Welcome to FPV from my Side too!!!!! Cool seeing new people comin!!!! Here are some Tips: I'd recommend different goggles the Eachine Ev800DM and also the Mamba Stack ist not only the FC but also a 4in1ESC.... Umm also Last Thing, you can Take the drone in your Hand when armed, Just make Sure your Motors are configured right and U have all the directions right (Motors and Props)....ohhh and be careful 😂 One Question too, did U use RealSteadyGo or GoPro Hypersoomth for your shots?
lol omg this is an awesome video. true noobs. 1. tries to fly in house 2.doesnt do all the calibrations before maiden flight 3.grabs armed quad 4.doesnt make sure the props are configured in the proper direction 5. immediately goes into FPV flight without checking the flight characteristics in line of sight mode 6.flys over peoples homes and public roads without knowing the craft/equipment well (range, reliability, etc.) and the quad just falls out the sky. im only at 9:16 but still a great video a must watch for people getting into the hobby. learn from his mistakes so you dont have to repeat them. ESPECIALLY #6 if that thing would've fell from the sky and hit a moving vehicle causing it to swerve/crash with injuries it could spell disaster for the whole Hobby. they are looking for reasons to shut us down. fly safe, fly often
I didn't catch on until I watched their camera zip line video. Was doing double takes. Then they were in the same shot. Uhhhh... O.K. Then I started looking for difference, as they are not exactly identical twins. Easiest way for me - Steven has a mole on his lower left jaw, beneath the corner of his mouth. Also Steven looks to be a tad taller. Both have great personalities for this channel, which makes it a bit more difficult (besides their voices being almost the same) to tell them apart. Steven's eyes are a bit different than Mitchell's. Uh... guess enough said. I usually look for the mole.
Welcome to the hobby. For anyone watching and wanting to dive right in, I would recommend not following what this guy did. I would highly recommend watching some videos from Rotor Riot or Joshua Bardwell. These guys are pros and have great advice for getting into the hobby.
Rumi Hayes you can buy ready to fly and bind and fly quads but I would recommend building your own because when you break it you'll know exactly how to fix it I would recommend doing tons of research before you buy anything because re-buying all of your parts because they are not compatible or break really quickly you should check out a channel called Joshua bardwell because he is a massive wealth of knowledge and his channel still helps me with some problems after the last few years good luck!!
Rumi Hayes You could and should before flying a drone in real life, fly in a simulator first, remember these drones are not like dji drones which are fairly easy to fly and even beginners can do it after a few minutes. Fpv drones require practice and Im speaking from my own experience, before I bought the drone I bought myself the simulator and a transmitter so I could train beforehand. And I must admit that if I hadn’t trained, I would’ve crashed my drone on my first flight. About assembling. You dont need to but assembling one yourself really helps understanding everything and you can easily repair it if it breakes
I can honestly say its the most frustrating hobby Ive ever had. Shit always goes wrong when you start and for every problem is a days worth of researching on forums and youtube. But I love it and the reward can be epic.
@@TMSProductions I started in a sim (velocidrone, highly recomended) and spent hundreds of hours in there, then i went outside and spend dozens of hours, it gets expensive and quite frustrating at times but when you hit that very tight gap , fly that very flowy line and you're able to experience a birdseye reality, all of whats mentioned above becomes meaningless and the value of fun and excitement you get from it is priceless!!! Glad to see someone joining the hobby and wish you a lot of exciting and breathtaking moments
Damn, never mind the drone - storytelling, cinematography, music, everything is perfect here. We have exposition, rising action, first failures, first success, and then awesome resolution. Congratulations on the filmmaking skills!
Every problem that pops up, every thing you have to go look for answers for, everything is worth it the moment you take that first epic flight! Nothing like it! Freedom like you have never experienced. Instant love.
Small heads up for all the future fpv pilots out there: Always use a multimeter to meassure for continuity and additionally a smoke stopper before pluggging in the first time (; Also never fly indoors unless you know what you are doing^^ This guy was so lucky to not loose a finger.... Also your quad might need some tuning. You can definitly get rid of those vibrations in your video :D
@@LokaLize PID tuning to eliminate oscillations and bad flight characteristics. You need to know what you are doing. Extreme settings can burn out you motor windings.
