I can't land my drone!

[@chrisnrs354]

you know what man, No one ever talks about how landing is so crazy difficult at the start because in a Sim you don't actually land you just reset it, hovering is also very difficult

[@chasemomo]

Exactly! I was thinking about that, there's no "landing drills" if you wanna call it that.. for sims yet! It's almost disregarded lol. I think I Have been figuring it out better though.... i was disarming way too late lol

[@Michelsen3K]

I agree. I'm not an expert. Hovering is difficult because of the camera angle i guess. I practiced hovering with tinywhopps in the game "Liftoff" an nearly 0 degrees camera angle.Landing just quickly press disarm close above the ground like in the sim 😂

[@jasonsuffolk]

Helps to get it properly calibrated for hovering

[@brandonbrodbeck6688]

I literally practiced for a week for like 3 hours a day just lifting off and hovering for like 5 seconds and landing until it was second nature with or without goggles

[@chasemomo]

@@brandonbrodbeck6688 oh interesting, ive never thought to do it without goggles... could be a fun experiment 😂😂

[@chasemomo]

Hello! Welcome! And thank you for watching!

[@kobae6030]

That "wobble" is called prop-wash. It happens when the quad enters it's own turbulence, like when doing a split S, or a sharp turn into turbulent air. It can be fixed with a little bit of tuning, there's heaps of guides, or you can play around with some of the presets in betaflight.

[@chasemomo]

Awesome, thank you so much for this info! Changing my motors today so will be needing to tune (it will be my first time)

[@tiefseetaucherr]

@@chasemomo Don't know if you're reading this but looking at your quad it looks like you bought it. In that case it noromally gets pre tuned so stuff like this shouldn't really happen... Did you do anything in betaflight like reflashing the fc or resetting the tunes? Just curious

[@johnwalter6410]

That wobble is called prop wash. You need to PID tune your quad.

[@chasemomo]

Thank you, John! I appreciate your input

[@BlkMambaFPV]

I can totally relate man! I used to crash just landing. That’s where I’d get most of my damage. I like to come in and pull back on the pitch just a little bit and that allows me to slow down just enough to be able to control that landing, there are a lot of resources on throttle control that were a big help to keep flying. New sub!

[@chasemomo]

Thank you for subbing! Super excited to share my journey with ya. Also, thanks for the pointers. I find it hard (personally) to pull pitch back without going absolutely bonkers lol. Need more stick time for sure....

[@rocky08tv]

You can try flying slow and controlled. Maybe put your camera angle a bit more down so you see where you going when you fly slower

[@chasemomo]

Thanks for the advice! I actually noticed the other day that my tilt was really high... i think it moved up on its own. 100% plays a factor into why I couldn't land well this day... thanks for commenting!

Hand catch & hand launch!? Woah that's awesome!

[@letzUploadit]

@@chasemomo i can do it better than landing on the ground, try it out put it in angle mode extend your arm, same goes for landing, angle mode, take off your goggles bring it in and cut the throttle. its fun hehe

[@TyeBoi]

nice vid man, as for better landings, i found that flying low and slow as well as just hovering sometimes helped a lot. like really just focus on flying smoothly and slowly at a low altitute (like 3 feet or less). this really helped me and also made landing much easier as i can just hover a few inches off the ground then disarm. also, lowering your camera angle down slightly will make it easer to do this too

[@chasemomo]

Thank you TyeBoi, I appreciate the good pointers 💯

[@nic.h]

Find a nice big grass field. Spend a pack just doing taking offs a wide orbit and touch downs. Make the landing point a bit away from where you are sitting so you don't have to worry about bounces. Basically just practice landing in a forgiving environment and you'll get confident you can get it on the ground and disarmed without breaking anything pretty quickly. It may take a while to look pretty, but that's secondary. At the end of the day as long as you can get it near the ground without to much speed you can just disarm and gravity will handle the rest. Might want to consider turning of air mode, you can put it on a switch, which I believe is why you got that jump up on the slightly hard landing.

