This review (and others) won me over, and I ordered the HD Version. Thanks to this (and a few other) TH-cam(s), set up was easy EXCEPT for the digital version I had the devil of a time finding the bind button. I won't say how long I had to look (and I even asked my wife to use her eyes). Finally spotted it "hiding" under the lip of the cowling. It is close to the "c" USB port for the DJI software. I took a pic and created a PDF pointing to the bind button -- I can't attach to this comment, but can email to any that request/need it.
I have one and I find it extraordinarily loud for a drone of this size/weight. The prop guards may put people at ease but the noise will scare the $hit out of them 🙂 That being said it flies pretty well and records good video with an Insta360 GO 2 on it (and a forgiving TPU mount for the GO 2). I switched the 5 blade for the 3 blade and it is still noisy...haven't swapped to the 1404 motors and don't plan on it. There must be something about the air passing over the ducts that makes it so loud.
Great video again.... after losing my last camera drone 2 weeks ago I think I will now move in to fpv as it looks so much more fun!.. thanks for the videos👊🏻
Follow-up. I am brand new to FPV, and just ordered this as my first FPV drone. I got the FRsky receiver version, and the Taranis Q X7. I am experienced with regular video drones (DJI, Parrot, Fimi) and have no problems operating them. But I must say, for all those considering FPV, there is ZERO documentation that comes with this drone. The X7 pairing (or binding) process is not at all intuitive. TH-cam videos seem to indicate that you need to connect this drone (via the microUSB that I had NO idea existed deep within it) to something called "betaflight controller"....which is an .exe program that currently gets hung up on the install and is still loading (after 30 minutes) on my computer. Bottom line, if you are new to FPV, it's not "plug and play." Tons of configuring and compatibility issues to navigate through....
The FPV hobby is considered to be the ADVANCED FPV DRONE HOBBY because you need a greater than average understanding of how all components work and a much greater than average flying ability. Unfortunately everyone in the FPV hobby started as you did and we all complained. And those of us on TH-cam (like me... your hero) have made videos to explain to newbies how to get things going (watch my FPV FOR BEGINNERS TH-cam series). It is a steep learning curve but once you gain the knowledge and flight skills you feel so much better for it and then you share your knowledge with others.
I'm still wondering how the hell people give thumbs down to a video that's super informative and great. Like CaptainDrone goes out of his way to show us all these products and its up to us the subscribers to decide whether we like it or not. But to the people who gave it a thumbs down, you guys suck. @CaptainDrone you're the damn. Keep up the good work
Hi, First off I love your videos you are always full of enthusiasm which is great. Question please, did you plug or have to solder the receiver and which did you use . Yours may have come with one fitted I don't know but all the ones I can find in the UK don't come with an Rx hence me presuming yours was the same.
Also, I haven't found in your videos info on regulations and insurance. I know that this can differ depending on the country but at least in north America or even Canada. I believe for someone interested in joining this hobby should be aware of these. Thanks.
Yup, no drone insurance in Canada that is worth the cost which is why the government of Canada does not make it a requirement of flying an RC Plane or Drone.
I have seen images of this guy with the Insta360 Go camera only. This might be a stupid question but does it fit other cameras? Like the normal HD Insta360 or a GoPro?
hello CAPTAIN DRONE, I discovered your channel becuase I am passionate about drones and I really like everything you present. I'm french and you'll excuse me for my english...lol. this 95XV3 beta is awesome.I have not seen the antenna of the rx? which one do you have installed? thanks to you.. ERIC A bientôt.
Hi Captain, great video as always! I am thinking about getting into a FPV world and I would like to start with this little 95x v3. What is possible range with LiteRadio 2 SE Radio Transmitter Frsky protocol. I would be happy to fly 100-200m away... what do you think? Thank you
Can you use a naked GoPro instead of the insta? Would I have to change the plugs for it to except the naked GoPro? Also can you use reelsteady go with the Insta360? I already have two naked gopros. Just don’t want to speed the money on a naked camera if I don’t need to. Just wanted to know what I would need to use my naked GoPro. Also does it have a good damping system like the beta95X. That had a great system that took out a lot of jello from the video to use reelsteady. Since you have to turn off image stability to use reelsteady go properly.
The specs say the naked gopro will work and their is a plug included that converts 4 wires to 3 wires which I assume the Naked gopro takes. You can't use realsteady with the insta360. Yes there is the squishy dampening system in this one as well.