@@LokaLize So generally it's tuning Mechanicals then Filters and then PIDs. Mechanical tuning is done by making a clean build e.g tightning all the screws, clean soldering, using a capacitor... and using (proper) soft mounting methods. Soft mounting is kind of a mechanical filtering which gets rid of some undesired effects described below. The good thing is, it's super easy and it always works. You can't break it. Just make sure to only use one soft mounting method. Don't overdo it or your quad will fly really "sluggish". Filtering in short: Your fllight controler has a little sensor, that messures the g-forces impacting on it. Called a gyro. This data and your inputs is then used to move the quad where you tell it to and correct movement that happens for whatever reason and you didn't give as input. So now the problem is, that we also have data in those readings, which actually is impossible for the motors to correct and also there's no reason. Those are mostly frequencies not visible and irelevant. Also we get noise into the gyro e.g electrical noise from motors or other stuff, that doesn't coresspond to real movements and shouldn't be corrected either. Because what happens if you correct a movement that isn't there? You actually introduce those vibrations. There's a lot of videos on filters and it definitly needs some time to understand them. Too low filtering can overheat your motors as your quad will try to react to those vibrations in frequencies it can't react to. Using Betaflight 4.1 Slider though makes it rather easy. Just keep lowering the filters and do extensive testing on each step. First thing to do is a short hover. If the motors are already warm you should go back a step. Although nice to test each stage with a little beat up props (flyable ones though^^). To visualize the gyro input you can enable logging in Betaflight and use BetaflightConfigurator and PidToolbox to visualize it. There's a ton of videos on this topic. PIDs: This is really something to watch video's on. So small changes usually don't do much. Changes by feeling never work for me. I am using PidToolbox to visualize my PID's and then change them accordingly. Usually I start with someone else PID's to a quad similar to mine (first make sure that you have a mechanically clean working quad). The tricky part on them is, that P, I and D values work with each other. Chaning one alone at a time like often suggested never brings me to the desired result. It's about the right ratios. This is where again the Betaflight 4.1 Sliders are really helpful. Well this ended as quite a lot of text. Hope it gives you a small insight into the topic though (:
I just want to say, I watched this vid near 2 months ago. I bought drone parts on January 5th (not the parts you mentioned in the description.) I received the parts about a week ago. I struggled a lot for a week to build my drone because of my 0 experience on how to and where to solder the wires. After figuring the wiring I came across another struggle, how to setup Betaflight and configure my drone. As you can expect I figured everything out except the one last problem you had with your drone. My drone mimicked the way your drone hopped on thrust and stopped. Luckily, I remembered your video and saw what you did to fix it. So, what I am saying is, thank you so much for including the part where you fixed your drone because it definitely fixed mine.
Its only doing it like that because of a very important safety feature in the drone's flight controller that is preventing the drone from launching to the sky on its own as a result of the obvious mistake that the pilot made while configuring the settings in Betaflight. If this was attempted a couple years ago before that safety feature what implemented, the drone would have spun out of control into the sky and possibly never come back... but yeah, its cute.
I haven’t seen any comments about this yet, but this editing is incredible. Actually blowing my mind the effort put in to some of these transitions. The drone shots of the car in the snowy woods is such a minute detail and almost irrelevant to the entire video but adds such a dynamic vision of the area youre traversing and I really appreciate the time and effort put in to the minor details that most people don’t notice. Well fucking done.
Amazing! You guys took the challenge and killed it. So impressive!! I had no idea the FPV drones didn’t just come ready to fly? Impressive all around boys! Thumbs up from me. Tim
Awesome dude! Congrats! I just built my first FPV a couple weeks ago and am practicing for my first ridge dive on a mountain climb trip i'm doing in January. Woo!
Welcome to the hobby brother! Fantastic production quality, great story telling. I really love seeing the excitement of other pilots first getting into the hobby and personally remembering the days when I first started. You flew amazing for it just being your first week, hopefully you stick with it and you'll be nailing killer shots in no time. Hopefully you avoid flying over peoples houses and cars and such as you keep practicing though, especially while starting out. Good luck!
Welcome to the most amazing hobby of the universe. Your making the best example how to not be patient to try out your build. Exemplary for getting respect for the props through experience. Therefore very nice to see you disarming in time while you crash. Trip down memory lane when watching you flying FPV for the first try. Wishing you luck to solve the jello problem of your quad!
