I am new to the hobby, 1 year in, built 5 quads, (4) Martian 2’s with betaflight, now Butterflight, and after watching your RUclips videos, thought I would spend the money and build an alien with all your older set kiss hardware, 24amp esc’s, kiss v1 flight control, Steele pdb, hs177, and used your previously posted pods, and idle up settings, and it flys literally 2 to 3 times better then any of the martians! I cannot believe the difference! I felt instantly more comfortable piloting it, able to control the quad way more accurately, I’m a little nervous to get too adventurous with some new moves only because I don’t want to damage this quad in a rookie crash. Thank you sooo much for all the alien videos!!!
Glad your posting again. I laid my BMX bike down after 19 years and was depressed for 2 years until I stumbled upon a video of yours a year and half ago. Now it's my life!!!! Thank You!
I find it odd that your story is the exact same as mine. I used to ride a custom PremiumBikes Deathtrap. Then I clicked some Steele video because it wouldnt get out of my recommended. Thank you RUclips and Steele!
UFDA Crew it is such a fun hobby. I’ve been addicted to it since buying a cheap camera drone that I would fly around trees and stuff like I was racing. I didn’t even know about racing/freestyle fpv drones until I found some of his videos and others and I thought that’s what I want. Cheers.
Steele I am sorry. I recently made a semi-negative comment about this video. I said it seemed like this was a chore for you and not something you wanted to do. I am sorry for this and just want you to know I appreciate all you do and your positive impact on the community. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos which impact us all. Thank you!!
Thanks for taking the time to make a video that may seem lame/dull to a pro like you lol it's a huge help for noobs like me to get field ready for the mountains. This video gave me the idea to use a tactical style hiking pack. Literally thousands of styles online and the mollie loop/straps are always useful
I try to reduce setup time as much as possible . goggle battery and lanyard together in an outside pocket(I run a long cable to the goggle from my pocket for now) TXand goggle cases not zipped shut, goggle antennas stay on or are loose and tilted down, and and i sometimes do "one in the chamber." first battery on the quad already. (looks like you had one ready.) And come to Ms :)
Appreciate the topic. Its good to know about the redundancy. Expect a mistake or a problem and already have it covered. The field fix and the soldering iron is some serious good stuff to share. Subd a s well. I ve been flying a tiny fpv whoop indoors for last month. Have two quick drones real stuff to take out flying soon once I get Betafligh , pids and Taranis x9d figured out. Cant wait to go acro.
A look into a seasoned professional's money maker! Thanks Steele! You diving a building in a car got me in! TBS sent me new c-clips and I finished my tune! My silk v1's are so powerful but smooth! I love my qwad! ...oh and I'm glad you didn't show us what bag you keep your skills in!! RIIIPPPP!!
Thanks a lot Steele! That was a great update on your gear and it is very helpful to me as I like to have reliable stuff and I just follow you as I completely trust you and your technical knowledge. Big thumbs UP! 👍
I’m just getting into building drones. Watched a lot of videos and have read several things online as well. Hope your custom Taranis is back in stock soon. If not, I’ll buy a stock taranis and mod it myself. That will be my first purchase as I dive into all this stuff. I’ll be downloading some simulators to start the journey. Thanks for all your knowledge, as it is priceless. Truly awesome. Hopefully I’ll be able to enter some competitions in a year or two. Have a good week and cheers! 🍻
I really like your stuff... I'm interacting with you. Also of note, I like the new outro - Matches your very unintentionally Italian mustache much better.
I have a same bag. As you say it is a really good bag. Many pockets and great for FPV gears. Also I use Tupperware boxes. It’s good to contains many different thing in good shape.
Steele of all of the gear you have shown from your flight bag, the earphone is something that i really want to buy please keep us informed on when they will be available keep on rippin thanks
Mr Steele, what kind of microphone do you use on the quad? I'm trying to decide on a VTX for a 550 hex and I want audio on board. Should I go with a VTX with a built in mic or add a mic to a VTX without one? Thanks for all of the work that you do.
