Notes: 1. Don't use 600 mW VTX when you flying with friends. Max 200 mW, best 25mW. 2. Use Cloverleaf antennas. 3. Bigger angle of FPV camera, bigger speed, but you must to get used to it. 4. PID's and rates, you must to calibrate your PID's and get used to rates. 5. Better use CCD 600 TVL cameras and forget for some time CMOS. 6. Use 2.8mm , 2.5mm lenses from begining, 2.5mm is the best. and 7. Don't fear to crash, every crash gives you more experience :)

We know the vast majority of FPV pilots are not licensed to use 5.8GHz. Since people do it helps to know that, on Amateur bands, we are always supposed to use the minimum power necessary to maintain communications. No. 1 is a great point. W5USB

Also if you crash and it looks like it landed fine, don't fly it without going to see with your own eyes that nothing is damaged or about to come loose before you fly again.

Darryl Edington nerdswill be nerds...always pointing out flaws or mistakes of others.how bout people go elsewhere if alls your gonna do is judge..im a newbie with drones and all videos are instructional.

My tip is that goggles are a very "All or nothing" way to fly. If you're used to flying line of sight it's a big jump up to only being able to see what the quads seeing. The transition can be easier if you get one of the cheep 7" all in one VRX/monitors (Can be had for $40 to $50 if you get a no name brand from China) and fly with that for a few months first. With a TX mounted monitor you can easily glance up to fly LOS if you get into trouble. It's not so easy to pop off the goggles and find where the quad is while your eyes are still trying to adjust to the suddenly bright daylight. Once you can happily fly from the screen you'll find the jump to goggles is easy (And you'll still have a screen for friends to oggle at you're flying on while you're goggled in. :) )

I would love to get some fat sharks for my DJI P3P, but since I recently past my Part 107 certification, I'm hesitant to take the leap since the FAA clearly states that flying your drone with these are strictly prohibited. FPV Racers are in for a rude awakening if they intend on competing. I spoke to my Proctor after taking my test and she said that since prizes & money are involved, FPV Racers will also need to get part 107 certified, and that the same rules will apply with regards to these types of goggles. Hopefully they will revisit this rule in the near future since most FPV races are confined to a closed course. Anywho, I don't mean to rain on anyones parade guys...

Ready Set Drone what's fpv

I have been flying model planes when quadcopters were not even conceived. Before 2.4GHZ technology, we used to fly on FM frequencies,. mine was 72.810 and we wanted to make sure at the field that nobody is on that frequency or if being reckless by flipping on the radio, disaster was inevitable. My question to you, since 2.4 frequencies do not interfere as it's used a broad spectrum so why do we have to worry about the interference of the frequencies that other people flying? Can you clarify that. BTW, I am a huge fan of Hitec and JR radios.

I want to start a youtube channel for my drone. can you give me some tips on how to get you're videos out to the public?

Flying FS helicopters has similar problems with seeing wires... Looking for power poles and staying above them keeps you out of the wires...

Good advise.... I'm having a hell of a time not looking at it. I don't have a high speed racing drone (Phantom 3 standard) but I cant fly it with out physically looking at it. I try do do laps around my court and only look at my phone but i have a hard time judging distance. On my camera it looks like i am close to a tree or a car but when i look up at it on like 5 ft away. Maybe I will get the hang of it or i will just keep doing some flying where i just go up 400 ft and look around.

does the fpv google graphic really look like 30yr old video tapes?

What you discuss is the tip of the iceberg. Set failsafe on receiver often! Use a spotter. Use Blackbox! Don't fly with music in ears. 170 degrees gopro lens will help you see corners a little better. FPV parking lines will help you line up. Antennas weaken and need replacement sooner than you think. Lipo fires can happen. Risk vs Reward. Knowing when to quit. If something isn't working right ground it and disarm.

FPV looks really fun and I'm thinking about trying it out. I have one question though; sometimes, like in this video, you see a video clip from the fpv that looks like something from the 80s TV quality-wise. My small experience from phantom is that the fpv signal is much better than that. Is ''tis really how it is to fly FPV? Can't you fly FPV with like 720p or something? I understand you use the 5.8GHz for FPV, is it always that bad of a signal? Hoping someone can make this clear for me.

@readysetdrone

7 жыл бұрын

So FPV is over 5.8Ghz as you said. It is an analog signal and that is why it drops out. The reasoning (I think) is that analog signals have dropout, but they don't disappear completely like when you lose digital signal. You would not want your screen going blank while you were flying. As far as DJI (Occusync and Lightbridge), those will come in to play now that DJI has released it's goggles. But to start out flying FPV, it's cheapest and easiest to learn on the 5.8Ghz system. The dropout depends on where you are flying, the wattage of your transmitter, type of antennas, etc. Hope that helps!

High is also fine ... and low too ... You're going to need to punch out for flips especially and low flying will tone up your reflex actions and throttle control ...

One of the tips that I was given early in my FPV journey that I think is pretty close to one of the most crucial: DO NOT FLY STABILITY/ANGLE mode. Suck it up, crash a lot, and learn how to fly properly. If your goal is to forever fly really slow and just kind of hover/mosey around? Then by all means stick with stability. If your goal is to be able to fly around with what appears to be Jedi reflexes (honestly it is just muscle memory) as you zoom around trees, throwing tricks over obstacles, and having complete control of the quad? You need to learn acro. The issue is though that to learn acro, you have to UNLEARN stability as there are several bad habits stability gives you that will cause immediate crashes in acro. So the sooner the better.

@SpicyFPV

6 жыл бұрын

Phil M I respectfully disagree. If you jump straight into flying full acro with a 5” quad? Yeah, it will be an expensive journey. That is why I always advise people to start with a betaflight capable brushed micro. Often dubbed a “whoop.” They are cheap, they are relatively durable, and you can even fly in your house as they have ducts. Even if you do break a frame? Replacement is

Great video , I used to fly fpv but it’s a hassle in Los Angeles - few legal areas to fly fpv. One thing that sort of bugs me is that nobody talks about how fpv pilots legally need a spotter observer to be legal. Lots of rules that sort of force us to break the law.

Sebastian Arteaga bought myself a 250 racer from eachine (look it up on banggood) decent quality, had some rough crashes and did not even break a prop yet (I think I will be out of luck soon). But dont expect it to fly as fast as a real race quad. Also you can upgrade it with 4S LiPos and better motors. If you crash it you will still have a decent flight controller, cam, Vtx, escs and motors. There are lots of spare parts available on banggood. Check out some reviews first before you buy something! I have to change my statement. Would recommend wizard 220. the eachine racer 250 is too heavy and mine had some strange issues (motors stop working at high throttle setting - with stock battery and PID settings, banggood sent me a new FC, time will tell if that resolves my issues) Or build a fpv racer by yourself.
