One of the most important tips. Always know where the front of your drone is. Some people will even change the color of the front propellers to help keep track.
my syma 5xsw has a headless mode (I have never used it) where is uses the position of the controller to change where the front is
I have a mini drone, and it has a white light on the front and a red and blue light on the left side. Also, it has red props in the front, and blackprops in the back. It seems made for beginners, which is good, because I'm a beginner.
Can you believe your comment help me make 30 day worth of progress in 30 minutes I did exactly what you said and I have way more control of my drone
I have green LEDs indicating thenfront
Thank you! I just bought a used cheap Latrax Alias to learn how to fly and found this video really helpful!
Great video guys! I'm glad that there's lots of help for beginners
I like the five steps to show someone now to fly a drone. It seems like many people are just scared to touch the control after they see it fly. This is a good way to build some skills, some confidence and keep your drone out of harm's way until they are ready to advance to the next step.
Very nice video guys! I've been looking for this basic quad pilot training. Thank you!
Well it’s so weird to watch this old video and how drowns have really changed since then! 😊
Thanks. I’m just starting out and can use all the help I can get.
Great tips...starting to fly my new DJI Quadcopter next week and will keep your tips in mind. luckily I've been flying RC for quite a while now and hope it will help....
2 minutes into this and Im still waiting to start..... Jesus.... Droning on and on and on
Pun intended?
My first drone was an X5C and it lasted almost 3 years, its a great drone for learners. My more recent drones have headless mode so learning to fly heads in (point 5) does not seem necessary these days.
I learned with the Syma X5c.I had two hands then,so it was just a matter of practice.Next step was a blade 180qx.from there,I went to Yuneec,and Autel.
A test is a dji Spark.It,like the yuneec,and the Autel ,essentially flies itself.I would recommend,the Syma,with the caveat,that it has a really crappy camera,where the others have pretty decent cameras.Thanksnfor the video
This video brings back many memories with my first drone years ago it looks like this drone but a different brand and some of you might be watching this because your confused on the controls. When I got my first drone flying I crashed a lot but it's okay because the drone is not for professionals all we need to do is Never Give Up and Practice More. And we all know that a professional was once a begginer.
I just got the X5C for Christmas and have that exact controller. Mine is the blue one. Glad I found this cause I've never flown drones.
Just got my first one, your tip about ground effects really helped, ty
When I was about to give up on drones,I found a drone that I could fly very easy,a FY 603 Smart egg with altitude hold ,it would Hoover on it own ,then I could slowly stir around ,and it gave me the coincidence ,to fly ,I now have GPS drones and a new optical.flow drone , a Tkkj L603.as soon as I get cooler weather I will fly it .I think for beginners,use these things to help you.
Thanks for making this video. It's a great tutorial for beginners!
The Syma X5SW is my drone and an AWESOME one for the $$. I paid $40 for it and of course bought extra batteries, props and parts for it for a total of around $100. It comes with a camera which I don't use because I don't have a smart phone but don't care. It has 6 gyros so it hovers like a champ. I've been playing with it in my gameroom and have gotten very good with the controls. It comes with a 500mahr battery but it's not bad. Just a simple $20 upgrade and you get (6) 750mhr batteries with charger so you have endless fun. easy to fly? My god yes. Because of the gyros I can pick up a GI Joe guy off a table with ease. Now the trick is to put it into headless mode for beginners. Just follow the directions. It's a great toy!
Thank you, sir for doing these videos. Thanks to your instruction, I was able to take my Syma X5C-1 out on my first drone flight today. It may not have been pretty, but it was fun!
Nice - just keep flying!
thanks this video was really helpful ..
I bought the Syma x5SW today and looking for a tutorial videos, your video is helpful thank you very much. I will watch it again once my drone arrives to improve my skills.
Right on!
My dad ordered us a Syma X5C (I'm not sure whether it's the -1 the Amazon page is unclear) and I'm so excited to start flying it! Thanks for this it'll help a lot as I start flying
Great video to show it takes practice and perseverance.
Am a newbie...not done 1st flight yet. This WILL help.... THANKS !
Thanks i just got this drone and this was so helpful thank
Excellent learning video for us beginners. Thanks million man.
I like your phantom 4 and your blue x5c. You also explained the universal drone controls really well! great video ill have to check out your others can't wait to subscribe
Thanks!!! I’ve done my best flying after watching this video..
Awesome! I'm very glad to hear that.
Very good intro and thx! My 12 yr old son is interested in these and this looks like a good starter.
Great video
Congrats Kelly on this 1M views on this video. This is the one that got me hooked and never went back
thank you this helped me out alot
Thanks !!! this is really helping me!!
