lol good deal. Thanks for watching and for the support. I guess the main reason we don’t compare them to DJI is they don’t have a real shot but it’s definitely fun to try new drones. God bless!!!
Another great killer drone and it's lite I want your truck Kev - just love Amanda I think I'll give it a miss - many thanks for sharing the fun of flying
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for the support, brother. We do get a wide variety of drones to test and although most aren’t all that great, they’re still a lot of fun. I think they all know they ain’t close to DJI though, right? Haha
You could review anything, and I would still watch buddy. Especially when you throw a rock up to test the wind 😂 Poor Jim starting off as Amanda. He must be so confused😅👍👍
Hahaha. Yea that rock came out of nowhere. I could a sworn it was a weed. lol. I may have opened up Pandora’s box with the name change live on camera there. Maybe I should’ve edited that part out. Lol
Wi-Fi beginner drones are a scary reminder for me. My first drone was a WiFi drone that was given to me by my daughter for my birthday years ago and I took it to a park and it flew away. Too much wifi interference. I began getting skeptical about flying drones until I looked into DJI drones and did some research. Now I own a couple of DJI drones and never looked back at WiFi drones, not to say that they are all bad for beginners but if you can't afford a great quality gps drone then WiFi drones are still good drones to learn to fly. Thanks for sharing this review Kevin and God bless.
Same here, got a cheap one for Christmas 2023 from my family, done the exact same thing on Boxing day, took off less than 3 minutes into a flight, A FLY AWAY for me! Spent 6 hours that day and 6 hours the following day trying to find it by doing a VERY 'zig-zag' form of search of the field and surrounding fields (covered 12 miles) Put a post on my local Facebook village group and a villagers dog found it on a walk. I never trusted it again, by March 2024 I got a second-hand DJI Mini 2 from a reputable camera dealer in the UK, only had 3 charge cycles, came in the original packaging, everything in the box (cables, spare props, screwdriver) and a 6 month guarantee from them for £239! I have never looked back!
lol that’s a pretty crazy experience. Especially on the first flight. Booooo! Haha. That’s why I mentioned flying it inside so it wouldn’t fly away. Maybe I should’ve mentioned that part. Hahaha.
One thing I do have to say about this drone is that it's made to take a beating! You had it right with the kill the drone button, you drop that thing in mid air and I don't know how much it'll fly after. But it was a fun review to watch
The believe the burst mode is so the drone can shoot a few pictures at a time, like 3-5 photos in quick session. Then again , I could be mistaken. Thanks for sharing Kevin. 👍👍👍
lol thanks, man. I am still such a rookie when it comes to the photo stuff on these drones. Eventually I’m gonna get tired of being ignorant and maybe I’ll study it up a bit and learn some stuff. Hahaha
Good job, buddy. I think you're actually having fun with your retirement. Good for you, pal. I've had some serious operations lately with one more to come this month. And I've reached the Good old age of 77 years old. I'm fine, so no big deal. Just three weeks in the hospital really was not good for me. But I'm out, and my wife's cooking has got me back to feeling much better. Life is good and goes by really faster than we would like. I am still enjoying your adventures. Do yourself a gopro review maybe they will start sending you new gopro gear. I have 3 of them now, the 9,12, and 13. The 12 and 13 are pretty much the same. But they changed the batteries. So the older ones don't work on the 13. Still, because it was my birthday, I bought myself a 13 just for the fun of learning something new. What do you do with all the stuff sent to you? Do you still remember my email address?
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better and I know for a fact the home cooking helps heal quicker for sure. Haha. Hopefully you can avoid the hospital for the next while and enjoy the good life for a bit, eh? Your comment on the GoPro reviews is intriguing. I’ve been mentioning the ford f350 repeatedly waiting on ford to contact me but that hasn’t happened yet. Hahaha. Love you, man!
I think even Santa would refuse to deliver that Kevin lol, you must been a naughty boy I’d rather fly a piece coal 😂fun to watch though, have a great Festive season, regards
Hahahaha. That’s hilarious! But can you do flips with coal? Ok I guess you can, but if coal falls to the ground like this did, the coal would be damaged. Hahaha
I think that this being a beginner and the way it performed it might discourage some. It is good you have an opportunity to test these drones so people can see drone options. I think this drone is over priced. You are so right about DJI drones and their find me mode sound, not very loud.
Oh yea definitely, Fred. I agree 100% it could discourage some if there was a fly away or some bad experience like that. I know I can attest first hand on that. lol. In all honesty, DJI is the only drones I’ve flown with full confidence. I know Autel is close but I’ve not flown any of them yet.
