Thanks for watching! My new channel - www.youtube.com/@relaxingfpv
What is the best one for range? And lowest latency? This looks SOOO FUN> Im very interested into getting into this.
Dude thank you so much! been feeling super bored with my mavic pro 2 lately and been wanting to get into fpv. this is exactly what I needed
We can easily see the passion you have for the fpv drone! Your advice is valuable and it's cool of you!
Good continuation Danny !
Thanks man!
I'm so glad you made a video bro.. you're one of the very few creators I always get really excited to see a video from. ❤️
Thanks man I really appreciate that!
I love this video! Thank you for making this video!! 🔥😊❤️🌟
Glad you liked it!
Hey Danny, cheers for the tips.. just what i needed. I’ve been contemplating buying the chrimea7 for a while, and I’m sure i want it but wasn’t too sure about the setup.. thanks to you I’m confident now to go ahead and grab the kit you advise 😊.. by the way i live in the Middle East, some super cool dreamy landscapes here. During the winter is a great time to film but requires special licensing to be granted.. nothing that can’t be done but will take effort and planning.
Bro respect, I'm new here soo glad i found you. You're whole channel looks high vibration, love it.✨
The timing of this video couldn’t be any better for me! Spent the past 72 hours researching endlessly. Thank you!
Glad I could help man!
Very great video. Thanks for your work!😄
Why is everyone that gives FPV advice on CZcams the nicest person ever?
This guys is honestly, so nice.
Nice video! How do you deal with dji fpv controller 2 disconnection when goggles lose signal? I heard about this problem in other videos, maybe dji already solved it. I currently have the tbs tango 2 but I am evaluating switching to the dji radio 🤔
Congrats to 100k!
Man, I wish you had a master class for all this! Even in person workshops, totally worth the investment 👏🏼👏🏼
Love your work. At 72 love flying drones. Have not yet got into FPV. But will look at it. Brilliant.
Hey Danny. Great compliments again on your great content. I think you provide so great videos which are very informativ as well. Maybe you can help me out: So far I flew the dji fpv and avata but never a real drone. I just ordered a defender 25 with the li ion battery, but now I am missing a charger. I am thinking getting a Chimera later this year, as soon as may flying skills improve. But now what battery is better for flying fpv drones. Lipo or Li ion? I am tending towards Li ion, but not for a specific reason. I just think they are safer while charging. Which batteries are you using on your Chimera? Which battery solution would you recommend? Thx for your help!
Hi, Danny. May I ask if you did any modification to your controler? Since i think my fpv doesn't have such good signal, specially in mountain and flying through cavity. Thank you very much.
Thank you for helping out! What is the flight time of the Chimera 7 and the 3300 batteries?
pretty creative on showing the progress bar when you spoke about your sponsor. felt like a youtube ad moment haha
DJI is the apple of drones
Apple is way too expensive
speaking straight facts bro, ive said this for so long
@@mplouisand so is DJI
@@Liam.2984 DJI is super cheap for what you get.
Hell yes! 😮
Great videos! What’s up with wind and the drones? Is it still good to handle and how is it compared the Nazgul vs. Chimera ? Would be great to know
i'm interested in the hobby and have been search at the different equipment. why are the dji systems the only recommended goggles/video system? are they better in some way for Cinematic FPV over other HD systems or analog. what is your experience with each system compaired to dji?
Very nice & informativ video. Thank u!
U didn’t mention the new DJI Googles Integra, what do u think of them. They are a bit cheaper as the Googles 2.
So helpful thanks
Hey Bud. Just watching your video. You really inspired me to do a channel. Learn a lot from your channel. Keep up the good work. Jaime her from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
Great information thanks
Hey Danny these Mountain surfing footages have you done using the controller 2? Thanks !
what flight time do you get with the 7" drone?
Good video man
Hey I have a DJI fpv drone was wondering if I can use the controller and goggles with a fpv drone
Really stuck on which remote to get the commando bundle that comes with the protek35 on iflight or just get the dji remote and protek35 separate along with the goggles v2 which I’m set on
i dont have a lot of money so what fpv system would you recommend on a budget? and a transmitter?
Is it possible to program a cinelog 35 with the O3 system and DJI remote controller 2 to have a hover mode or something? In case I have to get out of my goggles?
Awesome vid!
Noob question here: can you setup the dji controller 2 and googles 2 with the nazgul 5? Im considering upgrading to nazgul since im super dissatisfied with the range of the avata
He takes about it in the video... Also, be wary if range is a CE limit and that range is not always due to the Avata in itself.
