My camera angle is always whatever the last crash decides it will be.

[@flannyfpv]

Right!

[@AKtoTok]

😅🤣😂

[@Born2OwNoobs]

"What cam. angle do you use ?" "All of them"

[@AKtoTok]

@@Born2OwNoobs 😂 exactly.. my 5 inch is like 40-50.. 3 inch ~ 25 -30, whoops ~35-40.

[@DjOlidang]

Thank you so much for what you do for the hobby bruce. Quick question how did you get muscles like you have ? i'm 38 and have half the arm power than what looks like you have ! Maybe an workout vid for us little arms guys

[@veek2767]

Bard: You're gonna learn something today. Bot: I'ma show you how to do some shit today.

[@djbis]

better yet: "Some motherfucking shit today"

[@FlyHighWisconsin]

It made a huge difference once I lowered my camera angle. Less crashing when you're not going MACH 1,000 lmfao!!

[@rambozo_fpv176]

Its nice, right? I look back at my 50 degree angle videos and wonder why I was in such a rush. 20 degrees all day every day.

[@thedroneguytoronto]

Looking at these comments I think it's time to lower my camera lol.

[@MrSmithFPV]

@@rambozo_fpv176 Correct, 20 degree is a good choice for nice and smooth freestyle and safe landings. 👍

[@LinuzoFPV]

Oh ya.. that's the best!

[@EDCandLace]

All depends on what you want, my husband and I race so we both fly 40 to 50 degrees of cam depending on the track, so tracks we fly with as low as 30 and on hyper speed wide open tracks we may run 55 to 60. On our freestyle rigs we fly 20 and that's it. You don't need anymore for freestyle and everything is easier to do and looks so much more smooth and fluid. The guys I see flying freestyle with 40 degrees of cam tilt and then bitch about how everyone's videos look so smooth and creamy and theirs look flicky and like a poorly setup quad or all over the sticks and it's because of cam angle... They are always flying to fast meaning they have to use more throttle to get out of whatever they are doing and how quickly they are closing in on the objects they are flying around force them to make quick and big direction changes. Lower the cam angle and slow them down and their footage becomes better looking instantly.

[@yarbsfpv]

oh shit the squad car lit up at the end i got nervous

[@fellfrosch3]

Yeah, what happened?

[@AKtoTok]

Riiight 😅

[@GKW25308]

Yeah, I need to know. Pat down? or did you get one of those rare cool cops. You know he was probably there for those kids anyway.

[@evhvariac2]

Why were you nervous?

[@BOTGRINDER]

I got warrants dawg I get my name run im fucked.

[@Peter_FPV]

Hey Bot what mic you use for that nice crisp sound man!?

[@YourLocalIceMan]

You forgot the most important thing. Keep your knees bent.

[@ultratorrent]

The first dude I saw passing out in formation standing at attention in basic back in 2007 really drove home how important this is :D

[@rkilgorejr]

Do more narrated flights Bot!!! You always get me laughing!

[@EDCandLace]

BOT I rarely buy branded items, but you my friend i enjoy watching so much that I buy products of yours to try and help keep you going. Your videos bring me a lot of laughs and enjoyment. Love us Bot.

[@EDCandLace]

Love YA Bot ****

[@BOTGRINDER]

awe thank you so much homie!!!

[@LeCrowTV]

So idk when it happened, but I just realised I automatically like every Botgrinder video I watch.

[@steviefpv]

Oh my god that bot coin is fucking sick I’d buy one any price who made them for you they look well made

[@thaddeusj83]

love the old man noises 😂 just asked steele about that.

[@patarawinnsattayacaluhakul9516]

on the cheap quad challenge with rotor Riot I thought they said that your name was buttGrinder

[@s.boulware73]

so I just found your page and my first thought was: how much coke did this dude do before he turned on his camera. But then I kept watching and really dug your style. I'm glad you showed how you might be good, but you can have off days just like the rest of us. I would have been self conscious about not hitting those dives perfectly, but you were like fuck it, I aint about to crash just to prove a point. I look forward to learning more stuff from your page. Thanks!

[@BOTGRINDER]

No prob! Hard Drug free 10 years believe it or not 🤣

[@volitronics]

nice vid. in addition to 0 degrees, another thing i like to do is custom throttle curves for hovering/landing/takeoff, giving a nice gimbal travel range from just under hovering to just over hovering. i like using 25% of my gimbal travel for the hover, makes landing and hovering very easy.

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

I miss the betaflight days of disarming switch not going active unless you hit zero throttle. You could flip the arm switch and keep flying and as soon as you touched ground cut throttle and have a perfect landing with no bounce. I get why they took that away but man the landings were nice.

