Very nice review! I was driving myself crazy trying to complete the vertical calibration. The book appears to instruct you to turn the drone in a steering wheel motion. Here you show that vertical calibration is a forward rolling motion. I am thankful that people like you know exactly how to make quality instructional videos where you detail everything and can be heard perfectly. Thank you! Keep making the quality videos you do so well.
Thank you for posting this, I am new to flying and haven’t flown the D58 yet...I’m kinda scared, but watching this video gave me a little peace and some more tips than I’ve seen...Thank you again
I know! The instructions make it appear as if the Vertical calibration is done by moving the drone in a steering wheel motion. Luckily this video was well done and very informative. The vertical calibration is actually done the way it was demonstrated here. There are a few other instructions in the book that are not clear as well.
Awesome review and flights my friend. This one aint too shabby for a brushed motor GPS bird, camera looks pretty good too. Looks like you had some kind of interference with the hat cam, but it doesn't detract from the cool video. Sorry I haven't been around for a while, I've had so many jobs to do, and still do lol. Soon be winter and the jobs will fall off giving me some more YT time !!! Wishing you and yours my very best wishes Pete. Take good care and keep up the good work brother 👍👍👍☮☮☮🍻🍻🍻
Thanks Tim :) Yeah, I was wondering what was going on with you but glad it is work related :) I'm also keeping busy with a bunch of stuff myself :) Best wishes to you bro!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺
I love this drone....way better than my Walmart Vivitar...the D58 returns home when low on power... my Vivitar just falls to the ground in 2 minutes of flying...shuts off and falls.. Walmart drones are extremely stupid. I’m definitely getting another in black instead of white
If not calibrated...it will be difficult to fly....make sure the blue light is solid on the remote... sometimes it might take a long time. To get the solid light. But I fly mine in my neighborhood...love recording cars from above....on July 4 it was fun to fly...until they started trying to hit it... they never hit iT I simply went higher....I call mine the trollicopter.
So do i need a micro sd card or can i just save any pics and vids on my smartphone? Does the drone contains a sd card or do i have to buy it additionally?
Let me just say great reviews. Also what camera did you use to Shoot this video review with ? I’m not sure if you can answer but I need that camera. Please let me know if you can
Early birthday gift! Your tutorial was the driving assurance of this purchase! Very well done, clear, and everything explained perfectly! I do have a question.. I can record video and take photos, but they don’t save on the card, just to my phone. Any idea? Thank you again ! Chuck Baltimore, MD
GIL SIMON you do it through a computer, or even a digital camera. Found out that this drone does not support an SD card higher than 32mb. Other than that, love this drone!
How do you tilt it while mid flight im ten and I have this drone, and I came here to figure out how to tilt camera while flying in the air, can anyone tell me? Edit: I already knew how to calibrate and stuff I just needed to know the camera tilt
Great video! I am not getting the second beep after the horizontal and vertical turns to confirm the compass calibration? Any ideas why this is happening?
Jesse Hardin Yes, it may be that it is interference from near by objects especially phones or metal. Try the rotation away from those object outdoors :)
First off thanks for a super useful and informative video. Second of all, forgive my lack of knowledge on basic things. I'm considering this as my first ever drone purchase after a few hours research. Is the gimble swappable? I see that the camera is removable. Does this mean I could swap it out for a higher quality camera like a GoPro or similar? Or is the removal purely to help reduce weight/increase flight time.
¿Qué haces cuando nunca da el segundo pitido después de la segunda rotación y lo he intentado muchas veces 1ª rotación se enciende las 4 led.2ª se quedan fijas 2 y las otras 2 parpadean en teoría no se calibra soy un poco novato pero sigo al pie de la letra tanto el video como el libro de instrucciones.
Is it meant to rise in altitude before coming home because I was using it in an area with trees above and when I clicked return to home it crashed into the trees
Great review! I just received this drone as a gift and so far I am impressed. One thing I noticed was that when I record video using the app to capture the video to my phone, it only records in 720p. Does it record the higher quality 1080p when you record to an SD card using the remote?
There is some kind of flashing going on on the flight test portion of the video. I'm not sure what caused it. It is not there on the edit but got in there somewhere in the editing process. 🤷♂️
I just got this drone and love, it... however can the setting be changed to auto return home at a different battery percentage? like 15% instead of 20%? i can't find anything like that in the settings. good little drone. a joy to fly.
I just bought the Potensic D85 and was wondering if everything is the same with the D85 as with the one in this video?? I have never flown drones before so I'm just asking. Thank you!! Awesome review, just wish it was with the D85 as there are not many videos on that model as of 14 NOV 2019
I tried to fly mine brand new but it would not take off. I followed step by step as instructions and your video step by step but it did not elevate. What could I possible have don wrong?
is it possibl eto change the camera attached to it from 4k to 1080p if dont like the pictures taken by 4k? i want to make movie videos with itin the air.
Yes the phantom is a profesional drone and this.... although being great and budget does not compare but would recomend this. Also the videos and pictures are ok on this pictures are better tho ; )
I notice you are operating the drone with the remote and no cell phone. Can this drone be operated with out the need for a cell phone or ipad? If so, are all the functions available with out the cell phone?
I want to buy a low budget drone. (Anything under USD 200) I am confused between so many options available. Can you suggest any one which according to you is the best ? Preference 1- Picture / Video quality Preference 2- Smooth Flying.
What do you do when it never gives the second beep after the second rotation? Mine just continues to search for GPS and says “Weak GPS Signal” I’ve tried this several times in my penthouse clear view of sky 30 stories high as well as the beach and still nothing no matter inside or out yet the phone shoes the camera on and exactly on the map where the GPS is. Yet the drone just continues to flash lights slowly around in a clockwise rotation green in from red in back. Never ever connect what do you do to fix this? Please help thank you.
RC Escape No nothing at all I’ve tried it inside outside really high up as well as different states and now at the beach house in California and still not working at all. Literally I can see the camera live, the beeps exactly like your video except the last one which you say is the one that tells you the GPS has been acquired and it never ever connects no matter what I do. Any suggestions? Or hard rest! The company has never emailed me back and have Been no help at all.
@@RCEscape Thanks for the help :) i just want to do nice videos in the sky and put it in youtube(or not) just for hobby but what i know its has a good camera its the dji but that ones are soo expensive...im gona check what you write thank you.