@Mcgeee I checked the Chimera. Do you know which receiver it uses? It says it's long-range fpv, so it must be some long-range receiver. The product page lists only the vtx details. I have a Taranis FrSky Q X7 tx that I want to be able to use. I contacted iFlight support over chat, and she said you cannot use FrSky tx.
Also, do they allow us to swap the receiver after purchase? I want to buy a setup that can be customized versus a closed setup.
I have a spark and an air 2. Been wanting to get into fpv for a long time but it seems so intimidating from the outside and it costs a lot of money. Everytime i think i have all the bits picked out i think of something else. Ive seen some pretty good deals on the used market though. I may go that route just to get my foot in the door
What is with the Cinebot30 as a beginner Drone? Is it solid or not?
And on the other vedio, I'm with you on being able to use the black magic and color correcting but untill I get there, ahem, if ever, then I like what you've used for the longer flight time and easier getting through tight spots. But do plan on going all the way with this as when FPV first came out I was so ready for it then life kinda got in the way and put things on hold. I appreciate what you do to help and explain what you use for different shots and why. Looking at the Avata, goggles 2 and may be adding a naked GoPro. Would just like a little more flight time but that flight time is about the same amount of time I get on my hobby grade RCs. 🤙 Ty . Also wasn't sure as all the videos I watch the quality was a tad off, then I realized my phone had changed my vedio quality. Changed it back and now I see that the quality is better than I thought. 🤣
Question, dji released the goggles 2 and Integra goggles, which one is better?
Cool 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
Hello, great, I don't speak English. I will use a translator. I would like to know if it is possible to record from the dji fpv controller 2 to the dji unit 3?,,,, And if so, would this have to be configured from Beta fly?, thank you!!! 👍
Would u recommend Helon 10 for now?
I have integra can I bind with the drones you shown
Thank you for this video! I have been thinking about picking up an avata for a while now and I just got a new gopro! Can you give me the link to the gopro video you suggested? For some reason it never came up in the vid.
Apologies on that just updated it 🤘🏽
Is it possible to connect taranis Qx7 to a dji air unit
Hey, im looking to visit Hawaii,,,,is it possible to take my mini3pro or mavic3pro?....(im from europe)
Great vid as a fpv pilot im very surprised u use dji remote brave man lol crossfire allday for me great vid man
Heard about just as many failsafes with crossfire as I have with the DJI remote - so sticking with it unless that changes
How long can you fly with your big drone😮
i dont see why you like that controller so much
it has super small gimbals which are bad for precise flying and binding crossfire is super easy you press a button on the reciver and a button on the controller and thats it
and the dji controller only works with dji stuff so if you have different quads that run on crossfire or elrs you cant use that controller
with my radiomaster i can fly all my drones even the tinywhoops that run on frsky i just have to switch the model in the controller and it binds after i did the binding prozess once for all my drones
Do you think crossfire/elrs transmission is a better link (commando, tango 2 pro) then the transmission system from the DJI goggles straight to the fpv controller 2?
Not necessarily better in my opinion just different. I’ve heard good / bad things about all of them. You can get different radios with ELRS and crossfire whereas DJI just has the one.
men! you should check some footage from the north of argentina (jujuy, salta, etc) some amazing views. also the patagonia.
I just purchased a Mavic 3 drone and turns out it’s bonded to the old owner , got any tips of what I can do next ? Because I’m unable to reach the previous owner
I can fly analog, but I’ll never go back after getting dji with 03 units
Cool video
Great, Great video! Why do you put a hero 11 on top of the Avata as opposed to using the on board camera?
Also- do you strip down your own go pros or get it done?
Do you work closely with iFlight? Are you sponsored in any way or form? I've herd some not so great things about their customer service. Have you had any problems?
I’m debating finally upgrading from the avata/dji FPV and getting the chimera 7 V2. I have no idea how a lot of the things (battery, landing, gps) work on these ones since I’m so used to the DJI ecosystem. Do you have a video on that?
I don't at the moment - but thanks for the feedback I might have one soon :)
The chimera 7 is no toy bro id make sure u know how everythink works first that cud be a coslty mistake get a nazgul man
Really depends on what you want to do many people will say get a nazgul but the best buy rn is actually the evoque. You have the f5D and F6D and the difference is 5" vs 6". The wisdom has been 5" is king for freestyle and pure acrobatics. 6" is more efficient and has more torque, you'll get better range out of it. If you want no props in ur video get the dead cat but it will fly worse mostly in the roll
@@MrLeeroyfpv Thanks for the info, I've watched everything I can find on it so far but dont feel educated enough to purchase it now. I defintely won't pull the trigger until I learn more and if I do get it. I'll start with short flights in a safe area to make sure the failsafes are working properly.
good video! i would of gone slightly more into the batteries! you talked about the amps of them but didnt actually say if say they were 3s 4s or 6s could be rather confusing if someone made purchases based on that
Thanks for the feedback! They are all 6S if you're curious
Hi Danny, do you only fly with the O3 flight unit? What do you think about the O3 video signal problems, which many people are talking about, on your pre-assembled drones (5 inch or chimera) that are not dji? If you drop the video signal, do you also lose the radio signal? How does the drone behave?
