5 FPV Drone Mistakes That F*ck Beginners

👉 Learn to fly like a pro and never make an expensive mistake again

👉 Start FPV today without wasting $$$ or feeling overwhelmed

--------------------------------------------------------

I have been told SO MANY contradicting things in this hobby, in fact, that's what made me put off starting FPV for 2 years...
This video will help you avoid the mistakes I made, and make your whole experience much smoother (And more fun) ✌️

I think you make some good points about not building your own drone, but as a new person who built his first drone i think it was worth it. It taught me how the drone actually worked and what the components did, which was really helpful. However, i do like to build and fiddle with stuff so it might just be me.

I’ve been flying FPV for 6+ years and what I love the most is to be on my own without anyone else … me time 😎

I like your cheerful little video. My own progression went—sim only— (because I couldn’t afford a quad yet) then one cheap little quad —- tiny whoops. —-learning to build my own bigger one. It’s been good, and I too think it was good to fly first before building. But the bridge has to be crossed, because unless you’re rich enough to pay for repairs, you gotta do it. Thankfully, it’s a relaxing part of the hobby, mostly. The most irritating part to me, is software.

I feel like trap #3 is the most important.

A whise person once said.

"The moment you start to compare yourself to others is the moment when fun starts to degrade because you cant match your own expectations."

Most important thing is to HAVE FUN with like minded people and yourself.

The rest happens when time passes by :)

Fly safe legends!!!! And have fun 🎉❤

I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been flying drones for almost 3 years and just getting into FPV. My experience is similar to yours in that most people are fascinated by the technology and ask questions.

Great stuff. I'm brand spanking new to the hobby ( 20 hours on sim and 3 hrs on cetus pro). and really appreciate this kind of content. The reason I am learning is because of the therepuetic benefit it gives me. I have an aquired brain injury and the feeling it gives me when I'm cruising around is just so amazing. So for me it is a very personal thing. Later perhaps I will find like minded people. For now I'm gonna keep banging away with this little cetus. Subscribed. 😊

Few months ago, I was flying in the local park when I came home from work, wanted to relax, this nice couple came up we're quite nice.

It took me a few weeks to get the tiny soldering down; I’m an auto mechanic by trade; therefore, I know how to use a soldering iron and read schematics. Once I solder tiny connections, building drones was a breeze. I don't let anyone mess with my drone builds or my vehicles. Being able to solder tiny connections and read schematics is the key to making a drone quickly.

I built my 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th drones and have frames / components for two more 5" freestlye copters being delivered this week.
I did my 1st build after watching a Bardwell how to and discovered I enjoy building them as much as flying them.
Honestly if not for building it myself I would have felt lost instead of having a much better working knowledge of how each component works & relates to the others.
Also, because I chose to build, I had the confidence, plus every tool and most spare parts to make any repairs necessary.
Needless to say, I am a huge advocate of building at least ones own first drone.
If you stay in the hobby any amount of time, you will aquire most of the tools needed to build anyway just by necessity, its also a little less expensive to get into a quality machine if you build it and a full build can easily be completed in a weekend or less.
These days even if youre unable or just refuse to learn to solder, there are plug & play options for every FC / ESC, VTX and RX that you could want, so besides having to buy a few common tools, its hard to imagine a good reason not to want to experience the satisfaction of building your own copter and flying your own creation is always more fun than any store bought drone.
Cheers.

7:30 Actually you are convincing me to get one too!! lol

[jeanpaulmeyer]

I enjoy building, not to say i haven't had my rage inducing moment of despair once or twice, but it's been a long time since one of those. Looking at you FrSky e.e. Back then there weren't many good options for pre-built, there's a lot more now, though a bit pricey

[benleong]

Can you share the link for the Evoque F5 V2 GPS mount?

[serenestateofbeing]

Even the prebuilt drones i bought were eventually completely torn apart and rebuilt/ modified. If you follow a guide with the exact parts they use, building a drone for the first time is pretty easy. Only thing you should wire up is the reciever and the vtx. No need to mess with a gps or LEDs unless you want to. Itll just make the build more complicated and confusing.

emax tinyhawk 3 freestyle was my first drone-arrived broken :(

[bluefpv]

the not building your first drone i totally feel
i suggest that to beginners aswell
buy a crux and a radiomaster pocket and a skyzone box goggle for your first experience
its cheap easy and you will get into building while upgradeing
imo you dont need to start with digital right of the bad i find it beneficial to see how the video behaves and that its important how you position yourself
with digital you dont see your video getting worse that well if you dont have your eyes on your bit rate so beginners tend to not care about how to stand
with analog you see really fast if your signal is good or not and that it makes a huge difference how you postion yourself
oh and its way cheaper to start out with analog
crux + pocket + cobra sd + decent charger and some lipos is around 400 bucks so way more affordable than going full dji for 1400 ^^

My biggest fear when I'm flying _any_ of my drones (be it my helicopters or my one-and-only quad) anywhere is Karens.
Three reasons why I fly:
1. I'm out in nature.
2. It helps my PTSD in ways modern medicine is unable to.
3. This is one of two moments in my life where I feel truly alive. The second moment is when I'm riding my e-scooter.

The last thing I need is some self-important narcissist what thinks they know best, putting _me_ on their list of shit to fuck up that day, simply because I exist and I'm not harming nor endangering anyone or anyone's property.

There's already at least five reasons for someone to have a go at me for what I am whenever I go out anywhere.... and bringing my drones into it just adds to that target on my back. I'm on high alert whenever I go out anywhere, to begin with. Some Karen having a go at me will elevate that so damn hard, it could very well cause me to become a recluse. But, then again, that's what they'd unironically want. =-/.-=

Hi Brodie! I have been binging a lot of your videos as I am trying to get into this hobby! I have decided to go with the radiomaster pocket transmitter, but I’m trying to find a good drone and goggles to go with it. Do you have any recommendations? I would like to keep the whole kit under 500$ please let me know if you have any recommendations!

[xBarnabyJonesx]

Nothing wrong with starting with a prebuilt. But you will have to learn how to fix it at some point. My advice is start with a 75mm Whoop to learn the basics. Great for learning how to fly without the risk. Everything is on connectors, so easy to swap parts and repair while you learn and get a feel for how it all works. Solder on a BT2.0 connector for your first project. After you understand a Whoop it all applies to the bigger quads when you want to step it up.

Any suggestions on places to network that doesent include social media? I am happy to say I am 42 and have never had a social media account.
