Drone Flying Tips - FPV Beginner Mistakes

Flying FPV quadcopters is challenging. And racing FPV is even more so. This video points out 7 common mistakes that beginners in FPV flying make and how to avoid them. If you want to get into drone racing, this video is a good place to start. Hopefully after watching this you can avoid learning "the hard way" by crashing your expensive drone! For a good and inexpensive FPV drone to learn on, check out the JJRC H32GH on Gearbest. LINK: www.anrdoezrs.net/links/814089...
The camera I use in my videos is the Panasonic Lumix Z300.
Check it out here. amzn.to/2ip0ptE
It shoots 4K, has an external microphone jack, and with a flip around screen, it's perfect for KZbin videos!

[@Fr3ak00]

also don't fly near cars, people or power lines -.- we don't need any more idiots spoiling it for everyone

[@internaldarkness6444]

Fr3ak00 ya

[@barryhinselwood665]

You got that right dude ... Video spoiler in this video straight away lol!

[@ParchyXl]

Wait- you're NOT supposed to FPV with your mouth open???

[@readysetdrone]

I used to think so, and then a mosquito flew into my mouth...no fun!

[@ParchyXl]

Lol, I'm new to this, I anticipate eating many many bugs, it's all protein anyway. I also know my head will move, it always did when flying tv missiles in battlefield, ah well it's not about looking cool :D

[@fatmoeller]

Great informative video thank you!!!

[@jacquessteventon]

If you see a road, don't fly towards it like this guy. Probably the best tip out there.

[@GintarisZim]

Notes: 1. Don't use 600 mW VTX when you flying with friends. Max 200 mW, best 25mW. 2. Use Cloverleaf antennas. 3. Bigger angle of FPV camera, bigger speed, but you must to get used to it. 4. PID's and rates, you must to calibrate your PID's and get used to rates. 5. Better use CCD 600 TVL cameras and forget for some time CMOS. 6. Use 2.8mm , 2.5mm lenses from begining, 2.5mm is the best. and 7. Don't fear to crash, every crash gives you more experience :)

[@readysetdrone]

All great notes! Thanks for watching.

[@Deploracle]

We know the vast majority of FPV pilots are not licensed to use 5.8GHz. Since people do it helps to know that, on Amateur bands, we are always supposed to use the minimum power necessary to maintain communications. No. 1 is a great point. W5USB

[@iiiDartsiii]

Also if you crash and it looks like it landed fine, don't fly it without going to see with your own eyes that nothing is damaged or about to come loose before you fly again.

[@danielanderson9400]

Absolutely, that's how you lose props

[@Skulls-gg1yg]

Exactly, almost had chopped a battery by not checking before takeoff.

[@BrianHollingerSHTF]

Another good tip is one I learned when I used to ride dirtbikes. If you don't want to hit it, don't look at it directly. Look where you want to go and your brain will follow.

[@readysetdrone]

Very true! Thanks for the comment!

[@Nanuk]

[@MariusIhlar]

Same in discgolf! 😊 👏

[@OregonDARRYL]

Kudos for having the guts to show and admit your own mistakes for others to learn from. Thanks.

[@arctrooper1230]

Darryl Edington nerdswill be nerds...always pointing out flaws or mistakes of others.how bout people go elsewhere if alls your gonna do is judge..im a newbie with drones and all videos are instructional.

[@scottbingham1907]

My tip is that goggles are a very "All or nothing" way to fly. If you're used to flying line of sight it's a big jump up to only being able to see what the quads seeing. The transition can be easier if you get one of the cheep 7" all in one VRX/monitors (Can be had for $40 to $50 if you get a no name brand from China) and fly with that for a few months first. With a TX mounted monitor you can easily glance up to fly LOS if you get into trouble. It's not so easy to pop off the goggles and find where the quad is while your eyes are still trying to adjust to the suddenly bright daylight. Once you can happily fly from the screen you'll find the jump to goggles is easy (And you'll still have a screen for friends to oggle at you're flying on while you're goggled in. :) )

[@DigiiFox]

You can use simulations to practice before flying for real.

