I love the way the snap shot sounds are a loud mechanical shutter and then a film advance.
I'm just a beginner here, I picked up the 1st sg906, after watching your reviews. It does not the 3 axis gimbal. But for a beginner low cost drone it has really developed my needs in my future drone purchase. Been eyeball a mavric mini at costco. Thank you for all your informative videos.
Just bought it based on your review...
Compared it to a lot of your other reviews for other drones, but this one sticks out in my opinion.
So me and the wifey saved up to buy it for documenting our boat trips.
Thanks so much for your very good reviews.
Helped a lot!
Love how close we've gotten over the past year or so to actually getting a really nice drone for 150-200 bucks. Its a great time for new comers to the hobby🥳
First off, congrats on reaching 150k subs! That’s pretty awesome right there. Second, great video demo as always. And last but not least, see ya at SpinUp 2020! I just saw that you’ll be in the house (virtually) 😄👍🏻
Just found Your channel few weeks ago, loving all Your content!
Awesome, thank you!
Great review Steve. I bought a 906 after you reviewed it and then the 906 Pro after you reviewed it. For my money the Pro is fantastic value for money. As an electronics engineer in the medical/surgical visualisation field I am critical of video quality, and even though the Pro has some video instability at times, especially if props are not perfect, running the SD video thru a post recording program such as Shotcut (free) the results are amazing for a budget multicopter.
I purchased one and so far I'm very impressed with it. Thanks for your demonstration of this drone Captain Drone.
It's crazy how good budget drones are getting these days!
What's so crazy at this price?!
Thanks captain drone I'm a Newbie and I've bought this drone to learn and enjoy the cam/video keep up the good work mate 👍👌
Your editing just gets better and better... very nice cuts and picture-in-picture features and the narration is fun and informative... I don’t even bother looking at other reviewers anymore as I do my drone searches. I currently own just a Tello and have been planning to upgrade, and I think it’s worth it to do the Transport Canada registration to buy drones like this great budget unit. Thanks again for all your help!
Thank you very much!
FINALLY! ive just ordered this drone after watching tons and tons of reviews of many different ones for my budget, thanks for your reviews Steve, ive found you to be the most experienced and best drone reviewer.
just have to wait on banggood sending it from China.
p.s. i think my joy sticks will be getting super glued in lol.
I ordered the sg906 pro 2 now just waiting for it to get here got it with just 1 battery and then decided to get another battery and it's just 2800 milli amp battery so I was glad when you showed both batteries working. Thanks for all your input im sure I'm going to love it.
I got my pro 2 .Quick question when I'm flying my drone the video feed from drone to app on phone lags pretty bad is this something I'm doing or is this my phone or app. Thank You for your help...😀
I would have liked to see more. I think the 3 axis gimbal is a game changer and would have enjoyed seeing how well it flies/records using way points etc. I love the channel but just wanted to say don't be afraid to show more if/when you think it warrants it!
Managed to buy the SG906 PRO 2 on black friday for 85 US dollars. For the price its an amazing drone. Thanks for the reviews and all the videos. Love your channel.
Você fez o melhor vídeo sobre o SG906PRO2 em todo o conteúdo atual. Parabéns e obrigado.
I liked your comment "read the instructions". I am a member of several drone pages on FB and am just stunned at how many people post bogus info, ask the same stupid questions or just crash because they will not read the instruction manual..... Yes every DJI drone has an instruction manual........ I have been an electro/mechanical tech for over 40 years and over 75% of the issues I have to deal with are folks not reading instructions.. Time to put away my soap box....
Spot on mate. I am an electronics engineer specialising in surgical video. I have endless problems with reps who sell these specialised cameras, because they refuse to read the User Manuals. I have to resort to writing simple step by step guides for these dummies. You would expect surgeons, with their years of studying and supposedly superior intellect to be good with high tech, but unfortunately not. Most all out refuse to read the user manuals, stating that the camera should be smart enough to use without any settings!! Maybe soon with AI, but we're not there yet. Maybe by the time surgical cameras and multicopters have full AI operating systems, then the surgeons will be replaced by intelligent robots..don't laugh its already happening
RTFM is a time tested response to most beginner questions.
