I'm excited to see new tech arising this 2021. Heard about releases from Sony and DJI and I'm stoked about what they'll be releasing in the coming weeks/months.
iFlight Mach R5 is a racing FPV that comes highly recommended. It's what I wold have ordered but stock ran out and the Nazgul Evoque F5 came out so I went with that instead. On the flip side, there's also the Five33 Tiny Trainer, which is a tiny racing kwad that was designed to perform like a full size kwad. It was designed by Evan Turner to let him train for races no matter where he was. Unfortunately, it's also sold out.
Thanks for the advice - you did not say anything about the actual FPV gear though.. What is analog vs digital? How much do the models you mentioned cost? How much does all the gear you need to start out add on top of that? Those are the more interesting questions for me as someone who seeks to start out with it ^^
One thing I wish people did in cinewhoop reviews: record cinematic footage with color grading. In every single review in the testing part they just fly around doing freestyle like it was a freestyle drone. These drones are meant for cinematic shots so people watching the review and wanting to buy a cinewhoop are probably not gonna use it for freestyle, but cienmatic shots.

Love your accent. You pronounce things very clearly so it's easy to understand but it's also just different enough that it makes every word sound less boring and keeps my attention. I wish all my teachers had accents so interesting.
at 3:12 you are talking about cinewhoops to learn to fly, but if i ever switch to a DIY drone i would only fly cinewhoops! Flying through small openings is such a thrill!
As a Fpv pilot i say stay away from RTF or Ready to fly. Beginners its a hit or miss that you will get a fully built quad that works perfectly. I speak from experience, when i was starting and got a bad RTF i didnt know how to fix it let alone diagnose what went wrong. Please guys take the time and build your own but go small for starters. They will be easier to build and set up and its a good learning experience.
Thanks for the video! It helped a lot... I don't know much about fpv drones.... I never bought one but I have a DJI mini 2 which super easy to fly that is why now I want to buy an FPV drone with goggles... I like the cinewhoops very much! They are beautiful as well as durable... I don't know much about different transmitters too as I never bought that thing in which you have to buy a seperate controller...

I would say that: 1st simulator, 2nd 5 inch freestyler Simulator is for figuring out your rates. (Low rates vs high rates... how much expo you like and etc) I have five years of experience. Mike, if you look what ammount of money you spend on your gear, then you see, that drone itself costs about 10-25% of all investment. Most is goggles, remote, charger, batteries...
well the first step is sure not a Bumblebee !! First, get the Velocidrone simulator ! and fly for a few hours with whatever controller you have (box, ps or computer gamepad, doesn't;t matter) if after a few hours this is still something you want to do, buy yourself a Proper flight controller (depending on your preference digital or analog) and keep flying with it in the Simulator. then buy a Tinywhoop and fly indoors, as this will teach you the hard way that there is a massive difference still. tinywhoops are cheap as dirt, lots of fun to fly. but pointless outdoors, but the key here is the crashing. and THEN (4 - 6 months in) skip the Bumblebee and get the ProTek or a Flight DC 2/3 depending on what style you are planning to fly on. get LOTS of spare props and guards, and about 5-8 batteries. that way you will save A LOT of money, props, frames, guards, and batteries if that is not something for you. and if it is something you want to do the steps extend each other so you not need to re-purchase things. For an example, if you get the Flight DC2 HD .. you can use the DJI Air Uit later in your own build .. but by buying the ready-to-fly drone first you save yourself the hassle.
I literally have never flown an fpv drone ever outside of a simulation program called Liftoff. I've done nearly a nundred hours in Liftoff and I desperately want to buy a real drone but I have no idea how to begin. This video is nice but doesn't explain buying from literally zero equipment. I buy the drone and the goggles, then what? What controller do I use? How do I set it all up? What spare parts do I need? Batteries? I just get so overwhelmed and in the end just keep playing Liftoff... How can I break the cycle and actually fly for real?
