I'm Obsessed With this $129 FPV Drone

[@NURKFPV]

So stoked you're getting in to this! Really excited to see you playing with fpv and what it can do.

[@grandgascon4214]

Gene is a lot more fun here than in the Potato Jet channel.. He does not filter here as much as he does on the other channel. Cheers all the way from the Philippines

[@elenasgara1815]

I am Italian and my family has a camper since 2007 and with it we toured almost all of Europe. I don't know about U.S brands but here one of the best is Adria, try to look up their vans, they are way cheaper that that beast, even when fully accessorized with solar panels, good heating, TV and other accessories, they go for 60 to 70 thousand Euros. They are not cheap but they have everything you could need on the go, like a good bathroom with a shower, a more that 100 liters white water tank and an even bigger gray water tank. Usually there is a big bed on the back which leaves spaces for the dogs in the front. Camper vans are not very big, usually they are 5/6.30 meters long and are more discrete than a normal camper.

[@ManuFPV]

Hi Gene! I have been into FPV for a while and I have really enjoy your first attempts! If you have any technical questions or anything FPV related you want to know just let me know by email or insta. Welcome to FPV! 😁

[@BharathRaj]

Kari so excited about the Mixer is a mood lol

[@Ashwinnbr]

TRUUEEEE xDDD

[@BloodShotMovies]

Love my VitaMix. Still going strong after 19 years. I don't use it every day, or even every week, but still, 19+ years is impressive.

[@linlotto]

What makes this channel good is that it's all for fun.

[@chriswakefield8909]

Thanks for this. I've only just got into regular drone flying, let alone FPV, but definitely looks like something I want to get into!

[@Fincky]

Really excited to see you getting started with FPV! This is the way I actually started 3 years and a half ago and how I got completely obsessed. It's hard sometimes but just keep going and you'll see, the reward of flying and getting unbelievable shots is more than worth it

[@fredbrea7367]

Vitamix is what we use at restaurants. We use it for everything, soups, sauces, and purée. The best attachment for it is the plunger.

[@jimibadass]

The Vitamix is the best blender ever made. My wife and I got one and it changed our life

[@quadroneld]

It's nice to see how excited you are about flying the mini drone!

[@john5266]

Gene I do fpv racing a lot and definitely start with a drone kit but when you fall in love with it you’ll save a lot of money making your own drone compared to the pre made ones

[@chrisbrockhurst]

that kit is exactly what I have been looking for!! You are my Tuesday MVP!!

[@thefullmag]

So happy to see you flying more FPV! After that video with Steve I got into FPV and have added into my videography portfolio and I get car gigs all the time now! Looking forward to that cool project!

[@jonahaggarde1573]

Nice flying, just a beginner hint. Try to bring the drone down when you get to 3.3 volt ( in bottom left it says "V3.3"). If you discharge the battery more will it decrease the life time and max out put power.

[@krystofvydra]

I am actually your subscriber that knows about fpv drones for a long time and flies them for about 3 years now. That's so cool man. I remember when nobody knew about it and now it is getting really popular, that's so crazy.

[@JeremyKruis]

Yes! Can’t wait to find out about more fpv stuff!

[@brianesquinas]

Looking forward on the courses. Hoping I can learn on how to relaunch or remake my channel and what kind of content I should show or I should just make an another channel for a different focus or content.

[@JJShankles]

I have that same Vitamix! It takes smoothies to the next level! What are your recipes? I would love a smoothie spin off channel

[@niRtywa_starcvnt]

we are totally in for a Kari smoothie channel!

[@JCharIie]

Practice, and acro is key. I got a buddy of mine flying fpv in 3 days with only DJI system background. I had him hover around LOS first and orientation awareness. Then I put him on a simulator for tricks on his third day. Though he doesn’t have the courage to try gaps yet. He trie to fly 2 pack a day but he can do flips at high altitudes. Now he just needs his own gear lol. It gets quiet expensive, remote, fpv google + module, drone (s) , batteries, charger, tools, and a GoPro for cinematic shots. Unless you just fly it for fun like me.

[@vieuxsviewsphotography]

I love the "subtle" peer pressure Gene puts on Dillon to move back! That's what real friends do!

[@poyo503]

3:46 no longer a dead cat now it’s cat nuts 😂

[@The_Rad_Dad_Chad]

I have a Vitamix A3300. I love it! I made a mini review video of the blender and why I bought it about 2 months ago and put it on my channel. Kari brings up some of the exact same points I bring up. I'm glad you guys have one. It will pay for itself. If you or anyone else wants to check out the video in question it is titled "Should You Buy An Expensive Blender." No people, I won't post a link on this comment.

[@stabyourdad2353]

I MADE IT IN THE VIDEO, IM A STAR

[@NURKFPV]

I would love to get on a video chat and give you some tips and pointers and things to practice if you'd be at all interested! Been flying fpv for 5-6 years now. McIntosh is a huge inspiration!

[@tattootrader]

Take this offer Gene. Trust me!

