This is the most straight forward non-bullshit advice I have ever heard for new pilots. And it’s not even saturated in affiliate links. Keep doing dope shit @botgrinder
I'm a beginner on FPV and I'm loving it ❤😅 flying the cetus X 😊been two weeks practicing and now I'm flying in acro mode its mad fun.😂 thanks to you guy's for everything.
One thing that many beginners come across early is that flying in the sim seems almost impossible, even after years of experience with computer games and mavic drones. It is very hard at first for almost everyone but after a few hours you will be able to cruise around. Hitting gaps may still be challenging but don't give up. When you are ready the first flight IRL will be a very special moment and from there on you will have tons of fun (and some more to learn when it comes to repairing stuff :) ). Btw, I would recommend to get a bind and fly for your first quad. Just because it gets you in the air more quickly. Learning curve is quite steep anyway. Welcome to a fantastic hobby!
Totally agree on getting a BNF as your first quad. I don't get the mentality of people pushing to "build your own" when you don't know anything yet, it just makes the barrier to entry that much higher. Get flying as soon as possible so you understand why it's worth the effort, then learn to fix things as you progress.
The biggest thing when new to the sim is to not burn yourself out. If you start to get annoyed just stop and take a break, or wait till the next day. The first night I was trying to do a figure 8 drill on DRL PC for 3 hours on an XB1 controller. The next night I hit it in 5 minutes and started to learn things much faster. For DRL specifically, I wouldn't recommend relying on just the training missions. Many of them have tons of restrictions and reset you if you stray off course without teaching recovery. My learning improved massively when I jumped into freestyle mode and followed Joshua Bardwell's learn to fly series. I just followed along as best as I could, even though he used Liftoff and I have DRL.
I mistakenly thought it would be a big expense up front and then I would rarely spend money once set up. Now I realize it's like owning a beater car - spending money every month just to keep her running. Then, on top of that, the hobby moves so damn fast theres always something new you want to try. And that just leads to more shit to repair. Totally worth it tho 🤘
It all depends on which system you bought! HDZero break all the time. It's not durable, and not reliable! A prominent reviewer kept breaking VTX's and finally stopped buying them because EVERYTHING BROKE. 🤷🙄 DJI rarely breaks, is practically bullet proof reliable and durable. That reviewer flies DJI now. So, it depends on what ya bought!
Eh, no matter what system you have there will always be regular expenses - especially if youre pushing yourself. Damaged batteries, props, arms, cameras, lenses, motors, antennas, fried esc/fc. I think most newbies dont really understand that. At least I didn't.
@@ZippyFPV Yeah, but that's the BIG benefit of DJI. Shit just doesn't break! Hardly anyone ever had a Vista break at all. I've never had any break or stop working. That's one of the main benefits of going DJI digital is now you may still replace FC, ESC, props, motors, but your VTX is practically bullet proof! Cuts way down on costs to repair.
biggest tip everybody forgets, after youve got all the stuff, start ordering spares and when you have enough spares, build a number two quad, its hard to fly knowing one crash could ground you for weeks. also, when you maiden flight your first quad, find a huge empty field, and adult diapers.
This is the best new pilot video. Ever. Period. Full stop. I started with DJI (don't hate me I've now got HDZero) and when you said trust fund baby I was like "Ha not me, dummy!" and immediately shut the fuck up 1 sec later when you said "or have a tech job". This vid was informative and no sugar coating bullshit fluff. The "One other thing when you start flying fpv that they won't tell you" is probably the biggest "insider secret" ever and was a rude awakening for me so it was kind of you to mention it hahaha
Straight-up honest reconditions on how to get started. Nice financial investment advise. Great bush work demo (10:53), as most starting out will be looking at/in a bush as some point.
not brand new to fpv... i tried many many years ago but was totally turn off by the lack of good guidance on this stuff. This year I finally gave it another shot and your videos have made me appreciate this as less of a hobby and more of an art. flying lately has taken me back to my high school skater days when i'd get chased off of stairs while filming my friends skate and pumping rage against the machine. thanks for putting together not only a guide, but a ballad for fellow fpv hobbyists.
"skater days..." Right? It totally has the same feel of finding spots and dealing with everything that comes with that. I'm making the leap with just a controller and sim first and move up from there. Really informative and enthusiastic guy.