Thanks Kelly this is mine first drone video that I started to watch and then i was hooked you made a Drone monster. I was asked today, witch drone would be best to learn on and I sent this video. Great video Kelly
Great vid! Thank you.
Ah the x5c the good old teacher ;) Like a car without ESP servo Abs Airbags and so in;D
I practice theses on a regular there a must good video.
Great tips! The Latest Late Show is great!
thank you and happy holidays to you and your family 😎
Nice video for beginners. Thanks!
Great video as usual.
great lesson
Very helpful video. Thank you
watching this brings back memories of my first drone but it wasn't that hard. its like I had a natural gift for it.
Coming from the RC world I agree with most of what you are saying. I teach people how to hover tail in (this is also part of the learning to use the throttle to hold a hover) just the way I teach it. then once they can hover tail in I teach them how to fly straight away and straight back like you do and then left and right, I then teach them how to do the same with the nose in so they understand left is right and forward is backwards and so on. once they master this 99% of the orientation problems are gone as they know that just turning a 1/4 turn in any direction puts them in a place they can control! Great video again thanks for sharing.. and great choice of the first drone used to train I use a JJRC HSC5 for all my new pilots
Right on! You know, I have never done the exercise of hover "nose in" - that makes sense and should be part of the basics. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
Ahh the days before all the gyros, on helis, nose in inverted hehe
Day two for me today and I realized that right is left and away is towards me. I thought I did something wrong to the controls but I just worked with it and I didn't crash at all today. I'm kinda chuffed with myself. Roll on day 3 tomorrow
thanks bro very helpful information
Nice tip mate! 2 thumbs up:)
Enjoyed
Good info for a drone noob like me. I bought a U818A Kolibri to learn on, and the first thing I did was practice taking off and landing, over and over again.
Still working on mastering step 3. For me it's more like, "Forward, good. Now backward. Not that far backward! Forward again! Why is it going left? Go right, go right dammit! Stop! Sit! Stay! Arrghhh!"
Luckily I have a field full of tall, soft grass to practice my uncontrolled ground contact maneuvers.
J Bennett try trimming your drone if you have trim options so it doesn't drift off in different directions
Dankerater I've had problems setting the trim on this one. Sometimes it seems to work. Sometimes not so much.
Haha, hilarious comment. Lol 😂
J Bennett
I think trim can be awkward, I think it can be partly down to the controller.
I believe that you should re calibrate the Gryos before every flight on a level surface, Wait until lights stop flashing, then trim. Depends on drone model, only just started.
I don't think this one has gyros. I've thought of trimming it in the garage, to take the wind out of the equation. (There's always wind around here.) In any case, I finally bought an Autel X-Star Premium. That's a whole different experience, and a lot of fun.
LoL I have that one right now and I'm just starting to learn all over again but it is extremely fun I just picked one up from winners just a few minutes ago I'm going to have some fun in my classroom learning and watching the video right now
Thank you sirs!
I enjoy that the instructor is clearly an actual pilot of manned airplanes as well
Thant you for all the tips
Thanks for taking time to make a video to help those of us that are beginning.
I am in my mid 60's and I am trying to learn flying the quadcopter so that I can do it with my grandsons.
Aww,your grand kids is so lucky to have you as their grandpa
Great video ! I am learning my drone ,and crashing a lot, this helps. Thanks !
yukonjeffimagery tip, I just started flying my drone at Christmas and I haven't crashed once because you just don't go crazy with it and just take it easy
I am in Alaska and I have to fly in the house because its stormy a lot.
yukonjeffimagery My dad bought me a drone for Christmas i mastered in like 2 weeks then my dad always ask to fly my drone next thing you know.. crashes and drone breaks
good training 👍🏻
Awesome shirt...

The background music is too loud
David, you gotta check this out - you will love it: ua-cam.com/video/uCI74H-NuqI/v-deo.html 😍🔥
Lone star drone reminds me of my old military training haha. Good vid.
WHAT MILITARY WAS THAT!!!! SUICIDE BOMBER HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Ok ill stay tuned.def a subscriber
cool informative video,thanks man ! I'm subscribing to your channel.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
John Wedrall
Great stuff my friend. Thanks for sharing I subscribe to you thanks again 😎
I need to learn. How to fly drone. X. 2.4 ghar from biging
The white drone is Syma I too bought the same two years ago.
