The care and detail you take is very impressive to be very clear about what you’re saying for someone dipping in to get a recommendation without any knowledge of what their kids are asking for for the holidays. Well done.
Everyone be careful in choosing the Holystone from Amazon, they stock the 720 and 720E, the Captain reviews the 720E here which has higher specs than its cheaper 720 version.
Captain, you've really become the Gold Standard when it comes to drones! I always enjoy your videos. Not only are they incredibly helpful (honest and complete), they're fun to watch. You clearly enjoy doing these; that comes through loud and clear. Adding discount codes provide us subscribers MONETARY value as well. Keep up the great work!
Very informative ,enjoyed it immensely...great to see someone who is clearly knowledgeable about his subject .plus no thumping background music while you're talking .gave me plenty to think about ..most impressed chris
Nice video...In the last year these budget drones have come a really really long way. Glad to see them finally adding multi-axis gimbals and/or EIS to the mix.
Recently purchased a Holy Stone 720E. Loved everything about operating this drone. It just suited me and performed well. The problem I encountered was not being able to save pictures and videos to the SD micro card. I made 3 separate purchases for cards following their recommendations, but they did not work. I felt the unit was defective and requested a replacement. They suggested trying a fourth card. I said no, and returned it to Amazon. Otherwise I really liked the 720E...This was a great comparison video, and hope to chose another one from this list...It was well done. Thanks
Drones i like here are the 2 Bugs drones mentioned and the EX4 PRO. Impressed with the EX4 distance it can fly. Great info and always a pleasure to watch your videos Steve.🙂
Well done my Captain! If everyone on the planet saw this review the sky would be black with drones. You make everything interesting and entertaining. Thanks mate Dan down under
Great review, thanks very much! I am stil very happy with my SG906 Pro, bought on your recommendation ( around june 2020) after your reviews. It flies great👍👍 Keep on Droning😎😎 Hans from the Netherlands
Captain, you just post so many decent videos and you are very well informed! Always great stuff and reviews of drones that recently came out: great channel!!! Let's gooooo for the 200K subscribes👍👍👍😃💪 Awesome that you do this next to your job in the office: great thing to handle that🥇
WOW! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!! I was ready to order the SG720E but it sounds like they're having some app issues (per another vlogger). Now I can't decide which to order!! It will be my first drone.. leaning towards the CSJX7 Pro2 or Bugs 12EIS. Do you feel this is suitable as a first drone for an old bird like me?! Thanks again! Your videos are so helpful!
Thanks man! I've only got 1 GPS drone so far, the hs165.. Now you have me so torn! That EX4Pro range is insane, but now if i ever end up with one, I wont be mad at myself for messing up compass calibration if it flies off in the wrong direction into a power line ha.. The hs165 I has to be calibrated when you first got it and it gave me some issues. (learning the hard/fun way) It's my 2nd one of the exact same drone, first one ended its life the first time i discovered automatic go home on low battery! Thanks man, you really do have the best reviews.
Love your videos! Just getting into drones! I've used the F11 but the F11 4K PRO looks like it has upgraded from the one I've used. I'm looking forward to seeing how the image stabilization is.
From philippines i love all your videos/drone reviews from the past 3 years. Learned a lot. I hope to recieve some gifts from you. Keep up doing review because it helps me more to loves having 1. Ill support you more.😊😊😊
Thank you for your help with your clear understable discussion with the gear , I find you entertaining and I trust your opinion on the products you have laid hands on! I’m interested to purchase the ICAT7 PRO 2 ? I’m a novice ,to perhaps overstate my qualifications. I have watched the video for it that you made . And others, I feel that I am making an informed decision about this purchase and I thank you again for your opinion on the drone .
I did it! After hours and hoursssss of research, I ordered the SFRC F11 4k Pro.. the Gimbal and 4k video/photo sold it for me... I am a huge fan of your's.. thanks! Now to wait... :-)
This is a great review! Can you create one just like it that features the latest and greatest UNDER 250 GRAM drones that are under $400? Thanks for considering.
I tried to watch other people's videos on the drones I want to potentially buy and they're so bad nobody holds a candle to your reviews, this is better than unbox therapy!!!!
