The First things you should buy when getting into FPV

[@ShunguRocks]

A couple of days ago, I didn’t know drone racing even existed, I didn’t know what an FPV was. In Zimbabwe drones are rare let alone FPVs. I saw you on Potato Jet. Since then my interest in FPVs has exploded! Dude the Bugatti / Rally car videos were awesome too!

[@NURKFPV]

hey!! awesome! I'm glad that you found me through Potato! Gene is a great guy and I hope to collab with him again soon!

[@ChrisFloyd]

Hey bro. If you need help let me know.

[@leonardfpv]

You‘re gonna love the community! Everybody really helps eachother out, that really helped me start off as well!

[@PaneInTheGlass]

welcome to the hobby bro!!

[@PhatSkies]

If you ever need help you got an amazing community to get answers from

[@zandolifpv]

Radiomaster TX16S instead of that Taranis

[@rednecktech9485]

Audio sounds so good!

[@NURKFPV]

Thank you! Finally got it figured out!

[@domenmuzga2008]

it's good quality, but very low volume, i usually watch stuff at 12% and i had to bump this to 40% to get close to normal, and i've watched many Nurks videos.

[@wardope]

I have been in the fpv scene since 2016. back in 2018 I broke my foot and was unable to go out and fly for about 14 weeks and then the winter came :(. so with almost endless time at my disposal. I booted up the simulated and practiced both racing and Freestyle for at least 2 hours almost every day. Fast forward about 7 months. was able to go out and fly again. and the result was immediately recognizable. I was doing tricks and flips hitting gaps and flying just like those guys I followed on youtube. My skills had improved by at least 500%. so if people doubt if Simulators are worth it. 100% yes they are. they will make you a better pilot.

[@CikguSyawqi]

what sim did you use?

[@2dimples_dad255]

agreed

[@pedromessias465]

What sim did you use?

[@Dr.Souravagrawal]

1- buy controller and a simulator and practice 2- fpv goggles 3- make your own drone

[@Joey.Alford]

I wish I would’ve seen your stuff before I dove in head first... I made so many mistakes (outlined in a video I just put up funny enough). Videos like this are the saving grace for beginners so thank you!

[@KhoPhi]

Going to watch yours after watching this. Built my first FPV Cinewhoop, and received 2 pre-built quads too just today. Too much info out there, no idea where to start.

[@Joey.Alford]

KhoPhi my advice on starting is to just do it and to be prepared to make adjustments as necessary. Of course a sim is the best place to actually begin but when it comes to flying irl, definitely be ready for lots of challenges!

[@calypsoraz4318]

I really appreciate your enthusiasm for new pilots (operators?).

[@doncunningham3124]

For me, I like building and tinkering as much as i like flying fpv. I believe it's an important part of the hobby. And also just as rewarding.

[@leffler2]

Learning to solder is right up there in building/repairing electrical components. I attended virtual classes at KZbin University to major in soldering. Rewarding to say the least. At this time, I’d like to thank all the online professors who helped in this late-life endeavor! THX NURK!

[@mathieuf.2788]

Learn to build your own drone, such a good piece of advice, parts list make it easy and there is plenty of content for building entire drones and build tips. Tks!

[@2high2flyfpv88]

Exactly!!!

[@lynxfpv]

I agree, want to get everyone flying! When ever asked what's the first thing to "invest" into is your controller(radio transmitter). I do hope more people in my area start flying FPV. If it wasn't for DroneNation app I wouldn't have any body to talk to in real time. Being able to talk with an connect with like minded good people whom are interested in the same hobby is a blessing. That an KZbin content regarding building!! Thank you for your first Shendrone Squirt videos! After seeing what you did I knew I needed to build a cinewhoop, an has been one of my favorite quads till this day. Plan on going out an filming some trees due to fall an the colors of the leaves. FPV has literally changed my life for the better. An you Paul have been one that has been a positive influence in my eyes. So thank you.