I think I'll wait for the SG906 Pro 3 with 4 axis gimbal!
drie wiel: Yeah right, ek se.
@@Glenrsi ag nee man :)
drie wiel hey, no drone have 4 axis gimbal?????
It is only a joke,by the way. Hubsan Channel. lol.
I wonder how that would work
Peace be with you. Thanks for this review. I used the link below and ordered the drone it arrived today. Wind is 35 mph and I’m new to drones, I’ll wait for calmer conditions. Have a great day.
CONGRATS TO 150K SUBS🤗
I liked it, I bought one of these, it is a great cost benefit, very good for a beginner like me. Like for you friend.
Thank you for your in-depth reviews and for posting them as soon as they are released. After a significant amount of research (mainly watching your reviews and reading the comments), I am considering this drone or the Holy Stone HS720E. The HS720E is about $50 more than the SG906 pro 2. Which do you feel is a better buy?
Gratz on 150k!!!!!
Quite an interesting review. Nice shots. Thank you!
Great review! Looks like a decent beginner drone. Although I will say I am disappointed with the video outcome of the three-axis gimbal. For a three-axis gimbal, the image stability is only better than none gimbal and there are some obvious jellos. Most of these budget drones are using brushed/coreless motors to drive their gimbal, which won’t be as consistent as the brushless motor powered gimbal. If it is almost identical to the original SG906PRO, then I believe the gimbal movement would also be stepped rather than smooth moving, which can be a problem for video practice. For this instance, I think MJX B20 might be a better option as a beginner aerial video drone. It has the true 4k video, very stable EIS image, and smooth gimbal movement, but unfortunately, it is unfoldable and not portable.
Nice review..but im gonna wait till the droning in my country be lifted off, hopefully by next year $150 drone gets better eis..this looks promising imho
Good to see they keep updating the budget Drones that works instead of making more models.
Great Review
Thanks Captain
Captain, even though I have surpassed the midrange drones I am flying DJI , Autel now but I am glad your reviewing this range of drones. I can not forget that these were the drones that I have learned on and got my flying experience on. I am glad your still reviewing them.
Great image review. I was wondering about this Pro 2. There is a good bit of jello and blown-out highlights on you. Good for the price, though. I wonder how the still image quality would be compared to the Mavic Mini. I know the quality is different, but I think the size of the sensor is similar.
Which do you think takes better photos?
All the Best and Waving from The Bahamas.
The value is ok I especially for the upgraded video resolution and battery size etc.
But I was looking forward to upgrade from the SG906 Pro 2axis
(Which is a very nice value drone for 140USD here in Manila).
BUT!!!! I didn't see a big difference with the 3 axis gimbal version.
My thoughts:
If you need a cheap drone that can do most of the things you'd like, buy this one.
If you have the previous version with 2 axis, the extra cost to upgrade might not be worth it (depends on pricing in your country)
-I'd probably keep my current version and just experiment/mod the hell out of it.
Great vid as always, thank you for uploading!
Just received this drone as a gift from my friend. It’s my first drone so I’m really excited
Quite a few upgrades from previous model. Great video as always.👍
Hey Steve O congrats on 150k! You put out good reviews, in a timely manner, quality production and a easy to read love of all things R/C. From what I can tell in one fell swoop this machine has gone from classic fodder to actual decent bang for the buck with the addition of that 3axis gimbal. I heard you mentioning the batteries were different though. So I figured out just that little change means people who bought the first one are kinda pooched. Oh well it’s a pretty good price to begin with but they would have sold a lot more if the batteries crossed over. You could just about buy 3 of these and shoot multiple angles for the price of one mavic mini. But I just don’t know if the footage would be near the same quality.
