day 1 no experience and no simulator experience is better

It's awesome watching someone slowly get more confident and start pushing harder as the video plays out.

Yeah, like all he had to do was gather his "footing" and he was set. Was a fun video and inspired me..dude seems cool, too. It indeed *WAS* a power loop, i don't give a fuck.. hehe

Man if this is genuinely your first flights you did amazing my first drone was a little 90mm and I crashed it around 15 times a pack, just getting back into the hobby hope my first flight IRL is this calm 🤣

What sim do you recommend me?

Thats fantastic! Happy to see Liftoff helped :)

So nice to have your first flight and your reactions documented like this! It's a very special moment. I had less hours in the sim so I just made some cruising and a few scetchy rolls. It really shows you had more stick time from a sim before this.

That was one of the best first flights in the history of FPV drones dude. That was a great field to fly as well. I see this is from 2 years ago so I assume you've had a lot of fun by now.

Nothing beats your first battery. That feeling when you take off and go OMG why did I not get into FPV earlier. 5 seconds later already purchasing my next build.

Oh yeah, first battery nerves and adrenaline. My first pack was a calm little DJI Mini 4 Pro + RC2.... By pack 3 I'm hooked and buying the FPV head set. Just 2 packs into the FPV headset I'm like _"Man! I need a 100mph racing whoop !"_ LOL This hobby bites you hard : )

I’d like to hear your take on the difference between the control of the simulator and the real drone. Thanks.

I just started with a LiftOff the other day.. I'm pretty much taking the same course you are... Really cool to see that running a sim first works.

Mate, Ive been a fan of your content and just built my first drone. Thanks for sharing your journey, just wanted to say it was one of the inspos to do my first vid. I remember watching this one 2 years ago and thought it was sick.

I was going to start with buying a beginner drone (kids) but now you have proven with enough practice in a simulation it can be done! which means more money to go into your actual build thanks for the great video and happy flying

Dude i've been watching FPV videos recently and seeing that you were able to do this good after only 100 hrs on FPV simulator inspires me to buy that and see where it takes me

That is really reassuring! Today I finished my 6th hour in liftoff and already feel way more comfortable compared to the frist 3. I too plan to sink way more hours into the sim before trying my first actual flight! Cool video!

Mate! I am so happy I stumbled upon this video! I'm trying to get into the FPV hobby and I also was told to hit the simulator. I've got about 10 hours across Liftoff & VelociDrone but I feel my skills have improved considerably in such a short time! I definitely think getting a basic radio and grinding out the hours in the simulator is solid advice. Seeing your skills translate from the simulator with immediate results with confidence was excellent; I hope I can do the same.

Well done man, cool to see your journey 🤜🤛

Great to see - the first packs are so much fun! You have solid skills to start, good work!

great first flight man. Nothing beats thatt firstt flight adrenaline. Props to you for putting the hours in beforehand to feel confident in your first take off

This is very encouraging! I've been flying a DJI Air 2s for about 3 months and really want to get into FPV (considering the Avata). I've been flying in Liftoff for about a week now and I'm nowhere near "ready", but I'm getting much more comfortable even after a couple of days. I can totally see why so many people who fly GPS camera drones end up crashing an FPV almost immediately because that's exactly what happened to me in the sim. The controls are SO different from a GPS drone. Having to coordinate yaw and roll together to turn takes a LOT of getting used to. I can't imagine trying to learn without a sim.

I always find this interesting to watch. When i started FPV there were no simulators and learning to build and fly was a painful process of trial and error. You were flying like someone with many hours of practice from the get go here.

Nice! You did 1000X better than I did on my first flight. My first quad required an entire rebuild afterward. Off to a great start!

Massive first flight!!! That was amazing bro!!! Keep it up!!!😃

Got about 5 hours logged, love this! Thanks for sharing!

Fun to watch the learning journey of FPV! My first quad was a Titan and it went through hell and back, ha.

Great video mate, just starting out in sims myself, subbed.

That was pretty good for a first time out. I didn't spend too much time on a sim when I started and I was flying auto-level and yoyoing up and down trying to get throttle control. It was so frustrating. After I dedicated about 60 hours on Liftoff in Acro mode, I was able to fly decently. . But as you no doubt noticed, flying IRL isn't quite the same as the sim. Now you just have to learn how your quad responds to get a feel for it. Play with rates. And if you want to get into the weeds more, maybe adjust the tune.

Did really well! You'll get better as you get used to your drone and once you dial your tune in. One thing the sim doesn't do a great job of teaching you is how prop wash and ground effect affects the way a drone behaves irl

That setup looks so dope and great shots as always!!

That's awesome man! I've got around 50 hours of sim and about 2 IRL and def the sim helps a LOT! I master tricks on SIM before thinking about doing them IRL. If you're using the two-finger pinch grip on your controller sticks, letting go of the one that is responsible for YAW will help you keep a straight line for powerloops. In my case, its the index, thumb does the throttle. Good luck!

That sounds cool man, I'm starting a KZread Chanel here in a little while, and it's going to be more about cinematic FPV to. It's cool how your changing it up a bit!!!

I'm in the stage that I've got my drone, glasses, batteries, and I am waiting for my transmitter. I already have around 50 hours of simulator and I've got 15-20 days more of waiting for the transmitter. So the day I'll finally fly, I'll be in the same level with you on this video. I hope I'll make it like you my friend.. you did it great!!! Thanks for the inspiration ;)

Sooo happy for you bro!! 😎👍 that was amzing got you subbed for that awesome experience

Decent first real flight, keep flying man 👊

You need a rear camera! Fly at any speed but when editing the rear camera footage run it in reverse and at any speed in the editor.