Sweet bad bro I like your idea I’ve been using my old army rucksack for the last year and it holds everything nice and tight pretty badass I do a lot of hiking myself to find sweet spot to fly. I’m a huge fan of you and the ethics brand I love the steel motors that’s all I ever fly keep putting out new stuff and refining this hobby.
I understand that the antenna doesn't work well with water but what I don't understand is what will it do to a watermellon? Can you please make a video on this topic I'm very curious.
SurReal FPV jk. In the past he used to be into the green and pink props setup and it looked like a watermelon. He did it as a joke as well but it stuck. And as u probably know... watermelons have a lot of water.
Elvin Saucedo Lol yea ive been watching for about 2 years not long after I started he was one of the first channels that came up other then painless 360 that taught you everything at that point lol. I was joking bc that's there new thing on there podcast for the last 3 or 4 episodes lol.
Now we're talking !! Thanx man. I was just thinking the other day " I wonder what this guy packs up for an fpv adventure ? ". I've tried and didn't bring enough of what i actually needed. So this is very helpful. :-)
Hey Steele! I just found out that you need to trim 7.5mm from Crossfire micro antennas with the black heat shrink to tune properly for 915MHz. I think that's likely been the cause of some reception issues. If you have white heat shrink no mod needed :)
Where can i get the hd v2s at? ..getting my mr. Steel radio on friday...cant wait...its my first time , so imma start with tge radio then the goggles and then i get the quad...or im i doing it backwards.
Did you tried flysky transmitters for acro ? Some of them should have little less latency compared to taranis, I think that someon like you could tell the diference
Great video filled with fantastic info! I'd like to try the extended ION at my goggles but the link you have above is broken. Do you know where else I might find this product? Thanks again-
Love you Steele 😀... I just got into flying quads... has a pretty bad crash that ended up toasting my Naze32... I bought a new one but can't get my spectrum sat to bind again ugh... but keep up the good work man!
Thanks bro for the setup video, I'm going to try kiss out for my next build I'm newbie to kiss so I'm kinda itching to find out the diffrence to betaflight. And that mini solder iron! Must have I'm looking on amazon as soon as I'm done with this. I've been in situations where I needed just that. Thanks
Whats up man I just started my journey with learning how to fly acro. Man I really wish one day I can fly with you one day. You are amazing. and truly my drone hero. Man I want to fly just like you
I'm new to the Drone Game. My first one I bought that was good was from Toys r us. Sharper Image dx4. It's nice to start with for me. Now I want better models. Came across your channel and you have very nice builds. Learning from your videos. What or how should I start with my builds?
I figured it out guys. I bought the same backpack. The provisions are built in! Super happy with this style bag. I went ahead an added a strap across the quad just for extra support.
I lost my tile in a crash, but flew the quad back. never found that tile, might have broke from impact damage. I've had it connect from 100 feet or more, but ymmv. If anyone finds a tile Named Big D, it's mine!
The downside of the BC-8S is that it doesn’t give percentage readings. I’m used to percentage so I stick with the Cellmeter-7. It gives instant cellreadings ;-)
Let me interact.... May seem dumb but why no ISDT feild charger or like charger? I am more of a race guy then freestyle but at races I zip through 20 batteries by 1:00-2:00. Just curious?
Nice kit Steele . What about field charging? Are You fan of small isdt chargers? What about decent power bank & oled isdt battery checker? Works great and it's super fast to check Your lipos. Those pipe caps You can buy on banggood dirt cheap. Good idea with props. I'm running Hobby King elite backpack. Works great for FPV quads and it's Huge + it's strong & virtually weatherproof
I'd love to see you add up all the gear in your bag and put a dollar amount on it. You're seriously carrying thousands of dollars of gear with you, it would put into perspective what a pro pilot has to carry around with him at all times.

Dude. So glad to hear your psyched on something new. This is a great hobby to replace extreme sports. Or coincide lol
I find it odd that your story is the exact same as mine. I used to ride a custom PremiumBikes Deathtrap. Then I clicked some Steele video because it wouldnt get out of my recommended. Thank you RUclips and Steele!

