I have DRL Liftoff and Velocidrone.. and I have to say that the best sim for me is Velocidrone since it has the best physics and also online community. DRL is good for beginners training program. Velocidrone just have maps for it but does not limit your movements like DRL to adjust the sticks limits. Best part of Velocidrone is you can create your own maps, like similar place of your neighbourhood and fly around or real racing tracks to practice in sim. (with best physics) You can find a lot of real life tracks sim versions. LOTS of drone options including minidrones and big ones. If you become really good at flying drones, then you may want to try DRL competitions as he says to become real life challenger (top 8 overall) Otherwise just Velocidrone is fit for all you need from a simulator.. Realistic physics, creating own tracks and community.

Great stuff. I'm brand spanking new to the hobby ( 20 hours on sim and 3 hrs on cetus pro). and really appreciate this kind of content. The reason I am learning is because of the therepuetic benefit it gives me. I have an aquired brain injury and the feeling it gives me when I'm cruising around is just so amazing. So for me it is a very personal thing. Later perhaps I will find like minded people. For now I'm gonna keep banging away with this little cetus. Subscribed. 😊

Bloody Karens, that karen looked kinda cute tho 😏

Wait, he just called a freestyle drone a cinawhoop that’s a 5 inch freestyle, quad with gps noob noob noob everybody take his information with a grain of salt

This video starts off with very very bad advice. Just FYI.

Even the prebuilt drones i bought were eventually completely torn apart and rebuilt/ modified. If you follow a guide with the exact parts they use, building a drone for the first time is pretty easy. Only thing you should wire up is the reciever and the vtx. No need to mess with a gps or LEDs unless you want to. Itll just make the build more complicated and confusing.

Nothing wrong with starting with a prebuilt. But you will have to learn how to fix it at some point. My advice is start with a 75mm Whoop to learn the basics. Great for learning how to fly without the risk. Everything is on connectors, so easy to swap parts and repair while you learn and get a feel for how it all works. Solder on a BT2.0 connector for your first project. After you understand a Whoop it all applies to the bigger quads when you want to step it up.

I built my 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th drones and have frames / components for two more 5" freestlye copters being delivered this week. I did my 1st build after watching a Bardwell how to and discovered I enjoy building them as much as flying them. Honestly if not for building it myself I would have felt lost instead of having a much better working knowledge of how each component works & relates to the others. Also, because I chose to build, I had the confidence, plus every tool and most spare parts to make any repairs necessary. Needless to say, I am a huge advocate of building at least ones own first drone. If you stay in the hobby any amount of time, you will aquire most of the tools needed to build anyway just by necessity, its also a little less expensive to get into a quality machine if you build it and a full build can easily be completed in a weekend or less. These days even if youre unable or just refuse to learn to solder, there are plug & play options for every FC / ESC, VTX and RX that you could want, so besides having to buy a few common tools, its hard to imagine a good reason not to want to experience the satisfaction of building your own copter and flying your own creation is always more fun than any store bought drone. Cheers.

Any suggestions on places to network that doesent include social media? I am happy to say I am 42 and have never had a social media account.

I never had any bad encounters with people I meet while flying

Few months ago, I was flying in the local park when I came home from work, wanted to relax, this nice couple came up we're quite nice.

Out of stock is also seemingly a huge issue. My tiny hawk 3 freestyle Plus has been sitting for 2 months now because the manufacturer has no replacement parts and I can't find a generic board in stock I feel safe gambling on. The same thing with tiny whoops, All of the good ones are always out of stock as well as the parts. I just bought an Avata 2, so I can have at least one drone that isn't impacted by this volatile market.

