MY DRONE RECS
Phantom 3 Professional- http://amzn.to/2jBlAci This is my baby. I’ve flown this drone more than any other drone and shot with it more. It’s an amazing workhorse that defines dependability. Just make sure you get ND filters for your camera and you’ll be flying like a pro in no time.
Estes Proto X Microdrone- http://amzn.to/2ily7j7 This little fella right here is what started it all. My very first drone. SUPER difficult to fly, but that’s the best way to get started. Make your mistakes here…and grow into a dope ass pilot. Nothing fancy about this drone, it flies and moves the way you tell it to. Learn to point the nose of the drone while you fly and you’ll be heads and shoulders above the crowd.
Latrax Alias- http://amzn.to/2jcS0wN This is the most fun I’ve had flying a drone. This thing is SICK. It’s damn near indestructible and just fun! It does flips, has varying degrees of difficulty to fly, and is fast! I cant praise this one enough as a toy/learner drone. If you think the Proto X is childs play, this is your trainer drone. Either way, enjoy the flight. Make sure you grab a couple extra batteries too! (each battery only has a few minutes of flight time)

I seriously hope DJI isnt trying to get into the racing drone market. Those types of quads are so much more complex to fly than their other drones which would lead to people buying them without any idea how to fly and then crashing the quad a lot more out of lack of skill, knowledge and stupidity.
Also, that drone in the “leak” seriously doesn’t look like a racing drone. For starters, it seems like plastic which would break after a few high-speed crashes and I can also guarantee that gimbal would not survive a head-on collision at max speed. DJI should really just stick to the camera drones that basically fly themselves and leave the hobbyists to do the racing
Awesome video and informative as always. Thank you.
I think that the Spark might be more like a selfie drone, than a racer.
racing drone with a gimbal…
solid vid! you’re videos are great! have you covered the new DJI phantom 4 advanced?
Cool stuff, thank you.