Nice one, Steve. Question from someone who’s never tried FPV: you mentioned putting a ‘little ND filter on it’-how much manual exposure control do you have on it?
Its out with 1404 motors and new blades. Think it will make it so much better. I was thinking of cinelog 25, but now it might be 95x. Is there such a difference 1106 vs 1204 vs 1404?
Do you have good recommendations for budget scale video drones that are only American made? I punched it into your search bar, but didn't really see a specific titled video. I'm going to review your budget drone video again, but figured I would ask here. Thanks.
All drones are made in China. Some are assembled in the USA to get around this, or some say DESIGNED IN THE USA (like iPhones) to make people think they are USA products.
Thanks again for this Winter Pandemic Review! It looks like a perfect FPV drone for me to start up in this world this Spring. But it seems that Insta360 Naked cams sell like hot cakes on Christmas because they're sold out everywhere! Oh well I'll wait hehe. Also I have a question: on the BetaFPV site, it asks to pick an RX model. What is that?
The RX means RECEIVER. You must select a RECEIVER that is compatible with the RC Radio you own. In this video I used a QX7 radio and the receiver I picked that was compatible was the FRSKY XM+.
If you get the DIGITAL version you 100% need the DJI FPV Goggles. You can order such a version with any receiver you like so that you can use any radio you like, or order no receiver (in the digital version) and you can then use your DJI FPV Radio.
It all depends on your country. For most countries, anything that is remotely flown the government always wants you to keep it in view and that applies to drones, planes, helicopters.... anything in the RC hobby that is placed in the air. For the FPV hobby, one has goggles on, which means the government could not figure out how such a drone could be kept in view, so they said... if you have anyone or know anyone out in the area that can see the drone, then all is well. Now you have to think... why must I keep a drone or plane in view? It is so that you don't fly it into a human. So the fix is to do like everyone in the hobby and fly where there are no humans. If you fly where humans are, then by all means either have a spotter or inform them of your presence. Finally, the great thing about drones is that are noisy, which makes humans look up and take notice and then become aware of the drones presence.
Hello again sir . Sorry for the question I’m new to this . Im trying to buy the mobula7 and is asking me witch receiver frsky EU-LBT or frsky Non-EU . My QX-7 is for D-16 . Witch one should I buy ? Please reply . Your my best source. Thanks
You are the best by a long shot . Sir thank you so much . I’m your loyal subscriber . Thanks for all you do . I appreciate you sir . I’m buying it through your link so you can get credit . Thanks again
Awesome video! I have the 95x v2 (Analog) and my frame is falling apart from all of my crashes haha Do they have replacement frames for the V2 or am I able to move the v2 components to the v3 frame? Also, your flying looked so much smoother than mine. my v2 can be a little touchy and it can be hard to keep the height consistent. Any tips? Tuning tips?
Hi all your vids are great! What can this do better than the mavic mini? I am wanting to get into fpv would this just be a good trainer before moving on to something bigger?
Hi as a newbie I would like to ask does the drone fly out of the box given if you order a model that you have a transmitter for. Not sure I am up to fiddling with flight programs yet regards Richard from UK
Yes and No. For a Newbie the answer is No. For an experience person the answer is Yes. Watch EPISODE #9 of my video series CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS.
I'm trying to figure out which RX version will work with my Taranis 9XD. I haven't been paying attention to the RX market for a while now and don't know if I need the FrSky FCC version or LBT? I'm thinking FCC? I'd like to know before I drop a couple hundred bucks, any idea?
If your goggles have dvr built in do you have to have a camera(not the camera to see through with your goggles using fpv) on drone since you can watch video later because of dvr?
In the hobby of FPV, the DVR that is built into FPV Goggles is only for you to play back the video when you crash your drone in a field and want to find it. It is never intended for quality video recording which is why you always see people in the FPV Hobby placing all types of cameras on the FPV Drone to capture quality video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 okay. I understand. Small drones either will need to come with one or I need to find a really small one to put on it in order to watch it with good quality. Yeah, I am leaning on the hglrc sector 132 I believe it is called. It has 2 cameras on it and in 4k
Thanks, Captain. Hows your PID's? the one that came with the manufacturer is not ideal and doesn't fly well as yours. I tried the one stick and my v3 doesn't keep still and it's drifting left or right. did you make any PIDS adjustments?
In the old days I used to change PIDs all the time, but over the past two years I never change them anymore. I fly so many drones that my brain just quickly adapts to whatever the PIDs are and I naturally compensate.