I remember when I was 1st practicing hovering
I have that same one I bought on eBay for $50 it's definitely a trick to fly to say the least. But I think I'm ready for the phantom.....(wife may disagree)$$
good drone i love it
hola muy buen video espero que sigan haciendo este metarial¡¡¡!!! Voy a continuar mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un abrazo nos vemos pronto ☝️👍🏽
Interesting thing that I found is that there are RC helicopters that performs almost the same function and that was how i learned. I now have a mavic 2 and I love it.
very good information Sir. Thanks
Great!
From 6:39 to 7:04 the quadcopter was in the air for 49 seconds. That's the Syma power!
Nice and funny video though, thanks :)
just wanted to visit this video again. It was one of my favorites for learning how to fly a syma x5c. cheers if you get this Kelly.👍👍
Cool I'm buying one!
Thank you.UK
The first problem you describe is very true although a better to describe it is propwash, not ground effect which refers to an strong increase in lift when flying at low distance over ground.
I just bought a new drone this lesson will help me thanks
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! i suck at flying XD
I love flying drones
Great..i am a fan of Herman Brood !! greetzz from Holland !!
This was very helpful, my first vid on the subject, i use drones to film aerial footage of downhill biking
That's great. Thanks for the comment!
Es que que q we ave al
wow...nice...
Thanks guys. I am new to Drone flying and I chose a $100 non GPS style drone for the exact reason you stated... if I can fly this drone proficiently without GPS assistance I assume the DJI or Parrot Drones will be really fun and hopefully easier
You are correct! Happy flying!
Always start with the bare bones. So you can appreciate the features on a nicer quad and be a better pilot in general.
Dan may I suggest looking at a typhoon h. By the way I still have the gravely mower, love it
Dan's Vlog we all kinda start the same way, less complex to gps drones.
Yep Iv started have plans to offer video shots of people’s cars so doing all the paper work and building a small company
I got my drone unused at a tag sale for $5 and this really helped me learn!
That's great! Thanks for watching!
You can practice this with your Tello too. To use ATTI mode with Tello, cover the VPS with tape. Advanced users only. Thanks RSD!!!!!
Xcrost vps
Thx m8
I love syma drones.cheap and they fly great for the price
You could call the right toggle a yoke btw...it controls pitch, yaw, and roll in standard planes
Good video,better after you turned the music off.My suggestion,and i am just a beginner is to by a mini inside home drone to learn to fly.Sometimes cheaper and you can fly anytime you want.Happy Flying.:}
Thank you great video. I have the syma 5c and I'm using it to learn on before I get something more expensive. Loved your video and I hope you do more of these. I have to master this one before I graduate to something better.. Having fun with it and it's almost bomb proof. I put a better antenna on it to keep it from flying away out of range. lmao
+goriverman Thanks for watching!
I'm watching this as I'm charging the battery for my new drone, it's all assembled and ready to fly once it's done charging. Great video, very informative. I plan to practice some of the maneuvers you showed him as I get to learn my drone.
How do you u like your drone?
And what did u buy? Thanks for the help!
I got a Dura VR drone for Christmas. The drone is really small so once it gets too high or so far away I can't tell which direction it's going. Should be fun if I ever figure it out though. I have 2 batteries that last around 6 minutes each. So, I get around 12 - 15 minutes to practice flying and then 2 hours of recharging batteries. Today is too windy to take it out.
Drones are so fun
Good Job ;)
Wow he's like a pro now!
Hi Kelly, love the channel. I am new to drones. My first purchase is a Storm Type A S3 from HeliPal, and I have the radiolink AT9 transmitter/remote control. One thing I am a little confused on is the channels.Is there any good resource on how all of the transmitter/receiver stuff works, and then more specifically, how to make sure I am on the right channel on the drone, controller, and the FPV goggles? One question is, once you bind the controller to the drone, will they follow each other onto another channel? Or are "channels" only a concern between FPV goggles and the video transmitter on the drone?
To get my FatShark Dominator V3 to work, I basically had to keep pressing a channel change button on my drone, and then cycle through all channels on the fatshark after each press. Eventually the display came up, but it looked kind of grainy which I didnt expect when I am right next to it. Is there more than one channel that could show me video on the FatShark, but it won't look good until I find the best one?
Sorry for all the rookie questions but I have been reading the manuals for drone, AT9, and FatShark and there isn't anything that brings it all together coherently, so if you know a resource that could help me that would be great.
Nice communication
Had a lot of fun! Thanks again!!
Are you planning on getting one of your own drones
After this, definitely!
Best drones for photographs
Fake
nice day it looks like
Cool gadget
I like my X15 good drone.
I hope you can have dual screen where on one side you show the movement of your hand and the other screen the drone movement. That would be awesome for beginners.
Good idea. I will try something like that in a later video. Thanks for watching!