I'm just getting into fpv and my brain is more fried from doing research on this hobby the last 3 months than all the weed I have ever smoked in the past 30 years! There is so much to learn and all the products out there make it very hard to decide on what works best for what you wanna do I definitely don't want to bow down to the faa so sub 250 is the route I wanna take.

I ordered my first drone a few days ago. I am so stoked to dive into this fpv world!! I ordered the novice 2 fly more kit. A little 2.5in mini drone sounds fun to me!! I also am getting the cobra x goggles. I don’t need fancy 500$ goggles as my first pair. And I plan on getting the nasgul5 4s and the radio master tx16 transmitter.
@@jondoe6618 Haha so just six months on and you've got 8 already? 😅 Good stuff. 👍 Well, long as you're not sleeping in a cardboard box and standing on the street corner at night to pay for your expensive new addiction? 😄 Novice 2's still going strong? Any like mods or advice on what to get to upgrade my gear and all after I get that kit? Maybe some better antennas or props or fpv goggles or idk? (Im told the flysky fs-16 radio that comes with it should be pretty good and work with other drones yeah?) Would I be able to buy other types of drones and fly them using the gear (radio etc) from the novice 2 kit without too much hassle, do you know? Would they have to be eachine or? Thanks bro
@@iamshredder3587 i love my novice 2. I do still rip it around my yard. It is a great beginner drone for sure!! The radio is ok. I upgraded goggles and radio. Then I bought a nazgul5 6s. Then I bought 2 more. Then went digital. I bought the fly more kit. I could fly the novice all day. But after getting better and flying a 5in there’s nothing like it!! Really fast and fly a lot better. And carry a GoPro. I never flew in angle mode. I got pretty decent on a sim and always fly in acro. Except my nazgul baby. I fly that inside on angle mode. Best of luck in this awesome rc hobby!! It is awesome!!!!
@@jondoe6618 Ahh well good to know I picked a decent one to start out with at least, cheers bro. I mean I'm not a total noob person. I used to mess around flying 5-inch fpv drones years ago with some mates fairly regularly, and started to get half ok at it by the end. But haven't flown at all since then, cept on a sim... i always mean to get one and get back at it but then..... life, you know? 😏 These rtf fpv packs helped me take the dive though. They didn't have anything like that back then and mostly everyone flew 5-inch analogue drones that they made and set it all up themselves. (My mates did most of that, I just used their gear and flew haha) Didn't even have all these cool mini HD Action cams either..... let alone quality HD digital FPV systems that actually work well. (Way too much lag for fpv still back then) Amazing to see how far it's come in a few short years. Amazing.... but also, frightening too. 😬😬😬 (Believe me, I have my reasons) To be honest I haven't flew these little fpv quads in ages but the last year or two I've (regrettably) had to become rather well acquainted with some various drones/UAV's that are on awhole other level to these! (Though in a way, not all that different) And not for fun! Including being on the wrong end of the camera, and witnessing first-hand just how devastating and terrible a thing they can be, especially in the wrong hands! 😬😬😬😔 (And how very very effective! All too effective! ) And I'm talking relatively small and inexpensive, easily available units that are exported globally (and indiscriminately) by places like China and Turkey.... that even your well-to-do Uncle Joe down the street could probably afford to get his hands on. And it's only going to get more and more so. Anyway sorry bro, I'm ranting haha. Or projecting, or both LOL. But suffice to say much as love flying these fpv's (and even dji type drones to a degree) and appreciate the advancements..... I can't help but be abit wary around it or to recognise the very dark side of this new and game-changing technology also! 😬😔 Ps: I quick checked out that nazgul5 6s and it does seem a pretty sweet rtf. I am looking for a nice 5-inch atm as theyre still the meat and potatoes of fpv flying IMHO. Just wasn't sure what'd be suitable Think I just have to work out if I could fly that with the equipment I have from the nov-2 (or with buying minimal extras) and I'll place an order for it too! Cheers
With computers it's generally accepted for most people to buy their first desktop. However some people want to get into pc building. For those people it's suggested to get a prebuilt, that has plenty of modularity to replace parts with newer ones over time. Are there prebuilt fpv drones like this? I'd like to get into fpv drones, but I also don't want to buy a Dell equivalent if you get what I mean. I don't want to buy something with proprietary parts like DJI (as I'm told) but a prebuilt that's has modular parts that I can upgrade over time. Thoughts?