For under $2.99 you can get your kid a brushless, motorless, long distance helium filled drone and a candy bar stocking stuffer from the Dollar Store. Then take the $296 you saved and buy a used Mavic Mini from Ebay, wrap it up and put it under the tree with your name on it.
Bought the SG906 Pro 2. Flew once and it flew nice. Had issues getting satellites, would come and go. Flew in optical mode to see if it was due to interference. Drone flew up and it took off into the woods at top speed. One flight, One fly away. Gonna stick with my higher quality stuff. Update: actually able to pick up wifi in woods and found drone hours later. Battery still had a little life. Props are shot and rear arm snapped mounting stud on lower housing. Gimbal works and motors started. Waiting for parts. Seems to be quite a tough sucker. Hope I can also get GPS to work.
Thank you for this comparison, it is very helpful. I have watched all of your reviews on these drones, but this really helped me decide on the best one for me. Your videos are always top notch from filming to editing.
Hey Steve ! Will you make a review video on Silverlit Bumper drone HD....??? I AM BUYING THAT LOW COST DRONE !(under 90 dollars) It has a 720p HD camera...😃
I'd love to see that review too, but he said he doesn't review those type of "toy" drones. Its because its energy-draining and not really worth the time and costs
I bought the HS720E based on your review (thanks for the discount code) and I love it. I bought a couple in different price ranges and this is worth every dime! Thanks!
I recently order the Beast 3 aka the SG906 Pro Max. I'm hoping you do a review on that drone update and it's obstacle advoidance module and any other updates. Thanks and great channel!
There is no such thing as a 5G drone? Were you thinking 5GHZ perhaps? That is a BIG DIFFERENCE over 5G. Let me explain. 5G means 5th Generation cell towers and to talk to those cell towers you need a cell phone with 5G. 5GHZ on the other hand is a spectrum in Wifi communication that a budget drone uses to talk to your phone and send a video signal. So if your phone has 5GHZ then it means it has 802.11ac WIFI protocol and that is what you need to talk to budget drones. Budgets drones are drones under $300 US.
I bought the Bug 20 EIS right when you made the review and I Love it. I have taken some amazing videos with it. I have what I call my drone box that I transport it in. I keep the blades on haha
Mind share your m20 box look like? Me too bought m20 eis this Aug 2021.. am using the existing bag to carry but yet self-making the left outside 4 blades covered with soft+hard protection..
Hey Captain, very informative and just reinforces how far the Industry has progressed with value for money !!!; Would you consider producing a video highlighting the Drones that are "the same" however marketed under different brand names? (as there can be some odd price differences) and.......BTW..... your video productions continue to surprise with their professional touches !!!! Cheers Julian
Cpt Drone. I must say, this is one of your best productions, and frankly exactly what I was waiting for to determine the best quad copter for the price, flight time, and range. Based on your review and others on you tube, I ordered the EX4 Pro to add to small collection. With 2 batteries and case, it came to just under $200.00 U.S. dollars, which is unheard of! Thanks again for all your insightful unbiased reviews, and keep up the good work!
@@FahadKhan_3007 The Mjx Bugs reviewed here is the same electronics and transmitter as the Holystone. The 720E has a revised body shell for the Amazon market to differentiate it from the Mjx 12 eis ( and Amazon mark up )get the same specifications, and even cheaper, the Bugs 20 eis has identical internals and transmitter if you don’t mind that the arms do not fold. Personally I regard arms that don’t fold a bonus as there is less to fail, that is a rigid body shell as opposed to folding hinge mechanism and associated latching. ( Only my opinion)
@@TailsR1984 Holystone official store on AliExpress are only selling the HS720 not the HS720e version unfortunately. Amazon UK have it in stock but at £310 GBP far too money - better off buying the Bugs version.
Great review. I got the original HS720 based on your review and I found it as impressive as you did. A note on the Bugs 20 EIS drone...it can be had on Amazon under the DEERC brand as the D15. DEERC is associated with Holy Stone. Very impressive drone also!!
Thanks for all the information. The air and sea are my next RC adventures and I just subbed up for your informative and helpful videos as I progress through from my journey. I started with a Holy Stone HS120D GPS Drone and now wish I would have watched your videos before purchasing it, no EIS. Besides the poor video quality I really enjoy it. Thanks again.