Hahahaha. Man, you’re the only one on here so far who caught that. I didn’t even catch it until I saw your comment. I reckon i was thinking in feet rather than yards. Roberts math strikes again!!! lol. That is hilarious!
Entertainment 💯 Drone 32.5 % If it wasn’t so windy it will make the perfect “training drone” just to get used to the controls. The little General under the drone at the beginning was great to see Kev. All the best and Merry Christmas to you and all. If you have a couple of minutes please check out my mini2 flight around our local tank I did last week. I tried some cinematic flying 😂
If I was a going to get a drone for someone that asked for one that had never had one before, I would always pay just that little bit more and get the DJI 4k (mini 2) at least you know it would be stable, have GPS, RTH and 4k like it's says on the box, I would debate whether these 'cheap' ones actually are 4k sensors.
That’s a great point and a way better option I’d say. A lot of times a beginner drone like this could malfunction and cause a fly away or other problems which could discourage a new flyer. I can attest to that first hand but sometimes I forget how nervous that made me to fly after it happened. The 4k is a perfect beginner drone because it’s so dependable. Great point, brother.
Hahaha oh come on man. You know you want one. At least it was fun to fly, right? I think I could have some fun with it and it’s cool it wouldn’t matter too much if it got lost in the woods. I mean, I wouldn’t go throwing rocks and sticks at it to get it out of a tree like I did with the other $40 drone. Hahaha
I learned on wifi drones but don't fly them anymore. Got tired of being disconnected. Looking back I think some of the drones I started with are poor beginner drones. If a seasoned operator has trouble with them then a beginner will just be frustrated.
You’re not the first to remind me of that, man and it’s a great point. I remember when I first started flying these Wi-Fi type drones, I had a fly away and became really nervous every time I flew. It sort of takes the fun away when you don’t know what the drone is gonna do from day to day, eh?
I dd not think there is anything like a beginner drone. Just a drone for your needs. My first drone was a Phantom 4 Pro. I bought several years ago. But with the size and noise of the Phantom 4 Pro, I wanted a "beginner drone". And I have the DJI Mini 4 K fly more combo pack arriving tomorrow. Just buy what you want and need. I would not buy something or not buy just because it is marketed as a beginner drone. Any good drone like a DJI is easy and safe to fly for a beginner or expert.
Awesome! You chose wisely with the phantom and the mini 4k drones. Both are amazing in my book. The word beginner could definitely be misleading sometimes, eh? Lol
I’d say your bet is safe. lol. I didn’t include any photos on the vjdeo because I sort of forgot but I’ve taken a few since and it seems a bit pixilated when you zoom in a little bit.
Uhhhh....It's probably just me wondering this, but WHY would you need a button to actually STOP the propellers, and allow your drone to simply just fall out of the sky? Seems like a quick fast and in a hurry way to destroy your beginner drone.
Dear Kevin, Your onions; although honest, still sting the eyes. My goodness!!, what a scary beasty you have there. Besides all the exterior antics, you also bemused about it's interior flyability?. Ummm, is there some way I could turn off my air 2 gps, and maybe fly it inside too??. I am underneath a flight path and around 0.5km from it's centrelion (Like a centi pede, only far more voracious). Normally if I fire up my geriatric beast and get a satellite, it tells me it's not allowed to fly. Thankfully it tests for nearby nono's before takeoff. Personally I think mine should test for me; because if I'm trying to be the pilot; it should definitely not take off!!.
I guess for $100.. but honestly save another $100 and get a DJI nano. its twice the price but 5 times better plus you can fly wifi...... for now..... but expand in the future with a controller and even FPV with goggles. Cheap Drone, dash cam, and security cam companies need to up there game in the camera department if they want to get a hit. I mean a good, true 1080p cam should be dirt cheap these days.... I have no idea why it looks like they still use 480p from 2 decades ago. Must have warehouses full of them that need to be used up or something. Dash cams are even worse....
That drone is not worthy of being called a beginner drone. I would get more out of flyin a rubber band wind up toy airplane made out of match sticks. (Wow! That was a harsh comment that you’ll probably delete!) Seriously though, I give this “beginner” drone 5 thumbs down. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 As for you brother, you always get 5 thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ah ... so hundred dollars drone ... but kind of uncomfortable flight ... maybe not fly much ... as opposed to something like the DJI Mini 4K or older Mini 2 drones that have more control and sophistication ... yes a bit more money ... but then maybe longer and more fun use in more places! Anyway fun to see you play around and get attention from all ye faithful ... ruclips.net/video/Gw2j8LxEIgw/видео.html