Small heads up for all the future fpv pilots out there: These drones can be a little dangerous. When you're a beginner, try to reach out to the local FPV community to get some guidance/help. The first time you arm/fly your new quadcopter, a series of issues can arise, that's why you need to test everything carefully before you can confidently fly in a little park like that in the middle of a residential area. One important test to do is to arm your quad whitout the props (important) and turn off your radio while the motors are spinning. This is especially important if you haven't setup a 'failsafe' yet. If the motors turn off you're fine, if they don't, you might lose the whole thing the first time you lose radio connection. Enjoy and fly safe! Edit: Now that I've watched the whole video it was actually insane! Can't believe you guys went to rip that spot after just a week of practice! Good stuff, that's what FPV is all about, keep it up!
@@eliodib86 High gain/directional/ antenna must always point to the direction where drone is flying...Omnidirectional have less gain but it work 360 degrees around you. The diretional antenna have only 60degrees or less...More gain-less area to cover, but you can fly much more far. But antenna must point to the drone more precisely...Omni directional antennas are pagodas and other circular polarization antennas...Omni antenas is also antenas like you use for wifi router, but they are not circular polarity but linear...High gain antenas are patch antennas, or helical, or yagi....
I really envy you, I started flying fpv about 3-4 years ago and stuff has improved so much lately and it’s so much easier now than it used to be to get started. Back in the day there were no simulator, you just crashed rebuilt and repeat :)
Please always take care while learning to fly FPV. Some interactions in this video are really dangerous. Pls just watch first some Video series from Joshua Bardwell to learn how to build and configurate.
I use such large soldering iron for soldering rain gutters ! You need small, 25-30 watts one, or you will melt everything. Such accident happened to most drone pilots, including me, had luck, injury was minimal, i learned it hard way, same as you lol. Each of that motors can draw around 350 - 400 watts at full power, it is half a horsepower, there is potential to serious injury !
@@HerreDePerre hell yeah, it's getting cheaper and safer every year, if you want some help building one feel free to contact me via Instagram or Facebook, kingsloth or Gabriel Bojer
This video is just amazing.. I'm air 2 owner and I starting to thinking about the fpv world, this video is simply perfect for me... really good, really emotional, I feel like I was there with you guys... well done!
4:46 I'm glad you uploaded this, people have lost fingers doing this... drones need to be treated with respect. The drone you built probably has 6-8kg of thrust... all of that force through 4 tiny propellers? You're lucky it didn't have much time to spin up or you might've been looking at fingers sliced off!! If you're holding onto the drone, if you hold with over 6-8kg thrust equivalent of grip strength you'd actually be ok. I've seen drones attempting to flyaway (full throttling without pilot instruction) be held onto by a prepared strong grip. STAY SAFE BROS
Never have I watched a TH-cam video where I just wish I was there hanging! Seriously, you all are naturals in front of the cameras and make this fun! Video production is top notch! Keep it up!,
things can definitely get rough.. and when you think everything is fixed then something else will pop up. after 3+ years of fpv I still find myself stuck at some points lol. and also don't be afraid to crash. the old motto used to be fly. crash. repair. and learn freestyle, man. the things you learn from it contribute to "cinematics & racing"
I think your video is a perfect example for new people getting into this they need to know what to do and why they shouldn’t do those things. I’m new to this been playing the dcl simulator on ps4 tell I get everything in the mail. I’ve been racking up about 4 hours a day.
It’s true. Especially if your a fpv veteran but I guess even us FPV guys all had to start at some point too, I just can’t remember it was so long ago. Damn those box goggles, umm, yeah I know it’s a budget build thing but damn. You can get some older Fatsharks or used ones and buy new bands for them or just go straight digital I made the conversion last year from analog. DJI FPV low latency system. Thankfully the only part that’s DJI is vtx and goggles. Not they they don’t make good products I just don’t want them ruining the FPV scene.
Sweet editing, music that makes you shake your bones and engaging entertaining content...all of which I have none of. I can't even fly my DJI MINI in "C" mode and not crash and forget about editing...so lost. Keep up the good flying. Keep the blue side up.
Favorite part of this, met fpv pilot and he lent us a set of propellers :) I'd be like, "meh, just keep em." Props are candy to the freestyle world for sure.
Welcome to the hobby, I’ve Been flying for just over a year now. Honestly once you get better at building it’s almost as much fun as flying. Do yourself a favor, get better goggles, and a smaller soldering iron. Awesome video though!!👍
I think what a lot of people don't seem to understand about the transition from dji shit to real equipment is the very real shift from 'operator' to 'pilot'
Also a good habbit always plug in the battery, when holding drone strongly from below, so not between the props, as you never know. For any testing even without props, just barely plug in xt60 by 1 mm, so whatever happens drone will unplug fast, just touching the cable.
