I'm still analog and analog I shall stay.

[@shadowofchaosfpv4683]

Same. Digital is out of my price range for now.

[@FlyerTuck]

@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 I hear ya.

[@user-wz3fz5lq7n]

I fly analog like you because I’m broke and can’t buy digital

[@FlyerTuck]

@@user-wz3fz5lq7n I can't blame expense. My analog rig was just as expensive. I have HDO's with a Furious TrueDx module on 'em.

[@TheCivildecay]

I have the feeling that digital fpv is the vocal minority on the Internet. Whenever I go to a real life FPV meeting/race at least 70% is still flying analog

[@GarethDix]

This is how my FPV life looks like most of the time when I'm not filming... well except I haven't found anyone into FPV near me yet... the funniest thing is that I recognised JazzFPV from his voice because of the podcast episode!

[@therealonigiri]

Haha! I'm impressed you recognised the voice!

[@JazzXP]

Hopefully it wasn't too annoying :P

[@GarethDix]

@@JazzXP haha not at all!

[@FlyZoneFpv]

Riot with fellow pilots is the best part of fpv and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. In my opinion Fpv is actually growing more and more . Thanks Oni G 👊🏻

[@therealonigiri]

🤘 Yes long live FPV 😁

[@droney_baloney]

Thanks for the little vlog! love this type of content. hopefully yall get a +1 to your kwad squad soon! I love it when that happens.

[@therealonigiri]

Thanks!! I love making this content, especially when I have a music on repeat to edit to haha. Fingers crossed for the +1 person!!

[@xjet]

Analog for the win. Reminds me, I must fly my GepRC Smart 16 again. Such a cute little quad.

[@therealonigiri]

🙌❤️

[@flowstate_link]

Used to have 2.5” quad it was fun!!! But 3.5” better.. funny I do Miss 2.5” GepRC CiniLog frame

[@crazicat]

If going to a local spot with or without friends and flying for fun with no pressure is old school then I am in.

[@therealonigiri]

Yay 🥳

[@jstger1804]

I like your content. Another enjoyable video, The Intro and exit of Green Day in the background, nice touch!

[@almacfpv74]

Always pumped to watch your content🥳. Hell no it's not dead!! I live FPV😎

[@fpvhoon2707]

not dead we still have meets with friends! just had one out of Ballarat not long ago! you guys should come one time!

[@DavidOwensuk]

Great video, I miss flying... The weather is not good in the UK and the days are short...Thank you for sharing...

We will give back Summer really soon and hopefully in good condition 😊🖤 Hang in there!

[@johnnixon9444]

Analog is still king for affordability and ease of use. Love it👍👍

[@therealonigiri]

And it does the job enough for us to do what we love. I can appreciate the beauty of HD flying, but I get what I need to see with analog. So totally agree!

[@gogglesfpv7986]

exactly! I like the aesthetic of some of the interference

[@therealonigiri]

😂 lol 🔥

[@AngryMarkFPV]

Next time you are in WA, or I visit VIC we need to go rip! I fly so rarely now, but this encouraged me.

[@woofy435]

Always fun to watch!!

[@k4x4map46]

nice fun vid!!! analog it still tis!! got some 'Quadmovr' frames built by Armattan Productions good n light to practice getting the flying right haha it's only cool nowadays to continue to watch your and Quadmovr vids; other vids for technology; if it taint fun skipping it!! to hear laughter --that's cool stuff!! enjoy and thanks!!

Seems like you’re keeping it Lit! 🔥

Old school vlog! Love it. This is the best part of FPV. Sharing the fun with friends. Thanks for the great session!

[@anthonystownsend]

Hey that's me that Sam was talking about lol. He noticed my RisingSun FPV shirt when dropping my son off at daycare, he mentioned you were going to fly but i was stuck with a bunch of orders to print, maybe next!

[@therealonigiri]

Haha yes please!

[@suzysheer66]

Nice to see you having fun. It's winter here, and it's no fun.... -38c overnight... not flying weather, but spring will return.

