  1. Capt Drone's YouTube Channel is a great place to visit when trying to decide what drone to purchase. The reviews clearly demonstrate what's included in the drone package, startup procedure and features of the drone. Kudos to his flying demos. there are so many drones to chose from and some are clones of others – quite confusing without some help. Thanks Capt for helping me zero in on the unit that I want.

  2. not bad for the money — video does show a lot of noise in the form of large splotchy areas — very noticeable in the middle of the playing fields etc.. fine for personal use and fun, but definitely not for any pro work. One example, at 13:53 — look at the background right and background left of the playing field — pure splotch

  3. While showing the interface on the phone screen you were in beginner mode from what I saw, limiting the range and altitude. Does this change when you take it out of beginner mode?
    How would you compare this to a hubsan zino?

    Does the video transmit to the controller and then to the phone, or just to the phone?
    Thanks for any information.

  4. As expected, another fine review Captain. One question I have is….what the heck is Electronic Fence that they show as a feature? Never heard that term before. For a first drone I don't think it can be beat for the price! Keep the reviews coming!

  5. At the moment at least maybe a bit too expensive . I mean, it's the price range of the Zino. Also I don't quite get the manufacturers (CFly) model policy. This one has three axis gimbal where as the JJR X7p only has a two axis one , but a 4K camera. Seems a pretty fine drone though.

  6. Cap'n, nice drone and ground shot video quality was really good – except on several occasions the sky just washed out completely – like a nuke had gone off in the far distance …. bit odd that? ?

  7. Seems like a very responsive drone. The video is real smooth, stable and clear. No jello effect. I think the low cost drone companies will soon be surpassing or at least be equal to the the big high cost drones in the near future. Another good review. Thanks.

  8. Good night !!! Congratulations, great video, thanks for sharing with us… What's new on my channel? I invite you to see a fabulous river in Africa, the Queve river and its waterfall in Angola shot with Parrot Bebop 2… Or a stability test with Parrot Anafi flying through the tree branches … If you want to see it you will always be welcome… Best regards…

  9. I've heard that on the Mavic line of drones you can turn the camera to face you and on the app or controller there's a feature that allows you to flip the control levers so as to have the same effect with the joysticks regardless of whether the camera is facing away from you or facing at you/the controller.

    My little cheapy practice drone does NOT have this feature and as a result I get all mixed up with the joysticks cause one way is the normal way of flying and when flown with the camera facing me I have a hard time remembering to move my joysticks in the opposite directions to get the drone to move in the directions I need it to.

    Does this JJRC X12 have the ability to flip the controls for when the camera is facing you/the controller?

  10. Sweet! Amazing little drone and it is perfect on video and great on extreme low follow me???.
    Lol you're making it harder for me to pick a drone.So many choices and most I've seen are impressive.
    I just bought me the Vivitar Areo View drone.it's big and loud lol.gonna fly it soon.
    Thank you so much my friend and God bless you always. Have fun Captain Drone???

  11. Three axis gimbal or not I am not buying any more C fly drones until they fix their app. Whenever I fire up this app it shows me at a different location than where I am. I am afraid the return to home will not work. Is anybody out there having the same problem. If so what do you do about it?

  12. Okay, finally THIS!!!!!!!!!!! We knew it would happen and it has a 3 Axis Gimbal with a good( not perfect) but really good 1080p camera. This is absolutely the one that breaks that barrier finally. We will be seeing more now, JJR. has thrown down the gauntlet on this one and said here it is come get me fellas. I’m really excited about this, may not have all the features of a DJI drone but for a first time hobbist this is a solid homerun of a drone. I don’t see how you could wrong with this. I’m really impressed and excited that someone has finally done it. Yes this Mav Mini is coming but for Starter in drones this could very well be the one to start with. Excellent Steve, great to see this bird.

  13. The video is jittery. Frame drops maybe? Moving gimbal up and down not so smooth. Otherwise a good beginner gps drone for the price.

  14. I'm a new sub and I love your videos I recently bought a phantom 4 and the return to home went up to my max altitude setting and just sat there my home altitude was set to 30 meters I'm new to drones any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

  15. i just started getting into droning and found a drone using your vid on drones for beginners and I loved it and just subscribed and was wondering if you could review a dji spark by any chance

  16. Looks like a winner to me! Maybe this is a revised version of the JJRC X9 Heron? This is worth purchasing vs all those other drones with no stabilization.

  17. Anyone getting into the drone game is very lucky. This is amazing for a first drone and I hope it puts an end to all the drones being released at a similar price point while having terrible cameras, GPS and range