He showed the old battery does fit, but the capacity is less, so there would be less flight time using an old battery vs: the new one.
@GAILLARD Philippe well I know I'm happier with my mavic mini but I got a friend looking to start out a bit cheaper
@@sheiladavis2304 take a eachine ex4, it and cheap and it and very good
You should have done a video of searching for the joystick in the grass!
I bought this drone because I have been waiting over a year for the Micro Drone 4.0 from Vernon Kerswell on Indiegogo, and it’s not even in production. I got scammed. Never use Indiegogo! Thanks CAPTAIN DRONE for the very detailed review. Great Channel. 👍👍
I just wanted to say I love the videos!!! Thanks for posting!!!
You are so welcome!
hello captain drone, im from Philippine, i love all your video
For your advice is this the best drone to me
another great review captain as always.
I love to see your reviews, always fair and honest
Thank you 😊
Footage is a little too shaky for me. Like your candid reviews!!
J say the same
Can you do a comparison between this and the b20??
This is an amazing review and has helped me on my drone search. Thank you
You always do a very thorough review thanks for what you do for this hobby nice job !!!
My pleasure!
Thank you for continuing to do budget drone videos. I wish that more people would do them and to help new pilots get into drones as not everyone has the money to start out with a $500 or more expensive drone.
huhuhu ive always dreamed on having one budget drone whaahha
Nice drone for the budget price Steve. Great video quality and in the wind. Impressed i am.👍😊
Color and contrast looked good to me, it did well looking into the sun
I WANT ONE!!!!!!
Thanks for all infos. I like your reviews and your style. My wife-banker limits my expenses, the price range is fine...No big improvements on this new model, apart new cam, 3 axis gimbal and bigger battery... but more $$ to buy! Is it good to have, versus the 2 axis version? In fact, is it worth the money and perfs?...
Last month, I have bought the sg906 pro with 3 x2800mah batteries (that I have modified for quick 3Amps charge). So I wonder if I am missing somethings in buying early, i.e better video, longer flight time, smoother cam height control, etc...
This new model pro2 uses also 3400mah batteries but has no better flight time! Surprisingly, it remains close to 16 to 20 minutes! Are they compatible with the sg906 pro? Is the 3axis gimbal better than the 2axis and does that cure the jello? Also what are the sony camera performances? The rest is the same: software functions already in the basic model. Thanks for your help ...
Congrats to 150k!
I Love your Videos!
Can't wait for the giveaway😃
Congrats 150k.
Nice review as always, i have the beast pro and this seem like a big improvement, camera looks better and flight time should be alot better. Time for my nephew to get a used breast pro😁. I find the beast very fun to fly and a good training drone. I also have a fimi 2020 and a zino2 which i only use in wide open places where i need the range. To just fly around a bit for fun the beast is my go to quad. I always rely on your review for tutorials and tips. Tnx again. Keep flying!
Friends who love drones.
I found the new SG907 PRO, 2-axis Gimbal Camera, black and platinum.
Platinum looks so cool, I bought a platinum SG907 PRO, I think it is worth buying, share it with everyone

Nice! I bought one a couple of months ago, decent flyer, connected to my sg906pro controller. Gave it to my nephew for his birthday tonget him started on quads. I just found the video a bit shakey due to it not having a 2 axis gimbal and the not sure about the motor longevity because its brushed. But it is a nice flyer.
Price, Range, Camera, Flight time, that's all we need.
Just ordered one with an extra battery 👍🏻 I’m learning how to fly rc planes so this is a little departure but still looks a lot of fun. This will be my first quadcopter and I’m looking forward to trying it out. Could lead to a Mavic eventually.... we’ll see. Thanks for the great review 👏🏻
Mine should arrive today!! Yay!!! Ordered a 2nd and 3rd battery, 16 GB micro SD card, and a 900,000 mAh charging battery for field battery.