Ahoy, Captain. Thank you for such an amazing video content from which we can learn a lot. Is any of these aforementioned drones good enough for starting a drone business related to sale of images and videos?
Great review. SJRC F11 4k Pro got me and I will get it this holiday, best bang to me for now with very stable video footage due to EIS and 2-axis gimbal tech, and actually has real 4k camera unlike other drone advertisements. Happy Holidays 🎄🎅⛄❄️ and have a great day ahead. Thanks Captain Drone 😊👍
Hey Capt this is my first time on your channel and found it very impressive. I just purchased a Skyhawk DRC-447 haven't flown it yet but curious if you have.
I just ordered the beast sg906 pro 2! AU$240 with 2 batteries and carry bag. I ummed and ahhed on weight and fordable, I really only want for photos, birds eye and outlook. I thought about the jjrc x9ps and the L109, but the beast ticked enough boxes and the price thanks to AUD vs USD hit a point where I was happy to bite the bullet and commit.
Hi captain, I came across your channel while searching for drone reviews and I love your content. Congrats. So I would like to ask you what would be the best budget drone for motorcycle following in your opinion. If there is one. Thank you for your great videos.
For following a motorcycle you'll need a drone with ACTIVE TRACK and OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE in a small size, so you are stuck with the DJI MAVIC AIR 2 or 2S.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 So there is none of the low cost ones you recomend besides the Mavic? None will be able to follow a motorcycle touring on open streets? Well i guess a little more saving will be needed then. Thank you so much.
If this was your money - where would it go? to me looking through these and seeing the quality of each drones video - the F11 4k pro appears to have superior video than the rest? looks way more stable and less jittery/stuttery??? but i would like to ask your opinion please... would you buy the F11 4k pro over all of these AND would you buy it over say a DJI spark?
Captain Drone, Great Video Sir. If they were the same price would you recommend HOLY STONE HS720E or the F11 4K PRO w/ Gimbal? Which is the overall better drone? Which takes better video? Thank you so much for your advice.
Eachine EX5 5G WIFI 1KM FPV GPS With 4K HD Camera Servo Gimbal 30mins Flight Time 229g Foldable RC Drone Quadcopter RTF - 5G WIFI Three Batteries 1000m With Storage Bag is this a better one than the ex4? I love the look and am wanting a drone
What Holy Stone or affiliate drone would you recommend I get as they are offering me a big discount. I can't decide. Something easy to fly and reliable also I live in the Regina Sk area. Appreciate your help.
When you watch for sales, you can get the Hubsan Zino for under €299 and imo it's a much better quadcopter (with its 3 axis gimbal and much better range) than all mentioned quads in this video. At the moment (nov 13th) it's just €263 with THREE batteries (Banggood/CZ) or €272 with THREE batteries and bag (Banggood/ES).
Always nice reviews. Im new here and am enjoying the content. Have you heard of or have any thoughts on the EXO X7 Ranger? Good or bad Id love to know.
And by that I mean DJI Mini clones with brushless motors, GPS, remote tilting cameras. Here are a few. MJX Bugs 7 SMRC ICat 1 Eachine EX5 ZLRC SG108 LYZRC L108 LYZRC L900 4DRC F8 LU5 Pro Deer Five M9968 iCamera A3 K20 Duck K1 S3 Holy Stone HS510 JJRC X16 And soon of course they will have Pro version with 2-3 axis gimbals. In fact they are already there.
Thanks for this info. Wondering how much wind these can handle .. we’re on a lake and would like to film sailing & other water sports. Are any drones you know of waterproof? Or are the landings usually so well controlled that you wouldn’t have to worry about it ending up in the lake?
Just curious. Do you ever wake up some days and think to yourself. Screw this I don’t want to make videos anymore. Why did I ever start this channel.... If not. What drives you to continue. Downloading 3 or so videos a week. .???
I am glad your wife leaves you alone to do this channel. There are other drone channels that are just so tedious to watch. Yours are funny and fast pased, plus insiteful.
Greetings Brother. You are my go to guy for my drones questions. I have yet to pull the trigger on one...but this video helps me to dial it in. One question: You mentioned twice about 1080p being good for slow mo in post editing. Does that mean you can't do slow mo with 4k video?