4:47 this is why function like ARM/DISARM is needed... 1. you have to know FAA drone rols 2. you have to know all theory about FPV (failsafe, arm, disarm, lipo, charging, power output) 3. you have to know how to solder, if you get bad soldering point and it became loose in flight you could kill somebody, look at your fingers :)
I know you said it but yes that was the number one thing NOT to do, he's totally lucky that's all the damage done to his finger... Sorry but want to drive this point home... IDIOTS!!! Oh and also that's why you don't fly over people... Drone looses connection and it will drop out of the air. Anyway welcome to the scene man👍
Omg this video is literally how to do everything wrong going into fpv drones :D Atleast one thing he did right (got decent 200 buck futureproof radio). Also you cant change direction of motors with one button enabled, rotation was already correct, but you only needed to tell a drone which direction is it (reversed or regular) :) Never leave balance plug hanging on your drone, it will get destroyed by propellers in no time! Otherwise, great entertaining video, fly save, enjoy the hobby!
@@justingriffioen No, it will not reverse motors, it will tell the FC if you wired motors in reverse or if you set it that way in ESC configurator. One toggle wont make motors change the direction of rotation.
@@justingriffioen dude, from your messages I can tell you are not very deep in to these things at all, first of all clarify your fc, bf version, or maybe that's kiss you are talking about, for example - am talking about fc guy used in video
Welcome to the hobby!! Watch out for those spinning blades and make sure you put your props on the right way!👊😎👍 I hope to see more fpv videos from you in the future!
Don't think that kind of oscilations is fixable. He needs to swap out the motors or maybe the frame. The motors are very old and super low quality which is probably the cause of these vibrations
@@chrismawson4430 old motors yes. but these are racerstar 2205. the lowest quality you can find. the berings are crusty and shot when u get them. if he got some decent motors, it would make a massive difference
I have had many DJI /Camera types ask me how to get into FPV. The short answer is you need to enjoy the journey that is the hobby to get good footage. Looks like you chaps have that covered. Enjoy!
Definitely agree with that. I went through so many cheap vtx's, goggles, and modules (Once I finally bought a pair of Fatsharks). The best things I've done since I started flying was to invest in a Tbs Fusion, high quality vtx's, an Frsky R9M and started using smart audio. My video alone got a $#!+ ton better, just by using the Tbs fusion with an AKK X-2 ultimate.
a loud buzzer is a must for new pilots!!!.... you can get the one with a little lipo on it and it screming for a day for 15 dollars. I lost my first dron on my first flight because didnt get one. Keep it up ;)
Where are you guys from. So glad to see new people starting up. Good luck remember that the sim is your friend. Doesn’t cost anything when you trash. Good luck!
it's gotten so easy to switch the rotation of the rotors. back in the early days. like 2 years back you had to swap wires on between the ESC and the motor. any of the 3 wire you would switch would change the direction. Today click a button reverses the ESC. :D
One thing that takes months and months of flying to learn is how to fly so you dont get that crazy vibraty footage aka(PROPWASH). Learning to fly fpv is one thing but learning to get smooth cinematic shots is gonna take you MUCHHHHH longer than just a week. I love the courage and inthusiasm man keep it up i see a great pilot in you

I really love seeing the excitement of other pilots first getting into the hobby and personally remembering the days when I first started. You flew amazing for it just being your first week, hopefully you stick with it and you'll be nailing killer shots in no time. Hopefully you avoid flying over peoples houses and cars and such as you keep practicing though, especially while starting out. Good luck!
Thanks for the heads up!
Love seeing people join the hobby, my channel is all FPV. Great job
"If my calculations are correct" is a weird way to say "if I followed the instructions correctly" 😂
Let me tell you something. In this hobby, nothing comes with instructions, except maybe fatshark goggles
Welcome to the most amazing hobby of the universe. Your making the best example how to not be patient to try out your build. Exemplary for getting respect for the props through experience. Therefore very nice to see you disarming in time while you crash. Trip down memory lane when watching you flying FPV for the first try. Wishing you luck to solve the jello problem of your quad!
Small heads up for all the future fpv pilots out there: These drones can be a little dangerous.
