"It doesn't return to home if i hit this it just takes off to china" this got me 😂😂😂 6:29
same XDD
From high end drones to budget. This is the channel.
Love watching this guy, he's very engaging.
For any beginner stating out, you cannot go wrong. I remember four/five years ago drones under $100 were a waste of money. Many kids will love this, for sure.
That was awesome. Cannot wait for the next video and I'm strictly a Mustang Man. Don't lose Sight! ✌️
Now this is what I call an affordable drone. At least I can practice flying it and if I do damage to the drone, I’m not out big money. I have watched other videos on RUclips from other channels and the title says affordable for beginners and the prices at 600 dollars and higher. That’s not affordable. Thanks for the video this really helps me being on a fixed income.
L900 pro! Nice, 60- 80$🖐🏻😁
I got the S96 and had zero issues with it. It’s limited, it’s cheaply built, camera isn’t great, etc. but it’s survived being piloted by an 8 year old and it’s dirt cheap.
The S99 looks like a mild upgrade for the same price.
If it could link to FPV goggles it would be a winner for backyard FPV with the kids.
I totally agree. After owning two s96 drones that were piloted by a 7 year old and a 43 year old with no flying experience, I have no complaints. Yes the video is far from good but I paid 29 for each and had them in 2 days (Amazon). I'll try the s99 as an upgrade
Google cardboard with a cable, maybe
Excellent tutorial review video. Very interesting. Thank you Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
@captaindrone this is a prime example of how the Chinese can cram so much tech into such a low priced item. Yes it lacks any innovative tech, or substantial quality, but imagine this with even a decent HD camera! Personally I think it's a perfect pre stepping stone for new users before they move on to advanced drones. Im glad you took time out to actually do a serious review of a drone at this level. Cudos
I wonder if it can be modded to be replaced with better camera
Thanks Captain Drone. I bought this for my ten year old grandson for Christmas and finally had a chance to give to him. He loves it! Thanks for the video and recommendation. Have a great day. Don
That is awesome!
Hi Steve.....Looks like a good novelty drone. The return to home was 🤣🤣🤣.
Hi It’s nice to see these cheap drones being built with brushless motors less chance of motor’s netting hot and melting the arms off. Tip to new comers to non gps drones you have to keep vehicle moving or wind will carry it away. As you say for close flying.
Really nice set up
Fun video ! 😃
Cheap and easy !
Hi steve love your channel have you looked at the jjrc x25 not a bad little drone
Getting it for my son for Christmas. Hope it arrives on time.
Thank you again, Steve! This seemed too good to be true - four brushless motors for 30 bucks. I took the chance and ordered one. It arrived today, and sure enough, it has brushless motors! I couldn't buy the four brushless motors for less. Thanks again!!!!
Enjoy!
wow captain brilliant review
Thank you
Thanks for this show of a very beginners Drone... this is how 2 find a interesting Gift for Kids and if they like 2 step 2 the next Level... OK I would prefer a GPS one... thanks 😊
Many thanks Captain for sharing; it would appear the cost / tech to implement the 360 sensors is cheaper than improving the Camera / Video quality and stability!!!!
78 dollars to buy one if you live in Australia, once again the international exchange rates screws us Aussies over.
It's funny how friendly Australia is with China that Chinese stuff is still expensive there 😂
Cool for the price... something to play with in the house! Thanks for sharing👍#244
Oh my, $30.00 😮 cool.
Hi Steve My friend 👋😀.
A very nice drone and it's cheap lol. Has obstacle avoidance and brushless motors.
A great deal for just having a easy to fly drone or for a Christmas gift.
Thank you so very much and God bless you and your family always 🙏
You’re most welcome
Your videos are top notch!
Thank you
Wow. $17.00 off with your discount code! Thanks. Will make a great Christmas gift.
Enjoy!
Hey, thanks for the idea! This looks just right for my 10 year old twin granddaughters! They are always wanting to fly my drones when they come over. I've given them RC cars but they want to "Fly"! Just kinda wish they had a set of prop guards for this drone ...
