- FPV comes with great highs but also with great lows. This is an ode to the low moments of the year.
When i started flying about a year ago, i had no idea how frustrating, terrifying and unbelievably fun learning to fly FPV would be.

i am always amazed by how bouncy drones are when you crash into something
When they dont bounce they usually explode in a million pieces 😆
that's called #neverdisarm :)
I came here for the memes but I am amazed on how much you constantly improved with every crash. You basically took the phrase learn from your mistakes literally 😂 congrats. Amazing video
Crash and learn friend, crash and learn... 😆Thank you for this comment, it means a lot.
Came for generic crash video, stayed for really awesome footage and music :)
Thank you for the comment friend. Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is awesome, you really sent it with zero f*cks given and posted it online with all the progression you made. Fun and inspiring! Cheers frome one pilot to the other 🔥✌🏻
Thank you mate, i am glad you had fun watching my crashes 🤣
Youve never given up and has consistently become waaaay lot better than you were before . Nice one bro 🔥❤️
Never give up, never surrender 😂😂😂 Thanks so much for this brother. I am glad the progress shows :D
You just get better n better as the video goes on I love it 🔥
Learned something with every crash probably. And as you can see, i crashed alot 😆
Great video....now lets fly! Thanks for sharing👏
Thank you buddy☺
I like the gradual improvement
Glad you liked the video my friend
Loved it!❤
Great to see the progression from start to the end. All the unnecessary disarms in the beginning to where you're more confident later and tries to save it instead. I can totally relate😂👍🏻
It is so true about those disarms😆 I went from disarming the moment i touch something, to almost eviscerating myself at 6:31 by not killing it fast enough 🤣 Took a while to find the perfect balance. I am glad you enjoyed the video
What a progress and persistant bro! KEEP UP the SPIRIT!
Thank you my friend
This will become my life soon... Ordered the Iflight Nazgul Evoque 6S O3... RadioMaster Boxer ELRS... Awesome to see these. In the meantime, sim crashing all the way!
Just take it easy when you get your quad. With the real thing, It takes a little bit to get as good as your are in the sim and also to get used to the real world physics 😂
Nice progress. You've come a long way. Year one down, bring on year 2 👍 Keep up the good work 👊
Thank you friend, much appreciated. Super excited for what 2023 will bring 😉
Just an amazing improvement, btw, u are crazy for flying like that in the beginning, lol
Thank you my friend. About the beginning, i though that because i could (sorta) pull these things in the sim i can do it with the real thing. Learned by trial and error that this is not the case 🤣
Thanks for sharing your experience! Not everyone has the courage to publicly show their mistakes. Respect!
P.s. I worried about your propellers as if they were mine :)
Thanks for the kind words. Crash and learn my friend 😉 I stopped worrying about my props at around month 3 🤣
keep the spirit up, i totally got a grin on my face remembering my first year ;)
I am glad that you enjoyed the video mate. Thanks for watching
Getting so much better. Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it mate and thank you 🙏
I came for the funny but I'll stay for the high quality of your recent videos, I REALLY enjoyed it. Congratulations for the improvement you made in just one year, have you take any course about cinematography or do you have any background on it?
Cheers from Brazil!
Wow thank you so much for this comment friend, it means a ton 🤗 Regarding the cinematography, i am mainly self taught but i do have Architecture and 3d animation background so things like framing, composition and color contrast were not new to me when i started droning. However combining all that with FPV has been a whole different beast to tackle which i am thoroughly enjoying🙂
If at first... uh, second... no... what number were we on? Anyway, try again! :) I know the feeling. Trees are just DICKS! lol :) I need to get my own crash comp done up... I'm almost afraid to though. lol! You've gained a sub, mate. :) Happy new year!
Much appreciated friend. Crash and learn 🤣 Cant wait to see your own crash comp.
Nice video bro nice to see a real pilot crashing not as easy as this guys make it look.
