1. Great video. You packed a lot of information in a short video. Thanks for the comparison.

2. I’m really annoyed with DJI and others who installed FAA geofencing. I want a drone that takes high quality video without blockages.

3. Nicely done, Captain, great list!

4. Merci pour toutes tes videos que je regarde depuis la France et avec lesquelles j'apprend pleins de choses .C'est juste la vidéos de choix que j 'attendais

5. I own the dji mini SE it is a really good drone for beginners and I would recommend it for anybody who wants to buy their first drone

6. In my country the dji mini se is 450$ 🤣

7. What do you suggest with GPS to accept prepared flight paths and camera automations for mapping?

8. Have you reviewed the syma X500pro. Can't find a review any where.

9. Love the video, as always! I picked up a 4DRC M1 Pro "6k", as my learning drone, last year. Have you ever flown one? I know it's basically the Mark 300, that you reviewed long ago, but, it's a really solid starter Drone. Just wondering if it was considered. Keep up the good work, Brother!

10. Amazing fact, from ,John o groats Scotland , to lizard Cornwall , the most northerly to the most southerly point in the UK is 11 days walking, or 27124 feet , Mount Everest is 29000 feet high according to Chinese scientists , walking the length of Britain doesn't cover it.😮 No wonder so many climber's have died up there .

11. buy an Autel👍👍

12. DJI drones geo-fencing is BS🖕

13. The f11 is the best👍

14. The dji mini is under 200g in my country. Because the laws are both stupid and really good.

15. Good day. Thanks for the wonderful sticker you’ve sent. Thanks so mich captain drone. 👍👍👍

16. Has anyone seen commercial for storm drone x360? Is it a scam?

17. Hey Captain Drone, I’m in the market for a drone for my Instagram page to help me promote my lawn. I’m looking for a drone that is for beginners, I’ve never flown anything just owned R/c cars & Trucks in the 80’a and 90’s. I would like to find a dron that takes great pictures, follow me, GPS, I like to have all the bells and whistles but I want to keep my budget under $400 or little over if not. Can you please help there are so many options

18. Why did the Holy Stone HS720E not make this list?

19. QUESTION:
    Can I keep my batteries in good condition by starting the motors only without actually flying the drone? Or will it overheat?
    Thank you.

20. No bullshitting, straight away to point, link and model already stated in description. Best youtuber for me. 😀

    Also simple info enough to help beginner.

21. Can you please answer 1 important (to me and others interested in buying the F11s 4K Drone – The range is stated at 1.7 miles …But, does the drone give you 1.7 miles on a 4G cell phone or, dose it have to be flown with a 5G cell phone to reach that 1.7 miles ??? This is a very important question that I will base my purchasse upon your answer….as Im sure many others do not know the true answer. Thanks! love your channel it helped influence my 1st drone purchasse.

22. I just got the hubsan zino 2 8km for 299$ on banggood but it was a Black Friday deal and only had 4 available

23. In all seriousness out of this lineup I like the F11S the best. Mainly looks; it looks like a flying brick, I love it XD

24. Pls review rg101 drone

25. Do they ship to South Africa

26. I would like to thank you Captain Drone!

    I came here hoping to find my first drone at or around $300 or less ($200-$400 was my range). I've been doing some research for a few days and found (was eyeballing) the mavic mini. Then I saw this video and figured, "oh I'll get the newer SE". Then I watched the whole SE review and was like, "well I guess I'll get the mini 2".

    Money was of decent concern, but I almost knew coming into this anything around the $0-150~200 mark would probably be a pretty crappy 'toy', and my primary purpose for seeking my introduction to "droning" is to capture awesome video and or pictures; and so I just knew a 'toy' would not make me happy.

    I did fight myself a little on whether to just go with the SE (for $299) or the mini 2 (for $450). It then looked like an SE with a "fly more" bundle would be somewhere around $400/450, which I noticed was the mini 2 (by itself). Likewise I could add $150 to that and just get a mini 2 fly more, for $599!

    So ultimately, I think the extra $150 from an SE "fly more", or an extra $300 from just the SE is going to be well worth it! It really sold me that the mini 2 has the 4k camera (vs the SE 2.7k), and I really liked the idea that it uses OcuSync 2.0 for that increased distance and reliability! And I could be mistaken but I believe the video bit rate on the SE is only 40mbit/s, as where the mini 2 has a bit rate up to 100 mbit/s (so it should all around produce significantly better video/photos than the SE)!

    So while I initially was hoping to find something in the $200-400 range, I think the mini 2 (fly more), being just $200 higher than that – will be a GREAT first (and maybe last?) Drone for me 😀 and I owe it all to you and these TWO videos of yours!

    Thanks again!!!!!!!

27. "obstacle avoidance" is on my wish list always.

28. I got my mini se and I’m gonna try to save up for the mavic 3 or 4 I said 4 cause by the time I have money for it there might be a 4th one and if not that then a splash pro drone

29. How's the weather in Canada were freezing our buts off here in the UK, snow in November, never known it, it's absolutely Freezing, colder than Iceland. Definitely not drone weather.🏂🌨️

30. Great vids. Loving my mini se. Love flying in the national parks at least twice a week

31. As always, thanks!!

32. Hello sir steve are you sending the zino mini pro to all the winners?

33. Thanks. I appreciate it. It helped me decide on getting the DJ mini as a surprise for my step-son.

34. You completely failed to mention RTH. Do you know what that is?
    It's Return To Home. Very important especially for beginners.

35. Hello Captain Drone. Nice video. Can you make a video of How to bind an Emax Tinyhawk Indoor FPV Quad to a Flysky transmitter? And how to install a Flysky receiver unit on the Tinyhawk Indoor FPV quad?

36. I remember years ago best you could hope for out of any drone was 20 minutes MAX flight time in perfect conditions. Wonder where next five years takes us

37. Just needs a best drone under 500$ and 1000$ video now! 😁

38. Great video but there are a couple of better drones under 200 on Amazon and videos on YouTube but this was a great watch thanks

39. I am guessing that you were (or still are) a teacher because of your excellent communications skills. Either that, or hate to say it, a politician.

40. Just found you and I'm fairly new to drone flying. Great content, just subscribed. Del 👍

41. What about mini drones with 2 axis gimbals and good EIS? 'Like the MJX B19 MINI EIS. Is it available in Canada now?

42. As always Steve, excellent reviews. Clicking links are a great way to learn more. Mentioning the 250 gram restrictions is a good idea!