@@macofish1I was jus talking to my friend that got my into skating over 10 years ago about drones I was saying it's like skating cuz there's countless tricks and everything has a variation and every person has style. It's endless, challenging, and always unique 😊 I love things like that
Also let's talk about crashing and fixing your drone. Step 1 misdiagnose your issue and buy the wrong parts. Step 2 keep buying parts until its fixed or until you find the right Bardwell video. Step 3 break it again. Ok, now that your wife hates you because all you do is smoke weed and crash your drone. It's now time to sell all your gear as a overpriced bundle deal. Once you realize no one will buy it all at once, you slowly part it out for 1/4 it's value. Rinse repeat.
I’m new to FPV, I saw a video with you and vegan in NYC (super local to NYC) about a week ago, and I’ve been flying my TinyHawk III for a couple days now.
Not true, brand newbie to FPV, watch you all the time and one of your patriots. Your videos are worth paying to continue helping you to creating content
Hope you keep making vids for a long time . Theyre the most fun video online by a longshot. Ive said it before, they are like modern day old school 411 videos thank you so much man
Perfect timing for me, never heard of freestyle FPV. Dabs brought me to your freestyle vids, the awesome music and good vibe kept me around, now I see how fun it is, I am hooked. Seeing the cost of the gear fucked me up a bit because I don't believe in being employed, so the advice on the pocket radio and second hand analog market, plus knowing what to look for there, that's helped a lot. Thanks.
Thanks man I don’t even own a radio yet or anything iv been watching all your videos dude I’m super new to all of rc I caught heart failure so I got a lotta time on my hands you’re video’s really help me sometimes when I’m all down and sad-n-shit I watch one of your videos before I know it I’m laughing my ass off, bro thank you for making content.l, it’s really really helpful ima buy that pocket radio thing thanks 🤖
Man, screw DJI lol. As a cybersecurity "enthusiast" DJI sounds like a nightmare... Thanks for all of your info, I will be most likely upgrading my FatShark Scouts to a HD Zero setup as I am extremely new
I have DJI for now 2 FPV’s, 1 Avata and the 1 mini two. I fly freestyle two I’ve already had to replace two arms on the FPV so I want to get into a real carbon drone. Like u fly. But haven’t made the jump. Yet because of just overwhelming battery maintenance all the stuff I don’t got in a lot of DJI is turnkey and I can rebuild pretty good, so I just been using dji for a while Your videos ar dope as hell.
Was looking forward to this. Wow the community and progression is crazy and you gave me a lot to think about. Definitely starting with a controller and sim first. Thanks man.
Honestly I believe that you made this awesome video just for me. I’m new here and to FPV, I’m a fixed wing RC hobby pilot wanting to fly like a bird in the sky. So I bought a Custom Built AtomRC Killer Whale with all the bells and whistles. Avatar HD Pro with ELRS module on a RadioMaster TX16S MKII Transmitter. I’m looking at a micro quad, something decent I can BnF. You mentioned a few of them, do any of them stand out from the rest…?
There are also analog box goggles from about $50 USD to $150 USD. Personally, I don't like the binocular type goggles and I wear eyeglasses so box goggles work for me. Whether you like them or not, box goggles are still an option especially if you are on a budget.
here I got DJI like friggin IDIOT ps got roped into getting my part 107 for work since I'm "that drone guy"... taking it in four days, wish me luck. Studying my ass off after watching your video about taking the test. Hope you're well brother!
It’s like you made this video just for me! 😂 I’m 3-4 weeks into fvp and my 4th quad should be delivered today. I’m in the process of figuring out beta flight and which controller/goggles I want to go with. My first 2 purchases were the betafpv Cetus x and the EMAX Tinyhawk 2 freestyle all in one kits. It only took a couple flights to realize that I love flying fpv and that I want to upgrade to better gear. So thank you for this great video and for all of your videos!
@botgrinder Slight error in your info: you said the TBS Mambo was Crossfire. It actually has Tracer built in, whereas the TBS Tango has Crossfire built in. You can get Crossfire support on the Mambo by installing a Crossfire TX in the JR Bay on the rear. TBS tout Crossfire as a Long Range RC Link, and Tracer as a High speed RC link for racing.
You forgot to mention that it is essential to fit Remote ID to all your drones, even if they're less than 250g (just because you can). It's a license plate for your drone! 😛
I'm rocking the TX16S and I'm a pincher but really liking that Zoro but not sure if would be big enough for my gripping style don't wanna effect my overall flight style kinda scared lol I wanna try one out see if I like it
I got a DJI M3P... and then immediately discovered FPV. I got the Goggles 2 so I could fly the M3P and others FPV, which yeah is limiting. My Mob8 is O3, undoubtedly underpowered but a lot of fun. My Crux35 has a Vista and is a blast to fly. My most recent addition is an analog Meteor75 and the EV800D goggles. I can live with Analog and the Meteor75 is a LOT of fun to fly around playgrounds and in and around the house (my cats are taking it better than I'd hoped). By far I've spent the most time in TrypFPV - I absolutely love flying in Tryp. I'm not sure what is next, but possibly building a 3.5" with an O3. I'm holding off on 5", at least for the moment.