[@chasemomo]

Thanks for the advice 🙏 Seriously. AND thank YOU for watching! Ive been just completely disarming the drone right above the ground. that was it falls gracefully in the grass :)

[@freakonflight]

Main tip of advise is make sure your shutter speed is double your frame rate and use an ND filter to cancel out the increase in light. Its what gives fpv footage the smooth look and clean motion blur. Great vid though!

[@bluefpv3263]

disarm before you hit the ground than it doesnt flip out the wobbling is from flying though air that the propellers distrubed for example if you sink down in a spot or do sharp turns its called propwash

[@JoshConnectMedia]

Keep it coming dude. you got lots of potential coming up. Have you ever tried the DJI Avata? You will love it .

I feel ur pain bro!! Florida is super humid 👻💨 Dronie 😂 my daughter calls all my drones that Trying landing in the dark with 80% water around u....just did that in my 4th of July video My suggestion is pitch back a little when ur coming in and cut the motors like 6 to 8 inches over the grass Slow is pro 🫡😎👻💨

Nice video dude and great flying!😁 flying tree proximity sharpens the skills loads.

[@chasemomo]

Good to know, scouting my next location soon.. will be sure to do more trees. thanks for watching!

[@v1.hattrick]

Don't take off so close to yourself. For two reasons, first your going to blow sand into your controller. Second, if you change props and mess up, the drone may flip into you, cut you up, and prevent you from disarming because you're too busy bleeding all over the place & freaking out. Second, set a pre-arm switch before you slice yourself up. Sooner than later. Other than that, just enjoy the hobby. It gets easier.

[@chasemomo]

First class advice here, thank you hattrick. Pre-arm sounds cool.. never heard of that & going to look into it! Thank you!

[@Kleinage]

@@chasemomofyi if you don’t have an extra switch for prearm usually I just apply another tip: keep throttle at middle when carrying your controller so quad doesn’t arm accidentally. If it’s set up correctly it will refuse to arm unless throttle is at zero.

[@chasemomo]

@@Kleinage yes, actually that is how I have it setup at the moment! It’s awesome

somebody probably already told you this but that "wobble" at 1:52 is called "prop-wash" and is totally normal with Fpv drones. gr8 vid btw

[@chasemomo]

Thank you, actually, you're the first to somewhat tell me its normal... so I appreciate ya!

[@DadQuadz]

For what its worth, I have a Boxer, and got my girl a Pocket radio. I love the portability of the pocket, but I cant land/disarm with that controller to save my damn life, yet get it perfectly every time with my Boxer radio. For me personally it simply comes down to the button vs switch for the arm/disarm. There is something so much easier about a simple finger flick to disarm vs a button press that makes a world of difference for landing. Whenever you upgrade one day or try out a friends radio with switches, I would be very curious if that became easier for you as well

[@chasemomo]

Dude! This sounds like an issues I thought I had - but I wasn't 100% sure... thank you for this info about the disarming on the pocket. Huge help! Oh and thanks for watching!

I remember when I first started I just kinda just got close then dropped it in front of me wasn’t pretty then eventually you get better and hover it and landings get better,dude practice some hovering up high then bring it down

[@swissfpvshots]

I often switch to Angelmode then fly in front of me. Point the camera away from you. Then take off the goggles and land the copter like a DJI drone…

[@chasemomo]

Hmmmm, angle mode.. interesting. Ive never tried? what does it do?

[@swissfpvshots]

@@chasemomo do you use Betaflight? Definitly set it up! In angelmode, the copter stabilized itself. This means that if you do roll and then go of the sticks, the drone automatically goes into the stabilized position (hower position) back. In addition, the copter cannot completely roll over. I think it can turn up to a maximum of 60°... hopefully it was understandable ;) otherwise there are all kinds of tourtorials on YT 👍😉

[@William_NS]

Either print or purchase a fixed angle, slide in GoPro mount for your quad. GoPros aren't cheap.
