Your battery can be a moving part if you hit the ground hard enough

[ScoFish]

wow this simplified everything so much.

[Alohakoa]

Wow! You guys are awesome! It shows how serious you are about making us successful, very much appreciated, I would have paid good money for a video series like this, thank you for putting it out here for us

[javierpiles]

this is exactly the video I was looking for.

Thanks!!

[MacsWraps]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to what's ahead.

[timbermen]

Awesome video! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve really wanted to advance my drone skills after flying the blade vision for a few months. I just out grew it’s capacities. Looking to start building my own long range quad and cruise they sky’s. With a couple flips of course. Not much of a league racer type of person. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the series. Thank you for taking to time to educate all of ‘us’. Haha. Keep up the good work and the burnt/distressed wood back ground is on the

[nonplayercharacter]

Excellent video. Very well done explaining the components while hinting at all the complexity that's involved.

[Ciju]

Damn, the intro music takes me back to LiftOff, haha

[nkpagels]

Wow, it seems I have gotten lucky with hitting the perfect series on my first try!! Starting my research to enter the world of FPV coming from a DJI Air 2s.

[jailbirdcoin-to-the-moon]

hey you need one more camera either above looking down or something that can see the details because im not sure where everything is as a noob. and i love to see things in details. so a close up would be perfect.

[FlyerTuck]

Yeah man, good solid explanations. Top-Shelf, top to bottom...

[longb]

4:43 so modern FC's are all-in-ones or nah? if you get a regular FC does that integrate PDB or is that all-in-one? u didnt really clarify

[Thisguyandhiscamera]

Man, this is EXACTLY what I needed to see. As long time DJI pilot I’ve found myself insanely bored flying. As a result pushing a DJI to go against it’s purpose (cinema-esk photography) can be quite expensive three gimbles /two cameras/landing gear/and multiple props later... wa-la, FPV snaps onto my radar!
Thanks for getting this info out there. You’ve really helped ‘This Guy’ start to make informed decisions on my soon to make purchases. Be flying with you soon!

[kahukerr]

That aside im still subbing cause you're very informative

[Alohakoa]

Loved the video and the information. I’ve flown planes, the big goggles and I have great TX’s but I wasn’t sure about the drone itself. I got your sim and we’ll see where it goes. Lift-Off is not great with Steam, real pain compared to Realflight. Thank you for putting the vid together👍🏼

[brianevans]

Even though I'm not a beginner, I enjoyed this video! Looking forward to the battery care video cause I have no idea what I'm doing in that department

[Funky.PV]

i replaced my esc on my johnny fpv drone and as soon as the drone gets off the ground the throttle spikes and then disconnects would this mean its flight controller related?

[j.jj.j]

hello, do the FC without PDB have advantages that the FC (all in one) do not have? Or conversely, do all-in-one CFs have disadvantages that CFs without PDBs don't have?

[TheMono]

If I have a DJI phantom 3 advanced controller what would I need to build a fpv drone to work with it and will any goggles work

[gunngin]

What is your opinion on the jumper t16? Or do u recommend something else around this price point?