You got the best! DJI. 💯👍 HDZero is fine if you're a racer, #1. But, for anything else, it's piss poor. Unless you like flying 100m away and having SHIT VIDEO. Flying around any solid object and losing signal 30 ft. past the first corner of the object... Building, large thick groves of trees, thick bushes, etc. It's very limiting where you can fly! DJI can fly pretty much anywhere and have crystal clear video 90% of the flight. Only way, WAY OUT THERE do you get any distortions.
@@KOrnhOliO1 Agreed - I couldn't be any happier with the video I get from my Mob8 with O3, and now that I've discovered Gyroflow... OMG! But I'm also happy I have a little quad with Analog for practicing ripping on a small scale and for my the amusement of my cats. I think my time with the Meteor75 proximity flying has upped my flying and confidence 100%. The analog EV800D DVR recordings are terrible, but flying it is a blast. I'm getting the Cobra X V2 with good antennas for hopefully better analog experience, but the EV800D's have worked pretty well and will keep it for backup / spectator.
@@patrickkelly7789 I'd rather be able to fly farther than 30m if I'm flying around trees, bushes, buildings, etc without having more colored sparklies than analog has snow! Sure, racing or flying in an open field and HDZero is great! The best! It's a one trick pony for sure... And that's fine. But flying around anything solid and it's simply not good. Plus, the reliability and durability of VTX's is terrible! Guys have quit using HDZero because they replaced, then replaced again, then replaced over and over and over again their broken VTX's so many times they gave up and went to DJI! They love DJI! Why? Because you can fly very, Very far with crystal clear video and way more sharpness, fly around trees and bushes, fly completely around a building and still be crystal clear for most buildings the entire time! HDZero can't even get around the first corner of a building and RAINBOW 🌈 screen of death appears and your done! Heck, you can get the rainbow screen flying around some trees! Then, it's not durable! DJI is ultra durable and super reliable. No defects, no breaking VTX's. HDZero is way, Way below everything DJI or even Walksnail can achieve. It's, quite frankly, not even remotely close! And, the VTX's break all the friggin time! 😩🤦
Great vid, my dude. Recently made the crossover from DJI drones to FPV. Started off with a tinygo & just ordered a baby ape pro v2. I really wanna try building something of my own & I got the soldering iron and a decent tool kit but can’t find the balls to risk flushing my hard earned $$ down the toilet by fckin it all up. I was looking into some practice boards for soldering. Do you think that’s a safer way to start or am I overthinking it? Watched one manned unmanned’s new video assembling the grinderino. Might be biased but do you think that’s a good first build? Also, what’s the best way to find a decent community in NorthEastern Jersey? I know this comment is long af. My bad 😂
Although it does depend on your use case, not all BNFs are junk. Yeah, maybe way back in the old days of 2016, but not today. I build, but also buy if the quad is what I want and the price is right (generally on sale).
Solid advice! I wish I would of had this video when I started a few weeks ago. At least I did some things right with analog + tiny whoops. Great video for someone starting out, probably the best on the internet at the moment. The affiliate links just confuse newbies and cause a lot of wasted money. But I will be buying one of your frames when I move up.
@@zethca I'm sick of people suggesting new guys buy HDZero for anything other than racing. If you race, buy HDZero. If you do everything but race, buy DJI or Walksnail. DJI is known to be the very best at everything, but racing. Fly far and still get crystal clear video around objects, through trees, into tree canopies, right thorough the middle of a thick forest! ... and out the other side. Can't do that with the other systems, especially HDZero... Can even enter the first with HDZero. It's a one trick pony.
Can someone let me know if this is patreon only for a bit, or is yt just not letting my region see it for another two days? I wanna watch some fucking Bot, sorry I am a broke ass tho, I am grateful for your vids man, for more than just drones too, I appreciate you being real, unashamed, helps inspire me to do the same.
I've got Tango 2's ,Pockets, and Boxers in stock for your Crossfire or ELRS goodness 👌
Thanks for pushing my order out yesterday Bro.🤙🏾
Bro I just o3 cuz imma have a seizure from tv static
6:67 you get motion sickness from a swing?
