I Trained Like a PRO Drone Racer For 30 Days

[@BMSThomas]

Go go go! Good work dude!! Your 100% on the mark about mindset! I think there is something very important too in this video that directly parallels to real race events. At the end of your 30 day experiement, you were initially unhappy with your flying & knew that you were capable of more given you were under less stress, or maybe less tired etc, & yet your time was still way faster then when you started. In real events, its very rare to bring across your 100% to any race, infact I'd argue most struggle to bring what they consider their 60% to a race. In terms of racing a big part of training is to almost make yourself "overqualified" for that specific event, that way your scaled back self in the right environment might just be enough to pull it all together. I'd love to see you try this again with two race drones (incase one fails) & in the summertime! One more note too: Cinema & freestyle quads can help you get track time too! They may not be a thorough bred race machine, but stick time & enjoyment behind the sticks is paramount to progress!

Such an epic video dude. You are killing the game!

[@BrodieReed]

Thank you my man! ✌️

[@timchen2902]

FPV真的是個很不容易理解且更不容易操控的飛機 不管做任何動作都會影響到其他動作 只能不斷的練習 直到變成肌肉記憶

[@LAMB_SAUCE]

You are hands down my favourite creator at the moment! The video quality, details and editing is beyond professional. Well done and can't wait for upcoming content! Also started the same thing today because of this video, 30 days of SIMing everyday, twice a day for 30min with a timer exactly you do, consciously doing excercises to improve my overall flying. I only fly for 50h in real life now ( 5 weeks of flying everyday min 2 times without a fail, 5 batteries each time without ), but I used to have DJI FPV, now I still have it but I also bought Geprc mk5 to have a real freestyle drone, just received it and set up 2 days ago and I use my goggles and controller from DJI FPV combo with it. I'm more than happy with it, amazing piece of equipment. Thank You for your work once again!!!

[@BrodieReed]

Ayo appreciate that!! Can’t wait to keep on delivering more dope content ✌️ Keep up the good work mate

[@si1az0]

if you keep this up you will no dauntedly have hundreds of thousands of subscribers bro, this production quality and editing as well as everything else is just so high level for someone with only 2k subs and 6k views. Great job dude you earned what's coming to you (in a good way of course). God bless.

[@BrodieReed]

Haha thank you my man!

[@Inertia888]

I train with Liftoff, I'm in my mid-40s, and have been flying fpv for just under a year. I find that I am comfortable somewhere around the 250th fastest in full races on the leaderboard. Consistently, I find that the fastest racers are about twice as fast as I am. My estimation is that I could probably compete with the top 100 fastest racers, if I dedicated all of my time to it, but without some unknown variable, I don't see myself breaking the fastest records on the leaderboard. Maybe someday I will surprise myself, but that is not likely. Would have had to start learning to race at age twelve, in order to keep up with these speeds.

"OK, nod at the screen, now shake your head, yes, yes, that's it...ok, now look confused, raise one eyebrow, work it, work it..." (this is me directing your intercuts).... Love you long time, Reed. (Nice improvement there, lad)

[@BrodieReed]

Very accurate 😂 Thanks my man

[@dfwfpv]

Just started racing and have been grinding VD. For me, learning tracks is the first roadblock for me, so it's helped a lot.

[@BrodieReed]

Great stuff mate! Yeah learning tracks certainly is the first bit of fun haha

[@JR_DDP]

Quality video my guy! Subbed- now do it for a year!!

[@BrodieReed]

Or I’ll do it for 10 instead 😉✌️

[@flowlessfpv]

one tip flying faster dosent mean you are faster fly smooth and close but really great progress

[@heatice77]

Amen to that, no replacement for putting the work in. Know your goal, mine isn’t to race, but for fun and to capture FPV type video in the process but it’s pretty cool to see your progress…there is hope LOL 😂

[@BrodieReed]

Haha there’s always hope!

[@boarattackboar]

Amazing work Brodie! Its clear you put just as much work into the vdeo is you did the race training

[@BrodieReed]

Legend, appreciate it man 😀

[@LuMaxQFPV]

Awesome story here, I look forward to watching more from your channel!

