don’t need the sim, i’ve got several years as a heli pilot in battlefield 4 lol
edit: aha. it’s been like a year and a half since i left this comment. ended up getting a tinyhawk 2 just a few days ago. never realised that i had always piloted in battlefield 4 with yaw and roll inverted, so that has still gotta adjust lol
Legend Y.
Same, have 2 years of war thunder under my belt
Hahahahaha, I love this comment...
👍🏻
PROMOTED!
malibu kek. yeah they’re tough
5,99 $
"Yeah, they're 5 Dollars a piece"
Pricing psychology successful
Well radio is lot expensive
I love this whole series Steele... great job ... I got into the hobby a couple months ago so this series didn’t exist but luckily I followed your instructional series without even knowing it. QX7 -> simulator -> brushed whoop -> goggles / charger ... I went to a 3” first (babyhawk R 3”), then a mobula7, now I’ve got some flight time under my belt, and Now im collecting 5” parts
Thanks for this video series! Watching your videos back in 2017-18 inspired me to get into fpv. I purchased all the best equipment and built a great spec quad, for the time, and went out and flew it.....and I was terrible at it. Never tried a sim, never new really where to start and got discouraged quickly and gave up. After watching this series i have decided to try and learn to walk before i run. I appreciate all the info
You should put more stickers on buildings😂
Cold and rainy man. Wettest winter we’ve had in decades
Damn. Whoop stickers indoors...😂
I bet the haters will love that :P
YESSS AGREEED 👏
I jumped straight into a 5” alien with quality parts, a taranis, fat shark dominator HD’s and an icharger. My friend creeped into the hobby with multiple radios, goggles, cheap builds and cheap chargers. At this point we have been flying the same amount of time but he has spent nearly double what I have l and isn’t as good because he switched equipment so much. Sometimes diving right in and going for it is the best option!
5:03 this is a brushed drone so they have brushless motors
Another good thing about the whoop class, at any stage in your doc is you have a lot more opportunities to fly it, if the weather is bad or you don't feel like driving somewhere you can just zoom round your house or your garden, garden being weather dependent
a great initiative by you for guys like us who wants to get into fpv ...looking forward for more such videos on fpv ...cheers
I'm pleased to be surprised that Steele was actually promoting these. I got a mobula7 and had heaps of fun. I was expecting him to be saying don't bother.
Just asked and got a diatone d90 for christmas, glad I went the right way on that, going to get a 5 inch soon.
On a side note, I had bought a flysky fs-i6s for sim, and had a lot of issues with it. Remembering your video, I bought a qx7 and wish I started with that. It has had no flaws, and is way more responsive and tunable. Keep the videos coming! Hope I can catch something like that before I miss it!
I'm so glad you've done this series of videos! Ordered my controller today, I'm going to spend some time with the sim before I consider getting or building anything.
How goes it? Are you flying FPV?
@@AudreysKitchen yes! I just got an eachine lizard and I've been using eachine ev200d goggles. I'm not very good yet but it's crazy how much of a rush it is.
@@countzero5150 awesome! Have a blast with it! I just got my controller ordered.
@@AudreysKitchen it's a rabbit hole for sure. I saw Mr. Steele's freestyle video and thought, "That's the most William Gibson thing I've ever seen, I need it in my life." I'm not confident with building a drone yet but I'll get there!
great series idea this would have saved me some money when i first got started. especially when you do a build video. i suggest people pick a build video and build that exact same quad it will help to fallow along with the same parts
brushed in 2019, I would not recommend. Brushless micros are as cheap and the motors will last 10x more
Elefkara brushless last 10x if you don’t crash. Have you flown a Beebrain lite yet? Don’t kick it if you haven’t tried it. These fly so much better than most whoops 6 months ago
@@daich i was burning motor sets every two days. been flying brushless for months.
I have a UR65, Mobula7, an Beebrain lite. The lite flys just like the UR65. But it gets better flight times. And nano brushless motors have bushings not ball bearings. They wear out after about 10hrs, and are $40 to replace. The brushed motors last 5hrs and are $20. So the cost is the same. Only big difference is turtle mode. But having to get up and flip your quad is how you learn not to crash. Making things easy is ok, but removing the frustration of learning doesn't help.
