4 Tips for New Drone Pilots - Less Stress, More Fun!

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been going though this week. I got my first drone the DJI Mini 2 three days ago and I’m slowly getting less scared of it by flying daily. Thanks for this.

I have owned drones as a hobby flier, for almost 7 years, just flying around my own neighborhood ,not bothering anybody ,but lately with all the rules they have come up with, it sounds more complicated than when I had my commercial helicopter license. MY Q500 4K homes in on the transmitter ,not the take off spot, on return to home it will come back, land and shut down with no input from me. I enjoyed flying and see it as a small plastic toy, not a full size airplane, like the rules seem to see them. I have not flown them in over a year because of all the scary rules. I am 75 years old now and it seems like every time I find a hobby I enjoy, they regulate it out of my budget.

Great video, Russ. You always know what we newbies need. Not only are your videos must-watch, they are must-RE-watch!

Description was spot on. Good tips for seasoned flyers and new pilots. Yea, do more of these Wes. Great idea & video.

I’ve been flying drones for a little over two years and didn’t really consider myself a beginner but did learn a couple of awesome tips from this video. Great job Russ and thanks for the help. I think I heard it 13 times including the two during your discussion of how to win.

Thanks for the advice

Great tips, you do a great job. Thanks Russ.

As everyone knows, practice is very important for drone shooting. What can be recommended here furthere is while staying indoor you can get a drone simulator called SimuDrone. You can use your own DJI remote controller for practice. Thanks any way.

Thanks. I always stress out. Very helpful.

Great tips; thanks Russ! Another tip for more control when landing is switching the fly mode to cinema on the last few feet. This allows for smaller and smoother moves to get it to land on the pad in case it's a bit off.

Thank you I was also unaware of the contrast issues

When I was a beginner, the landing pad was a great tool to practice manual returns and landings. One you get comfortable with that, hand launching and landing is much easier to do.

Tons of info! I appreciate it.

Marvelous idea for this video, Russ. Thanks for it. 💛🙏🏼

New to drones and a channel like this is fantastic! I really enjoy your delivery of the information and it helps to see I'm not alone in my initial nervousness to fly lol. Bought a DJI Mini 3 about a week ago and still practicing joystick moves to get smooth control of the drone.

Thx, Russ. I learned a lot. Excellent lessons.

Look forward to this 👍 WOW I never knew this about the landing process 👌