Very Good Video! Ill try to get my self i Cinewhoop after Christmas time. By now i fly with the Nazgul! I love it :) thanks for all the help with you past videos mate! love your content.
I got extra arms and motors for my 5" and some Stan fpv ducts, then used m30 connectors on the motor wires. I can swap all 4 arms/motors/ducts in 15 minutes, then turn off air mode and lower rates. Done. I have only done a quick maiden with the ducts so far, but it felt smooth enough for me as a non-pro with limited uses for a cinewhoop. Edit: whoops. Just realized this was an older video.
Yeah... no. You don't have to go above $100 on your very first fpv drone. There are beginner kits that come with everything except radio for $79 to $99. Don't buy anything more than that to start, cuz you are going to wreck your first one for sure. And if you wreck a $280 drone your first time out, you will not want to try again. Good video, but there are way more inexpensive options for beginners. After all... that is who the video was aimed towards? Right?
Wait! No one is mentioning the super hot new intro for this Channel? I love it Mike! Great job as always and don't worry about the wrong words you said, it's always happening to me as a French native speaker haha. Have some awesome Holidays!
Hey thanks for the video, I'm about to step into fpv world mainly for cinewhoop style, just wondering if there is overlap on the controllers or other things between use the fpv drones and mini2 (for my photo requirements)?
@@DroneSupremacy I know you have the skills for that and wouldn't be too worried with you flying around it but I meant if I wasn't expecting it and it just showed up. I am a Realtor and have worked with Remax also, thats cool you go to shoot that for them
Any recommendations for sub-250g machines? The Chimera 4 sounds appealing, but I imagine it's over that magic number. Trying to get back into the hobby after a few years, and would rather not have to register if I can help it. Last time I flew the sub-250g market was just starting to get interesting, but HD had only barely become a thing, and wasn't popular yet due to the weight and size of that early equipment.
what would you recommend for a 200 or less fpv drone? I dont want to add a go pro or anything, just wanna strap goggles on and fuck around close to home. thanks man!
Well i'm just getting into the hobby, unfortunately where I live there are not many options available, I was able to get a BetaFPV Cetus kit so i'm starting with that one, so far all the reviews i've seen say it's great for beginners now watching your vid got me to wonder have you ever tested it? if so what are your thoghts on it
Exactly what I wanted to know! Great Timing! But first I want to start with a simulator. In the sim would you start with goggles or without? And would you go for quality stuff right from the start. I was thinking about getting the DJI Remote and Goggles for the sim. But thats already quite expensive.
@Seiishu So if I understood correctly a good way would be to start of with just a good remote in the first place. Than practice and see if I can get the hang. If I am not too bad I would purchase the goggles still at the sim. And then take the final step.
@@pixelundspaetzle If you enjoy it in the sim, and you are sure that it's for you, then you can get the googles whenever you're ready. Like others here have said, they won't help you with the sim, but you will need them to fly actual FPV. If you don't find yourself interested at sim level, then you can always sell your remote. Also, I would definitely recommend a smaller, more decile drone as your first, as it will help you learn real life FPV flying skills, will be much easier to fly, and will be harder to break. I went the DJI route and used the iFlight ALPHA A85 tinywhoop, and even though I also had a 5" drone at the time, I found that it was easier to learn the fundamentals on the small drone, as it didn't feel as daunting and high strung as the bigger one. Just be patient, practice, and most of all have fun.
Can we get the tune your running on the protek 35? I still find a lot of propwash even after a tune! if you couls paste the PIDs and the rates that would be great!
