#FPVFreestyle #Ethix - Zábava
I would like to start flying FPV and this series of "How to FPV" videos is helping me a lot. Thanks Mr Steele!!!
just want to let you know its a lot of fun, i'm so close to being finished, when building it will a take a lot of research and time especially on your first build. If you have any questions while your building you can let me know if you want my social media.
Trenton Carson id like some help sometime if you don’t mind
Logan yeah, what's up?
Trenton Carson a lot of just general questions that I’m sure are stupid as hell. My discord is UghLogyBear#7527 if you have that. Thx dude
I honestly spent my first year flying with eachine vr d2 and I wouldn't go back and change that. I wasn't sure at the time if I was going to be getting into fpv as much as I am now. For $60 they did the job and got me addicted. Now I own HDOs. I still use the eachine box goggles to share the experience with others.
I've been flying for about a year now. I sort of stumbled through learning to fly and getting gear and now I'm working on *really* learning to fly and getting the *right* gear. I have to say that this video series has been super useful and has clarified a lot. Thanks!
You’re the man. This is EXTREMELY HELPFUL. You made me jump from flying phantoms for 6 years, to needing to fly fpv ASAP...thank you!
Dude thanks for making these videos!!!!! Your answering ALL the questions that have been popping into my head and, unanswered, have been preventing me from taking the plunge and buying something.
So stoked!! I bought a bugs 3 as a first drone,so I learned in two weeks how to fly somewhat? Now thanks to you Mr Steele,I want to go FPV.I love to build things. Watching your videos put every thing in prospective Thank you
These series are so helpful for us people just starting, I get excited every time you release a new video. I bought a taranis, trained over a hundred hours in the sim, bought a whoop as you suggested, and box googles (eachine ev800d) because at the end of the day I feel I'm still gonna use them because they can transform into a monitor (already modded my taranis to hold the monitor). Thanks so much for explaining everything so easily, it means a lot to me! I cant wait to learn more stuff and become a 100% pilot!!!
Might I suggest a “Field Kit” episode. Having started FPV this year, I didn’t know what to bring with me at the beginning. Simple things like extra screws or a screw driver to tighten screws. I don’t know if you want to go as far as mobile chargers and portable soldering irons, but some basic things to keep you flying might be a good idea since we will probably crash a few times
Thank you so much! Wanting to fly fpv and shopping for parts is intimidating given the prices. So listening to someone who knows and is experienced in FPV is really appreciated.
I was gonna make my first build to go 5 miles away and spy on my grandma. Dammit, I'm out.
i want to see your bild but not to spy on my grandma to spy on a female that likes chikens up her holes
@@rundomstaf2511 Weird flex, but ok.
@@SamBischof dont worry I am already spying on your Grandma
@@dividingbyzerofpv6748 My grandmas are in heaven. Tell them 'sup.
@@SamBischof sup
Epic series so far. Been wanting to get into FPV for a while now but have had no luck trying to find everything I need on my own. This is the best help I could ask for!
I think just about anyone getting started should begin with something like the eachine ev800 box goggles. Yea they are bulky but they are cheap and look good. Big screen and diversity for under $100. I have personally tried fat sharks and still prefer the box goggles. For me sitting in the front row gives me the best feeling of immersion. Plus i dont think recommending such expensive equipment to someone new is a good idea. If the barrier to entry is too high most ppl are just going to walk away.
I think a lot of reviewers have gotten so used to the best (and often free) stuff they dont realize how much fun can be had on the cheap. My buddy got a wizard on sale, ev800 and a jumper radio. With a few batts he spent less than $300 all in and is having a blast. Will he upgrade later probably but if he was looking at spending a grand just to get started he probably wouldnt have tried.
Yea i agree. Ive been rocking the ev100s for a while, they're really comfortable and have great reception.
I think this series is for people who want to take the hobby seriously
What about the fatshark scout? It's twice as much as the recon and if it's something that you'll inevitably upgrade it seems pointless.