All FPV drones are difficult to fly until you train your brain the proper hand/eye coordination. This is why the CAMERA DRONE (DJI type drones) is known as the beginner hobby and FPV is known as the advanced hobby. Keep at it and you will train your brain and life will be fantastic in the FPV world.
I have no battery brand preferences, so when I buy batteries I buy whatever is on sale on AMAZON. If you do not understand batteries very well (i.e., you are not 100% confident) then watch my FPV FOR BEGINNERS episode on Batteries (I believe there are two of them... batteries and how to charge batteries)
Tattu R-Line 14.8V 4S 850mAh 95C LiPo Micro Battery - XT60.... is this a good battery for this kool little guy or maybe.... BetaFPV 14.8V 4S 850mAh 75C LiPo Micro Battery 2 Pack - XT60
Hello Captain..Very sweet fpv. I still need to jump off that cliff.. I'm from Arizona and wondering what's all the white stuff on everything?? Asking for a friend.. peAce
Hi Captain, I literally watched this video while unboxing my Betafpv V3, I also got the analog version BnF, but I didnt get all those extras like the props etc, I didnt even get a instruction manual with it, Im looking for the bind button, can you indicate where it is on the drone ? Thanks alot
The BIND button is on the receiver. Did you order a Receiver, like an FRSKY XM+ or a CROSSFIRE, etc when you bought it? If you did, then BETAFPV attaches the receiver to the drone for you and you then just bind your compatible radio to the receiver. If you did not order a receiver, it means you have a pile of them at home and will solder your own receiver onto the flight controller.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ,Hey Captain , thanks for replying , yes I did purchase with a FRSKY XM+, is the receiver under the drone where the antenna and camera is connected ? Im sorry for my ignorance , this is my 1st step forward to FPV , I was using a tinyhawk 2 kit, and I did watch all your videos in starting out in FPV.
@@zaeemmohammed5521 Yes, it is in the center bottom. A small part should be sticking out showing the bind button. If you are not sure how to set up your radio, bind and betaflight, watch my CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS episode #9.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 , Hey Cap, so I found the bind button and I put the radiolite into D16 protocol, I then proceeded to plug in the battery to the drone and I hit the bind button, the lights turned green , I turned on the radio, put in bind mode and was not successful, is there anything im doing wrong ? I watched your videos for beginners but cant seem to get what am I not doing , both products are from betafpv , so im assuming they would bind easliy.
Do you know of a similar cinewhoop (properly below 250g like this one) that is quieter? I will anyway build it myself because of rules but I'd like a default tune to base it on
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 probably for acro, but I am running a Chimera4LR on 2S Lion. As a beginner it seems fine in angle. I cannot fly acro yet anyway lol. #itsajourney
Nope. That is something found in toy drones or beginner GPS camera drones from DJI and other similar companies. This is a true FPV drone so it has none of that.
According to specs sheet, F405 FC has extra UART1, so i added bn220 gps module. However, there is no uart1 available in betaflight ports tab. Any idea how to enable this?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Paint, watercolor, crayons, would engraving, anything but a camera. Those are the rules. Even a $15 dollar 100 gram drone has to be registered (23 Euro for two years)if it has a camera. Privacy rules! I wonder if soon I you need to get a roller skate license too in case you roller skate past people's houses and peek through the window? Maybe photo cameras with identification broadcast so the CIA knows where you are? Privacy rules. Yep. It's the year 2021 alright!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 And then you will be an 'exploitant' of the drone. Which means they can trace what you put on TH-cam. Violate copyright and you pay tens of thousands! So be careful to upload footage of a tree. Well it's the end of droning for most people. Instead of catching criminal the police will now switch to arrest mass murdering Tello pilots.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 And if your drone is 251 gram it will cost you 190 Euro all together. Then they wonder why people get aggressive dealing with the authorities? Oh no! Must be a crazy person! He got angry after we punished him with a 5000 Euro fine for flying a drone in a field. Yep he's crazy! Just say he is crazy and everything else is covered. So I think I will throw all my drones in the bin. I don't want to risk my life being destroyed by some Gestapo cop. Even if I get a license and do register all my drones you still aren't sure if they won't find anything to punish you. That's their hobby. Punishing civilians.
Great video, thanks. Total noob here. I'm coming across from the dreaded DJI world, but I'm having issues tuning the goggles to the analog camera. Using Fatshark attitude v6 but can't get an image. Can't use the OSD or betaflight to config and can't work out how to change the channel on the vtx or tune without those. Anyone help?