Crashing = Learning 😆
Keep sending it! Looking good!
Will do! Thank you 🙂
nice video you can see the progression.
Great! Keep Flying :)
Thank you. Will do 😄
Ότι καλητερα έχω δει 😂😂
Ειδικά η μουσικουλα τοπ
Χαίρομαι που σου άρεσε φίλε μου
Sick! For beginners, make sure you've got angle mode on one of your switches and just switch to it when you feel out of control. The quad will at least right itself.
This might also help in some cases when you loose video. Quickly switch to angle mode, take the googles off and LOS it if you can 😉
Feels oh so familiar. Did the same accidental disarm right at the beginning. nice improvement.
thank you mate ❤
Really good video, fun to watch!
Thanks, glad you had fun 😆
Brutal!
Lol the drone engine sounds are so cute when it tries to compensate. Did any of the batteries catch on fire in the crashes?
Haha i know right?🤣 Fortunately no fires... yet.
I love this video, it gives me confidence for my next flight :)
Glad to hear that mate 😁
Very comprehensive crash reel. I have to say that you throw some mental tricks and then when you save it, then the results are epic. The list of destroyed gear is also pretty solid. Great flying despite the crashes. I probably fly way too soft and that is the only reason for the low amount of crashes. Kudos!
Thank you for this great comment.🙏 In my experience, crashes usually occur either because you are pushing your own limits or due to bad judgement. Both of which are imperative for your own personal growth as a pilot. But the no1 most important thing is to get as much stick time as you possibly can soft or not. Fly the way you want to fly and progress will come.♥
Subbed, Loved watching this, really see your progression, looks like you have had a better year than me, this is what FPV is really about if your learning to fly, fully enjoyed the vid.
I am delighted that you enjoyed the video friend. Thanks for the sub
Loved seeing the progress! I’m 10 months in and wish I saved footage from when I started.
Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed the video 😁
super video my man !!! 👍
Appreciated my friend.
Ups.... nice edit mate, greetings team #bckflp
Thank you 🙏
I love to see how you try very high level tricks, it´s amazing, i will try it to. Amazing video
Thank you mate, i a glad you enjoyed it. Happy flying
Wonderful compilation 😆👏👏. Perfect with the music and the summary of all disasters at the end 🆒🏆🆒
Thank you friend. I am glad you enjoyed it
wow
I'm glad it's not just me.
Damn mate, at what point did you realize that it would be better to practice in the simulator? Or you just really enjoy soldering and troubleshooting broken parts? This is a hell of a crash reel, and it looks like you had a blast flying. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha i am glad you enjoyed it mate 🤣Actually the simulator never stopped being a core part of my weekly FPV routine, either due to bad weather or because i want to try something new. I am not that big of a soldering fan to be honest, i see it as necessary thing i have to do to get out and fly. But boy do i love flying... I know that the crashes seems like a lot, but you got to consider that within the last 12 months i ve flown probably more than 1000 packs. When i started, there were days were i would fly 20 packs a day 😅
at the end I thought you actually didn’t break that much stuff until i saw 8 batteries?!?! the batteries alone made me question my entrance into the fpv realm but too late now lol
Well I fly almost every day and on Spring days i sometimes flew morning and afternoon sessions. So these batteries had hundreds of cycles before they gave up.😂 Treat your batteries right and they can last but also got to consider them an expendable commodity.
Bro how many props got busted. Just wondering
@@harkeeratsingh4829 too many to count mate hahaha
Super video.... 😜👋✌
Thank you
really nice video :D
Thank you buddy
@@tooclosetothesun_fpv can i ask you a question? Do you have a Instagram ? And if yes whats your name on it?
@@martinfpv9367 instagram.com/tooclosetothesun_fpv/
Oh man. My 5" will arrive in the next week's. The avata got me hooked and now I can't wait to abuse a freestyle quad. The avata has taken so much bad beats from trees and ground but held up pretty strong. I guess I should get a hand full props upfront. Thanks for this honest compilation. Oh and great progress and impressive maneuvers.