[@joecrupi9381]

‘... the position of the stars...’ 😂

[@aenochfpv9863]

Love the narration!! Too funny man 👍

[@TheMadmacs]

18degrees is the magic number

[@PapyrusEngineer]

@BOTGRINDER any chance of using zero profanities? You know.... like finish a sentence without using single curse word? How about a challenge? You will get achievement if you try ;)

[@ojkolsrud1]

Bot, you seem like the most genuine guy out there now. I thoroughly enjoy watching this stuff. Your flying has become envy-smooth too.

[@zoroe]

IT A ME IN THE BACKGROUND!!!! 😘😘😘😘

[@ukmonk]

Great tips thank you! So your camera angle was 10 degrees in this video please? or 5?

[@NorthStarDrones]

Great video Bot 😉💯⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@skyweaver3199]

Hey man , when I break a prop...it's way worse. You should talk more over videos....it's hilarious....for real man. Also what a great outro....Did you pay the cop..Haha , I want a part 2.

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Bro I laughed so hard so many times through this video. I know it's only January but this is a fucking goldmine. THANK YOU BG for giving this newb wannabe the confidence to lower my camera angle without feeling like I was lame. I had my shit tilted too high, I felt like I had to keep up with that racing angle - who the fuck am I kidding? I'm no racer - shit I can barely fly FPV. When I go faster I'll raise my angle - why the fuck was I imposing that bullshit on myself? I've become convinced that I need to earn a Botgrinder coin.....and please don't go back to washing dishes and hating your life....we need you here bro.....as soon as I can I will help support the Botgrinder dream.... PS - I somehow saw the vid on Reddit of you doing the between the legs landing and thought that was sick....bro, I think you made landings cool - well for me you did anyway - thanks 😁

[@flyineyeaerialfpv5592]

Bro when I get pretty decent at flying my new fpv I wanna drive over to Philadelphia and rip some of those locations and come watch some flights possibly. It would be dope for FPV to keep growing exponentially and to start seeing more creativity from underdog pilots around the world. Wait thats already happening. They (FAA) can't stop us from shredding with our little quads. How many fpv pilots are actually breaking the faa rules? Uhm about non because ripping a bando or local park or field doesn't exactly break faa rules. Its newbies with camera drones and money hungry profiteering conglomerates causing the big change coming with remote ID. FPV for life, camera drones...well, until they ruin it I guess lol

[@TheGattington]

HAHAHAHAHAH Your superfast explanation RIGHT at the end of the intro had me laughing so hard dude. You got my sub with that shit.

[@xxmgz331]

I was at high speed, I was going to land and I disarm my drone in air, and one of the motor land in mud, you know any tip to clean in? I will practice my landing😤

[@platty9237]

I’m getting visions of bardwell landing softly and then ... BOOP ... upside-down.

[@vedasticks]

man... ive been flying almost 2 years fpv (used tk fly helis so have a headstart on acro) got reallt good at landing but the bleeding off speed skmetimes messed it up, id have to pich back to slow down then you cant see and if you get it wronf your gaining heighr or start going backwords. turn round to slow down so can still see ground. genious.

[@Alluvian567]

I've watched a lot of your stuff over the years, had no clue you had such low camera angle. Makes me feel much better about my 20-25 ish or less camera angle.

[@DronemanfromNepal]

bro , do you use hypersmooth ??? cause i remembered u saying u dont freaking tune the quad /./???

[@BOTGRINDER]

Yeah

[@samtny1]

Nice LUT, or I don't know, good picture or something. Sick, I gotta try to land like that pretty soon. :fire: :fire: :fire:

[@DjOlidang]

Just one of those days bot lol looks really cold out there too bud

[@skyweaver3199]

Bro.....lmao I really like your videos. I needed this advice. Fuck the camera angle , I need to land without breaking shit !

[@troyclark540]

I liked the commentary as well, but you’re good at picking music2 so maybe just mix some in every once in awhile....more operation ivy😳

[@tonomoto]

fucking love your videos dude... should make one with fucking chris tucker, that would be funny... although no idea what the 2 of you would talk about

[@metavet9242]

Sick as usual Mr Grinder hehe ur vids make me grin😀 ..’and u also don’t wanna hit those children’😂😂..

[@beezermedia]

BOT, who the fuck do you watch that just disarms like a donkey 10ft up?! :D

[@ivanjdrakov1957]

Bro I love how honest you are in your videos... Super awesome!! You need the KZbin analytics you say, lol.. I'll watch till the end bro, I liked also.. Sweet Keep well and be safe bro! PS: Dab time now.... 😁🇧🇬🛸

[@thatguycarlos]

on a somewhat related note, I just posted my first FPV video to KZbin ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3TZaIiMZt51opI ). I land in that video. It's more than a minute, so I'll go do the challenge for Friday if possible, but it's literally my 11th ever pack flown in the video , so be nice, please. Sorry for the long ass cringe beginner video. Landing at the end obviously.

