Don't be afraid to shop used for Goggles too. People are selling off their analog stuff after switching to dji. I picked up Some fatshark HD2s with a tbs Fusion moudule and antenas for $300 USD. It's worked out great for me :)
Thank you for all of your Videos!! They are very informative, entertaining and just fun to watch! I am into FPV since 2016 and you are since then my #1 TH-camr. I can't imagine this hobby without you! Honestly! 😊🔥🤙🏽
Man I really wish this video was out when I started FPV - I blew so much money on stuff I didn't need and this video really tells what you exactly what to get. So helpful! If you are starting out in FPV this is a great video to watch!
Most excellent video Stew. I'm a few months into my FPV journey and most of the equipment you suggested I have already bought because of your advice and I haven't regretted any of it. Thank you for looking out for us noobs and keep up the good work. My suggestion for other peeps that watch his videos, be a UAVfutures patron like I have for only $2 a month. It's not much money but it's a way to say thanks and also for UAVfutures team to keep making enjoyable videos for us to watch.
After much much much research here is my first build: TBS Source One Frame = $27 2x Props sets Gemfan 51499 = $6 4x EMAX Eco 2207 (2400kv) = $48 Crossfire Nano RX = $35 Tango 2 Crossfire Radio =$160 Diatone Mamba Stack F722 (FC and ESC) = $80 3x CNHL 1500mah Black edition 4S Lipo = $60 Caddx Vista Digital (DJI ) VTX + Camera = $150 DJI FPV digital goggles = $530 Charger Toolkit RC M6 = $40 Sandisk extreme 128gb micro SD card = $24 Misc build stuff (3D printed frame protectors, 3D arial mounts and some nuts and bolts + 2 x battery straps and cable ties and a soldering iron and solder = $30 Total = $1190 (USD) You will not be disappointed with this setup. It is Strong / super resilient, fast and future proof! So save up another $390 IMHO
Couldnt agree more. I personally like my dji tx too, mostly becuase it just makes things sooooo much easier for me. However, there is no doubt that having crossfire is a plus. The biggest turn off and pain in the ass in this hobby is 100 percent hands down shitty analog video components. Going to digital was far and away the single best decision ive yet to make in this hobby.
good setup bro mamba stack is good and the source 1 frame is the best value for money crossfire is awesome and those motors are cheap because you will problybreak them lol
I remember looking at fpv two years ago and there was no digital video and After having forgotten about this for awhile I’m probably gonna drop a lot of money in a dji kit, super hyped a big company decided to branch into fpv, a lot of the tech seems to be outdated hopefully they can give the hobby a face lift
These are some really good recommendations for starting out. I’d also recommend buying the radio and a sim to get used to flying as this will save lots of expensive crashes when first learning to fly.
If you have bad eyesight like I do, I recommend saving up the extra cash to start straight away with the DJI digital system. I just started using it last week, and it's the best purchase I've ever made since starting this hobby 3 years ago. I've never enjoyed flying as much as I do now. I didn't want to like it as much as I do, but it is what it is. Great suggestions here Stew, thank you.
Excellent content Stew! I live FPV through your content! My wife won’t let me spend any amount of cash on getting started in this hobby. Family is to big to spare extra cash. So the next best thing is watching your videos. Thank you for putting out great videos!
I just did this. Started from scratch. Waited till I could afford DJI goggles and decided on the crossfire Tango 2 radio. 150% I am so thankful I did not waste my time with anything else. Every day I am amazed with the quality and feel of the DJI goggles and Tango 2 radio. If your starting from scratch, it’s a hard decision to upgrade to DJI and crossfire later. So invest a little more now and buy once. Also portability of a small case with a tango 2 is a major thing! Also, forget a GoPro or other camera for now. Use the DJI air unit or Caddx goggle video recording until you improve a lot. At that point save up for a GoPro hero 8 black. I have the GoPro already. But 90% of the time, I know that my “learning” video is simply not worth running the gopro. Especially with damage risk. So I watch the amazing caddx / DJI goggle footage very happily while I am learning to fly smoothly. It’s more than good enough. My 2c
I am an FAA licensed drone pilot and I HAVE just lost everything in a small house fire, watching now, Just FYI your 2018 $99 base build parts price is now about $141 and over $200 for the Pro, thanks for the parts list! saved me alot of work.
Goo-day Stu ..... I have been following you since approximately 2015 or so . This video is timed perfectly . Two of my buddies want to get into FPV . One I gave 2 quads a couple of years ago . The other is just looking into the hobby . I will send each a copy of your video . Thanks for all you have done for the hobby ....