Thanks for the comment friend. Which 5'' quad are you getting? Remember that a 5'' is a whole different beast than the Avata. Gotta take it easy with your newly found power and yes you are gonna need lots and lots of props🤣 My advice would be to buy a few different props to try before you decide whats right for you. I am using different props if i fly on a cold day vs a warm day for example.
@@tooclosetothesun_fpv ordered a iflight Nazgul evoque 5" in deadcat design with the o3 as well as a beefy charger, 6 1400mah lipos and some random stuff like lipo bags etc. I am so excited to get that beast armed and up in the air, just to squeeze it though trees and put the expensive toy with my eyes on bord at risk. I actually started somewhere around June with an mini 3 pro. This drone was so advertised and well received, I just ordered it and thought it will be an good entrance into drones. Just to realize a few days into cruising landscapes. It is nice but to be honest: boring. I got a tiny whoop. Betaflight Cetus Pro. I realized quickly how fucking difficult it will get to actually control such a device. The the avata released. I have never spend more money without a single thought than at this thing. And it held up with my expectations: I started to get used to the goggles and flying with the motion controller. That was already a breeze at a level so much above anything else I have experienced and I knew there is so much more thrill to expect. Switched to the remote controller and the slowly into getting controll over the acro mode. To be honest, I never got the hang on the sims, since they felt so far off the actual physics, it simply made no sense to me. So the avata had to take it all. And it did. It looked most times more like a lawnmower drenched in wet dirt than a sensitive bunch of high tech electronics. During the last week's, I have more and more often hit the safety features, since the avata is more a cinewhoop than a proper freestyle quad. The controller pulled the plug mid air on so many manuvers, it got annoying. I knew, it was time to move on. Do you fly for content or a living or is it also just a spare time love? For me it is a hobby that fits right now pretty well into my small time slots between 2 toddlers and work. Whenever there is a spare hour, no rain, charged batteries and not to much wind I find my self behind the sticks. Once again: Thanks for your inspiring and relatable content.
@@LarsEchterhoff What a story! And in some ways quite similar to mine. I started in November 2021 with a cheap MJRC BUGS20 gps drone which i unceremoniously lost in the sea on the first week 🤣Then i bought a mini2 which is when i first fell in love with droning and aerial cinematography. It was during that time that i first saw an FPV video and i was like " wtf is that? thats what i wanna do!" It took me about a month to figure out how to even begin FPV and what setup i want to start with and during that month i literally lived in the simulator. I had over 40-50 hours in the sim before i first flew my 5'' for the first time. I agree with you that no sim has managed to nail down the physics but imo it is a priceless tool to build up some rudimentary muscle memory and try out new rates. I still go back to the sim to learn new tricks before i try them out with the real thing. Regarding doing this for a living, I mostly fly for the enjoyment of it but what started out as a hobby, is slowly turning into something much more 😉
@@tooclosetothesun_fpv hehe. Yeah, there were definitely similarities. I had a question... But I recently stumbled upon a video by a guy who gave me probably a push in the right direction. Maybe you can affirm that. I have still hard times to dose my throttle and maintain an even altitude while flying near the ground. As well as not "jump" out of a split-s. I do use the DJI remote controller. That particular guy said, the sticks off the controller are rather short. So the resolution and right dose of input is hard to controll. This made totally sense to me and I ordered longer sticks since I planned to use the DJI Controller also on my upcoming drones. This is at least my current plan... Still want to keep it simple and not carry a load of heavy stuff around. The dji controller is small, easy and simple to use with the o3 system. But this is just my uneducated wishful thought on the matter. Maybe you have some hints or advices for me to share.
