Learning FPV Drone Freestyle (In One Week!)
Vložit

- FPV freestyle takes drone flying to a whole other level... with flips, spins, dives, and a whole bunch of impressive tricks that require extreme precision to pull off. This week I tried to get better at it.

Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! What tricks should I learn next?
Inverted yaw spinz Boiiii!
Great fun!🤪
Happy Christmas
Rewinds
Merry Christmas
Great video you progressed wonderfully but now I would like to see a power slide. Trust me you're going to love it
For a second, I was scratching my head trying to figure out, how you were getting video on TX 16 monitor.
lol
@@eagle7015 lol
Make sure you cut the throttle completely on the inverted yaw spins and it should be more floaty
Edit: using dynamic idle then turning down your idle percentage will give you even more hang time.
Great tip, also the faster you spin the faster you fall. Try a slower yaw spin once you're inverted
@@skyhackerfpv7104 Both of these tips are good and even an experienced pilot can still forget to go to full zero throttle.
What he said... cut throttle when inverted... Side note: Up-Tilt is our friend! Amazing!
The kwad actually spins 2 of the 4 props to create a yaw motion. So even if you go to zero throttle you'll have some acceleration towards the ground. It's difficult to incorporate into a flow as you typically need the extra height.
@@bandobandit353 3D, there i fixed it for you.
man, you were so lined up for the flagpole gap on the last run! Saw your brain tell you punch it and your fingers bailoff the side haha. looking slick af out there.
None of your tricks were perfect after a single week, but that imperfection made that last clip more relatable to watch. It made me want to go get better myself. You got me into this hobby, and I'm super thankful for it. Keep kicking ass man!
Oh for sure... no one's gonna become a pro in a single week!
honestly.... Being a complete beginner in FPV myself, I find this kind of videos way more helpful. Seeing guys ripping all the time doesn't really help understand where I'm on the hobby and ways to improved. Thank you for your video.
I really like how you put the flight footage on top of the radio, haven't seen that before
That was Wild Willy FPV during those clips.
I like it too, but i may confuse some people which are new to fpv
Hi! This shit is hard!!
I think object tracking feature in premere/after effects should do it
Thanks for sharing your journey, I’m not in the sky as of yet but your videos gave me hope that I’ll be ok when I do. Thanks again!
Fun video, great job man!
What is nice about FPV freestyle is the style is personal. Every flight an fpv pilot takes is a good flight. Great video!
Spend some time in the sim. It will drastically help learning new tricks
Which sim
@@CWsolomerx i like liftoff
@@scuzzyfpv me too, some people say it doesnt fit their rates, but i find it extremely accurate
@@oddarntnes7079 yea rates are accurate
I just started on the DRL and first day couldn't control it. Now everyday I'm flying better and soon gonna buy a fpv
Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Easily one of my favorite FPV related channels. Just wish you posted more!!! Haven’t even watched the vid yet but figured I’d share for the algorithm. Super excited for this one!
the best is still yet to come keep flying keep improving best of luck!
Nice flying! Thanks for the video. I always enjoy your videos. Hope you have a great holiday!
Hey Matt! Great to see you posting! Happy Christmas!
Off to watch the video now.
Wow! That was a well made video ! Keep them coming !
Great video Matt!! I'll be using this as a reference when I starting learning freestyle. You're a GREAT content creator keep up the good work👍👍
Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉
Great vid Matt... nice progress in a week! Keep practicing !
Great video on how to structure your flying, and working on specific tricks! Liked and subbed thanks! 👍
Awesome, thanx for motivating me.
Nice progress, man! In such a short time too. It's awesome to see other pilot's progress through their journey's of this surreal sport. Keep sending!
Love your work. Keep them coming
Matt, It has been very productive and you have given us not only information about the progress of the practice using the practice but you have also given us the sensations of this hobby, enthusiasm, frustration, excitement and desire to learn ... thank you very much. A great Christmas present.
Glad you like it!
Lit! thank you, I needed this!
Merry Christmas!!!
I'll learn along with you. Let's get so good together
Nice job. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video love the approach. Really enjoyed it felt much like my own experience.
great video, thanks for sharing
Your videos are so good man - so much info, so much production value
You did bloody well for your first time! FPV is a whole new ball game!
Great seeing you finally learning freestyle (and looking liky a way happier person doing it)!
