BETAFLIGHT SETUP FOR DUMMIES

[@edhodgson6725]

This video was a huge help. I've never built a quadcopter before now, but I was able to put this video in one screen, while using it to setup my quadcopter in betaflight. Very easy to follow, and the explanations make sense, even to a complete rookie like me. Thanks a lot for making this video. I had no local assistance available, so this was truly invaluable.

[@steve-ofpv101]

Thanks man! I have done it a few times but still watch these videos to kind of just keep it in repetition.

[@caljohnson4619]

Betaflight for Dummies...that's me! :) Thank you, Justin, for another awesome video. You're the man!

[@dronecamps]

Haha. I was hoping someone would catch the humor here. Learning to build quads for me was very hourly intensive. I hope to speed up that process for other people.

[@FloridaWildlife]

I learned something today!! and Bardwell makes everything confusing!

[@aleksanderpors9827]

The part I was most interested in was in the beginning where you told how to bind a transmitter to the reciever, had been lookin' for it all day!

[@CTKix]

Thanx Justin! Many don't do these videos because "everyone else has". I've picked up things from you, Joshua Bardwell and Rotor Riot simply because everyone has their own way of doing things. I think you just saved me tons of headaches on my Xracer X1! Wanted to fly indoors, but was pulling my hair out!

[@txcowboyfpv7898]

this is a great video bud, but the main problems that new people are having are the drives . How to install them. I learned the hard way and got lucky but the Ave Joe may screw his computer or install wrong drives. Wish someone would have a dummy proof video on how to install these drives. Betaflight is actually the easiest part , installing drives are probably the hardest task. You have a straight forward approach to teaching and I think every new guy or lady would benefit if you would make this toturial on drives.. Craig

[@billscott190]

Tnank God Im not the only one struggling with the drivers. I've spent hours and hours watching the various videos and trying over and over again each step but keept hitting the wall. I've pinged the various Face Book goups and I geet IT speek and wouldn't know a serial port from a chicken waffle. Help guys !

[@pablorossi25]

I’m havein this prob it just says waiting for data so I am thinking I need to install the right drive and I haven’t got a clue which one😖

[@lift_king]

[@mikepiotrowski981]

Any luck with the drivers. Having same issue.

[@goballistik1]

[@TMacFPV]

Thanks Justin! Helped tremendously for a BetaFlight newbie.

[@Heffie01]

Just built my first quad from scratch using a Matek F405 board. This tutorial was invaluable to getting my quad flying and controller configured for flight. Thanks :)

[@tonygeddes9558]

Many thanks for this video, Justin. This will help me enormously, us noobs need all the help we can get!

[@josepheustaquio5544]

[@TheGaffanon]

This is awesome thank you you Justin one of the things I like about your videos is you have not assumed we have all this knowledge already you remember what it's like to just start out.

[@the.piledriver6698]

Finally I get it, Thank you so much for making this video, This is by far the BEST beginners BetaFlight tutorial

[@graywoulf]

You have done an outstanding job here!!! Thank you so much for this video. I will use this video as a reference standard as long as it takes me to learn Betaflight.

[@k9frederic535]

You make my day! my quad is reacting to my command. Your video should be on each quad site.

[@hpiproceed97pcp20]

This is hands down the best video on here thank you so much for your help greatly appreciated

[@stevensbox9625]

Dude. I was sooo lost until I watched this video and walked to the steps. I did the most stupidest thing; confused the FS button on my GEPRC Mark3 with the actual VTX button & could not bind to my FrSky X Lite Pro. Thought it was broken & bought 2 more Receivers, the Q X7. Its been a week long nightmare. But thanks to you, I'm on track. Just can't figure out how to get the receiver to work with Liftoff.

[@garysherman7396]

i put betaflight on my chromebook and it works like a charm no driver install just installed in and plugged my quad in

[@tonil6604]

thanks Justin! would help to get me in the air and doing a good setup! go on love da channel

[@corycanfield545]

[@pcm2638]

It would be great to also assist the Spektrum users. Missed the boat for a lot of people

[@uneekpcs]

Thanks for taking time to do the vid Nicely explained

[@tiaarredondo2755]

Let me begin with, as far as my knowledge of drones and flying and RC's and all that goes with it,.. I have no Idea whatsoever what Im doing, how to do it, or if Im even doing anything! I just liked the thing and one day, after two years of going back and forth over getting this drone or not, I finally stepped up, Soon as I bought it, I immediately hit cancel, but the purchase went through regardless; and because I tried to cancel the order, even though I paid for a 2 day delivery, took a month for the drone to arrive. Finally, on Thursday, last week I got it! I spent that whole day boggled as to why I couldn't get in the air. When my girlfriend suggested that I might have the wings placed incorrectly, I thought she was joking, all the wings looked identical. But after she showed me several videos of my bad wing placement, took her advice and changed my wings, and it flew!. Goggles worked too, I'm on my way! I got the drone in the air, not for very long and not very stable either, so I watched more videos hoping to gain some knowledge. On KZbin I heard many talking about this CLEAR FLIGHT website and another one BETA FLIGHT. Im interested, I go to the web site plug in my drone and I hit something;... Don't know what and Don't know how, but now the drone won't respond, just incessantly beebs! It doesn't register on my Fs-I6; and on both of those web sites now, it reeds Im Dis Armed! and in a fail safe mode. I have ZERO idea what I did! I called a drone shop, 100 bucks to diagnosis, I just spent $400 getting the drone! I think that kinda bites but I really wanna get back in the air, Can anyone help me out? Again I have the Arris 250 and a FlySky Fsi6 radio, How do I get them to talk again and Yes; I was given a bind unit; but I have no Idea what to insert it in to bind my radio! Thank you for your time, I've been wasting the past 11 of mine trying to get back in the air, with no luck, .UGH!! Thank you in advance!