Ye, Steele gives bad advice time to time, he doesn't look from others perspective and only gives advice on what is best for him. Like the time when he was helping a guy making his quad lighter and took his motor bumpers because they added weight to the quad..
Here is a message for you Steele(don't take it serious): Everyone crashes with their quads, some more then others (even my self).
Some have money to replace their motors every day, some have sponsors( like your self), but most of us/your viewers aren't so fortunate like you.. Direct hit on the pavement, a bumper will make the motor almost indestructible. Without it, you can pretty much sign off the motor( ye some times you can get away with replacements, it's a hassle and aren't cheep either). I'm telling this based on my own experience: in few months i broke/bent three sets of motors (two of the crashes were free falls from no more than 20 ft), since i'm using bumpers i didn't bent one motor. i became way comfortable flying my quad thus drastically improved my flying skills over short period of time.
I'm not saying your intentions aren't good, they just might not be good for the majority..
Peace!
TakeDeadAim they're rated for 6-8hrs I would do that in a day. Insomnia takes its toll. Way oil helped the bushes last longer.
The great thing about the recommended drone over a toy is that it is reparable and upgradable. A toy grade is pretty much done after the first hit.
Thanks heaps Steele!!
My Qx7 arrived today!
I also have my 65s tiny whoop on its way!
Love your videos! your freestyle videos inspired me to FINALLY take to the skies :)
Keep it up man!
Everyone is different. Sure brushed don't last as long but that depends on how much you fly it. Also replacements are dirt cheap and easy to install. Not to mention the New Bee Drone guys are huge contributers to the hobby and deserve our support! And come on, be honest guys,... once you go down this rabbit hole you are buying both a brushed and brush-less, it's just a matter of which you buy first. -Swampdog FPV
I don't want to be "that guy" but the Acro Bee is quite expensive for what it is. EMAX recently released the RTF kit for the Tinyhawk, that comes with the goggles and the radio, all for $180.
Betafpv did the same with the beta65
And yes the acro bee is overprized
It's not always about lowest cost, you gotta have a decent quality product too. Eachine is not quality and will lead to frustration for a beginner.
+Timanator yeah but 100bucks for a brushed Tiny whoop ? really? you cant get quality brushed whoops for 50bucks
+TakeDeadAim no Buddy i was comparing the beta65s lite that comes bnf for 65bucks with newbeedrone
Were you going for the Luigi look? 😂 nailed it!
Before SIMs got so realistic, I bought a newbeedrone acrobee. Its changed my life, now I have two 5"inch Quads. And still I fly the acrobee on rainy days .
I enjoy my Acro bee. It has all of the FPV features of a larger quad and flys very well indeed. I go through brushed motors rather quickly so buy spares, props and a handful of batterys too. My next step is a brushless nano probably a Tiny Hawk but I doubt I will ever stop flying the Acro bee, it's brilliant.
Loving your videos recently. Really enjoying learning more about drones
I just bought a $20 los quad. You can tell it's not exactly modular but if my son or like a friend wants to get into gov it's an awesome los tainer...good first step...thanks for taking some time for us n00b5
Also about brushed whoops, they lack the punch and recoverability of a big quad - brushless leaves more room for error. I might recommend the tinyhawk or mobula7. I feel like the mobula flies a LOT like my bigger stuff just without the inertia and mass (and more propwash)
Jim Reinknecht yep, and now the eachine trashcan is even better, I don’t know why he recommended the brushed ones
Jk231 I’m waiting for my trashcan to make the call on better vs the mobula... the mobula isn’t without its issues (fragile-ish frame) but it takes a beating, and it’s a rocket. If I could just sort out the battery sag, I’d actually prefer it over my 3” stuff
@@thelazerproject it is the durability and all-rounded usability for especially new people coming into the hobby that Steele is getting at. There is a lot that a Tiny whoop can do, some it cannot do, but it teaches you to become a better pilot--it flies well, but you need to for instance avoid propwash bc brushed motors freak out in propwash--something you can apply to when you go into FPV in real life. It also allows you to explore more and fly more things, underneath the couch, through the struts in a stool--things that you don't notice usually, but then in the goggles you soon gain that confidence and awareness to fly them--same thing done on a five inch is like finding a tree split that you can pull a sick knife edge through.