May I ask what happened? I used to bmx also, so just wondering.
Steele I am sorry. I recently made a semi-negative comment about this video. I said it seemed like this was a chore for you and not something you wanted to do. I am sorry for this and just want you to know I appreciate all you do and your positive impact on the community. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos which impact us all. Thank you!!
Love it man Thank you
Mr Steele no...thank you. If you are ever in South Florida hit me up.
What I like about your gear is that you aren't going for the 'latest' gear at all. You run what appeals to you and eff the noise. Solid advice.
thanks Mr. Steele you are one of my favorite pilots out there. I've learnt a lot of things thanks to you, keep it up the good work!
Thank you for the support. I love what I do and I hope it translates in my videos. I love helping people too so it’s a win win
Thanks for taking the time to make a video that may seem lame/dull to a pro like you lol it's a huge help for noobs like me to get field ready for the mountains.

Way cool, Junior! You are so organized! Thanks for the peek...! Looking forward to the van-sportation tour!
Separating the props in different bags is actually a very smart tip!!!
Thank you Steele
Thanks for the bag update. Always good to see what has changed and what old reliables are still in use.
Your channel always be my stress getaway, for good content and good laugh
Through all the years your still here lol rock on Steele still the man that got me hooked but wish you’d never left Rotor Riot
I try to reduce setup time as much as possible . goggle battery and lanyard together in an outside pocket(I run a long cable to the goggle from my pocket for now) TXand goggle cases not zipped shut, goggle antennas stay on or are loose and tilted down, and and i sometimes do "one in the chamber." first battery on the quad already.

RUclips, I like Mr. Steele's stuff! He is the man, so y'all better recognize!
A look into a seasoned professional's money maker! Thanks Steele! You diving a building in a car got me in! TBS sent me new c-clips and I finished my tune! My silk v1's are so powerful but smooth! I love my qwad! ...oh and I'm glad you didn't show us what bag you keep your skills in!! RIIIPPPP!!
Out of everything in your bag, i think the most important item was the Tile tracker. Great video
21:10 the beeper toy synced with the background music 😂😂
Really like what you do dude. You got me into the hobby and led me to buy my first drone parts so thanks :)
I found the edition of this perfect taranis, the best it has in the Flite Test Store
Thanks a lot Steele! That was a great update on your gear and it is very helpful to me as I like to have reliable stuff and I just follow you as I completely trust you and your technical knowledge. Big thumbs UP! 👍
This is a great setup. Thanks for the info, it really helps us new people get ideas for their setups and keep us learning in the air.
Yay a fellow hybrid pinch flyer. Glad to see a new upload from you man.
Always fun seeing other people’s idea setups.
Where can we get that soldering iron ?
I’m just getting into building drones. Watched a lot of videos and have read several things online as well. Hope your custom Taranis is back in stock soon. If not, I’ll buy a stock taranis and mod it myself. That will be my first purchase as I dive into all this stuff. I’ll be downloading some simulators to start the journey.

I like that there’s a link to where you can purchase the same Velcro he uses.... my life is complete
thumbs up for the first jump !
Biggest inspiration! Keep it up, Steele!
Thanks Erick throws it to the side

Nice! I'm ready for the tour, I'd love to be able to do something like that.
Steele of all of the gear you have shown from your flight bag, the earphone is something that
i really want to buy please keep us informed on when they will be available keep on rippin
thanks
I will man. For sure. It’s been driving me crazy we are having so much trouble getting the right thing made
Cant wait to try out the new kit!
I just bought the rtf yesterday
Mr Steele, what kind of microphone do you use on the quad? I'm trying to decide on a VTX for a 550 hex and I want audio on board. Should I go with a VTX with a built in mic or add a mic to a VTX without one? Thanks for all of the work that you do.

1:10 "got a little bit of kush in here"
so dumb xD but very funny hahaha :D
Thats a lot more gear than I originally anticipated
I understand that the antenna doesn't work well with water but what I don't understand is what will it do to a watermellon? Can you please make a video on this topic I'm very curious.