On the inverted yaw spin: try turning slower, it reduces the acceleration drastically - start with 180°
Awesome videos from the beginning!
This was awesome man! I've wanted to build an FPV drone for awhile and do a combo of freestyle and cinematic shots to edit up to my beats. With Christmas coming up, I figured now was the time to start practicing. So I ordered a transmitter that will be here tomorrow so I can start practicing in sims, then build one with Christmas money. Lol. Your videos have been helping me a ton!
Yo! Cool seeing my footage in here. :) Great content man, glad to see more people getting into the greatest hobby on planet earth!
Your really getting there!
Reminds me a lot of Bardwell's "3 pack-a-day challenge", where he's been doing similar specific practice flights in 3 packs a session. It definitely fits with some of the best theories on intentional practice and how to become an expert in just about anything.
Wow! That was awesome! You totally killed it on day 7!!!
Huge improvement, very noticeable, I don't even know you but I'm so proud of you!!!
Always quality videos!!
I love your clear And Simply videos.
Good video. Thank you.
Very nice! You're making some great progress.
Awesome flying on the last day. Wow!!!
Awesome video . I loved seeing the progression in one week ! Your should do a 7 day race video and practice flying some race gates . I’ve found flying a race course helps with freestyle and precision flying in general . I’ve also found freestyle helps my racing !
Well done. Quite inspiring
Great improvement for just one week! You've motivated me to try some new moves. :)
I'm really impressed with your editing
Good progress and flying!
U never stop learning.... Merry Christmas lad,
Sweet progress dude!
you are one of the main reasons i got into this hobby and i am loving it!
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks!
Honestly, the easiest way to get better at freestyle is to just put hours and hours in the sim. I prefer Liftoff since the maps are the most diverse (I find each map lends itself to different skills in freestyle). No need to crash your drone or wait for batteries to charge, just get that muscle memory and it will transfer to real life with some fine-tuning.
Dude, wow, great job! That is fantastic work for a weeks practice, hope you decide to stick with it. Subbed so I can see!
Nice man I'm getting mine next wee . I've learned.alot thanks ssubed
Nice video and storytelling as always. Even though the content was not new to me I really enjoyed watching the video and see your progress. I have to practice my freestyle as well 😂
Have a happy Christmas Matt, thanks for another upload and taking the time to document your journey
Glad you like it!
I'm 3 months in and the biggest leap forward happened when I ditched my back yard for the soccer fields.
When learning on a 4s 5" the biggest advantage to learning is wide open space.
Love watching your channel grow, good job man; and great video
Thanks!
Bro 👊!
You just made my day!
In the last months I started getting regretted of having bought my drone most of all because here in where i live there are not cool spots to fly over or interesting things to record
But after watching your video wow!!
I guess It made my realised that I just need a couple of trees and practice my moves to get fun and make a scene interesting
Thank you lot for this video man!
🙏🙏
Great video my man. I'm at right now where you were on your first day of FPV freestyle. I'm going to practice more tricks on Volocidrone SIM and just get more stick time in gereral. Thanks for the vids.
Enjoyed your video from start to finish. I think I might give these tricks a go 🤩
great stuff man, love your atitude
I liked this video alot, it was very entertaining! Never seen you videos, so I subbed! 👍🏻
A thing that helped me doing powerloop was to hold the quad in my hand and emulate the power loop, while doing that looking at where the camera was pointed when I needed to go backwards, and then trying to visualize what the image in the goggles would look like at that point... Ohh and sure alot of practice too😅
love it. dont forget to sim it helps a lot really and you can get in a quick half hour any time.
Nice video 💪😃👍 thx 👊
I really love your videos I always check the notification bell for your vids and when you I always get excited as they are fun and relaxing to watch!! wish you all the best, And Merry Christmas!!
I appreciate that man!
I could definitely see your improvement in the last flight! great video, I was very entertained! Inspires me to try to get moar gud at freestyle myself, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles with those inverted yaw spins! Subbed!
Pssst, cut throttle. If that doesn't help your dynamic idle might be a little too high.
