The actual secret is practice. It's always practice. You can do precise powerloops at lower uptilt too, it just takes more practice and "feel" for where the quad is vs. visually seeing where you are. But I did think this little tip was worth sharing.
For low camera powerloops having enough weight to have some momentum when you flick it is key and then the rest is learning the muscle memory of how your quad reacts based off your input. Keeping your quad consistent will help with this so it always reacts the same
Im fully with you on this one. This is actuallt how i learned my powerloops in my short time in fpv.. i gues to each their own? I also had the tip to first try a sideways roll over the object you want to powerloop which gives you some throttle memory for the blind powerloop.
Higher uptilt definitely makes them easier if you like to use throttle throughout the whole loop. Lower cam angle you will be using more momentum on the top half of the loop. Good video
Very gooooood stuff! No doubt you are full of knowledge! I do miss the days seeing you go rip some packs with the boyz putting up just a rip video. Ladrib also.You know the stuff that truly makes us happy 💯🤜 Thanks for the learning curve here!
I always found power loops and Matty flips super easy with my 50 degree uptilt, like really easy, like almost easier that rolls and flips. Now I know why 😂
Was gonna say the same. Flying backward is not only easier with a lower camera angle, but you're not going as fast, so it's easier to control.. I like 30°, but I like to do a lot of inverted stuff, and I find it easier to get a horizon lock...(or I'm just used to it)
cricket only sets it at 0 for specifically backwards flying packs. Of course more uptilt allows you to see around the corner better, certain tricks are way more doable with more or less camera angle. Matty flips are nice at over 50 degrees.
I set my camera angle so that the horizon is at the bottom of my view when my quad is flat. It gives me enough uptilt but I can still just barely see the ground when I'm cruising backwards and low to the ground.
yoooo i really need to make some practice gates like this i usually run 30 degrees tilt ,i found it makes going through gaps easier by far but your quad deffinitly gets moving way faster. great flying JB
I just bought your drone from getfpv. I flew it out too far and lost it. I’m not sure if it lost signal, but if it did do the motors cut off or does it keep flying in that direction?
Awesome to see you stepping your freestyle game up. Seems like last year was the year of gear and this year is starting to look like the year everyone is pushing their skill. Excited for our little Hobby
Enjoying all of your videos. I’m trying to get back into flying after selling all of my gear and quads. I’m curious as to how much land you have where you fly? I’m currently on 2.5 acres and it looks comparable in size but that could be the camera adding 10 lbs as they say. Lol
I should clarify. Don't depend on the horizon bars if you can help it. Just use them to find a frame of reference for entering level flight. Readjust your "level" horizon that way. You'll adjust much quicker.
I fly 45-50 degree uptilt and feel that higher doesn't "make" you go faster, it's just adjusting to the new lower horizon...you tend to go faster yes because level isn't what it was before, its like sitting in a recliner, just lean back.. hovering and doing slow paced proximity stuff with higher uptilt is still fairly easy once you've gotten used to the new horizon. nice work by the way 👍 -toad (the guy with the challenger from rampage)- video on youtube titled "I made bardwell squeal" 😀
Wearing shorts in January..?... Honestly, it shouldn't be allowed..I mean we are grounded here for at least another 2 months....Nice moves though Joshy Boy....lol ..😀😀😀😏😏🇬🇧
This is fair, but as your pinned comment says the actual secret is practice. Changing your camera angle will never help if that is all you do. It will probably make you worse as you will start chasing your tail and over complicating things. You need repetition at the same camera angle to create the muscle memory, which is ultimately what creates good flying. Not what you can or can't see.
@@JoshuaBardwell ahahha yes of course! but if you do many tricks and combos without landing and changing your camera angle, you will also do things that are easier with a lower camera angle which then also have a blindspot. There will always be a blindspot somewhere, so muscle memory at one consistent camera angle is the only way to compensate for that i think. I really enjoy this type of content from you by the way! :)
I need to move! been simulator only for the last 2 months or more.. highs in the 30's at most and way too much snow to risk it. Another great video JB!
JB, please do a comparison video on the new DJI update that brings 10 bit color, 30fps mode, and improved low light handling, etc. to the DJI digital FPV system. Please be sure to mention that some big huge company is listening to it's customers, besides little snowy HDZero and Carl. Ooooooo! All those DJI HATERS are gonna be out of a job! 🙄🤦
I fly freestyle at 50 like I race. It makes it sooo much easier to see every thing. Now.... Lets argue the whole "Power Loop" thing. The name would suggest being under power the whole time. Not dropping throttle as you crest the top and float back down. Just sayin......

Thak you very much!
Thats really it!
Thanks JB, just went full acro this month! Cant wait for the rain to stop now.......
That high uptilt life! Why you spilling secrets??? Haha. Killed it Joshua. Those last loops were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love the hat too! Thanks brotha!
And now it's your turn to reveal your secrets :D

Sh!t!
Came here to get some tips but I'm flying 1s whoops, with minimal uptilt, trying to loop, not that much weight there.....

