It's so so wild to me that I just started FPV by running Liftoff. So when I decided to actually buy my first drone and do some more research, I'd watched Barwell before, but I couldn't believe that his yard was what I'd been flying on in Liftoff lol

[KSanofficial]

For every unanswered FPV question that I have in my head, Joshua suddenly releases an amazing video about it with clear answers as if he could read my mind...

After five years of flying, I've settled on 533, 533, and 512. No expo. Those are my race rates. If you're flying freestyle, don't use these! Thanks for all the help you've given the community JB.

I have been 100% lost in the world of rates and how to find my perfect rates. This video explained it so Please continue helping out people like myself

[WEEBER]

Been flying for 6 years... and this video, for some reason, was still so relevant. Thanks, JB!

I always fly my TinyWhoop Meteor 75 in angle mode indoors because acro was just too much for me. However, after following these steps, I now fly acro indoors without even realizing I'm in acro mode! This has made such a difference. I see rates as the 'frequency' between your hands and your brain, and by adjusting the rates, you tune the correct frequency." Thanks Joshua.

As I still consider myself a noob I really don't know what I would do without JB thanks again for all the videos and keeping it simple for us.

JB, thanks for this great info. As a new (78yo) pilot (FPV), 2 years on camera drones. I was confused by the "rates". I am slightly more familiar with them now. Still confused but at least I think I can try and sort them out a little, just as soon as I can fly in ACRO. Got an Avata on release date and been stuck with the Motion Controller. My FPV Controller 2 should arrive in a few days, what a long wait. I am planning on re-watching this video several times before it arrives. Thanks for the info

I love watching this a year after it was released. Still some of the most useful information on the topic out there! I love how JB summed up exactly how I feel about yaw rates being higher because I loose too much precision on the throttle at high yaw stick deflections. Perfect!

[sakfpv]

I've been going through all my quads, 1 by 1 to set the rates for that specific quad and how I fly them. My toothpicks, and 2s whoops are around 750, my 5" is around 550, cinewhoops around 350, and my 1s whoops around 800. My heavier 3" is about 600. I know it sounds dumb...but I fly each class for different things, and like a different feel for each.

[Fly_High_FPV]

Perfect timing, now that we've got DJI Rooted, BF OSD is back, now it's easy to tune rates without a laptop again 👌

[dannyp]

This helped me get a MUCH better understanding of what's going on with my rates and what each one does. THANKS JB !!!

Been flying sim for about 12hrs now, just using "recommended" rates from random google searches. Decided to give this a go, and within less than an hour, I'm already feeling infinitely more precise and smooth than in all those 12 hours. It was almost like a switch flipped. I can hit gaps with such better precision, turns are smoother, not as much. Still by no means an expert pilot, but I'm feeling so much more confident. Your videos have been insanely helpful!

"I'm Joshua Bardwell, and you're going to learn something today." This has got to be THE best tag line ever!!

[kumardeepam]

After tinkering with this hobby for more than 2 years finally understood the very basics of rates and tuning :-)
Thank you once again!

[bottledg]

I gave this method a try in Liftoff and found the perfect rates for me. I am more comfortable flying around and I am able to hit tight gaps without any issues. I am very excited to give my new rates a try on my quad as soon as spring comes around. Thanks JB!!!

[ianward]

Thank you JB - this has simplified enormously the effects that each of the settings has for me, very nicely explained

[Joker.FPV]

Your tutorial videos on FPV is amazing. Being a new FPV flier I’m learning so much from watching your videos. You are a very good teacher.

[KOrnhOliO]

You explain stuff so well. It's so easy to understand, and you describe it in a way that makes sense.

[sunsetpark_fpv]

JB you've been knocking them out of the park with your uploads! Another gem! 😎