Nice tutorial mate. You have given me new hope ! 🍻👍👊🎖🏁
Inverted yaw spins were the bane of my existence for probably a months worth of trying to nail it. After a combo of higher rates, lower idle rmp, and lower camera angle it was way easier. Lowering the idle reduced the downward pull and making the camera closer to level made the motor plane closer to being parallel with the ground, dampening the wobbling feeling you tend to get. I still can’t really incorporate it into my flow really well. it always feels forced or like an afterthought, like I have to take time to line it up and don’t really know how to transition in/out of it from other moves.
This video is great - so much progress in 1 week! Gives me some hope.
Much like other tricks, the magic to 360 yaw spins is just building momentum before you attempt it so you can cut throttle right away & just use your momentum to hold you upside down. Also how you get the juicy part of a juicy flick.
awesome bro!
From Colombia South America I just want to congratulate you for the great videos you do!! Thanks my friend!! I learn a lot!! Keep going!!!
I know this is a little old now, but as someone learning freestyle it was quite encouraging. I thought that last clip looked pretty great, man. I would imagine you're probably a freestyle beast by now.
I think you can do the inverted yaw spins smoother, if you start them with a half powerloop, that way you have more upward momentum, and it looks smother
Cracks me up seeing people coming into mini quads these days, the progress is so rapid! I spent literally years getting specific tricks nailed. You should fly a build that's like 6 years old and see how you do with that 😊
Awesome progress in a week Matt! Inverted yaw spins are a pain but man do they look cool.
As you get better you get braver
i love this
Yeah, I’m stuck on day 5! Been that way for 6 months!
hahahaha
Hahah I see my future there as well
If ur crashing, ur improving
If u don't crash for a while, ur not pushing ur self
@@olicourse yeah. I hate crashing.
You'll notice your time spent crashing, building, fixing will go down and your time flying will go up. Keep at it.
Right on 🤘
Great video, it felt very honest. Thanks for the tips, I'm just starting to learn FPV with my 8yr old son!
You won't ever find your end abilities in a week, your mind skills and speed grow for much much longer!
Great stuff still! 🏆
Throttle off for most tricks!
Great progress Video, usually day5 is a normal thing when learning new stuff.
Close before mastering something your brain tries to sort everything out ending up with very bad results on that day right before making a huge progress step. Same is also true in school if you're precisely tracking performance of students
Those skills in just 7 days😱 u r insane bro, merry Christmas to you too 🎅
@@2toeninja I don't, I haven similar progression in my FPV journey.... I have it logged in video as well on another youtube channel. I think most people suck so badly for so long because they're scared of crashing....... It's always boggled my mind at how slowly people progress in this hobby. And I even just wrote a comment on this video thanking him for showing that it IS possible to not suck...
Of course he had used the simulator first as did I, as does everyone.
One of the best drone chanels
Great work. Practice on doing all tricks both left and right 😉
3:13 for real beginners
To flip, you need to be in acro mode.
Stability mode prevents you from going past a certain angle with your drone.
Great video. Merry Christmas. Just subbed.
I love ittttt keep it coming happy holidays my brother
Thanks man, I'll do my best!
@@MattPochwat dont need to try bro u already doing it blessings for u and the family been watching you for a whileeee now
Ngl day one looked so smooth
Good progress and edit!
Very nice progress.
Excellent video, I really like the style of all of your videos. What did you finally set your rates at? I have a Geprc MK4 that I've toned the rates way down, and I've been thinking after watching you and Mr Steel that maybe I should crank them up so that my timing of hitting the sticks gets more consistent.
Great video, inverted yaw spin is challenging, I broke my quad arm when attempting this move. I will practice more and try again later.
merry Christmas and a great vid
Thanks!
Very nice video bro!
I know this was mentioned below but your best, least expensive first stop is a sim. While you don't necessarily get the feel for really flying it does teach muscle memory and that is a huge help and has been to me over the last 5 years.
Id be happy being able to fly around slow at the moment lol im starting off in the house with a mobula 6, All the best for the new year Matt.
Nothing wrong with that. Those can be a lot of fun :)
I actually find it harder to fly my Mob6 than the Nazgul5
U can still do some freestyle with a mob6
Awesome video
well deserved Sub , nice vid man
Just found your channel, and have been enjoying watching your videos! I liked seeing the not-so-clean progression in this video. One thing that I think would be helpful to me/others learning these tricks would be a view of your controller as you are doing these tricks (a la Mr. Steele videos). That way, we can try to copy what you are doing too!!