When you're a beginner, try to reach out to the local FPV community to get some guidance/help. The first time you arm/fly your new quadcopter, a series of issues can arise, that's why you need to test everything carefully before you can confidently fly in a little park like that in the middle of a residential area. One important test to do is to arm your quad whitout the props (important) and turn off your radio while the motors are spinning. This is especially important if you haven't setup a 'failsafe' yet. If the motors turn off you're fine, if they don't, you might lose the whole thing the first time you lose radio connection. Enjoy and fly safe!
Edit: Now that I've watched the whole video it was actually insane! Can't believe you guys went to rip that spot after just a week of practice!
Good stuff, that's what FPV is all about, keep it up!
I love how much effort you put into your videos your great
Pick your head up.
Your antennas are pointing to the ground.
And the high gain antenna orientation is wrong...
He's used to DJI controllers i guess
Peter Janusek how should he point it? curious as i m new to the hobby and i dont know about the antennas that much
@@eliodib86 High gain/directional/ antenna must always point to the direction where drone is flying...Omnidirectional have less gain but it work 360 degrees around you. The diretional antenna have only 60degrees or less...More gain-less area to cover, but you can fly much more far. But antenna must point to the drone more precisely...Omni directional antennas are pagodas and other circular polarization antennas...Omni antenas is also antenas like you use for wifi router, but they are not circular polarity but linear...High gain antenas are patch antennas, or helical, or yagi....
Peter Janusek okayy thank youuu
I really envy you, I started flying fpv about 3-4 years ago and stuff has improved so much lately and it’s so much easier now than it used to be to get started. Back in the day there were no simulator, you just crashed rebuilt and repeat :)
can we all agree that this is the equivalent of the verge pc build but for fpv
I love this hobby and honestly it’s one of the best cinematic tools
Please always take care while learning to fly FPV. Some interactions in this video are really dangerous. Pls just watch first some Video series from Joshua Bardwell to learn how to build and configurate.
I use such large soldering iron for soldering rain gutters ! You need small, 25-30 watts one, or you will melt everything.
Such accident happened to most drone pilots, including me, had luck, injury was minimal, i learned it hard way, same as you lol.
Each of that motors can draw around 350 - 400 watts at full power, it is half a horsepower, there is potential to serious injury !
Nice dude, been in the hobby for 2 years now and it's truly unique , welcome to the hobby❤️
Thank you!
kingsloth is it worth getting into?
@@HerreDePerre hell yeah, it's getting cheaper and safer every year, if you want some help building one feel free to contact me via Instagram or Facebook, kingsloth or Gabriel Bojer
This video is just amazing..
I'm air 2 owner and I starting to thinking about the fpv world, this video is simply perfect for me... really good, really emotional, I feel like I was there with you guys... well done!
Don’t feel stupid man. It’s a very complex machine. So much to learn.
Awesome video. I am happy for you as you start discovering the drone and FPV hobby. It will be frustrating but it is worth it. Happy flying.
Thank you! We're having a lot of fun!
4:46 I'm glad you uploaded this, people have lost fingers doing this... drones need to be treated with respect. The drone you built probably has 6-8kg of thrust... all of that force through 4 tiny propellers? You're lucky it didn't have much time to spin up or you might've been looking at fingers sliced off!! If you're holding onto the drone, if you hold with over 6-8kg thrust equivalent of grip strength you'd actually be ok. I've seen drones attempting to flyaway (full throttling without pilot instruction) be held onto by a prepared strong grip.
STAY SAFE BROS
I love the way you did the build - camera transitions.
Story: A++ Smarticles: F- Story is way more important than playing it safe, right??😜
Its entertaining af tho
Safety third!
Safety 2nd, after fun
Never have I watched a TH-cam video where I just wish I was there hanging! Seriously, you all are naturals in front of the cameras and make this fun! Video production is top notch! Keep it up!,
12:00 he really getting the 4s to 6V and 1.7per cell, and people in the vomments complain about his 14.4 instead of 14.8
things can definitely get rough.. and when you think everything is fixed then something else will pop up. after 3+ years of fpv I still find myself stuck at some points lol. and also don't be afraid to crash. the old motto used to be fly. crash. repair. and learn freestyle, man. the things you learn from it contribute to "cinematics & racing"
Looks like we're working in opposite directions. You're getting into FPV, and I'm trying to work on cinematography. Keep it up!!!