SurReal FPV once u know, your third eye will open and you'll also be woke.
Elvin Saucedo it'll never happen I listened to a lot of third eye blind growing up im damaged for life.
SurReal FPV jk. In the past he used to be into the green and pink props setup and it looked like a watermelon. He did it as a joke as well but it stuck. And as u probably know... watermelons have a lot of water.
Elvin Saucedo Lol yea ive been watching for about 2 years not long after I started he was one of the first channels that came up other then painless 360 that taught you everything at that point lol. I was joking bc that's there new thing on there podcast for the last 3 or 4 episodes lol.
Nice. I’m surprised you don’t keep a couple extra motors and maybe an esc...
That’s why I have a backup quad
Maaaaattteeee!!! Good vid man, looking forward to your van adventures and flying Rando spots across the US!!
i like thay way you keep everything simple , I should stop building and and start flying
Now we're talking !! Thanx man. I was just thinking the other day " I wonder what this guy packs up for an fpv adventure ? ".
I've tried and didn't bring enough of what i actually needed. So this is very helpful. :-)
Thanks for share your gear! what is the last item in the video?
Hey Steele! I just found out that you need to trim 7.5mm from Crossfire micro antennas with the black heat shrink to tune properly for 915MHz. I think that's likely been the cause of some reception issues. If you have white heat shrink no mod needed :)
I’ve heard this. Tried it on one quad the others are stock. Haven’t noticed a difference
Cool. Thanks for showing us your stuff, Steele!
I want to see the van again
Where can i get the hd v2s at? ..getting my mr. Steel radio on friday...cant wait...its my first time , so imma start with tge radio then the goggles and then i get the quad...or im i doing it backwards.
Glad ur doing ur own thing now brotato chip! Ur own videos are still killer, love the gear updates
Brotato chip lol
Dude good job. Your a hard worker. Love the setup, I definitely look forward to getting the headphone.
Senior Davis, I'm helping my friend build his first quad. I love the functionality of the Mr.Steele PDM, is it cross compatible with the reverb?
You can make it work but it doesn’t directly bolt in
Did you tried flysky transmitters for acro ? Some of them should have little less latency compared to taranis, I think that someon like you could tell the diference
Great video filled with fantastic info! I'd like to try the extended ION at my goggles but the link you have above is broken. Do you know where else I might find this product? Thanks again-
Oh and please let us know when that new transmitter case/lunchbox comes out! I will pick one up for sure.
Good to catch one of your latest videos
5:12, link to RTF can't find the link. And if it's too the Amazon site that wont help your followers in AUS. Thanks 🇦🇺
Love you Steele 😀... I just got into flying quads... has a pretty bad crash that ended up toasting my Naze32... I bought a new one but can't get my spectrum sat to bind again ugh... but keep up the good work man!
Hey-ya. Another nice video. Thanks for the rundown. Where can one acquire the VAS Ion with the long stem? I cannot find any for sale.
I think it's actually a Mad Mushroom. I was wondering the very same thing.
ah yeah glad to see you back doing vidz on quads. Keep it up pimpin, love what you do
Im just interacting so youtube knows i like your stuff
Thanks bro for the setup video, I'm going to try kiss out for my next build I'm newbie to kiss so I'm kinda itching to find out the diffrence to betaflight. And that mini solder iron! Must have I'm looking on amazon as soon as I'm done with this. I've been in situations where I needed just that. Thanks
I watched your couch dive about 15 times before I went on with the rest of the video.
Hahhhhaha. 🤗
for you American tour you should make stop in slc Utah
How to hold 3000$ worth of toys in a backpack 😄
Bryan FPV hehe
Or just 3 dumb iPhones ;D
I've got more than that in one of my 700 class Helis, thus why I'm finally coming to the dark side. FPV, the cheaper side of RC aviation.
I love watching your videos
+Mr Steele surprised you listed solder that is 60/40 ( aka plumbers sodder). From what the electrical guys say it should always be 63/37
Are you still working on the stick on glass ND filters?