I got a tiny whoop a year ago planning on moving on to a 5inch but I fell in love with micros so much that I am still all about the whoopage! BTW I'd recommend the UR65 or similar for beginners. And you can get micro brushless motors with actual bearings for only a couple bucks more. Love it! Whoop forever!
0:47 Luigi makes a cameo appearance 🤣😍
Man Steel, these brushed motor haters are strong here. I have a BBlite and know of what you speak. Brushless indoor FPV is hard. With all that power comes a need for good control. Something a beginner lacks. You start banging around the house with a 75mm TinyHawk, Mobula7, or even a UR65. Your going to break stuff. 6mm brushed whoops are the best indoor FPV rig hands down. And the Beebrain lite is the best 6mm whoop ever.
Your vids are top-notch!.I always go away with a snippet of knowledge;-)
I been smashing it hard on velocidrone and justcant get the performance from my hubsan...think the bee could be my next step in this new venture.already got my v3 with true d so I'm gagging to use them.
Keep up the good work man
"... you're ending up buying anyway if you're going down this rabbit hole"
My wife is watching beside me and she's already concerned about the money.
I said: "Ahh come on.. it won't be that much"
I think I lied to my wife.. I'm kind of sorry.. :D:D
Sebastian S just think of her shoe and makeup budget... ;)
Really great series! Been looking into drones to add an element to my videos and having decided fpv is the way forward it's really helpful to have this series explaining stuff. Will be getting a controller and getting started on a sim and I've subbed to stay tuned with the series 😁 please keep it up including links to what's in the vid as I'm pretty sure I'll just be getting what you suggest
Loving these videos!! Been following you for quite some time now and always admired your skill, I think I might give it a try now that you explained it so well!
You couldn't have done that intro in 99% of houses in the UK haha
Box room one, narrow doorway, box room 2, narrow doorway, TINY Staircase, narrow doorway, box room 3....
Have to say thank you , thank you , thankyou very watch all your video 1 2 3 4 5 just straight forward start to pro absolutely great answered all my questions and concerns thanks again can wait to start
I went the micro way to start out. Got an inductrix for Christmas and put an aio cam in it. I skipped the simulator and learned to fly acro on the inductrix, got pretty good and eventually upgraded to a babyhawk r 3 inch during the summer because im in canada and wanted to stay below 250g and wasn't ready to build my own quad from scratch. It took me a while to get used to the power of a brushless quad on 4s so i limited my throttle curve on my transmitter to 35% to start out. Its a big jump from being used to flying at 80% throttle just to stay in the air, to being able to launch into the sky at 20%
Flying via monitor isnt too bad either, ive been flying off of a 4.3inch monitor mounted on my transmitter for a year and i find it is a very easy to focus. I just ordered my first pair of box goggles with a removable screen yesterday after trying a guys goggles at an indoor flying event.
Hey dude, i started getting into fpv with this series, first i wanna thank you. I've been trying to get into fpv for years but always felt like it had to be a multiple months/over $1k commitment, which always turned me off. Until you separated that into the steps you did. So far i got a Taranis Q X7 and i've been flying on lift off for 3 days. It's amazing i am starting to feel more confident about it. I've been looking into the drone, unfortunately the drone you have listed here and linked is sold out. I visited a local hobby shop and the guy said he had nothing that would pair with the Taranis and he doubted anyone did since it was and i quote "Trash" i figured it was just the sales guy in him so i ignored it. However it left me in a weird place where i dont feel like i know enough to buy a drone and have it not even pair with my radio. could you point me in the directions of a few drones that would work easily with the Taranis brand. Thank you and keep up the hard work i love the content and it makes me more excited to have my full set.
I'm currently at the same point as u are/were. Did u find an alternative to the acrobee drone which pairs with the qx7?
Search for new bee drone on banggood.
Luis Perez how are you doing right now
Support your local hobby shop means nothing these days, they just want to sell their crappy stuff :D There is so much stuff that you could bind with q x7. And for about 60-70 $, you could buy brushless tiny whoop with a receiver. And you could go even cheaper, if you can solder and watch some videos..for example- th-cam.com/video/7aC2qXhOPXY/w-d-xo.html Have fun, and read some stuff on internet, there is alot of info :))
If you don’t mind spending too much, I am personally using the Emax tinyhawk 2, but I’m still quite new and not quite to Acro mode yet. It’s raining so no training either lol
You have now successfully made me want to purchase a mini quad...
