man i love this tutorial. this is a great theory and execution. the yaw one was def my fav and gives me many more ideas of cool new tricks to think of trying to master. you are an amazing pilot i can tell if your this complex into trick thought youve got to have some skills. so keep up the good work i hope the veiws come my friend cause your content is great!!
How about some drone choreography in the trick series. What moves work well together. I mean power flip to split s to inverted yaw spin to juicy flip...
Hey Tim, I'm 6 months into my FPV flying and wanted to share some perspective and suggest a ATT topic. Most of us noobs can appreciate good quality FPV video (i.e. drib, skitzo, johnny) but we can't always tell what exactly makes their videos so much better. It would be helpful to lay down some fundamentals for flying, setup, and location to improve our filming. Here is my brain dump of suggested topics for improving video. Hopefully this is useful in your search for the next ATT topic. Cheers! Flying fundamentals: - steady, longer lines (straight lines or curved?) - avoiding stops and maintaining flow - flying low and close to stuff - looking further ahead - skating or bouncing back and forth (why?) - flying to avoid propwash (how?) - timing momentum, velocity, and rotation (i.e. so you rotate at apex of turns over objects) - not overdoing the tricks when filming - intentional coordination (combining yaw and roll for good filming) - not losing the horizon or focus on object - rates for smooth flying (I lowered mine to work on getting smooth, and gradually increased as I need the speed) - tradeoff with rates (loss of resolution with higher rates but ability to get around faster and lose less altitude) Quad and Camera Setup: - minimize jello (camera mounting and props) - selecting appropriate camera angle - ideal weight for drone (taking into account power and disk area) - decent tune (maybe not perfect, but what's good enough?) - camera and quad pairing hero session vs ? (should we consider 6 inch to carry the new gopros) - camera settings and post production (color grading, codecs for youtube, etc.) - editing and music resources Location Selection (what to look for in a good spot?): - public safety and permission (where would you fly a 2" but not a 5" or 6"?) - where to fly (and not to fly) when just starting out? - easy retrieval - minimize crash damage - interesting features - scraggle free lines - how to scout and identify potential spots - how to fly with friends and share the 5.8 band (channel selection and power settings) - timing (i.e. business parks on weekends, parks when kids are in school) - lighting (golden hour, am and pm?)
Tim, great video as always! How about a video on blind moves? There are a few tutorials on Matty style tricks but I think your style of breakdown and presentation could be a great combo with this topic. Specifically I'm referring to anytime you end up backwards into or out of a move or see only sky and rely on timing. Could be something worth presenting. Best of luck with the series and don't forget to enjoy your summer vacation!
I think it all comes down to personal preference. I've found that lighter quads can corner and accelerate much faster than heavier quads, but heavier quads carry their speed better when floating at 0% throttle. In addition, more weight can make the quad feel less twitchy for precise maneuvers and proximity flying.
@@TimmyRC i like lighter quads honestly for freestyle. Seems easier to fly. But apparently its the otherway. Was thinking of using tbs sorce one frame and stuff my hawk5 parts in there.
This is a cool concept, subbed =] I was hoping you'd be going over throwing yourself into flying in reverse, and then moves based around that dynamic. Could be a fun one to explore.
@@TimmyRC So, now I'm sure that I was right, when decide to go away from my insanely big expo(50%!) few days ago. I realize that I really can't do fast freestyle maneuvers with such big expo, it's fits more for cinematic style of flying, but not for aggressive freestyle. Thank you for answer!
I find 6 inch to be quieter. I think this is because there is a greater propeller disk area to create thrust. 6 inch definitely has a lower pitched and less piercing tone than 5 inch.
I will give this a go, I find it difficult to break these moves down even when its a simple trick? not sure why, but I have been experimenting with flat yawing spins in an out of moves and swooping, trying to slow rolls and flips down so they are more graceful?I find this easier on a 6" compared to a 5". Off topic, but how many mbs are your 2.7k video files rendered to for upload to TH-cam?I have experimented and find it difficult get the same consistent quality?
Most of my recent videos were uploaded at 70 Mbps or higher. More recently I have been upsampling to 4K and rendering at 80 to 100 Mbps with 2-pass VBR (variable bit rate) to combat TH-cam's compression.
Thanks for the reply, I have spent a lot of time trying different combinations to upload and just not getting comparable results?I don't use Premier, I have Corel video studio 2018 and GoPro studio, I have a session 5 and I have shot in protune and auto output to 2.7k 25fps same as source and tried from 10mbs to 50mbs and found 20mbs to be the best, but i still can seems blocky? also, realised using Chrome gives the best results quality for watching youtube videos? I have reasonable internet speed and I can only get the best results watching in 1440 HD, very frustrating....
20 Mbps uploaded video combined with TH-cam's compression definitely won't yield ideal video. Even with greater than 70 Mbps you can still see some compression in TH-cam. TH-cam's built in compression is why I upsample to 4K.
Thanks I will try this, it could also be that I'm not using Premier? ,but in saying that when I watch my rendered videos either from GoPro Studio or Corel even at 1080 the quality is fine, I know its TH-cams compression that's messing up the quality, its just finding the correct combination of settings that work with the video editing tools I have.I will keep trying, but what nobody seems to mention in videos on this subject is how much of a difference the quality is between different browsers? give it a try.(Microsoft Edge vs Chrome).
Thanks man! First person I understood explaining rewinds. Subbed!
Thanks!