Very Nice write up. If you already have a cinewhoop but want something for cinematic filming with more power for example to chase cars would you choose the Protek 35 or Nazgul 5. Will the Protek 35 go fast enough? Are you still doing the review about the HomFPV micron ;)?
Definitely the Nazgul 5. The Protek is fast but not so much to chase cars :) And yeah - i have some issues with the Micron so i need to wait for some spare parts from HOM. I'll do the review as soon as i can fly it :)
Hey, so I am totally new to the drone game, but want to start directly with fpv. Should I start with a simulator? If so, which simulator can you guys recommend? And which controller should I buy? Thanks for the answers!
My knowledge on your other questions is obsolete, but I very much recommend a simulator. I learned with FPV Freerider Recharged, but there are so many more choices available today. All I can recommend is, yes, start with a simulator to build the basic skills and experiments that you don't want to risk your real drone for.
I want to record snowboard and windsurf videos so I nead a drone that can handel strong wind and cold condisions and It need some reange to. And i want to record some sinamatic shots to wich drone shuld i get.
Quality content Mike, and I completely agree with your opinion on buying your first drone. It makes it easier to learn from, figure out how it's built, learn to repair it, and to experience what a properly tuned drone should actually fly like. I got into FPV just this past summer, and just recently built my first Apex with some quality T-Motor components, basing the build on all the experience that I had acquired since I started flying earlier in the year. BTW, loving that hype, new intro! 😁👍
Thanks a lot - Glad you like the new small additions to the videos :) As for your build - sounds great! I've had a very similar build myself - Apex with Tmotor F4 Stack. Great choice! Happy flying 🙌🏼
I would have to disagree, buying a pre-built would most certainly make it harder to know how it's built, and how to repair etc, if you build it yourself you will have a much better understanding, and there are so many kits and videos available to help these days you don't have to start from scratch, I think a kit with all components already matched up for you and we'll documented instructions/videos are the best starting point
Hey! I just purchased the Sector 5 after a hard decision between this and the Titan XL5. At the moment I’m not sure how I feel about the HGLRC since I had to install an air unit and it felt really harsh. Can I use your help and compare the build with yours? May I chat with you in private. I’d really appreciate that.
Hey I was going to buy an fov drone and already have a transmitter but I have no idea how to know which drones it will be compatible with does anybody know how I would find out ?
got a FPV drone from a company i wont mention, but cant get it to work (fly), can i share what gear i have compiled for that i can hopefully use on one you could recommend?
I'm debating between the hglrc and nazgul5 hd...I only want to cruise and film and follow some faster subjects. When you film with a gopro 7 do you see the prop in frame on both of these?
Is it worth getting into FPV in Amercica? I used to fly planes and helicopters 11 years ago. With this remote ID and all the restrictions coming I fell like giving up before starting.
Hi, what would you reccomend me to buy. I want to start with FPV And I would like to order drone from banggood. I am considering Eachine Wirard x220S the RTF version with controller And Eachine EV800D googles. IT seems fine according to the Price. But I saw also iFlight Nazgul5. Which one Is better, or do you reccomend aby other drone fór 2021? Thanks a lot. I want mostly to try freestyle. So I want a "freestyle drone" I want something that Is a mix power price and has a variety for freestyle
I want to start flying FPV after I've been flying the DJI Phantoms for a couple of years. I find i t hard to know how to buy all the parts needed, such as controllers, goggles, batteries, protocols etc. Really don't understand what all the terms mean and what I need... :/ Thinking of getting the Chimera 4 since main usage will be cinematic filming and the GPS function feels like a good-thing-to-have option.
The Chimera 4 is a good choice but i cannot carry a full-sized GoPro! Keep that in mind, it's meant to fly a naked GoPro (one that you strip down yourself.) So it might not be the ideal 1st FPV quad. Check out the iFlight ProTek35, it's a cinewhoop but it's also quite fast and it can carry a full gopro, i'd say that's perfect for cinematic flying!
@@DroneSupremacy Thanks for your answer! Alright maybe the Protek35 is a better choice or the Nazgul 5? How do I find suitable goggles and controllers, since you don't have to use the most expensive DJI equipment I guess?