I already have a full size too!
Btw your a great pilot
Buy a prebuilt 3” quad. I’ve crashed mine plenty of times. Only thing I’ve broken is props
@@DudaZachary but building is the fun part :D
F27 FPV I want to get flying master’d first.
Great video man! Thanks for all the help you give! You are the MAN!
What a fun house to fly around.
Great video.
Thanks Me. Steele! Good posts on how to get into fpv.
Great guide matey, i wish guides like this were around when i started!, i had the choice of a 450 kit or nothing!!. Ive been away from quads for a few years due to health problems, but im now getting the itch to fly again!. Time to see if ive got any good batteries left!. All the best to ya all.
Bro your stash is dope ha ha...great videos!
Needed this set of videos waiting on the Qx7 to get shipped today hopefully! Thanks man
Very good information on that mini quad . I've only ripped 5 inch but this was good info. I may need to try one .
I tried the acro bee lite and can say it flies a little heavy with my GoPro attached. 😉
Been following along with this series and it's great! Ordered the Q X7 as soon as Steele recommended...but ordered it from GearBest and it's not even been processed yet despite them taking payment (lesson learned there!) so I'm left flying on Velocidrone with an xbox controller and it just doesn't feel right. Nevermind, I will get in the air this year! Thanks Steele :)
I don’t know how you are on price but don’t always jump to gearworst/Banggood even though the price is low. Ordering from local retailers is a lot better especially in regards to arrival time and helping the fpv community grow.
@@explosivefruits yeah as I say, lesson learned there! Thanks for the tip though. I'll look for a local retailer in the UK. Don't suppose you have any recommendations?
Yeah, gearbest is an absolute dumpster fire. Never ordering from them.
@@KlownFPV Don't rush yourself mate, I have only been flying about 6 months, spent a lifetime in the simulator, I prefer Freerider recharged, they have just added a course builder its great. I only use it as my PC is old and low performance graphics and it runs freerider perfect. On my first genuine flight I was doing split s's and power loops. I still have a long way to go, but the longer you stay with the sim and the more confidence you build the more you will save in the long run. Money that is. Remember crashing in the sim doesn't cost a penny . :) And think about it if your a gamer and comfortable with the games controller maybe you would be better of with the Xlite transmitter. Its Frsky same as the QX7 and it has Hall effect gimbals worlds apart from the analogue ones in the QX7.
Takes time , they have to build the row boat first ! My expe6 is that if you need it in a hurry or dont want to wait then look for local suppliers. The China stores take along time to get stuff to the states. Sometimes paying 5-10 more $ is worth it since the wait will be less. Nevertheless your stuff will come .
Hey Steele, question for you!
I already got a 5'' quad. I also got an Inductrix pro to fly indoors.
I love the 5'' quad and will continue to fly it of course. However, I want to fly in the house too, but my inductrix is very problematic... the VTX is broken after a major crash, and the thing even has problems to liftoff now, so I can't even fly it in los. Even when it takes off, it sometimes start making a weird noise and start to descend pretty rapidly, it's like one of the motors has a seizure. I would have to put money into that thing, but I'm not sure I really want to repair it.
The new bee drone looks nice, but I was thinking of getting a tiny indoors brushless drone. I hate brushed motors. Would you have any recommendation for a brushless, indoors quad? Ideally with prop guards because I don't want to ruin everything in my house whenever I crash lol. Ideally something that runs of 2S batteries as I hate the little 1S's connector with a passion. Plus I need a dedicated 1S charger as my regular lipo charger only does 2s and up...
Second question I would also like building a
My betafpv 75x has definitely helped me fly my 5" rooster better, much reccomended!!
Anonymous Pilot same here, have you messed with the PIDs and rates yet? (On the 75x)
Elias Vicario I havent touched the PID's, ive fiddled the rates to get 1000 degrees per second on pitch n roll, flies epic inside but outside it flys like absolute shite. That was in horizon mode though, next outdoors flight Il try it in acro, but that'll require more fiddling as the rates ive now set feel aweful in acro
Anonymous Pilot thanks, buddy, good luck!