Love the bad translations on potensics instructions. XD.

This video was a great help my drone is the same but model# is u88s from another brand
Have also seen people using Wi-Fi boosters to get more fpv distance from the drone 🤙🤙
It is a pain because it is 5g wifi but it will increase range.

You da man, had trouble with gps also. Thanks
When I first got the drone it blew my mind because the camera moves with the remote
Just bought this drone. Thanks for the review!
Is it good

Excellent review, thank you! I can’t figure out how to get mine to hover in place. I must be doing something wrong.
make sure you do the calibration correctly.

But I fly mine in my neighborhood...love recording cars from above....on July 4 it was fun to fly...until they started trying to hit it... they never hit iT I simply went higher....I call mine the trollicopter.
great video. how did you manually land and stop the motor from the controller @16:18 (not using the return home button)?
just bring it down and hold the stick down to disarm.
So do i need a micro sd card or can i just save any pics and vids on my smartphone?
Does the drone contains a sd card or do i have to buy it additionally?
you don't need a sd card to record.
I have one question? Does someone now were to buy the charger for the batterie
Let me just say great reviews.
Also what camera did you use to Shoot this video review with ? I’m not sure if you can answer but I need that camera. Please let me know if you can
Thank you. I’m using the original mobius cam :)
@@RCEscape it wasn’t a body camera used to make review ? I know theres a camera on drone . Was wounding what kinda POV camera used ?
Kevin Loved the review I just bought one
Great video and information thanks for sharing cheers have a great day ahead
Just got one. Nice review my man.
Hi, does someone used this dron for sea fishing? thanks in advance.
Awesome video
Has anybody found a way to mount a tablet holder on the controller?
Great review Pete, Nice flying quad. 👍👍👍
Thanks Ray!! :) 🍺🍺🍺😁
@@RCEscape You got it buddy. You are a fantastic reviewer. Love your channel. 👍👍👍
What fairly good priced drone can battle 30 mph wind and how can I get that INFO on the wind gust capability of a drone
Go with something that has brushless motors to fight the wind but try not to fly in windy conditions.
Early birthday gift! Your tutorial was the driving assurance of this purchase! Very well done, clear, and everything explained perfectly! I do have a question.. I can record video and take photos, but they don’t save on the card, just to my phone. Any idea?

