    I have to give it up to Joshua, he did an outstanding job breaking some of these tricks down. I've been telling people since Dec to move your fpv cam into 60degree, hold it in your hand and see what the thrust does in certain position in reference to the fpv camera. But now ill just point them to this video lol. But one thing I dont suggest doing is just putting your camera to 60 and head out flying. gradually move it up. around sept i really started working on my speed, and it just made sense to me to fly with more tilt. i started at 45 and slowly went up to 60-70degrees. but I learnt the new flight physics and mastered them before moving to an enclosed concrete structure like underneath the bridge. I dont want to see anyone getting discouraged because they break there gear. I came from stunting motorcycle where if i didnt perform a trick properly i would break bones. so it doesnt bother me that much if i break a quad or gopro.
    Also I dont fly lumenier gear. I fly a LRC X frame. Its ultra light, a true X frame and perfectly balanced on all three axis.
    Thanks again Joshua, its an excellent tutorial.

    • @DiegoTheWolf
      @DiegoTheWolf 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +mattystuntz Do you have a custom mix in your RC or is it just learning, that the Yaw/Roll is nearly swapped ?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +Diego The Wolf I am pretty sure that matty and others like him just learn to fly that way. I have gone from 15 degrees uptilt all the way to about 45 degrees. Each time I add another 5-10 degrees, the copter feels like it's flying a little weird, and then my brain sort of re-adjusts and I'm good to go. When people suggest fancy mixing and other features to compensate for camera uptilt, I'm a little skeptical. I want my stick inputs to correspond to motor inputs, not camera inputs. My brain can handle the translation.

  • @hiwayM9
    @hiwayM9 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Hell, I knew it was camera up tilt, but it still makes my mind melt.
    Only Josh could break it down so the synapses could fire around it and understand.

  • @FinalGlideAus
    @FinalGlideAus 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    This was an easy one. Now to see if you can explain why Skitzo's videos look different. Hint, it has something to do with camera tilt as well :)

    • @daneadamgrace
      @daneadamgrace 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +FinalGlideAus He flys with no camera tilt i guess?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think Skitzo has less uptilt on his GoPro than his FPV cam. I was just looking at his Instagram the other day.

    • @FinalGlideAus
      @FinalGlideAus 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Joshua Bardwell Hard to pull the wool over your eyes :). Skitzo runs flat GoPro and abut 30 FPV cam tilt. This gives all his barrel roll type tricks looks much more axial. It also makes the GoPro look at the ground during FFF so that's why you always see him going vertical

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      FinalGlideAus Tell him to try out the cam uptilt compensation feature. With 30 of FPV, try putting in 15 of uptilt compensation. should give relatively axial rolls while making framing of regular shots easier.
      If you were to combine 15 degrees of GoPro uptilt with 15 degrees of uptilt compensation, then the GoPro should be perfectly axial, but less staring at the ground during forward flight.

    • @FinalGlideAus
      @FinalGlideAus 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Joshua Bardwell But then it really screws with the way the quad flies. The whole point of us acro pilots is that we remove as much of the influence of the FC so we can do what we want.

    Bought a RTF kit and Velocidrone to practice a month or so ago. I have close to 20 hours into Velocidrone and a couple packs each day in the last couple weeks. It was getting extremely frustrating because it felt like I was never in control. I saw this video and plugged in a 50 degree camera into Velocidrone and now I actually go where I intend to. Waiting for some packs to charge and the wind to calm down outside now to test IRL. Would have never dawned on me to test camera angle; just thought something was wrong with my motor skills.

    Joshua, great video, however I'm trying to understand your thrust vector arrow pointing in the wrong direction. Any reason for that? Is not thrust the force opposite to prop air flow?

  • @rigo6964
    @rigo6964 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about the backwards flying around 2:04 mark in his video... Is he just pitching back and rolling? Or is he just lowering throttle and rolling?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rigo He's not flying backwards. I think that he's basically doing a nose-in spin around the pylon, but the camera's uptilt makes it look like he's pitched back.