[@pkeaton1]

Big Thanks! Great video. Very helpful.

[@scarfacefpv7822]

Great how to video. This helped me alot . Thank you

[@chadbochenek89]

I am having a hard time having my taranis working in betaflight, the copter is binded, have ports set, and when i plug in battery, and go to receiver it either say waiting for data, or i dont see any stick movements on screen, any help out there would be great

[@snwvolcom]

Thanks Justin for the great video!

[@hackerzgaming6173]

I needed this.. thank you!

[@gbro8822]

Wow, this was great. Could you please do one for cleanflight 2.0. I flashed a Naze Rev6 from 1.2.3 to 2.0 and all lost everything. The stock setting look very high for beginners like me. It's OK if you don't, I know you are very busy. I was able to get the leds back working. lol. Thank you for all your time you put into your videos.

[@sarunasmykolaitis2112]

super video helps for beginers like me :) and make more videos your are Awesome to explain everything. thanks

[@wreckingball8881]

I could kiss you! Finally someone that speaks English and not code

[@WilliamAlexander]

I like the camera platform drones

[@Heiple2007]

Extremely informative, nice work. Jeff

[@tony1954]

Thanks. I reset all settings back to default, and then nothing worked. This video helped me out a lot.

[@mattfisher6042]

Much needed info, thank you!!

[@raymundoalba6899]

hey the video was very helpful. i have problem with my drone whenever i move the throttle up the drone stays on the ground and sometimes only two motors spin unless i change the direction.

[@nutsidea]

Cannot connect to Betaflight even after you loaded the driver onto your mac? It could very well be the USB cable you are using is a power charging ONLY cable. Find one with DATA transfer enabled. It should connect nicely. Most USB cables that came with your Android phone will work because it allows you to connect to your comp. Took me half a day to figure this out. Hope that helps.

[@dustin4428]

Might be a dumb question but I am new to this. I just got a jjpro p175 and a x4rsb I am trying to set it up on sbus. I have channels 5 6 and 7 on my taranis for my switches. And am running on channel 5 to the sbus port from the FC but every time I try and go under the reciver tab I am getting no input at all. I have set everything up like you have in this video. But still nothing please help.

[@jasonhiner7686]

I followed the video yet when I get to the radio portion my throttles don't read. my receiver shows it successfully bound. I am using a qx7 radio, frsky xm mini, on an I-flight ix2. I also have a cheerson cx117 that my PC doesn't recognize and won't even show up when I connect to cleanflight. it's starting to become quite disheartening.

[@boobtube1974]

While checking your stick inputs, it shows the channel map to be AETR1234. I thought FrSky was supposed to be TAER1234? I'm wondering if that is my problem with my stick inputs set to TAER1234? Going crazy trying to get set up with my new Lizard95! Please help! I'm totally new to Betaflight.

[@Fonseeker]

@Dronecamps I'm a noob setting up a cinelog20 dji rc 2 dji 03 PNP version from Geprc. My motor direction came opposite to this video, do you have any tips?

[@gymzillaflores6335]

Hey Drone Camps RC. I wondering if you could help me. I am no getting any detection of movement in betaflight. Quad connects but the 3D model will not move. Can you please help?

[@chrispearson7303]

Thanks Justin,another great video,still waiting for my taranis so I can start checking my build.Don't know if it will fly or whether I can fly it.Will find out.

[@k4jsteward]

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try

[@k4jsteward]

I keep getting this message "boot loader not responding" message when I try to update the firmware. Everything else works fine up to that point. Emax Hawk 5

[@jasoncummings64]

Hey Justin.. I'm with you until I hit firmware flasher.. yes.. first minute. Nothing shows up in my dropdown for my t.h. freestyle.. what am I missing?

[@Germanbattle83]

Very very helpful, thank you very much.

[@rileypalmer7550]

I know this is a noob question, but is it possible to connect the Thunder QQ Super flight controller to betaflight?