Have you formatted the sd card? It should work.
RC Escape This may sound absurd, how do you format the Micro SD card? Through the drone itself? Thanks
GIL SIMON you do it through a computer, or even a digital camera. Found out that this drone does not support an SD card higher than 32mb. Other than that, love this drone!
hi amazing vid as always gave u a like what range does it go for and i was just wondering do you prefer thisdrone or the sg906 pro?
How do you tilt it while mid flight im ten and I have this drone, and I came here to figure out how to tilt camera while flying in the air, can anyone tell me?

The camera can be removed but it is not compatible with other brands of cameras.
Does this have follow me mode?

Does this have the advanced 9-axis gyro like the T25?
Is it meant to rise in altitude before coming home because I was using it in an area with trees above and when I clicked return to home it crashed into the trees
Yes, it will rise up if you are lower than the designated altitude and if you are above the designated altitude it will not :) 🍺
Can someone tell me if the D58 has the
headless option?
Great review! I just received this drone as a gift and so far I am impressed. One thing I noticed was that when I record video using the app to capture the video to my phone, it only records in 720p. Does it record the higher quality 1080p when you record to an SD card using the remote?
Yes, the phone app records in lower quality than the sd card :) 🍺
nice review my brother!
Thanks birdman!! :) 🍺🍺🍺😁

I thought it was my phone, I'm casting to my tv.
It was fine in the editor but it saved it with them flashes. ?
hi great review! do you think i can add parabolic mirrors to the remote control to extend its flight distance?
sure, why not :)
is it possible to change the camera i already ordered to 1080P.. i ordered 4k
I just got this drone and love, it... however can the setting be changed to auto return home at a different battery percentage? like 15% instead of 20%? i can't find anything like that in the settings. good little drone. a joy to fly.
I think it is a preset parameter for it to return at 20% :)
@@RCEscape I believe you're right.

is the camera HD?

The d85 is identical to this drone.
ua-cam.com/video/Vuojtsh95y8/v-deo.html
Nice video! Do you know what the present altitude is when return to home is enabled please :)
I think it is set to 20 meters....you can change it in the app I do believe.
@@RCEscape thankyou! I figured the app out and the height settings! And thanks for the video it helped me a hell of a lot setting up!!
What is the maximum wind speed this drone can handle?
I tried to fly mine brand new but it would not take off. I followed step by step as instructions and your video step by step but it did not elevate. What could I possible have don wrong?
Have you calibrated the compass outside and waited for the gps to be ready?
@@RCEscape Yes sir, I followed your step by step.
is it possibl eto change the camera attached to it from 4k to 1080p if dont like the pictures taken by 4k? i want to make movie videos with itin the air.
If you want to make movie videos, you need to spend a whole lot more money. These are toy grade drones for practice.
@@RCEscape do you recommend one .. ? p.s. i do own osmo action camera if that can be attached to some of them..
@@DjJohnnyTheripper
Like I said, these are toy drones.
Compare Potensic D58 to Holy Stone HS120D ... Which do you think is the better buy?
which ever is cheaper
Mine turns green when charged
Can't get it to connect to my android phone
How does this compare to the Phantom?
not in the same class.
Yes the phantom is a profesional drone and this.... although being great and budget does not compare but would recomend this. Also the videos and pictures are ok on this pictures are better tho ; )
I just bought one do we have to re calibrate and re do all that every time we use it?
yes you do.
Whats the range of the drone?
Flying starts at 11.10
I notice you are operating the drone with the remote and no cell phone. Can this drone be operated with out the need for a cell phone or ipad?
If so, are all the functions available with out the cell phone?
You can fly without a phone but there's some features only the phone app has that the remote does not have.
@@RCEscape Would it still have follow me and orbit feature?
@@cali420king
No. you can download the app and see for yourself.
will it work with FPV goggles? which do you recommend?
FPV goggles are used with 5.8ghz video transmitter which these toy grades do not have.
Plot twist he smoked that cop.
I want to buy a low budget drone. (Anything under USD 200) I am confused between so many options available. Can you suggest any one which according to you is the best ?
Preference 1- Picture / Video quality
Preference 2- Smooth Flying.
I'd get something better :)

maybe they got one too and kept one batt from your gift.
Actually the one with 2 batteries is more expensive because of the case aswell :)
camera is bad...:( im too planing to buy but for me the camera is important but all of them soo expensive.....
Cameras are most always bad on these toy grade ones. Get something with EIS.
