Why you should change your FPV Rates

[@MaelstromFilm]

I've been flying fpv for about two years now and this video has been the most clear explanation of rates I've seen so far.

[@stefanorinaldo]

thanks 😀

[@veritasiumtry2015]

Thank you Sir soo much. This is the only fpv video i have watched and it has explained what RATES are especially at 1:00 . Others all they do is TALK about super high rates, race like Mr steel sooo fast e.t.c which is not good for beginers ! 😊

[@Binkoro]

Finally somebody explained rates! Every time I hear someone talk about rates, I ask myself, “Rates of what?” Thank you for explaining!

[@jeansteferson1708]

This video has been the most clear explanations of rates I’ve seen so far 😮

[@stefanorinaldo]

Thanks 😀

[@MusFPV]

Thanks! I tried few different rates and this one seems to be the best! I'm sticking with it.

[@jeanlucvassort6411]

Bonjour, your video and comments are clear and very instructive, thanks. I did apply your suggested rates (actual) and downloaded the Avata model and run both of them in liftoff: works very fine. Many thanks as i fly IRL on Avata (normal/sport modes only so far), will help to prepare the Manual transition ....

[@stefanorinaldo]

Thanks :)

[@flyingfarm1]

A very good explanation of rates. I have the Liftoff simulator and will do some experimenting. Thank you.

[@stefanorinaldo]

Thank you

[@lampiditesla]

Great! Thanks! In your opinion, what’s the best drone/configuration in liftoff to match Avata in reality. Thanks

[@lecolintube]

Yeah that’s awesome! Found some similar rates through experience - but this is invaluable! Thank you so much 🙌🤩

[@CreatorDrews]

That intro had me LOL , awesome explanation!

[@stefanorinaldo]

Thanks

[@DTheProducer]

Great video, thanks very much!

[@airfeelingfpv]

Thanks for the excellent explanation !

[@AnemosFPV]

The start of the video...I was like wtf....and then the cut to the controller! That was epic! Well done!

[@stefanorinaldo]

😄 Thanks!!

[@sprintlifecamp]

These rates are perfect on the avata 2 for smooth cinematic flying

[@AlSo-Fotografie]

thank you. ill test it :)

[@AdithyanP-u2s]

Hi thanks for your suggestions on this, I've been looking online fkr one particular question, what is a good gimbal angle for flying in dji avata, I've mastered flying in liftoff with its default flying angle of 30degeees, it is safe to use the same in real world with dji avata

[@stefanorinaldo]

Hi, 30 degrees are fine for the avata. You can always change the angle with the wheel. Anyway, try different angles.. Yaw and roll change a little bit at different camera angle. Be aware of this changes is good to learn faster.

[@Inertia888]

I haven't flown the avata, but for camera angle, if I intend on sitting in one spot, to say, film the sunset, or just very slowly drift above the edge of a river, looking at the opposite riverbank, I might use as little as zero degrees camera angle. If I want to just fly fast and not pay much attention to the filming aspect, I will go as high as 50-degrees camera angle. How far forward does the Avata pitch forward, at full throttle, when staying at the same altitude?

[@ab0uts]

These rates are exactly what I've been looking for. I've tried many others, and none give me the confidence that these do. I am very quick with my fingers naturally, so this feels more natural for me. I did want to ask though; can you do rolls or flips with these rates? I am too scared to try, but I feel like if you can, then it would be SUPER smooth. One last thing.. I don't like the controller "mod"/adjusting the throttle tension, and I find these rates are PERFECT for that. (in case anyone else out there is in the same boat) give these a try fr.

[@stefanorinaldo]

good :) Yes you can do rolls and flips too but try in a simulator fist!! These rates are more for cruising not for crazy freestyle tricks.

[@ab0uts]

Sweet! Thanks. I've been using these rates in liftoff as well & I feel like I can do them in real life, but it's just hard to commit, which you have to 100% commit once you start & not spaz out mid flip or roll lol

[@stefanorinaldo]

@@ab0uts Yes, not easy :) But.. try focusing on finding your flow, and the rest will come naturally🚀

[@NONX01]

I don’t understand why would you keep Center Sensitivity so high. I ve tried insane amount of rates and played with it - I can’t see any benefit of setting Center Sensitivity on anything higher than 10.