Slow Motion in video is determined by the Frames Per Second. The higher the number, the better it is for slow motion. So if you film at 60 FPS, you then slow it down to 30 FPS when you edit and it looks smooth and slow.
Nice video. Very helpful. During your first couple sample clips, I was thinking the landscape almost looks like my part of the world ... and then I saw the OCTranspo busses. :D I'm just starting out. I have a Mavic Mini but I've been thinking about getting a cheaper drone that's a little more expendable while I hone my skills.
How are you Captain drone. Love your videos. Still haven't bought my first drone yet. Just watched this video should I buy the f11 pro with three batteries for 90 minutes flight time for 239.00 or am I better off buying the Holly Stone hs720e for $285. I wanted something with a great camera and great videos. Tell me your thoughts. Thank you for responding. Ray
New to all this and love your in depth videos. Just a quick question to which I can't seem to find an answer. Can a retired cell phone that has the appropriate wifi be used for drone control or do you need one hooked up to a cell network?
Captain Drone. Im from Philippines. I like your videos and always watch it to learn more about drones. And because of your recommendation a year ago for budget drone I bought one, the beast sg906 pro and 3 months after sg906 pro 2 been released how sweet hahaha but no regrets.. i like this drone. Thanks.
I told you the other day... I love this channel and that you single handedly got me into drones... and that I was buying the new Mini 2! Well I got it release day (video is up on my channel) AND I LOVE IT! Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate your channel!
A little bit too late Captain :). I bought my first drone 2 days ago and its a SG906 PRO (2Axis gimbal). It was dirt cheap so I wont cry if I crash it ;) But after that I opt for DJI Mini 2! Camera/video quality of those cheap chinese drones is just so unacceptable to me so I decided to go really cheap to learn to fly and upgrade to something more capable. Thanks.
Good reviews, thank you. I live about four miles from an airport and would like to fly a drone in doors. Does the Tello with it's limited range have the same airspace restrictions as the mini mavic
A nother great and informative video for a segment that is steadily growing, as this price point seems to have more and more bang for the buck. A lot of these options didn’t come on anything less than $500-$700
Another great review of Captain Drone with great products. I chose the F11 PRO 4K and I can't wait to see what time it will be in my hands. Hugs from Brazil.
@@wed265 I still haven't been able to test the drone because unfortunately I had surgery on my lumbar spine. It is exactly like the SJRC F11 that I already have, very well built and withstands the wind well and is easy to control. I expect a lot from the new gimbal with the EIS. As soon as I test the drone, I'll post some videos and I'll tag you.
The care and detail you take is very impressive to be very clear about what you’re saying for someone dipping in to get a recommendation without any knowledge of what their kids are asking for for the holidays. Well done.
Everyone be careful in choosing the Holystone from Amazon, they stock the 720 and 720E, the Captain reviews the 720E here which has higher specs than its cheaper 720 version.
Captain, you've really become the Gold Standard when it comes to drones! I always enjoy your videos. Not only are they incredibly helpful (honest and complete), they're fun to watch. You clearly enjoy doing these; that comes through loud and clear. Adding discount codes provide us subscribers MONETARY value as well. Keep up the great work!

A lot of hard work went into this video. well done!... You have so many drones! :p
As a complete n00b beginner, about 50 videos in, this is the first that's actually been genuinely helpful. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Nice video...In the last year these budget drones have come a really really long way. Glad to see them finally adding multi-axis gimbals and/or EIS to the mix.

They're over 300.
Zino is less than $300 currently on Banggood
@@NOT-A-BAD-GUY they both are well under 300$ on banggood
Fimi a3 is 270 and zino is around 290$
I could not find the ZINO for under $299. And the A3 is a drone I have never reviewed.

I just ordered the beast sg906 pro 2! AU$240 with 2 batteries and carry bag. I ummed and ahhed on weight and fordable, I really only want for photos, birds eye and outlook.
I thought about the jjrc x9ps and the L109, but the beast ticked enough boxes and the price thanks to AUD vs USD hit a point where I was happy to bite the bullet and commit.
Hi captain, I came across your channel while searching for drone reviews and I love your content. Congrats. So I would like to ask you what would be the best budget drone for motorcycle following in your opinion. If there is one. Thank you for your great videos.