I've spent about 50 hours flying in a sim and maybe 2 hours in the sky with my 5". so I feel like the sim has helped me save lots of money that I would have spent on countless crashes and multiple lipos. The sim is actually how I get away with only having one healthy battery.

[@KhoPhi]

How long does your healthy battery let you fly? And care to share the link to it? I bought 3 of 1.3k mAh batteries, only one charges at the moment. Batteries I received like 2 days ago. Not sure if my charger too is faulty. I don't mind the price, but I could use a really really reliable battery for the quads (I've got 3 quads at the moment - 2 Cinewhoop, 1 freestyle)

[@Ali-rb4bo]

[@LeakyMeat]

Great advice, I also wish that avenue had been available to me when I started, the sim time alone would have saved me so much money and frustration with repairing and waiting for replacement parts as I crashed pretty much every session. I also completely agree with the "build your first 5 inch" recommendation, I almost enjoy that part of the hobby as much as the actual flying, I don't enjoy repairs so much however.

[@JohnFSmitheugene]

Nice video, Paul. And I really like your curriculum for FPV skill development. I hope you don’t mind me adding a note to your sim use recommendation. After you have flown the sim long enough to feel confident that FPV is for you, you should strongly consider purchasing your goggles at this point, not a cheap set, but the set you intend to use as your “daily driver”. I recommend this because of my own experience. I got a deal on some HDOs a while back and ended up buying them before I was really done learning to fly the sim. Looking them over, I noticed the HDMI in port, and suddenly realized that I could fly the sim using my goggles instead of looking at a computer monitor. My progress suddenly went from hard-fought to easier and more rapid and I felt so much more comfortable flying the sim. It really helped me learn. Something to consider.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks for this! I can’t wait to get started after I finish my VW bus restoration haha so expensive project 😆

[@shmuckling]

One of the best, most helpful videos I've found in the 5-6 months I've been interested in FPV. I'm a TinyHawk behind now, but I did learn some of the basics of flying, so not a total loss.. (managed to keep the little guy alive for a couple of months, believe it or not). I wouldn't mind learning how to fix it, it's always going to be my first drone. Definitely going to follow this advice from here on - it sounds well thought out. Thanks!

[@NURKFPV]

Glad that you found this helpful!

[@breakalegfpv9532]

NURK nailed it, this is just what I wish I was told before I started. I went for top shelf and it broke me before I could even fly. I spent thousands because I did not start with a toy first. thank you for your inspiration .

[@lionfishit65]

Finally a video for pre-newbe. I wish I watched something like this months back before buying tonnes of non beginner parts. you are the first you-tuber to cover quickly and fully the where do I start and what do I need in a single video. Well done. sometime people with lots of experience forget that you start from the bottom and going up. Well done indeed!!!! G.

[@shmuckling]

I agree! Same story here, only I didn't overspend, but instead just kind of went from "flying everyday and loving it" to "haven't flown in like 3 months because everything is broken I have bills to pay first". Definitely going to go with the controller+sim option next and just enjoy crashing for free for a while :D

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Great video! Your timeline is PERFECT. I am a newb who did it backwards. Bought tools. Built a 5 inch. Bought radio while building. Bought HDO2's, Immersion RC module and antennas, batteries and a charger. But I couldn't fly for shit! Scared to YAW lest I lose heading and crash (again) Discovered smaller size drones and decided I wouldn't kill anyone if I crashed. Much safer. Discovered simulator. Enjoyed flying carefree for a lot of hours. PS - I believe that I am finally ready to fly my 5" FPV without killing anyone or destroying my quad, and I am quite proficient at repairs 😁 Everyday I learn something - whether its from a KZbin vid or from experience. Thank you Nurk, you seem like a down to Earth, humble dude ( much love and respect when you said @ 12:17 - I'm not gonna even try to sell you those before I say "go learn how to build it yourself" )

[@KhoPhi]

I built my first Cinewhoop last week. 😁 I've also had about 20 hours flight time in liftoff

[@jackdaniels7913]