Have you ever had such problems?
Thanks in advance and sorry for so many questions.
I've heard of some people with issues and the FPV community as a whole kinda loves to hate on the new DJI gear but I've only had good experience so far
@@Mcgeee Thank you for your reply and congratulations on your content.
I'll ask you one last question if I may, as I'm approaching the world of fpv and wouldn't want to make any wrong purchases. So you only use O3 for both video and radio signal? Do you not use systems such as croossfire or others for radio on your drones?
Thank you very much
Thinking about FPV drones so I can get the higher frame rates from my Gopro (for some slow mo shoots).
But curious... What kind of altitude can you get from a Chimera and if I am wanting to shoot straight down from a fixed position, how still can I get it / how would you mount the camera for that style of shooting (vs the swooping FPV style)?
If you want top down shots while maintaining altitude the best bet is a Mavic or other DJI drone. But you cn definitely get some awesome stuff with an FPV
@@Mcgeee Thanks…really appreciate the heads up :)
Wanting to get shots of vehicles travelling rural roads in slow mo from above, so wasn’t sure if I could configure the flight controller to hover on GPS etc :).
But also want to get some shots from beside vehicles matching their speed (with camera mounted at 90deg to motion) so might end up buying a few drones ;)
New expensive hobby…but also have a commercial purpose that might cover the cost ;)
Thanks again!
How far these travel like 10 meters
Bro, you are heavily paid by DJI and iFlight 😊 Thus, you should check DJI action camera 😊
Do you recommend the goggles 2 over the newly released Integra? (Since it is pretty new maybe you didn’t have the opportunity to test it out?)
If you don't use glasses the integra offers basically the same but with a bit less fov
Ey! i've got the same neon light but in pink! Take the sub :) The reminder is always good :)
Are there any rules of the land if your DRONE say gets out of range and drops to the ground? Are you able to track it by GPS? Will people steal the drone? Will people attack ur drone out of air?
I wanted an Avata for a long time, but I see tons of videos of them falling out of the sky while trying to do minor flips and rolls or even hard turns.
I really don't want to buy something that will feel like a dog in a few weeks/months once I gain a bit of confidence while flying. The defender 25 seems like an awesome alternative that I've had my eye on recently.
Its a great option
make a video on air 3
I’m on Hawaii, could be nice to meet you
I came for the FPV info...but I stayed for the ducklings....😎
I have to admit that im torn between getting the mavic 3 pro and the chimera 7 bundle...
Thank you for reaching back out. And I'm sure the ducklings appreciated the time and care you took with them. Hopefully they're doing well and healthy. I've rescued squirrels and kittens back to health and finding home for them. Volunteered with baby tigers before. It so satisfying seeing the care you put into them make a difference and giving them a chance.
08:35 what do you mean "if you want to upgrade from the Avata 2"? there's no avata 2 yet
The DJI intengra came out this year get the new one
The outro is sick! what he sayin tho?
I clicked on this while watching your 2022 video
3:46 Gefühlt jeder fpv Drohnen CZcamsr schreibt googles statt goggles. Kein Wunder, dass ich beim Vokabeltest in Englisch googles geschrieben hab😂
Why cant i find any UK fpv drone videos on CZcams? I just wanna video on the best thing to get for under £300.. Help!
The goggles v2 with the controller 2 is not compatible with the caddx vista and the Air unit 1. The goggles are, but not the remote. They are compatible with the O3.
You can use the caddx with the controller 2 but only with the goggles 2.
And it doesn't make sense...
Nice video, dude. But I do not agree with Avata. It’s super expensive. And when you are new to fpv and want to learn how to fly manual properly there is a big chance you will crash your drone. With dron from dji every small crash will cost a kidney plus you will have to wait for quite a while for the repair.