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks! Look forward to having you around ✌️

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

your channel is gonna be big

[@BrodieReed]

Haha hell yeah that’s the spirit

[@the_robo_hobo]

When the camera feed is grey, it means that the camera has been short circuited. You should probably be able to fix it by going over your solder joints and making sure that none of them are touching.

[@BrodieReed]

That is more than likely what I could’ve done, butttttt I think the 69 is fried now lmfao

[@georgezoup]

You said it all...Practice practice practice and you can be faster than you excpect...Congrats for the video..subbed with joy

[@BrodieReed]

Oh, thanks mate! Appreciate it and welcome along ✌️

[@fpvwithpatrick]

Awesome video mate! 🔥 big improvement over the 30 days for sure

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks man!

[@IvanEfimovLimon]

This is an awesome video, dude. I am content creator myself (and a drone racer), and I know how hard it is to make videos. Your quality and editing skills are really good. Keep it up, man. One day I can be good at editing like you are. But that will be way after you can beat me on the track if you keep practicing. Your progress is impressive. Even 15 minutes a day in VD is massive. Cuz it's about consistency of practice. For all newcomers, droneracing is still pretty knew. You can become competitive in it in a matter of half year. Way faster than in any other racing. And it's fun as heck. Hello to Thomas and Evan.🎉

[@BrodieReed]

Haha thanks my man ✌️Will have to catch up at some point in the future

[@TattedTommysTv]

To be honest bro that was a good sign you wore out that gimble means you was putting in the hard work I've been flying quads over 10 years FPV only about a few weeks it's a crazy world I've been just sticking to my simulator lol but my new charger also took a poop so have to wait to afford another one hopefully soon I'm itching to fly again but for now the sim will do

[@BrodieReed]

Yeah it's all part of a bit of wear and tear haha! Looking forward to hearing how it goes when you get back out there again!!

[@flowstateaerials]

Dude, that is a massive improvement over 30 days 🎉🎉🎉 feel free to reach out if you every need a hand or advice or anything, love your work!

[@BrodieReed]

Legendddd, thanks my man!

[@ChainsawFPV]

I always end up in my own head on the 3rd lap. Lol 960 hours in Velocidrone, but between lack of time, the weather, and lack of money, I dont fly much IRL, so when I do, I end up stressing something and screwing up.

[@BrodieReed]

Damnnnnn dude 960 is willlldddddd! But yeah 3rd lap is always the one 😂

[@nozty]

Chainsaw is fast af in velocidrone!

[@ChainsawFPV]

@@BrodieReed When I got sober almost 4 years ago, I found FPV. Those SIM hours represents the time I would have been doing something I shouldn't.

[@ChainsawFPV]

@@nozty Not sure about fast af, but I try. Lol It does not come naturally to me, so I really have to work for it.

[@Pumperneek]

@@ChainsawFPV I have na idea for you. Crumble in the corner, suck your thumb and moan in comments of social media instead of doing something about it. It will help you I can guarantee 300%🤡

[@nozty]

Halowalker would be a good example of all sim to pro. Its constantly raining here in my country so sims to keep training. I barely fly IRL i think the sim helps a lot and keeps you sharp. :)

[@BrodieReed]

Epic stuff!

[@tk-maker]

I start with 5" and I get dramatically improvement in hitting gaps when I switch to whoops with 20 packs and pinching (hybrid) style. for my friend, he said huge handling improvement when switch from large remote (TX16s) to Zorro... but I feel suck when switch to small remote LoL.

[@BrodieReed]

Oh for sure man, I’m on the same page as you, I cannot handle a small remote well at all! It’s one of the reasons I’m not a fan of the newer DJI remote 2 honestly

[@ThorrFPV]

Verry Nice video. Only thing I have to say is: in the beginning you better practice consistency. Because I think this helped lots to bring my times down in velocidrone. And also don't reset after each crash because irl this isn't possible. But for the rest you did an amazing job.

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks mate!

[@speedy0_FPV]

dedication is key, i just won my first irl race (freedomspec) after 7 months of irl practice.

[@BrodieReed]

Congrats my man!

[@RyanQuellet]

Great job sticking to it. You improved immensly

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks dude!