[@stefanorinaldo]

Hey, actually I think it's easier for beginners. I tested these rates with some of my friends who started FPV and they feel more control... especially with the DJI Avata because the low center sensibility it's more similar to the feeling of N and S mode (so when you switch to M it's not super sensitive like the default). But if you have confidence with a higher center sensitive it's good 👍👍 higher central sensitivity enhances accuracy in some way.

[@NONX01]

@@stefanorinaldo it was more like a question I would love someone to prove me wrong and made me think cos I was really obsessed with rates because I feel like in this industry specifically you should not REALLY start practising until you have your rates entirely figured out and muscle memory set in the right place THEN NEVER TOUCH THEM AGAIN - only fly and practice. I also believe is 100% personal thing and people should try out diffrent rates and configurations but only implement them if they feel right FOR THEM. Copying blindly is imo the worst what you can do. I fly: 10/750/0.60 roll 10/900/0.10 pitch 10/500/0.60 yaw 50 throttle mid and 0.2 throttle expo. Geprc Mark 5 DC Great video by the way.

[@stefanorinaldo]

@@NONX01 I'm obsessed with rates 😀 At the beginning I was copy and paste values without knowing nothing. I don't think it's wrong, it's a learning process. Thanks for your rates, I'll tryout in liftoff!

[@NONX01]

@@stefanorinaldo I come from competitive video gaming ( fps ) and it was as important there as it is here maybe that’s why I was really focused on rates from day 1. That would be sick no one ever did that I would be so interested in like how does it feel for a random advanced pilot 😁

[@stefanorinaldo]

@@NONX01 ah ok I understand :)

[@AdrianLopez_vfxwolf]

Very nicely put together. I have Liftoff and I've been trying different rates - my question is, have you modified the other drone parameters to approximate an Avata? I've been testing rates in Liftoff.. but the same rates feel very different when I'm flying the avata in real life

[@stefanorinaldo]

Thanks!! Drone type and size affect the flight characteristics, on smaller quads you probably prefer higher Center Sensitivity to have more control in small environment. BTW I have 60 350 0.5 on my avatar and feel very good to me, of course it's always a personal preference. Try to change your Center Sensitivity and expo to get your perfect spot.

[@AdrianLopez_vfxwolf]

@@stefanorinaldo actually I was talking about inside Liftoff. How did you get the simulator to match an Avata? There’s no Avata model. What type and size of drone did you select?

[@stefanorinaldo]

@@AdrianLopez_vfxwolf sorry 😀 In liftoff there is a DJI add-on but without the Avata at the moment www.liftoff-game.com/news/dji-fpv-now-available-liftoff But you could build something small and similar to the avata in the workbench

[@AdrianLopez_vfxwolf]

@@stefanorinaldo Understand the Avata isnt in Liftoff (yet) but have you built a drone similar to the Avata in workbench? How did you do that? What settings did you use?

[@stefanorinaldo]

[@JasmineJu]

My rate profiles for cinematic are 45, 90, and 180 linear 😂

[@austinspired]

I don't think there's such a thing as the best rates out there. What's best for you may not be for me.

[@ChrisParayno]

Slow with flow is my rates

[@judahfpv]

Not sure if it’s just in our region but I can not get the expo to 0.5. I can not go past 1.00 any tips?

[@stefanorinaldo]

Very strange. Do you have the last firmware?

[@judahfpv]

@@stefanorinaldo I do, on both the goggles and quad. I can get to 0.10 but nothing lower. 0.5 is butter for me. 😩

[@stefanorinaldo]

@@judahfpv no problem, 0.10 is fine too

[@thepouncer01]

@@judahfpv 0.10 is already lower than 0.5…

[@antonioteofi90]

Topp🎉

[@AgroAaronFpv]

I fly at 800. There's no such thing as cinematic rates. Move your fingers slower if you want your drone to react slower. There's quite a few maneuvers you just cannot do with rates that slow.

[@Bollibompa]

Everyone disagrees with you bruv.

[@totyrain]

ah! i thought it was about FPV, but it´s about the avata. ok then.

[@stefanorinaldo]

you can apply the same principles to almost every fpv drone.. I have the same settings on my 5 inch fpv 🙂