[@ryanmillard4522]

Super keen for your KZbin start up idea. Been really wanting to try make my our channel, but I'm struggling on where and how to start, what should my "brand" be, how to gain conference filming in public, around friends and family so many more questions. Love Kari's enthusiasm for spinach juice.

[@jinchoung]

that's a crazy good kit. that remote control is quality.

[@betofpv]

You can download Betaflight and change settings on that little drone! You can also practice on a simulator, try Velocidrone on Steam

[@fivezeroniner]

Wow. I just replayed your tiny fpv drone video yesterday and here you are!

[@AKHILPOKLE]

2:36 English isn't my first language but did sam say "what's cracking like a booty spanking ?" that's a good merch line tbh.

[@roscoemaher1814]

He said ”what’s crackin like a booty smackin“

[@AKHILPOKLE]

@@roscoemaher1814 lmaoo

[@pianandrill]

Gane FPV! You are killing it! Yes you are, 2,7V on lipo is killing it. You should never get below 3.2V or you will damage any lipo.

[@TuckerPearce]

Vitamix is where it’s at! 💪🏻 Love the FPV

[@CoalitionGaming]

Ok that wireless mic combo with the duo mic is actually really cool

[@The_Rad_Dad_Chad]

Gene, Thank you so much!

[@sqwert654]

I have the Betafpv 75X version very nice, but the power band is small and I need to smooth out the throttle curve to stop the up/down cycle.

[@KyleFurusho]

What if you took the motors from the Vitamix and put it on a drone?

[@tpmcdonald]

Kari was cheesing so hard about the mixer! loved it!

[@EnriqueCal]

Can wait to see your course finish! I'm really interested on it. Happy to see everything is working out

[@TallyTalwarOfficial]

Would recommend starting in acro mode, flying in level mode will give you really bad muscle memory that will be really hard to un-learn. I like to compare flying FPV to playing a musical instrument, the more you practice the better you get at it. Really tough in the beginning. Once you learn though, then the control combinations are infinite. It's also like riding a cycle, once you learn, you can ride one even after 20 years of not riding one. Hope the examples help with what i'm trying to convey.

Pretty coolio! Solves a lot of shooting live scenarios! Maybe? With practice, of course!

[@codexan]

I actually like the Vlog channel a lot more. Seeing Gene ride his bike and just his overall personality seems really cool

[@stephenscrivens]

I can't imagine how difficult it is to fly that drone. Looking forward to the days when you actually become a pro at flying drones. What's the ultimate drone dream?

[@bendesignsmedia]

Used to work at Jamba, we only used Vitamix, they are expensive though

[@boinkinsen]

Vitamix is life changing! No chunks. Everything is smooth in the smoothie. I've done soups too! I use it several times a week. I'm definitely a fan! Got mine at Costco.

[@DanielAfonso-IT_Consultant]

It's also so much easier to clean than cheaper blenders. A+, would scour eBay again and replace the knob.

[@tommcmannfilms]

Love the FPV stuff! That’s a great kit too. I’d suggest flying as much as you can in “Acro” mode even though it’s harder. The more you fly in “level” mode the harder it’s gonna be to transition to acro mode in the future because you’ll have to break old habits.

[@kurupi]

vitamix it's a pro kitchen blender! No money wasted on this!!!

[@jamis2341]

Download Liftoff, it is an FPV drone simulator. You can use most remotes with it also.

[@kjvisual7]

I only got about 1 minute into the video and felt I had to comment. Dude this is totally needed. Since the whole Micro Drone 4.0 debacle (scam), I need some micro drone good news. Ok, back to the video.

[@TheRealJimmyLundy]

Sometimes I come for the content, sometimes just for the ending. Today didn't disappoint!

[@williamwalters3796]

Gene as director + quality content + Sam as crew = PotatoWood Studios

[@OneTonSoupProductions]

Sams gasp at receiving stickers is amazing.

[@schwarzkopf123]

Gene, those things are pretty hard to fly. Put it in angle mode that will help a bit (but it does build bad habits). The bigger 5 inch is so much easier to fly. Looking forward to the Beta95x build.

[@ScottyInVancouver]

Just saw your video about the deity d4 duo and one day after I got one too! Can't wait to test on iPhone and camera 😍 the duo mic sounds awesome

[@ThatBeAaron]

Hey Gene, Dumb question but i do not see an answer to this question on youtube at all. Can you use a "video light for portraits?" or vice versa? I'm new to Photography and videography but was wondering if something like the 300x can do both, or does Video lights simply don't have a flash function.

[@HeavySpiral]

I keep watching thosse crazy FVP videos on instagram, I am sure it's much harder than it seems but I do wanna try it eventually.

[@filmguyari2361]

Man, I love every video you guys put out lol

[@kylepreudhomme1704]

This was really good Gene

[@gurusourabh3067]

hey, can we use that googles & transmitter for other drons

[@alexsobrino]

Gene, you really got better with the drone in the vlog time, wow!

[@gracekabii2736]

I agree withtou gene you sgould make a video on how one should grow ones channell!!!