Flying fundamentals:
- steady, longer lines (straight lines or curved?)
- avoiding stops and maintaining flow
- flying low and close to stuff
- looking further ahead
- skating or bouncing back and forth (why?)
- flying to avoid propwash (how?)
- timing momentum, velocity, and rotation (i.e. so you rotate at apex of turns over objects)
- not overdoing the tricks when filming
- intentional coordination (combining yaw and roll for good filming)
- not losing the horizon or focus on object
- rates for smooth flying (I lowered mine to work on getting smooth, and gradually increased as I need the speed)
- tradeoff with rates (loss of resolution with higher rates but ability to get around faster and lose less altitude)
Quad and Camera Setup:
- minimize jello (camera mounting and props)
- selecting appropriate camera angle
- ideal weight for drone (taking into account power and disk area)
- decent tune (maybe not perfect, but what's good enough?)
- camera and quad pairing hero session vs ? (should we consider 6 inch to carry the new gopros)
- camera settings and post production (color grading, codecs for youtube, etc.)
- editing and music resources
Location Selection (what to look for in a good spot?):
- public safety and permission (where would you fly a 2" but not a 5" or 6"?)
- where to fly (and not to fly) when just starting out?
- easy retrieval
- minimize crash damage
- interesting features
- scraggle free lines
- how to scout and identify potential spots
- how to fly with friends and share the 5.8 band (channel selection and power settings)
- timing (i.e. business parks on weekends, parks when kids are in school)
- lighting (golden hour, am and pm?)
Thanks for all the ideas! I will definitely be going over many of these in either Advanced Trick Theory or in standalone videos.

Thanks! I'll add it to my list of tricks to cover in this series.
Dear timmy' thx for the basic info. I need to try this now. Watchi g ur video to get an Idea abt rewind. I will upload video after practice. Cheers.
Thanks!
Top stuff! This info was so helpful
Thanks!
Simple and helpful video dude 🦾🤟🏽
Thanks!
Im curious, is it easier to freestyle with a freestyle frame instead of a race frame? Needs weight yes?
I think it all comes down to personal preference. I've found that lighter quads can corner and accelerate much faster than heavier quads, but heavier quads carry their speed better when floating at 0% throttle. In addition, more weight can make the quad feel less twitchy for precise maneuvers and proximity flying.

Thanks! I am planning to make an episode about backwards flying at some point.
what your throttle expo?(for this kind of tricks?)
My throttle curve is linear (so 0 expo).

This drone seems to be really quiet compared to a 5 inch 3 blade. Is that really the case?
I find 6 inch to be quieter. I think this is because there is a greater propeller disk area to create thrust. 6 inch definitely has a lower pitched and less piercing tone than 5 inch.
really good explanation! Thank you!

Rewinds!!! 🔥
Excellent nice video thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Took your advice from your Q&A vid and played the video back at slow speed. It really helps but it sounds like youve had too many 🍺 🍺 beers lol.
Thanks for the tips. Good vid.
Thanks!
🤙
👍 love it
Thanks!
1st?