Great work.........that showed a major part of doing anything from scratch.....FUN....Ya gotta have FUN...Well done.
I think your video is a perfect example for new people getting into this they need to know what to do and why they shouldn’t do those things. I’m new to this been playing the dcl simulator on ps4 tell I get everything in the mail. I’ve been racking up about 4 hours a day.
This might be your best video so far. Sound design, attention to detail, story. Excellent work.
The real question is can we have a parts list? :)
Thank you! We really appreciate it! Parts list coming soon!
I have watched millions of hours of first person view drone footage. This is the best start up noob video I have ever seen good job great editing.
thank you so much!
3:12 when you think your daughter might me a nicotine addict.
HAHA
Lmao
Lmfaooooo best comment I’ve probably ever read on TH-cam. 😂😂
I am just starting out on my FPV journey and this has been so helpful guys. Just shows what you can achieve with pure determination 🤙
this is why FPV guys roll their eyes at DJI pilots lol. you'll learn
Omg what an annoying wankerish comment!!!
They, we, fly the dji cause it is easy. It literally flies itself
It’s true. Especially if your a fpv veteran but I guess even us FPV guys all had to start at some point too, I just can’t remember it was so long ago. Damn those box goggles, umm, yeah I know it’s a budget build thing but damn. You can get some older Fatsharks or used ones and buy new bands for them or just go straight digital I made the conversion last year from analog. DJI FPV low latency system. Thankfully the only part that’s DJI is vtx and goggles. Not they they don’t make good products I just don’t want them ruining the FPV scene.
Sweet editing, music that makes you shake your bones and engaging entertaining content...all of which I have none of. I can't even fly my DJI MINI in "C" mode and not crash and forget about editing...so lost. Keep up the good flying. Keep the blue side up.
Uhh the first step research, skipped the safety huh :P
Favorite part of this, met fpv pilot and he lent us a set of propellers :) I'd be like, "meh, just keep em." Props are candy to the freestyle world for sure.
14:10 my mind is blowing now
What is your mind blowing on?
I am starting to learn about FPV drones myself and this is truly inspirational, thank you.
I just ordered me a tiny hawk lol , can’t wait to start learning how to fly these drones and get one of these bad boys ! Good work with yours !
but first try in the free simulator FPV Freerider in Google Play Store 😉
Tinyhawk is what I started on and I still fly it and love it. Go right into Acro..sim first though.
Just ordered mine too! Can't wait.
I got mine a couple weeks ago and love it! I am new to FPV also, still learning. Liftoff is a good sim....
small drones are great because the battery cost is sO much lower
Welcome to the hobby, I’ve Been flying for just over a year now. Honestly once you get better at building it’s almost as much fun as flying. Do yourself a favor, get better goggles, and a smaller soldering iron. Awesome video though!!👍
Thanks for the heads up. May need to invest in a better iron and goggles!
This is the most underrated video I have ever watched...
I think what a lot of people don't seem to understand about the transition from dji shit to real equipment is the very real shift from 'operator' to 'pilot'
You have turned the ESC's upside down.
The arrow of the ESC's is not seen.
The engines change the numbering address.
:D
The cinematography of this video is amazing
grabing an armed fpv drone is truly stupid XD, greet in club btw
That initial take off is like the drone is barking like a 🐕 cute...😂😍
such an amazing video
Thanks!
Also a good habbit always plug in the battery, when holding drone strongly from below, so not between the props, as you never know. For any testing even without props, just barely plug in xt60 by 1 mm, so whatever happens drone will unplug fast, just touching the cable.
I can't hold to comment in first 8 minute watch..
1st blood shock me
2nd Is that frog or drone?🤣🤣
3rd Yeaaa, successs drone fly👍🏻
4:47 this is why function like ARM/DISARM is needed...
1. you have to know FAA drone rols
2. you have to know all theory about FPV (failsafe, arm, disarm, lipo, charging, power output)
3. you have to know how to solder, if you get bad soldering point and it became loose in flight you could kill somebody, look at your fingers :)
I know you said it but yes that was the number one thing NOT to do, he's totally lucky that's all the damage done to his finger... Sorry but want to drive this point home... IDIOTS!!!
Oh and also that's why you don't fly over people... Drone looses connection and it will drop out of the air.
Anyway welcome to the scene man👍
Welcome to FPV! What an amazingly shot story
Hey there, what simulator would you recommend to use?
The best thing in your channel that you show all the failures you face!
