get a feel for what its like to fly with a drone on a cheap one than you ever would be with a quality machine. Just trying to save you some money and aggravation.