For following a motorcycle you'll need a drone with ACTIVE TRACK and OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE in a small size, so you are stuck with the DJI MAVIC AIR 2 or 2S.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 So there is none of the low cost ones you recomend besides the Mavic? None will be able to follow a motorcycle touring on open streets? Well i guess a little more saving will be needed then. Thank you so much.
BUGS and HOlystone are definitely beast out there!
If this was your money - where would it go? to me looking through these and seeing the quality of each drones video - the F11 4k pro appears to have superior video than the rest? looks way more stable and less jittery/stuttery??? but i would like to ask your opinion please... would you buy the F11 4k pro over all of these AND would you buy it over say a DJI spark?
The best video about drones, although I don't know much English👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝. Thank you from Russia 🤝🤝🤝🤝
Thank you too!
Captain Drone, Great Video Sir. If they were the same price would you recommend HOLY STONE HS720E or the F11 4K PRO w/ Gimbal? Which is the overall better drone? Which takes better video? Thank you so much for your advice.
both
Bought the Bugs 20 EIS.
Eachine EX5 5G WIFI 1KM FPV GPS With 4K HD Camera Servo Gimbal 30mins Flight Time 229g Foldable RC Drone Quadcopter RTF - 5G WIFI Three Batteries 1000m With Storage Bag is this a better one than the ex4? I love the look and am wanting a drone
Excelente video, creo que me decidiré por el SJRC f11 pro 👍🏻
What Holy Stone or affiliate drone would you recommend I get as they are offering me a big discount. I can't decide. Something easy to fly and reliable also I live in the Regina Sk area. Appreciate your help.
The intro music is amazing.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree 👍
When you watch for sales, you can get the Hubsan Zino for under €299 and imo it's a much better quadcopter (with its 3 axis gimbal and much better range) than all mentioned quads in this video. At the moment (nov 13th) it's just €263 with THREE batteries (Banggood/CZ) or €272 with THREE batteries and bag (Banggood/ES).
Thank you,Captain,of course you get a thumbs up.How can I not give a fellow Captain,a small gesture not approval,and recognition?
Always nice reviews. Im new here and am enjoying the content. Have you heard of or have any thoughts on the EXO X7 Ranger? Good or bad Id love to know.
This is the best! Thank you!
Thanks for this info. I have just ordered a F11 4K Pro 😊
Next year: *The best drone under 250 grams and under 250 USD*

And soon of course they will have Pro version with 2-3 axis gimbals. In fact they are already there.
I didn't even watched the whole video and I've already tapped the Subscribe button. Something tells me that there's a lot to see in this channel 😉
"Discount only for the canadian customers..." What if i am from Canada but i live in Europe?😂
Ha ha... give it a try :-)
I'm in the U.S. but visiting Canada is on my bucket list. That count? :)
Thanks for this info. Wondering how much wind these can handle .. we’re on a lake and would like to film sailing & other water sports. Are any drones you know of waterproof? Or are the landings usually so well controlled that you wouldn’t have to worry about it ending up in the lake?
Just curious. Do you ever wake up some days and think to yourself. Screw this I don’t want to make videos anymore. Why did I ever start this channel....
If not. What drives you to continue. Downloading 3 or so videos a week. .???
I feel that way every morning... then I have a coffee and my attitude changes :-)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Three cheers for coffee!
I am glad your wife leaves you alone to do this channel. There are other drone channels that are just so tedious to watch. Yours are funny and fast pased, plus insiteful.
Hey Captain, thanks so much for the summary! Love your channel! Do you know if the F11 4K Pro allows you to shoot 1080P at 60fps?
Thanks!
I can't recall, but if it does, I would have mentioned that in the review.
I really want one of those Egg drones on your shelf behind you lol
Great job capt. I'm sure this video took some time to put together ...well done as always !!
EXCEPT FOR THE DJI MINI 2, IT'S MISSING THE MINI 2 REVIEW, CAPTAIN!
Bet that's wayy over $299!
@@thisismybadlogic4143 yea but captain hadn’t reviewed it yet man
That's almost $500 for only the standard version.