For FPV goggles that are Analog on Fatsharks there must be a Video Receiver in the goggles where one or two antennas attach. Do you have this? If not that is your problem. If you have the receiver and antennas on the goggles then it is as simple as going through the 8 channels of each band (you probably have 5 or 8 bands) to find the correct band and channel your drone is on. Also don’t due the newbie thing and power on your drone with no video antenna attached to the drone or you’ll fry your video transmitter.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the quick reply. Two patch antennae fitted to the goggles, which work fine with my diatone 3" quad. Vtx ae is fitted as well. Using the scan feature snd pressing buttoins on the gogles but still no picture. I've just had a go at the vtx table in betaflight to try and tune that way (smart audio). Got a picture, unplugged to fly, no picture. Going to try and do it through the CLI.
@@trevorperkins8828 That is unfortunate but typical of the FPV hobby and why I state in the vid... don't ask about flight time as everyone is different. If you have the analog version and an 850 mAh battery, yup, you can get 10 mins of flight. Of course your mileage is going to change depending on how you fly (the more you hover the more power used) and the weight of your 850 (all batteries range in weight).
Man I go to these fpv drone buying websites and I have no idea what to get and what not. I see bunch of stuff like RX version, I am just a beginner and have no clue what all this means.
If you want to get into the FPV Drone hobby then watch my video series entitled CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS (there are 11 episodes). Do a TH-cam search.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes I have checked your Playlist. I have a few queries, What drone would you recommend that a beginner can use as well as an experienced? What determines the speed and agility of a drone, are all fpv drones alike(when it comes to maneuverability, doing flips and stuff etc.). I am asking this because I live in a place where shipping is very expensive and sometimes not possible at all. So If I am getting something, it would have to be an investment as there are no local drone shops here that import from other countries, there is like one but only has dji stuff. I do have mini 2 and have little experience flying it.
@@In3rt_ia FPV drones come in different sizes and shapes. The bigger the drone the more powerful the drone. Drone's with prop guards are designed to fly slower and and lower to the ground. There are lots of ALL IN ONE beginner kits on the market and I have reviewed all the good ones. If you have lots of money, I have another review of one of those kits coming up on my channel. This kit is by EACHINE and designed to give the beginner PRO gear to use after they get good at flying, but it does cost more than other kits I've reviewed, because of that.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 from the BF footage it looks like you're flight was on a 200mw vtx setting. I've been curious as it's advertised as 350mw. Also how have the motor temps been? Heard a lot of people's land very hot.
Hi Captain, Thanks for your informative video. I am seriously considering the 95X based on your video and have checked your goggles & controller websites but do not have the $$$ for trial and error. Could you provide specific goggle & controller ordering information so that I can at least start by reproducing your video setup. Thanks again, Bill
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you, Captain! 1. What radio would you recommend? Where could I learn how to link the goggles-radio-95X? Thanks again, appreciate your words and your style! Bill
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 What radio would you recommend for use with the 95X now that the PRO model of the Taranis QX7 is no longer sold??? --Thanks for your FPV FOR BEGINNERS recommendation; started and highly informative before major $$$ investment!!!
@@williambrowne5634 Get an inexpensive RADIO MASTER TX16S. But I should warn you that the FPV hobby is something you really have to learn on your own. Everyone in the hobby has a million questions and problems when they start and everyone spends hours on TH-cam and forums to find solutions they can't figure out. Trust me when I say, it is a steep learning curve for a newbie, so if you get a radio, start watching videos on how to set it up long before you receive it.

Telling newbies that they can "overcharge" lipo batteries to get longer flight times might not be the smartest thing to say..
Newbies do not own RC Hobby battery chargers, hence no problem.

Yours may have come with one fitted I don't know but all the ones I can find in the UK don't come with an Rx hence me presuming yours was the same.
BetaFPV makes some under 250 gram rocketships. You should rip a few of those around to!
Captain, great work!
That thing hovers nicely. Mine must weight to much as I'm always on the throttle.
Also, I haven't found in your videos info on regulations and insurance. I know that this can differ depending on the country but at least in north America or even Canada. I believe for someone interested in joining this hobby should be aware of these. Thanks.
Yup, no drone insurance in Canada that is worth the cost which is why the government of Canada does not make it a requirement of flying an RC Plane or Drone.
Do you prefer this drone or the Protek 25?
