Glad you made this video by putting an English version on top of your original one. The knowledge you’re providing is precious, don’t bother about lip-sync, keep up the great work!!
Love how you used your flights & footage to teach! For those who don’t have enough for a full setup, buying a controller ($60-200), a simulator ($15), and maybe a tinywhoop setup ($160) is the ultimate hack for getting started with FPV without breaking the bank. Thank you for sharing your experience in such an entertaining and educational way.
@@milopack1191 Liftoff is the most well-rounded one. It's slightly more expensive than the other but all sims are still cheap compared to a good controller.
I'm new and just bought the tango 2 controller. I was completely lost in the liftoff simulator and almost gave up. After 4 hours of crashing in the sim, it finally clicked. Now I can fly around and do basic maneuvers and generally go where I want to go. It's amazing and can't wait to start flying a real drone. If you're new and the sim is confusing as hell, don't give up. Just keep crashing and it'll eventually click for you too. I still don't know exactly how I'm controlling it, but my fingers and brain seem to have developed some muscle memory on its own.
So cringy to watch that. But he’s doing his thing making a video. Props for that. Yeah. Use the source audio or reshoot. It stuck out like a sore thumb. Thought my audio sync was off
i bet he could make it sound way more natural just by changing the audio balancing a bit during the scenes where hes talking to the camera literally theres nothing cringey about a simple editing misstep
You don't need to pretend to talk! A voice over works well and is less distracting than pretending to talk. I don't mean this in a rude way the video was high quality and the information was beyond detailed and better than good!Again I am not trying to be rude as I am a bilingual person that english was my second language. It is now my first and french is my second well quebecois which is just more slang style of french they speak in the Quebec province of Canada. I am saying all this so you know I am not trying to be rude only giving a personal observation. Thankyou for the videos, knowledge experience, and personal opinions for of novice flyers out here! Please keep the videos coming I am enjoying your channel!
You know that saying your personal observations can be very rude too right? Even if you claim you don't mean them to be, even if you try to overemphasise and explain in detail how you're not being rude. Rather if you feel the need to spend most of the comment defending against its appearance of rudeness that's probably a good warning sign to tell you that you are in fact being quite rude and know it and feel guilty of it deep down so should probably just keep your personal observations and criticisms to yourself and hold your tongue in that time. And I'm afraid you being bilingual just says to me that you should probably understand the difficulties with such things better than most and thus should be less quick to judge and insult for it. That said I do genuinely respect that you do seem to have the good character to actually feel guilty about it and not want to appear overly rude at least or correct it which speaks well of you and is awhole lot more than many self-entitled, self-important whiney little twats who think everyones like their over-pampering mommys who tells them theyre special way too much and whom could do with a few strong doses of man-medicine aka being punched in the face and their big fat mouths hard enough to turn the filter button on whom i see on here would do or feel when they're being rude and dickish behind a keyboard.
Just a note for future flyers: many waterfalls in Iceland (including some in this video) have restrictions for no drones. This is because of many unskilled people crashing and not every tourist appreciates drones zipping around. Have fun, but just be aware and considerate out there!!
The crash scenes showcase the trampling of Iceland’s beautiful nature to recover his aircraft. I welcome the ban if that helps keeping people on the tracks.
Well of it weren’t for people who fly this close to nature how’d the rest of us see it ? What natgeo or discovery did a decade ago we have access as fpv pilots today and that’s a proud sign of moving with the times:
yea the bureaucrats let loaded guns in the National parks in USA but ban my drones, I stopped listening to these jerk after that. These types of bans are designed to catch the unskilled and deter them, If you crash they got you if you dont they will likely never find you with the range on these drones. The barrier to entry has become so low it was only a matter of time the before the law decided to stop idiots. I get NAS safety and flying around aircraft should be avoided but the bureaucrats that think they can just ban anything from plastic straws to smoking are gonna get ignored.
I started FPV this moth with the iFlight Protek R25. I really enjoy the hobby and the nice community around it! Thanks to guys like you, the entry barrier is pretty low because of the very helpful videos. I am looking forward to get a better Drone in the future and diving deep in the FPV hobby! Thanks for videos like this!🤗
Gotta say, this FPV drone stuff reminds me of certain parts of the old Myst games. Specifically, the special Books you could use to travel between worlds, which those games used as a core mechanic. Each book would have an image panel, of sorts, at the front of the book, but the "image" would actually be a moving video of the place you would be taken to if you used it. The format of those little video clips would usually be a long run-up to the general area around the arrival point, followed by 3-5 seconds of circular touring around the location, spiraling in towards the final destination, until at last the camera's POV would settle into a simple orbit around the arrival point, after which it would continue looping that final orbit section, until you either used the book, or closed it.
