Hey, DQ! You’re special manufacturing of high quality drones! There’s more than enough space. Once it catches on, you’ll stand for quality while the others will fall by the wayside. Hang in there!!!! Don’t give them away for free! Charge for your work.
😢 Sorry to hear this man, your videos and contributions to the FPV hobby are super cool. Hopefully this can be the start of a new and more profitable chapter! For an unsolicited suggestion, maybe pivot the channel into 3D printing? You're in China if I'm not mistaken which puts you at the heart of all the innovation and competition for the consumer 3D printer market right now, and you've got the sort of on-camera charisma and personality that's really enjoyable to watch, and I'm sure a deep technical understanding of 3D printing. It's a solid niche to lean into right now whereas drones unfortunately does not seem to be nearly as popular. All the best!
I've said this there is space for both you and captain drones content there are thousands of good products let's find them and bring them to the world's eyes 🍻
@@tjtaylor364 sure then come to drx channel lol it's free market make good content great again 🤷🏻♂️ clearly people want to be pettled crap because he gets views😅 really it's more a case someone figured out the Algo and one hasn't yet. Or it could be RUclips pushes certain content and truth will never pay 🤷🏻♂️ captain drone helped me setup something I bought before watching his videos about the product so to say he offers nothing is a bit narcissistic 🤷🏻♂️ have you tried to make a video? It takes time you have editing, scripting, shooting, color grading, if you have multiple people you have to coordinate with them so to say that anyone could do it is dumb on its face go do it then 😅 there is a formula keyword thumbnails audience engagement why can't captain drones channel exist and everyone just knows he just shows you stuff off Alibaba and drx channel he goes over design philosophy and Cinema equipment like they are 2 different sub categories that aren't competing. People who watch captain drone aren't just going to not watch drx because "well I only had time to watch one of you 🤷🏻♂️" no you can watch both at some point if there is something you are interested in lol this beef is with the wrong people guys you know who you should be mad at? Judges. They are they ones that have allowed and really have furthered the destruction of small business which has led to big corps running everything. They have sat by while congress has passed unconstitutional economic warfare on the American people the world really
Great Idea. Keep Your Ball Rolling. Your time is now. We Have your back. Go Hard or go Home. You have more respect in the community than you know. Just don't quit...
Man, I hate to hear that 😢 it was a bittersweet video to watch. Hopefully stuff lightens up on you buddy. The one thing no one can steal from you are your filming skills, cuz those are truly unique to you. Kinda looking forward to anything cinematography related that you post in the future. 😀
Just continue building it, bro. When i master flying manual, if your high end ones were available, I would pick up one of the big ones. Don't try compete with cheap and cheerful. Price it at what is worth your time in designing and building these. Products built from passion are always the best.
Great video of 7 inch. Due to the nature of YT monetization, I trust no one to not be shilling. However, I do believe that you would be VERY successful if reviewing drones and components that are of a high quality nature. I don't care if mftr's or sponsors supply free product or pay you to showcase their products as long as you state up front the review condition/arrangements up front so that the viewer can decide the legitimacy. I watch captain drone and all other product drone reviews - but they don't really go into the quality so I don't watch those video much anymore. I think this is an opportunity to showcase good quality stuff as most reviewers do not have the insight of what makes a motor/FC/ESC/frame/etc... good quality. For example, I really like the HolyBro FC/ESC electronics (yes - I'm an EE). I too have a passion for good quality and have been burnt literally and figurtively by crap FC/motors/ESC. So, I look forward to high quality drone/parts review - should you take that path.
Hey brother Im so sorry, first iflight and now this….. Id like to build one of your designs if u release files and I’ll make a donation to you…. Im also going to join your patreon you deserve it MORE than anyone!!! You are so much more than these shills and again THANK YOU for standing for something.
Just visited your website, I think you make good quality products, just need to market your work better. Even giving more information like the weight of the honey badger 10" and material would likely give you more conversions. Being a self-run business owner is not easy, it requires a lot of resilience among other things.