The good old hairport, makes for a soft landing every time. May still destroy your quad and is hazardous to your health. 🤔
Happy holidays bruh!! 👊
Hi Mr Steele! I'd like to buy the acrobee but it's sold out. Could you advise me on another drone easy to flight as acrobee?
Awsome. Just waiting for weather to get better, coz my cottage is small, but still flyable with a whoop. I have 20 m2, wich is very tight, but great for practicing spacial awarenes. Thanks for the lesson. Happy new year, Added to playlist :-)
I have thought of a mini whoop for rainy days in the house lol awesome video always great info
for new people in sport.. qx7 access probably wont bind to frsky recievers without xjt module i have qx7 access model and had to get XJT external module to bind to tinywhoop
Yes Mr Steele You have gave us The Blue Print to beginning FPV thanks alot...….. Hey Dude I want to do 4 sec lap there!
Hi Mr Steele, thanks for your video! I am new to FPV. I am trying to get a mini drone and a goggle, but I don't know if there would be any compatibility issue between a goggle and a drone. Do you know how can I look up whether a goggle would be working for a specific drone?
Mr Steel, are going to do a video of building a proper 5" quad for beginners after learning to fly with the mini. I'm in South Africa.
NICE! Thank you! 3rd week of sim...can't wait to fly a real quad! Will you talk about Betaflight for the setup of the mini drone at one point? Or shall we just try the first flight with the factory settings? Have a great year 2019! BAAM!
I'm sniffing the rabbit hole, about to dive ha ha
Thank you! You are explaining things very well!
Thank you for the how-to FPV videos, but everything sold out lol, Controller, goggle, AcroBee Kit! any other links to the stuff you recommended?
TinyHawk!!
Sorry bro , love ya and all . But you look like Luigi or Mario in that hat , cant decide ! Lol.
Exactly
Not to mention that it appears he lives with his parents or grandparents
Just buy the eachine e013 when starting out. It is a great micro fpv drone that comes with goggles and it's less than $70 for the whole package on banggood
Hey Mr. STEEL. I already have a flysky transmitter and wondering if i can use it with the acro bee? Or maybe there is another good mini fpv drone can work with flysky
Acro bee typically only works with Frsky, crossfire, and spectrum. You can get a multi protocol module and run that in the back of your radio and probably get it link on one of the manufactured frequencies I listed above. Hope this helps
MIssed this outro so much!
Regarding the hair. It's not the drone flying into hair. It's hair flying into the drone. If you turtle it a lot which is something you will do when you are new and flying indoors, hair and carpet threads gets sucked into the props and winds themselves around the shafts. I had to pull the props off to remove hair and carpet threads after almost every battery change during the first couple of days. If all 4 props are not spinning equally at idle after arming then you probably have hair or carpet threads stuck between the prop and the motor. It doesn't take much to make it unflyable. Also if flight times are low one or more props are most likely getting hung up.
Its perfect that you are posting these how to fpv video series when i just started this hobby about 2 months ago. btw u look like Luigi somehow :P
@5:08 "This is a brushed quad so it has brushless motors," I'm confused here. Wouldn't a brushed quad mean brushed motors?
Yes that drone is brushed motor drone
yeah i was like 'wat' too
Omg the first video of that whoop is crazy fast!
Thanks for this serie. greetings from germany
Hey steele, im gonna follow theese vids and get a taranis and all that fun stuff because the other radios that people have reviewed for budget prices just dont seem to cut it. BUT would you suggest the bee over the mobula7?
for me i started on a 5 inch after simming 40 hours ,, but i started with throthle scale to 50 % and gradually going up to 100 as i was getting more control of the quad :)
Hey, would an emax tinyhawk rtf be as good as this or would it be better to get this instead, I have drone experience, cheap line of sight drones and aerial photography drones from dji, so I know how to fly, just learning acro though so no experience there, I use drl sim, I have a budget of up to around $350 NZD, so what would you recommend I get?
I fly a phantom drone anyway but when buying this. Should I have been on a simulator already.
Bee Brain Lite rocks. They scream around the house.