[@grahamjw75]

My quad is a wizard x220 rtf and I upgraded to a frsky receiver for my QX7 and have been unsuccessful in getting betaflight to recognize my controller I've flown it before with the flysky remote it came with so do I need to reflash it? Or just change the settings? I just do not want to mess anything up

[@carsonfeese8649]

1: does setting up the arm and disarm apply same for the Flysky I6 with the eachine wizard 220 2: is the eachine wizard completely ready to fly out of the box.(besides charging the battery)

[@r3verseb4ckfl1p]

Great video, thanks a lot for sharing.

[@hukchone4521]

Thank you very much. I'm totally beginner and finally found how to set up by BETAFLIGHT. I will try . Thanks again. by the way I'm now flying in LEVEL mode. Want to try Horizon Mode. Can I set up in BETA FLIGHT ? I will try.

[@vhockada]

If this video is for dummies and I still cannot figure out what’s going on with my beta and drone then what does that make me?

[@herihonda7366]

thanks for the video. question: 1. just recently upgraded my FC to SP racing f3 acro 6 dof. but why my drone can not be stable and jump to the left if I give a trottle. if in angle mode my drone can hover but still shift to left slowly, what should i do, should i set PID or something wrong with the motor? 2. if i already messed up PID how to return it? 3. Can the transmitter flysky t6 communicate using sbus? thanks a lot, i like to watch your vidio, and sorry if there is one wrong word. heri from indonesia

[@larrylopez721]

Excellent video!

[@HOPARK-e8w]

Nice video for a self-learner like me. Just a question here. I am still very confusing and wonder why Horizon mode is bound to Aux1, while the other modes(Horizon & Air) are controlled by Aux2.....

[@russellschwausch2437]

I have exactly the same question! It is at 17:20 in the video. But when you change the switch, the little indicator bar moves for both Angle (Aux 2) & Horizon (Aux 1) modes??? How is that possible?

[@troyholio4997]

really helpful video, but i have a question, my Leader 120's motors spins simultaneously even on "motor idle throttle 0" .. and i cant move "master" inside Motors tab".. And if i turn up throttle on TX motors 3 and 4 go up but motors 1 and 2 stays low.. thnks bro!

[@vasanthakumarvelkumar3776]

Hi than your for video. I have a question , How to identify my ESC is connecting with my FCB.?

[@kwadlife4106]

Man I need some help. I have the racestar f4s and both sbus and tx6 pads came off I was able to find the trace on sbus pad and it's working but I'm worried about it giving me problems can I use the "led strip" pad for Ibus? I know somehow you can use it for smartport but I can't seem to figure that out.

[@aaircrash1]

I have a egg 130 on beta flight 3.2.1 and on the first flight it was ok but I did notice that the number one motor was a little behind motors 2,3, and 4 so I connected it to beta flight and looked at the motor tab and looked ok so now it will not arm and all looks good in B.F. in the mode tab the arming switch moves from the left to the right and the hash mark goes where it should be at, any help would be greatly appreciated ,I would like to fly this before the rain comes here in California so thanks for your time.Love your vids

[@redwine3437]

Looks like a good video. Thanks

[@thedog77]

Please can you help. I'm very new to quadcopters all my radio gear is spectrum can a use spectrum Receiver and radio on this type of quad or things like furibee x215 pro and how do I sort out the channels. Hope you can help

[@scotthendrix13]

I fly with a switch for air mode,is there any difference at all in acro mode and air mode?i have never really understood this...thnx

[@markfloyd3352]

I'm lost at 3:35. When I connect my Omnibusf4sd "3.1.7 almost a year old" to betaflight, the COM3 changes to COM4 and get the red disconnect button and get that black screen to see the what board I have. Thats the only changes I see. I also downloaded the CP210x Drivers and STM USB VCP Drivers. Im not sure if I extracted them and installed correctly or not.

[@pavlosgrivas343]

Hi thanks for the video, great help. However having done all the steps I still don’t get a reaction on my receiver page. I did the mistake and erased accidentally everything from the tiny 6 without back up and now struggling to reset it but no reaction. I have the Frsky SM+ receiver (Eu version). Any suggestions?

[@Punkymanification]

Thanks for the vid! I cannot get my 3Evo board(baby hawk)to talk to my RX in beta flight. They are bound correctly and I have UDART3 selected and Serial & Sbus and I get nothing. The board is being picked up on BF, but it does not show any stick movements. I have also tried the other UDARTS, any thoughts as to what might be wrong thanks!!!

[@DaytonaJim78]

doing my first build as we speak thanks for this!

[@CharlesTLam]

Hey love your vids, you helped me out wih my first Betaflight and worked out great. Question, I just purchased a new Aurora 90 but I’m geting a 1 second delay with my sticks on Betaflight and of course in real world when trying to fly. Its impossible as you can imagine . What could be going on? I flashed update and have Frsky qx7 bound to Aurora 90..but never had delay like this...it was like this out of the box...thanks

[@flyinghighoveryou4872]

My mobula 7 is beeping with 2s single battery. Beta flight will only let me put 5 for maximum cell voltage. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

[@mautorres759]

Hello. My brand new quad (f4 FC, source one frame) starts to oscillate very hard when I hold it in my hand and when trying to fly, it just flip over and dies. What could be happening?
