My Mistake Flying FPV For the First Time | First FPV Flight

[@ArtYari_]

Do you have any tips for new FPV pilots? Or are you a new pilot with questions? Leave a comment here!⤵

[@shadowofchaos8932]

Keep a spare $500 available for whatever parts will break. Learn soldiering and video editing. Part of the pain of FPV. Joshua Bardwell for any tutorial in Betaflight. Good luck to all new pilots. Maybe start smaller drone like a 3.5" 4s for a first drone. Cheaper to fix.

[@Yartin]

How long should I fly in the sim before flying irl?

[@shadowofchaos8932]

@Yartin 10 hours. When you have decent control of the throttle to hover in one spot. Then start flying. Stick time is more important than sim hours. Getting used to the fear and excitement of flying.

[@paulr3556]

Take off further away from your face. That's number one, and other people of course. Sometimes a motor or ESC spazz-out could cause 1x motor to hit full throttle, even with "no arming" , it can happen. Please be careful. Other than that enjoy. Also learn lipo storage etc, they are explosive sometimes. Check temp whilst charging. Research lipo charging vids etc. Ammo boxes make great battery boxes. Also watch your flying around public roads, any accident could be blamed on you for distraction. Otherwise cut sick, rip balls, and happy flying. Been flying and building for few years myself. The battery short if not planned is learning the hardway, don't learn the hardway with props, take them off for any setting up on computer where you will plug in battery. Again to be on the safe side. Go down in size or get a whoop with prop guards if you plan to fly near people n bounce off them with no harm. The 5inch will hurt. Not to mention the fly safe means less crashes, less crashes means less repairs, less $$$ and less time waiting for parts from China.haha.

I've been flying FPV for about 1 year and a half. I'm no pro, but I've certainly picked up some tips along the way that I'd be happy to share! 1) buy TONS of propellers. 2) NEVER fly over people. 3) ALWAYS take your propellers off before connecting to betaflight(if a battery is plugged in). 4) More time practicing in the simulator is less money spent on broken drones. 5) Keep your batteries in a fireproof lipo-bag. 6) Never leave charging lipos unattended, even for 1 minute. 7) Install a beeper on your drone to make the drone way easier to find when you lose it. 8) Set your DVR on your goggles to record automatically. It will also help you find your lost drones, and it will save you when your GoPro inevitably stops recording for no apparent reason. 9) A fishing pole with a lead weight tied to the end of the line works great for getting drones unstuck from trees. 10) Visit live streams of popular FPV pilots. They answer your questions real time, and it can be a life saver. 11) Conformal coat all of your electrical components, and you can fly your drone in the rain or snow from inside your car. 12) Use ELRS or TBS Crossfire for your radio link. There are both very affordable and have insanely long range and deep penetration. 13) Use solder with a 60/40 lead to tin ratio for easy and perfect solder joints. 14) Bring like 3 drones with you when you go flying, because chances are, you will destroy at least one of them. 15) Install MR30 connectors onto your motor wires for easy, solderless motor swaps in the field. 16) Constantly fly in new places to challenge reaction time and memorization. 17) Experiment with different types of propellers. They all have very different flight characteristics, and you might be using propellers that you don't even know you don't like. 18) Try to run ESCs that are at least 20% above your required amperage for your motors/battery. 19) If you're wanting to fly far, install a GPS and program the drone to return to where it took off from if the signal gets too weak. 20) Enjoy yourself!

[@Chillin-fpv]

Nailed it

[@ArtYari_]

Wow, that is insanely helpful! Thanks for that

[@paulr3556]

Nicely said,.

[@tweaker1968]

More good advice! Thanks!

[@BeautyBeastRC]

There is no way I would have been flying around people with a 5 inch nazgul on my first flight. Hell I've got like 30 flights now and I still wouldn't do it. I know people in the comments been beating you up about safety but you should definitely take it a bit more seriously. Drone will literally wreck someone, seems like you should have got a cinewhoop =D

[@kurtzFPV]

You are progressing very quickly. That sim time sure paid off. If I can can just give one suggestion. Don't take off so close to yourself and your buddy. A reversed prop or a freaked out ESC could send a blender into one of your faces. Those props might not break a bone, but they can cut through most skin until they hit bone. Very nicely put together.