@@NismoTNR Really depends if you want to fly Digital or Analog. Check this video for more details, I think it will be helpful: ruclips.net/video/42TuFJ2rdbM/видео.html
Thank God that I'm not into FPV hey! LOL... I'm really just a Mavic Mini fan, and Mini 2 also.. I'm just the Mini guy I guess! Sweet I do really enjoy watching about FPV, just no interest in flying FPV at all.. My Minis probably just do it for me, they're way more than enough... Sweet Keep well and be safe bro!
@@DroneSupremacy I have a vague idea, trust me.. I'm also into 3D helicopters, so I know very well what it means to crash very often and have to repair yourself.. Fixing a crashed 6CH 3D helicopter is not a simple task, but it's so very fun! I get the same amount of fun out of flying my 3D helicopters as I do when I have to build and fix them.. FPV drones are probably also cool to work on, but balancing everything and setting up and configuring everything on a 3D heli is like heaven for me! Although my Mavic Mini has really overtaken my 3D helicopters hobby I still do maintenance on all of them and I do fly them to keep their LiPos healthy.. Sweet PS: with all the huge amounts of cash I spent before on my 3D helis flying a Mini is like heaven hey! 😁 😁🛸🌍🌃🇧🇬
Yep that's correct. You can purchase the DJI FPV Remote or get a 3rd party one, however for that you'll need to install a "receiver" on the drone itself. It's easier to go for the DJI FPV Remote, however the 3rd party controllers are smaller, in many situations more powerful, cheaper and offer more. It's just a personal preference.
Great video. ! I’m having hard time deciding on a digital fpv setup. Budget is around $1600 . Thinking about waiting and checking out the new DJI combo but not sure
Premium analog gear comes at same price as DJI FPV fly more combo ~ 999€(fatshark goggles ~600€, video RX module ~100€, video tx 50€, remote + receiver 100-200€)
Very instructive Video!! Which battery were you getting to push the Chimera 4 flight time to 20min? Did that work? I'm thinking on getting a Chimera 4 or Rekon 4 and trying to get the most flight time. Cheers from New Zealand ! Kia Haha Andy

if after a few hours this is still something you want to do, buy yourself a Proper flight controller (depending on your preference digital or analog) and keep flying with it in the Simulator.
then buy a Tinywhoop and fly indoors, as this will teach you the hard way that there is a massive difference still.
tinywhoops are cheap as dirt, lots of fun to fly. but pointless outdoors, but the key here is the crashing.
and THEN (4 - 6 months in) skip the Bumblebee and get the ProTek or a Flight DC 2/3 depending on what style you are planning to fly on.
get LOTS of spare props and guards, and about 5-8 batteries.
that way you will save A LOT of money, props, frames, guards, and batteries if that is not something for you.

Would I be able to buy other types of drones and fly them using the gear (radio etc) from the novice 2 kit without too much hassle, do you know?
Would they have to be eachine or?
Thanks bro
@@iamshredder3587 i love my novice 2. I do still rip it around my yard. It is a great beginner drone for sure!! The radio is ok. I upgraded goggles and radio. Then I bought a nazgul5 6s. Then I bought 2 more. Then went digital. I bought the fly more kit. I could fly the novice all day. But after getting better and flying a 5in there’s nothing like it!! Really fast and fly a lot better. And carry a GoPro. I never flew in angle mode. I got pretty decent on a sim and always fly in acro. Except my nazgul baby. I fly that inside on angle mode. Best of luck in this awesome rc hobby!! It is awesome!!!!
@@jondoe6618 Ahh well good to know I picked a decent one to start out with at least, cheers bro.
I mean I'm not a total noob person. I used to mess around flying 5-inch fpv drones years ago with some mates fairly regularly, and started to get half ok at it by the end. But haven't flown at all since then, cept on a sim... i always mean to get one and get back at it but then..... life, you know? 😏
These rtf fpv packs helped me take the dive though. They didn't have anything like that back then and mostly everyone flew 5-inch analogue drones that they made and set it all up themselves.