  • @ghall05
    @ghall05 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Curious to hear your thoughts on this, Joshua: an option in beta flight where camera up-tilt is entered by the user and the flight controller mixes the roll/yaw inputs so that, for example, a roll-only input would result in the copter only "rolling" from the perspective of the fpv camera (no PERCEIVED yaw). So, if 90 degrees was entered (and used on the copter), roll and yaw would be completely swapped. This would mean if you used a stick input to roll the copter left, the fc would actually be yawing it to the right instead. If 45 was entered, a roll input would be broken into 50% roll and 50% yaw in the OPPOSITE direction. A yaw input would result in 50% yaw and 50% roll in the SAME direction.
    Just curious to see if any pilots can imagine this resulting in a desired flight feel or if it would just add to the confusion. Maybe this is already being done in transmitter programming? Maybe the copter would be unflyable? I'm still trying to process this mind bender.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ghall05 I don't personally like that option. In order to do snap rolls at high uptilt, the copter would need to mix in large amounts of yaw. I think it's very likely that the copter would not have enough yaw authority to keep everything together, and would become destabilized. I don't mind coordinating turns and rolls by hand. It takes a bit of adjustment, but I get used to it and I'm fine. But I feel like coordinating a snap roll to get pure roll back out of this algorithm would be difficult, because it's happening so fast. I like knowing that when I bang the roll stick full over, no yaw at all is being commanded, and maximum authority is being given to the roll axis. The snap-roll makes a cone instead of a line, but it happens so fast that I don't care. I also kind of like some of the unexpected effects of up-tilt on the camera, such as entering a split-s "level" (actually pitched forward) and then being pointing straight down when I roll 180.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ghall05 All that being said, I haven't actually tested it out yet, and I intend to test it some time soon, and maybe I will love it.

    • @ghall05
      @ghall05 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joshua Bardwell Great point. Of course, a 50/50 roll/yaw mix would feel like you were flying a copter with 0° tilt (except at WARP speed). Since most of us are probably used to flying with an angle of about 30°, the mix could be tweaked to give a copter with a large amount of up-tilt the feel of one with a less extreme angle (except faster!) and would lessen the amount of work the yaw axis would be required to do.
      All in the name of MORE AWESOME!

  • @justinharrell2233
    @justinharrell2233 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    very nice explanation Josh! again I find your videos very informative. I have an off topic question again for you. a few weeks ago I asked about 4s batteries and my quad shutting down on full throttle. your suggestion was higher c rating. well I purchased a 40c battery (zippy) and still get the same result. what I don't understand is why I can fly on 35c at 3s but 40c on 4s and I get low voltage. I don't fly very aggressive at all. what c rating would you suggest (or batteries) and is there something else I may be missing? thank you very much in advance!

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +J dog harrell You can't judge what C rating you need until you determine how many amps your motors are trying to pull. Check the results in this video:
      th-cam.com/video/chPSEXXQ3hk/w-d-xo.html
      Notice that, all else being equal, switching from 3S to 4S results in about 30% more amp draw at full throttle.
      But honestly, if you say you don't fly aggressively, then there is probably something else you're missing, but I don't know what it would be.

    • @justinharrell2233
      @justinharrell2233 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joshua Bardwell OK, so in theory the throttle/amp curve is much greater on 4s at the higher end as compared to a 3s battery? that would likely explain why even a 40c battery would still shut down my quad (assuming the C rating was accurate). I have a tattu 45c in the mail to try, hoping for positive results.

  • @rotorixfpv
    @rotorixfpv 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm flying with about 10 degrees uptilt. Is it better for beginner to set up something like 30-35 degrees and start to learn flying with it, or better to start from 10 and go up step by step? I think it is difficult to fly slow with high tilted cam for beginner

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you go with too much uptilt too soon you'll just crash a lot because you can't slow down.

    • @rotorixfpv
      @rotorixfpv 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Joshua Bardwell so it is better to learn with small tilt. By the way - thank you for the work you do. It's amazing. It is better channel about fpv. And your videos comes out right as just as I imagine any question about fpv)) some kind of magic?))

    I'm not ready for the hyper speed yet. maybe once the trees sprout leaves again. As a compromise, I've installed a2.1mm lens. it was really easy to adjust to.

      how you want to fly a circle in real life...^^

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      In order to fly a circle, thrust must be 90 degrees to the tangent, I believe. I am pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that if thrust was not 90 degrees to the tangent, you would fly an arc instead of a circle.
      But honestly, it's all abstract. It's just concepts.