Gonna have to try this uptilt thing!
Dang, I thought it was practice...doesn't Cricket run 0 deg. camera angle? PDEVX also flies with a wider angle camera lens to see more as well.
Was gonna say the same. Flying backward is not only easier with a lower camera angle, but you're not going as fast, so it's easier to control..

Most tricks are easier with higher uptilt imo. Great vid JB 👌
Well, I certainly learned something today
I just realized your house is also in the Liftoff game . Playing it now . 😆
The secret to great power loops is to use always the same uptilt :D
yoooo i really need to make some practice gates like this i usually run 30 degrees tilt ,i found it makes going through gaps easier by far but your quad deffinitly gets moving way faster. great flying JB
Tennessee??? What part are you in brother
Nice to see ya grindin it out there.
no attached phone for remote id on those goggle 2s?
That's only with the Avata not the O3.
@@JoshuaBardwell oh for real? Im guessing its because it assumes you built the quad and its not their responsibility to have it active?
Great vid, if only there was a way to dynamically control camera tilt as you fly... About to go practice my power loops
how did u recorded sound with O3? hehe Regards
Which mode it was? Acro or Air mode?
Air mode always.
I just bought your drone from getfpv. I flew it out too far and lost it. I’m not sure if it lost signal, but if it did do the motors cut off or does it keep flying in that direction?
If you failsafe, motors cut off.
Awesome to see you stepping your freestyle game up.

Seems like an opportunity to have duel camera drones with the ability to toggle between them or split screen
Artificial horizon and horizon sidebars are the key to mastering different amounts of uptilt.
I should clarify. Don't depend on the horizon bars if you can help it. Just use them to find a frame of reference for entering level flight. Readjust your "level" horizon that way. You'll adjust much quicker.
You should show us your osd in your googles.
you need a blessing from PhantomFPV 😀
He’s quickly becoming my favorite pilot to watch
Aa josh can u tell which goggles ur using in this video
DJI Goggles 2
with a servo, it will be possible i guess
I'm in Kentucky, would like to think I'm an up and coming freestyler, hope I end up ripping the infamous bardwell lawn at some point lol
you are your a beast, go show him how to tear this shizz up
@bigoilyguy I'd like to fly there just cause of what it is lol. I would def have thrown er in reverse the other direction on this though 😝
Had the rare opportunity. It’s a rad location for sure. Won a golden ticket one time and JB green lighted me. Would LOVE to go back again.
@Phantom FPV did he have this obstacle yet lol. I'm gonna build one of these.
rad fligtz Mr. Bardwell
One axis gimbal is the answer to your wish at the end jb
With head tracking control
How nice it would be to adjust camera tilt with a switch. C'mon JB. Teach us how to do that. A servo on a switch?
Ok. Just for you. th-cam.com/video/YVC5HyJGU4Y/w-d-xo.html
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks!
One day someone will make a 2-3 position magnet to tilt the camera 20-30-40 degree with a switch.
Thanks for the tutorial, Joshua! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
45 is min uptilt
Nice 1 Jan, hope you can get good 👍
I fly 45-50 degree uptilt and feel that higher doesn't "make" you go faster, it's just adjusting to the new lower horizon...you tend to go faster yes because level isn't what it was before, its like sitting in a recliner, just lean back.. hovering and doing slow paced proximity stuff with higher uptilt is still fairly easy once you've gotten used to the new horizon. nice work by the way 👍 -toad (the guy with the challenger from rampage)- video on youtube titled "I made bardwell squeal" 😀
Excellent analysis. Makes perfect sense
@creationlabsinc.189 thanks man :)
Wearing shorts in January..?... Honestly, it shouldn't be allowed..I mean we are grounded here for at least another 2 months....Nice moves though Joshy Boy....lol ..😀😀😀😏😏🇬🇧
The way to do all the tricks is called gimbal.
Or practice
Crocheting That
So weird, I just started doing this earlier today..
Cricket flies very low uptilt though, isn`t he?
Low uptilt is good for flying backwards but it makes power loops harder. No free lunch I guess. Cricket is just good LOL.
I'm flying pretty low uptilt by most standards of about 13° and yeah, powerloops, mattys, trippy spins are freaking hard
This is fair, but as your pinned comment says the actual secret is practice. Changing your camera angle will never help if that is all you do. It will probably make you worse as you will start chasing your tail and over complicating things. You need repetition at the same camera angle to create the muscle memory, which is ultimately what creates good flying. Not what you can or can't see.
Yes, practice is important, but come on ... being able to see where you're going obviously helps.

Ty. Im fking struggling with my powerloops.
Use a sim. Saves tons of cash on broken parts and quads stuck in trees
lol i was doing these earlier today
"The Poshua Loopwell"
I need to move! been simulator only for the last 2 months or more.. highs in the 30's at most and way too much snow to risk it.
Another great video JB!
If you conformal coat your stack, it can be made much more snow resistant

It would be cool to have a fpv camera with a tall FOV for this... or just add a tilt servo...lol...

Or powering into the loop
Heck, I'm still just getting a feel for clean power loops. It's not hard to do a big loop in an open field, but doing them precisely is a real trick.
I did this by accident yesterday while trying to do a power loop
👍🏻👍🏻