You need to try a cinewhoop.
Omg this video is literally how to do everything wrong going into fpv drones :D Atleast one thing he did right (got decent 200 buck futureproof radio). Also you cant change direction of motors with one button enabled, rotation was already correct, but you only needed to tell a drone which direction is it (reversed or regular) :) Never leave balance plug hanging on your drone, it will get destroyed by propellers in no time! Otherwise, great entertaining video, fly save, enjoy the hobby!
@@justingriffioen No, it will not reverse motors, it will tell the FC if you wired motors in reverse or if you set it that way in ESC configurator. One toggle wont make motors change the direction of rotation.
@@justingriffioen dude, from your messages I can tell you are not very deep in to these things at all, first of all clarify your fc, bf version, or maybe that's kiss you are talking about, for example - am talking about fc guy used in video
Welcome to the hobby!! Watch out for those spinning blades and make sure you put your props on the right way!👊😎👍 I hope to see more fpv videos from you in the future!
Try tuning that thing to get rid of oszillations
Don't think that kind of oscilations is fixable. He needs to swap out the motors or maybe the frame. The motors are very old and super low quality which is probably the cause of these vibrations
@@aldenhauser9555 yes it is!
@@aldenhauser9555 Nah, you can still get smooth flying with old motors. Those are probably thrashed though.
@@chrismawson4430 old motors yes. but these are racerstar 2205. the lowest quality you can find. the berings are crusty and shot when u get them. if he got some decent motors, it would make a massive difference
Yeah Racerstar... that name even frightens me. Banggood specials. Some T-Motors or XING or or :-p
him sitting there with his patch antenna rotated 90° triggers me sooo much haha
Great video!
you need to get rid of that auxilation try some soft bumps below the Gopro
I tgink tuning the drone would be a better idea
He needs new motors. the ones he uses are old and very bad quality
Yeh man thank you i just got myself a tbs 5 inch racing drone long distance can't wait until she comes lol.
He fly in his room and changed the rotors 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂
Because of that, the drone flipped over.
I have had many DJI /Camera types ask me how to get into FPV.
The short answer is you need to enjoy the journey that is the hobby to get good footage. Looks like you chaps have that covered. Enjoy!
Get yourself some crossfire and some nice goggles. Don’t cheap out on telemetry or video.
Definitely agree with that. I went through so many cheap vtx's, goggles, and modules (Once I finally bought a pair of Fatsharks). The best things I've done since I started flying was to invest in a Tbs Fusion, high quality vtx's, an Frsky R9M and started using smart audio. My video alone got a $#!+ ton better, just by using the Tbs fusion with an AKK X-2 ultimate.
a loud buzzer is a must for new pilots!!!.... you can get the one with a little lipo on it and it screming for a day for 15 dollars. I lost my first dron on my first flight because didnt get one. Keep it up ;)
Can't tell if the guy who got cut are crying like a wuss or actually enjoying the pain lol.
or both.. ? I'll vote for the pain.
"never flown a drone before, lets go try this insane ridge dive"
*cuts to perfect drone footage of car going to location*
And........ this is exactly why the FAA is proposing remote ID :(
What does this video has to do with Remote ID?
Great work guys! Loved the drama and camera work (ground AND drone)!
13:30 could someone pls name the song ?!!!
Shame by Windmills
@@Isaac-uu8ie thanks Mate
Where are you guys from.
So glad to see new people starting up.
Good luck remember that the sim is your friend. Doesn’t cost anything when you trash.
Good luck!
По русски название: одна неделя из жизни рукожопа))
Like from Eastern Europe. For the last three years this hobby became my life style.
auto leveling is cheating :P pretty much flying a DJI drone :P
it's gotten so easy to switch the rotation of the rotors. back in the early days. like 2 years back you had to swap wires on between the ESC and the motor. any of the 3 wire you would switch would change the direction. Today click a button reverses the ESC. :D
I honestly find so much joy in watching your videos!!
awesome energy and real-time things that happen when flying drones! thanks for posting
One thing that takes months and months of flying to learn is how to fly so you dont get that crazy vibraty footage aka(PROPWASH). Learning to fly fpv is one thing but learning to get smooth cinematic shots is gonna take you MUCHHHHH longer than just a week. I love the courage and inthusiasm man keep it up i see a great pilot in you
Cool vid bro! Fellow Canadian here just learning FPV. You learned fast!👍