[@anakin1337]

what are the five33 rates?

[@BrodieReed]

If using the 'Betaflight' rate type RC Rate = 0.80 Rate = 0.70 RC Expo = 0.00

[@sethwalmsley5287]

Glad you got some better views on this, you deserve it.

[@BrodieReed]

Haha yeah it's pretty cool to see 😊

[@Finnphix]

Amazing effort Brodie!

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks bro!

[@halowalker797]

Great Video! Waiting for the "training like a champion for 30 Days" with 4 racers and 10h a day ;)

[@BrodieReed]

Haha thank you! Sounds like I need to make a new edition 😂😅

[@turboomni848]

use 4:3 in the sim when you use 4:3 in the goggles

[@SH-jq2vq]

Thanks for sharing. Can I ask what simulator for Mac you were using?

[@BrodieReed]

I’m running Velocidrone 🙂

[@Obama___]

Your thumbnails are top notch ❤

[@houseofdrones]

Always bring more then one quad to the field.. lesson learned

[@BrodieReed]

Agreed 😂

[@letsrunthis3824]

I agree, becoming the best at anything takes a ton of commitment and dedication to perfecting your craft. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'm a complete nuube at this and would like to start on a sim first. What laptop would you recommend? What laptop are you using?

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks for following along! I currently use the M1 Macbook Pro 13", which seems to run most sims fine aside from Tryp. I did make a video about my top picks for FPV simulators here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TIq6ylaadjr9k Best for beginners is totally different to what my general all-round top pick is too btw 😊

[@mcronfpv8736]

That amount of epicness...skipped to the end to see the result.. lol... KZbinrs are ridiculous, why everything has to be the most epic story... Just chill and have fun.

[@BrodieReed]

Oh man, you're so right!! Why on earth would I bother making a story out of it for the video, silly me 🤦‍♂️

[@mcronfpv8736]

@@BrodieReedsorry man to roast you, i thought you were a pro youtuber, but just realised your subsriber count... It's cool lots of people enjoy the video, it's well made and if you like it it's the most important. Just thought it would have been better with other pilots and other people, i'm sure some people fly in your area if you have a car to join them and see how they are doing. That's always interesting, fpv is old already, you'll be surprised how much you can learn from other pilots who've been flying for 8, 10 or 15 years. I actually heard many itvs of racers, all of them seem to be flying around 100 packs a day when they train (vannover said once he flies 150 lipos when everybody flies 100). This is amazing to me because if I manage to fly 20 lipos it's a great day of fly. would love to try to fly 100 one day.

[@FebyKris_FPV]

Good content...practice doesnt make perfect.. perfect practice does...

[@BrodieReed]

Thanks! Practice makes progress though 😉

[@vdz89]

Did you focus more to be faster/quicker (to finish lap as fast as possible), or to be more technical (slower laps, trying to hit gates in more narrow angle, align correctly for next gate...etc.)?

[@BrodieReed]

I focused on utilising this: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast ✌️

[@giselepozo5454]

Why don't you put the Meteor75 Pro with the insta360 go 3, like with the tinyhawk 2 freestyle

[@BrodieReed]

Could be a fun little idea actually! I haven't got the Go 2 like I used to anymore, but now that I've got a tiny drone again, maybe it's time 👀

[@giselepozo5454]

It would be perfect, and that's what I'm going to get soon

[@mattalford3932]

Whats the crowd size at drone races?

Yo hi bro I think you came to my school the name of the school is holy family school right and you did like a thing with my friends and you went to the back field and driver rc cars and that

That drone sim looks cheap haha is it one everyone uses ? 😅

[@RossSmith-o5z]

Well your first problem is your doing this with just one drone. You should of built 3 or even 4 and things would of gone much smoother

[@BrodieReed]

My first problem is caused by my other first problem of not quite having the funds for that 😂

That's a really cool analysis and explanation there dude! Seriously appreciate it. I definitely do plan on trying again, maybe I'll give flying IRL every day a shot for 30 days, and see how that improves flight time, but yeah you're too right... I really need to build another race quad. Possibly 3 more with my luck 😅
