How to Start Flying FPV DRONES in 2024

Biggest problem i had with my 1st FPV drone as it didn't have any altitude controls. It was far to easy to pile it into the ground.
One of these days i will take it out into a field or an open countryside. Until then it sits

Thank you. I feel like I can really do this.

One thing I found when starting fpv was how vital it is learning how to land as it’s something that is obviously lacking from the simulator process.
I’m quite confident with flying now, but learning how to land back on a landing pad is proving difficult.
I’m just disarming my quad when it’s in my general location and then walking a couple meters or whatever to collect it.
And learning about lipos and voltage etc is really important as well.

I learned acro via the Avata and Dji Fpv, and recently upgraded to a Bob57 03 with crossfire, and am considering getting either the cinelog 35 v2, or cinebot 30.

You got yourself a subscriber.. 100%

Watching these kind of videos, I realized DJI drones are shit ass expensive and no worth buying, also, that I don't have the time to do this soldering, buying parts, screws, and so on :(

I would prefer someone making it for me and fix it when ever i break it.

Great video, you sure are knowledgeable. Thumbs up. Do you need an amateur (ham) radio license?

Im thinking of bying a betaFPV cetus X just to start out, i have some experience in flying the emax tinihawk 2 frestyle, bud sdly soldt it cause of money needs… but now i want to get back in the hobby… i also bought the radiomaster tx16 hall carbon quite cheap used… to train int the sim… anyways, do you think the cetus x is a ok drone to start off with?

yo whats up, i was wondering if i should get a dji mavic 3 pro cine, or a dji inspire 2 for real-estate etc?!

Being the most inexperienced person on this subject, you gave me a way to begin my journey. Kudos to you. Thank you for such an amazing video.

I remember running an FPV setup in the 90's for RC racing. Wireless SD camera with a CMOS sensor (not even a CCD). Maybe 200m range max and with occasional static. Goggles were 640x480, and to record footage, I had to hook up a camcorder. Now everything comes in a single package. No need to invent contraptions, and it's all relatively cheap. Plenty of replacement parts. They made it easy for people to get into drone operation. I've had a number of them over the years. I had a chance to learn them though practice, but if I was just starting from scratch, I would've gone with a simulator for sure. Back when I started piloting, they didn't exist.

Thanks for the informative content 👍

Best tip I got, having money and buying all the nicest equipment will do absolutely nothing to make you better at flying manual/ACRO mode. The only piece of equipment that will actually improve (it will not make you better) your experience is buying that DJI goggles 2 and the DJI receiver to allow for much longer range, and yes, that will cost you around $1000. Aside from that, but an emax mini 2 or 3 inch (under 250 grams) quad package for around $500 and make sure it’s RTF (ready to fly, no binding and beta flight). Just charge and fly, super easy.

Amazing video as always. The videos get better with every new one. Keep up the great work.

A little bit obsolete for 2023...

All I have is a 100 dollars yall got any fpv drones that can fly for 25-30 minutes out of the box or DIY...

ty so much about using a radio controller instead of an xbox controller like I am, I'm currently discouraged based on how I can't throttle/yaw effectively..

Thank you for your concise summary ... very helpful indeed!

Instantly subscribed. Will contact you to ask for help building one up soon. Hope you do respond to your subscribers comments. An email address would be great for a detailed chat.

Do you need part 107 license to fly FPV drones?

Love my foxwhoop 2.5 and my cine30 my next one gonna be 7 or that crazy iflight i10 that thing is nutty buddy Vrap

Thanks man.

Great vid! New sub here. I started on Crossfire, FatShark Attitude V6 goggles, and of course a Tango 2 (first and only transmitter I'll ever buy/need). Was against digital for a long time and finally took the leap. Got Walksnail Avatar V2, upgraded my fleet and I could def NEVER go back. Night and day difference. I'd definitely recommend going digital to any new pilot instead of going analog. It's come a long way and I average just 25mbps at 1080p. Keep up the good work! 👊

The issue is were i live(Spain) u need a license and its not cheap by anymean so there is a big up front cost

I want to get some great footage at all the riots !

lmfao, best for me ay

Can dji air 2s camera be used in fpv drone

Cool Video, I recently got myself a creap ass 15 dollar drone and i´m obsessed with it, flying it at every oppertunity. Now i wanna really get into it and your video was extremely helpful, Thanks a lot😁

For someone who spent a lot of time in serious flying sims like DCS, I wonder how easy or difficult transferring to this would be lol

Thanks

なるほどです。fpvはじめるので参考にさせていただきます😉

Great Video ! ! ! - Thank you ! ! !

Hi please help me! What kind of controller I neet to buy for liftoff drone simulator ? almost all controllers for drones are compatible with this simulator? I have macbook. I don't want to buy an expensive controller for beginning.
Thank you for help! :) :)

Is there any fpv drones that I could use with my Xwave analog 5.8 goggles and my spectrum rc transmitter? Thanks for any suggestions.

Awesome video!

In the 90's when i flew rc helicopters (FYI - 5 gimbals - pitch , yaw , roll , throttle , and blade angle) these was the exact same uproar about the quality digital over analog as it was new then - you will not really find many analog heli's anymore. although to be fair helis can have much larger engines , batteries and mainly receivers that are much more reactive than the ones in fpv

What the heck bro. You are such amazing person judging by your presentation! Sadly money and the place(country you are living) takes a big part of starting the fpv journey.
Any advice you can give me how to find some groups, people, some pilots in my country/city ? I've been look at social medias, but didn't help much... Thanks!

For a newbie like myself, I found your video to be a great starting tool. I took notes, step by step and even typed out your Diligent Practice & Patient Progress, printed it and put it up in my shop. Thanks again for your wisdom.

Nice video :)!
Some tips and explanation on batteries and chargers and how to pack your equipment for traveling would also be useful

Great video, rn I want to buy and install a camera on my brothers (now mine) Traxxas Alias and really wanting to get some kind of DJI combo or maybe I’ll build my own someday

Building your own drone would be so cool

Great video! Thanks for all the info

Wow, you got to be paid by DJI! There is alot of other options to, but you say nothing of them only DJI.

Any recommendations for cheap drone to fly out to check cows approx 200 yards

I would love to build my own drone but I don’t want to mess it up. I don’t have the confidence to do it😅

It would be nice to practice on a simulator, however I don’t have a computer and can’t justify spending what I have saved for a fpv setup on a computer.

This is so helpful thank you!

dude YT recommended me your video and now I am about to buy FPV drone. Its your fault you got me to spend my savings haha

Great video my guy

would you recommend I buy an Avata with the goggles and controller included or grab a different pair of goggles and a different controller and buy the Avata alone?
