Mate , bloody awesome to hear at that age your still smashing it I am 38 im only new to this but its good to hear this is a hobby that can keep us all going into our older years :) Shred it brother cheers from australia

​@@KaiVertigoh I'm think I might get the radiomaster zorro but I still don't know if I should get the elrs or the 4in1 version. Can you tell me what you would get(by the way this will be my first radio)

[@hofficial1992]

When an introductory video has no "Buy either this product, this or that one" and instead offers insides and understanding of different parameters, than I know it's good introductory video :D thanks

[@MrClickbang357]

As a total Newb I really appreciate this video! It stopped me from thinking I have to go ALL OUT and buy the whole enchilada - so NOW I know I can start with a controller and sim to start - PERFECT!!! I also know when it becomes time to move I will be building my drone (thankx again!) so I know how to fix it (I am kind of hard on thing, so yeah), will want digital goggles and will get a Cinewwhoops to start! This answered SO MANY Qs I had about how to start that I will actually be able to take the first step today!!! You are awesome!

[@RookieRay]

Availability is another big factor. It’s now early January when I ordered my dji goggles 2 radio transmitter back in November with the hopes I’d be able to discover FPV over the Christmas break

[@dannyg.817]

This is the video you need to see This is the type of guy you want to learn from This is extremely important knowledge This is what I've been looking for This is it.

[@KaiVertigoh]

This is very kind of you to say, Danny, thank you. I am super happy you learned from the video, and I hope to see you around more. Best of luck!

[@dannyg.817]

@KaiVertigoh 🤗🤗🤗🤗 actually the kindness is thanked towards you and great full to cross paths with channels like yours, thank you, subscribed.

[@thanhnamnguyen5280]

It’s just bizzare thinking about how I’m watching video this as a hobby while dudes half a globe away are probably watching to fly a warhead into other dudes

[@jordydabomb]

Great video. Best thing I ever did when I first started was bought a second hand 5” didn’t fly it properly for the first year, only did sim. Then gradually would practice. I also think building your own will help in the long run as if somthing is too fail you should be able too work it out as you’ve built it yourself. Love the video man

[@realtaztv]

Thank you so much! That was the most detailed video I've seen for beginners. I'm starting to study FPV drones, focusing on learning how to build one on my own. I thought it would be cheaper, but I understand the materials like motors and the main board have good quality, and the goggles and remote controller last for years. I loved your comment about learning how to fix the drone. I think that is the key to spending less money on it because the drone will break a lot of times (it's inevitable) and you will save a lot of money fixing it on your own.

[@KaiVertigoh]

Most definitely Matheus! I am happy that the video was helpful. There are definitely more cost-efficient ways to start, but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to FPV. And you're right, learning to fix your drones when they crash WILL save you a good amount of money in the long run, if you are up to the challenge!

[@SSTBay]

@@KaiVertigoh hey I’m trying to find out what the 4 Stubby antenna you’re using on the DJI goggles?

[@bbkintanar]

Thank you for this amazing video! Just barely getting my feet wet in the FPV world and it seems like theres an overwhelming amount of information out there. Not only does this information give a non-intimidating and straightforward approach, it also cuts straight to the point and doesn't overload me. Thank you 👊🏽

[@3Y3ECE]

I subscribed. I'm just an old school RC car & truck guy. More and more I want a decent drone with a decent camera and decent speed and battery life. If only to scout areas to play and bash my RC cars and trucks, but also to record them, and have that footage to be able to optimize the vehicles, and see what went wrong, and where. As with all things RC, you will break things. Soldering is a must. Understanding ESC's and motors, their sizes and kV rating... Batteries and sizes, mAh ratings, and discharge rates... These will definitely increase your enjoyment of the hobby, or at least, it certainly did for me. Eager to watching more of your videos, glad I found this channel. Keep up the great work, I'm eager to get started with a drone in 2025!

[@LuffyJump]

Being the most inexperienced person on this subject, you gave me a way to begin my journey. Kudos to you. Thank you for such an amazing video.

Welcome!! You’ve found a beautiful new world 😄

[@jjcalienesjr2397]

For a newbie like myself, I found your video to be a great starting tool. I took notes, step by step and even typed out your Diligent Practice & Patient Progress, printed it and put it up in my shop. Thanks again for your wisdom.

[@KaiVertigoh]

Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful :)

[@DJCAntisocial]

Well, this is the first of your videos i have come across since buying my son a drone for Christmas, very fun ngl, i already had Helo and aircraft RC experience so flying was easy, but the info was good, thanks alot, subscribed

[@fe4less875]

I used to fly military jets. i got a nasty shoulder injury in 2018, and i wanna experience the skies again, and fpv looks like a great start

[@Alaska-Vet]

Thank You Kai! thats a lot of info in a short video it kept my full attention through the whole vid. I'm gonna have to rewatch and take some notes. I've been flying mid level camera drones for about a year and have just started looking into FPVs. Newly retired and love to tinker, build and solder, cant wait to get started!

[@KaiVertigoh]

You're most welcome Roy! Congratulations on retiring, the world of FPV will keep you plenty busy and excited! Hope to see you around more, best of luck

[@h-dawg969]

One thing I found when starting fpv was how vital it is learning how to land as it’s something that is obviously lacking from the simulator process. I’m quite confident with flying now, but learning how to land back on a landing pad is proving difficult. I’m just disarming my quad when it’s in my general location and then walking a couple meters or whatever to collect it. And learning about lipos and voltage etc is really important as well. I learned acro via the Avata and Dji Fpv, and recently upgraded to a Bob57 03 with crossfire, and am considering getting either the cinelog 35 v2, or cinebot 30.