Wow... Thanks for this superb video ... I'll keep my story as brief as possible: I'm in Canada, and flew my first drone last year: the DJI Mini 2, and loved it... but I was not happy discovering what was sold to me was actually an 'open box' from the retailer (for $700, full retail price - Fly More combo). So for a few hundred $$ more I traded it in for a Mini 3 Pro, Fly More Plus Combo, and absolutely ADORED that one - for one whole day, as the remote proved to be defective (left stick pushed in too easily, and I was stuck with a 'remote calibration error')... sooo.. no replacement even at the retailer, so a couple hundred MORE $$, I wound up with the DJI Mavic Air 2S. Although it had the best camera, it was a bit too large and loud for my liking (and the Mini 3 Pro took much better evening and low-light shots) ... good thing I got the DJI Care Plus, I crashed it soon after I got it, but I believe the gimbal was faulty (constant gimbal errors since the first week). So up till just yesterday, I still had one more replacement before August. While attempting to have it track my vehicle on a journey home down a quiet road, it mis-tracked and hit a tree on its side - and fell in to rather deep water, just off the road in a swamp. I'd sure like it back, I'll try to find it again today, but I'm an older guy at almost 60, not in that good of shape physically, and kids in their 20's that are staying at my gf's house are brutally lazy even after I offer $50 to have them find it, refuse to get their feet wet in a swamp... so my odds are not good at recovering it, and I can't afford the fly-away replacement cost right now. But I DO get more work in the summertime, and was planning and getting a Mini 3 Pro variant once again - OR an Avata combo. You sir, seem to be very honest and knowledgeable in areas of cinewhoop and FPV, and thanks to this I believe I'm gonna take a much better, more efficient road on my journey of remote aircraft flying. This in itself a great beginner information hub for me, and can't thank you enough!
The explorer is still my favorite been flying it for 3 or 4 years. I love how stealth it is. It’s super quiet with tri blades. I’ve had plenty of racers too but there’s just something I really like about low slower controlled flying. You get to see more detail in the environment when you’re not blasting at 100mph which is also fun lol.
DUDE! great video. And thanks for dubbing into English, at first I though the sound was out of sync, but now I realize you're providing this video in English and Russian, That's very cool of you.
For stage 1 fail safe you need to set it to angle mode and set throttle 1250... Otherwise your drone just falls out of the sky until GPS Rescue engages.
Also random point, I tested the BN-220 GPS back to back against the iFlight GPS (which is 3X the price) and the BN-220 GPS performed better every time. There's no need to buy the GPS from either iFlight or GEPRC, the Beitian BN-220 works flawlessly.
Editor note: Audio and video for VO is not synced. I think the video is a couple frames behind the audio Other than that, incredible video that is selling me on getting FPV as my next investment.
I picked up the Avata a few months ago. What do you suggest for my next drone with O3 unit? I want something quieter. I still crash a lot so I'm thinking I need prop guards.
Hey bro, this video is a great resource. It's something I wish was available 2 years back when I started flying. Ive lost 2x DJI fpv's as well and you're absolutely correct on them. This video was very helpful!!
Thank you so much for this video! I bought my first drone this year - DJI Mini 3 Pro and I've been having so much fun! I really want to get into FPV drones and this video has given me some great pointers!
AOS is pretty up there with the mark5. Completely agree with cinebot, cinelog, chimera, and explorer. Great picks. For the dji o3, keep in mind your esc pwm frequency has to be at 48 or higher if you want good gyro.
@@angel-angel-angel-angel-angel Been amazing. flying FPV about every other day now. Today I have a full day of flying. Still flying the Geprc line from 2" to 3.6"
Protip: if you want to sync audio better, before shooting your frame, clap your hands, or snap your fingers. In editing, sync up the audio to the clap of your hands Should help with desync of audio.