Lol still
Mr Steele still??
Whats up man I just started my journey with learning how to fly acro. Man I really wish one day I can fly with you one day. You are amazing. and truly my drone hero. Man I want to fly just like you
Love this type of video. I wish you did them a little more often just as things change💙💙💙 but its been fun rewatching onder content and reminiscing💙💙💙
I'm new to the Drone Game. My first one I bought that was good was from Toys r us. Sharper Image dx4. It's nice to start with for me. Now I want better models. Came across your channel and you have very nice builds. Learning from your videos. What or how should I start with my builds?
no rpi3 with betaflight for on the go setup? u can vnc to ur phone as display...
Really nice to see your post. Thanks for the gear tips
BACKPACK! I NEEEED THE NAME OF THE BACKPACK!
Silly question: are those just Velcro straps holding the quads to the bag? Are they part of the backpack? Thanks for the great videos!
I'm wondering the same thing.
I figured it out guys. I bought the same backpack. The provisions are built in! Super happy with this style bag. I went ahead an added a strap across the quad just for extra support.
Should i get the runcam swift2
So the real question is what did you find in the bag that you forgot or thought was forever lost? Some change, a tool, a random cool ranch durito?
had some old 2016 vibes in it.
What good is the tile for? I can't find shit with mine unless standing over it. 😊
I lost my tile in a crash, but flew the quad back. never found that tile, might have broke from impact damage. I've had it connect from 100 feet or more, but ymmv. If anyone finds a tile Named Big D, it's mine!
Have you taken those files and screw drivers on the plane...they dont give you problems?
I also hate waiting for voltage on those cheap reader. Get yourself the ISDT BC-8S battery checker, it’s very fast and can read all the cell at once.
The downside of the BC-8S is that it doesn’t give percentage readings. I’m used to percentage so I stick with the Cellmeter-7.
It gives instant cellreadings ;-)
yes it does! Check the page where you see a batterie icon, the percentage is inside that icon! Thanks me later :)
Always good to know what the pro's are using 👍👍👌
Im going to need that lunch box that your working on to come out soon its getting old just shoving my taranis into my bag and it getting scuffed up.
Flying those pink props is badass. I am Flying those too
Did you modify the VAS receiving antenna to be that extended? The link you posted doesn't work.
Thanks for sharing your stuff.. that answer the question...
How do you make the Mic work on your quad, too transmit to your goggles, ear buds??
Subscribed simply because your flying is awesome!
Hey Mr Steele, I wanted to know your opinion on the GEPRC CINEPRO 4K for a video maker acro drone, I see you always use action cams. Thx!
Man I want go to America tour 2018 and thanks for sharing
thanks for all you share! very helpful
Let me interact.... May seem dumb but why no ISDT feild charger or like charger? I am more of a race guy then freestyle but at races I zip through 20 batteries by 1:00-2:00. Just curious?
I never fly more that 12 packs these days
I rock that same backpack. Works bomb. Nice video
Set in your rocking chair and 'rock that same bag' do ya?
why the link for the fat shark hdv3 instead of the hd v2 are the v2 s not aval anymore
I had a good comment. Then I watched the end scene and my mind was blown.🤯😂
awesome couch dive
Thanks for the update!
Nice kit Steele . What about field charging? Are You fan of small isdt chargers? What about decent power bank & oled isdt battery checker? Works great and it's super fast to check Your lipos. Those pipe caps You can buy on banggood dirt cheap. Good idea with props. I'm running Hobby King elite backpack. Works great for FPV quads and it's Huge + it's strong & virtually weatherproof
I never field charge. I use to just carry 20 lipos with me if I wanted a full day of flying
Hi Mr. Steele I am new to your channel and love it so far but most of the URLs you are linking are broken or doesn't exist
I'd love to see you add up all the gear in your bag and put a dollar amount on it. You're seriously carrying thousands of dollars of gear with you, it would put into perspective what a pro pilot has to carry around with him at all times.
what are you thinking about the emax pagoda antennas?