@@ArishVanNikon i meant that captain hadn't reviewed it yet
Greetings Brother. You are my go to guy for my drones questions. I have yet to pull the trigger on one...but this video helps me to dial it in. One question: You mentioned twice about 1080p being good for slow mo in post editing. Does that mean you can't do slow mo with 4k video?
Slow Motion in video is determined by the Frames Per Second. The higher the number, the better it is for slow motion. So if you film at 60 FPS, you then slow it down to 30 FPS when you edit and it looks smooth and slow.
Be patient. Save your money.... buy a real drone. Thank me later.
A dji products are all i will buy
Nice video. Very helpful. During your first couple sample clips, I was thinking the landscape almost looks like my part of the world ... and then I saw the OCTranspo busses. :D
I'm just starting out. I have a Mavic Mini but I've been thinking about getting a cheaper drone that's a little more expendable while I hone my skills.
How are you Captain drone. Love your videos. Still haven't bought my first drone yet. Just watched this video should I buy the f11 pro with three batteries for 90 minutes flight time for 239.00 or am I better off buying the Holly Stone hs720e for $285. I wanted something with a great camera and great videos. Tell me your thoughts. Thank you for responding. Ray
These are budget drones so it's all up to you.
New to all this and love your in depth videos. Just a quick question to which I can't seem to find an answer. Can a retired cell phone that has the appropriate wifi be used for drone control or do you need one hooked up to a cell network?
No cell tower necessary, so a phone with NO SIM card in it is still fine.
MJX B20 from Banggood to California was 17 days with regular shipping. Very stable in windy conditions FYI.
FINALLY Ive been looking for this video for mid range drones esp for beginners like me! Thanks Captain! 🤙🏼
Captain Drone. Im from Philippines. I like your videos and always watch it to learn more about drones. And because of your recommendation a year ago for budget drone I bought one, the beast sg906 pro and 3 months after sg906 pro 2 been released how sweet hahaha but no regrets.. i like this drone. Thanks.
Cool, thanks
your killing it man, these are great reviews you do on these, props!
Thank you!
All of these drones seem to use only proprietary batteries. Sure would be nice if they'd accept commonly available 18650, 21700, or 26650 cells.
Steve, thanks for this video. As always, lots & lots of very useful info to find our way in this amazing hobby 👍
Well done Captain...Have you reviewed the newly released (Aug 2021) JJRC X20 drone?...thanks...
I turned that one down for review. The specs did not impress me.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you sir...I'll give JJRC X20, 3 Gimbal/two batteries a try for $201.00...

Why? Captain abandoned ship, money will sink 😹
I told you the other day... I love this channel and that you single handedly got me into drones... and that I was buying the new Mini 2! Well I got it release day (video is up on my channel) AND I LOVE IT! Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate your channel!
A little bit too late Captain :). I bought my first drone 2 days ago and its a SG906 PRO (2Axis gimbal). It was dirt cheap so I wont cry if I crash it ;) But after that I opt for DJI Mini 2! Camera/video quality of those cheap chinese drones is just so unacceptable to me so I decided to go really cheap to learn to fly and upgrade to something more capable. Thanks.
Good reviews, thank you. I live about four miles from an airport and would like to fly a drone in doors. Does the Tello with it's limited range have the same airspace restrictions as the mini mavic
Nope, you can fly your TELLO in your area.
A nother great and informative video for a segment that is steadily growing, as this price point seems to have more and more bang for the buck. A lot of these options didn’t come on anything less than $500-$700
Another great review of Captain Drone with great products. I chose the F11 PRO 4K and I can't wait to see what time it will be in my hands. Hugs from Brazil.
please let me know if you love that drone I was thinking about getting it also or maybe getting the Holly Stone one
@@wed265 I still haven't been able to test the drone because unfortunately I had surgery on my lumbar spine. It is exactly like the SJRC F11 that I already have, very well built and withstands the wind well and is easy to control. I expect a lot from the new gimbal with the EIS. As soon as I test the drone, I'll post some videos and I'll tag you.
Thanks captain, that really helped me in choosing my drone.
Appreciate you great efforts🥶
My pleasure 😊
New DJI's Mini SE can be considered for the price of $299
Thanks a lot Captain, appreciate all of your videos of explaining those drone, its very valuable and beneficial to me a fresh newbie 👍👍