I am very happy with my DJI Avata, i had no idea about fpv and in my area there is noone to ask about this topic, after the first flights with the motion Control i found out there is an acro mode, i checked the rc2 an it costs me all together €980,- (Professional set costs much more) now i am addict, sure the next one is a more pro copter but i ve never started this journey without the DJI Avata!
i live in Bali, Denpasar exactly. Your video is sooo inspiring! i'll begin my first project to shoot big statues in every intersection around the city secretly with my mini 3 pro and insta360 sphere
Best video for beginner FPV!! I've watched this a couple of times and have learned a lot from you. Smashing the sims now with my first drone (GEPRC Cinebot30 on order). Keep up the great work!
Your life looks like a dream brotha. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford getting one of those. I remember when I was a child I used to daydream about what it must be like to fly. Those were simpler times but its beautiful to see technology has allowed at least some of us to enjoy this as a reality.
Great video, but I think it’s important to mention that a drone with gps position hold is absolutely necessary for beginners. Most open source FPV drones don’t have that.
@@mitchlewis535you will not use that. Manual mode only. Gps is for safety when the signal is lost (wision or radio). Whoops dont have that. You need ports uart on drone FC and enough power and a m10 gps and good setup in betaflight 4.4
Question: which camera is better, the a GoPro10 or 11 or the one on the DJI Air 2S? I'm reading the specs and it seems the Air2S is better, no? Larger sensor and such?
Thank you for this video, im just starting FPV flying. i'm going to use your FPV kit. how long can i fly with one battery? i have bought 4 batterys for now
bro, thats a great video. I already got into fpv last year, but broo, this video is so different from all the others. good job. also, you could at least mention flying analog as an option aswell for the people with lower budget. you can get used to it quickly and then its an incredible expiroence aswell!
I'm out of FPV and RC in general for like 5 years now, decided to get back to it, a lot of exciting new hardware and technology out there, unfortunately due to silicon shortages a lot fo stuff is out of stock (a lot of lipo batteries as well for some reason). I bought FPV goggles v2, jumper t-pro v2 transmitter, geprc cinelog 30 and some ISDT chargers. Goggles and chargers are with me, transmitter on the way from china (was out of stock everywhere locally) and drone itself unfortunately is on preorder from china (out of stock everywhere locally as well) apparently should ship out in few days but still like 2 weeks for delivery.
I am plan to buy my first drone on Black Friday, I appreciate it for all the information you’ve provided, but besides the profession, can you also talk about the cost-effectiveness, thank you
Great intro to FPV 👍 I've been trying to get into this hobby for years, and keep starting and stopping because I'm intimidated by the steep learning curve. I just need to get on with it - it looks like so much fun!
I've heard that the GEPRC drones are for the intermediate to expert when it comes to flying. You also need to learn which system within the drone is right for you. Also, you need to acquire a radio, goggles as well as batteries. On the plus side, you will learn a lot just by doing your own research. Nothing wrong with the Avata as that is perfect for beginners to learn the basics of flying FPV and also build confidence. The good thing about the Avata is the built quality and the battery life is a bit better compared to other Cinewhoop drones. There are many videos out there not recommending the Avata because it's too slow (not really), too loud (change the props). These are usually folks that have many hours with advanced FPV drones. But, I recommend that you get back into it.
@@man.fromearth because it's uncanny and makes it difficult for your viewers to draw a human connection to you, which is important for viewership interest. Just add subtitles if you feel like your english pronunciation isn't good enough, or use B-roll during the talking segments to avoid the horrible lip sync effect if you want to continue using someone else's voice
I wonder if it’s possible to have a robotic drone that works as a signal relay, that uses triangulation to keep itself in-between the drone you’re controlling and the controller, and at a higher altitude, so that you can have a greater effective range, and avoid geographic signal barriers, like the ridge on that island or the mountains around the glacier.
One of the open source video link systems has this sort of feature. So adding a link is possible but the extra step adds latency. The added latency would make flying close to things more risky. The latency could also cause a headache.
@@ddegn guess the idea would be useful for people doing documentary or exploratory work, with drones laden with sensors, but perhaps not quite as useful for people doing acrobatic stuff near the surface, lol
Hey - I love what you’re doing. Thank you. Question - why would somebody pick a 4S over a 6S for your typical outdoor freestyle drone like the Mark five you recommend. Do you get a significantly longer run time?
From my experience 4s batteries are lighter so you generally get better agility and the drone is quieter. 6s batteries give you more power and more flight time.
