i always watch your videos because they are hands down the most detailed and have thorough explanations

[vladimir-]

I was looking forward for this review for a long time. Thank you David!

[brent]

Outstanding video and deep explanation of this drone. Keep up the good work fellas!

[ayrow]

Best review of the M30 on the internet. Well done and thank you.

[mohammadyahyamohaqeq]

That useful introduction of M30, thanks

[Sloba]

I can’t imagine on what level drones gonna be in 10 years from now, I believe it will be really amazing technology, cameras, batteries, capabilities, it will be just amazing and maybe limited for public purchases because it will be to capable

[carlosuhlmann]

This in an excellent video of a really outstanding drone. If it sounds like a lot of money, and it is, I can truly say that's worth every penny. After I bought one, I simply could not believe the quality, the workmanship and the design. DJI thought out every detail and really hit a home run with this drone. I'm fortunate to live in Florida and can connect to FPRN at absolutely no charge. That provides me with RTK, which means I could do mapping, just as if had had a base station. Aside from mapping, the advantage of RTK is a more stable platform, not having to rely solely on the compass, and giving you 1-2 cm accuracy when landing or getting coordinates. This drone has all the system redundancy of a manned aircraft. The M300 is also a great bird but costs 3-4 times as much, which puts it in the not-affordable category, it's huge, heavy, more expensive to run, and is a pain to transport. Thanks to Steel City Drones for all the time and efforts spent in putting this great video together.

Use the M300 at work, it’s awesome, makes me want my own dji for personal projects

[MikePizzolatt]

Amazing video. i've been flying the mavic pro for 7 years, just recently passed my part 107 and looking to get a M30 T. thanks

This will save a lot of Law Enforcers Lives here in my country 🇵🇭. Situational Awareness is very important day or night, rain or shine. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏👏 Great Presentation 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[ronniemcknight]

This was a very thorough walk thru. I'm hoping to find some training content you provide as I just invested in the 30T.

[chebliss]

I have watched endless videos on drones and this is simply the best. Do you send to NZ ?

[JCDiaz-Skytech]

Dave, great video as always. Question: is the M30T able to do solar thermal inspections over solar farms? I heard it has a (software) limitation that makes the range of the camera +/- 2°, needing a +/- 0.5° range at the most. Any comments?

[DavidLPitman]

Dave, any new model drone will need to be made to comply with remote id from the manufacturer starting in Sept of this year. And in June, there is no final specification?? That seems ridiculous, right? I suspect DJI has a very good idea whether or not the capability for complying with remote id is if fact ready to go. Maybe they can't yet say "absolute" "positively", but they basically know. Thank you for the comprehensive video.

[icebergnews]

Can you broadcast live over Facebook with the 30 t

[uwwqrjg]

Hi, I have a question about the loudspeaker attachment. Does it act as a megaphone where you can speak directly or is it only support text to speech?

[jimleonfame]

What brand and model did you use for the portable monitor station?

[dronesinconstruction]

This is basically your Phantom 5 Pro Advanced V2+ that everyone was waiting on.

Hoorah Dave Sir, I am interested to learn more from your reviews.
I am a independent operator, interested in mapping, inspection, ag, FLIR, 30-T, also interested in Volunteer SAR Ops- Man Tracking K-9 assisted Team, Horseback Man Tracking and Forensic Data Collection.
I am not a LEO, but I do work with Agencies.

[mencobagear]

Does it have smart follow feature? That is following the location of the controller. For example, if i control it from a moving car, but i want to be able to look around me from the sky.