All grate points and thank you for keeping some content relevant for the noobs, as a now seasoned operator it's still nice to see you keeping it fresh for them as well. 🥃cheers🍻

[@jackdaniels7913]

Ps. I saves up for a long time to get the best I cooed at the time "fatshark HD3's" still rocking them to this day! Top end antennas and laforge diversity yep still rocking them to, x10s yep, crossfire full size yes sir, ISDT t8 hell ya!, think tanks airport helipak you know it! And each investment took months and some times years to save up and justify but there is so much money saved only buying it once that I'm not sad about any perches I had a few months to think about and research before getting! Good luck to all the new pilots and make ever perches count save up and get what you really want not what you can afford today but what want and can get in a few more weeks or months.

[@Tymiec1337]

Wish I saw this video 9 months ago and wouldn't have bought Tyro 119 but still it was not the worst experience. I'm looking forward to future videos. Keep up the great content!

[@skibaa1]

Regarding googles - I started with FX Viper, intending to buy a better one later and to convert the Viper to spectator's screen. They are bulky, but do the job, have a diversity to use different antennas and allow me to record my flights to DVR. So far I'm happy with my decision, I flew with Viper for 3 months at rate 10-15 batteries a week and now I pre-ordered Skyzone 04x after seeing countless videos about high-end googles. When I started to fly, I did not know too much about googles, so I selected a cheep one which can later serve as a spectator screen, and I would recommend everyone to follow this path.

[@2dimples_dad255]

Simulator time is key! Everyone has to start somewhere. Even the starter kits (that include battery, goggles, remote, and batteries), like the emax and betafpv versions, can connect to most sims.

9:30 True, I have 14 years I' m in hobby for 3 years, and I started from building 5'. Building drone is so fun.

[@NURKFPV]

i like building almost as much as flying haha

[@RCOverKill]

The Tinyhawk was my learning tool. I would fly for 5-6 hours a day at first racing a course that had about any obstacle you wanted. Smashed into rock walls at almost full speed, and maybe knock a prop off or crack the 10 dollar frame that's easily repaired. Good video Nurk🤟

[@eddiegomez4134]

Thanks! I started with the Beta FPV Advance Kit back in september. Should've just gotten a good remote and goggles right off the bat; since the only thing good from that kit was the drone. Now I upgraded to the TX16s; DJI Goggles + Rapidfire, and some NewBeeDrones. Its a ton of fun!!

[@NURKFPV]

yepppp that's what happens haha

[@dimanfpv3247]

You see the one thing I disagree with you on one thing, the 5" unless they have experience in electronics and soldering I tell people to buy all the building supplies and tools but get a BNF to start. If they have never done anything the first 5"drone they fly will be poorly built and completely un-tuned and will probably break on the first light crash because of all the cold solder joints. It's so much better to know what a good 5" is supposed to fly like then hone your skills replacing a motor or installing a crossfire nano. Small victories and easily discovered and repaired failures. Once they become confident in their soldering then it's time to order the parts and build one. I've seen too many people buy all the parts have no idea how to solder and give up before it ever makes it into the air.

[@NeverenCH]

Yea that's really the only thing i don't agree with either. I'd recommend a toothpick before going to the big boys. But to each their own. Most people i see going directly to 5'' just crash and destroy them a couple flights in.

[@mantyfpv7409]

Completely agree, I'm still new and I can fix anything on a drone and even build a full one myself but the tuning and stuff is where my skills stop so thats why I love BNF

[@LeviewFPV]

Def agree with this. Bought my first quad, a Cidora SL5 V2.1 I love building stuff on my own and know some thing or two regarding electronics. It's great to buy something you can use as a baseline for your next own built drone.