The obstacle avoidance works great as long there are no obstacles.
Hilarious 🤓
The irony 😂
I always buy drone of what you reviewed. Thank you for very good reviews.
Glad I can help
I just order the black one (cheap) only 675 Bht. in Thailand.🎉
under 250 grams AGAIN !!!! the future. nice video captain.
Hi Steve for 50 bucks Canadian it looks like a good toy to play around for a newbee like me. Thanks for the suggestion and if anyone wanted better pictures an Insta360 would fit the bill nicely.
Incredible that they can make a brushless quad for that kinda money!
I am interested in the 30 dollar camera drone. What would be the cif price to Dar es salaam Tanzania?
I liked the multi button remote, no silly menus, no silly cell phones to pair /connect. a lot of the tricks were the same as my jjrc nearly a decade ago, and at some moments the plastic did sound very hollow in this video :D (i loved the idea that you hit return to home and it flies back to china > < )
look's good for kid's but i have one similar and it's useless nice to see you again Captain.
Why useless?
".........Its just gonna take off back to China"
That was funny!!!😂
By the time I got to the website, the price was up to $36.99US. But I used your coupon code and it gave $17.00 off the price. Sweet!
Excellent! Glad it worked.
Good evening captain cool drone nice review
Thanks 👍
Hi. Is the battery from S2S fit into S99 drone?
I like that you can draw a flight path for it to follow. DJI should learn from that company.
Did you unfold the mobilephone-holder completely ? I think it has a notch to snap in, which needs a bid force to move in.
30 days in, and this is the best entry-level anything that I've bought in my 40 years of buying anything with my own money. The Big Trak that I had in 1982 was more complicated to use. Even though this isn't the best thing on the market, it really is fun.
Today I added a cheap 1080p camera by using Velcro and sticking it on the bottom of the drone at the CG (the camera cost as much as the drone, and is very good for what it is). It does a much better job of showing the world (though not FPV) than the included camera, and doesn't impact fight time or control enough to notice. The only downside is that I have to launch and land from my hand, which is not really a disadvantage. I have a second one of these drones on the way, and the first one will end up being used to mod.
Nice one Steve, picking one up myself. For the price good for parts for project if nothing else 🙂
Absolutely
I like it
Just ordered one with your code it was 32.99 with two batteries. Thanks C.D. stay safe.
Glad the code was helpful
I bought the eighty dollar version take off the protective film lol still fun to fly
I read your comment Captaindrone and in a more old vid You talked about s9w drone that have rth function is small and cheap that's having one key return but i don't see you connecting to GPS,how IT works? It follows the remote control signal or something?
It is simpler than that…. It just does a 180 from the direction it flew out
Hey captain,review the S1S and the KS66 too.They are at same price and the KS66 has even aluminium frame.
how long does the battery last does anyone know? Nvm it like 9-12 minute
Haha, that flip is kinda funny, you can't hate a cute little drone like that at $30 it almost makes me want to buy it just for the fun of it 😂 At my desk I have my Mavic 3 at around $2000, but everything that fly I like.
You do review on the s118 drone
Great review. I have some toy drones that state it's using 2.4GHz, is there a way to bind and fly them with my Radiomaster TS16S 4in1 controller? Do I need a special toy backpack module? 😀
It all depends if they have a simple receiver in them from FLYSKY, Frsky or FUTABA.
This and other very low budget drone brands have the cheek to put the Hasselblad logo on it to make users think it has a 4K or better camera with a super sensor. In fact, the front of the camera is an imitation of the DJI Mavic 3 which has 2 cameras.
Why don't al those wifi camera quads lower the resolution (to decrease latency and increase the framerate). Than it's could even be useful for fpv flights.
The datasheet shows the camera as 480p which looks about right.
At least it has brushless motors. I've noticed that a lot of the low end drones are finally getting brushless motors now.