(My mates did most of that, I just used their gear and flew haha)
Didn't even have all these cool mini HD Action cams either..... let alone quality HD digital FPV systems that actually work well. (Way too much lag for fpv still back then)
Amazing to see how far it's come in a few short years.
Amazing.... but also, frightening too. 😬😬😬
(Believe me, I have my reasons)
To be honest I haven't flew these little fpv quads in ages but the last year or two I've (regrettably) had to become rather well acquainted with some various drones/UAV's that are on awhole other level to these!
(Though in a way, not all that different)
And not for fun!
Including being on the wrong end of the camera, and witnessing first-hand just how devastating and terrible a thing they can be, especially in the wrong hands! 😬😬😬😔
(And how very very effective! All too effective! )
And I'm talking relatively small and inexpensive, easily available units that are exported globally (and indiscriminately) by places like China and Turkey.... that even your well-to-do Uncle Joe down the street could probably afford to get his hands on.
And it's only going to get more and more so.
Anyway sorry bro, I'm ranting haha. Or projecting, or both LOL.
But suffice to say much as love flying these fpv's (and even dji type drones to a degree) and appreciate the advancements..... I can't help but be abit wary around it or to recognise the very dark side of this new and game-changing technology also! 😬😔
Ps: I quick checked out that nazgul5 6s and it does seem a pretty sweet rtf.
I am looking for a nice 5-inch atm as theyre still the meat and potatoes of fpv flying IMHO. Just wasn't sure what'd be suitable
Think I just have to work out if I could fly that with the equipment I have from the nov-2 (or with buying minimal extras) and I'll place an order for it too!
Cheers
With computers it's generally accepted for most people to buy their first desktop. However some people want to get into pc building. For those people it's suggested to get a prebuilt, that has plenty of modularity to replace parts with newer ones over time. Are there prebuilt fpv drones like this? I'd like to get into fpv drones, but I also don't want to buy a Dell equivalent if you get what I mean. I don't want to buy something with proprietary parts like DJI (as I'm told) but a prebuilt that's has modular parts that I can upgrade over time. Thoughts?
Very Good Video! Ill try to get my self i Cinewhoop after Christmas time. By now i fly with the Nazgul! I love it :) thanks for all the help with you past videos mate! love your content.
Sounds good mate! Happy holidays 🙌🏼
I got extra arms and motors for my 5" and some Stan fpv ducts, then used m30 connectors on the motor wires. I can swap all 4 arms/motors/ducts in 15 minutes, then turn off air mode and lower rates. Done. I have only done a quick maiden with the ducts so far, but it felt smooth enough for me as a non-pro with limited uses for a cinewhoop. Edit: whoops. Just realized this was an older video.
Yeah... no. You don't have to go above $100 on your very first fpv drone. There are beginner kits that come with everything except radio for $79 to $99. Don't buy anything more than that to start, cuz you are going to wreck your first one for sure. And if you wreck a $280 drone your first time out, you will not want to try again. Good video, but there are way more inexpensive options for beginners. After all... that is who the video was aimed towards? Right?
Wait! No one is mentioning the super hot new intro for this Channel? I love it Mike! Great job as always and don't worry about the wrong words you said, it's always happening to me as a French native speaker haha. Have some awesome Holidays!
Haha glad you like the intro mate 🙌🏼
@@DroneSupremacy as a graphic designer with motion graphic background, I definitely loved it haha
Hey thanks for the video, I'm about to step into fpv world mainly for cinewhoop style, just wondering if there is overlap on the
controllers or other things between use the fpv drones and mini2 (for my photo requirements)?
Thank you for the tips🙏✌🏻
i subbed!!!!! your so close to 100k!!!!