[@suprarealistul]

Neah bro I'm waiting for the time when we can charge mid flight so I don't have to land :D . Just imagine mid flight battery swap. Insane!

[@adamuap6623]

I landed a tinyhawk on my goggles before

[@rockman49er]

Lol

[@drumstickscarecrow]

I think my tiny whoop's camera is at something like 2 or 3 degrees up tilt. Main rig is straight zero. Always a smooth landing unless a tree happens to reach out and grab it first.

[@lvxaer793]

I am here to help the analytics, I just chaos drop and break shtuff, but lowering the camera angle is a good idea. Zoom Kaboom!

[@joshmellon390]

I wanna put a magnetic 3d print bed on my chest, and a magnet on the bottom of the kwadrokoughpter. You get the rest lol.

[@SwellDrone]

oh man! I just successfully had my first flight with my evoque f5 dc. great flight but the fucking landing! I need to practice landing. so fun!

[@archer4922]

Tip for racers with 45+ cam angle. Learn where your quad is in the air and learn what the horizon looks like when the quad is level. Slow down get as low as ya can then disarm. Works every time for me... unless it the end of a race and I’m hyper as shit, in which case I’ll just slam it down. Lol.

[@djbis]

I like it. though how do we rip in that manner with such a low camera angle? It doesn't seem like it would be very easy to do. (Unless you are botgrinder).

[@theHotpointHoodlum]

Why does this battery feel like it’s a DEAD BATTERIES @Zoroe...

[@philthy3100]

Whats the song during your warm up pack? Sounds awesome! Love the tutorial.

[@j.c.m5168]

🤣🤣🤣 There are decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing. 🤣🤣🤣

[@marianh69]

I just like to go full speed before landing and then disarm close to the ground and slide the shit out of those skids.

[@quadspeedfpv]

Bro I always enjoy watching your videos I’ve watched your improvement over the last year year and a half I feel like you are a free spirit and I like that But I must say telling noobs to fly and land as close to themselves as they can might not be the best idea brother you’ve developed the muscle memory not to overreact when shit goes bad they may not have that skill and could wind up hurting themselves if the quad is close to them otherwise always love your content keep flying those blue sky’s brother.

[@BOTGRINDER]

in the official rules if you are not comfortable doing that you are allowed to place a shoe away from your self and land there so no danger involved.

[@armandopace6113]

Hi mate you must of broke the prop from your shoe hahaha. Love your F video brother hahaha enjoy life

[@gregdeon705]

Always wondered , why fly trying not to crash , then come in and drop the kwad on the ground .

[@eltoncorreia7143]

love how your "warm up" pack is better than any pack I've ever ripped lol

Put a little less voltage on that guy he's going to fast man, chill out a lil bit bro

I switch off air mode so as soon as I drop throttle, the quad stops and drop,

🔥Lit !.That 2 prop instead of 3 was cool 😂😂😂

Blood sweat and tears for the hobby. I couldn't agree more

[@phillipmilburn1646]

GREAT video yet again buddy nice back flip out too 😉keep up the sweet flyin 👌👊💜

[@hunterbodell1129]

A good tip I learned from flying wings is to barely pitch back and lightly scrape your back arms against the ground right before you hit yourself. It works really great for higher camera tilt

[@xavtek]

Using the school to shoot videos teaching things. That deep man !! 😉

Drones are fun and flying is fun but I like building it more

[@X0ticaGaming]

great tips but his face at 7:09 🤣🤣

[@MUNKYFPV]

Good stuff man👍😎 I used to be terrible at landing so like you I decided to practice and even with higher camera tilt it’s not that hard with practice. I tend to run my camera lower these days but another good tip I got from someone is try to land in the exact same spot you took off from which forces you to be very deliberate about where you will land. Sliding up to my foot is still a favourite though followed by landing on my backpack 👊

[@droney_baloney]

instructions too hard, Drone tangled in testies...

I do my best landing in treetops and on strangers roofs 😕

[@ezr168]

Been flying rc for 25 years, just got the bug to fly fpv. Should I get RTR or build one up. The Eachine wizard x220 with Flysky radio caught eye along with the Eachine v100 googles. Will it get my foot in the door and get the juices flowing or do I need more? Cheers

[@BOTGRINDER]

I'd start off with a tinywhoop kit

[@sugasheeze]

the popo hit them lights on right before you cut scene tho.