@@redcobra1246 I'm pretty sure 4S packs aren't necessarily lighter than 6S for the same Watt Hour capacity. By using the appropriate kV motors, the rpm (and noise) of the props can be identical between a 4S and 6S quad. Higher voltages almost always makes any motor system more efficient. Higher voltages allows power to be delivered with fewer amps. Wires can be thinner in a higher voltage system than with a system with lower voltages. Professional camera drones often use 12S systems. The main downside to high voltage systems is the cost. High voltage ESCs cost more than ESCs used for lower voltage systems. The motors for high voltage systems also cost more than similar motors for low voltage systems. If you can get electronics to handle it, you're almost always better off going for higher voltage. Another (claimed) big plus for the high cell count quads is the reduced voltage sag when the throttle is slammed. I've heard this claim many times, but I'm not a good enough pilot to really know how much this matters. One downside for high voltage systems is the nasty spark you get when plugging in (and unplugging) a battery. There are ways around this spark but it's something to keep in mind.
Great video! Super informative! I'm looking for an upgrade to my Avata. Will the Cinebot 30 work with my DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 that I already have until I can save up a few bucks and replace it with a TBS Tango 2? Also curious how hard it would be to add a TBS Crossfire receiver later if I swap everything over to the Tango 2 controller? Just trying to take some baby steps towards getting more serious drones and the Cinebot 30 + a GoPro mini looks like a great next step up from my Avata! Thanks again for breaking this down so well for a noob like me :)
The controller 2 works if you choose the o3 "pnp" unit (no additional receiver). To use elrs or tbs you'd have to solder a receiver to the flight controller, then in betaflight enable the "serial rx" on the port you soldered it to, in the receiver tab choose "serial" and "crsf", and then setup the channels in the "modes" tab.
@Darwin Allen I forgot to mention, with elrs you have to flash the receiver as well. I do it through wifi. I'm not familiar with how it's done with tbs. Yeah it's a pain the first couple of times. Once you're familiar with it it really takes less than 5 min (except the soldering). If you buy a bnf you're better off buying it straight with the receiver
@@redcobra1246 thanks for the advice. And yeah it's looking like I'll just spend the extra few hundred on a new radio and get the receiver factory installed. I know how to solder but if I can avoid it I do. I think I'll start a separate quad as a build from scratch project.
I have the DJI FPV but have not flown it. I am returning it. I came here looking what to buy instead. I don't know what you did with the audio on this video, but I like it.
Hey guys, i was in the end little bit confused, i just want to start and im not sure which one buy for outdoor, it was too much information, rlly thanks for help!!
That moment when you purchased the DJI FPV combi and feel that you bought some old crap when looking at this video. Well, at least it gets me into FPV. Although I’ve to be very careful flying manually.
Good points about DJI FPV. One more thing, you won’t be able to fly it wherever you want and need to send request to china to unlock geo-area. Yes, even if you fly in Argentina, you still need to send paperwork to private Chinese company to fly your own drone you paid thousand dollars. And they might decline it. Moreover, in US now you can’t even fly it at all unless you connect a smartphone with GPS to goggles. This is ridiculous.
Long time now since I've been dreaming of having and flying an FPV drone. I just can't get enough money to afford one (yup, salary here is so trash). Learned a lot here. Thanks!
Nice video i feel i am on the same journey started with DJI mini, DJI FPV, DJI Avata and just added flywoo LR Explorer and this drone is so quiet. Love FPV best feeling in the world!
The solution I used for the nose pinching problem, I literally just ripped out the nose guard part of the foam as it isn't attached to any plastic at that area, now I can breath with no sacrifice to comfort or light leak.
That's brilliant! I wish I had removed the foam instead of removing my nose. The goggles fit much better after removing my nose but the horrified looks I get from others makes me wish I had removed the foam like you. (Apparently I'm in a strange mood.)

your shots are amazing !
Thanks
Protip: if you want to sync audio better, before shooting your frame, clap your hands, or snap your fingers.
In editing, sync up the audio to the clap of your hands
Should help with desync of audio.
I agree. The Cinebot30 O3 has been marvellous for me. 😄😄😄
Yes so cool drone
I actually love the voice sync! Such a good video!
I am very happy with my DJI Avata, i had no idea about fpv and in my area there is noone to ask about this topic, after the first flights with the motion Control i found out there is an acro mode, i checked the rc2 an it costs me all together €980,- (Professional set costs much more) now i am addict, sure the next one is a more pro copter but i ve never started this journey without the DJI Avata!
i live in Bali, Denpasar exactly. Your video is sooo inspiring! i'll begin my first project to shoot big statues in every intersection around the city secretly with my mini 3 pro and insta360 sphere
The exact video I was looking for before getting into FPV drones. Cheers mate! Looks like a fun hobby can't wait to give it a go!
