I'd definitely would be interested in seeing a beginners kit in the $200-$500 range! Thank you for what you do for the hobby!

[@patrickpendergast898]

I’d do a radio master Tx16s $160, elrs vtx $50, beta analog goggles $50, rekon35 quad $170. But there are lots of good bind and fly analog quads under $200-$250. I got bored with a phantom 4 just 2 days after getting it. Now I want more performance.

[@Phrancis5]

Yeah, brushed analog tiny whoops is really the best value for getting into FPV and a hoot to safely fly around your house/yard. Another cheap quasi-fpv option for the DJI camera drone crowd is to fabricate your own "box goggles" using a single fresnel lens and your phone. You essentially end up with an enlarged and immersive view of the DJI app showing the live view of whatever drone you have. This is the only way I fly my OG Mavic pro, if I'm not flying brushless quads and tiny whoops.

Excellent rundown on FPV. I need an inexpensive starter FPV drone. This is after I’ve already crashed 2 camera drones. I’ll be using my camera drone for aerial photos and photogrammetry, and get one of these cheap FPVs to actually learn how to fly!

[@hs7ehfheuezdhji]

It all depends what a pilot wants to do with the drone. Since the DroneMask 1+2 on the market, this goggles transform the camera drones into fpv. I have dji drones, wanted just basic fpv, so, for me was obvious to buy a dronemask. Kinda expensive 180€ or so, but I didn't have to change anything or buy other new equipment. For indoor I have tello drones, for outdoors have a spark and a mavic mini1. These drones can't do acro tricks, but fly very stable and reliable.

The VR goggles that I’m using for my drone is the Eachine VR 006

Captain drone. Hey thanks a lot from your Montana neighbor here I absolutely love your videos they are really helping me narrow down what I’m looking to get into I sure appreciate you. I’ve been researching fpv for around a year now. after getting really good with my cinematic drone videos I’m looking at taking it up the next level to eventually get to building my own higher quality for amazing video footage I’ve logged about 80 hours of fpv simulation I’ve started saving money to look into a first true fpv. I am a pincher but I’m torn. Pavo pico 2? If there’s a 2. Should I start with something that I could put my camera on it ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Definitely do not begin with a drone that can handle an external camera because such a drone may be too powerful for a beginner. Get any FPV drone that is a Cinewhoop or plain whoop. Such drones have prop guards built in. Practice flying outdoors over grass & life will be good.

[@Editer38738]

Betafpv Aquilla 16 is the best in my opinion

Remember, this vid is about kits UNDER $200. The Aquila does not fall in this category. But, I agree, it is excellent.

Is it possible to fly these without a smartphone? I am more interested in flying than pictures. I will worry about cost after I see if I can do what looks like fun to me.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Hello Steve, I'm so glad you took my advice and went with "grandma approved"😅😂 I see you added it was even grandma approved but it just doesn't have the same ring. Have you talked to FMS about using it in their advertising?😅😂 I love this video. For the last year I've been thinking about getting into FPV but not sure if I should get a kit like this and have to upgrade or get something better and not have to upgrade as quick. If you were buying a beginner kit would it be cetus lite or do you think it's worth it to go full "cetus"? Seems to me that bang for the buck "Cetus" is the way to go. UT is it worth $40us more? As you know living in Canada $40us is closed to $55cad😢

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

There is also a CETUS PRO with upgraded brushless motors, but it is over $200. For most people not sure about the FPV hobby the CETUS LITE or CETUS scratches the itch.

[@sheiladavis2304]

[@denverscott37]

I've had to return 2 different BetaFPV Aquila 16 drones, both of them started doing this thing where they'd fly great for a minute or two, but sure enough they would descend to the ground, and wouldn't fly higher than a couple inches off the ground 😑 i had 8 batteries, they did this with all 8 batteries, fully charged. The first one lasted a couple weeks before it started happening, sent it back but its replacement didn't make it 2 days before it started doing the same thing. Being so new to the market, i couldn't find anything on line about what was going on with them, or how to fix it. I cleaned everything on them, including the sensor on the bottom for the auto hover feature, i finally just gave up and returned both of them and got my money back. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how i felt..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Since you were flying in beginner mode where the drone holds the height, it sounds like the barometer needed calibration. I believe on these beginner quads you can go into the menu and have it recalibrate. The good news is that if you wish to get into the true FPV hobby there is no such thing as flight assistance and everything is up to the pilot, so if you are learning to control the height continuously during flight, you’re on your way to becoming a real FPV pilot.