Both very different. Protek is designed for longer range, fast flight, heavier lifting, hence the weight difference.
Thanks Captain! You're the best! If I use 850mah batteries, is it safe for the quad? or is there a danger of burning it?
It is fine
Great video. Can the biggest battery you showed - the 850, work on the hd/digital version or will be to heavy, since the digital version is heavier?
I have seen images of this guy with the Insta360 Go camera only. This might be a stupid question but does it fit other cameras? Like the normal HD Insta360 or a GoPro?
It is rather small, so you could put an INSTA360 GO but not the full model and not a full GoPro (would fly but fly poorly)

Nice one, Steve. Question from someone who’s never tried FPV: you mentioned putting a ‘little ND filter on it’-how much manual exposure control do you have on it?
i asked Betafpv. and they told me that you can do everything manual. Apart from the aperture of course.
There is no "real" exposure control on this model of camera like you'd find with a real pro camera. The ND filter is included with the camera.
For your in home demo, were you in a stabilized mode (angle/horizon)?
When I fly such drones indoors, they are always in ANGLE mode.
Its out with 1404 motors and new blades. Think it will make it so much better. I was thinking of cinelog 25, but now it might be 95x.
Is there such a difference 1106 vs 1204 vs 1404?
I tried them and they spin faster, but mine does not work correctly so I may have to configure something in BETAFLIGHT.

My FATSHARKs have adjustable lenses for all types of eyesight prescriptions. Not all FATSHARKs have this option.

As usual, very informative videos. I am jumping in as a noob. Beta95X V3 or the GepRC TinyGo 4k? Keep up the good work!
You can only buy the TINYGO in a Beginner Kit. The 95X V3 would require that you own goggles, radio, battery charger.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Much appreciated!
Great job capt can you fly this with just fpv camera no insta 360 etc..? Thx
Yes
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thx
Hi Steve. Just out of curiosity, can you pls explain the regulation regarding" device must be in direct line of sight at all times" with FPV drones?
It all depends on your country. For most countries, anything that is remotely flown the government always wants you to keep it in view and that applies to drones, planes, helicopters.... anything in the RC hobby that is placed in the air. For the FPV hobby, one has goggles on, which means the government could not figure out how such a drone could be kept in view, so they said... if you have anyone or know anyone out in the area that can see the drone, then all is well. Now you have to think... why must I keep a drone or plane in view? It is so that you don't fly it into a human. So the fix is to do like everyone in the hobby and fly where there are no humans. If you fly where humans are, then by all means either have a spotter or inform them of your presence. Finally, the great thing about drones is that are noisy, which makes humans look up and take notice and then become aware of the drones presence.
Hello again sir . Sorry for the question I’m new to this . Im trying to buy the mobula7 and is asking me witch receiver frsky EU-LBT or frsky Non-EU . My QX-7 is for D-16 . Witch one should I buy ? Please reply . Your my best source. Thanks
If you live in NORTH AMERICA it is NON-EU.
You are the best by a long shot . Sir thank you so much . I’m your loyal subscriber . Thanks for all you do . I appreciate you sir . I’m buying it through your link so you can get credit . Thanks again
What is the advantage of the crossfire over a frisky?
Range & penetration.
Awesome video! I have the 95x v2 (Analog) and my frame is falling apart from all of my crashes haha Do they have replacement frames for the V2 or am I able to move the v2 components to the v3 frame? Also, your flying looked so much smoother than mine. my v2 can be a little touchy and it can be hard to keep the height consistent. Any tips? Tuning tips?
Betafpv should have plenty of replacement parts. Flying smooth is normally just from practice practice practice.
Hey Cap. Hope your having a good day. What is a good goggle to get in the price range of 250 to 350. For range and comes complete.

Thank you sir. I will check it out. Are the Fatsharks just that much better to save for?
Hi all your vids are great! What can this do better than the mavic mini? I am wanting to get into fpv would this just be a good trainer before moving on to something bigger?
FPV allows the pilot to fly anyway they want which is why FPV drones are used in action sequences of movies (can't do that with a DJI camera drone).
Hi Captain Drone. Between the Iflight a85 HD and the 95x V3, which would you recommend and why? Thanks!
Very different drones. The A85 HD is for buzzing around like a Tinywhoop and the X95 is kind of a cinewhoop. So it all depends what you're up to.
CAPTAIN DRONE Thank you
Were you flying acro when you are flying indoors with one hand?