  • @juggalizzle75
    @juggalizzle75 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question... Why would you need your flight camera at such an extreme angle and force to fly differently? Your GoPro mounted at an extreme angle (60 degrees) while leaving your flight camera at more of a conservative angle (40ish) creates the same affect without the confusing optical illusions during flight

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesn't, because then you're not flying at high uptilt and the GoPro simply looks at the sky and the ground. The GoPro angle must be relatively close (say, within +/- 10 degrees) to the FPV camera angle for the flight footage to look good.

    @i4dat 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very informative, I'm just getting the parts to build a QAV250 to move away from my smaller training junk and so I'm looking at as many setup/instructional videos that I can find. Question for you Joshua, what would his FPV camera be set at? The same degree as the HD camera or something different?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe he sets his FPV camera to less uptilt. Personally I prefer to keep my FPV and HD cameras at very similar angle because it helps with framing. But other top pilots run at different angles. Less HD than uptilt mea s you can fly fast while keeping your rolls looking pure. Less FPV angle than HD means you get more 3d like effect.

  • @FunkFPV
    @FunkFPV 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Technically you don't actually need to fly with 60° up tilt. You could get the same effect with a conventionally angled FPV cam. and your action cam set at 60°.

    • @JoshuaBardwell

  • @fyresg
    @fyresg 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This is very informative. Thank you! Can you make a video on tilted motors? Your video shows the benefits of having 60 degrees of uptilt in terms of aerobatics, but to get the most speed, would having less uptilt but with tilted motors be better? Tilted motors allows the quad to get the same amount of forward vector but at less tilt, which makes it more aerodynamic. Despite this benefit, tilted motors are apparently unpopular. Do you know why?

    • @piman3072
      @piman3072 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Fyre SG I've heard they mess with yaw characteristics, since your motors are no longer in the same plane. There are several frames now, such as the Krieger and LRC X frame, where the increased drag is negligible, so motor tilts don't have much benefit anymore.

  • @MasterMayhem78
    @MasterMayhem78 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question. What angle is the fpv cam? What angle is the footage cam? I'm trying to clear this up between a friend and I. He swears up and down that the footage cam is at about 30 degrees, and the Fpv cam is 60. I think it's the opposite. Could you clarify this for me please. Thank you.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +RadioActive RC The HD cam is definitely, unquestionably, at high uptilt. There is no way to do the tricks that matty does without high uptilt on the camera from which we are seeing the footage. It's possible to run the FPV cam at lower angle than the HD cam, in which case the HD cam looks like crazy mattystuntz land while the pilot is actually seeing something more normal. It's also possible to do the opposite and run the HD cam at lower angle than the FPV cam. This lets the pilot fly fast but keeps rolls looking centered for the viewer. It also means that the viewer sees more of the ground and less of the sky, which can be okay to a point, since the viewer doesn't need to actually steer the copter.
      I think I remember matty saying that his FPV cam was at a lower angle than his HD cam, but I honestly can't remember where I heard that, so don't take it as gospel.

    • @MasterMayhem78
      @MasterMayhem78 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joshua Bardwell thank you for the quick reply. It made sense to me that the HD cam would be at a higher tilt angle in order to give us the awesome anti gravity footage. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Ok , this is not a secret, we all know that, but how he manage to do yaw spin at 6:18 at his last video

    • @TheImperfectGent
      @TheImperfectGent 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That part initially confused me too. However if you do what Joshua suggests and imagine what the quad is doing then you'll see that it is 'just' a power loop with the quad pointing at a right angle to its direction of movement. It requires a huge amount of skill to pull off, but he's not breaking physics to do it! 😀

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Imagine it as a roll maneuver with 90 degrees uptilt. It would look like yaw because if the uptilt. Whenever you're above 45 degrees uptilt, yaw and roll appear transposed from the camera's view.

    • @BorisBnow
      @BorisBnow 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Joshua Bardwell Yeah its more like a roll with a bit of yaw :D. Really stunning and game changing flying btw. It really makes you think!

  • @dingr
    @dingr 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Josh... You said, 'most of us would crash when you do that' at the end of the vid. Remember that you can fly with regular up tilt on your FPV cam. You only need to have the recording cam with the extreme up tilt. No crashing!