You are my motivation. I have enough money to buy an FPV now but I'm going to hold out until I can complete some races without fkn up. I am using the same Sim and also drl racing. I fly normal drones now but it's not even worth mentioning because it's night and day.

Well done, I've also spent alot of hours on the simulator but flying the real thing is a completely different ball game. You did great.

Thank you for introducing me to a type of drone I didn't know existed... the freestyle drone that uses DJI control and display equipment. I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on a DJI drone because I thought I'd be locked into only DJI drones after that, unless I wanted to buy another radio & goggles.

wow the quality is so nice, waiting for the next part :3

FPV Sims are for winter months and rainy days. Now it's summer so go out and fly. You can't compare a Sim with real flying like we can see in this video. Your learning curve is strong at the beginning. All that counts is stick time! 👌🍻 Btw: Add some expo to your rates. It will feel better and look smoother.

That looked really fun 🎉

This was really cool. I guess the simulators really work to train with, like really well! I've been in FPV since 2018 and only flown on Liftoff a handful of times. I've never learned air mode and still only fly on angle mode but I guess I should get on Liftoff and get some practice! Subscribed! :)

Great video dude :-)

Thats crazy goes to show how good simulators have gotten great job dude!!! I fly planes and jets very very well but drones and helis are quite a bit different haha gonna work on drones then Helis seeing how Helis are hardest imo!!

What a great vid!!!

One thing not mentioned is if you want to apply your experience in Liftoff to real life, then be sure to use the same controller you will use for the drone. Should be your first purchase.

This was a good flight man! I've just got my first tiny learning quand and spending first hours in simulator, anticipating the first fligth. So I was scared as fuck when you barely dropped the quad in very first attempt :D Good luck!

Great flying for first time!

Dude you are impressive! That 100 hrs really treated you well!

Nice 1 brother! Welcome to FPV! I hope you are stubborn and persistent, because you need to be to stay in this hobby. Especially when you start having to build, repair and trouble shoot. There's plenty of help though. Joshua Bardwell is THE man!! ❤😊

Ayee this is sick!

So So So lucky to have the Evouge and HD cam and HD goggles and go-pro for your first drone. My first drone was the 1 inch Hubson no goggles no cam in 2012 and I still use analog to this day. 😭

The way you perform multiple flips smoothly is grazy

Awesome video bro, I’m 2 hours into verlocidrone sim and it’s super hard ha ha

what controller did you use with the simulator? also, did you use a headset when using the sim?

Welcome to the hobby bud it’s awesome 🤘😎🤘

Fpv is so goated

I’m using the DJI simulator app for learning acro Are there any rates/expo you recommend ? And did u change the rates/expo u used on the simulator to be same for this drone before flying?

Nice dude

Bro you are really good

Thank you for your Verbage ,Xopy that and Bravo Bro .what Symulator do you recommend?

So the simulation teaches real good. I got the first Dji Mini.. none of these flicks are possible.. still fun though.. working towards a FPV kit

Awsome job mate you just need to change the outro music cause that is Stu from UAV futures music when he does his tutorials lol

Nice, bro! I am recently developing interest in learning to operate as a career choice. Would love to do cinematic, as well.

I still remember my first fpv pack. Broke my drone and sent me down the rabbit hole of building breaking buying.

how much was your whole fpv thing (like drone, goggles, controller etc

Nice, I saw you posted the drone but what controller and goggles are you using?

This is great spot for fly

Did you use the same radio on the sim ? Or did you use a simple gamepad ? I want to start with the sim just like you, I never flew fpv, but only stabilized dji

not bad as for the first time!

Imagine how many crashes and how much money you would have spent without the hours in the sim. I started this hobby before there were any good sims like Liftoff. Very smart way to get into the hobby especially if on a budget.

This video was great, felt like I got the first hand experience myself of flying it for the first time. This made me feel more confident to buy one irl!

100 hrs in the simulator is crazy most people I think could fly in manual or acro mode in 10 to 20 hrs I had never flown in manual and I was able to do it in ten hrs

I’ve just discovered the DJI sim app. And it’s definitely fun even if you don’t fly a drone.

I've been playing dcl the game(I know it's not the best but I got it for free) I've only been playing 3 hours and I'm about as good in the game as you are in real life. So high hopes when I get my first fpv drone.

its 2024 and im seeing this vid now. Tbh i feel like I need to start on this hobby too. Does anyone know what goggles is he using? and which one of those 2 links for the drone he has and whats the difference between those two drone? Thx

I'm pretty nervous every time I fly. Liftoff must work! I've crashed countless times.

Cool 👍 I’m on my first couple minutes of LiftOff and started acro mode. NOT easy at alllll… yet ✌️

what controller did you use for LiftOff when you trained/pratice?

how does this drone fly when diving or going very quick or low throttle? i have a drone which i try to dive yet it shakes and crashes

After 100 times of my flight, mine never this good. But I'm good with build one. Thanks for sharing.

Which goggles are that, Integra or 2? And why did you pick those?

Nice! Which simulator did you use?

Still, would be nice to have reference video on how well you did in the sim before grabbing the real thing. Maybe it's the same, maybe lightyears away. 100h in sim is very personal and doesn't mean much.

every time you get close to the ground i think in my head "Lawnmower"

The sim time really showed. Hope you had a plan to rescue your quad from a tree top when doing tricks there.

Very nice video
