FPV Tutorial #3: How To Take Sharp Turns

[@shawnpatterson3385]

I got more from this video than 10 hours of practice on my own. Thank you

[@ryanleonard2293]

i second this

[@vertx706]

I third this

[@ryanleonard2293]

this is killer advice. thanks. in 10 minutes of practicing what you're saying while watching the video i've made more progress than who knows how many hours of trying to figure it out on my own

[@ryanleonard2293]

the looking at the base of the object you're turning around is what really did it for me

[@Danimal-3D]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@drelephanttube]

Nice tutorial with no bullshit and just enough necessary detail.

[@christopherm-84]

Great tutorial, thank you. I've watched a few others and they also mention being aggressive but never mentioned where you should be looking and when you should be starting your turn, as you broke it down. I will now be able to properly analyze what I'm doing and applying these 3 steps👍🏻

[@Accurize2]

I sort of had that ah ha moment with fast sharp turns last night in the sim. But now I know why occasionally they don't go as precise as I'd like. Thanks for breaking down some really sensical points and their effects.

[@platty9237]

This has helped a ton. As a noob, this has been the most helpful exercise I’ve run into. Other beginner exercises don’t require the precision. So this is just an observation that’s helped me troubleshoot things: Too much roll, not enough yaw = you’ll drop your height and bump the ground during the turn Not enough roll, too much yaw = you’ll come out rising higher It seems the best balance is where you keep your elevation and momentum as constant as possible. It would also seem that if you come into a turn too low, more yaw will help you get back up to a good level, etc.

iloveyour sacredcow thanks for the feedback!

[@lecodsportif]

I have flown FPV for a while now and am ok with freestyle but always not been confident with race gates etc, this video has made a massive difference in my flying thank you so much for making it. Really well explained and put to us the viewer. Keep up the good work :)

[@Danimal-3D]

lecodsportif wow that’s means so much!! Thank you!! It’s truly all about practice - and I’m really glad this was helpful! Feel free to make suggestions if you’re interested in learning something else’s I haven’t made a video on!

[@FlockofSmeagles]

Very helpful, I've watched quite a few videos and this is the first one that's pointed out that you want to be focusing downward toward the base of your turn. It makes so much more sense now, thankyou.

[@Danimal-3D]

[@Danimal-3D]

Chris Riley Music Drone Videos awesome man!

[@ChrisParayno]

Dang, just changing the focal point helped so much! Thanks

[@IgorAntarov]

Helped a lot. My turning skills changed instantly after I've watched this video. Thank you!

[@Danimal-3D]

Igor Antarov that’s so awesome to hear! Thanks for the feedback!

[@neilclay5835]

Great vid man, points well made.

[@freeflyk4511]

[@paulofernandoee]

Awesome tips

[@Sombre____]

Nice tutorial. Nobody explain this on most fpv tutorial.

[@archer4922]

Super helpful. After 4 years just now realizing I’m doing it wrong lol.

[@zephyrfpv9871]

Great tutorial, hope you are well! Cheers :)

[@OhYeahFPV]

thanks for sharing

[@dugy40]

Thank you. It’s like I am on ice. I slide sideways forever.

[@adamrroper]

This video is very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make it! I'm going to watch all of your flying tutorial videos.

[@Danimal-3D]

Adam Roper very happy it help! Let me know if you run into more questions or suggestions for other tutorials

[@tycoontrading9352]

Can you make the video how to find a perfect rates?

[@ABDUNmaniiac]

Thank you, this is exact my problem. I am so nooby.

[@chrismartinphotography]

The penny has finally dropped!! Thank you!

[@Danimal-3D]

Hahah you bet! Hit me up if you've got other recommendations of videos

[@dakzer55]

While turning, I noticed throttle dropped a little for a split second. Is dropping throttle slightly on turning needed? As some experts recommend doing this. Thanks

[@rolisaenz]

Dan, awesome tutorials !!! hey what app you use to record your screen, i want to record my sim flights, Thanks!!

[@Danimal-3D]

Rolo Saenz thanks man! I use “OBS” to record. It’s free and works well. Pro-tip: disable the preview window of the recording while doing a video to not drop your FPS too much

[@anotherkindof]

excellent tutorial, thanks!

[@Danimal-3D]

mavemillsmusic thank you!

[@namikare7701]

my right ear really enjoyed this video lmao great vid tho

[@erikm9768]

Damn, this is so well explained!!! Thanks a lot!

[@Danimal-3D]

Glad to help!

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

i keep crashing into the ground when trying to make the turns

[@twistedwizardry5153]

Any chance you could make a tut on how to go through a gate and immediately do a 180 into another gate beside it going the opposite direction? I always have to go 15 ft through the first one before i can stop and go back through the second

[@Danimal-3D]

Hey there! Yeah I've got a couple tips for ya -- 1) Slow your quad down -- in the technical areas, you'll go faster overall if you just slow down and make tighter turns. This will also help you not overshoot from one gate to the next. 2) Anticipate the turn into the next gate. Actually start yaw'ing through the 1st gate to point yourself to the next one. This will help line you up to the next gate. Again -- slowing down will help a lot. 3) Practice lots-- I've made a track for you in Velocidrone titled: "180practice" in the Football stadium. Go ahead and download it to practice. Happy flying and God bless ya.

[@Danimal-3D]

Evan Sass check out the reply above - hopefully it’s helpful!

[@belgiumgamer1989]

wow thx for you vids im stil learning

[@Danimal-3D]

keep it up! it's a super fun hobby

[@doktordrone]

very nice, thanks so much :)

[@Danimal-3D]

doktor drone you’re welcome!

[@javierdeloscobos3236]

What's your camera angle???. Great video!

[@Danimal-3D]

javier De los Cobos I race at 45 degrees

[@Danimal-3D]

javier De los Cobos and thanks! Glad it helped. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d find helpful

[@SILVIOFRANCO1]

Thanks Man

[@Spontzors]

Download link for the map ?

[@Danimal-3D]

A7mads you can find this one in the stock maps of Velocidrone. It’s called Split-S Reverse. The gates will be setup but the path I’m flying in the video doesn’t match how the track is meant to be run. Do you can just use the map to fly thru the gates without running the race

[@Spontzors]

Danimal FPV thank alot will give it a try

[@Spontzors]

I’m finding that racing through gates is much easier than freestyle is that something normal ? Thought its the other way around.. been flying drones before but new to fpv, but seeing my self better on racing is making me think to focus on racing.. thoughts ?

[@Danimal-3D]

A7mads yeah usually hitting gates is more difficult - sounds like you’re going to be a good racer!

[@Spontzors]

Danimal FPV ohh well i wanted to initially do some freestyle not going through flags and pylons lol.. will try freestyle on sim more maybe i didn’t give freestyle lots of time yet mostly doing flags

[@twistedwizardry5153]

Nice man thanks