[@markevogt]

GREAT tips - every one of us WINCED when we saw you go over the road near the car and then hit the power line :-| ... NEWBIE TIP: Bring a CHAIR, and SIT DOWN while you're piloting ! That really helps with both stability AND with "environment awareness" by establishing a sort of mental "center-of-your-universe". I don't know WHY sitting in a chair helps SO much... but it DOES. Period. So GET A CHAIR... :-)

[@readysetdrone]

Agreed!

[@stocksinthestreets4702]

Awesome video! I love that you are willing to show the mistakes that you make as well. It reminds me that even with experience, mistakes will still be made

[@barry.anderberg]

Also don't fly over roads!

[@readysetdrone]

Very true.

[@larsfreeburg1535]

Or fly at least 100 ft over roads if absolutely necessary.

[@markmathews5117]

@@larsfreeburg1535 Just starting so its 200ft.. LOL

[@psyonicwombat7553]

I always bring a folding chair with me when flying FPV and sit comfortably. This also helps with any disorientation that might happen. Great tips. Thanks for the vid.

[@readysetdrone]

Excellent point - I actually do that too, but happen to be standing in a few of these clips. Thanks for watching!

[@johngraboski]

Hey bud, you're ahead of a lot of the other tutorial peeps vids. You're super clear concise and clearly know what you're talking about. Thanks for not rambling like some others do. keep up the great work! Merry Christmas to you and your family. John

[@SteveO4478]

Thanks for that vid I just received my fatshark se and was trying fpv on one of my racing quads for the first time and it's not as easy as it looks on videos! It was like learning how to fly again it will definitely take some time to learn this skill!

[@readysetdrone]

Right on. It does take practice. You might consider getting one of the smaller Blade or other "indoor" FPV quads to learn on. They are definitely easier than a 4S racer to start with. But keep flying - it gets easier!

[@SteveO4478]

Most definitely! I am gonna turn my xk x100 into a tiny woop that way I will get some learning with acro flight as well.

Thank you!!!! Good tips!!!

[@DroneWolfMedia]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing. I would love to get some fat sharks for my DJI P3P, but since I recently past my Part 107 certification, I'm hesitant to take the leap since the FAA clearly states that flying your drone with these are strictly prohibited. FPV Racers are in for a rude awakening if they intend on competing. I spoke to my Proctor after taking my test and she said that since prizes & money are involved, FPV Racers will also need to get part 107 certified, and that the same rules will apply with regards to these types of goggles. Hopefully they will revisit this rule in the near future since most FPV races are confined to a closed course. Anywho, I don't mean to rain on anyones parade guys... I just wanted to pass along the info I was told by my test proctor 2 weeks ago. Thanks again for the video, keep up the good work! :)

[@Chalky.]

I don't have the time to practice enough outside so I'm still really bad at FPV, so just ordered a Eachine E010 and hoping the 5.8GHZ camera from my DWI Dowellin X6C will fit on somehow.

dont forget about DVR in googles or screen, it very helpfull when you lost your quad in high grass for example. You can watch video on a monitor or other devices and find where you crash

[@alexanderb8828]

hi, could you advise me to use a barometer and or a magnetometer for starting FPV? It's because I bought a small 25cm race with Naze32 but without GPS, magnetometer or barometer. Thanks for your reply Alex

[@tituscowell1457]

I would never be able to get it down. GOOD THING YOU DID!

[@ericcurry1119]

Great video , I used to fly fpv but it’s a hassle in Los Angeles - few legal areas to fly fpv. One thing that sort of bugs me is that nobody talks about how fpv pilots legally need a spotter observer to be legal. Lots of rules that sort of force us to break the law.

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for watching! I'm sorry that you had to give up flying. 😕 Hopefully, we can fly FPV legally without a spotter in the future.