@@benkatz8999 Seems like you imply that people can't do serious FPV with box googles
@@benkatz8999 oh dont be a snob.. this series is for new fliers, not experienced users wanting to upgrade. Why the fuck would I spend a grand on something I've never tried but am interested in. Mr.Steele and many others goals with videos like these are to help spread the sport. Sticking your nose in the air and acting pompous does the opposite.
The How to FPV is the best series for beginners. Great job!
I want to thank you so much, for explaining how to stay low to the ground
when learning to fly. because after 6 months of trying to fly to high, I tried that and now I can fly!!
you are the master.
This is a great video series full of the info I wish I could of had 3 years ago haha. I was that beginner that started on the low end and coulda/shoulda bought a better radio, better antennas, better quad. Now I'm at the point where I try to keep people that are interested in the hobby from making the hundreds of dollars wasted mistake I did, buy a good to great radio, goggles, batteries, chargers. If you start out very cheap it will cost you in the long run. Thanks for the constant knowledge brother!
I really do appreciate the information I've been going back and forth on getting goggles and not sure which goggles to get but I've actually made up my mind because of this video and getting the HD deals appreciate your straightforwardness if that's even a word but thanks again I appreciate this whole series actually thank you looking forward to more interesting series and videos
My first pair of goggles was Eachine VR D2 Pro box. I always thought my camera was out of focus. Another thing I noticed is that when I was recording there was a quite noticeable lag in the video. I just got Fat Shark HDOs today based largely on your points of consideration and I'm so glad I did. I now understand that it was never my camera that was out of focus. No more lag while recording and I have much more confidence with my flying as I can see clearly. I regret wasting the $80 on the VRD2s in the first place. At least my kids can now ride along. Mr Steele has good advice if you know you're in it for the long haul. Thanks Mr Steele!
I started in Feb '18 and deviated from Steele's recommendations a little bit with a 3" instead of a Whoop and with box goggles. A few months later I had HD3s and a Whoop. So yeah, the How To FPV series is wisdom that's worth following, even if you don't yet fully understand why it's wise.
I did the same 2 years ago and now have a whoop, qx7 and fatsharks. He's pretty spot on with what you should get.
Same here boys got frsky radio fatsharks hd3 and 5inch Alien and of course it’s a mr Steele Version
Started 2years ago with a 5" and box goggles... today I have... a 5" and the same box goggles, so I didn't exactly follow this plan. Lol
All this is gibberish to me, but I really would like to get into this. I have some sick places close by home I could fly over and check out. Could launch right off my balcony and check places out!
I appreciate your unapologetic approach to offering advice. Sure, I may not agree with everything you've suggested, but I'm not the guy with years of applied experience and over 200,000 subscribers am I? The EV800D will always make a good companion set if you can afford it. When you start flying, your friends are going to want to see what you see, and since you can use them like goggles or a screen, it can be more entertaining for groups. That said I couldn’t agree more: if you can only afford 1 set, get a decent set.
Thanks for the series Steele
Completely awesome overview and wise advices for less experienced pilots. Unfortunately I watched Mr Steele's videos a little late and I've wasted some money. Now I need to rebuy some stuff. Great great job! Hope you make reviews about new skyzones and fatshark altitude.
Thanks for putting this series together. QX7 just arrived and just waiting to get some goggles. Keep the vids coming.
Hey man, just ordered my QX7, what goggles would you suggest and which mini drone> Mobula 7 HD?
big up and thank you for this intro series .. super helpful its appriciated!
History in the making right here dude! great vids man your gonna help alot of peeps!!!
I jumped in with HD2's, partly because I'd seen you (Steele) fly with them, I figured with your flying competence you've been flying quads for a while and had tried various sets on the market, eventually settling on the HD2's.
I'm still rocking mine today, 2 years on :) But now with a black HDO faceplate+strap because my fan+foam+strap all wore out.
thank you for all of your "How to FPV" series. its helped me so much.