Ok, just bought a 2nd one on ur coupon code to get 2 more batteries, and like the bright orange color, tnx.......the camera looks limited, but just gt it for flying local, here in USA for $33.
Great! Hope you enjoy them.
Can a wifi repeater be used to extend the range of the video?
Not really because the video output power in the drone is currently very low, so raising the power on the receiving end will have improvements but very limited improvements.
Nice 1 Steve
Thanks
Love that HasselBAD camera they took right off Mavic 3 and sold for $30. Amazing... it MUST BE AUTHENTIC, it has an H!
😂😮😂
Plus.. my Mavic 3 Pro might have 3 cameras, but it won't do flippee's
Well I've pulled the pin and given it a go, discount code doesn't work for Australia but at the price that's fine!
Ordered and arrived. Pretty much does as advertised. Once again Steve has hit it right on the button..or buttons!
However I can NOT find a source for ordering extra/replacement batteries... or replacement blades. Has anyone been able to do that? Thanks
looking for blades myself did you find any that suit cheres andrew
Hello! Can the transmitter be switched to Mode 1 (right throttle)?
Usually these toy like drones can be MODE 2 or MODE 1 by pressing a few buttons.
Is there a drone that just wants you to fly and not take pictures? Thanks Steve. I appreciate the cheap drones, when you are not pimpin out my bad judgement. ❤ Watching from Michigan ✋.
Not bad footage
Very nice drone ! Unfortunately they don`t ship to Uruguay
I want to see an update video a couple months in the future to see how it has held up.
In two months, this drone will be $60 or more. The prices never remain low for long.
Can you explain more about small,cheap rth function drones please?
RTH only exists if a drone has a GPS. With no GPS there is no such thing as RTH.
Oh thanks cptaindrone youre the Best RUclips in the world!
In the old days the cheap RTH function basically meant it flew back in the direction opposite to the way it started flying. But no where near to the exact spot it started at.
@@TheFreakShow-ld2jr same feature here
Hey Steve i brought the drone now i need replacement blades can you please tell me which ones and where to buy cheers andrew
You’d have to take it to your local hobby store and ask for compatible props.
If they would have put a better camera in it and a little more range and charged $100 bucks for it...I think they would of had a real winner.
And add gps and 3 axis gimbal, lol, I'm now at 200usd
nice video captaindrone i am a beginner drone pilot i would like to no what would be the cheapest best drone with gps hold so i could pratice ground work with. such as flying squares patterns and other ground work.
Probably the FAITH MINI version 1 would be the cheapest.
You don't learn to fly with GPS.
i know how to fly i was talking about the gps hold on a light windy day to pratcise with.
@@MrTestpilot7What is light wind? 2 or 3? I bought an excellent L200 on Banggood. Has everything. Under 250 grams, GPS, brushless motors, 2-axis-gimbal +EIS, optional obstacle avoidance ( for what it's worth), remote with screen. I was really surprised how good the video looks! And it is under $100! Steal if you ask me. Best drone under $100 no question.
@@MrTestpilot7And if you need something that can handle wind force 4, 5 then the C-Fly Faith Mini (1) is pretty darn fast. Around $150.
its interesting how they changed the specs to: 480p camera, after you uploaded this vid 😅
I ordered this, it worked perfectly but the included batteries refuse to charge with the included USB cable! I have tried hooking it up to mains with an adapter, my laptop, an extension with USB, nothing charges the batteries.
Try a different USB cable or try a different power source such as a phone charger
Hi, do you have a code for europe? This coupon can only be used in Canada,United States
Sorry, I only received the one code
The motors are worth more than the whole drone. Get one while you can, and when you get bored with what it can do salvage the parts to build DYI drone.
I've had mine for two weeks now, and am very pleased. I've spent far more on an entry-level RC car (many years ago) and not been as pleased as I am with this drone. I'm currently printing a set of toroidal props for it. As I get closer to retirement I'm looking at small business opportunities, among which is a drone video/inspection service. This drone is a good place to start learning to fly for such a goal.
what happens if you hit the rth button?