[@pottyputter05]

Ya we pretty much have to just break the law

[@DRONERC33]

thanks great help

[@titowaps555]

Thanks gor the tips. Im beginner to fpv

[@michaelallensteele]

What you discuss is the tip of the iceberg. Set failsafe on receiver often! Use a spotter. Use Blackbox! Don't fly with music in ears. 170 degrees gopro lens will help you see corners a little better. FPV parking lines will help you line up. Antennas weaken and need replacement sooner than you think. Lipo fires can happen. Risk vs Reward. Knowing when to quit. If something isn't working right ground it and disarm.

[@readysetdrone]

All great points! I'm feeling like I should probably do a part 2 for this video. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!

[@michaelallensteele]

Ready Set Drone You probably should make a checklist. I've seen 100 ways video several years back. Then plan accordingly.

[@hernilsoriano4873]

I guess you really are learning by doing. You did 4 out of those 7 things. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah - this video is about a year old - I'm actually a much better FPV flyer now than when I made the video. I should probably do an update some time soon!

[@JF743]

6:06 "there would be nothing worse than thinking you're flying your own quad and you're actually flying someone else's and it ends up lost", I'm sorry, but yeah, there is something worse that could happen from that: you could injure someone, it could be you or someone randomly passing by. I honnestly think this is worse than loosing it. Thanks for the tips tho, I will keep that in mind when I get my first FPV quad.

[@readysetdrone]

+JFs743 Fair enough. Thanks for the comment.

[@SpicyFPV]

One of the tips that I was given early in my FPV journey that I think is pretty close to one of the most crucial: DO NOT FLY STABILITY/ANGLE mode. Suck it up, crash a lot, and learn how to fly properly. If your goal is to forever fly really slow and just kind of hover/mosey around? Then by all means stick with stability. If your goal is to be able to fly around with what appears to be Jedi reflexes (honestly it is just muscle memory) as you zoom around trees, throwing tricks over obstacles, and having complete control of the quad? You need to learn acro. The issue is though that to learn acro, you have to UNLEARN stability as there are several bad habits stability gives you that will cause immediate crashes in acro. So the sooner the better.

[@SpicyFPV]

Phil M I respectfully disagree. If you jump straight into flying full acro with a 5” quad? Yeah, it will be an expensive journey. That is why I always advise people to start with a betaflight capable brushed micro. Often dubbed a “whoop.” They are cheap, they are relatively durable, and you can even fly in your house as they have ducts. Even if you do break a frame? Replacement is

[@619gig7]

FPV "First Person View" transmission products with output power greater than 25mW require a HAM license to operate legally in the USA. This involves a 35-question multiple-choice test and a small fee. You can contact an amateur radio club in your area for information or assistance in obtaining a license. Also see the Amateur Radio Relay Network web page about obtaining a license. Customers outside of the USA should understand and follow all telecommunications or other regulations in their area.

I want to start a youtube channel for my drone. can you give me some tips on how to get you're videos out to the public?

[@kcward73]

Good advise.... I'm having a hell of a time not looking at it. I don't have a high speed racing drone (Phantom 3 standard) but I cant fly it with out physically looking at it. I try do do laps around my court and only look at my phone but i have a hard time judging distance. On my camera it looks like i am close to a tree or a car but when i look up at it on like 5 ft away. Maybe I will get the hang of it or i will just keep doing some flying where i just go up 400 ft and look around.

[@readysetdrone]

I had the same issue when I started. The biggest difference is the goggles...way easier to fly FPV with goggles than it is on a phone or tablet. Also - like you said - you usually have more room than you think you do...especially with the smaller FPV quads. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@butchs3495]

I'm surprised you didn't mention having a spotter.

[@readysetdrone]

That's a great one. Thanks!

[@bramfliervoet4102]

Hey Ready Set Drone. I want to buy a drone but I don't know which one I should buy. The drone can be around $100 of lower, have a fpv function and have a switchable battery. Do you know one??

[@ModyKhan]

I have been flying model planes when quadcopters were not even conceived. Before 2.4GHZ technology, we used to fly on FM frequencies,. mine was 72.810 and we wanted to make sure at the field that nobody is on that frequency or if being reckless by flipping on the radio, disaster was inevitable. My question to you, since 2.4 frequencies do not interfere as it's used a broad spectrum so why do we have to worry about the interference of the frequencies that other people flying? Can you clarify that. BTW, I am a huge fan of Hitec and JR radios.

