  1. My first drone was a free Phantom 3 4K, I flew that for 4 months and bought a Mini 1, flew that until the Air2S came out and bought that. I love it, it's perfect for my business and recreational. First drone I'd recommend would be the Mini 2.

  2. Your video productions are fantastic and I would really like to see a video comparison between the M2, MA2, A2S, M2P and M3. I know you’ve done comparisons before but their always set to auto exposure and some look noticeably better with auto settings and some don’t at all. It would be a better comparison to use 4K and set each drone up manually to get the best video. Shutter, FPS, ISO, White balance, ND filter etc…. Just a suggestion but it would be nice to see a true comparison of each drone with a properly set up camera. Thanks Aldryn……. Enjoy.

  3. Hey Aldryn. You should include the MA2 more often when comparing. It’s still an amazing price for the combo at $988. Since it has the Quad Bayer sensor it really takes amazing photos and even videos with the 120 bitrate. I understand about a larger sensor but since the mass majority of pilots are shooting during daytime I’ve never needed a larger sensor. I still need to use an ND filter set to ND32 with my MA2 and ISO set at 100. It lets in a good amount of light and especially color. Great info as always though. 🤙🏼

  4. I have an Air 2 and I feel it's still a good option especially as a first drone. Possibly still the best bang for the buck for what you are getting.

  5. The mini 2 is rubbish it’s a plastic toy ,I don’t like mine to much jello and to small for line of sight ,I have the phantom 4 as well very stable big but rest footage ,if I was buying a new drone I’d buy the phantom 4 pro V2 stunning footage and not to dear ,the mavics are over priced

  6. Aldryn – I watch a lot of your videos because I know you are experienced and very knowledgeable on drones. Please don't take my comments here as being negative, but I felt you crammed way too much information into a 13 min. video for someone just entering into the world of drones and trying to decide what to buy in early 2022. I'll give you credit for covering important features/benefits of the various drones, but for me, you could have done a better "overview" presentation using Powerpoint slides (or something similar) along with some narration, then maybe sprinkling your presentation with a few quick pictures or video clips of the drones. I know this clip is more your style in conveying information on drone reviews/features, but I didn't think it worked today as an informational video for new beginners in the world of drones. Just my two cents…

    (I know, it's easy for me to type comments…but not so easy to create a presentation video on the subject matter. Please take my comments with a grain of salt.)

  7. Plenty of good options out there now if your looking for a new drone. Nice overview of the specs and prices on all these models. And thanks for sharing.

  8. Great info love you videos I’ve been flying for about two years I just recently passed my part 107 and trying to get as much info on which drone to purchase as a upgrade from my current drone thanks

  9. Hello sir…
    My name is RAHMAD
    My youtube channel is RAHMAD76…
    I am from INDONESIA, and always see your video from two years before…

    If i can give a comment…
    DJI and AUTEL is very good DRONE …
    because already get approved from the WORLD…
    But in my country…
    In INDONESIA… can't be like that sir…..
    In here… DJI and AUTEL is very expensive DRONE… For the PRICE…

    So if possible give another solution…
    And make another video with more lower for the price…
    ( like JJRC, SJRC, EACHINE, and etc )

    I hope not make you angry for my opinion…..

    SAY HELLO TO ONE SKY….😎

  10. Been flying DJI drones and it seems like other brands are trying to catch up to their size, functionality and style. Its almost like they are the Apple of the drone industry. The only thing I don't like is the cost of accessories. Paying an extra 150 dollars for an FPV battery is a lot.

  11. Totally agree on starting with a cheaper drone. I started with the original Mavic Mini, and despite the small sensor, I got some amazing footage. Then moved to the Airt 2s and love it, especially it's ability to handle winds (very important in the UK)

  12. Don’t forget the Mini SE under 300. Great little machine even with 2.7k. You don’t get all the shooting modes but again, it will run into something just like the mini 2 would. The confidence you get flying them along with 29 dollar replacement if you do smack a tree. First choice on a budge. Extra batteries as low as 30 each for lithion and 45 for lipo. A warning, get more batteries because they fly so well. You will want to be in the air! And wow. It’s crazy how massive the phantom is next to the mavic line.

  13. A ton of information in only 13 minutes, and even being in the south, I was able to keep up with your speed… I studied features before I bought my first drone, and didn't want to spend 500, then have to spend a thousand to upgrade in a few months so I started with the Air 2, then moved to the Mavic 3 mostly for the camera settings and obstacle avoidance which an old guy with lousy depth perception needs.

    I am still learning to edit and improve all my skills, but the M3 is a forgiving platform if you don't get stupid. Once you stop learning, you start to fade away…
