I recently bought a Radiomaster Boxer because I’m a pincher. Awesome video, thanks for the tips.
Bro i love your vibe. I’m saving for a drone build. I’m learning loads from you mate
You can't recommend DJI controller 2 for real. If you lose signal on the goggles the drone failssafe even if you still have radio signal. DJI Controller must be avoided for any mid to long range flight.
I know right? This is basic knowledge
WHO doesn’t know it ?
Also it looses connection ALL THE TIME! 😡
I’m buying a Nazgul Evoque with the dji o3. For the headset I’m buying the dji goggles 2, but what should I go with on the controller? I get the receiver protocol options of DJI PNP, TBS Crossfire, and ExpressLRS 2.4 GHZ.
@@thaddeusdenton9264 its between elrs and tbs. If you have money, tbs is simple, no flashing voodoo needed, it just works Tango 2 controller is a small size perfect for travel, rx has a simple bind button. Elrs is cheaper but you got to be careful what hardware to buy and its complicated to configure at the moment you can only bind in software. Personally I'm a tbs guy, I know I'm getting the best
I’m new to this channel and I love it already 👌🏾🔥🔥
Most of the FPV pilots use ELRS nowadays. The range is a lot better than what DJI can offer you. Try it, it is cheap, reliable and outperforms videosignal most of the time
Yeah definitely another good option. Ive used it in the past and just didnt like the setup process. Might have gotten simpler since then tho
So dude I'm new in this hobby so what about tbs crossfire , what do you think about it ? Nowadays I've been using dji remote controler so I'm thinking about changing it
@@ErickSantos-ly1nmcrossfire the best for fpv!
@GrumezaStefan dude do you think that the crfs is better than erls ?tks for answer me
@@ErickSantos-ly1nm for sure is better, i’m using crossfire for over 7 years!
Slamming the buy button on those LUTs - I'm colorblind so they are a godsend, much thanks 🙏
Do any of the custom drones (iflight) besides the avata have a hover mode, or will i always need to be controlling them?
excellent video... do what you love!!!
Hey Danny! First of all thank u for this educational video for beginners.I have Defender 25 too and can i learn your settings on betaflight for it , is it possible? Thanks!
The Helion is an absolute beast but a beautiful flyer!
@Bollibompa for example with team black sheep crossfire radio and diversity receiver with the right antenna, you are good for 30km line of sight radio control, combine that with the dji o3 air unit video transmitter and dji integra goggles good for 20km line of sight and you have the latest best combo, elrs radio equipment is creeping up but lacks consistency on the hardware side
DJI Goggles 2 and Integra were just discounted to $450 and $350, respectively.
Also, Speedybee Mario 8" is a great long-range drone with folding arms.
Really!?ö tell me where pls
Epic thanks for the heads up!
@@Leobronke On Amazon
where exactly? can't find them anywhere for that price...
I just checked and they are discounted. Do you guys think they might release something new?
if I were to attach longer antennas to the nazgul evoque would it increase the range significantly compared to the stock antennas?
Between avata and defender 25 which one should someone chose for indoor and close to objects ( dens forest for example ) flying ? Thanks a lot!
great to see that you use the DJI controller, when a lot of pilots hate on it. I love it, for exactly the same reasons you mentioned!
The "hate" is because it uses the same serial bus than the goggles, and for some reason if you lose video signal the O3 also shuts the radio signal, so if your video signal glitches you lose control of your drone. Almost every other radio protocol has waaaay more range than the video signal, so it's very rare to lose control of the aircraft.
Just use extenders on the goggles...
@@redent84 didnt madstech debunk this? in the latest update the RC controller hangs onto telemetry?
Question ! If you fly in door with your Dji Avata ,what mode you use on your controller 2 ? Normal or manual mode .
I'd think manual and turn off sensors so doesn't move itself when senses something. So u can smooth flight.
Please can you share where is a good place to buy naked GoPro. Thank you.
Solid video! Super informative :D Do you know if using a drone with an 03 Air Unit and DJI Goggles V2 still mean you get all of geo fencing limitations?
🤣🤣🤣
@@DronePsychewhat’s so funny.
i hope to go back in fpv this year..i miss flying
Hey mate I wanted to ask if you could share me your helion tune I cannot get out the jello on mine ?
Danny, how do you carry on such beasts as Chimera7 on the airplane?
You should try the ELRS protocol.
Great info 👍
Glad it was helpful!
How does the Avata fly with a GoPro mounted?
Hey Danny, do you use Betaflight or INAV for the two long-range quads? I'm in the process of building a 7" for cinematic long-range flying and am quite confused which would suit me better
He doesn't make them he just buys them, so he probably uses betalight.
This is a great video... I want to do FPV but I'm a cave diver lol, so I use an MP4 for all my drone footage. I'm playing with a Certus Pro (think that's what it's called) just to play around, but I kinda really want a Helion 🤣
What is the camera you are using with Helion?
Googles 2 original antennas are good enough for indoor with multiple walls in a big building?
Yep
So I just got my first drone (Dji mini pro 4) on Black Friday of 2023, fell in love instantly! I just scooped my Dji Avata 2 about 4 days ago and switching from normal drone flight to FPV has completely given me a no profound love for this sport/hobby/way of life 😂 all this said I just want to thank you and give credit where credit is due!!! Your Chanel and videos have been not only very informational/helpful but inspiring as well. Your straightforward genuine approach is refreshing and respected. And that’s my Ted talk😂🤝 keep doing what you do my dude 🫡🤝
what is the best simulator you recommend
tryp, liftoff & uncrashed
Thanks Danny. Pretty accurate video. By the way, was there already a winner on the gopro giveaway?
