My First Year in FPV | week by week progression

[@KaiVertigoh]

What a great video! Super inspired by this, and happy you’re sharing the journey with us!

[@timbo_fpv]

Aw appreciate that man. Was fun to look back at the footage 👽✌️

[@justyouraveragepeiceoftoas1988]

Great video man! Your getting better, video production quality is also great, your going to be big sometime this year! I can count on it.

[@timbo_fpv]

Aw thanks heaps man! I had heaps of fun making the vid and it was cool to look back through all that old footage. Glad ya liked it and Merry Christmas!

[@Droneanddesign]

Long road to go bro. It's not just about having money to waste.... There's an art to the visuals...

[@timbo_fpv]

@@Droneanddesign At what point was money wasted lol

[@jonniejlo]

So good. Even the first shot in the skatepark was really awesome. love it.

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks man, yeah it's such a cool park that - rough as guts though hard to skate.

[@koalafpv]

Damn dude 3 quads right out the gate in less than 2 months is crazy 😮 🤑 really cool to see the progression!

[@timbo_fpv]

Haha I know. I flipped both the Pavo and CL35 so now only have two quads! Just took a minute to find the right thing hey.

[@HereIsANewGuest]

Thanks for the video, very fun to discover, with some interesting information and several nice shots.

[@timbo_fpv]

appreciate it man glad you enjoyed 👽✌️

[@JoanneMason-c7n]

So cool Tim ❤ loved watching this

[@timbo_fpv]

Cheers Jo! Xxx

[@williambergenii7277]

Great video! Loved all the freestyles stuff, but the Greece shoot was beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@timbo_fpv]

Greece is the best! Thanks heaps mate I’m glad you liked it 👊

[@Frostfpv]

bro i love your videos man.... you deserve so much love man... i can see that you are really good at throttle control. Just a suggestion.. how bout try racing too since you are good with throttle controll and flying low it can get you to find more people and get a lot more opportunities.... Just a recommendation much love and keep up man

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks heaps brother! I haven’t tried racing except for in the sim. Defo keen to give it a go , don’t have any HD Zero setups at the moment but will keep exploring for sure 👊

[@Frostfpv]

@@timbo_fpv You dont really need an HD zero setup actually but its best in the rracing theme you can try use like the old fatshark setup first to get the hang on the analog life cause its not the same cause in analog there are breakups where it can recover but in digital there are no breakups there are just freezing. you could try to use an old analog gpggle cause its just the way to start plus its cheap start anyways.. then when you have the time and oppurtunity then switch to HD zero so that you can fully maximize your capability in analogs territory

[@zvxk_gamez]

actually an awesome video, thanks man! very interesting

[@timbo_fpv]

appreciate it man! 👽✌️

[@canolaboy]

Solid year mate and awesome footage.

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks heaps brother! Keen to make year 2 count 👊

[@Foster-g7j]

man you really are hooked, this is so sick timbo!

[@timbo_fpv]

Haha yep, apart from a few months away for work I’d usually fly a couple times a week 🫦

[@angien6976]

So cool seeing the progress! Some beautiful footage of special places ❤

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks sis ❤️❤️

[@EvanBfpv]

awesome video man. glad to have another pilot joining the FPV community

[@timbo_fpv]

One of the best communities out there thanks bro 🙏

[@tobiash.5133]

Really Great video ! I’m also in my first year of fpv and I can’t wait for what is to come! I’d love to know how you got your first little jobs in fpv :)?

[@timbo_fpv]

Great time to be involved in the hobby isn't it. I've worked in the film industry for a long time so had some friends get me onto a few FPV jobs.

[@sowhatsupeirik]

Awesome progression vid!

[@kardady]

yeah its cool

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks heaps man 🙏 you only get one chance to do a 1 year wrap up vid !

[@timbo_fpv]

@@kardadyappreciate it 👽✌️

[@Mags2u]

Sick I just got a radio master pocket crush and am super excited to start playing on the sim during my 4hr flight today. Keep inspiring!

[@timbo_fpv]

Yes bro! Get into it! Sim is so fun and I still use it a bunch to learn new tricks. 10-15 hours and you're good to go IRL I reckon :)

[@mbcengraving297]

Fire video and editing! and epic piloting skills man! I start FPV this week with a little beta fpv and cannot wait! I am not sure if I will phase out of this so I will wait to buy a 5inch until I know I enjoy it. But dude your video is inspiration so thank you! Cannot wait to rip London with some small mini whoops

[@timbo_fpv]

Oh man those first flights are so exciting. Defo just rip the BetaFPV until you’re craving something with more power. I’ve got a good group of London crew - hit me a DM and I’ll send you a link to our WhatsApp if you want.

[@mbcengraving297]

@@timbo_fpv Hell yeah dude that would be great! I shall send you an email today. I am based in Essex but London is a quick drive or train ride. My betafpv was annoying faulty, however from what I managed to see and play it was great fun! So I ordered a Mobula8 with the DJI 03 kit 😅 so pumped and cannot wait

[@Dorff_Meister]

Awesome progress and flying. I’ve been flying for about 16 months and I adore it and I know there are so any aspects I can improve. Keep ripping it.