Got into this a few months ago. Just want to throw my hat in and say the Boxer radio has been really good to me for anyone lookin'!
5 days of build, 5 mins to destroy a vista, now order again a new $139 vista. Welcome to FPV
Damn, you're one of the few whose ever broken a Vista. They are heavy duty!
I've had glass cannons too, but I've also got some absolute tanks that have taken a beating..
fix wing (bubble foam) and battery hit vista, chipped MIPI socket, another o3 the board top bended.... super expensive hobby @@KOrnhOliO1
Broken everything on my quads but never a vista and half of them are naked
@@SBvice quad is stiffer, protected by carborn fiber frame. My quad with vista survived all the crash. but on a aeroplane the frame is too weak for a crash imagine, a head dive to the ground with vtx & 18650 battery in between.
I rarely leave comments but dude, I'm getting started into FPV and this video was literally what I was looking for 🤘🤘
Awesome, happy to help.
I think this is the closest we will ever get to a G rated Botgrinder video. Telling it straight and no Fk's given...
Ignoring the tattoo on his arm of a lady with her tits hanging out.
This is the most straight forward non-bullshit advice I have ever heard for new pilots. And it’s not even saturated in affiliate links. Keep doing dope shit @botgrinder
I'm a beginner on FPV and I'm loving it ❤😅 flying the cetus X 😊been two weeks practicing and now I'm flying in acro mode its mad fun.😂 thanks to you guy's for everything.
I used to always send my friends the Flying drones on Salvia video when they ask me about FPV. This is way better!
One thing that many beginners come across early is that flying in the sim seems almost impossible, even after years of experience with computer games and mavic drones.
It is very hard at first for almost everyone but after a few hours you will be able to cruise around. Hitting gaps may still be challenging but don't give up.
When you are ready the first flight IRL will be a very special moment and from there on you will have tons of fun (and some more to learn when it comes to repairing stuff :) ).
Btw, I would recommend to get a bind and fly for your first quad. Just because it gets you in the air more quickly. Learning curve is quite steep anyway.
Welcome to a fantastic hobby!
Totally agree on getting a BNF as your first quad. I don't get the mentality of people pushing to "build your own" when you don't know anything yet, it just makes the barrier to entry that much higher. Get flying as soon as possible so you understand why it's worth the effort, then learn to fix things as you progress.
@@flipfpvyea for real I've never even used a soldering iron. It would be so awesome to ruin a brand new FC learning how to solder 😂
The biggest thing when new to the sim is to not burn yourself out. If you start to get annoyed just stop and take a break, or wait till the next day.
The first night I was trying to do a figure 8 drill on DRL PC for 3 hours on an XB1 controller. The next night I hit it in 5 minutes and started to learn things much faster.
For DRL specifically, I wouldn't recommend relying on just the training missions. Many of them have tons of restrictions and reset you if you stray off course without teaching recovery.
My learning improved massively when I jumped into freestyle mode and followed Joshua Bardwell's learn to fly series. I just followed along as best as I could, even though he used Liftoff and I have DRL.
dude, you would be a top tier guy to hang with IRL. keeping ripping.
I got a neo to learn FPV on, its a 2s, weighs 130g and is an O4 digital, steep price to start but its fun to learn on
I mistakenly thought it would be a big expense up front and then I would rarely spend money once set up. Now I realize it's like owning a beater car - spending money every month just to keep her running. Then, on top of that, the hobby moves so damn fast theres always something new you want to try.

@sco0trot0r18 not much of a choice if you're into whoops. Curious, how many vtx have you gone through?
Eh, no matter what system you have there will always be regular expenses - especially if youre pushing yourself. Damaged batteries, props, arms, cameras, lenses, motors, antennas, fried esc/fc. I think most newbies dont really understand that. At least I didn't.

DJI can fly pretty much anywhere and have crystal clear video 90% of the flight. Only way, WAY OUT THERE do you get any distortions.
@@KOrnhOliO1 Agreed - I couldn't be any happier with the video I get from my Mob8 with O3, and now that I've discovered Gyroflow... OMG! But I'm also happy I have a little quad with Analog for practicing ripping on a small scale and for my the amusement of my cats. I think my time with the Meteor75 proximity flying has upped my flying and confidence 100%. The analog EV800D DVR recordings are terrible, but flying it is a blast. I'm getting the Cobra X V2 with good antennas for hopefully better analog experience, but the EV800D's have worked pretty well and will keep it for backup / spectator.