[@ArtYari_]

That's a great tip which is so easily over looked. Here I wanted to get the drone in the shot, but honestly it's not even worth the risk. Had I thought about some sort of accident happening I would not have done it the way I did. Honestly now after reading your comment, the image of a "prop blender" will never leave my head. Thank you

[@mortonbeard2240]

yeah, you are far too close when launching

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

So for all the horror stories i hear I accidently armed my 5 inch in my hand hittin the stupid radiomaster switch bendin over.. prolly worst case self harm and guess what? I wasnt sliced to peices. My hand hurt for sure But the "slices" were superficial. More a bruised ego than anythin

[@para9111]

So much fun to watch your progression.Nicely done.Keeps putting out videos man.Have Fun.Most importantly fly safe.

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tyw4441]

This man got it, loved the vibes on the process of FPV, its difficult, complicated but watching others journey is inspiration!

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks for watching! Are you planning on getting into FPV too?

[@danielgrass5290]

Almost done building my drone!

[@ArtYari_]

That's exciting! I definitely don't have the patience for that lol Have you started practicing in the sim yet?

[@tweaker1968]

Thanks for the tips... You got a new sub!

[@ArtYari_]

Thank you! Planning on making a lot more videos - just gotta find a way to juggle this and everything else.

[@revelmachines]

Initially I thought i was in for 3 whole minutes but i got hooked for 17!!! Loved the information, definitely makes us excited for the next excursion and really, this sort of video helps us appreciate the level of talent it takes to actually fly these things!

[@ArtYari_]

We're definitely going to be using the FPV on the next Revel shoot!

[@clifffield1]

In the footage of your first take-off, you could hear the high-pitched squeal of a loose prop. Then you started to talk about angle mode and I said to myself "what about that loose prop?". Cue, lost prop, a few moments later... Glad it worked out.

[@ArtYari_]

That's the kind of thing a beginner would probably not catch! Which is why I left it in the video. To this day any strange high pitch sound when flying gives me flash backs.

[@MindRiderFPV]

Check nuts and screws before first flight and you can’t lan it vertically, come in low and slow and disarm. Easier if you’re pointing at something.

[@ArtYari_]

That's a good tip. Coming from DJI drones, I'm so use to landing vertically since that's how those work.

[@oisinogorman35]

Im sorry but this video is an example of what not to do as an fpv pilot, please absolutely rethink your approach to safe flying and general do's and donts of this hobby, its examples like this that change the kaws and ruin the hobby for everyone

[@9Rizla9]

Rookie mistake with the nut not tight enough. Happens to the best of us. Good luck with your nazgul, great drone!

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks! Definitely the kind of thing someone more experienced would spot.

[@Tyski_Ty]

Brodie compared the controller to the Xbox lmao so lit! seeing the progression of how you started into fpv flying is so dope! bruh "I needed to nut" such a classic pun hahaha bro the Pasadena bridge shots where incredibly fye !! honestly the amount of learning, experiences & comedy jokes in this vlog makes this video great!! great work brodie!

[@ArtYari_]

Hahah thanks man! I appreciate you helping me out!

[@BAJABLAST3D]

bruh.. super excited for you but...smh this is the reason we are going to have remote ID please for the love of fpv if you're new, DO NOT FLY AROUND SOFT TARGETS!!

[@Oxtailgraavy2023]

Hey bro I'm pretty new too and my second bind and fly was a nazgul evoque.. I would advise to upgrade the antennas to the taller ones . The nazgul has a tendency to loose range quickly when the drone is facing u just because the battery sometimes gets in the way.. also installing a gps is something I recommend just incase u loose goggles feed it can fly back home. Happy flying and welcome to the wonderful world of fpv 🎉🎉

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

Hey me bro's here hey bud :)

[@ArtYari_]

Oh that's a solid tip. Explains why the video gets a bit fuzzy when I turn the drone around!

[@Oxtailgraavy2023]

@@ArtYari_ flyfish RC has some good ones on Amazon

[@tachyonpost1472]

Nice !!. Question. How did you get video out the dji v2 googles into the phone of you friend when you where flying at the bridge so he could see you ? Did not know that was possible. I am using a rasperi pi with some software and hdmi out to do that but it looks like you have a cable straight into the phone.

[@ArtYari_]

Connect the phone to the goggles via the USB C port and use the DJI Fly app! Once youre hooked up and open the app you press the blue button on the bottom right corner and that's it.

[@tachyonpost1472]

@@ArtYari_ I think that will only work with the new dji goggles 2, not with the goggles vw or v1. Heat goggles did you use this with as its hard to see. edit : after checkig your video again i see indeed you use the goggles 2 model. That explains it ;-) Thanks anyway and happy flying.

[@Xray-Romeo]

[@fiskiee_fpv]

As soon as you took off the first time I knew that loose prop sound lol.