So glad you did this video. I was considering this or th Bugs 3. I got such a good deal on the 906 that I had to get it. Paid $141 with 2 batteries, delivered in less than a week.
DO YOU HAVE A STORE FOR SECONDHAND DRONES PLSSS...I WOULD LOVE IF I BUY 1 FROM YOU
This is very tempting for a beginner like me! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recommend it. Works well.
I know there is a price difference but if you know you like drones then just get a dji mini 2 or even a mini 1 on sale, there is no comparison between something like that and this thing reviewed here. The dji mini's are fantastic. I have a mini 1 and a mavic air 2 and highly recommend both. Most people who buy a budget drone end up going to a better one anyway.
I just got it $140 shipped cant go wrong
@@brandonmcphee1432 it won't have a controller or battery for that price.
@@brandonmcphee1432 at least, not if AUD. If USD it might.
Image looks very good. Video is also a good quality. Great as usual.
Love that drone. You do a really great job with the reviews.
Thanks 👍
Hello! I purchased this drone thanks to you, so far so good. Question I have for you it takes a lot of time to find GPS is this normal or it's my drone defective? Thanks
It should only do that the very first time. Make sure you are not standing near buildings or under/beside trees.... must be a wide open field.
Good review❣️👍 Yes 3-axis gimbal but still shakey video and some yello. Maybe a software upgrade will make it better? 🤔🙋♀️
I think this is the anti shake technique. may be the drone design..
I watched this video an got SD an HD straight. Thanks again.
I just bought the 2021 version with obstacle avoidance .The Beast MAX. This will be my first drone so I look forward to seeing your review on this one. Happy new year
SG906 are great,but I think they should improve their controller
After watching this. I think, I would go for MJX Bugs 20 EIS.
Wow!!! 150K subs...Congrats.
Just ordering the drone now to help supplement video for my son and my channel. Let you know how it goes. Thanks for the review. Very helpful.
hello captain. Would you help me a lot, please: could you test the SG 906 pro2 battery in the SG 906 pro1?
!!
GIVEAWAY TIME...🤑
Next video should be on giveaway Steve😆
ITS LITERALLY VERY EASY TO GET A HEART FROM CAPTAIN😂😂😂
But it's nice that he takes enough interest to read the posts.
the SD / HD thingy, THANKS, as no other reviewer that I watched pointed that option out.
Amazing for the price, thanks for another great video. Random question, do you return all the goodies they send, or do they let you keep some of them?
I believe the Bugs 20 is a better buy, video quality wise.
Bugs 20?
yeah even without gimbal still have good video footage
Yes I agree...the Bugs 20 EIS 4k has more stable video footage which is amazing given it has no gimbal at all, except a tilt function. It's electronic image stabilisation does an excellent job👍
@@53glowe Just stabilize in post. With this drone properly set up you get level non fish eye footage for a budget price.
@@russellk.bonney8534 On my sg906 pro, I like the non fish-eye cam... my visual neurones appreciate! Why so few drones have that type?
When will drone batteries switch to USB-C charging? It's the year 2020 already and USB-C is a better charging solution.
Some budget drones certainly have USB C
awesome ... thanks . This looks like the drone for me . The 906pro2 looks pretty sweet for what I want to do with my fishing videos. Cheers
A few drone that I purchase is only after watching your reviews, which is a big help for me according to my budget. Keep it up!! 👍👍👍
Hi, Thanks for the review. The video of this drone seems to show a lot of jello for 3-axis gimbal drone. This drone's 3-axis gimbal may be more advertising hype than reality?
Observe the trees in the video, looks like it was pretty windy.
its fine.
thanks for doing a good review on 906pro2. However, pro2 seems doesn't make a big improvement especially in terms of "jello". I think zlrc should pay much attention in better anti shake just like the bugs 20eis ...
I will experiment a thin piece of foam behind the cam body, to filter the motor vibrations....