I totally appreciate this . TidwellFPV lent me the OG FS Teleporters and I was amazed by first hand experience how the Old Schools like Charpu and Ummagawd could do what they did with those Oculars . The Goggles are most important indeed . 👌
Agreed, I'm stuck and may have to choose box goggles like the VTX Viper for glasses. I would like the immersive field of view. Some Fat Sharks you can get lenses for but not sure how that works.
Dude this is a straight up awesome video series!!
This is actually very good video. Very informative. I see you enjoyed it more than the ethix videos you put out recently. I like it. Thanks!
Greetings from germany! Unfortunately I didn't understand all that you said, but I love this fpv stuff since I saw one Video from you..
I was waiting for this one! and that's just all I needed to know !
Awesome series - Time to take my flying to the next level. As I am a photographer, and shoot video I don't need to go fast much but you just can't beat having more confidence and something fun to do on yucky days when I can't fly. all the while gaining experience.
Thanks for your videos! I've already purchased a controller, frame, motors, escs, pdb, and fc since I started watching your videos a few weeks ago! I'm going KISS!
Can't wait for the Banggood rant in the next video lol
I hope he rants on gearbest. Bg is nothing compared to them
Why?
my banggood drone hauls ass
Finn Johnson grrr bang bad man
@@alanssnack1192 yeah but it was probably a stolen design which robs the innovator. i unfortunately had to figure this out myself also.
great video, ive been flying for years but i still like hearing different opinions. good knowledge
Dude you’re a fast talker. But tons of great info in 15 minutes. thanks.
Loved this episode, I've been wondering about the different Fat Shark models as there are so many varients, cheers
Shit. Mr Steele became really good speaker. No montage here, no mistakes. Good to watch/listen.
green hat and fancy mustache... you're Luigi
Nice videos, btw... extremely informative and greatly appreciated
Good stuff Steel👍Thanks for sharing. By the way... I Dig the whole Beerfest look bro😁PEACE
Steele, can you do a full video on setting up your antennas and video transmitters? Stuff like different polarizations? Channel selections as well as different radio signals? More of the tech side of things would be greatly appreciated
Wow this is a really good video explaining the options on FPV goggles.
Thanks bro!! I have an qx7 and a hd3 used and am pretty happy with this setup! probably I am going to use it until "HD fpv format" is happening!! (Lol) thanks for those type of videos.. I learn something today damit!!
Nice series of videos Braahhh. Well done
I'm just getting into fpv and im in the process of building my very first quad (any advice on the build) and these videos are helping me a lot in my decisions on what gear to buy, massive thanks Mr Steele
Your ability to provide knowledge in a form we can understand is still the best.
You linked the FuriousFPV 2.4, but I have a feeling you meant to link the FuriousFPV 5.8 which is cheaper and what we use mostly. Keep up the good work
I like the fat shark dominator v2 (terminator skin). It looks dope and I would buy it. I am a newbie too. I don't have an y experience in fpv and this series is helping me to get into the hobby without spending all off my parent's money and let down their hope of me being a fpv pilot.
Dear Mr. Steel, thank you for mentioning spending a little more for goggles and I completely agree with literally everything you stated. I learned the hard way. I went cheap and listened to my UAVFuture friend and his choice of goggles and got aomway v1 commanders. Soon, I realized this was a mistake and bought a pair of fat shark hdo’s. The someways were $250 and it wasn’t worth it. I recommend spending the money on fat sharks and also I still recommend people don’t buy a Qx7.. but instead spend more and buy x9d plus from Taranis. It made my life easy when I wanted to upgrade to crossfire micro and was plug and play. I’d recommend the HDO’s for rapidfire plug and play $$$$ 💰 💴 💵 .
Jass I waited for this episode so loong🥳
Man your contents so good , from flying to educating . Its going to help improve my videos alot , i thank you sir !
Part 6 please !!
Great content.