As long as you're having a great time it doesn't matter what you fly

[@faithinparadise351]

I'm hd zero now and I still fly analog also. 8 years in fpv ❤ still going strong in Hawaii all by myself. Wish there were more like minded peeps in the islands 🤙🤙 Aloha friends

[@therealonigiri]

Aloha! I hope you can motivate people to join you eventually 🙌

[@therealonigiri]

Check out the FPV FB group FPV life! Someone just mentioned wanting to fly in Hawaii!

[@faithinparadise351]

@therealonigiri hey thanks for the feedback 😀

[@volitronics]

@onigiri still flying my pushers with most equipment still dating back from the olden 2017 days.

[@DANHjAM]

I got into FPV in 2012 right when it was just starting to get bigger, still love it! The desire to fly and the sensation of it will always facinate people. I had a long break from it last year and now I'm back at it after the itch came back strong. Building a new 7 inch long range quad this week, cant wait to do some more proximity mountain cruising. I usually go off into the wilderness now and fly in remote places mostly for myself. It's total bliss, combined with a good hike in a beautiful place. I can't see myself ever giving it up, it goes in cycles. Slowing down and taking break from a hobby is a good way to reconnect with it later I think. It's simialr with any activity. Happy flying friends!

[@gogglesfpv7986]

This is what its all about! getting out, getting in the air, and having a good time.

[@therealonigiri]

👏👏👏

[@anubismachine]

Still analog here. Works fine for me.

[@dronezone7451]

I love your face ! and your videos ! you are so cool! peace out ! and Happy Flying as always !

[@smakersify]

Im still rocking the DJI goggles v1 and radio master x16 version one with no touch screen. 😊

Analog 4 life 💯 great video!

[@soundscrispy]

Neato. Out near Diggers/Sunbury?

[@kingjam6433]

Still analog here, might not be as good but its cheap, light and reliable.

[@dronezone7451]

HD O3 for me ! i just cant get over how good it is in my goggles ! but each to there own thing !

[@DCSeekFPV]

I started to flying again after 2 years, I stopped during pandemic. I see that FPV is changing and growing!

[@blackmennewstyle]

I haven't flown a quad in years, literally since the middle of the human malware pandemic outbreak 😭 Most of my flying buddies here in Thailand, went back home and one of them even died during the pandemic. Flying alone is no fun. Have a great week ahead and keep on flying 🔥🚀

[@therealonigiri]

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your friend 🖤 Flying alone is definitely different and I can't really do it unless I'm practicing something specific. It was terrible in 2020-21. I did think I was not going to find other FPV buddies but then one day I connected with Sam. And it wasn't even about FPV in the first place and I had no idea we were living "close". So you never know 😉

[@ckfpv]

I here ya it sucks i live in usa and cant find nobody to fly with ,i found this one guy but he got mad at me and told everyone i was a A -hole so literally nobody will fly because thos guy said that 😢crazy real clickish and if your in your in if u get ignored then i guess im out lol sucks tho because i want to fly with ppl and go to different spots with them and stuff you see on the youtube ,just venting but your absolutely right flying alone SUCKS

[@blackmennewstyle]

@@ckfpv Sorry to hear about your experience with annoying people, sometimes you meet people like that, do not take that experience too personally and just reflect on it: "what can i do the next time in order to avoid such waste of time". Take care my brother and keep on flying 🔥🚀

Great to see you flying once in a wille :*

[@therealonigiri]

Yep when I can and when the weather allows!

💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HaraldLabout]

Still using analog on my 7 quads and still happy with it. It's really expensive to convert to digital.

[@3eggerfpv397]

Yep,.I'm still analog, but haven't flown in 3 years. Maybe again some day, I'm waiting.for snake to take to the air again! That would help!

[@ronnyrengkung7894]

Enjoy the Flying,.........!!👍🙏😊

[@droningwithjamie]

Awesome flight ✈️

[@dafish_fpvkenworthit9144]

Nice ..") Hope your both well ..✌

[@borgonianevolution]

Great seeing someone happy and excited about flying with out all the "Lets see how much dumb stuff we can do in one episode" format. Have you been doing anything with the bass at all? We are kinda due for an update on all that if you are. I stopped building quads when the regulations just went all stupid. Started building guitars instead. Still fly my 4 incher and my FT Gremlin on occasion though.