    • @mattystuntz
      @mattystuntz 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Richard Ding Doesnt work that way. you need to see where youre going. you would crash way more with less tilt trying the maneuvers i do.

    • @csman77
      @csman77 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +mattystuntz Yea that is the real key here in how these videos melt your brain, the FPV cam is at 60 degrees and the HD cam is at 45. Really smart stuff for getting outstanding footage and I am sure it takes quite an adjustment to fly with a 60 degree angle :)

    thanks Joshua. makes sense. A true master of all dimensions would maybe try headtracking his cam tilt - but then it gets so weird :)Once I was curious to see if HT on a quad makes any sense - and of course it was a short experiment :)currently I'm at 10-20° of tilt and already feel cool flying this way :) Ah yes: more wideangle lens might be good for those extreme stunts, doesnt it? (I guess most of those guys fly 2.1mm lenses?)

  • @bobturner3388
    @bobturner3388 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So, mattystuntz GoPro must be at 60degree plus angle also,correct?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think that Matty doesn't run the same angle on his gopro as his FPV camera. But if you want your audience to see the effect of the crazy uptilt, you need to run the gopro at the crazy uptilt. I think that Matty runs his FPV camera at less uptilt than his gopro.

    Well done Sir I love the physics included! And here I've been sitting on 20 degrees thinking how are they doing this, I'm missing the link! I figured more tilt would surely help in racing, but I don't race! Didn't think of the advantages in acrobatics! Time to stop sitting cozy at 20 and up the ante! I'm off to crash the sh** out of my quad!

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +IzakGt for what it's worth, many acro pilots fly with less uptilt for more pure axial rolls and to be able to slow down in proximity situations.

    I watched Matty's last vid, 'A new Age', with my jaw on the floor the other day, in awe of his skill and the beauty of his flying style (plus that song.. wow). That I got to 2:04 in the vid and confusion set in :lol: All the cam tilt in the world doesn't explain what's going on here; he's knife-edging round the beam with no loss of alt! It seems that for Matty, not only is gravity no impediment, but neither are the laws of physics.
    JB, please explain :D

    • @HerbsmanRevs
      @HerbsmanRevs 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Revs Hmm, think I've sussed it. It's subtle but it looks like a/ he is losing a little alt and b/ he's not quite rolled 90*, so he's only losing alt slowly, but with so much cam tilt his roll angle actually looks like yaw... if that makes sense. Oh, and his quad weighs like 5 grams lol
      Still, a stunning video and pilot.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Revs yes, exactly. The uptilt makes roll look like yaw.

    • @mattystuntz
      @mattystuntz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Revs Ive told people to do this a couple months ago in my previous video comments. put your fpv cam to 60, then hold it in your hand and see what the thrust does in different orientations. when you fpv camera is in a knife edge position you are still producing lift. thats what makes knife edge rolls possible.

    • @HerbsmanRevs

      +mattystuntz Only just found/subbed you a couple of weeks ago dude, but you have some great vids. Now I've thought about it I see what's happening, but how you do it in realtime is beyond me.

    • @sankofamusician

  • @gedgar2000
    @gedgar2000 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm feeling proud of myself, because I could see some of the effects you mention coming, but I gathered my courage, and set my camera to its max uptilt position. Which happens to be 60 degrees... on the FPVFreerider sim. The same one I learned acro mode from you on. Thanks. I went from not even being able to fly to the FIRST gate, to feeling good, and doing neat tricks. Even in my real quad. I was brave though to try it, but not crazy and scared to try it on my real quad. Hence the sim.
    I pretty much figured out the effects you're talking about, and had pleasant surprises, and negative ones. But I kind of expected them. Split S's become a visibility piece of cake, but pull out low with the horizon level, and your gonna crash! Just flying around was a bitch. If your heading towards an opening level, you're hauling ass. To gain a little needed altitude, without changing attitude can take A LOT of throttle, if you can do it. So I was gaining loads of speed, and I already was going faster than I wanted. I think stuff I learn in the sim transfer well into a real quad. Thanks, you're explanations were great. I was in shock! LOL

  • @3000gtwelder
    @3000gtwelder 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, I was wondering how he did that. I figured he had reversible props maybe. But this makes sense also. A couple of moves he does later on in that video, he is in the trees coming into a split -S blind, and it just looks like a luck shot to me, it's so strange looking, but cool at the same time.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you watch one of his earlier videos he shows how much prep work went into doing a reverse blind exit from a loop. It's not luck. He practices like crazy with LOS spotters to help him get his visual references correct.

