The BEST 3 Beginner FPV Drone Kits under $200

[@smokindogcujo63]

I'd definitely would be interested in seeing a beginners kit in the $200-$500 range! Thank you for what you do for the hobby!

[@patrickpendergast898]

I’d do a radio master Tx16s $160, elrs vtx $50, beta analog goggles $50, rekon35 quad $170. But there are lots of good bind and fly analog quads under $200-$250. I got bored with a phantom 4 just 2 days after getting it. Now I want more performance.

Excellent video. Thank you Captain Steve.

[@Brian_C_]

This is a lot like the way the R/C airplane hobby used to be back in the day. If you built a balsa/monokote kit, you'd have to read the manufacturer's recommendations and figure out how to equip/rig things as needed. It was easy to build the airplane, but building strong, straight, and pretty was a skill. In the 72 MHz systems, you had options for AM, FM, and PCM, which had their price points and pros/cons. Same with glow engines - you could go 2 cycle bushed, 2 cycle ball bearing, or 4 cycle. Electrics weren't really a thing until LiPo batteries hit the market. You could modify anything you wanted, but it was up to you to figure out if it was safe or not. Trainer cables were ok, but you needed to match your buddy's setup (Futaba, JR, etc) so most people just passed the Tx over. It didn't work out well when you were fast, close to the ground, or both. I still have an old Great Planes RV-4 with an OS .46 sitting in the closet that hasn't flown in decades.

Excellent rundown on FPV. I need an inexpensive starter FPV drone. This is after I’ve already crashed 2 camera drones. I’ll be using my camera drone for aerial photos and photogrammetry, and get one of these cheap FPVs to actually learn how to fly!

[@Phrancis5]

Yeah, brushed analog tiny whoops is really the best value for getting into FPV and a hoot to safely fly around your house/yard. Another cheap quasi-fpv option for the DJI camera drone crowd is to fabricate your own "box goggles" using a single fresnel lens and your phone. You essentially end up with an enlarged and immersive view of the DJI app showing the live view of whatever drone you have. This is the only way I fly my OG Mavic pro, if I'm not flying brushless quads and tiny whoops.

It all depends what a pilot wants to do with the drone. Since the DroneMask 1+2 on the market, this goggles transform the camera drones into fpv. I have dji drones, wanted just basic fpv, so, for me was obvious to buy a dronemask. Kinda expensive 180€ or so, but I didn't have to change anything or buy other new equipment. For indoor I have tello drones, for outdoors have a spark and a mavic mini1. These drones can't do acro tricks, but fly very stable and reliable.

I’ve been researching fpv for around a year now. after getting really good with my cinematic drone videos I’m looking at taking it up the next level to eventually get to building my own higher quality for amazing video footage I’ve logged about 80 hours of fpv simulation I’ve started saving money to look into a first true fpv. I am a pincher but I’m torn. Pavo pico 2? If there’s a 2. Should I start with something that I could put my camera on it ?

Definitely do not begin with a drone that can handle an external camera because such a drone may be too powerful for a beginner. Get any FPV drone that is a Cinewhoop or plain whoop. Such drones have prop guards built in. Practice flying outdoors over grass & life will be good.

Have you talked to FMS about using it in their advertising?😅😂 I love this video. For the last year I've been thinking about getting into FPV but not sure if I should get a kit like this and have to upgrade or get something better and not have to upgrade as quick. If you were buying a beginner kit would it be cetus lite or do you think it's worth it to go full "cetus"? Seems to me that bang for the buck "Cetus" is the way to go. UT is it worth $40us more? As you know living in Canada $40us is closed to $55cad😢

I've had to return 2 different BetaFPV Aquila 16 drones, both of them started doing this thing where they'd fly great for a minute or two, but sure enough they would descend to the ground, and wouldn't fly higher than a couple inches off the ground 😑 i had 8 batteries, they did this with all 8 batteries, fully charged. The first one lasted a couple weeks before it started happening, sent it back but its replacement didn't make it 2 days before it started doing the same thing. Being so new to the market, i couldn't find anything on line about what was going on with them, or how to fix it. I cleaned everything on them, including the sensor on the bottom for the auto hover feature, i finally just gave up and returned both of them and got my money back. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how i felt..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Since you were flying in beginner mode where the drone holds the height, it sounds like the barometer needed calibration. I believe on these beginner quads you can go into the menu and have it recalibrate. The good news is that if you wish to get into the true FPV hobby there is no such thing as flight assistance and everything is up to the pilot, so if you are learning to control the height continuously during flight, you’re on your way to becoming a real FPV pilot.

