    Best thing about this quadcopter is that you can store it inside the transmiter sit it down,and never fly it again lol

    very nice mini quadcopter, i bought this one month ago it was tricky at firts , so i did learned very good how to fly a drone and im doing some upgrades ordering another bigger quads.. i have lots fun with this while im on the computer .. this is whta his name says: sharper flyer it lead you to become a good to perfect drone pilot.

  • @marymartus8232
    @marymartus8232 7 років тому +1

    I bought this drone a couple of weeks ago, and I thought that there was something wrong with me! Now I know that is not the case. I thought it looked neat and saw that it stored inside the controller. -& just assumed that it would have the usual features such as flips and multiple rates. I couldn't believe it when I opened it and flew it. -what a disappointment!! I totally agree with you, Ryan! What's the point of it when there are so many better drones out there for the same price??

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +1

      They just pull off (may be easier to pry them off from below). And you just push the new prop on. Make sure you replace the prop with one that has the same pitch as the prop you are replacing.

    @ReneeNme 7 років тому +1

    I saw these today at Walmart for $22.00 and thought " Oh well, may as well give it a shot at that price ". I should have checked with your channel first for a review as your my go to guy when it comes to toy grade quads, Ryan. These things totally ... yeah. It's going back to the store tomorrow. Oh, and the only reason I gave it a go is because I already own a DX-2 and rather like it. It's no Hubsan X4 series, but it's a decent enough of a flier. The DX-1 though ?? Pfftt.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      Right!? The DX-2 is not bad at all, but the DX-1 seems like it has completely different flight programming, and it just feels so weird in the air. No idea what they were thinking with this one, and they clearly didn't do any research of the competition, to make sure it flies just as well as the other nanos.

  • @billybbob18
    @billybbob18 4 роки тому

    Once you get the hang of the controls and get used to the delay and total lack of power, then you can fly this around. It's very difficult to control. The slightest breeze may as well be a storm as you will need to make a forced landing. The "auto landing" feature is actually a flaw. There is no warning when power is low. That's where auto land comes in. It's a forced landing from a dead battery. ROFL

    Hey Flyin Ryan, I bought my DX-1 Sunday, and it didn't come with a prop gaurd, I didn't see one in the box or transmitter. It's not that big of a deal to me though.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      Weird. Wonder if maybe you got some sort of open-box return, a packaging error, or maybe they stopped including that, as a way to save a bit of money.

  • @skinwalker_schizo4526
    @skinwalker_schizo4526 5 років тому

    Sure, this lacks some features and can be misleading on the box, but this is the first drone in the Dx series, so it's not as perfect as the later ones. But I believe this was made to be for beginners like me and for simplicity.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  5 років тому +1

      Yeah, but beginners would be better off flying something that is easier to fly, and flies well. I am a pro, and I had a hard time flying this thing.

    • @skinwalker_schizo4526
      @skinwalker_schizo4526 5 років тому

      @@theimacman I guess so. The thing about this drone that sucks most for me is that the propellers get damaged easily, even with the guard on. One broke and I found it hard to replace it with a spare.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  5 років тому

      That's another good reason to get something more popular, like the Cheerson CX-10. There are tons of spares, and add-ons, etc, that you should be able to find for that nano quad on Amazon, eBay, etc.

    Yeah I felt disappointed about it. I had one for about 10 minutes till I stopped because 1: it was a bad flyer and 2: had no charger so I accidentally grabbed an open one? But with still some power i flew it and yeah it's so hard that it would be so easy to hit a wall... Just returned it and tried the DX-2 and a tremendous difference. So smooth and really hovers soon as the first flight. Really loved your review you earned a new sub. What's the flight time for the DX-2?

    • @theimacman

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      There are a TON of better quads under $25, if you look through my reviews. In the same size class, the first one that comes to my mind is the Cheerson CX-10. That blows this thing out of the water, and I think you can probably get it for under 20 bucks these days. :)

    I had to settle for this glorious contraption today cause one I wanted are is gone from the stores lol.
    As I figured i'll go the hard learning curve route with the micro ,then others will be cake.
    Thing is, I'm lost on how i'm supposed to do anything useful w this in 2-3 mins. max flight time.
    Anyone else seem to have this issue?
    Maybe I should go up in my price for a first drone not at Wal*mart ?
    I don't really want a camera yet till I master it. But the DX-1 deff is proving difficult to get any progress.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  6 років тому

      Yeah, if you're trying to learn on a nano (especially this one), you're gonna have a very hard time. Nanos are harder to fly than larger quads, and this one is particularly hard to fly. I would suggest at least moving up to the DX-2, or maybe check out the Syma X5C on Amazon, etc.

      Nah, that's not my area of interest/expertise, and I don't have very good means of filming that sort of flying.

    I'd be happy as heck just if the props would turn. Fully charged, new batteries, turn on drone, fast lights then slow, stick up then down to get the beep, nothing.

      Sounds defective. Return it for an exchange, or refund.

    It’s $20 what do you expect?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  4 роки тому

      You can get much better for less than $20. And, even if it's only $20, do you want me to suggest that you spend $20 on junk?