Greetings from Mexico.
whoa long series. Yo I've been rocking the 40$ eachine vr007 since i started like a year ago and i get range and i still rip!!!!.I am saving up for hd3's but the bills man =[
YOU DON'T NEED FATSHARKS TO START FPV! although its highly encouraged! I've learned a lot with the 40$, but I've used my friends HD3'S and it made me into a better pilot. The resolution you get from fatsharks helped me see a lot i cannot see in my 40$ goggles.
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
man, I tried skyzone and flysight goggles after having a box set that came with a crappy hubsan storm. after wasting money on the other sets, and having a hell of a time cause of latency, resolution and fov issues I found a set if hd3 with rapidfire reciever. now it's much better view, less likely to outfly the video and light weight. sure it was expensive and not the oled of the hd0 but I wanted larger fov and still high quality. it's seriously one of the most important investments for fpv
thank you for this video series! so helpful!!!
Steele, your Starshys gyro is off by a couple degrees :'D but epic videos. Love it and keep it up!
When I started fpv a big disapointment for me was that the goggles were not very immersive at all. I expected it to be like being virtual reality but in fact it is more like watching a tv from a far in the dark... Now I am used to it, but the first time I was really disapointed. Just to let you know what to expect. Great video!
Bro.. was you even flying before this or did you just get blinged out for us with that sexy green TX strap.?? 🤔 lol .
Couldn't agree more on the 50 deg. Screen vs rhe new HDO's guess we're spoiled now.... no going back.. good thing I picked up an extra pair A...
Love ya brother ! 🤘🤪
Thanks for the video, Bought the teleporter V5’s to see if I would like FPV, I’m a old line of sight fixed wing guy but now have a few quads and I love it, definitely time to upgrade my head gear but it’s so confusing on what to get.
Glad you have do e this series appreciate the content.
Well... I love my Eachine EV800D. 😊
And I'm going to buy the Eachine VRD3 to try it out... Then I'm going to keep one and give the other for my father, according to his preference. 😊
Damn, I didn't even know Justin Bieber flew drones! 🤣
So wish I had this video when I started.
When I started I bought a fly sky radio or whatever it is called. I ended up buying a new radio because it struggled to transmit far +it only had like one good compatible receiver(it was still trash). Also bought a cheap pear of Banggood goggles, they ended up being extremely hard to fly with. eventually I ended up buying a pair fat sharks. So I basically burned $200+ trying to save money.
If you know you are going to love this hobby GO FOR THE BEST you will ends up loosing money trying to save it trust me.
Same with me 😂
You can trust Luigi. Ive had the same exact gear for almost 3 years now. At this point I really need to upgrade to a new Taranis bc I have worn mine OUT. I took his advice back in the day when I started, with a Rotor Riot 5"Alien with KISS FC & now I have 2 of those & a Steez. Apart from smashing things irresponsibly, most of these parts can withstand crashes & provide you a long life of usage.
Good job keep it rolling!
I have the first Fatshark Dominator HD's for 3.5 or 4 years now. little blury around the edges but i still love them!
Yooooo continue! I’m ready
first goggles i got like 4 months ago were eachine 800D giant box goggles as i couldnt afford fatsharks, luckily my family worked together to get me HDO's for christmas and im blown away by them even on an old achilles module i was able to source locally, cant wait to til its not freezing outside to fly more lol
Get a tiny whoop and you don't have to stop flying 😁
Ashley Clements lol I got one but it’s nowhere near as much fun
Very true
love this video series !!! thx
I went with the HDO because having flown a friends HD3, I liked them but found I was eye tracking just a little too much for my corner OSD stuff. FOV is definitely a user preference thing, I'm very happy with the less FOV of the HDO
Thanks for the info! There's something I can't seem to find online though: Will FPV goggles connect to any drone that can connect to a phone? At least assuming the goggles come with a built in receiver? I'm specifically wondering about the Contixo F24 pro. I think it works with a 5ghz bandwidth.
