"I always carry a screwdriver, a spare prop blades, Battery, Charger, SDcard" My pre-flight check: A. on the ground: Props (Blades and Screws) / Battery (Voltage, Capacity, Temp) / Weather App. (UAV forecast, Google Maps) / SDcard B. in flight (hovering): Establish a good RTH point and GPS lock / Drone (Vibration and Sound) -check for abnormalities / Determining the RTH altitude by climbing slowly and doing a full 360 to set a proper RTH altitude. My post-flight check: Props (blade and screws) / Batt (temp and Capacity / Remove SDcard

One of the rules I made for myself when preparing to land my drone is to be certain it's facing away from me so I can land it intuitively rather than having to remember that the left and right controls are reversed. Fortunately I only had to replace one propeller before I made that rule.

1 - Flying indoor on the first day? Done it and crashed it. 2 - Flying over water? Done it and crashed twice (First time half submerged second time all submerged for around 10 minutes. Still working, thank god) 3 - Trusting intelligent flight? Done it. First time I made a auto fly up and away crashed into a tree... survived. 4 - Power lines? Haven't done this one... yet. 5 - Check list. Working on one. 6 - Flying in VLOS. I try to folow it. Watching your video just made me think that I should have seen it long ago, when I bought my c-fly faith 2. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

I've always done the bonus tip. Same for recording other videos from my phones. I do have a pre-flight checklist....kinda. It's not on paper or my phone. I'll say that I've missed a couple things here and there, really just camera settings, but I see it immediately. The one that almost ended in disaster was power lines. I was flying over a lake, ok a really wide river, at an altitude of 200 feet or maybe even higher. I could see these power lines over the river. I though I had flown just before them, but when I looked at the footage, I had actually flown over them at maybe 5 feet above them. It was definitely a close call.

Wow, I've done 4 of those 6 things, and I've only been flying 8 months. Flying indoors, now most of my indoor flying has been has been FPV with a micro whoop. Forgot about the power lines, crashed and broke my drone. I was quite happy with DJI repair service. I been BVOLS before I even know what that was. I've also done the no checklist, get flying and find I forgot the SD card at home! All great tips.

Excellent video. I’ve made plenty of mistakes with my drone as I’m sure many of us have 😂 One thing though.. when you talked about having a preflight checklist, you said that if you fly in sports mode and forget to change it back.. the next time you fly it’ll still be in sports mode. This isn’t the case for the Mini 3 Pro at least. I wish it was though, because I tend to use cine mode mostly but if I leave it on that mode, it always starts off in normal mode next time. I have to move the switch to normal & then back again, presumably this would be the same with sports mode? Cheers, Steve

I've been doing the bonus tip since I starting flying in 2015. That drone used a Gopro for the camera which I'd already been using for a couple of years prior to getting a drone so the habit was already well established. As you can imagine, I have a sh*t ton of archived videos on multiple hard drives going back a decade. 🙂

Thanks for the tips I am a pretty new drone pilot and I do the thing with the sd cards now I bring them into my computer and have a directory for drone stuff and I found out about the power lines yesterday I thought I was high enough as these are 90 feet high, but I took off my add on landing gear on my mini 3 pro and nothing else happened, I was very lucky. I now check the height with my drone way back from them and also sometimes with my hunting range finder. Ha Thanks Again.

@karlbecker8775 7 ай бұрын

With reference to the pre-flight checklist, I'll give you another reason. On my previous outdoor flight, I had the RTH altitude set at 100' to avoid the trees in the area. The next weekend, I had family over. It was raining, but they wanted to see the drone. I suspect you know where this is going. I was flying inside, distracted by all the stuff going on around me. Instead of manually piloting the drone to a safe location and landing, I selected RTH. It immediately flew straight up into the ceiling of my living room. No serious damage done, but had I gone through the settings ahead of time, I would have caught that.

@RandomPickles Жыл бұрын

Rule 6 is not logical. If I live on a farm, flying below 400 feet on my own property, there will be no planes flying by, no wires, no other drones, no anything! and I would know the land entirely. It is a great rule in an urban area sure, or unkwon grounds,but severely and unnecessarily restrictive in other situations.

I recently had the opportunity to fly over a body of water for the first time since buying my drone in November 2022, I flew in Florida at a beach and off a pier on a river. On the beach side I took off and was flying at least 15 meters up when I flew out over the water, had absolutely no issues at all. When I flew off the deck of the fishing pier at the river which was calm with very little wind as well at a height of about 4 meters off the surface the drone started acting funny and was drifting some without input on the controller and I didn't know why. After seeing this video if I had I raised the drone up to the same height as I had at the beach before flying out I may not have had those problems. I ended up just doing a very short flight off the pier and landed it manually back on the pier.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents in support of being very careful flying under reflective surfaces. In my case it wasn't over water but on a sunny day over a field of new snow. Keep your drone above 30 feet and you should be fine. I also suggest not tilting the camera downward for a 90 degree look at the snow. The sensors need to see contrasty surfaces.

I flew my brand new Mavic Air 2 about 30 inches (less than 1 meter) over a reservoir out almost a mile. I also flew it backwards while doing this until OA Beeps made me yaw around to see a huge tree branch out over the water. Never realized how badly that could have gone until later.

I feel like I've made most of these mistakes (and a few more) in less than 3 months of flying. It's taken me five attempts to get a video of me cross country skiing at my favourite resort because 1) didn't check if I had enough battery, and didn't check whether the winds aloft at RTH height were too high, 2) gust of wind crashed my drone into a tree while trying to set it up, 3) forgot to start the video, 4) started the video, but then the big video button on the top of the RC controller got pressed while tucking the controller into my jersey. On the fifth try, I finally got everything except I had the drone too high and it tapped a skinny little branch and crashed.

Great videos Russ, keep up the good work. My 2 cents worth on the SD cards-I've purchased four SanDisk cards from Amazon (same specs as you refer to) and used in two drones. DJI FPV and Mini 3 Pro. Both state "SD card too slow". I purchased 2 new ones from Samsung and they work perfect. Could I be getting counterfeit cards from Amazon?

In New Mexico when a Thunderhead cloud moves over you, there is very strong winds Very strong. I was in my backyard my drone was flying about the same height as the rain gutter on my house and the wind came up out of nowhere. What I never realized was these winds have a huge updraft quotient. Yup, my drone shot up 100 - 150 or so. No hope of pulling the throttle stick back to bring it down. Last I saw it was cruising off into the the desert plains at what looked like 30mph or better. getting higher and higher in the sky.

Couple additional mistakes. 1. Never fly with a low battery. I just went for a quick photo on a low battery and the auto lane feature set it down in a tree. 2. Buying the right drone for your use. I like to take still shots, not video, and for me there isn’t much out there with full control of the camera unless you step up to the big drones that hold dslr’s. I know someone that bought a DJI drone but was really more into racing. Do the research and pick the correct drone for your needs.