[@denverscott37]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah I did the calibration a few times, still did the same thing. As for fpv flying, that's pretty much what I was thinking, the Aquila 16 got me to understand what it's about and I was just starting to fly in sport mode, not full acro but pretty close so I'm thinking my next FPV purchase, I'll skip the auto hover stuff and go for the real deal and just practice with it outside in the wide open, thanks for the reply, love the channel BTW

I only have camera drones...may want to try FPV...question: why does the FPV video appear to have such poor quality??!! Also, what happens if u fly out of range with an FPV drone?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You do realize I’m a GPS Camera Drone Pilot and also fly FPV. In the FPV hobby you have 4 types of video (see already it is confusing). Analog video looks terrible on camera but great in front of your eyes. Digital video comes in 3 types and none are compact with the other. Digital video is what a camera drone, like a DJI MAVIC uses, so you get the same image. In the FPV hobby RANGE is determined by your battery and your video signal. As soon as you can’t see where you’re flying, well that is the end of the flight in that direction. FPV pilots know what to do when this happens on any drone.

[@Donttouchmee-001]

Why the cams look like they ars from the 2000s :/

[@mclarencraze7373]

What I would do with one of those is take the camera out and put it on a Rc plane!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Many do just that, or put them on RC cars, but at 25mw you can’t fly/drive the plane or RC plane too far away.

@@schweizerluchs7146Correct. The FPV kits shown in this video are, as I say in the video, to get your toes wet in the FPV hobby without jumping into the FPV pool. For the people that find they have the skills to fly, then they can look into the more expensive gear.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798if you are new to the hobby and only have $200 buy a pair of used goggles with dvr like ev800d then a baby ape for $80 and a radiomaster pocket it may come to around $210 but your gear will be so much better leaving room for upgradability is important and just simply going used can get you much better equipment

[@galardo3303]

@schweizerluchs7146 i dont think that is good. As a beginner u don't have the patience to fuck around with open / edge TX. It's a nightmare to set up if u don't have a little bit experience. And if a beginner gets his hands on a radio with edge TX it will not end with him flying fpv...

I love your reviews, however I have two niggles with this one. As a professional educator I'm going to disagree with your assertion that Camera Drones require no knowledge or skills to fly. The knowledge and skills are different than those required to fly FPV, but it is absolutely the case that one requires both knowledge and skills in order to fly any drone. Reading, critical thinking, the ability to follow directions, the ability to understand applicable laws, motor-control skills (both gross fine), etc. Also, there were (and still are) adapters on the market that allow lenses from different manufacturers to fit onto camera bodies of another manufacturer. I used several Nikon F mount lenses on my Canon FD mount camera back in the day. The advice regarding drone video is great, but the analogy falls flat.

As a drone pilot since 2013, who has personally provided guidance to GPS Camera Drone pilots, I will again say that any human with zero knowledge can go to Best Buy, and get themselves a camera gps drone and be flying the same day. Federal regulations apply in certain countries, but the onus is on the would be drone pilot to know them. My comments are in regards as to how everything works with the drone (zero advanced knowledge required), and the skill set to fly it. Again, zero skills required. If you wish to see an example, here is my 90 year old Father flying an inexpensive GPS camera drone for the first time (zero knowledge all around but he flew it because the drone does all the work for the pilot): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4G8m5edpbWZmNUsi=Ev5mtJB1Lr_4HBXC

Will you be live stream

The cetus is not $159.99 it's $191

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup it is indeed $159.99 on the day this video was made and in US dollars.

[@jimmace8396]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 according to Amazon it is $191.99

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@jimmace8396Still shows $159 US when you click on the link below my video and buy from BETAFPV. Amazon is for the humans who still don’t trust China and believe they are buying from the US or Canada.

Steve, I've been following you for years but I have to say this. Please stop making FPV so difficult when it really isn't. Yes it takes time and is different to GPS but it's different and not difficult. Also neither fpv or GPS are better than the other, both have place and have strengths and weaknesses.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

FPV is difficult. If it was not then I would not spend half of every day answering questions from people unable to setup their radio, use BETAFLIGHT Configurator, Figure out ELRS and the binding of any receiver. Also, I am a GPS camera drone pilot who also does FPV. One is not better then the other but in this day and age where drones are heavily restricted, it is the GPS Camera drones that then become less exciting to use as there are few places to film, but the FPV hobby is more for flying in a confined space at high speed, thus with FPV the thrill remains.

[@marksdroningon6661]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 come on you make it out to be some kind of holy grail that is beyond the reach of the average human.

[@bulldogboy100]

This is the first video of yours that has made me seriously consider unsubscribing. You disdain for camera drone pilots is so bright that my eyes are still hurting

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I am a GPS camera drone pilot. I make a living as a GPS camera drone pilot. Are you a real human or a bot?

[@user-bn1is2pq1b]

Would like to see a 200-500 kit as well! Looking to get back into the hobby