You get a drone yet?
This is the most unbiased review I have seen on drones. This guy knows his shii
Best video for beginner FPV!! I've watched this a couple of times and have learned a lot from you. Smashing the sims now with my first drone (GEPRC Cinebot30 on order). Keep up the great work!
Thanks bro. Have fan flights.
Am thinking of the same one based on this video. What are all the accessories you need/bought?
Your life looks like a dream brotha. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford getting one of those. I remember when I was a child I used to daydream about what it must be like to fly. Those were simpler times but its beautiful to see technology has allowed at least some of us to enjoy this as a reality.
Great content and editing but something very uncanny going on with the audio track not emotionally matching the footage.
한국도 배송되는 것 같아서 다행이네요.
The problem in the USA is the restriction for use, and the list of prohibited areas is endless. All scenic landmarks are off-limits.
yeah it sucks that National Parks are no Fly Zones.
Thanks for the very informative video! I am brand new to flying drones and this help me alot.
Keep up the great work champ!
Great video, but I think it’s important to mention that a drone with gps position hold is absolutely necessary for beginners. Most open source FPV drones don’t have that.
Hi Mike, what options do you recommend to a newbie FPV pilot who already flies gps drones?
Both of the Cetus beginner drones he recommends have altitude/position hold.
@@mitchlewis535you will not use that. Manual mode only. Gps is for safety when the signal is lost (wision or radio). Whoops dont have that. You need ports uart on drone FC and enough power and a m10 gps and good setup in betaflight 4.4
Question: which camera is better, the a GoPro10 or 11 or the one on the DJI Air 2S? I'm reading the specs and it seems the Air2S is better, no? Larger sensor and such?
gopro 11 the best for fpv
Thank you for this video, im just starting FPV flying. i'm going to use your FPV kit.
how long can i fly with one battery? i have bought 4 batterys for now
Iceland is just a huge Drone Playground love those glaciers.
bro, thats a great video. I already got into fpv last year, but broo, this video is so different from all the others. good job. also, you could at least mention flying analog as an option aswell for the people with lower budget. you can get used to it quickly and then its an incredible expiroence aswell!
ngl the low budget is still way above the average persons
Wooow, this was one of the best videos I saw.
Is it just me or is the voice not matching up with the video? Kind of like everything was dubbed over
not his original language
It was voice recorded indoors to eliminate any background sounds
I'm out of FPV and RC in general for like 5 years now, decided to get back to it, a lot of exciting new hardware and technology out there, unfortunately due to silicon shortages a lot fo stuff is out of stock (a lot of lipo batteries as well for some reason).
I bought FPV goggles v2, jumper t-pro v2 transmitter, geprc cinelog 30 and some ISDT chargers.
Goggles and chargers are with me, transmitter on the way from china (was out of stock everywhere locally) and drone itself unfortunately is on preorder from china (out of stock everywhere locally as well) apparently should ship out in few days but still like 2 weeks for delivery.
I just bought myself a dji fpv controller 2 and I'm starting to practice on the simulator. I cant wait to purchase my first drone and start flying...
So cool bro, what drone do you think to buy?
I am plan to buy my first drone on Black Friday, I appreciate it for all the information you’ve provided, but besides the profession, can you also talk about the cost-effectiveness, thank you
Great intro to FPV 👍 I've been trying to get into this hobby for years, and keep starting and stopping because I'm intimidated by the steep learning curve. I just need to get on with it - it looks like so much fun!
You can do it!
I’m good. At. Drone
I've heard that the GEPRC drones are for the intermediate to expert when it comes to flying. You also need to learn which system within the drone is right for you. Also, you need to acquire a radio, goggles as well as batteries. On the plus side, you will learn a lot just by doing your own research. Nothing wrong with the Avata as that is perfect for beginners to learn the basics of flying FPV and also build confidence. The good thing about the Avata is the built quality and the battery life is a bit better compared to other Cinewhoop drones. There are many videos out there not recommending the Avata because it's too slow (not really), too loud (change the props). These are usually folks that have many hours with advanced FPV drones. But, I recommend that you get back into it.