Please if you are starting in FPV make yourself a favor and buy the EACHINE EV800D, There is absolutely no contest in the Best value entry level goggles.
i agree
1 year later i bought the EV800D and i can tell you not bad
Happy you said that just ordered my eachine Ev200d true diversity
I ordered EV800DM, from what I seen it can be even cheaper and its better
Awesome video series so far. Just want to point out that Fatsharks are good for their recommended IPDs only! I have a wide face and its an actual problem getting blurry visuals. I really hope they release an extended IPD range version for a goggle soon.
Their is this man named Mr Steele,
He helps us noobs with his shpeal!.
Can't think of anything else lol.
Fantastic video just a shame it wasn't out before crimbo!.already got the Dom v3 16:9 I love em non the less.
Keep on keeping on ;-)
Massive FANK Q for all your wisdom that you share.
Great again thank u for the good inf u giving us I'm new so anything to make the experience a great one .
I'm watching the movie Upgrade right now the villain looks like Mr. Steele! haha
Love the videos, they've been super helpful. I can't be the first to say this but I could put a set of goggles you're not using to some use 😎
I just brought my first set of fat sharks HDV2. I rocked a quantum V2 for the last few years. Box Goggle was great. 80-90% that of a fatshark. But fatsharks are portable, and have the modules.
STEELE - Do a video on Solder Iron, heat guns, shrink wrap and proper gauge of wires. It took me a while to get all of these things sorted out when I first started.
Great Video! I can also recommend the Topsky Prime 1s. It's new in the market and has a very decent reciever and 480 screens for each eye for 70 bucks. In my opinion it's the best beginner goggle
again a good video for beginners! 👍
Hey Steele, I began with flying and I got the Attitude 2 from a friend. I want to buy some new, but I don't know which one to buy :/ When you have to decide between the Attitude V4, HD2 or the HD3, which one would you choose, in fact of price, the price-performance ratio etc.? I would be very happy about an answer! Greetings from Germany :)
I gotta say your right. Going the cheap way is the most expensive way in the long run. When i first started, metally i was going the cheapest way, i bought 40$ goggles.they were ok but not cutting it, i went and bought a screen that was 60$, didnt cut it, i got some cheap 100$ box goggles, they worked ok but really heavy bulky and not enjoyable. I have now spent 200 some dollars. I have now bought the skyzone sky02. Im loving it and it was 269$. I could have soent the 269 the first time instead of what i did spending 469 going the cheap way. So really its the longer expensive way that is just not worth it. Get the good stuff first, youll have a good experience.
I did the same.. bought cheap box goggles, more expensive box goggles, then finally got the commanders.. could have saved myself nearly 200 quid if i just got the commanders first.
HippyRich FPV lol, also whats a quid. It sounds like squid
Very comprehensive and logically presented video. Nice job.
This is good my buddy wants to get into fpv and I'm still new so I'll send him to these vids.
Good Vid Steel...informative...well spoken...
I have a pair of Fatshark HD2 and Aomway Commanders. Love my Fatshark goggles, but still prefer the Aomway. I'm always surprised when Aomway's aren't even mentioned. If I was on a budget and could only buy 1 pair, I'd buy the Aomway's. Great goggles.
Informative video Steele, thanks. I notice you take the antennas off your goggles for storage, are there any concerns about wear on the SMA connectors on the antennas / receiver by repeatedly connecting and disconnecting the antennas?
In the beginning I knew goggles were the one piece of equipment I won't change all that often so I opted for FatSharks (the Dominator HD so you can tell it was quite some time ago). My only experience before with goggles of any kind was the VR1 (some of you might remember those 20+ years old piece :D) and I knew I wanted something at least better than those were. So I collected some money, waited for the Dominator HDs to be available and I bought them for like $900 in the days.
