1st FPV Drone? Small? Fast? (How To FPV 2020) Part 6

[@tfdwhiskeyshine2993]

Thank you for putting this “How to FPV” series together. I got into FPV after watching your 2019 how-to series and watching you rip freestyle.

[@slowridefpv9668]

I followed his first series also. Still using all the gear he recommends. It’s still a blast to pull out the little acrobee brushed quad for a few flights. The fpv bible definitely gets you up to speed on all the terms used in the hobby! Well done as always!

[@lateefabdu2327]

Random MrSteele video pops up a month ago now quads are a lifestyle

[@monkfry]

Whoa, been awhile since I tuned in. Looks like he’s Mr. Steele Wool now lol.

[@BrandonBeans]

USB cable for Beta85/95: take a snap knife or some wire snips to the rubber surrounding the usb plug on a spare cable. I had to whittle one down before I could even set the quad up.

[@legendy.9822]

NO WAY HE MADE ANOTHER. i can’t believe you’re continuing this. cheers mr steele

[@grandmaster-grouch]

mr steele is like the gateway drug of FPV freestyle #truestory that hat is hella dope son.

[@MagicFPV]

Amazing how this is an option nowadays! It’s such a more reasonable learning curve than the 5 inch quads we were flying (with no previous experience!) back in 2014/2015

[@ProjectMockingbird]

Neat little thing about the NewBeeDrone BeeBrain Brushless...it can run 2s off of that same single plug, so you can have a 1s AND 2s all at the same time. TinyHawk 2s 300 batteries have the same lead and work great with the Gold motors. Obviously you'll need a 2s tune but I got that in the works with the fellas. The only mod I've done to mine is to clip out the NBD logo on the battery tray so the 2s TinyHawk batteries fit perfectly and a rubber band to hold it on. It's CRAZY good on 2s.

[@TheBigRat770]

Yeah I went big and just got the nice shit for long range. Went with the "HGLRC Veyron 3 Cinnewoop" for my first drone. It can carry a GoPro and still can take a beating🤙 Thanks for all the help Mr. Steele!

[@DiogoFilipeR]

I've been flying with a beta75x hd as my first quad and its really awesome to start! Super durable too

[@checkeredflagfilms]

I'd recommend the EMAX ecosystem. RTF, affordable and great customer service.

[@gautamkrishna7421]

Never owned emax but I second this

[@dwightschrute3022]

Since most people getting into the hobby have a tight budget, I wouldn't recommend buying the RTF. The goggles aren't amazing and the transmitter is very limited. This means you'd have to upgrade costing more money later on

[@bl4ckr4bbit]

Emax Tinyhawk 2 RTF. the controller, balance, and speed of the drone is best for a beginner.

I suggest that you buy betafpv products from getfpv or other stores. I had to wait 2 whole months to get my micro quad from the betafpv store.

[@ninjasinc]

haha yep, I wish I had read this sooner 🤦‍♂️

[@stelic9515]

Best fpv drone for me is small and light one. I have mobula7 and I am very happy with it. Can crush alot and have no problem, is safe, and battery is cheap. For better performance buy a 3 inch light toothpick and that is all.

[@nestas_fpv5348]

I've learned with a bigger Chinese plastic drone... LOS then I just bought a fpv $100 budget kit, and it works for me 😊... But first I think simulator is better. Nice video

Some people don't want to grow the community because they are afraid of more people doing dumb shit and then it gets more regulated what succes. The idiots will find their way anyways and play with it for 3 month and do stupid shit and get bored. The passionate people will stay so the community will grow anyways. But this videos save a lot of time clicking through Forums und hours of youtube tutorials. Great work mr steele

[@rbn920]

Probably not a bad idea to mention that the radio you suggested is crossfire ONLY when selecting your first drone. I have a feeling that is going to burn some people.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

I talk about the tx16X and the crossfire comparability with all of these drones :). Listen to the whole video before you criticize me forgetting something

[@rbn920]