Istead of Amanda or Jim, I think you should just call it Pat.
Hahahaha!!! Dude that’s the best comment on here. I’m pinning you. lol.
I like the fact that you give every drone it's chance without comparing eti DJI drones that's a plus 👍
lol good deal. Thanks for watching and for the support. I guess the main reason we don’t compare them to DJI is they don’t have a real shot but it’s definitely fun to try new drones. God bless!!!

Your videos are fun to watch. I enjoy all the different drones you get for testing, and I also like your honest opinions.

Hey buddy, hope all is well… thanks for sharing.✌️
Hey, man! Thanks so much for your continued support. All’s well on the home front. I’ve been a little absent lately. lol.
I love your videos, the way you explain things with a bit of fun. 😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯🌟
lol well, I don’t have the smarts most times so I gotta put in some jokes or mistakes to keep it interesting, right? Hahaha

Always love your videos and this one is no exception. Well done sir. I do have one question for you. What do you use to record your audio?

I think even Santa would refuse to deliver that Kevin lol, you must been a naughty boy I’d rather fly a piece coal 😂fun to watch though, have a great Festive season, regards
Hahahaha. That’s hilarious! But can you do flips with coal? Ok I guess you can, but if coal falls to the ground like this did, the coal would be damaged. Hahaha

Kevin, I would have stuck with Amanda the Ameta. 😉
lol. JJ drones said I shouldn’t called it Pat. Hahaha.
90 paces would take you maybe 200 feet 😂❤
Hahahaha. Man, you’re the only one on here so far who caught that. I didn’t even catch it until I saw your comment. I reckon i was thinking in feet rather than yards. Roberts math strikes again!!! lol. That is hilarious!
@WeretheRoberts I'm so metric, could be the reason 😃😃😃❤️
There were several times I laughed out loud.
Hahahaha. Me too! It’s always awesome to know someone else laughed, too and I wasn’t the only one. lol. Thanks, Mark!

My Chevy 2500 came with a slow drop tailgate from the factory. That’s what you get for buying a Ford! 😂😂
Hahahaha. Good point, Jeff. You win. That sucker is cool though!!!
haha... you get some great drones to review. I would say the video was entertaining, but the drone is not in our leagues lol. Good job Kevin.
Hahaha oh come on man. You know you want one. At least it was fun to fly, right? I think I could have some fun with it and it’s cool it wouldn’t matter too much if it got lost in the woods.

Not bad for a toy drone. But after a beginner sees how much fun, and easy to fly drones are, they'll want a real flying camera drone by DJI. 😊
Any news about the gimbal on the mini 4pro rc2. On rocket quick shot
I dd not think there is anything like a beginner drone. Just a drone for your needs. My first drone was a Phantom 4 Pro. I bought several years ago.

Another drone that should be sold at Walmart for 20 dollars 😮
lol with the discount on here it’s pretty close to $20 on Amazon. Haha. I agree though for sure.
I'll lay bets on it, that it's not true 4k footage!
I’d say your bet is safe. lol. I didn’t include any photos on the vjdeo because I sort of forgot but I’ve taken a few since and it seems a bit pixilated when you zoom in a little bit.
Uhhhh....It's probably just me wondering this, but WHY would you need a button to actually STOP the propellers, and allow your drone to simply just fall out of the sky? Seems like a quick fast and in a hurry way to destroy your beginner drone.
lol good question. It didn’t hurt it too bad though, eh? Maybe that’s why they have the 5 meter height limit. Haha

I.meta drone. It was cheap. It was a beginner drone. Some day it will be a real, big boy drone. I'll wait.
Hahaha. I meta you did. Ima thinking that’s a tail but you ain’t no cat.
I guess for $100..

Hahahaha. I understand that for sure, brother. What about Jim? Lol