[@2high2flyfpv88]

Jeez, what's wrong with people? I'm 66 y/o and never flew a drone. After seeing some vids, I was sold. But I didn't have a computer, just a surface tablet that won't run a sim. I watched a few build vids, learned to solder, and I haven't stopped since. I was a total stranger to electronics also but the learning and building is as much fun as the flying part. Yeah, I crashed a lot when learning, but that makes you learn quite a bit faster when you suffer real consequences, whereas on a sim, who cares if you crash? having to deal with REAL consequences makes you learn many times faster than playing on something you can't destroy. Seriously, why would anybody buy a pre built quad? Are you going to send it back to the company every time you break it??? You build your own, you know it inside and out. You break it, you know how to fix it. From every crash, I learn how to make it more durable by recognizing the weak points. Also, if you buy a pre built, how will you ever learn to tune it? I just don't see any serious pilots buying a pre built.

[@MadDragon75]

When I first started flying quads, there wasn't any micro or mini drones not like the brushless now. The closest thing was Dromida Vista. Then came the Dromida Ominous that had Wi-Fi FPV. The latency was too extreme. I tried flying with my phone on the holder that clipped to the transmitter. I believe it was capable of acro mode... But how many people are able to fly acro line-of-sight? I finally got my first "real quad" was a Walkera Runner 250 (Deviation that used Multi-Wii not KISS or BETAFLIGHT.😒) from the pawn shop for $100. It didn't have the camera so I thought I'd at least get the deal line-of-sight. That wasn't a problem until repair costs. There's so many people that are lucky to live in the whoop age that are clueless to the struggle we endured just 6 - 8 years ago. I went with the BetaFPV starter kit then the 3 protocol transmitter of theirs.. The rest is a history of their brushless 65's and 75's now 85's. So many choices now! BetaFPV

[@gadgetmerc]

But Paul, the new FrSky radios can't connect to micros. The Radiomaster or Jumper is the clear choice.

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Damn that sucks big time bro - I went through a lot of crap trying to bind my TaranisX7S to my Tinyhawk II Freestyle..... at one point I thought that I needed to buy an external JR module for D8 mode but ultimately I didn't. I can relate to your frustration and wasted hours and wanting to tear the frigging hair out of my head.....not fun.

[@felipehol1]

XJT module is the answer to this problem.

Saying learning to build will save you money in fpv is like saying learning to reload your own ammo will save you money in shooting. At the end of the day you'll most likely end up spending more, and I'd still highly recommend learning both sets of skills. Lets just hope fpv parts don't become as hard to find as reloading components.

[@jeremy-williamsaerial7084]

Great video Nurk. I got a tinyhawk2 combo 5 months ago and im addicted. Feels like your Stuart little in a Harrier Jet lol. Now i have fatshark goggles with a taranis xlite and a 2.5 inch and a 5 inch. Love it. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@kristofferMakes]

The only thing I would add to this list, is to get a decent charger and learn how to take care of your LiPo batteries. Both in terms of saving money on the lifetime of your batteries, but also in terms of safety. LiPo's are a fire hazard if used without care!

[@pritchfpv6070]

congrats on 100k dude

[@wardope]

good advice is: Make sure you have disposable income because no matter what. This hobby will add up and fast. so having a broken drone and want to get out and fly but you can't because you had no money to buy parts, and then when you got the money you have to wait for the parts to arrive in the mail that just sucks. I have been there. Now I'm in a different place in my life where afford to just always buy at least 3- or 4 sets of each component. But that will add up Verry fast. what i am trying to say is that if you cant burn at least $100 at any given time then maybe wait with this hobby until you can!

[@Boywonder17]

But it's really fun to see how gud u are at it kool

[@embededfabrication4482]

I just got the DJI goggles and new frsky stuff, it all seems to work except can't get bluetooth telemetry out of the Tx. speedybee blue/wifi setups are cool too but it doesn't work for the airplanes. I put my quads on INAV....they fell out of the sky when I hit rescue mode in betaflight.

[@heroflying]

The one thing I think you gotta correct is it is NOT true now that new ACCESS FrSky radios like the QX7 and X9D are directly compatible with Tinyhawks. They don't support D8. I'm not necessarily huge on the QC of Jumper/Radiomaster, but they ARE directly compatible with D8 receivers on many whoops. People need to know this starting out.