[@denniselmbaek6440]

I recommened Any new to buy velocidrone simulator it's perfect for pratice and get the feeling for flying fpv. 😊 (your controller might not work but if you going to buy a bigger drone in the near future that controller Will for sure work with velocidrone)

[@algersonvincent]

what does the onboard camera look like

[@SanderMartinsen]

If you want to start flying bigger fpv drones, you should start in a simulator. I recommend liftoff, it helps a lot and you don't need to crash your real drone.

[@imothy]

did you overheat the VTX when you were walking around with it?

[@SeanPaulPhoto]

Bro you guys work with LiPo's all the time, just because it's only 300mAh doesn't mean it charges any faster! All cells should be charged around 1C for longevity (.3amp charge rate for 1 hour to fully charge). XOXO, I really want to chill and fly with you Hoonigan's!

[@ManuelSiliezar]

Hey Gene you’re awesome, your channels are awesome! Sam and Kari add a lot to the channel and you’re an awesome guy. I hope i get to meet you one day

[@KarolPlucinski]

I am obsessed with your videos

[@da9elb]

Got into fpv a couple of months ago. ITS SP AWESOME

[@WillRoyMedia]

I'm si pumped for the video course

[@chefsalty]

vitamix is an industry restaurant standard. thats why the product is expensive, but, the output is stellar

[@sriram7454]

3:55 Mozarella was confused on seeing Gene behaving crazily😂. She kept coming towards Gene step by step.

[@gramozshala9629]

Steven is such a cool dude

[@acommon]

You should download Velocidrone or Liftoff to practice flying. They're sims that you can use with your controller on your computer

[@johanahalimnotes]

That mic is cool...

[@k2OS]

I like the concept of that mic.. I have a Røde VIdeoME for my phone, where I sometimes would like to be able to interview someone, without having me stand next to them too.. but am I the only one who hears a faint 'hiss' from the forward facing channel on your bi-directional mic?

[@dartopic]

Kari's Channel? Heck yeah!

[@SickJames]

0:28 Gene flexin those Tri's! Quadcopter and Tri's. Gonna drop a duece now. I know I'm not the only one.

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

0:24 Gene is just flexing his guns on us 💪🏽

[@dhruvsaha3459]

Hi Gene i think you should make some videos on da vinci resolve editing software because as if right now it's one of the go to editing software for us beginners - who can't afford premier. I know i sound like they are paying me to say it but all i wanna do is convince my friend that he should spend that yearly subscription money on other equipment that could bring more value on the table. Anyways thanks for the luminar again :)

[@seanmurphy2573]

How did they fit a vhs camera on that tiny drone?

[@NateBperkins]

Things have come a long way in the micro drones, might check out the umma 85/95 or the gopro lite from stephen peot

[@EVERYTHINGHEEM]

Love my Vitamix Dude!

[@Ztowne13]

Flying in level mode is a bad idea if you’re trying to learn how to fly - eventually you’ll want to go to acro mode to get all the cool cinematic shots but level/angle mode will have taught you a LOT of terrible habits

[@alex-stafford]

Even use air mode instead of horizon for the meanwhile until moving to acro is streets ahead better.

[@jonahchua]

Although there are many whoop pilots the race in angle mode but yes if he plans to fly larger drones learning acro is a must

[@Ztowne13]

Yes, true. For tiny whoops it’s okay - but it sounds like he wants to move to bigger stuff

[@CesarAnton]

In my opinion, Cinewhoops are a different story on the Acro VS Level debate. I recommend starting with Level indoor, then acro on outdoor and practice both :) For open-space on the outdoors Acro looks best. For indoors or between dense vegetation level gives the necesary accurancy and the ability to easily hover.

[@ArraialHD]

Gene RV Natata is coming up ... I'm excited

[@patricklebby]

Buying a Vitamix changed my life!!!

[@Stefan_Besteman]

Please ditch level mode and get on acro asap🙏🏻 its going to improve everything and make it easier later down the line trust me (and a lot of other fpv pilots out there who say the same)

[@SamLucas26]

My favorite thing is Carrie making green smoothies right behind the pizza boxes lol. All about that balance, yuh know?!

[@ayushren]

Steve's face when he's blankly staring at genes head when he's talking about the drone 😂😂😂

[@TariqShaweesh]

I'm happy to participate in your course, Gene! I'm trying to grow my channel.

[@MysteryArtsInc]

@potatojet put that damn build out anyways!! I’ve been waiting on that video since you said it was coming!

[@superKHANH]

Notification crew!!!

[@akhil1781]

The way I fly my fpv drone is to relax

[@adambostock5416]

Love my Vitamix :) Also, the Revel looks so sweet!

[@CodingAqyanoos]

I am already one if your big fans. I go for 22 millions subs and I never stop until I am there. I hope to see that you also have millions subs one day. I keep eyes on you 😉😀👍🏻✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

How did you fit a VHS tape in that tiny drone?!

[@noahhulse4733]

Got the notification...and I am literally watching this on the lake, in my kayak...I LOVE THESE VLOGS !!!!! 😂

I'm jealous!

[@noahhulse4733]