Great breakdown, covered all the bases! Personally after a year in the hobby, I opted for DJI goggles. Out of the price range for $800, but digital is most definitely the future. Analog I think the Skyzone is right no question, but without other pilots in my area, the lost social aspect is moot, and the option to go analog is available. The only tidbit I'd add is don't fly with a GoPro to start! Excess weight, your DVR and the joy of free flight is just as good to start. Speaking of starting, and budget I think software like LiftOff is a must. You can get stick time early while waiting for the non controller buys to come in, especially if you wait for sales or quality buys, so when you actually fly, you don't break on the first pack but your last one, where you'll then have a trainer to practice as your new arms come in!
What a great video! I was really uncertain on what to buy but then this video popped up, I call that perfect timing! But I cannot decide between the Nazgul and the Xilo 5" from Joshua tho..
I have literally spent the past 8 weeks watching hundreds of TH-cam videos learning about FPV drones. I went with a Tango 2 pro, and DJI digital goggles. I ended up spending just over $1500 to get started. My first frame comes on Monday and then I should finally be able to build my first drone. I didn't buy a gopro or mount yet. After some practice I will buy one and post some videos of me crashing the drone.
Radiomaster TX16S for sure! Bang for Buck feature packed its Phenomenal! And looks Great too! LOve Love LOVE It! And it matches my FatShark T2 Goggles 🤘😎
After lot and lot of research, I ordered almost exactly what you showed here. Even the antennas, the charger,... That's insane since I did not see your video I would have saved a lot of time by just watching this video and ordering everything 😂
Just subbed to your channel I recently just got a bugs 3 drone for fun but I started watching your content. I think soon im going to want to build a drone.
Great video, when I started I didn't save on the transmitter and goggles. I really recommend to save a bit more and buy the Skyzone O3O. They are the best I think.
Got my son yesterday his first drone he broke it in 10 minutes. Been on your channel for a while, the electrical connections are horrific but we are going to follow this to the T.
Definitely worth spending the money on skyzone goggles. I’m using 030 now. Tyranis qx7s has lasted from the start. I’d start with a 3” and get used to flying first on a simulator!!!
I'm exactly at this point, what a great video and at the exact perfect moment! I just got my TBS tango 2 and doing tutorials on the sim at the moment. I went straight to the Tango 2 because of the size and the protocol won't be a problem for me since I'm not planning to own a lot of quads, one or two and I get the great range as a plus. I'm doing my reasearch on the goggles and it seems these are the way to go for my price point.
You probably won't make a video about this but I would really love it if you could make a video explaining how to connect all the components in this video together. A huge fan and already subscribed!
Here in Canada. We are worried about staying under 250g. I went with the Diatone GT 349 with the tbs unify 800mW. Added the runcam hybrid for HD recording
Hi Stew Great video and choice of components to start with, I could only think about one thing everyone who is going to start into this Hobby ,and that would be a simulator to help someone to learn with. Thanks again for the video and information on how to get into the Hobby.
@@johncarold it's a sim code on steam. Sorry I snagged yours because someone snagged mine. Look in the comments below and maybe still find an active one. People are quick to snag them up.
Excellent recommendations. But I would go with 6S quad and lipos (1100mAh CNHL Black Series). They may be a little more expensive so you could pick 5 lipos instead of 6 for the 800 dollar budget but 6S is a) more fun and b) more future proof. Gadgets I regret buying: Cheap frames with aluminium parts that bend and cannot be bent back and the iSDT lipo discharger. Gadgets I absolutely love: TS100, AOK Cellmeter 8 with 150W discharging bulbs, Antennenfreund double quad goggle antenna, Vifly Finder 2, Ummagrip, Beitian BN220T GPS on all 5" quads.
I don't want to be that guy that says "YoU HaVe To BuiLd yOuR FirSt QuAd" but it definitely makes you feel alot better knowing that if something breaks, you can fix it. That being said I bought a Nagul back in November and have flown 200+ packs thru it with zero problems (other than having a receiver die)
Cool video I would recommend if starting from scratch no experience access to sim with radio of choice and a micro such as tiny hawk 2 as this will save money and frustration cheers peace
I did the 99 dollar drone build with the eachine ev100 goggles and I'm still waiting for the parts, im very excited to put it together, and add a gopro so i can fly around and get some cool footage .
I’m very new to fpv and I started with sky zone goggles. I just got a look at dji goggles and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see the analog image in the same way again. I’m planning to add an analog module to dji goggles with the bdi adapter. Busts this guys budget but I think will be best of both worlds with minimal gear to haul around.
lol i mentioned that tmotor frame to you in one of your streams a few months ago.. you didn't seem to think much of it at the time hehe, the selling point for me was the centre top plate being seperate .. great idea i thought
This video is exactly what ive been looking for so thank you. Absolute beginner here and still have trouble sometimes keeping up with the vernacular. I noticed a lot of people talking about Simming first to see what style of quad to purchase. How do you go about doing that? I know nothing lol
I started just one month ago and bought a emax freestyle 2 and a betafPVlite radio. Sadly I’ve already gone through 2 betafpv light radios because of yaw gimbal problems. I’m going to look into the race master!