Total fpv noob question, but: is that static/flickering in the image in the intro normal in fpv drones? Like: do you see that when you have goggles on?
Totally normal
So am new to FPV i have atm Taranis Qx7 and Fat shark telep v3 with AcroBee Kit with BeeBrain Lite (FrSky) my only question is how can i get a video feed to my googles when i fly my tiny whoop is there something am messing and if so could u guys let me know thx
Hi Steele! Are your rates on the Acrobee the same as in the simulator? Keep up the good work! I'm referring buddy's of me to these videos.
Is that a ukulele quad in the background Steele? That would be cool to see fly if it is, frame might put a lot of noise into the system tho haha
i started like a year ago today. and i started with a small brushed quad!
The easy part is buying the thing. Is there not a way to do a video on binding the thing to the Frsky?????
I got into this hobby by buying an x9d and some cheap ass box googles and all the parts i needed for a 5”. Then I put 20 hours into liftoff. as soon as I could fly without instacrashing in the sim, I went down to the local park and it went something like this: Shit shit shit shit shit faaaark shit shit shit (for 5 minutes) and then... landed it! Next thing was decent goggles. built 2 more quads, then a whoop for rainy days. Haven’t looked back. Put dozens more hours on the sim and hundreds of hours at the park. Better than watching the paint peel, thats for sure.
Good day sir , I know this vid is a bit outdated am new to fpv would you still recommend this little quad for a.newbee ?
Thanks .
Great stuff, I went for the ldarc gt75, purely because it's reputed to be built like a tank, and cost $108 with frsky receiver. Cant wait for it to arrive. Just hoping it is what they say it is :)
i was waiting for this video. I actually thought you dropped the idea of how to fpv.
"and this is brushed quad, so there are tiny brushless motors here" - bruh xD
What flight time do you average with a mini? Im new to the fpv side of flying and these mini whoop stlye quads are great for me to practice. I will be looking for something with acro also. Any information would be much appreciated
Tinyhawk S = a great starting drone kit!
If you could prepost 5 inch quad parts list , source 2 build would be cool , and good bargain priced parts " Mr steele bargain 5 inch build !! Just an idea to think about , thank you for all of your help!!
?? What do you think about jumper x12 plus radios , module fit x7 and are multi compatible ??
check out the tinyhawk freestyle 2, its a grate first drone, Ide recommend getting a tinywhoop as well first tho. but the freestyle 2 is the best budget for a real outside drone that you can do some fun freestyle tricks with. also I got the betafpv lite controller 2, best cheat first radio, runs d8 and d16, works with the freestyle, so so $160 plus shipping to get flying, oh yeah and you need goggles and maybe some antennas for them. $60-$200 for some budget goggle.
Grate vid, just sharing some of my experiences of getting in to the hobby in 2020
The hair comment made me think of the Jessie Perkins video where they were peeling props out of the girls hair. ... Anyway.
I think the advice is good. You could get a cheaper whoop, but I have found the flight experience with them to be very frustrating. Get a good whoop like Steele is recommending. The Beta FPV whoops and Alien whoops are excellent.
Hi just wondering Are you Luigi flying brother. Great content.
Maybe you can use a smartphone video receiver for your fpv goggle/screen video. They are really cheap
Yea I have (4) builts 5” quads, and i need to get 1 of these for indoor winter flying, would you have a recommendation for a brushless version? Maybe in a 2s?
Great for the house for sure
Do you think I should go for the emax tiny hawk s or the new bee
What would you say about building a 3" brushless quad for trainings? Josef Prusa made a cool video about it and I think I'm gonna build it.
P. S. Thank you for the such amazing videos)
You really remind me of Luigi from Mario in this thumb nail. Liking the fairly lights my man 👻
Great I like the way u explain I like ur suggestions
I'm starting out. I'm great at soldering though. Should I build Uav futures 99 dollar build instead
I just want to start the adventure with drones, hence my question, will the Airbot TD215 be suitable for the beginning? Maybe there are some other better alternatives in this budget?
At the moment I bought FRSKY q x7 and train on a simulator.
I am currently looking for goggles and a drone.
My budget:
+/- 250 $ - drone
+/- 250 $ - goggles
I will be grateful for any suggestions. :)