@@MrSteeleFPV I wasn't trying to criticize; you definitely had all the info in there for anyone that can put 2 and 2 together to get 4. Just saying it wouldn't have been bad to state it explicitly. You can see by all the comments of asking why you didn't recommend "x" or "y" that doesn't have crossfire that not everyone is going to put that together. Anyway, I found the video informative, it was just a thought coming from someone who is part of the target audience (someone who doesn't know shit about these things and just getting started). Cheers

[@vitaliyhodanov3681]

Hi Robert! I just started to develop this hobby, and at the beginning of my journey I heard a lot about TBS with their top-end equipment and the like. But having bought inexpensive equipment with the FrSky receiver, having assembled the first drone with my own hands, and having spent $ 500 on all this, I can say the following: The most important thing is that I am in the sky, I am together with you, and this is the most important thing for me, friends are flying next to me On Mercedes and Lexus, and I feel great on KIA. And the main thing is that all interest in a hobby would not end at the stage of conversation. Guys, clear the sky above your head, and most importantly for all disputes, do not forget why all this is, and this is all in order to fly, fly and fly again.

4s in the house? Holy cow! Not to change the subject but I finally broke my first drone frame yesterday. The Meteor 65. Also got my Tinyhawk 2 stuck on the neighbors roof and I couldn't get turtle mode to work for some reason so I had a heck of a time getting it down. Not sure why my Skyzone o2c goggles kept getting a lot of static after about 20-30 feet. Maybe I had a bad channel? I was stoked to try my new triple feed patch antenna and had a horrible day

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

Micros have come a long way in the last 2 years. Prebuilt can definitely work. Just be careful if you tinker a lot. The smaller drones can be problematic because there is less room to work/solder/rebuild. Had a friend that was starting out on like Emax Baby Hawks and the burn out issues were a real thing for the VTX or trying to build stacks. The buddy totally went down the rabbitbhole iver the past 2 years from micro Toothpicks up to 7in toothpicks and everything in between.

[@doraymon4797]

Nice series, you had me go and buy my first controller (TBS Tango 2) to start training on a sim. The more I read online the more questions I have. Is there a good forum where I can ask questions before I throw away my money only to find out I purchased the wrong component?

I like that Beta65X HD though

[@alexbromage8596]

I am on this. Looked into the betafpv but couldn't find instructions on how to set this up for DJI. As a complete novice I feel like going digital first rather than spending money on an analogue setup. Can I use the DJI controller with the simulator as well?

Hey, first of all have to say love you channel and videos. Second I would love some advice, I do fly stabilized drones as part of my job (DJI, Parrot, etc) but just as this video says Im thinking about getting my first FPV. Since I understand both types of flying are way different my problem is I have no FPV equipment at all, so taking advice from one of your other videos I want to start off small and gain experience so I've looked into kits like the emax tinyhawk 2, betaFPV, etc. that include all that I need or would you recommend buying all the components separately. Would truly appreciate any advice.

[@wubanga5315]

What is your preferred band and channel?

[@chaldotadeath]

Just got through the video. Any other recommendations for beginner drones that use the DJI air unit? I wouldn't mind having to build one either if it comes to be cheaper. It would be preferable actually since that's the fun part too. I'm an electrical engineer and also going into mechatronics and this looks like an awesome hobby to relate. I have the DJI FPV system (goggles, air unit and remote) ordered and arriving in a few weeks. In the meantime, wanna get the drone ordered too. I'm new and my approach to the hobby is to get a good setup in goggles, camera and remote, (might not stick with DJI remote) so I don't have to buy different ones again later on. Then can start with a decent but cheap and durable drone to learn to fly around, maybe even mod a bit. My style of flying would be like Mr. Steele's freestyle/acro. My budget is fairly good between the $1000 to $2000 range but that would be like over the life of the hobby if possible with a nice 5" quad as the end goal. Thank in advance! Thanks for making these awesome videos and getting me into the hobby!!!

[@ray_rg23499]

The part 107 license isn't required to fly drones, so long as you're not using them for commercial purposes. And the ham radio license I'm pretty sure isn't needed either unless you want to have access to different wavelengths for your transmitter and receiver, but it's highly unlikely that you'll need that.

[@netten9432]

Starting rtf price about 900 plus receiver and radio it just cost WAY to much.
