Im just getting into FPV and watched a lot of beginner rtf videos. Never got why all the videos are 80% level/horizon mode and then 10sec acro. Acro is the only reason to get into FPV (atleast for me). Learning how to fly in level/horizon takes about 30sec in the sim, dont need a kit for that 😋
Steve I so appreciate videos you do like this! Gives me enough info to decide if I’d want one being the newbie that I am. In this case I’m putting my name on the waiting list!! Thanks again Steve!!!!
Nice little kit for sure, and they make good stuff. It is however brushed motors and only 25mw vtx. Would be a good start for an absolute beginner. Don't fly brushed motors back to back to back flights...give them time to cool and they will last a long time.
If I were a newbie, I would be buying this for sure. Great looking kit for someone starting out in the FPV hobby. Your video was very good, as usual, demonstrating the pro and cons. 👍👍😀
Man that's a great video! I couldn't find the kit on Amazon 😢, but the link provided in the description got me to the online store. Looks like there's a new version of the kit coming soon and can be preordered. Free item offered with purchase, I picked extra motors, FOR FREE! Thanks for all the effort in making the video. I like the extremely small size of the drone the most, and the fact that it works with a flight simulator.
I rarely ever use turtle mode. Think of it this way, turtle mode is for when you are upside down…. How could you possibly end up upside down, unless you crash? Once you are an experienced pilot and fly the same drone over and over, you’ll probably never crash.
Hmmm..I like that the goggles have a removeable screen unit, but I still am thinking the Tiny hawk's a better drone? Also like the multiple batteries and that trick charger. Looks like a kinda crummy image though. Lots of interference. As you pointed out though, lots of plusses!
Hello Captain drone, what assemble bundle FVP drone would you recommand me for a beginner and under 250 grams but better (of course not as cheap in price) than the model in this video?
I got this kit because of your video. It’s been a lot of fun to fly and learn with. Thankfully the drone can take a pretty good crash! Can you pair the remote with a different drone?
Captain sir, trying to decide between this and the BETAFPV Cetus FPV RTF Drone Kit, prime day price of $154. Which is the better path for an fpv noob? I like that the newbie has dvr and I like the way the monitor snaps apart from the googles…. Thoughts about which is a better path forward? Thank you!
I love lil fpv drones like that one. I hear the piranha fpv drone is used a lot in Ukraine by the Russians. I would appreciate it if you could possibly do a review of one of them and all the capabilities. My dji fpv drone is getting old and im looking for a replacement with similar capabilities.
hey i have recently got into this hobby but the drone kit /whoop kit i bought is really bad and the drone broke after one crash into grass (Apex fpv 70) i was wondering if i could buy one of the cheap drone kits that got sent to you or can you give me some nice cheap recommendations.
the biggest mystery still is - what do the 2 buttons on the remote do A and B - i know u can hold both 5 sec to calibrate the sticks - but do they have a function? Recalibrate or sth maybe?
Remotes for such kits are GENERIC which is why the buttons are NEVER maked as to what they do. This means some buttons/switches do nothing for certain drones and do a function for other drones.