[@drewx10]

Another problem is, sometimes when you crash and you've been flying FPV, you may not know where you crashed. Fly with a buddy to help spot where you went down.

[@Dangineering]

I don't know why but flying quads without a fpv is incredibly easy and I picked it up within the first battery on a tiny little Proto X. However I assume that actually flying fpv might be disorienting. It sounds stupid, but I feel like I am going to have a really hard time keeping my head still.

[@zipfreesty]

Advice for author. Always look at area where you plan to fly. It may safe your drone

[@DasAmerican]

I got an FPV and flew it over cement, BIG MISTAKE!!!!

[@jimmbbo]

Flying FS helicopters has similar problems with seeing wires... Looking for power poles and staying above them keeps you out of the wires...

[@mydallnet]

Hi, I have some quadcopters (H107, DM003, X100 and X251). I want to try a racer/fpv quad. Do you have 1 or 2 models to suggest for a beginner to racer quad? Thanks a lot!

[@readysetdrone]

Awesome! Kind of depends on how much you want to spend and how "beginner" you want it to be. A cheap and decent beginner FPV quad is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqXJXquIq6xlf80 It's more of an indoor or light wind outdoor quad. Also check out these 2 playlists - the first one is reviews of different drones (including several FPV). kzbin.info/aero/PLhgh8iq8dbWQN2xMAowMxvh7H372CxmLF The second one is all FPV related videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLhgh8iq8dbWSmxrgbjLC_BgoH-MfSzpNd If you want a more specific recommendation, let me know more details on what you are after (indoor/outdoor/more toy/more serious racer/etc.) Thanks for watching!

[@mydallnet]

Thanks for the information! I saw your review for the Flex RC Owl Storm Edition. This quad look awesome but with our dollar change rate is to expensive for me :o( Between these model, can you tell me the one your will recommand : Eachine Wizard X220, Eachine Blade 185 or Kingkong 210GT? Thanks again!

[@alozaaao8548]

The king kong 210GT is awesome. If you want to get more experience buy a micro racer like a 110 size or brushed build.

[@2000prhegde]

Great tips , how do you rate another cheap FPV XK X250 compared to JJRC H32GH ?

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks! I have never flown the FPV XK X250, however I HAVE flown the JJRC H32GH and I like it alot. It will work with Fat Shark or other 5.8Ghz goggles, which is great. Here's a link to the video I did on it. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqXJXquIq6xlf80

[@koonchan2241]

Is FPV monitor or goggle better for beginners? I don't see people fly race quads with FPV screens only, so just wondering.

[@readysetdrone]

Goggles are easier than flying from a monitor.

[@koonchan2241]

Ya, that's the one I m using now. Works well for me as a beginner.

[@Bergwacht]

thanks

[@andersbath]

FPV looks really fun and I'm thinking about trying it out. I have one question though; sometimes, like in this video, you see a video clip from the fpv that looks like something from the 80s TV quality-wise. My small experience from phantom is that the fpv signal is much better than that. Is ''tis really how it is to fly FPV? Can't you fly FPV with like 720p or something? I understand you use the 5.8GHz for FPV, is it always that bad of a signal? Hoping someone can make this clear for me.

[@readysetdrone]

So FPV is over 5.8Ghz as you said. It is an analog signal and that is why it drops out. The reasoning (I think) is that analog signals have dropout, but they don't disappear completely like when you lose digital signal. You would not want your screen going blank while you were flying. As far as DJI (Occusync and Lightbridge), those will come in to play now that DJI has released it's goggles. But to start out flying FPV, it's cheapest and easiest to learn on the 5.8Ghz system. The dropout depends on where you are flying, the wattage of your transmitter, type of antennas, etc. Hope that helps!

[@wesp3181]

These tips are common sense. In my mind I would of said things like Secure you're antennas so you don't clip them or tips how to make your motors not come in so hot

[@mrb2917]

[@nbl23]

Is it legal to fly so close to the road where there is moving traffic?