@@LarsEchterhoff I had this "throttle control" issue when i started ( and occasionally i still do) where you kinda bunny hop when trying to maintain altitude but i ve become a bit better at controlling it. My solution to this was to give the throttle a little bit of expo and make it a little more sluggish for the first few months before i reverted back to a linear throttle. This trick helped me a lot while i was getting more confident flying because in my opinion this is mainly a confidence problem. You are afraid that you are gonna hit the ground and you over correct and punch out more than you have to. The longer sticks could potentially help you but what will REALLY help you is simply lots and lots of flight time. Unfortunately there is no easy way out of this. What i would suggest is to find a spot with a low ceiling like an underground parking lot or a park with low trees to fly under which will force you to be more mindful of your throttle. Also try to fly 1-2 packs per session LOS cause it helps when you actually see what the drone is doing relative to your input. I hope this helped a bit, happy flying 😉
I am only 4 months into this sport/hobby but this is so LOL true for them first few weeks.
I dont think it ever stops brother 😄
Hahah well nah right you build confidence then just take more risks then crash equally bad if not worse haha
@@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh Exactly 😆
Wow !!!😅😂
I felt all this pain
Feels like pain is an integral part of this hobby 😅
this really makes me want to get a 5"
If you can afford it, do it brother. Best decision i ve made in 2022 😉
Was entertaining to watch-- Haha. Sorry no laughing, how many repairs/$$ from a year of learning?
i believe i estimated it to about 400-500euros for my first year🙃
@@tooclosetothesun_fpv I'm looking into getting an FPV set up for faster shots.. I'll definitely be in that same boat sooner than later 🤣
@@AMS_Dronez Enjoy the amazing ride that is learning to fly FPV
What's the average price of the crash? I guess, it should be much cheaper, than a crash of DJI drone, right?
That is a tough one to answer. On average yes, crashing a carbon frame FPV quadcopter is cheaper that crashing a DJI drone but you have to do all the repairing and troubleshooting yourself. The cost of a crash can vary from a few cents if its just a broken prop, to a couple hundred if you fry the electronics. Having said that, FPV quads are built to withstand a lot of abuse 😂
I suspect a few broken motors on them concrete smacks lol
Actually the motors i broke happened on tree crashes 😆 Concrete was more brutal lol, that's where i broke my frame and my Action2
@@tooclosetothesun_fpv Damn , I never broke a frame or arm yet and i've hit some stuff real hard. I have hit cast iron train wheels , steel , concrete , tarmac lol
I gotta crash harder
Been
there
Your next comp should be a hip hop (not rap) themed one using the quad sounds as turntable scratching...🤭
Will take it into consideration 😂
i don't know but from watching this video i feel like this is a really heavy quad
how much does it weight?
When i had the gopro hero8 on it, it must have weighted around 750-800grms. I have now switched to the dji action2 for freestyle to shed some weight off the quad
What is ur drone setup?
Apex5 HD. My whole gear list is on the description
I can feel the pain from your wallet. But nice job you definitely learned in 2022
yeap, my wallet did hurt indeed 🤣 all part of the learning process i guess 😆
Where you on a simulator before this?
Before and after 🤣 The simulator is something i still go back to maybe a couple times a week to try things out or when the weather is bad and i cant go out and fly
What Drone do you use to handle all these crashes lmao
Most of my crashes are with my 5inch APEX HD. However the Cinelog 35 has had it's fair share of crash and tumble 😂
Mostly grass fall.
@@jeffclassics Indeed. I have only 2 concrete crashes in the video where i totaled my apex on the one and cracked my Action2 on the other. 🤣 It is a conscious decision to fly mainly in more forgiving areas until i become more confident
Its true with this hobby you spend equal time fixing and rebuilding lol
Yeap, great highs and great lows lol. The worst is when you break something vital on the first couple of packs and you are left with all these charged batteries like " now what?" 🤣
howdy?.Too~ ureal ! ))
Greek Power LOL.
WTF were you doin Bro😂
Crashing... ehm... learning repeatedly obviously 🤣
Nice !!!
Thank you 😊