Hi, im from italy. I wanna start to dig in in this beautiful world of drone, i started watching a guy mounting his one long range drone, and i start to see that its a really really vast world. I would like to create my own, but prices a part, even if ill be able to i could just broke it on the first fly... so i wanna start with something i can play with. Is it better this kit or the aquila 16 FPV kit or the DrakNight RTF? and if there is another one feel free to tell me. I could try even a small diy first, but the price will go up because i dont have radio and goggles. Btw thanks for all the videos.
If someone were to buy a kit like this, what would be the next upgrade? The drone itself, the transceiver, or the goggles? Does it come down to personal preference? LOADS of information in this video alone. Currently binging your videos. I’ve subbed - thank you for this content!
I would say that the majority of people buy such kits just to dip their toe into the FPV Hobby and practice flying on a simulator of their choice. When they become good and outgrow the kit, then they buy all new Pro Gear in one of the following fields: ANALOG, HD ZERO, WALKSNAIL or DJI FPV.
The simulator is extremely old, it is called FREERIDER. The VIDEO output being 25mw means the video range is a maximum of one football field in length with no interference.
Hello captain I have a Aquila 16 drone by Betafpv and I had so much fun going and flying at Bok Tower Gardens in Florida and it worked very well but I’m a noob so I crash and fall so I guess the drone got sick and the video transmission is now breaking up almost after takeoff so I try to take it apart and fix it by straightening the antenna it works, but no it’s not working I got it on amazon for black fri for 270$ originally 360$ so I don’t know what to do so I return it before I do plz tell me what to do but I am buying this kit NewBeeDrone be drone
any way you could do a comparative Video on the Under $200.00 beginner kits? you have the NewBeeDrone VR Drone RTF Bundle Kit, you have the BETAFPV Cetus Lite FPV Drone Kit, and you have the Tiny Hawk RTF Micro Indoor Racing Drone. just wondering which is actually the best for the money for a beginner. (also are there any I missed?)
Prescription lenses for individual eyepiece FPV Goggles are just that.... you send in your eye prescription and lenses are created (many, many, online companies do this for all types of goggles).
Have a look at the video… now look at the bottom of the video… now look slightly below the bottom for a down triangle icon, or perhaps text that says “show more”. Every video on TH-cam has a VIDEO DESCRIPTION where the author of the video places the LINK that you click on to access the product.
Captain, please help me I have had it for a couple of days so fun. But I was lifting off my counter and I fell off I was like ok it’s fine took it to my room and the top right moter it not spinning what do I do😭😭😭
The motors plug into the bottom flight controller, make certain it is plugged in. If you can’t get the motor to work, then you can order 4 motors from NEWBEEDRONE and replace the correct one with another motor that spins in the same direction (they come in a package of 4 with two motors spinning one way and two the other).
Would you buy this beginner FPV drone Or the Cetus FPV Kit for beginner? The only big difference I see is the controllers are a little bit different. So with that in mind, which one would you recommend to start off with to get into the hobby.
It sounds like you are on a budget and looking at RTF kits with BRUSHED motors. The VR DRONE is the BEST of the BRUSHED RTF Kits. If you want something better with BRUSHLESS MOTORS, look at the SUB250 WHOOPFLY 16 or the CETUS PRO or the GEPRC TINYGO
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I am on a budget. I don’t wanna spend more than $165 on a beginner kit for right now I don’t care about brushed or brushless. Just trying to dabble my feet into the hobby.