Nope, Angle mode.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 oh ok I was SUPER impressed. 😂 Great video!! Super helpful and informative as always. Keep up the great content! Love the FPV stuff.
What do you think is better between this and the eachine cvatar sir? Thanks
CVATAR is a CINEWHOOP (props point up) and the 95X V3 is a PUSHER drone (props point down). Two different drone types.
Hi as a newbie I would like to ask does the drone fly out of the box given if you order a model that you have a transmitter for. Not sure I am up to fiddling with flight programs yet regards Richard from UK
Yes and No. For a Newbie the answer is No. For an experience person the answer is Yes. Watch EPISODE #9 of my video series CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS.
Thank you for the info
I'm trying to figure out which RX version will work with my Taranis 9XD. I haven't been paying attention to the RX market for a while now and don't know if I need the FrSky FCC version or LBT? I'm thinking FCC? I'd like to know before I drop a couple hundred bucks, any idea?
Nevermind, I figured it out. The FCC one if you aren't in the EU.
can i mount gopro here?
Is this 5 blades louder than 3 blades or regular 3-5 inch drone? Seems to be it’s noisy a lot
Similar in sound.
My order from Betafpv has been delayed due to QC issues with the Insta
They are also sold out.
The Insta360 is sold at several locations, just try another. I included two different links below the vid to the camera.
If your goggles have dvr built in do you have to have a camera(not the camera to see through with your goggles using fpv) on drone since you can watch video later because of dvr?
In the hobby of FPV, the DVR that is built into FPV Goggles is only for you to play back the video when you crash your drone in a field and want to find it. It is never intended for quality video recording which is why you always see people in the FPV Hobby placing all types of cameras on the FPV Drone to capture quality video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 okay. I understand. Small drones either will need to come with one or I need to find a really small one to put on it in order to watch it with good quality. Yeah, I am leaning on the hglrc sector 132 I believe it is called. It has 2 cameras on it and in 4k
Awesome! Notifications squad
Great video! 👏👏 Is the V3 smoother to fly than the V2?
Yes, slightly. The V2 was nice to fly slow and hover and this one is slightly improved.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok, thank you!
Every das another Intro I Love it 😍
Thanks, Captain. Hows your PID's? the one that came with the manufacturer is not ideal and doesn't fly well as yours. I tried the one stick and my v3 doesn't keep still and it's drifting left or right. did you make any PIDS adjustments?
In the old days I used to change PIDs all the time, but over the past two years I never change them anymore. I fly so many drones that my brain just quickly adapts to whatever the PIDs are and I naturally compensate.
Hi how is this compared to the tinygo? I got the tinygo but its really hard to fly... thanks! Btw i’m a first timer with fpv
All FPV drones are difficult to fly until you train your brain the proper hand/eye coordination. This is why the CAMERA DRONE (DJI type drones) is known as the beginner hobby and FPV is known as the advanced hobby. Keep at it and you will train your brain and life will be fantastic in the FPV world.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks so much!
I ordered one but can you send a link of all 3 batteries that you have that you used in your video will showed in your video
I have no battery brand preferences, so when I buy batteries I buy whatever is on sale on AMAZON. If you do not understand batteries very well (i.e., you are not 100% confident) then watch my FPV FOR BEGINNERS episode on Batteries (I believe there are two of them... batteries and how to charge batteries)
Tattu R-Line 14.8V 4S 850mAh 95C LiPo Micro Battery - XT60.... is this a good battery for this kool little guy or maybe.... BetaFPV 14.8V 4S 850mAh 75C LiPo Micro Battery 2 Pack - XT60
Can I use a 4s 650mah Lipo with the beta65x V2 (pusher style) ? I just use the normal betafpv branded 450mah 4s lipos
Yes
I have an 20 amp iCharger. Do you know of a adapter to charge and maintain my camera drone batteries? Ultra mini usb to deans? thanks.
Check AMAZON.
I have with negative results.
Nice one man. Still digging ur truck! Lol
Thanks 👍
Hello Captain..Very sweet fpv. I still need to jump off that cliff.. I'm from Arizona and wondering what's all the white stuff on everything?? Asking for a friend.. peAce
Without going over 190 USD, can I get a better RTF kit than Emax Tinyhawk II Freestyle?
Not really. All the other kits are more expensive, unless there is something on Banggood.