I have the same issue bro...😢
😂😂😂
I think I am most impressed with your lifestyle and your home. However your video is one of the best on RUclips. Great job!
love your vid quick question: how many lipos do you carry per shoot? i usually carry 4 but it seems too little
Nice video, but please don't do the voiceover on clips of you talking anymore 🤣
Why?
@@man.fromearth because it's uncanny and makes it difficult for your viewers to draw a human connection to you, which is important for viewership interest. Just add subtitles if you feel like your english pronunciation isn't good enough, or use B-roll during the talking segments to avoid the horrible lip sync effect if you want to continue using someone else's voice
@aflexe Thx I'm not the only one. The voice over really was confusing and missdirecting.
I don’t mind the voiceover. If it helps you make content easier you should keep doing it. The videos are good!
I've had betafpv cetus pro for about a week now. I'm glad I'm starting right! Loving it and taking notes on what could come next! Great video
I wonder if it’s possible to have a robotic drone that works as a signal relay, that uses triangulation to keep itself in-between the drone you’re controlling and the controller, and at a higher altitude, so that you can have a greater effective range, and avoid geographic signal barriers, like the ridge on that island or the mountains around the glacier.
This is awesome
I wish all RUclips comments were like this
@@bootyblaster3009 you want to attach a dji signal relay to a drone? Well i think they have done it for agri line of products hehe
One of the open source video link systems has this sort of feature. So adding a link is possible but the extra step adds latency. The added latency would make flying close to things more risky. The latency could also cause a headache.
@@ddegn guess the idea would be useful for people doing documentary or exploratory work, with drones laden with sensors, but perhaps not quite as useful for people doing acrobatic stuff near the surface, lol
you could write on the video for each drone brand and type when you introduce them because we have to guess like which one is after the dji avata?
is it me or is the audio out of sync...?
it is you
@@DoubleRainbowXT just watched it on my phone it's at least 50-100ms out of sync
bc it is a translated vid
I have the same.
It’s a dubbed video
FPV makes you feel the rush!
Круто!
Good job and great explanation on the difference between DJI and other brands.
Keep the good videos coming!
I pre order the TBS Tango 2.When is the drop of the Controller ?
outdated vid. hate when youtubers just keep changing the year "2025" instead of actually updating the content.
Can I go long range by using geprc cinebot30? Please reply 🙏😭
Hey - I love what you’re doing. Thank you. Question - why would somebody pick a 4S over a 6S for your typical outdoor freestyle drone like the Mark five you recommend. Do you get a significantly longer run time?
my question also, i want to know if he prefers 4s over 6s
From my experience 4s batteries are lighter so you generally get better agility and the drone is quieter. 6s batteries give you more power and more flight time.
@@redcobra1246 I'm pretty sure 4S packs aren't necessarily lighter than 6S for the same Watt Hour capacity. By using the appropriate kV motors, the rpm (and noise) of the props can be identical between a 4S and 6S quad. Higher voltages almost always makes any motor system more efficient. Higher voltages allows power to be delivered with fewer amps. Wires can be thinner in a higher voltage system than with a system with lower voltages. Professional camera drones often use 12S systems. The main downside to high voltage systems is the cost. High voltage ESCs cost more than ESCs used for lower voltage systems. The motors for high voltage systems also cost more than similar motors for low voltage systems. If you can get electronics to handle it, you're almost always better off going for higher voltage.
Another (claimed) big plus for the high cell count quads is the reduced voltage sag when the throttle is slammed. I've heard this claim many times, but I'm not a good enough pilot to really know how much this matters.
One downside for high voltage systems is the nasty spark you get when plugging in (and unplugging) a battery. There are ways around this spark but it's something to keep in mind.
@ddegn I meant to say they're more zippy. For a standard fpv drone of 800-1200mah 4s tend to be lighter than 6s. 6s has more power but it's bulkier
This is a great beginner video, I really want to get into FPV now!
Great video! Super informative! I'm looking for an upgrade to my Avata. Will the Cinebot 30 work with my DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 that I already have until I can save up a few bucks and replace it with a TBS Tango 2? Also curious how hard it would be to add a TBS Crossfire receiver later if I swap everything over to the Tango 2 controller? Just trying to take some baby steps towards getting more serious drones and the Cinebot 30 + a GoPro mini looks like a great next step up from my Avata! Thanks again for breaking this down so well for a noob like me :)
The controller 2 works if you choose the o3 "pnp" unit (no additional receiver). To use elrs or tbs you'd have to solder a receiver to the flight controller, then in betaflight enable the "serial rx" on the port you soldered it to, in the receiver tab choose "serial" and "crsf", and then setup the channels in the "modes" tab.