I would suggest starting with the radio + Velocidrone simulator. Once you know how to move the sticks, it's time to fly the real thing. You'll need a lot less spare parts that way.
I would also recommend getting a 5000 mah, 6s battery to do some field charging. They go on sale from hobby king some times, I got mine for 35 usd. It turns my 4, 4s packs into 12 packs!
Great video, great staff for beginners. (Y) While I have question what would be the best 3 inch drone instead to start with 5 inch? And ofcourse appropriate batteries for 3 inch drone. Would you recommend HGLRC XJB 145 and TATTU 850mAh 14.8V 4S, or anything else. Thank you. (Y)
I've put in a order for the TX16S the other day actually. I tried an xbox controller with velocidrone but I'm not a console gamer so I'm terrible with a controller. My thinking was the same as yours here too regarding getting other RC vehicles so I could justify the price. 140 euro for me with Hall gimbles
Then buy solder, flux, more props, more batteries, a gopro, a bettery TX, then you get into HD so you spend more on DJI air units and goggles, then you sell your dog for the DJI TX, then you start turning tricks for spare parts. But hell yeah it's great! :-D lol
Wish I heard about this when I was in Australia. Bangood does not ship to Nz and we have 1 shop that will ship a drone and control for over $600 compare to other countries.
Hey all, I have been flying DJI photo drones in the past 6 years. I just came across your great video on FPV drone from under $300 2019. If I was looking to mix and match from that one to this one, could I still use the TX16S and the sky zones with the Nazgul5 then, at a later date add to 5-in drone? I am a good flyer, for more along the lines of driving Miss Daisy as opposed to Mario andretti. Thanks for the great content looking forward to viewing more
Same here, i started with the original Wizzard X220...and the Flysky fs-i6x absolutely amazing for the price, and nothing on the planet can touch it for its price. I still use it aswell
Newbie here.. Still waiting on my gear to arrive in the next couple of days. Here's the kit I went with wanting to fly indoor and have some backyard fun while staying well under 250g in Canada. This kit came in under $800 including purchasing 6-8 batteries for each drone. BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 Eachine Goggles Two Tinyhawk Freestyle 2 Mobula 6 HD I want to wait and see if I should pick up a Insta360 Go to mount on the Tinyhawk. Also waiting on an EMAX Interceptor to play around with. Recently got the RC bug again after trading my HPI SAVAGE XL Nitro for a newer brushless setup. My daughter seems to be really into it now that she's at age 7. Hoping that we can eventually go out flying together... Beats playing with Barbies.
Been flying fpv five years, heli's for 18. My go to's right now, QAV 210 4mm clone 2506 racestars 35A tattoo 4 in1 alien fc akk ultimate 1000mw. My other, tyro 79 emax 1507 hak 20A 4 in 1 stock f4 fc akk 600mw. Better equipment is always worth it. No flip of death, lost signals or inconsistant behavior. I use an old vr pro box goggles because budget at first but found them to have great reception, comfort and a DVR so they work for me. Transmitter/receiver is a modded flysky i6 running 10 channel firmware and the fly14+ because it's small and light with rssi out and decent reception. That 16s is on the list as the next upgrade tho. So far nothing but good things about it. Curious about it's short comings.
Two months into fpv and over 1k invested I almost scrapped the whole idea because of an FrSky Q x7 Access radio with R9M module. What a nightmare. Slightly amusing this video existed and never came up in my feed after the countless hours spent researching Frsky’s binding process and firmware updates. “All you need is a Radiomaster, it will bind to anything!” FrSky radio is on its way back and now looking forward to my new Radiomaster tx16s w/crossfire module. Luckily I have a couple of whoops bound to beta flight controllers to keep me flying. Where were you when I started this adventure 🥺

4x EMAX Eco 2207 (2400kv) = $48
Crossfire Nano RX = $35

This video is exactly what ive been looking for so thank you. Absolute beginner here and still have trouble sometimes keeping up with the vernacular. I noticed a lot of people talking about Simming first to see what style of quad to purchase. How do you go about doing that? I know nothing lol
Tnx Stu...
I'm still flying the $99 V2, with since upgraded esc and fc. Now rocking an aikon ak32, and a cl racing f4s. Dys samguks still doing fine 😁
I started just one month ago and bought a emax freestyle 2 and a betafPVlite radio. Sadly I’ve already gone through 2 betafpv light radios because of yaw gimbal problems. I’m going to look into the race master!