[@therealonigiri]

Not much with the bass, I mainly play my acoustic guitar when I have time. Especially because I try to keep flying and also back at Karate. So... yeah lots in my plate!

[@borgonianevolution]

@@therealonigiri Bet no one tries to steal your gear when you fly huh. 🤣

Do it! 5" are classic!

Good on ya mate ! Love your French accent, I’m 52yo from Philippines flying all year long with nice hot weather for the last 10 years, does it make me a old school FPV dude…? 😂 Happy flying!

[@therealonigiri]

Thanks! Very simple video haha

[@DKTek07]

I’ve been flying FPV since about 1985 with a Schluter Champion .60 heli and it only exploded around 2006 or so…after quads came around. It’s gonna stay regardless of its popularity.

[@Bruce-Gisbon]

When I hear old school FPV I think analog which I still rock and will continue to rock.

[@Don-EfpV]

💯💜👏

[@MrBlueSky2112]

Analog! Keeping it simple. 👍

[@chrisowens7470]

Is that the drone that mister Steele gave you.

[@therealonigiri]

No the drone he gave me was an Alien on 4S and Kiss V1. I flew it a lot until I had to take it apart for parts 😊 The drone was flown so much and then used so much for part that it doesn't exist anymore haha. However the one I used in the video is a build copied from the 6S Kiss V2 Apex that Steele was using around 2019 🙂

[@JustEnoughRC]

I fly analog still 😎👍

[@dizzydeanfpv45]

1st time watching an I really enjoyed the ride you took me on. I don't think ol school fpv is dead but technology is advancing! I mean the 03 AU is a game changer.....I've only flown HD 2nd year of flying and I'm hooked! Now just teach me how to make an entertaining video lmao cheers

[@therealonigiri]

Haha thanks for the comment! Entertaining video key points: - have fun while recording first - have fun while editing it - when you watch it back, if you get bored, people might get bored so make sure you enjoy watching it too! - don't think about making money with videos because it will limit you in the tunes you can use for it (music is important!) and sometimes it will limit even your creativity or censor the things you can do or say. That's my two cents and I used to make lots of videos until 2020. I hope it helps 😊🤘

Ouch I'm not the best to give advice on the latest equipment - my set up is like a 2019 drone 😂 It depends how small. If you want something like my friend Sam, hit him up on Instagram @jazzfpv2 and if you want something a bit bigger, you can look up Apex 3 or 4inch 👏

Stay under 250 grams to avoid remote ID. If you have no gear then go digital video, I use walksnail. My last build was Flyfish 3" Volador, 1207 5000kv motors, 3s 750 lipo, Diatone stack.

I tried digital for 1 year with v2 and all those vista and air unit, i cannot for the life of me get a hang on the freezing thing of death. Lost 1 quad, almost lost a 5 inch. So i go back to analog, my eyes arent that hd. Too paranoid to see all those details

[@therealonigiri]

"Too paranoid to see all these details" 😂 I'm laughing because that's how I feel when I play the latest Mario Kart with friends too, I kept saying "I need to ignore some of this information to drive better" 🤣 I feel you. I tried HD and unfortunately- even if I like how some things looked in these goggles - for some reason it gives me motion sickness AND I am definitely paranoid at how the signal video freezes when it's low. Since I just do freestyle for fun and for me these days, analog is still my perfect solution!

[@grabejud]

@therealonigiri im glad we're on the same page, i feel it's much better to just mount an hd cam to review for later purpose or for filming.

I mean really old school would be flying potatoes full of vibrations with no range while props explode when you just look at them 😂 My version of old school is flying at locals spots with my mate and having fun talking crap the whole time 😁 Just like RC old people have always done haha 🖤

[@FlyingBuzzard]

As a really old RC guy, I flew model planes I built myself and with no help, no net, no books, no clubs,and alone ...That is what i considered Old school.... today with instant info and groups of folks flying, I consider that a new concept not an old one...LOL @@therealonigiri

Old school RC is exactly what you described, just a person figuring out things without Internet indeed 😊 This video is about Old school FPV where we already had Internet and forums. Good on ya for having such a long experience with you, it's quite admirable!