[@fiskiee_fpv]

Also chasing random cars and flying over traffic is generally frowned upon. Do you have your part 107?

[@ArtYari_]

@@fiskiee_fpv Hahaa would have been great to have someone experienced with me at the first of the first flight, but this made for a fun story. Yeah I totally agree, chasing random cars just sounds like a bad idea. I did it here just to show Ty, but I don't plan to do it again. You really never know who is behind the wheel and what they might do. I do have my 107!

[@meffyfpv]

yeah keep going bro 🔥 🔥

[@fpvkevlar8101]

Great video bro.

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks!

[@FPV-TV419]

Even if you were experienced.... flying a 700g + fpv drone that close to uninvolved people and cars is irresponsible. One mistake, pilot or mechanical, and your in serious trouble. I do actaully like your content btw! Just be responsible 😊

[@ArtYari_]

trust me, I definitely learned my lesson lol glad you liked the video!

[@XloMotion]

The one tip I'll give you is to always disarm as you're landing. It will keep your props from damage Also you don't need to go into betaflight to change fly modes since it's mapped to a switch.

[@ArtYari_]

That's a solid tip! At the time I had not set up any of the switches on the radio so I did have to do it in BF.

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

You picked a good drone, nazguls a great starter drone and you will use it well beyond your beginner phase and probably come back to it even when you build or buy others.. i still use my original nazzy.. although now its a mutant all dif motors/prints , entire setup heh

[@ArtYari_]

That's good to hear! I also picked up a cinewhoop recently to cover the slow flying/indoors so I feel like I'll be set for a while.

[@Caroline_Tyler]

I'm going to introduce a friend to flying FPV acro. Both of us will be wearing goggles, mine on direct connection, hers on spectator. I have set up buddy boxing where I can give her the four main controls so I can hopefully rescue any problems. To my mind, this will be the best way.

[@ArtYari_]

That sounds pretty solid - I had no idea you could do something like that! Has she had any time in the sim yet?

[@Caroline_Tyler]

​@@ArtYari_Nope, none. Yesterday we were doing some line of sight flying in the auto level mode so she could get a feel for the throttle. Tomorrow she goes under the goggles with me for her first acro lesson!

[@ArtYari_]

[@oneshotz-fpv]

Welcome to the daily emotional rollercoasters of FPV 😅

[@ArtYari_]

You're not kidding..... Today I spent two hours trying to connect my controller to a new drone and I ended up bricking the controller by updating it.

[@paulr3556]

Also big laughs to no mode is acro-mode. ("Air mode on permantly on" TAB in betaflight config switched on) extra tip ;)

[@ArtYari_]

This was blowing my mind when I couldn't figure it out!! hahaa

[@JDDupuy]

You set an extremely bad example for the FPV community. Never, ever fly in an area where there are active sporting events happening. It's a distraction for them and dangerous if you fall from the sky. Flying over an active highway is just nutts! Fly where there are no people period! You have insurance? You had better get it.

[@jeremychurch5683]

I was coming here to say the same thing, you should never fly your drone for the first time around people in a park let alone an FPV drone that you barely have control of, super bad move.

[@trolllala9423]

I'm assuming you was there? i guess this blind viewer skipped out you didn't see the given space that was flown 😂 i was there at that park when i saw this guy on his drone. He showed me his channel so i can watch his video & by the time my party was leaving, there was plenty open space & he satyed in his open area. Haha this guy jumps straight to problematics but i guess that makes sence when you type away without getting actual valid answers 😂

[@alist11]

JDDupuy, seems like you're just an extremely bad example of a human period. I'd suggest sitting back in your lazy boy and crackin a blue ribbon instead of playing an armchair paralegal. Handing out "advice" the way you do could lead you to potentially hot waters.

[@bluefpv3263]

tbf you got a shitty analog clip there analog can look pretty good and its aspecially good for flying fast because you have like 4ms latency instead of the 20-30ms you get on a digital system (except hdzero) so its the opposite of what you are saying there is a reason why racer didnt fly digital till hdzero came out

[@ufopilotFPV]

Agreed. Advantages of analogue: cheap parts and not proprietary, all parts work together from all manufacturers, and low fixed latency is a big deal. I'm still flying analogue after 7+ years and no plans to change.

[@williamdollison4161]

I'm surprised you were comfortable flying over the highway its pretty dicey especially with distracting drivers

[@ArtYari_]

A lot of people are really in their own bubble when driving. I seriously doubt any drivers noticed the drone unless it came into their direct line of sight. But after posting this video I learned it's best practice to just avoid traffic.

[@Xray-Romeo]

Was he watching the feed on an iPhone?