@@KOrnhOliO1id rather have low fixed latency with hdzero then DJI with variable high latency also the fact you can’t have 1s whoops with DJI is crazy
@@patrickkelly7789 I'd rather be able to fly farther than 30m if I'm flying around trees, bushes, buildings, etc without having more colored sparklies than analog has snow! Sure, racing or flying in an open field and HDZero is great! The best! It's a one trick pony for sure... And that's fine.
But flying around anything solid and it's simply not good. Plus, the reliability and durability of VTX's is terrible! Guys have quit using HDZero because they replaced, then replaced again, then replaced over and over and over again their broken VTX's so many times they gave up and went to DJI!
They love DJI! Why? Because you can fly very, Very far with crystal clear video and way more sharpness, fly around trees and bushes, fly completely around a building and still be crystal clear for most buildings the entire time! HDZero can't even get around the first corner of a building and RAINBOW 🌈 screen of death appears and your done! Heck, you can get the rainbow screen flying around some trees! Then, it's not durable! DJI is ultra durable and super reliable. No defects, no breaking VTX's.
HDZero is way, Way below everything DJI or even Walksnail can achieve. It's, quite frankly, not even remotely close! And, the VTX's break all the friggin time! 😩🤦
THANK YOU !
Fantastic info! 🤘
Well said down to earth no bullshit Great Work 👍
Informative and humorous 😄...
Entertaining as always!!!
I'm gonna recommend the x lite,accept any module
Thanks for sharing the RVS SmolYeet 😘😘😘
of course, thanks for carrying the grinderino!
Great vid, my dude. Recently made the crossover from DJI drones to FPV. Started off with a tinygo & just ordered a baby ape pro v2. I really wanna try building something of my own & I got the soldering iron and a decent tool kit but can’t find the balls to risk flushing my hard earned $$ down the toilet by fckin it all up. I was looking into some practice boards for soldering. Do you think that’s a safer way to start or am I overthinking it? Watched one manned unmanned’s new video assembling the grinderino. Might be biased but do you think that’s a good first build? Also, what’s the best way to find a decent community in NorthEastern Jersey? I know this comment is long af. My bad 😂
GREAT video, but quick question....best googles for someone that has to wear glasses?
Loved it!
I smoked a motor on my foxeer yesterday trying to turtle mode out of my wife's laundry basket loll smoked that sucker lol
How do you adjust your ND filter? Like a pol filter or?
Can you adjust it or did you really change it?
Cool video dude 😎
i pinch on a gamepad i found i felt better than the ✈️ box lmaooo that’s interesting
That was rad
Solid video, Bot. It takes some real brains & talent to explain complicated shit like FPV as clearly as you did here, man.
Damn son this is an informative video. Very good.
In the bush baby!
Although it does depend on your use case, not all BNFs are junk. Yeah, maybe way back in the old days of 2016, but not today. I build, but also buy if the quad is what I want and the price is right (generally on sale).
Yeah I'm realizing that now
Very informative
Idk why I love analog but dji is seems to be way better in confidence levels, I really don't know yet what makes me loose signal
😂 Awesome fpv overview
Any sock recommendations?
Solid advice! I wish I would of had this video when I started a few weeks ago. At least I did some things right with analog + tiny whoops. Great video for someone starting out, probably the best on the internet at the moment.
The affiliate links just confuse newbies and cause a lot of wasted money. But I will be buying one of your frames when I move up.
fly you drone while swinging on that swing... see how long u can handle it;)
I had walksnail and got HDZero and the latency difference is keeping me on HDZ
Wait until all of your VTX's break.
@@KOrnhOliO1you remind me of 2000s console wars
broken both ws and hd already@@KOrnhOliO1
@@zethca I'm sick of people suggesting new guys buy HDZero for anything other than racing. If you race, buy HDZero. If you do everything but race, buy DJI or Walksnail. DJI is known to be the very best at everything, but racing. Fly far and still get crystal clear video around objects, through trees, into tree canopies, right thorough the middle of a thick forest! ... and out the other side. Can't do that with the other systems, especially HDZero... Can even enter the first with HDZero. It's a one trick pony.
Can someone let me know if this is patreon only for a bit, or is yt just not letting my region see it for another two days? I wanna watch some fucking Bot, sorry I am a broke ass tho, I am grateful for your vids man, for more than just drones too, I appreciate you being real, unashamed, helps inspire me to do the same.
It premiers on the 16th
all my videos are patreon only for a week then they release to the general public.
What is drone? Baby don't hurt me.