Hi Captain, I literally watched this video while unboxing my Betafpv V3, I also got the analog version BnF, but I didnt get all those extras like the props etc, I didnt even get a instruction manual with it, Im looking for the bind button, can you indicate where it is on the drone ? Thanks alot
The BIND button is on the receiver. Did you order a Receiver, like an FRSKY XM+ or a CROSSFIRE, etc when you bought it? If you did, then BETAFPV attaches the receiver to the drone for you and you then just bind your compatible radio to the receiver. If you did not order a receiver, it means you have a pile of them at home and will solder your own receiver onto the flight controller.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ,Hey Captain , thanks for replying , yes I did purchase with a FRSKY XM+, is the receiver under the drone where the antenna and camera is connected ? Im sorry for my ignorance , this is my 1st step forward to FPV , I was using a tinyhawk 2 kit, and I did watch all your videos in starting out in FPV.
@@zaeemmohammed5521 Yes, it is in the center bottom. A small part should be sticking out showing the bind button. If you are not sure how to set up your radio, bind and betaflight, watch my CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS episode #9.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 , Hey Cap, so I found the bind button and I put the radiolite into D16 protocol, I then proceeded to plug in the battery to the drone and I hit the bind button, the lights turned green , I turned on the radio, put in bind mode and was not successful, is there anything im doing wrong ? I watched your videos for beginners but cant seem to get what am I not doing , both products are from betafpv , so im assuming they would bind easliy.
@@zz4000 I'm not familiar with your RADIOLITE. There is nothing else I can help with, the video says it all step by step.
Is there a reason for why the battery is mounted that way?
More space for a larger battery
Do you know of a similar cinewhoop (properly below 250g like this one) that is quieter? I will anyway build it myself because of rules but I'd like a default tune to base it on
Uhh ik im a year late😬 but can I bind it to the literadio 2 se??
All depends on if you get it with a compatible receiver
I am watching and wondering if it would fly with a 2s lion.....after my 1s lion experiment with the 85 non X. I like it though! Nice vid.
2s would be underpowered
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 probably for acro, but I am running a Chimera4LR on 2S Lion. As a beginner it seems fine in angle. I cannot fly acro yet anyway lol. #itsajourney
Good job
Is it a first time flyer to learn on (cine) or something else.
when you fly indoor like in your video, do you turn Air Mode off in betaflight?
Nope, I don't bother. If it's on by default, I leave it on.
Which is better beta 95x v3 or the protek25?
They are different drones. The 95x v3 is like a tiny whoop to buzz around in through things, and the Protek 25 & 35 are more like cinewhoops.
Hey captain, will you try Happymodel Cine8?
Check out Albert Kim's channel for Cine8
@@vanlifefpv6340 Already did, but wanna see captain review also :)
LOL.....it didnt take Steve to say overcharge...for longer flight times...Its all over the RC world sites...and has been for years.
Does this model have altitude hold function?
Nope. That is something found in toy drones or beginner GPS camera drones from DJI and other similar companies. This is a true FPV drone so it has none of that.
Let’s go I am second I love your videos sooooooooooooo much
According to specs sheet, F405 FC has extra UART1, so i added bn220 gps module. However, there is no uart1 available in betaflight ports tab. Any idea how to enable this?
No idea as often the hardware changes. Betafpv should be able to provide a response.
Nice drone i wish i have one
Can you review a mini drone that can paint? Becuase in Europe you also have to register a sub 250 gram drone when it has a camera.
Paint?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Paint, watercolor, crayons, would engraving, anything but a camera. Those are the rules. Even a $15 dollar 100 gram drone has to be registered (23 Euro for two years)if it has a camera. Privacy rules! I wonder if soon I you need to get a roller skate license too in case you roller skate past people's houses and peek through the window? Maybe photo cameras with identification broadcast so the CIA knows where you are? Privacy rules. Yep. It's the year 2021 alright!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 And then you will be an 'exploitant' of the drone. Which means they can trace what you put on TH-cam. Violate copyright and you pay tens of thousands! So be careful to upload footage of a tree.
Well it's the end of droning for most people. Instead of catching criminal the police will now switch to arrest mass murdering Tello pilots.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 And if your drone is 251 gram it will cost you 190 Euro all together. Then they wonder why people get aggressive dealing with the authorities? Oh no! Must be a crazy person! He got angry after we punished him with a 5000 Euro fine for flying a drone in a field. Yep he's crazy! Just say he is crazy and everything else is covered.
So I think I will throw all my drones in the bin. I don't want to risk my life being destroyed by some Gestapo cop. Even if I get a license and do register all my drones you still aren't sure if they won't find anything to punish you. That's their hobby. Punishing civilians.