    I was bashing my quad around the other day. Knocked the camera into a negative tilt. Man was that a mind fuck. It was so disorienting, forwards was backwards, I slammed into my car.

  • @claudiustars13498
    @claudiustars13498 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally i have to disagree. I think that his quad is a bit more heavy meaning, it has greater momentum, also since he is going really fast that also adds to the momentum of the quad thus giving more hang time. I dont think he has more than 45 degrees of uptilt, i think its very challenging to get the 60 degrees uptilt. From what i know Mr Steele is using 25-30 degrees which is relatively a small angle. So to sum it up... i think the momentum is the secret. (i also think he is is using 3D, cause even if he had 60 degrees of uptilt he would not be able to pull those tricks of. (simple trigonometry))

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Claudiu Ciontea a heavier quad does not have more hang time because it achieves less vertical velocity for a given amount of thrust.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Claudiu Ciontea and Matty himself has verified thst I'm right. So there really is no debate.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Claudiu Ciontea he is not using 3d.

    • @claudiustars13498
      @claudiustars13498 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok fair enough but he is going pretty much at full throttle and he's quad has the thrust. The main point is that i disagree with the up tilt .. i really dont think he is using such an extreme angle.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    hey Josh I got a quick question for you since they found those new planets they are questioning gravity and they are questioning whether or not the Earth is actually spinning I had somebody ask me a good question and I did not have the answer for it when we do a bunch out to the clouds why when we descend are we not in another location if the Earth is actually spinning I know I need to put my tinfoil hat on LOL I figured you would be the perfect guy to ask on this

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Ultimatevapor918 just to be clear, nobody legitimate is questioning whether the earth is spinning. But to get to your question, let me ask you a question back.
      The earth is spinning.
      You are standing on the surface of the earth.
      You are therefore spinning.
      The Earth has an atmosphere. When the atmosphere moves relative to the surface of the earth, we call that wind.
      Sometimes there is no wind.
      What does it mean when there is no wind?

    • @JoshuaBardwell

    • @BoosiveFPV
      @BoosiveFPV 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joshua Bardwell Ohh there's no doubt he's an awesome pilot but he also tricking us in to making us believe he's doing the unthinkable making him look better and that this type of flying isn't possible when it's just the usual tricks with extreme camera tilt. I've only just started flying so I'll stick to my 30 degrees for now thank you haha. Check my channel. Not bad for the little experience I have. I will be this good one day ;)

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Lewis “BoosiveFPV” Boateng I really feel like it's overly dismissive to say that he's tricking us. What he's doing is not "just the usual tricks". Check out his first big video, where he does a blind backwards loop between two trees, for example. I had never seen that trick before he did it, and the behind-the-scenes video he published shows just how much practice and prep was required to pull it off. You try doing the vertical drops he does between trees... it's very hard! Heck, you try flying as fast as he does without crashing at all! Matty is definitely innovating.
      Anyway, the way uptilt changes the direction of thrust is so radical that I don't even think you can say this is "the same old tricks". Look at how he floats at the top, underneath the highway. Nobody who wan't running 60-70 degrees uptilt could even attempt that trick.
      You're entitled to your opinion, but I really disagree.

    • @BoosiveFPV
      @BoosiveFPV 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joshua Bardwell you did clearly say in your vid that the cam tilt gives the illusion that he's pulling off the unthinkable though. When it's just extreme camera tilt combined with professional flying skills. I guarantee if the other greats did the same thing. Their videos would have the same effect. Before this I thought he had super powers lol. But all it is practice getting the moves down and then gradually increasing the camera tilt as you improve. In a sense. Anyone can do this. It just requires practice like most things. That's all I'm trying to say. Not trying to discredit his flying at all. He's a world class pilot. I'm just saying that the cam makes it look like he's actually doing more then what he is. I'd like to see the action cam at a normal angle. I guarantee the videos wouldn't look quite as spectacular. Do you not agree?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Lewis “BoosiveFPV” Boateng Well, in a sense, anybody can do anything with enough practice... Matty has always said he's not using any 3D or other tricks. Just camera uptilt.
