If you have a drone, how long have you been flying one? If you haven't flown a drone, what is holding you back?
Money is holding me back. I lost my job on December 8, 2020. I was working for a really bad company, and a really bad general manager.
Nobody really "flies" a DJI drone, they "operate" it. You're only barely in control. You give it inputs and it flies itself. If you actually wanna fly check out FPV drones.
As a pilot of a another style of aircraft, the recommendations of practicing basics like take offs, landings, and maneuvers are spot on. Thank you Alex.
Excellent video for newcomers. As always, a few comments... It should be emphasized that ever if you get a Mini, it is a tool, not a toy. Don't let the size fool you. It can do some serious work and can also do some damage if out of control. I recommend (for US) registering a Mini anyway on day 1, even though the bone-stock Mini 's weight is under the weight requirement. As soon as you put leg extensions and maybe a strobe you'll be over and have to register anyway. Just do it and not worry. Almost any accessory will put you over the limit. Take the 10 minutes and the $5 and just go register it. Secondly, remote ID won't be a requirement for at least 18 months. From a personal standpoint I believe that RID requires extreme measures to comply and what it takes far outweighs a relatively non-existent problem that has no data to substantiate it. Knowing what I know about government, I believe that at some point we could see RID used much like red-light cameras where you could receive a fine in the mail out of the blue just like you do in your car today. JMO.
I love the determination man. I’ve been here since your first iPhone video lol.
You seriously rock! Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel friend!
Some great advice Alex. Stay safe out there. The wife and I are dealing with Covid and this stuff is no joke. Do whatever it takes to avoid this stuff. Good job, Alex.
Alex, these video's are consistently great! You have managed to hit on most of the subjects I'm interested in. Drones are cool 😎. I'll be purchasing one in the near future and this info is rock solid. Thanks brother!
WOW, I'm honored to have folks like you watching the channel. Considering the time and effort that goes into each one of these, your feedback is greatly appreciated! Stay well friend!
great video on the beginner drone phase which i hope to get into later on this year.
i love reading manuals as i open box and explore whatever it is I've added to the gear. I know, sounds nerdy, but sometimes minute features can be hidden in the tiniest paragraphs or behind asterisks... nerds rock... and so does PHOTOGRAPHYTALK!
Larry my friend, you don't skip a beat and I admire your support to this channel and our videos! You rock as well buddy!
I must compliment you on your ad placements. It made for an enjoyable viewing experience unlike most UA-cam channels 👍😁
Hey friend, I would love to take credit for that, however it's a setting in the back office with UA-cam that my team set. Either way, thanks for stopping by and watching the video!
Another great video - thanks Alex!
Tips and tricks are always inspiring and helpful. AND MUCH APPRECIATED!! 😃
Thank you Alex you put some some very good information. I just purchased my Mavic Mini-2 and I must after watching your Video I now have some good data to work with a my Foundation for flying my Mini-2...A big Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge,,Ron from Maine
Great information! Thank you, Alex!
Doug, you are so welcome buddy! Thank you for supporting the channel and leaving feedback today!
Alex, great video. Also, thank you for your service ( US ARMY )
Right on Alex. Interesting and informative drone video with some nice practice tips. Thank you.
Always excellent to hear from you Peter, thank you for stopping by and leaving valuable feedback and supporting the channel!
Thank you Alex, super informative. Great advice for somebody like me who might get a drone soon.
I'll have to come back to this once I get a drone.
very good and very informative I am a newly Part 107 pilot and new to photography. and you are correct you need to practice etc...more you do the small stuff better you are when you start to use it for those great shots. as my Galaxy S10+ and Mavic Air 2 are my cameras. it has been fun over at PhotographyTalk I am learning so much. The big thing about the wind is it will eat up battery life so you may not make it back. Handshake thanks.
Way to go brother! We are proud to have you part of the family... thank you for super valuable feedback! Regarding wind, heck yeah it will eat up your battery life much quicker than you think! See you around and stay well!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Waving from The Bahamas :)
Another excellent video, Alex. I have just shared it to the Mavic Pilot’s Forum as a new pilot was asking questions in the last few days and seeking advice. I hope that was okay with you. This was one of the best beginner’s guides that I have seen on YT. Comprehensive, patient, thorough and encouraging. And a good overview on safety, whether flying under FAA rules in the USA or when making personal flight safety assessments elsewhere in the world. You even commented on respecting other people’s privacy when flying near them. Thanks for posting. Cheers, from New Zealand 👍😎 🍺🍺🎸🍀 (P.S. I hope you found time to do that Google Earth and Street View visit down to my part of the NZ coastline that you were asking about! 👍 )
David you are the man! Thank for the kind words and the support to the channel. And thank you for sharing this as well! Regarding street view... I got distracted in small town: 6 Hawick St
Roxburgh, Otago... look at the red building! Talk about a great photo opportunity. When all this Covid nonsense is over, I hope to visit your country!
@@photographytalk Aha! You need to GE Tauranga, NZ ....... that’s my back yard! 👍😎🎸🍀 (Did you mean The Commercial Hotel on the corner? We have a few places like that!🍺🍺)
Watching the video as a result of seeing it on the Mavic Pilots Forum. I'm UK based, but the advice is the same the world over. Good stuff.
@@couplandsj The Fellowship of the Drone .... ! 😉 Cheers from NZ 🍺🍺👍😎
Thanks, great info. I just found this channel, I have 3 drones.
Enjoyed the video and found the information very valuable as I'm giving serious consideration to adding a drone to my toolbox.
Hey Clifford, thank you for stopping by today. From someone that has been flying for a long time, having a drone with me is just about as important as having my camera with me! Can't wait to hear what you get!
@@photographytalk It will be a DJI Mini 2 if I pull the trigger. Your review made the difference. No sensationalism just good information that someone can use to evaluate their needs vs capabilities in the real world. That review along with this video is really pushing me close to pulling the trigger. If it wasn't for budget, LOL, isn't that always the case.
Great insight
Great one simple, informative and descriptive.👍🏻
How are you doing Vide?! Things good on your side of the world? Have you been getting out with your camera much? Thank you for stopping by today!
@@photographytalk Hey bro good to hear from you again. Tbh things are still the same in 2021 but yes I've been working with my camera lately. Stay safe bro🤗✌🏻
flu drone its a beautiful and unic
Sorry friend, I'm not following you? Hope you are doing well!
@@photographytalk o I had the T9 active in phone haha. I was saying flying drones is so beautiful and you you need practice that's true.
Re use of a drone for "commercial use": if I were to become monetized on UA-cam and used a drone for video & photo content for the channel, would that constitute commercial use? This is purely hypothetical since my area is so flush with air traffic, drone use is out of the question anyway.
john, i have seen just such videos, several actually, where the faa contacted people who used drone footage on their monetized channels and were reprimanded and required to have to license for money making purposes with a drone. forget what that license is but its a thing.
@@larryhaley3 thanks. I'm not at all surprised.
Very good question. Honestly I'm not sure. I think I will call up FAA myself on that one. Now are you talking about a full blown drone channel or are you talking about occasional b-roll from drone?
Perhaps 107? I'm going to call FAA tomorrow on this topic and to what extent of usage is permitted without.
Hey John... so I got my answer... YES any use of drone footage in a monetized channel, you need to have 107. So... I signed up for Pilot Institute today to brush up on anything that might come up in my 107 test... and going to get that. Stay tuned!
I'm flying away
Just like getting to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice. Old joke.
True, true, true my friend! Thanks for stopping by today!