Hey Steve! GREAT video once again! Just curious, is your facebook account still yours? I don't see anything posted there since 2022. Wasn't sure if you maybe got locked out? I have a question I would rather ask privately. Thanks Steve!
The Captain Drone FB account was just an experiment. I hired a company to create it and run it. It was rather expensive and was draining my budget so I ended the deal and the page now sits in limbo.
0615s have a maximum lifespan of 6 hours. You can't escape it, coz brushes wear out. Definitely budget for spare motors, because you'll need them if you're a total novice.
Hair? Did you fly it into someone’s head? Do you have pets and flew it into all the pet hairs? If you have the props on correct it will take off as long as the battery is FULLY charged.
@ No captain I have a mom with long hair that’s on the floor in the carpet almost everywhere I looked at your video and tryed to copy what you have, but still nothing I think the battery is full
Yikes, you are one of those low education uninformed “Everything I Assume is correct” people. Watch this and you’ll be 1% smarter then you are currently: th-cam.com/video/c95tBIClzDg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-csGoJiWIQ39XN-N
It is for beginners to FPV. You may be surprised but this is exactly how most of us learned how to fly FPV. It was for me (a cheap little Horizon Hobby brushed drone flying around the house)

Awesome review as always, thank you!
Damn, this set is tempting. I've been curious about FPV flying for a while now, but the entry price has stopped me... so far.
Fun video ! 😃
No stone unturned on this review !
Thanks Cap .
Why did they have the VR added? I got all excited they somehow were adding some feature like 3D to the goggles.
It’s coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IM PUMPED
If I were a newbie, I would be buying this for sure. Great looking kit for someone starting out in the FPV hobby. Your video was very good, as usual, demonstrating the pro and cons. 👍👍😀
Thank you! 😊
Captain I changed the motors to black ones and it rips it’s awesome every thing works
Great to hear!
Also Captain, is there a turtle mode? Or manual turtle mode like you quickly turn right and left and repeat until it becomes unstuck?
If I showed it in the video, then there is a FLIP OVER (TURTLE MODE) option. Often that exists on BRUSHLESS MOTORS and not as often on BRUSHED MOTORS.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Um, you didn't show it but it is ok! I am a beginner, so that wouldn't be a problem as I won't fly it far away :)

Excellent Tutorial Video On The VR Drone FPV Kit. Thank you Captain Steve.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Captain, can you recommend tricks go get the drone unstuck from upside-down state? I hope it had something like that!
Sounds like you have your FLIP OVER switch engaged still.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 no, like the drone is flipped over. But there's no turtle mode or flip over modem
As always, a great detailed review. Thanks
wish I had seen this before buying this: BETAFPV Cetus Lite FPV Drone Kit. 8( which would you think is better for a beginner?
Decent price always great information
Hey Captain! Is there a way to upgrade the VTX on this thing? I would appreciate the help!
Probably not worth the effort/cost.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 OK, Captain! Thanks for informing me!
Good 👍 starter kit.
😅hello Captain Steve, as always nice review again, fyi coz you educate us I ended up buying avata2 and enjoying it, from Philippines thanks.
Great to hear!
Why can’t everyone offer that kind of compatibility with their goggles and radio? And what an innovative goggle design with the detachable panel!
Another cool video, not a bad FPV drone for that price. Quick question, what watch are you wearing? Looks pretty cool too.
Something I picked up off AMAZON a long time ago (no longer exists)
Mines is coming in 3 days. I’m so happy
I’m sure you will enjoy it!

Pick whatever you can afford

Hey Captain does not having turtle mode annoy you? Is it a must have?

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Oooh, that makes sense!!! So it makes you professional not to crash. You are the best, thank you.
Is the camera angle fixed?
If so, do you sacrifice horizon headroom in acro?
The camera angle is fixed. In acro the nose dips down but still useable.
Hmmm..I like that the goggles have a removeable screen unit, but I still am thinking the Tiny hawk's a better drone? Also like the multiple batteries and that trick charger. Looks like a kinda crummy image though. Lots of interference. As you pointed out though, lots of plusses!
Hey captain, would you say this is the overall best kit for a beginner? or do you have other recommendations?
In the price range it is the BEST kit
Hello Captain drone, what assemble bundle FVP drone would you recommand me for a beginner and under 250 grams but better (of course not as cheap in price) than the model in this video?
If you are rich, check out the SUB250 WHOOPFLY 16 or the GEPRC TINYGO or the BETAFPV CETUS PRO
CAPTAIN… Thanks for your usual empolgation
Good review Steve
Now were getting back into the cool stuff!!🎉
I got this kit because of your video. It’s been a lot of fun to fly and learn with. Thankfully the drone can take a pretty good crash! Can you pair the remote with a different drone?
I believe the remote is an ELRS REMOTE so that means you can bind it to other ELRS Receiver drones.
So, if I would just ask it to be digital as well - which VR drone DIGITAL FPV kit would be the best for a beginner?
The BEST lowest costs DIGITAL platform is WALKSNAIL.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I can only find seperate parts. Is there a "snail-kit" that I cannot find?
Can you show me how to bind BETAFPV meteor 75 pro Elrs to beta FPV.SkyDive lite radio 2se elrs pls

If they made a digital 03 iunit like this they would slay the market. Im supporised no one has
Digital is crazy expensive because the unit in the drone adds $250 US to the price & then another $300 for the digital goggles
what about people who wear glasses? are there any lenses i can use?
Would these goggles work with my DJI mini se?
Only DJI products work with DJI Products
Please do a follow up video after the Kit has been delivered

Simple… you chopped the antenna or dislocated the antenna. Once you fix or replace this it will be back to normal.
@ yes but the fixing vid said to make it straight because mine was bent!?!?

What's the range?
Probably one football field at most. It is only 25mw as it is designed for people to learn FPV flying.