Loved this. Is there any way you would do the same thing with a slightly higher budget for a digital version?
Amazing video stew, I would love to buy the Skyzone but it’s still so expensive ;)
id say spend the money now because youll most likely buy another pair of goggles down the line.
I would suggest starting with the radio + Velocidrone simulator. Once you know how to move the sticks, it's time to fly the real thing. You'll need a lot less spare parts that way.
i agree with you..... the radio master is the best you can get for this price
I would also recommend getting a 5000 mah, 6s battery to do some field charging. They go on sale from hobby king some times, I got mine for 35 usd. It turns my 4, 4s packs into 12 packs!
Great video, great staff for beginners. (Y) While I have question what would be the best 3 inch drone instead to start with 5 inch? And ofcourse appropriate batteries for 3 inch drone. Would you recommend HGLRC XJB 145 and TATTU 850mAh 14.8V 4S, or anything else. Thank you. (Y)
I've put in a order for the TX16S the other day actually. I tried an xbox controller with velocidrone but I'm not a console gamer so I'm terrible with a controller. My thinking was the same as yours here too regarding getting other RC vehicles so I could justify the price. 140 euro for me with Hall gimbles
Then buy solder, flux, more props, more batteries, a gopro, a bettery TX, then you get into HD so you spend more on DJI air units and goggles, then you sell your dog for the DJI TX, then you start turning tricks for spare parts. But hell yeah it's great! :-D lol
Personal preference, but I would have recommended the DJI HD unit. Next level stuff.
Wish I heard about this when I was in Australia.
Bangood does not ship to Nz and we have 1 shop that will ship a drone and control for over $600 compare to other countries.
Hey all, I have been flying DJI photo drones in the past 6 years. I just came across your great video on FPV drone from under $300 2019. If I was looking to mix and match from that one to this one, could I still use the TX16S and the sky zones with the Nazgul5 then, at a later date add to 5-in drone? I am a good flyer, for more along the lines of driving Miss Daisy as opposed to Mario andretti. Thanks for the great content looking forward to viewing more
Awesome video, wondering if you could do a 2022 version?
It was uavfututers that got me started 4 years ago. Its amazing how much better & cheaper everything is since then.
Same here, i started with the original Wizzard X220...and the Flysky fs-i6x absolutely amazing for the price, and nothing on the planet can touch it for its price. I still use it aswell
Perfect stu 👍👌
Newbie here.. Still waiting on my gear to arrive in the next couple of days. Here's the kit I went with wanting to fly indoor and have some backyard fun while staying well under 250g in Canada. This kit came in under $800 including purchasing 6-8 batteries for each drone.
BetaFPV Lite Radio 2
Eachine Goggles Two
Tinyhawk Freestyle 2
Mobula 6 HD
I want to wait and see if I should pick up a Insta360 Go to mount on the Tinyhawk. Also waiting on an EMAX Interceptor to play around with. Recently got the RC bug again after trading my HPI SAVAGE XL Nitro for a newer brushless setup. My daughter seems to be really into it now that she's at age 7. Hoping that we can eventually go out flying together... Beats playing with Barbies.
Been flying fpv five years, heli's for 18. My go to's right now, QAV 210 4mm clone 2506 racestars 35A tattoo 4 in1 alien fc akk ultimate 1000mw. My other, tyro 79 emax 1507 hak 20A 4 in 1 stock f4 fc akk 600mw.
Better equipment is always worth it. No flip of death, lost signals or inconsistant behavior. I use an old vr pro box goggles because budget at first but found them to have great reception, comfort and a DVR so they work for me. Transmitter/receiver is a modded flysky i6 running 10 channel firmware and the fly14+ because it's small and light with rssi out and decent reception. That 16s is on the list as the next upgrade tho. So far nothing but good things about it. Curious about it's short comings.
Considering I had a fly off yesterday, I'd recommend spending the most on friggn components
Two months into fpv and over 1k invested I almost scrapped the whole idea because of an FrSky Q x7 Access radio with R9M module. What a nightmare. Slightly amusing this video existed and never came up in my feed after the countless hours spent researching Frsky’s binding process and firmware updates. “All you need is a Radiomaster, it will bind to anything!” FrSky radio is on its way back and now looking forward to my new Radiomaster tx16s w/crossfire module. Luckily I have a couple of whoops bound to beta flight controllers to keep me flying. Where were you when I started this adventure 🥺
Hi Stu..hope you are doing well!
Can you please show a link to your vid about Tuning 7" Quads..think it was called or referred to as Big Copter..
Have great info there..
Thanks bud and keep em coming.👍