I was pretty happy with them for quite a while. I mean I could watch real 3D videos on them, they had 60-something degrees field of view but ultimately the real disappointment came from the size of the screen. I mean c'mon: is that really what you would call "an immersive experience"??? The screen was blurry as hell on the edges (even the -2 correction lenses didn't do much to solve that), small and with a diversity receiver the battery was done in a matter of 60-70 minutes tops.
Then, a few longer years after, I have discovered the EV800's. I bought them as spares for my son to follow along. Didn't use them even once! Then there was that day when I forgot the FatSharks and only had the big nasty EV800 in my car. I hated them for the size and literally didn't have then on since day one. But man.... when I put them on the screen was... O MY GOD!!! BIG ASS doesn't even begin to describe it! And sharp edge to edge!!!! Later on I found out that the best receiver I have had at that time was not even close when it came to sensitivity compared to the EV800s and so the good old FatSharks are now sitting on the shelf rusting. I personally will never buy anything else as those fit my face perfectly, give me the big-ass screen that I always wanted, sharp image top-to-bottom and left-to-right and with the 800D's DVR (which with all due respect to FatSharks does finally do a good job in recording the feed unlike the FatShark's DVR which is in my opinion a piece of crap) I finally have goggles I can rely on in my FPV adventures.
To bottom line it: I have no fucking idea why people are so amazed by the fatshark goggles. In FPV you rearly (if ever) use the (amazing!!!) Trinity head tracker (awesome piece of engineering btw!!!), you get a small, blurry screen for a price that one could buy not one but at least 4 pairs of EV800Ds. Not to mention (as someone here already pointed out) that you can take them apart and you have a fully functional 5" monitor!
For me, personally, the EV800D is the top of the notch product on the markey Today for more reasons that I can count.
Hi Steele, nice video! Do you have any experience with linear style antenna's? I use them on all of my quads and they come cheap, but on the other hand I only fly around trees and open terrains. Love to hear your opinion and experience. (On my HD3's i have an True-D with an linear antenna and a linear patch antenna.)
Nice video @MrSteele im about to search back to 2014 and find a beginner fpv video of yours lol, u got me curious. i've Been flying for almost 1yr and started on eachine ev800d box googles. The d stands for dvr they are nice because now that i have aomways i can still use the eachines for people who wanna watch me fly and wanna see the fpv feed. the googles splt and the head band and face cover come off and its like a lil tv. was definitely worth the 60 bucks off ebay!
Awesome video bro. I now know what goggles I should get. Thanks to you buddy.
your lighting got very nice !!! congrats on that ....the background on the other side its a mix of grandma firniture and rc stuff ahhahahahhah
Great info for a newbie like myself, I wonder if much has changed in the 2 years since this vid.
Thanks for this video. This really helps.
Do you have experience with USB OTG receivers (for android phones), and do you recommend them as a cheap start? They can be used with VR goggles (like chinese cardboard goggles, gear vr, daydream etc).
Depending on their price, could they provide good image quality, and low latency close to more professional FPV goggles?
Hey, Steele, thx for the video! I'm trying to get into all that FPV stuff and it helps a lot. I got a question for you: you've said that Q X7 is a good radio for beginner, but you also like X9D Plus...what's the main reason behind that? :)
Would be good to hear you talk about first 5inch or your first location and a few does and donts for flying with other people
I recently helped someone into the hobby and sent them to these videos they love it :)
To get the proper fov with Dom V3 use the Foxeer Predator V3 it has 16:9 setting.
I use a set of Fatshark Scouts (box goggle) It has a built in fan, its diversity, and has DVR. I wear glasses and these even have a slot and removeable foam to make wearing glasses a breeze.
What is your camera angle for freestyle? I see a glimpse, of your quad, and it likes like a small angle, relative to what I see with the guys I fly and race with. Thanks.
I'm ready to retire my Headplay box goggles for a set of FS. You've got me thinking that maybe I can save some cash and get HD2 or HD3 to maintain some of the FOV I'm about to lose when I say goodbye to the Headplays. I get the impression it may take me a good number of packs before I'm comfortable flying from the back of the theatre =)