[@denverscott37]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah I did the calibration a few times, still did the same thing. As for fpv flying, that's pretty much what I was thinking, the Aquila 16 got me to understand what it's about and I was just starting to fly in sport mode, not full acro but pretty close so I'm thinking my next FPV purchase, I'll skip the auto hover stuff and go for the real deal and just practice with it outside in the wide open, thanks for the reply, love the channel BTW

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You do realize I’m a GPS Camera Drone Pilot and also fly FPV. In the FPV hobby you have 4 types of video (see already it is confusing). Analog video looks terrible on camera but great in front of your eyes. Digital video comes in 3 types and none are compact with the other. Digital video is what a camera drone, like a DJI MAVIC uses, so you get the same image. In the FPV hobby RANGE is determined by your battery and your video signal. As soon as you can’t see where you’re flying, well that is the end of the flight in that direction. FPV pilots know what to do when this happens on any drone.

Hey Cap. Can you tell us why you make these videos when you hardly get nothing and don't charge? I love your vids and have bought most of my drones from your reviews. Thanks in advance.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I love the hobby. Have lots of friends in the RC hobby and we have a blast, so I simply share my joy of the hobby.

I’ve got the frysky QS Remote I can’t find any remote receiver’s anymore?? If you can point me the right way. Everyone says now everyone is using Radiolink, RadioMaster Pocket. ?? I get out of fpv one year now it’s all new gear

[@henrilebovic5229]

Fpv drones have always confused me. Regardless of how much research I do I can't find some nicer quads that are past beginner level. I would like to see a vid like this but with many experienced quads. They don't even have to be kits. Just a decent set up for a price worth buying

You should watch my video series entitled: CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS.

i have a question about the betafpv cetus pro can you help me get the osd from the drone to the cobra s goggles? when i use my goggles i have no flight osd in the goggles is there a way to get it to work

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Whatever you see in the FPV Goggles that came with the CETUS PRO, you will see in any other ANALOG FOV Goggles.

[@gerardmazz]

I see now I had to turn it on lol thanks for the info

Emax tinyhawk brushless under 200 rtf

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately only the OLD (more than two years) Emax RTF kits are under $300, and they just don’t compare, in quality, to the ones in this vid. EMAX does have good RTF kits but they sell for more than $300.

Nice vid thnx. Sorta a side thought, I find it interesting as all get at that I can not find one video on KZbin talking about, on the camera drones, in the app the "VR" option you can push and it splits the screen then you drop your phone into one of those phone VR headsets that were everywhere and now flood thrift stores. Even my 1st $35 Temu special camera drone(brushless motors even) has this in-app ability and if and ONLY IF you don't get sick in normal computer type VR it's pretty neat in it's way. (mega ch-ch-choppy). Awesome (though possibly CCP subsidized to destroy our economy, bad) that we are at a point where a toy can do this. 4 miniature motors, receiver, case, body, wifi all shipped over the lake, I'm fascinated that at this price this is even a thing. That this can be built and shipped over the lake is kinda nuts, they cannot be more then -00.90 cents profit...like how? Bulk is one thing but damn. You see I grew up lusting after R/C helicopters in the 80's but the price to enter...no. Oh also you have to learn how to fly...a helicopter (which btw is now essentially open-air exposed upside-down whirling lawnmower with faster RPM's). I've actually ordered a few little camera's/bits that people are making videos on who put them on R/C cars. Same vid quality but able to transmit smooth video which is the major afforementioned drag, but even those vids I've yet to see someone try attaching one to one of these cheapo drones? Since you no longer NEED the cameras that come with the Temu job that can go, you could strip a bunch a stuff out that's just "cool" looking plastic shell. I get the maneuvering isn't there but I'm interested in, I'm down for just cruising up the coast. Mine'll stay up in the air for while actually AND go pretty far. Like I say I'm looking forward to tinkerin around with the solder gun and playing around for fun. Anyway rambling. WAY long way of saying I just thought it odd that even up to my bit better Contixo F23 Pro, not one mention of the feature inside the app on any single review. Actually one guy who had really nice reviews of mid range camera drones didn't know what those "two rectangles" meant lol, so I commented on it and he's like "what? no way!" I told him don't expect nothing but try it out, funny.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup that was certainly some ramblings 🤣 So I see your problem. It is a simple comprehension problem of defining the differences between the FPV HOBBY (which is what these drones are in) and the GPS CAMERA DRONE HOBBY which includes every drone you mentioned. In simple terms the FPV Hobby is the Advanced drone hobby and the Camera Drone hobby is the beginner drone hobby that even Grandma can fly. Watch this old video of mine explaining the differences: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJWsdnumm9-fpKssi=oN8Xv5_Qy8bjlne8

Very good review. Thank you