@@redcobra1246 thanks man. Sounds like a bit of a hassle, but doable. Good to know!
@Darwin Allen I forgot to mention, with elrs you have to flash the receiver as well. I do it through wifi. I'm not familiar with how it's done with tbs.
Yeah it's a pain the first couple of times. Once you're familiar with it it really takes less than 5 min (except the soldering). If you buy a bnf you're better off buying it straight with the receiver
@@redcobra1246 thanks for the advice. And yeah it's looking like I'll just spend the extra few hundred on a new radio and get the receiver factory installed. I know how to solder but if I can avoid it I do. I think I'll start a separate quad as a build from scratch project.
I have the DJI FPV but have not flown it. I am returning it. I came here looking what to buy instead. I don't know what you did with the audio on this video, but I like it.
Great video!
Wish you would post full flight videos. Would love to watch them
Working on it!
Hey guys, i was in the end little bit confused, i just want to start and im not sure which one buy for outdoor, it was too much information, rlly thanks for help!!
Outdoor best one 5 inch drone as I recommend GepRC Mark 5 DJI O3 with TBS Tango 2 controller and DJI goggles 2
@@man.fromearth thanks man, im now in Canada hopefully will find shop
@@man.fromearth and this option isnt in the shop what you recommended, or its TBS nano RX
Excelente vídeo, tirou todas as minhas dúvidas referente ao óculos goggles 2 e o RC Dji juntos aos FPV. OBRIGADO! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Opa 🇧🇷👋
That moment when you purchased the DJI FPV combi and feel that you bought some old crap when looking at this video.
Well, at least it gets me into FPV. Although I’ve to be very careful flying manually.
why do you overdub?
I've been waiting for this video !!
I really hate how you pretend to be speaking something, but the audio obviously is prerecorded. It makes a really unpleasant feeling.
I'm pretty sure it's because he doesn't speak english
It's really not that bad
Yea it’s not that bad
@@bede9099He's from the United States
You’ll survive
Thanks for making this video, nice information
Love your video but WTF is wrong with your audio😂 can’t concentrate on what you are talking about
best video ive watched ages.. I need to get moving as I have all the kit but haven't learnt to fly
Bruv, just speak to the camera directly rather than having these choppy lip syncs. It will be better.
it's a dub over, I'm pretty sure he's originally from Ukraine
A question for the drone pros, what should I use as a beginner with a low budget
Whats with the cloned voice
He was once with the empire
This is the best video on getting started. Thanks.
Good points about DJI FPV. One more thing, you won’t be able to fly it wherever you want and need to send request to china to unlock geo-area. Yes, even if you fly in Argentina, you still need to send paperwork to private Chinese company to fly your own drone you paid thousand dollars. And they might decline it. Moreover, in US now you can’t even fly it at all unless you connect a smartphone with GPS to goggles. This is ridiculous.
Long time now since I've been dreaming of having and flying an FPV drone. I just can't get enough money to afford one (yup, salary here is so trash).
Learned a lot here. Thanks!
Nice video i feel i am on the same journey started with DJI mini, DJI FPV, DJI Avata and just added flywoo LR Explorer and this drone is so quiet. Love FPV best feeling in the world!
The drone shots are spectacular.
Breathtaking videos!
The solution I used for the nose pinching problem,
I literally just ripped out the nose guard part of the foam as it isn't attached to any plastic at that area, now I can breath with no sacrifice to comfort or light leak.
That's brilliant! I wish I had removed the foam instead of removing my nose. The goggles fit much better after removing my nose but the horrified looks I get from others makes me wish I had removed the foam like you.
(Apparently I'm in a strange mood.)
Another question. Why do you prefer the 4s rather than 6s version of the cinebot30? Thanks
The shots are super nice
Thanks for giving more cons about using DJI, all anyone else says is it’s great
Fun to see Tonsai from above. Love that little world
I loved your video presentation with the best music.
Great video! Appreciate the dubbing as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super helpful, thanks! I'm looking at FPV options to expand my shooting options and this has some great information
Absolutely gorgeous shots.
You are a true professional.🤘🤘

Which is the best choice to choose a drone from this list ?
What goggles and controller do I use with the Mark5 without the DJI box? Thanks! And can I use a GoPro hero 12 with the Mark5?
Thank you for your effort making this in English
