15 Beginner Drone Maneuvers (Sharpen Your Skills)

I looked at way over a dozens How to Fly a drone videos here on YT and this video is by far the BEST, thank you.

hmmm.... not sure if you were using the DJI go fly app? If so, how do I get a reticle in the center of my screen?

Nicely done Greg. I just bought my first drone. Tried taking it out for a test flight. Silly question. My controller doesn't seem connected to my phone as none of the controls are responsive. Is there an easy way of syncing the remote controller to my phone? I can only do the start, take off and landing through my phone

What a great and detailed tutorial. It was like sitting in a class. Thank you so much. New subscriber for sure!

With this detailed training i can secure a drone certificate with an ace! Thank you Sir. God bless you.

thank you I really needed this instruction awesome

Do it with Skydio 2+ please, I know the joy sticks, I just am nervous to do the first flight 😄🤔✌️

Excellent video. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thankyou for this tutorial ❤
I’m new to drones and it’s so helpful having the view of what stick movements you are doing superimposed over the drone’s view.

I just want to know who's idea it was to make the sticks operate the opposite way they do in video games with camera controls. It would be so much easier to fly the drone if the stick was reversed.

I just flew about +30 flights and trying to consolidate everything (controls) in my head.. i can imagine but i am not really sure.. this vid confirms my own understanding and the truth in what i think is true, or not.. thank you man...!

That was cool !! My drone has an automatic orbit but I can't ever get it to orbit exactly around the object I am filming. Doing it as you showed manually will work best for me thank you.

Thank you. This is very helpful for newbies such as I. 💫

Great learning tutorial on maneuvers with a drone. Practice makes perfect. Awesome in person guide on how to perform these tasks. 😃🚁

Nice 👌

How do you make it so the reverse sensing is basically turned off? My phantom 4 could do this....

Thank you i just got my drone and these are so helpful

Your microphone sounds just awful

I noticed that the day I went looking for my rouge drone my next door neighbor had looked towards me while I was walking around the backyard … the next day I saw him again and asked if he had seen it and, if he wouldn’t mind me looking in his yard … he said no, but he said he saw lights in one of my trees … sure enough, there it was …

Great video, thanks. There's any good FREE video editor for windows?

Greg can u help me get my 107 please ty I already have my rec

Great video for us new Pilots, Thank you! 🤙🏼

When practicing these maneuvers, always remember to practice reversing the directions. Otherwise you will only half of the maneuver.

At the start, you didn't finish the right stick. Excellent video, though. Major problem for me. If the drone is more than 30 feet away, I can't judge how many degrees it has turned when I want to go another direction. I have to make it go forward before I can tell it I turned it as much as I wanted to. Any exercises for that?

Just as I was getting the skill to hover my drone properly it flew away. Tomorrow, search and rescue will continue operations.

Excellent video ! Are the joystick controls the same across all the different makes and models of drones?

I start my dji like that. I'm very new to the drone.

Thanks

Speaking of small movements, one of my nerve wrecking takeoff trainings in a Cessna 150 was turning the steering to the left to compensate for the engine’s rotation on takeoff in a not so smooth movement, never liked it while learning, so I went solo Skydiving instead as my trainings were getting too expensive. I think such drones or RC planes are easier control for pilots and those who understand aerodynamics. I give you credit for having various FAA licenses at your age. I studied Aeronautical Engineering and these things are great toys but with strict FAA rules and regulations.

Are these rules/guidelines for Canada ... aka ... are you in Canada.?

Can you tell me what your set up is? Looking at getting into the drone world and have no idea where to start.

Most excellent mate.

Hey bud thank you for this vid it helps noobs like me

I've been flying over 6 years and am a 107 pilot. I like the fact that you land in reverse as I do. some of my buddies laugh at me for doing it, but when you are in "tight" maneuvering it's nice for the controls to be oriented as you see the drone. I am frequently landing on a boat or in very close quarters. I don't "hot dog" it and land FPV as I would if flying a fixed wind aircraft. I wish I had found this video 6 years ago as the maneuvers are well explained and useful.

Greg: What top-mounted camera are you using on the drone? Thanks, Rob in Phoenix

Just bought a Mavic 3 with the fly more package and the DJI RC for my 1st drone ever. A bit nervous about flying it 🤣. It should be here this week, so I've been watching every video I can find. I believe this is one I'll be watching over and over

good vodeo, sort of, in the beginning you "show" left, right , up and down for drone , but I see nowhere where to move the camera , @ 25 minutes when you do the reveal I dont see " fingers on controls to move camera gimbal"??..

Many thanks..Great video

Great man

Great tutorial! Thank you

This was like out of the box never flown a drone basic lol

Hi Greg can we do your course here in Australia regards Terry willimott

How come that so many people were "randomly selected" to get not one but two drones as a prize...?!

Very nicely done!

Fantastic video mate so much information for beginners like me keep up the great work you do regards Terry in Australia 🇦🇺 👍

Thanks a lot for the great demonstration!

I'd like to add two suggestions. To make the s-turns more challenging, try performing them over a fence line or something similar, making sure to cross it perfectly perpendicular. Second, for the orbit, you might need to adjust your control inputs based on the wind's direction and speed because the wind adjusts how fast the drone is moving over the ground. Here in southwest Texas and in other flat, somewhat treeless states, winds of up to 20 mph with gusts up to 25-30 mph are common, making such adjustments even more important, especially on the lighter drones like DJI's Mini series. Every time I practice orbits, I remember how my flight instructor for manned aircraft always emphasized these two aspects in our lessons as I was preparing for my private pilot license.

How about the come-back-here maneuver to keep the thing from disappearing over the houses and trees as you regret you ever bought the thing. I would’ve liked to have known that maneuver yesterday.

I picked up some great info - very helpful as I learn! Excited to try them out on my next film project this week - especially the corkscrew and forward reveal! Thanks for sharing this!

Great video to let beginner watch before you take them out to do the real thing, Thanks for sharing, Ray K. UK. YNWA.