[@jonbbaca5580]

Great intro, but you forgot about a good quality charger and 5 to 10 decent batteries. When I started I had a shit charger and 2 batteries, and it was really frustrating trying to learn to fly when I could only fly for 8 minutes each time I went to the field. It's a big plus having at least 5 good batteries and a nice charger you can hook up to your car battery and safely charge in the field so you can spend a whole day in the air.

[@iamshredder3587]

I learnt or started off for ages just playing Freerider sim on my phone with the touchscreen controls. 😀 Worked though, I mean I got a novice-2 fpv kit with flysky fs-i6 controller after that and picked it up pretty easily. Took a little to get used to a real controller and all but, not really.

[@EbonySeraphim]

Great video. I used it despite being an active RC helicopter (sport 3D style) pilot. I despite when people call it a drone, or ask "is there a camera on it?" Now I can be like "no, *this* is my drone, and it *does* have a camera." FPV for me I'm looking to cruise/sport fly and capture cinematic footage with an action camera. I jumped off the deep end for DJI Googles, Tango II Tx (I use VBar for RC heli, and VBar is too good for RC heli to be concerned with a common Tx), and an iFlight Chimera7. Q: Will I break it pretty quickly? A: For damn sure. Probably not terribly bad, and probably I won't break it doing line of sight as my RC heli ability gives me very strong skills there. Q: Can I fix it? A: I've built multiple helis from kits and have all of the tools including soldering. FPV does seem to require more fine precision soldering onto mini or microcontroller boards which is not something I'm used to, but I don't think will be a problem following guides. Q: Will I hurt someone with a 7 inch quad out the gate? A: Definitely not with line of sight flying. I fly much much bigger blades on an RC heli (potentially lethal 580mm) comfortably in open space. In the RC heli world, the first thing you learn is "throttle hold" to cut off all motor power if you lose control or see something bad unfolding and recovery above your ability. For FPV I plan on being super safe flying around unknown environments (cruising) anyways as flying around/near buildings has zero appeal to me. I also flown a ton of hours in Velidrone, RealFlight (terrible for drones), and DCS: Black Shark 2 (full scale helicopter combat simulator) so FPV flight and helicopter controls and behavior are all super familiar to me. In a sense, I'm picking something up where nothing should be completely new to me.

[@AjaxAS]

I made a massive mistake on buying my Taranis QX7, I think I spent like 250EUR in total on it due to it only being available for 150EUR and then it got stuck in customs where i was forced to pay another 150 to the shipping company as I was on a business trip and was not in my home country.

The link for the soldering iron doesn’t work. It looked like it could be powered from a quad battery. If it’s still available could you send the name. Thanks. Great video by the way. While flying my Avata yesterday, I heard a semi familiar sound. It was a guy flying a FPV quad he built. I have watched hundreds of videos but seriously…there is NOTHING like seeing one in person for the first time. I came home and jumped in the sim. By the way, I have the DRL sim.

[@da_bits]

nurk dont forget the newer taranis radios do not support d8 mode. they can bind in d16 but it randomly fail safes and the range is really bad

[@westoncraig]

one piece of advise that i would give is to not go for a racing drone when moving from the tinyhawk or building your own.. i made that mistake and it was just more stressful than fun. Life threw some obstacles and i've not flown for 3 years but coming back into the hobby now, i'm going for a smoother, cinematic feel to my drones which i hope will bring the joy back

[@vatlentinigel337]

What antennasetup would you rekomend to a beginner?

[@mrvideouploader7]

I would add, make sure you have a computer too. This is a big part of building and setting up quads.

I think first two thing one should buy are 1. RADIO 2. FREAKING FPV GOGGLES i have built a drone and bought a controller but could not afford to buy goggles afterwards goggles are so damn expensive because you can get the feel of fpv and if you dont want to continue you just sell it

I'd suggest a Radiomaster TX16S instead of the FrSky. Way cheaper and arguably better.
