    Captain Drone, I really appreciate your thorough and unbiased reviews. I ordered the SJRC Z5 5G model for its WiFi range. If it gives me 300 - 400 m. as advertised I'll be a happy camper. Haven't seen any other drone in this price range that provides close to 600 m. control distance or 14 minutes of flight time. Best part is its sub-250 gram weight so not (yet) subject to Transport Canada Drone Regulations. If you ever get bored I'd like to see a comparison review of the SJRC Z5 5G versus the C-Fly Dream (another sub 250 gram drone). I also hope at some point in the near future DJI comes out with A Spark Lite, perhaps a hybrid Ryze Tello/ DJI Spark combo giving us the low weight, high performance that would tempt me to bust the piggy bank wide open. Cheers!

    I do not have it with anyone, indeed beautiful review but .... there was one, I say a review of
    brushless drones which says that motors have a maximum life cycle of 6
    hours ... if a few bumps happen even less ... divide the
    price for 6 hours (maximum!) and then you see how much the drone costs you
    per hour .... maybe you took it with 2 batteries for 120 €, a little bit for a maximum of 6 flight hours (probably much less)

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  4 роки тому +3

      Brushed motors do not last as long as Brushless motors. A brushed motor will last for hundreds of hours as long as you don't crash the drone. A brush-less motor will last for thousands of hours and you can crash the drone as much as you want and the motors will keep working.

    Captain I have become a huge fan I have unsubscribed from several other channels you are precise and trustworthy I have dabbled with several drones for a year had 3 fly aways and purchased some that were crap. My question with all I spent I could have a DJI but water under bridge what GPS drone would you recommend for me on low budget around 100 dollars I am not at this point concerned a lot about photos I would like one that I can fly at a distance and if I lose orientation or go too far It will come back once I feel comfortable I will go to DJI any suggestions would be greatly appreciated If you have an assortment of batteries so hoping I could use them as back up but not a consideration if you recommend one thank you Captain keep up the awesome work I never leave your channel without learning something

    @charlesarnold4963 5 років тому +3

    Your reviews are really good and informative. I bought one of these a few days ago. Initially the drone flew off in a random direction. Then I calibrated the gyro (not mentioned in your review) and it flew nicely. The version I have is 5G 1080p. The handbook specifies a weight of 266g. When I weighed it on the kitchen scales it registered 277g but the scales are old and out of calibration (I checked using coins). But, being greater than 250g, I shall have to register it, which is a slight nuisance. Also the battery on this model is 1500mAh. Another review highlighted that the camera only rotates upwards to about 5 deg below horizontal, which is a shame. I’m looking forward to flying it in a big open area when the weather improves, which is pretty much non-stop rain here in England.

      Laur Adrian when a quad otter gets near the ground there is the “ground effect”when the lift increases. Try cutting the motors when it is near the ground. I found the take off/land button worked OK for me. I have only flown it in my back garden, which is quite small. I have yet to try it properly in a wide open space. In the UK that is hard to find...

    The brushed motors are a deal breaker for me. In my experience you'll be lucky to get 6 hours flight time before a motor burns out. That's just my opinion, I would have probably bought one 2 years ago myself, of course 2 years ago 99.00 wouldn't buy much of anything, especially not one with GPS. I do believe for just maybe 50.00 more you could get a business model. As I said, just an opinion.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798

      I would say tiny brushed motor technology is much better today. Just think, most of my power tools from 15 years ago are all brushed motors and they all work perfect. These little brushed motors will last years as long as they don't get dirt/liquids in them.

      @@CAPTAINDRONE798 your right, everything has come a long way, but I have still burnt lots of brushed motors from use(I Used them a lot, but took good care, letting them cool between flights) as far as brushed tool go, if there used for work everyday, you will be changing brushes about once a year. By no means am I trying to put your review down, I just believe if this is going to be a long time hobby for someone they should stay away from brushed motors. I race quads, which dumps amperage through my motors, and usually the bearings go before the motor burns. As I said its just my experience, and opinion, so everyone take it as you wish, we all don't have to agree about everything to get along.

I've been doing some research and I narrowed it down to 2 competitors. The Z5 and the C-fly dream. I was wondering if you could help me decide which one I should buy, if it isn't too much trouble.

    Hi Cptn Drone. Big Fan. Thank you for the reviews. Not my first drone.
    Just for fun the Z5 that was purchased thru geekbuying and it is having an issue with what I am guessing is the bearing or the housing of the rod that connects to the gear which connects to the motor. The motor spins freely and there is no visible damage on the gear but when I connect and spin both of them on the same spot ther is a click and the other props don't do that.
    I reached out to geekbuying and its been under 30 days of purchase but they are telling me that because of the shipping cost and the time it would take to ship it back to China that they would offer me a $40 refund. Not to happy with the offer. Any suggestions?
    And do you recommend the c fly dream? looking for drone at 250grams and under from now on... Any insight on dji spark 2? Thanks Cap

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  5 років тому +2

      Drones that have brushed motors usually will have a gear system. The gear system is designed to stop turning when the prop hits something. Dirt can get into the gears and causes noises or cause them not to work. The X9 Heron and C Fly Dream are similar. I like the X9 Heron.

I just figured out today after a week that in order to turn the remote off you must hit the power button twice close together and hold the button down for 3 secs the 2nd time. This is probably a safety feature to keep from accidentally turning it off in flight. Good luck. Hope this helps.

    Which is the heavy duty Hoodie? Not the zipper one.

      The zippered hoodie is what I consider to be a light material yet TEE SPRING calls it heavy duty I believe. I've had mine for a few months and it has stood up to constant wear.