Just ordered one. Was cheaper in Canada and I'm in Ireland so I'll be waiting a while. Excited
Great video and fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Since I already have the SG906 Pro, my favorite part is 13:50
Although the battery has similar physical size, do you think it's save to put PRO 2 battery ini PRO? Cause you know...they have different voltage (7.6V and 7.4V). If you think it's ok, I would buy this new battery as my spare one.
Nice review as always Capt...
Yes, you could put the PRO 2 battery in the PRO and get a longer flight time.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you.
Hello Captain drone! I don't know if you can share your email with me, but if you don't want everyone to email you, you can email me privately. I promise not to bug you all the time, I just need to ask a few very important questions, before ordering my new upgraded drone. Thank you for all your videos. luisvaliente450@gmail.com
Kowabunga... 😄🤪 Budget is the optimum word here... For about $250CDN (1/2 the price of a MM) it is a stand up entry level unit. Video is not the best but for fun ... I think its a winner.
Thanks Captain Drone. Because of you I bought 1 of this SG906 pro2.., but not yet try. Love all your reviews with the gadgets.
Enjoy!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks. Keep safe!
Thanks, for short instractions and good video !
Please review the sjrc f11 pro 4K drone, thank you in advance!
Do you think that this is better than the MJXRC BUGS 20 EIS?
This was flown on a windy day and on a windy day it would do better than the BUGS 20 EIS. The BUGS 20 EIS is designed for days with no wind.
The same question i have... so then this will be better than the MJXRC because it can fly in both wind and no wind.🤔 im considering which to buy... great review again captain love your videos 💫💯
@@gimar6682wj Yes, in the wind a gimbal is always best. But for days with almost no wind, the EIS is very smooth. Also the BUGS and HOLYSTONE HS720E record at a high bit rate and higher FPS for improved video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks 💫✊
One of the best video Demonstrating a drone and I wash a lot of them. It is a very informal video video great explanation of all the controls.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I just received mine. I have to agree about the control sticks. I can't believe the holder isn't threaded so they screw in.
I'm also concerned that they might be pretty abrasive on my thumbs. I foresee bandaged thumbs after a day of flying. Other than that, I can't wait to take it out flying tomorrow.
I liked the video quality of the BUGS2 better - even if it uses EIS for the 3rd axis...
You guys are something else ,you want the price but not the drone ,how is that going to work , don't you understand the more quality you expect of these products the more they cost ?thanks for the budget review Captain .
The image quality is fairly garbage, the gimbal kind of sucks, but jesus it's like $150 USD that's insane for what you're getting. Obviously people comparing this drone to something like a DJI aren't making a fair comparison. Personally, I'm happy with my Fimi x8 2020, love these reviews.
@@kylequinn1963 ,it is what is for sure just imagine how happy that bird could make someone feel .sometimes people forget where they started .
@@kylequinn1963 , yup, just imagine how happy that drone could make someone feel ? sometimes people forget where they started but if they were to see where and how some of us started before we got to where we are ,then they might understand .
@@kylequinn1963 ,that is a professional drone to compare to what I started with years ago .
Thank u captain drone for this drone review wow amazing i think i found a new quality drone that fits to budget thank u so much 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice review like always
I had high hopes for this drone, but frankly I'm a bit disappointed. The picture quality is pretty good, but the video is still a bit shaky. Which means that you'll have to apply image stabilization when editing the footage. With a 3-axis gimbal that should not be necessary. Perhaps the Pro 3 wil feature a more responsive 3-axis gimbal.
Not bad for $160
It's 300 dollars now
Thank you verry good video for a beginner...again THANK YOU
Probably gives you less space to maneuver in but it is GREAT to see the kids back outside being kids playing sports😊
The B20 EIS seems to be a better option.
Sought that as well. The image looks way too shaky for a 3-axis gimbal.
@@user-tv2bk2ul9t ya too much jello

Nice review capt. D. But can you have a full review on this model.. I really like the drone except for the controls.. Hopefully they will redesign it. Wanted to buy this one