[@rosyfoxgaming5489]

yes

[@mrb2917]

who cares

[@barryhinselwood665]

High is also fine ... and low too ... You're going to need to punch out for flips especially and low flying will tone up your reflex actions and throttle control ...

[@readysetdrone]

Great point. Thanks for the comment!

[@micahnightwolf]

What would be seriously cool is if the camera (assuming it has a gimbal) would look around in response to the pilot's head movements.

[@readysetdrone]

There is some head tracking equipment available. I believe that the new DJI Goggles are going to let you do that with the Mavic. Mine should be arriving soon, so I will find out more soon.

[@McLoaferson]

I believe flying over roads with passing cars is illegal and flying near power lines. just a heads up. i don't want to see you getting fined for a mistake! fly safe!

[@readysetdrone]

Yes, you are right. I was not intending to fly over the road in this case, but there is a big tree right by the ball field and I was going around it when I hit the power line. Believe me...lesson learned! Thanks for watching!

[@samn5362]

what are some good starter drones for racing or even for just photography?

[@readysetdrone]

Look around on the channel - I have a bunch of them. Really depends on what you want to do and what your budget is.

[@samn5362]

Ready Set Drone budget probably $200

[@TheKrisBunch]

Your last tip about transmitter channel is a very good one. But it needs to be taken a step further. Even after you and your group of friends have figured out who is going to fly on what channel you NEED to warn others when you power up. Even if you are on separate channels there is a good chance that when you power on your quad and VTX it will cause a temporary blip in someone's video. So a "powering up" warning, wait for them to acknowledge then power up. That way the person already flying can enter stable flight first. Also it should be noted that even if you are on separate channels but someone has a powerful VTX you can over run other's signals. I have the Cricket pro that can do 25/200/600mw. If I fly with people who have 200mw VTX I have to make sure and set mine to 200, otherwise when I come close to the flight line others will get interference. I would also throw in, don't get discouraged. You are going to crash, especially when you start getting a bit more confident and start pushing your comfort zone. It is all about stick time and practice. Flying FPV is very challenging and the skilled pilots who have put in hours upon hours of flight time practicing make it look really easy.

[@readysetdrone]

All great comments! Thanks. You are totally right about warning before you plug in your transmitter - I have found that if you are using a 600mw transmitter or even a 200, you can totally scramble other people's signals even if you are on a different channel. And nobody wants to be "that guy"!

[@StacemanFPV]

[@dannyseverythings4927]

I bought this drone and there's no gps and no come back home thing on it. But I made a mistake. It was my fault. I thought the front of the drone was facing me and that was not the case. So it ends up 300 yards away and stuck in a 15 foot tall tree. Took me all night to find it, thanks to that lights on it I was able to find it. Lol, I was so worried

[@sootchuckers]

I prefer flying at 100-200 ft over roads with an untested setup at full throttle while drinking a beer through a straw

[@bubstoofilthy]

Aye i know where you were, i can't remember if that's a middle school, or an elementary school. But we used to play lacrosse there.(the place with the two fields)

[@matthausadamitz2127]

Slow and Low are your best friends when beginning with acro - loose control? disarm no harm done. Accidentely throttle up? - np, you where flying slow and low: 1m drop won't do any harm ;)

[@ryzz3340]

what would be a good beginner drone?

[@readysetdrone]

Syma X5C is my favorite inexpensive beginner drone.

[@kennethholland1502]

You should spend some time fixing your fpv gear. The signal breakup just around the park was really bad

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment. I'm curious what you would recommend. I believe my Fat Sharks and VTX are working well. I have found that the signal varies depending on a variety of factors (sometimes it's clearer than other times) but if you know a way for me to get a clearer video signal by "fixing" my gear, please share specifics.

[@vee3d]

does the fpv google graphic really look like 30yr old video tapes?

[@lucaschapman1966]

wow, that was a communications line, but i cant believe you almost ran into power lines.... (by the way they are the bare wires at the top of the pole....)