If want do create something very special try fly Fpv drone at K2 Pakistan it will be mind blowing
who told you a cross (shuriken) is the best shape for a drone, no, a dome star drone (3d cross and 3-line sphere) is the most stable, no lever wobble, also protects the drone as a shield sphere as flex membrane cantilever leaf spring ball
dont you know that cross bracing in cars makes it more sturdy, like in racing cars and bridges, therefore the x-shape is not the best for a drone, and not even the lightest, not even for props
Aww you’re duck dad!!! 🦆
So what I got from this is that FPV camera footage is not good so in order to get good footage then you need a GoPro!
What that said:
Then 1. The image we see on the FPV goggles is NOT what the actual footage from the GoPro would be right?
2. The only benefit of the FPV would be the ‘experience’ of flying first person!!!
3. Does this mean a non-FPV drone would be best for best video quality? Such as the DJI mini Pro 4!
The only thing about using the fpv rc2 with the goggles is; if you loose video, you also loose connection to the RC for up to 5 seconds.
A lot can happen in 5 seconds.
That is why most pilots will use a separate transmitter and receiver module like ELRS, or TBS Crossfire. With this config, you will lose video waaaaay before you lose radio transmission, and are able to punch up to regain video.
TO be honest, this looked more like an iflight commercial than anything :)
GEPRC Mark 5 is the best
I'm confused because I've heard bad things about the avata.
Setup issues, camera issues, battery life issues, chargung issues, calibration issues. I'm kinda surprised this is a recommendation.
It’s phenomenal as a first FPV drone. Haven’t had any of those issues you’re talking about personally
If you really want the best possible gear that exists right now then here’s what you should get.
-PERIPHERALS
Goggles: DJI Goggles 2
Remote: TX16S MAX + TBS Crossfire Module
-DRONE
Frame: ImpulseRC Apex EVO
VTX: DJI O3 Air Unit
RX: TBS Crossfire Nano SE
Stack: SpeedyBee F7 V3 50A BL32 combo
Motors: T-Motor Pacer V3
GPS: Beitian BN-220
Do not get the Avata or Remote Controller 2, they are toys, and they will dissappoint you. Or get them and see for yourself I guess.
I should add that CNHL batteries have probably the best reputation in FPV. I use the CNHL SpeedyPizza, it is a very reliable battery.
And if you want a Cinewhoop, then the GEPRC Cinelog35 V2 is currently the best option, it’s hardly even debateable.
What's wrong with Remote Controller 2? I don't really see a difference between him and, for example, Radiomaster Zorro. The T16S is huge to carry around, I don't see the point in it. Earlier I flew FrSky Taranis Q X7s and after a few trips to the mountains I wanted to buy a small transmitter, but in the end I bought a whole used DJI FPV drone set mainly for the goggles and the controller.
Just out of curiosity, what's the point of having a camera on the drone itself, if you have to attach one.
the onboard camera is designed to low latency transmission over long ranges and suffers reduced quality when have low signal.(its designed purely to see where you are flying). the camera on top is purely for quality and is the video used for editing.
@@StrifeCJ I see. Is there one with a good onboard camera?
@@conservovirtus5796 i wouldnt want to recommend a system because i have yet to try all the hd systems avaliable and they are all user preference. but the systems you want to research, to see what suits your needs best are either Walksnail, HDzero, or DJI. all do it littlebit different to suit difference niches
@@StrifeCJ So should I just get an Avata or something to avoid the extra expense of having to attach another camera?
@@conservovirtus5796 if you just want to fly with good quality video and dont want to build, or edit videos of your flights its the easy option 👍
10:09 don't forget to level the FPS, otherwise the video will be jerky like here
why there is not a dual camera fpv drone. for true vr experience
zero demand for it and the video systems are already expensive. the r&d alone to manufacture a VR camera kit would be unprofitable.
I only fly in the PC sim lol
Sponsored by Artlist and dji...
I would not recommend the dji remote, it has horrible range and for the price (150$) you can get much better range and reliability, like using a Radiomaster boxer with elrs that has been tested to 100km (140$)
Whats up
The DJI radio is the worst decision you can make. You will lose your Chimera 100% certain of that, as soon as your video signal stutters, your radio link drops out and you will failsafe
hey dude i was wondering if your willing to giveaway one of your goggles i really need some i am a new kid of flying would greatly appreciate it fully understand if this is stupid to ask
first off the dji controller is an sbus controller and the range sucks so people don't go with that controller get a crossfire controller or elrs controller which use's crossfire because when your flying and your control link failsafe's and you lose or break your new drone you will be pissed when you find out the other control links that would have not happened
i like this video and the idea of more money entering the space however this video is a bit misleading, people need to understand that barriers and true cost of our hobby. the saying high reward comes with high risk i never more true than the fpv hobby.
First!