@@driewiel Those rules sound like they were made by a Government that believes every citizen is a criminal.
Great video, thanks. Total noob here. I'm coming across from the dreaded DJI world, but I'm having issues tuning the goggles to the analog camera. Using Fatshark attitude v6 but can't get an image. Can't use the OSD or betaflight to config and can't work out how to change the channel on the vtx or tune without those. Anyone help?
For FPV goggles that are Analog on Fatsharks there must be a Video Receiver in the goggles where one or two antennas attach. Do you have this? If not that is your problem. If you have the receiver and antennas on the goggles then it is as simple as going through the 8 channels of each band (you probably have 5 or 8 bands) to find the correct band and channel your drone is on. Also don’t due the newbie thing and power on your drone with no video antenna attached to the drone or you’ll fry your video transmitter.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the quick reply. Two patch antennae fitted to the goggles, which work fine with my diatone 3" quad. Vtx ae is fitted as well. Using the scan feature snd pressing buttoins on the gogles but still no picture. I've just had a go at the vtx table in betaflight to try and tune that way (smart audio). Got a picture, unplugged to fly, no picture. Going to try and do it through the CLI.
Is it an XT60 or 30 plug?
XT 30
I find it hard to believe you’re getting over 10 minutes flight time on an 850
yea you won't. I've build my own one (bigger 1207 motors) but on 650 I get around 3 minutes of flight time.
Welcome to the new world of efficient drones. The old days of 3 min FPV flights went away in the year 2020.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I have this drone it gets nowhere near 10 minutes
@@trevorperkins8828 That is unfortunate but typical of the FPV hobby and why I state in the vid... don't ask about flight time as everyone is different. If you have the analog version and an 850 mAh battery, yup, you can get 10 mins of flight. Of course your mileage is going to change depending on how you fly (the more you hover the more power used) and the weight of your 850 (all batteries range in weight).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 No chance of getting 10 minutes let’s see it make a video
Man I go to these fpv drone buying websites and I have no idea what to get and what not. I see bunch of stuff like RX version, I am just a beginner and have no clue what all this means.
If you want to get into the FPV Drone hobby then watch my video series entitled CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS (there are 11 episodes). Do a TH-cam search.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes I have checked your Playlist. I have a few queries, What drone would you recommend that a beginner can use as well as an experienced? What determines the speed and agility of a drone, are all fpv drones alike(when it comes to maneuverability, doing flips and stuff etc.). I am asking this because I live in a place where shipping is very expensive and sometimes not possible at all. So If I am getting something, it would have to be an investment as there are no local drone shops here that import from other countries, there is like one but only has dji stuff. I do have mini 2 and have little experience flying it.
@@In3rt_ia FPV drones come in different sizes and shapes. The bigger the drone the more powerful the drone. Drone's with prop guards are designed to fly slower and and lower to the ground. There are lots of ALL IN ONE beginner kits on the market and I have reviewed all the good ones. If you have lots of money, I have another review of one of those kits coming up on my channel. This kit is by EACHINE and designed to give the beginner PRO gear to use after they get good at flying, but it does cost more than other kits I've reviewed, because of that.
350mw vtx power setting?
That's what the specs say... I scratched my head as well.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 from the BF footage it looks like you're flight was on a 200mw vtx setting. I've been curious as it's advertised as 350mw. Also how have the motor temps been? Heard a lot of people's land very hot.
captain awsome review as always. i love your channel
Thanks a ton!
Hi Captain, Thanks for your informative video. I am seriously considering the 95X based on your video and have checked your goggles & controller websites but do not have the $$$ for trial and error. Could you provide specific goggle & controller ordering information so that I can at least start by reproducing your video setup. Thanks again, Bill
My setup is rather expensive. Goggles are FATSHARK HDO2 and my radio is the PRO model of the Taranis QX7 (no longer sold).

--Thanks for your FPV FOR BEGINNERS recommendation; started and highly informative before major $$$ investment!!!
@@williambrowne5634 Get an inexpensive RADIO MASTER TX16S. But I should warn you that the FPV hobby is something you really have to learn on your own. Everyone in the hobby has a million questions and problems when they start and everyone spends hours on TH-cam and forums to find solutions they can't figure out. Trust me when I say, it is a steep learning curve for a newbie, so if you get a radio, start watching videos on how to set it up long before you receive it.
captain drone thats great..