Not yet - announcing on feb 15th 🤘🏽
@@Mcgeee how can I get it?
Pls, tell me/ make a vid on where to buy cameras from/ where do u get naked Mini cameras from it doesn't have to be a GoPro brand.
btw you sound to nice
Original remote has no display and GPS coordinate on it, so if you loose your quad how you can find?
I have the coordinates in my goggles and can just get the video file there
@@Mcgeee it saves the video with osd with coordinats?
Battery Charger?
Dude! Who’s your editor ?
So you do have an editor? I would like to know who he is! He does a great job and I’m thinking to hire someone that can help me with my job a little bit
Hi, where do you store you Lipos?
I have a small fire safe bag
Ever feel worried flying the nazgul 5 long-ish range with the DJI controller 2?
I'm worried about loosing video and RC signal at the same time.
Looking to move from DI FPV to Nazgul5 soon but the DJI Controller doesnt give me confidence at all.
Run diversity crsf with a tango 2. I run a bardpole, immortal T combination on my rx, an o3 vtx with a runcam 03 antenna
Just switched to ELRS from the DJI controller. After my quad failsafed (and throttled up!) right into my truck when only 10 feet away. I looked into that issue and found I wasn’t the only one with throttle up issues after a failsafe. Before that I experienced control lag when video was dropping mbs, which is usually in not so great scenarios. Lastly the buttons, the worst crashes I’ve had with my quads were hitting the arm disarm on the shoulder by accident. So after 3 accidental disarms, laggy controls, not having enough buttons to set the controller up how I wanted and the 3 big failsafe crashes. Got a boxer max, put ELRS on all my quads and it was the best decision I’ve made so far in fpv. All those problems are gone now and the lower latency in the controls was instantly noticeable and gave me way more Confidence. Make the switch, or crossfire I’m sure would be fine.
@@mwhizzler476 it was your truck but super lucky it wasn't your face ripped apart, those DJI controllers are down right dangerous
@@mwhizzler476 I’m flying the full dji system and have zero confidence so as all your comments have suggested I’m going to ditch it completely and run a new controller. Most likely a tango 2 and crossfire as I like the form factor of the dji controller 2.
Thanks for the help my dudes 🤝🏼
@@stratometer agreed thought it was going to be easier and convenient but as soon as that throttle up incident happened I ordered new controller within a couple days.
Iflight Queen
Why would you need bigger drone and battery for range if ur goggles limits the flight distance anyways? Unless you mean flight time. I can go 6-8 km distance with Mini 3 if I want range.
Would flying analog affect my range and or performance? I don't want to spend $700 on a seperate dji controller and goggles
I’m not personally sure on analog range, but people use analog for long range all the time. If you get the goggles don’t get the controller, get a separate control link. I thought the DJI controller was just gonna be easy no fuss, no needing to become a computer engineer. And it totally was, until all the shortcomings came to light and I could no longer trust it. Get ELRS (or crossfire but gear is tough to get) and never look back.
@@mwhizzler476 I have an elrs radio and am not planning on flying ultra-long range. thanks for the tips!
If money is an issue for you don't even bother with the hobby. FPV is a hug money pit. You've been warned
After many years there is a camera that is better than GoPro. Insta 360 Ace Pro. Only thing is that it is a little heavier.
Bro you are confusing me, you literally have video for every drone to buy and not to buy lol nothing helped me so far.
Hi, thanks for the vid, v good, Quick question: I am building a long range drone which has extended antennas but am using a stock dji controller 2, will this extend the range?
Yeah it will help the visual connection stay longer
I will have 2 antennas, sorry i am new so am not sure but will this stil connect with teh controller
@@Mcgeee
You don’t lose radio if you lose video anymore. They fixed that long ago.
Bro I was so confused when I ordered the 8000 mah battery and it had the 4500 on it. 🤣
That Dji Sbus controller is dangerous if your video glitches so does the radio link to the controller, bad advice
He talked about that in the video...?
Don't do it bro the DJI controller is a bad investment
@@stratometer
Not if you have the DJi Avata?
@@Bollibompa that's firmly in the Dji non user repairable / customisable camp, I love my mini 3 pro too but I can never fly it long range with a low frequency radio as I would like too
@@Bollibompa this dude is flying self buildable self repairable fully customisable fpv frames
Bro, you really fooled me when you said the best drone for begginers was the helion 10"
9:51 I don’t think you can fly over crowds of people even if it’s sub 250g
Depends on the country.
Skip to 1:50
Perfect for billionaire beginners😂
Or, ya know, live in a western country and have a normal job...
Always I feel like this guy is trying to sell something and also his recommendations are not good most of the times. Like who pays him the most?
Who do you recommend is best to listen to? Thank you
Please don't put the CNHL batteries in this video. They definitely do not belong to the best batteries but probably in the category best bang for the buck battery.
What a bad information about the dji remote lol
Hope that i could win that gopro hero 12 aa i want to do filming with my fpv but can't afford a gopro due to money problem.All away full support to Danny bro from India and Indian fpv community.Thank you for doing this giveaway hope could win it.Happy Safe journey for your fpv.
There is no doubt you are an awesome pilot so why would you convince lesser pilots to suffer full loss by recommending substandard dangerous equipment? This post is irresponsible
Wouldn't any reasonable pilot have automatic failsafes configured? What does being able to press a button change?
@@Bollibompa a rth button configuration allows you to test your fail-safe