[@ArtYari_]

Yup!

[@Xray-Romeo]

@@ArtYari_ how did you get that to work?

[@ArtYari_]

I connect the phone to the goggles using a USB C to lightning (USB C on iPhone 15 but mine is a 13 so it's lightning) and then open the DJI Fly app. In a moment they will connect and tap the blue button in the bottom right corner. That's it! Works on iPad and Android as well.

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

Um, yeah.. so can't say I'm a fan of this video there. You have some great points and tips on FPV, which are all good. BUT. Your flying shots, especially at the Colorado Street bridge there on highway134 (Pasadena?) were ...hmm, how to say this, ... Crazy stupid, kinda fits. Least you're not in RAS, but still.... Like you said, it's not if you gonna crash but when. With admittedly less than 5 hours of PIC with the FPV you are flying over and following traffic on the freeway, through trees where there are people walking ... no words dude. You are a catastrophe waiting to happen, I can't believe you posted this on YT... hope one of your 764 views ain't the FAA.

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks for your comment. Admitted you are correct about the flying being crazy / risky, especially compared to my flight time. As far as FAA and the rules (please correct me if I'm wrong), I didn't actual break any rules. If I recall correctly from when I was studying for the 107, it is fine to fly over cars when you are crossing over to another area - I was not stopped over any cars. There's also nothing in the 107 material that says you can't fly behind cars. Although, I can see how it might be frowned upon to do so. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong. In regards to the people - I didn't fly directly over them and I flew away once I noticed them. They were not walking where I was flying through the trees. I do appreciate your comment because it does raise some great points and these are things we should all be aware of and remember when flying.

Arrr, there be always but a single TOOLbox amidst the whole heap, me hearties! So why not seize yer balls and set sail, if ye find yerself all tangled in a snarl watchin' another swashbuckler bring their FPV dreams to life? ARGGG, me matey!

[@jeremychurch5683]

It’s not about pushing the limits to see what you can get away with, optically your video just looks bad, it looks like you’re a reckless pilot

[@jeremychurch5683]

And if you want to get technical about it, you didn’t have full control of your drone when your camera was pointing straight up, you should’ve made sure you had complete control over your drone before flying it around people, just a dangerous move, why not practice your first flight with nobody around, so much safer and more respectful that way. i’m really not trying to be a jerk here, it’s just when I see the video of where you were first practicing I totally see why drones are getting a bad name, yes, some of the things you’ve done were perfectly legal, but it doesn’t mean it’s not totally annoying and invasive for others, be pragmatic

[@paulr3556]

@@ArtYari_ you flew down low near cars, flying over doesn't mean following or chasing either. Think your rules say ok to fly over, but not chase etc.

[@Zobaa]

Welcome to the hobby… but please educate yourself on FAA rules. Chasing cars on a highway or bridge is extremely illegal and in most states may be considered a federal violation. These type of videos really hurt the hobby we all love🙏🏾

[@ArtYari_]

Thanks! I have studied the FAA rule about sUAV but I don't recall seeing anything about following cars specifically (please show me know if i'm wrong though because my memory is horrible). I know there are rules about flying over cars, which are pretty much disregarded when you're just crossing over them to go from one place to another. And the rules are a bit different when the area you're flying is sparsely populated.

[@ArtYari_]

Oh really? I’ve seen a few clips of analog and they don’t look too great. I didn’t realize this one was worse than the others. Being completely honest, I just searched for some footage and decided to use this one. Kind of shows that I truly have never used analog lol I know there are several benefits to flying analog, but I really wanted to go with the 03 to have the most clear feed in the goggles I could get. Also, I like the fact that 03 can record at a decent quality without needing to add on a GoPro.

[@ZeroVoltFPV]

PLEASE do not fly over cars that are on a public roadway especially a freeway like that! And especially with how new you are to flying. All it takes is one failsafe or one mistake that spooks the driver and you are causing a car to crash at 65mph and risking peoples lives. I like that you are coming into our hobby, BUT this hobby takes a lot of responsibility and preservation of our hobby is your duty as a newer pilot. This kind of stuff gives me massive anxiety because the FAA already wants to shut us down! I highly suggest you edit this video and cut out the clips where you are clearly in violation of FAA rules and guidelines before they send you an email. It happens all the time. And go ahead and add that to your "tips for newer pilots lol"

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

Thank you for speaking up EniokiFPV! My comments in this post exactly echo yours. We responsible UAS pilots need to stick together and to advise the new blood coming in to UAS flying to fly responsibly. I'm almost certain administrative action has begun on this case by the FAA.