Man I am sorry to hear this. that design is really good and trust me u have the skill. I really wish you wont stop creat your own design. Maybe you can try to make a start up, I mean a company should able to hold the legal right better.
Might have to stick to doing it as a hobby.. it's a tough world and hard to make a living doing anything without being able to mass produce a product. And if anyone wants a quad just tell what it takes to make it worth your while and don't take no grief. Btw was it the 03 and radiomaster elrs that went 2km?
doing it as a hobby, still a viable manner of climbing the ladder in fpv world, its not an easy thing to do, it takes a few years, for some, i think this man is way closer 💪
@@straydogFPV I think he is too. I know it's hard to appreciate what you've got while expecting more but he's already got great sponsors and making such an impression that people are now copying his work. But I can understand, time is money and if you can't afford to wait/work towards something then you gotta do something different. He does have a family to care of, which I know is more important than anything. I'm sure it's not the end, he'll be back with something bigger and better
5:19 "The companies that support me also seem to be the highest-tier companies." Remember that. That's the story of my life. Also in company politics, the strongest people supported me. Weaklings are often the opportunist-types. The people with backbone will support you through thick and thin. PS I unsubscribed from "captain drone". Forgive I ever subscribed to that channel. Little did I know.
Hey man, awful that your design got stolen. I'm wondering why you dont aproach your designs different. Okay, you like streaming and sharing your progress. But what if you designed and built it. Then made an introduction video. At the same time you colaborate with a manufacturor to sell your designs. Kinda like chris rosser does with iflight. Anyway, I feel you took it okay. Dont let it get you down. Concentrate on what you love and just enjoy flying.
bro.... dont stop. i kinda hate it to see people stop fpv, especially when they are so talented and so driven. i hope you get a change of heart. and i think it could be a good thing you giving out the design. what if one of the manufacters says, hey weve got your design, since it went around. what do you say we make another one?? i hope this is a possibility, i think its not so far fetched rooting for you bro ^^ dont let this slip man i think you way further then you realise dispite the profit margins, i think you might be closer then you think to break that barrier ^^, manucacturers helpin you out like you say, think about it. make one or two more, and dont tell anyone, dont show anyone, just the one or two frame manufacturers you think might be interested 🤙😎
🫡 As someone who’s avoided the ‘sunk cost’ trap for better opportunities many times, well done. Your family will probably thank you one day for not bitterly clinging and starting this new chapter. 👍
I wouldn't be so quick to give up when you are so close. Your frame designs are amazing and I love that you are trying something different from everyone else. However, as someone who actually has the sort of disposable income to spend on very high quality pieces I have no idea what I would be buying when I go to your website. Its just a couple of pictures and practically no description. Nothing selling me on why your product is worth the extra money. To design and develop a great product is one thing but marketing it is a whole different ball game and very, very few people are good at both of those things. I'm an engineer who owns a small business and one of the smartest things I ever did early on was bring in someone who could handle the administrative and marketing side of things. I just don't have the mindset for it. Seems crazy to do when there is barely any money left over to pay yourself but its the only way to grow and prosper. Good luck either way with whatever you choose to do
You make great content, I understand you do not like big brands, but how about you team up with one of those big companies so they can promote and sell your frames, and in that way you push good quality products? Like for example Chris Rosser and his AOS line. I don’t know man, you have a golden ticket for a brain, a true blessing a lot of people would love to have. Don’t let it go to waste because someone pirated one of your designs.
@@33rdframe also, remember the masses are in the people who don’t know much about fpv, so basic beginner tutorials, tips and tricks are also a great way to get you the followers you need. Hope everything works out for you man! 🤙🏼
@@leonardothillet6423 I appreciate the wish for me to succeed, I must tell you I would rather eat glass than become an honorless husk of a man like captain drone. I may not have more subscribers, but I at least have my integrity and dignity