As someone who built his first ever drone himself I can say that it is worth it. Sure you can repair BNF drones but you can't really modify it. Also it is cheaper to build it and you can put stuff on it no other drone will ever have. For example I made an AirTag holder for it and now my drone is evern safer. There are thousands of videos out there that just show how they built their new drone and those were my tutorials. Most of the other tutorials went into Goggle and Radio stuff which you have to do with both options. Just imagine what feeling it must be to finally have your first ever quad finished and it all works perfectly. And that is not too rare. I personally had not to do anything later on the drone itself. Build it. Flash it. Configure it. Bind it and voila. Who sais this won't be the same case for you? And even if it is not, there is our god JB who will have a video just for you.

I think you make some good points about not building your own drone, but as a new person who built his first drone i think it was worth it. It taught me how the drone actually worked and what the components did, which was really helpful. However, i do like to build and fiddle with stuff so it might just be me.

Mt. Stupid is a good lesson to learn young. Stay humble till you have 10,000 hours... and then stay humble.

Can you share the link for the Evoque F5 V2 GPS mount?

this is the newest video about fpv drones that ive seen

how r u?- stunning drone~goodbye,🤚

I live in a caravan and build drones 😜

emax tinyhawk 3 freestyle was my first drone-arrived broken :(

Not everyone has a vehicle to get places if nobody lives near you

Hi Brodie! I have been binging a lot of your videos as I am trying to get into this hobby! I have decided to go with the radiomaster pocket transmitter, but I’m trying to find a good drone and goggles to go with it. Do you have any recommendations? I would like to keep the whole kit under 500$ please let me know if you have any recommendations!

it was not 24 hours. It was 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds

Thats really cool what are those metal rods called?

I saw a really cool video. 👍❤❤❤❤

Can we still fly here or is that Offer still not up

bro, if you are using macbook or any other apple product then stfu

Could you use this with an FMS f18 super hornet?

Hi there! I love your content and I was wondering if you know of any sub 250gram 4-5 inch freestyle analog drones that I can build? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I am so excited to build my first fpv drone! I just want to say thanks for all the amazing content you’ve provided me, it has helped me begin my journey into fpv with my first drone which was a BetaFPV Cetus Pro. As a thirteen year old, I will need to take some time to save up money for a 5” quad, but once I have enough, I should be able to fly with a good drone! Once again thank you so much for guiding me through this journey of learning FPV! Also, do you know any good 4”-5” fpv drones under 250 grams that are around $250-300 cad? Thank you so much!

Trying to use lift off as a beginner but just carnt get to grips with controling the drone on an xbox pad may have to invest in a remote first.

I'm getting a Boxer, thanks for the video new Sub

FPV Kamikazi!!!!!

A 3.5 inch just will never be a 5 inch... Sorry boys lol

Compatibility is life. I DJI is not readily compatible with other products I will throw them overboard.

I literally love the way you explained in very layman. I was confused a lot whether to go with dji avata2 or custom build as i am into traditional drone amd newbie on fpv. But you really clarifed my confusion and i think i should go ahead with prebuilt fpv. Will watch more of your videos n subscribed already. Just one question which one shall i go ahead with cineloop or freestyle ? Love from Bharat 🇮🇳🙏❤️

Great video. But what about a specific path to get started?

if you're looking at doing this and deciding between the 3 battery vs 1 battery, keep in mind that each extra battery is $130 USD and the battery charger holder thing is $60! :D

I use the boxer

I’m guessing you’re using 1mm props not 1.5mm

Got a grey screen but OSD still. Anyone have any ideas why!

After a firmware release today. As we speak actually. It's backwards compatible with the RC2, goggles to, and old FPV controllers. Oh yeah and also the Integra

VELOCIDRONE... ONE AND DONE..

What simulator is that???

what's your Instagram I want to follow on it to and I want to learn more about drone I always wanted to build one ever since I was kid but never had money since I was to young was not working even tho it expensive I want to learn

Bro, its a bad look when I CZcams "Starting with FPV drones" and there are two videos, using similar titles, and literally IDENTICAL thumb nail; at first I assumed it was the same content creator re-uploading and updated video, but its different it seems... You just literally copied haha

Where is TBS tango 2pro?