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks man! I love it too and enjoy so many different types of flying. Such a cool sport :)

[@DaisyBradford-f5j]

Some really cool spots you’ve been this year 😮

[@timbo_fpv]

*We’ve been ❤ xx

[@marcusrogers16]

Great story and great flying, mate. I'm about 2 months into occasionally flying a tinywhoop but I'm starting to build a 5" now to get that fast floaty feeling. Keep it up!

[@timbo_fpv]

Appreciate that man! Ah yeah the 5” will be a total game changer. The power is insane!

[@glimpsefpv]

I also started with a cinewoop and when i got a freestyle drone i couldn't believe how smooth it was, 0 prop wash

[@timbo_fpv]

Ah man yeah the whoop felt like a brick with propellers in comparison to the 5” haha.

[@washingtonstatepicker3460]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Do you do long distance?

[@timbo_fpv]

I would really like to build a 7” for longer distance stuff but haven’t got around to it yet. Would be such a fun build tho.

[@stastosh]

Awesome.... I want to get the avata 2 as my first fpv, do you think this is a good choice? Im not so much looking at getting into freestyljng, but cinematic fast low shots kinda like some of your clips

[@timbo_fpv]

I’d just get a 5” brother! Something like the iFlight Nazgûl with an o3 and ELRS and away you go. They just perform so much better than DJI drones.

[@validplays867]

I got the avata 2 and crashed it the same day and now the frame is bent😬

[@validplays867]

If you want to get one get the DJI Care Refresh

[@validplays867]

Other than that it’s awesome

[@yungerallenelectricalcontr6415]

Avata 2 I have is way less fun than my Pavo20 Pro. I only use my Avata as a back up.

[@dadpoolfpv]

Awesome progress, brotha 🔥🔥

[@timbo_fpv]

Appreciate it my bro 👽✌️

[@mebeldude]

Thats the spirit!

[@timbo_fpv]

Thankyou brother 👽✌️

[@Duck.fpv.]

Great recap video man! Good progress keep on try hard +1 followers 👍🔥🔥🤙

[@timbo_fpv]

Thanks so much man, was actually cool to go back thru the old footage and see the progression. Still feel like it’s just the beginning haha.

[@jonchicoine]

would love a gear list!

[@timbo_fpv]

Kept my gear super minimal man. At the moment it's Goggles: DJI Integra, Fatshark Scout (analog) Drones: 5" Build (full build video on profile), Mob6 2024 Controller: RadioMaster Boxer ELRS Action cam: DJI Action2 (Wouldn't use anything else for freestyle tbh this thing destroys the others) Hope that helps !

[@tastyham]

Wow that's impressive! Did you use a simulator for quite some time or right away on the field, and how often / what parts you had to repair and how easy / cheap / "fast" to get those shipped and fixed? Thanks!

[@timbo_fpv]

I did around 12 hours in the sim before first flight I think. The 5” is so strong I’ve only ever broken two arms of the frame and a couple of motors. If you build one yourself it’s very easy to fix and super cheap. I’d recommend doing it that way 100%.

[@wowie-ree131]

Sick video, makes me really excited to get my first kit.

[@timbo_fpv]

Get into it - really is such an incredible and therapeutic hobby. Let me know if you need a hand deciding what to buy to start with too.

[@Sensei-Ollie]

@@timbo_fpvhey, im on an unknown budget but prolly under 300 buckaroos, im thinking cetus pro or x kit, any other critique or recommendations?

[@timbo_fpv]

​@@Sensei-Ollie This is what I'd recomend and you won't outgrow it too quick. Don't get the cetus kit. RadioMaster Pocket ELRS: $65 Fatshark Scout goggles: $180 HappyModel Mob8 ELRS: $110

[@Sensei-Ollie]

@ I’ll probably get a more expensive transmitter and a less expensive pair of goggles, but thanks!

[@timbo_fpv]

yea nice one :) RM Boxer is great

[@Arquac_FPV]

How did you get your first Fpv job?

[@timbo_fpv]

It’s definitely been easier for me because I already work in the film industry - so I’m able to tack some FPV footage onto jobs I’m already shooting.

[@DaverseSeinPrivater]

how tf did ur esc catch on fire

[@timbo_fpv]

It was a common issue with the v1 Pavo Pico - BetaFPV were legends and replaced it though 🙂

[@Spockpower_prive]

where do you live?

[@timbo_fpv]

In London at the moment! But im aussie.

[@rccars2472]

Also my first year in fpv but iver never gotten any jobs how do you get jobs.

[@timbo_fpv]

It’s been a bit easier for me because I already work in the film industry, so I’ve been tacking FPV onto jobs that I’m already shooting :)

[@Dawe957]

Surreal I’m just starting it’s a long journey 😂😂😂😂

[@timbo_fpv]

Feel like I’m only just starting too 😂 But the whole process is so fun.

Dug up a few earthworms 🪱