If I'm in a hot air balloon, the last thing I wanna see is a sharp propellers flying around the balloon LOL great video
Everyone was OK with it and it was a planned shoot :)
@@DroneSupremacy I know you have the skills for that and wouldn't be too worried with you flying around it but I meant if I wasn't expecting it and it just showed up. I am a Realtor and have worked with Remax also, thats cool you go to shoot that for them
Any recommendations for sub-250g machines?
The Chimera 4 sounds appealing, but I imagine it's over that magic number.
Trying to get back into the hobby after a few years, and would rather not have to register if I can help it.
Last time I flew the sub-250g market was just starting to get interesting, but HD had only barely become a thing, and wasn't popular yet due to the weight and size of that early equipment.
Thanks for the video, what remote do recommend for HD drone (protek, nazgul)? The DJI one or something else?
Also! Always wondered how you get the hot air balloon shots! Are you flying from in the basket or on the ground?
The n this case I was on the ground but for best shots Iliyana have to be inside
plz get a tiny whoop its the best start your 5 inch wil just adios in a week
What about 7 inch drones then?
what would you recommend for a 200 or less fpv drone? I dont want to add a go pro or anything, just wanna strap goggles on and fuck around close to home. thanks man!
How do these drones match up with the DJI Action 2?
Great recommendations. Like 10+!
Thanks for sharing. For the Drone you built...where did you buy your parts for the body and/or was it a kit? Any kit you recommend?
I put a full gopro on my protek25, it flys fine. But flight time changes by 47 seconds
I’m trying to find a kit under 1k goggles included and all wanting to learn to do basic maneuvers!!
Well i'm just getting into the hobby, unfortunately where I live there are not many options available, I was able to get a BetaFPV Cetus kit so i'm starting with that one, so far all the reviews i've seen say it's great for beginners now watching your vid got me to wonder have you ever tested it? if so what are your thoghts on it
Thanks man, fun and super useful video!
One question. How do i know what receiver to pick? And whats the diffrent betweem them?
Exactly what I wanted to know! Great Timing! But first I want to start with a simulator. In the sim would you start with goggles or without? And would you go for quality stuff right from the start. I was thinking about getting the DJI Remote and Goggles for the sim. But thats already quite expensive.
I’d suggest to go with quality stuff from the start, you’ll save money in the long run. And no, you don’t need goggles for the sim, just the remote :)
@@DroneSupremacy Thought so too! But is the feeling on the monitor not too different compared to the goggles?
@Seiishu So if I understood correctly a good way would be to start of with just a good remote in the first place. Than practice and see if I can get the hang. If I am not too bad I would purchase the goggles still at the sim. And then take the final step.
@@pixelundspaetzle If you enjoy it in the sim, and you are sure that it's for you, then you can get the googles whenever you're ready. Like others here have said, they won't help you with the sim, but you will need them to fly actual FPV. If you don't find yourself interested at sim level, then you can always sell your remote.
Also, I would definitely recommend a smaller, more decile drone as your first, as it will help you learn real life FPV flying skills, will be much easier to fly, and will be harder to break. I went the DJI route and used the iFlight ALPHA A85 tinywhoop, and even though I also had a 5" drone at the time, I found that it was easier to learn the fundamentals on the small drone, as it didn't feel as daunting and high strung as the bigger one.
Just be patient, practice, and most of all have fun.
Can we get the tune your running on the protek 35? I still find a lot of propwash even after a tune! if you couls paste the PIDs and the rates that would be great!
great recap on all the different options
Thanks Eddie 🙌🏼
Very Nice write up. If you already have a cinewhoop but want something for cinematic filming with more power for example to chase cars would you choose the Protek 35 or Nazgul 5. Will the Protek 35 go fast enough?
Are you still doing the review about the HomFPV micron ;)?
Definitely the Nazgul 5. The Protek is fast but not so much to chase cars :)
And yeah - i have some issues with the Micron so i need to wait for some spare parts from HOM.
I'll do the review as soon as i can fly it :)
Hey, so I am totally new to the drone game, but want to start directly with fpv.
Should I start with a simulator?
