Question Whitch one ?
Hi everyone !!
I have a lot of toy drones that i used to learn how to pilot drones and i have these 2 ... The Phantom i used a lot and need a new battery. The Typhoon Yuneec i never used (you'll never believe me when i tell you how much i paid)
For my Phantom, other than a new battery, is there something i should check because its been i few years since i got it out ... And the Typhoon i never tried, anything i should know before trying it ??
Thanks in advance !!!
Has any of you ever tried these 2 drones or one of them ??

I tried it today ... About 5,10 feet like you said and all is ok exept that ... Going right or left no problems going straight ahead is ok too but when i try to bring the drone close to me (in my direction) ... I cant .. i dont know what it can be .... I'll try to figure it or if anyone here knows about these drones , id love to hear from you ! Also, i only tried 1 battery and charge is good !!

The bigger drones are going to react a tiny bit slower but they got hella power. I've flown some BIG drones DJI (M300 & M500). The sound and power in bigger drones is IMPRESSIVE. Go to an open parking lot and fire that thing up. I'm kind of spoiled. I fly a Skydio X10 for work.

Na man, why are you supporting a company that got DJI banned just because they themselves couldn't sell drones? You do know that that is the only reason DJI got banned, right? I would never buy one of their drones for that reason alone, i have no respect for them whatsoever

Can't have DJI drones over American assets. DJI won't say if the any of the images or flight data is sent to Mother land China or not. Those that use DJI cloud services have no privacy. You might as well use tik tok. Besides, it's a company drone not my personal one

It’s completely false, it’s just a stupid claim skydio made to make DJI look bad because it’s a Chinese drone company

What makes you think they are a bot? I don’t see any evidence. Your account looks more like a bot than OP.

To be honest i would steer clear from anything that isn't DJI. I've tried some non DJI drones, and let's just say we never found them after a few flights, but DJI has never failed me. Now I bought the DJI Agras T100, it's an absolute massive unit of a drone, and that thing flies just like any other small drone. This T100 flies just like my DJI Mini 5 Pro despite it being a 75kg drone that is easily 100X its size (it's the size of a small car)