[@sethitsseth]

This video followed by Joshua Bardwell's learn to fly an fpv drone today should be combined into a master class! This is the video i needed a month ago when trying to make sense of the decision and pain points in this hobby / profession. cheers!

[@djaseniro]

100% agree with you bro, build your first fpv is the best option, I just finished my first fpv drone build with a digital set up and it was a very fun process

[@prodbykaioken]

Ive been running a property photography since the pandemic and boy did a simple $800 360 cam bring in so much profit customers always want an edge I’d imagine drone profits

[@joezajac2208]

Which 360 cam did you get?

[@nicholaswong4967]

Thanks so much! I think alot of beginners have trouble having the right mindset and sight to see the overview of getting into the world of FPV. Your video was really warm, gentle and welcoming for the lot of us who are absolute beginners. Great job!

[@LNguyen921]

Thank you Kai, never knew I would be getting into this hobby until recently. Glad to be receiving this knowledge from you! 🎉

[@Weebokz]

this is the video that actually made it quick and easy to understand, buying your remote and sim to start.

[@togeika]

Hi Kai, I ordered the NewBee kit before watching your video. It arrives in a couple days. You can't beat the price. I am downloading Velocidrone as I type. I found it on another review channel and you reinforced that choice. The radio that comes with the Newbee kit will work with it. I'll spend most of the winter on Velocidrone and then the NewBee in the house. It was the most affordable way to get a kit and controller to jump right into simulation. I am looking at a Newbee Stinger as a second FPV drone. After I see how much I like flying, I will build my own. Seems like the most rational progression. I am staying under 250g (to avoid licensing, tracking etc) and avoiding DJI concerned about the ban and parts in the future. I have an Autel Nano+. I am also 71 and don't mind a learning curve. ;)

[@claesweicher223]

Don't want to build an fpv drone, but I understand the economy logic and therfore sold on the DIY model.

[@ALEKHYLE]

I watched like 10 Vids, this is the first one where I can finally understand FPV a LOT better!!!

[@adambarlow5875]

The most upfront video with solid resources I’ve found so far for a beginner like me! Thanks!

[@ericleeweichen]

hell yeah! i got into fpv so quick,i know i'm never looking back....now i know i'm def geting that solder.

[@tresbb03]

I’m actually excited about the steep learning curve and high skill ceiling in flying fpv. I play Titanfall2 and man, the skill ceiling is so high and I enjoyed the whole way learning everything especially the movement.

[@MartinDurak]

I wanted to start with DJI drones but after watching your video I have realized I would love to build it myself as well be able to repair myself as I love building things. Thanks for an awesome video!❤

[@Sonic_BoomFPV]

Great vid! New sub here. I started on Crossfire, FatShark Attitude V6 goggles, and of course a Tango 2 (first and only transmitter I'll ever buy/need). Was against digital for a long time and finally took the leap. Got Walksnail Avatar V2, upgraded my fleet and I could def NEVER go back. Night and day difference. I'd definitely recommend going digital to any new pilot instead of going analog. It's come a long way and I average just 25mbps at 1080p. Keep up the good work! 👊

So as my first transmitter (other than a phantom 3 that I have) you would recommend I get a tango 2? Thanks

[@Darcity1]

Great explanation video!! This is what I needed to see!

[@FPVslayer]

Best tip I got, having money and buying all the nicest equipment will do absolutely nothing to make you better at flying manual/ACRO mode. The only piece of equipment that will actually improve (it will not make you better) your experience is buying that DJI goggles 2 and the DJI receiver to allow for much longer range, and yes, that will cost you around $1000. Aside from that, but an emax mini 2 or 3 inch (under 250 grams) quad package for around $500 and make sure it’s RTF (ready to fly, no binding and beta flight). Just charge and fly, super easy.

[@arowe231]

Oh wow...where to start? First. Awesome video!!! Well laid out and executed. The Subaru shot was amazing! Just want to say, I'm in the high to medium range on price. You get what you pay for. I'm new to this btw. To the drone fpv. I've done los drone for a few years with a cheap as cheap drone can get from "Wish" lmao. I was able to fly that piece of work. Now ready for a new adventure. As for the longevity, about 3 to 4 days a week. For the performance, hobby/work. I also want to say, I like your six steps. I'm just adding one more step between 1-5. Adding some soldering material to practice on. Have some in my cart as I type this lol. I know how just not well. Now that I am getting my Radiomaster tx16s mkii v4 earlier than I was going to :-) can you help me with what dang cord I need? I'm hitting one of those rabbit holes that go everywhere. Or I'm just skimming by what I need. Like Amazon has a Bluetooth module for 11 bucks not sure on that one either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I come from a wide range of Rc from a Tekno eb48.4 buggy to a Kyosho Nexus 30 heli. I was only able to hover my heli a few feet off the ground...augured it a few times also. So, I know all too well of taring apart and rebuilding over and over. And for your comment about learning los...pretty sure I have that down. Looking forward to getting the simulator game and use my new radio, which is going to be the transparent one with mods in the making also :-) Well, I think that sums it all up lol. If you can help about the cable or exactly what I need for the radio for the sim game and the Bluetooth module that would be great!! I want the Bluetooth so the sound can come thru my earbuds and not the speaker in the radio. What can I say, I nerdy lol. Thanks again. One last thing. Like your quote at the end.

After seeing this I now know that going into FPV won't be easy,v but it looks well worth it

[@AttractionSpot]

Question how do you know what to look for to know that it's compatible with your remote such as if you get the TBS Tango 2? Well like the site say that it's compatible with that or what do you look for? And also does the TBS Tango to sync with your computer to do the simulator? Also to do the DJI fpv drones have the geofencing like the regular drones? By the way great video I've have a autel Robotics Evo II drone and I love it and I have been wanting to get into fpv drones for a while now and just didn't know where to get started or what I'm looking for.