The drone flies back to China
Just a question. Does the discount code expire sometime or is it forever?
Expires really quick. Sometimes they may last a month.
What’s the best budget friendly drone for beginners with 4K or 8k cam in your opinion? It can be more than $30 btw. Thanks.
No such drone exists planet earth
4k 8k is all silly talk. 1080P can look better than 4k.
Would it lift a GoPro or maybe insta360?
Insta360 yes. GoPro No.
Will the app work on an iphone 6?
I don't own such a phone so have no idea. If I were you I'd simply download the app now and see if it works.
Hi, what do you recommend for a mid priced drone say for around £150
Have a look at the FAITH MINI (around $200 US)
Cap long time channel advertiser and fan, Cap please try to remove that new SR-71 to review, I enjoy living my hobby Air Craft, and of course Drone fly though you! Long time no talk Keep up the great Content
Impossible to have it in Canada, it’s too frustrating 🤬
Unfortunately: "This coupon can only be used in Canada,United States" = UK :(
This is the kind of drone a I buy as a "sacrificial drone" when im planing a shoot and it's sketchy... So instead of crashing my Air2S or even my mini, I crash my beast 4k or even this little boy right there!!
Hi i have trouble finding this drone so i found a snaptain sp 500 gps for $ 28.00 on eBay and have flown it several times in the last three weeks and i am impressed. Drawback brushed motors keep fingers crossed they don’t get so hot as to melt arms , if i use iPhone I don’t have trouble flying it , android not so good , looks like they have gotten a lot better in the last couple of years, Last one I had was the sp 7100 The camo version and recked it four or five times landing it. Sp 500 Drawback no telemetry readout and got to stay close , i am impressed sounds like motor cycle you can hear the gear drive. Flight time not bad does way point’s pretty good. For money have trouble with it chuck it.
Aw man the coupon expired
and.. i just bought the s96 :P looks like i am gonna buy another drone
Camera shake a lot like it have statics
I assume no sd card to record the video. Guess you have to record to your phone. Not bad for the price. My mavic 3 pro won't do flips!
Could you attach a small go pro to this?
Nope
Cant wait for your dhji mini 4 video!@@CAPTAINDRONE798
The ir obstacle avoidance would technically mostly only work indoors not out and if outside probably not during the day.
Works great outdoors!
big shame his discount codes don't work in the netherlands, and only in canada/us :(
@@ShadowDoggie it's $30 usd not $300 lol
@@ShadowDoggie Yeah... that $2 is a deal breaker huh?...
What if you put DJI O3?
Then you’d have a $250 camera in a $30 drone
On criticize several drones at $ 30. Is he better than the other two that you did the test? Do you recommend it for an 8 year old child?
Oh, an 8 year old is certainly mature enough to handle tech like a drone, especially if they have been enjoying video games. This one will be more fun, but they may need to fly it outdoors so as not to mark up the walls.
Thank
Great video!
How long does the battery last and how does one charge it
I ordered one.
I hope it's not another " bait and switch " . Last time I ordered based on another review I got a cheap BRUSHED motor version.
If Banggood did that, they’d lose plenty of business.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798I cancelled my order.
Great review CD! Yeah definitely not a good camera drone, but it's a great value for giving to a kid to let them hone their basic drone flying skills.
Very true!
Can I mount a gopro 9 to it if I need real 4K?
Nope, much too heavy
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Thanks Captain!
The parts alone are probably worth more than $30. Don’t know how they can sell it for that price. By the way who plays the guitar in the family? I plunk around on one my self, but my instrument of choice is the piano. Thanks for the video. 👍👍😀
I’m a long time musician. Check out my old guitar music channel, search for JAMMAN798
Yep, I found you. Thanks!
Did anybody tried to power these cheap drones with 2S batteries?
RTH: "If I hit this it's just gonna take off back to China" I'm dead lmao 🤣!
Oh come on this is an ancient joke
