Everything You Need to Know About Tuning FPV Drones in just 25 Minutes

I hope you are able to take at least one thing away from this video and apply it towards your own setup. This took many reiterations however I'm still not quite satisfied with the end result, mostly involving how I explained the reasoning for moving the sliders. IDK maybe I'm being too critical but It's gotten to the point where I'm burnt out on this project and I'd rather have it posted than not. Anyways the end goal was to improve upon the previous PID tuning tutorial that was made over a year ago, which I believe we did by a longshot. As always leave your feedback in the comments, thanks guys!

Beheli32? I thought they closed up shop, from my understanding you can't upgrade your firmware or downgrade your kinda stuck on whatever you got as of now!

[zoeydogwablog]

Your style of explanations hit so true to home for me, super logical in your reasoning and you explained it really well, cant wait to try this out on my kwads, thanks

[mstrout]

This is EXACTLY what I needed!
Thank you SO much for de-mystifying filters and sharing the logic behind those CLI commands!!1

[dominiksperling]

Thanks a lot. The best PID Tuning Vid I've seen so far. A nice conclusion of Chris Rosser and others. Just the short facts you need to know 👌

[enduereiroal]

Great video! Thanks for your help in making such good progress in understanding this cool world of FPV. 😍

[rcaddict]

Brilliant❤, great clear explanation! Best ive heard

[maetthum]

thanks mate. I'm into building drones, net jet much into tuning. hope I can change it with your great vid!

[flasholiver]

Awesome video! Gonna watch it a Few 100 more times & see if it sinks in! Thank You Great Info Here!

[thirtyfpv]

Awesome video! Gonna use this as my new tuning video. 👍👍

[canadiangemstones]

Fascinating stuff, would love a dumbed-down version, beginning with wtf is pid.

[im_ricebowl]

i love your pringles background XD Great video fam! gonna be watching this to refresh myself with tuning. You earned yourself a sub!

[aakashb]

Thank for the info presented in a straightforward way. What info would change for a 3.5 in quad?

[christopherconkright]

Is there a video that show what you mean by bounce back or oscillation

[JuicySmullietFPV]

A Saturday drop… and one that’s going to stay in my saved videos! Christmas in June! 😂

[DanteKeith]

Will these setting apply to the AM32 Sequre ESC you recently reviewed?

[notice_fpv]

This video was posted 3 hrs ago? It really should have some comment on the state of BLHeli32. Your instructions direct viewers to update blheli, which as of this writing, is impossible.

[rwdturbo]

Thanks for the guide, but when viewing my logs in toolbox, with sliders set as you say. The graphs never start at zero on the left always up near the center line. Any idea why this would happen ?

[dadpoolfpv]

Awesome video brotha. Thanks for sharing. I have a question that I can't seem to find a solution to. I've got a SpeedyBee F405 V4 and a V3. When I flash them with BlueJay it is successful but, when I arm them they want to take off. I'm not sure which slider I need to change to lower the motor power on arm. I immediately have to disarm after arming because it goes full send (only AFTER flashing to BlueJay). I use 24khz and I haven't used BLHeliSuite I've only used Esc-Configurator. Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Keep sending fellas!

[bluefpv]

so i was thinking about tuning my 3.5inch hexa
i use biblade props on it should i set my dynamic idle higher than 30 or lower?
on standard tuning it wobbles if i dive with 0 throttle my guess would be that this is related to the dynamic idle beeing to low?

[Tunderage]

So freaking good. Thank you for this! From your experience- how would some of these numbers change with a bigger (eg 6"/7"quad) ? Appreciate the work!