If so, which simulator can you guys recommend? And which controller should I buy?
Thanks for the answers!
My knowledge on your other questions is obsolete, but I very much recommend a simulator.
I learned with FPV Freerider Recharged, but there are so many more choices available today. All I can recommend is, yes, start with a simulator to build the basic skills and experiments that you don't want to risk your real drone for.
What’s the difference between the Iflight Nazgul 5 drone having the vista kit and not having it?
I want to record snowboard and windsurf videos so I nead a drone that can handel strong wind and cold condisions and It need some reange to. And i want to record some sinamatic shots to wich drone shuld i get.
Quality content Mike, and I completely agree with your opinion on buying your first drone. It makes it easier to learn from, figure out how it's built, learn to repair it, and to experience what a properly tuned drone should actually fly like. I got into FPV just this past summer, and just recently built my first Apex with some quality T-Motor components, basing the build on all the experience that I had acquired since I started flying earlier in the year.
BTW, loving that hype, new intro! 😁👍
Thanks a lot - Glad you like the new small additions to the videos :)
As for your build - sounds great! I've had a very similar build myself - Apex with Tmotor F4 Stack. Great choice! Happy flying 🙌🏼
I would have to disagree, buying a pre-built would most certainly make it harder to know how it's built, and how to repair etc, if you build it yourself you will have a much better understanding, and there are so many kits and videos available to help these days you don't have to start from scratch, I think a kit with all components already matched up for you and we'll documented instructions/videos are the best starting point
How about the mobula 6 or tinyhawk freestyle?
What props are those that you have on your Nazgul,yellow ones
Thanks for the valueable information!
Thank you very much, friend! Useful info!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you! Which one do you recommend between the nazgul and the chimera?
The nazgul is all-around the better drone for sure.
Cool Video! В итоге какой дрон лучше в 21м для новичка ?)
Is it annoying/distracting having the props in view when using the nazgul ?
Can you teach me how to use lu8 GPS drone? I am still learning
Hey! I just purchased the Sector 5 after a hard decision between this and the Titan XL5.
At the moment I’m not sure how I feel about the HGLRC since I had to install an air unit and it felt really harsh.
Can I use your help and compare the build with yours? May I chat with you in private.
I’d really appreciate that.
Hey I was going to buy an fov drone and already have a transmitter but I have no idea how to know which drones it will be compatible with does anybody know how I would find out ?
What fpv goggles and remote should I buy for the Nazgul 5 hd
Super helpful!
got a FPV drone from a company i wont mention, but cant get it to work (fly), can i share what gear i have compiled for that i can hopefully use on one you could recommend?
Great video this will get many pilots into air
I'm debating between the hglrc and nazgul5 hd...I only want to cruise and film and follow some faster subjects. When you film with a gopro 7 do you see the prop in frame on both of these?
Nope! The props are not visible in the footage :) you can’t go wrong with any of the two quads 🙌🏼
Does the aglc sector 5 br drone have vr camera egen you buy it?
Love the jumper lol.
So I would go with a cine whoop in 2021. Thanks a lot again Mike for these superb tips! Have a wonderful time with your closed ones :)
Same to you my friend 🙌🏼
Is it worth getting into FPV in Amercica? I used to fly planes and helicopters 11 years ago. With this remote ID and all the restrictions coming I fell like giving up before starting.
It sure is, FPV is thriving at the moment!
1:16 yikes, that was close :D
No risk no glory LOL
Awesome video, do you use the DJI controller or Crossfire?
I use crossfire with the Tango2👌🏼
Can you test the range?
Can you give me the link to make a naked gopro?
what about Lumenier QAV-R 2 HD? I'm new to FPV drone and doing some research for getting my first FPV drone. Thanks.
Haven't tested one personally but i've heard good things about it!
nice info !
hello could anyone suggest me a drone that does quick turns and is fast
im guesing thats the racing drone
titan xl5
Hi, what would you reccomend me to buy. I want to start with FPV And I would like to order drone from banggood. I am considering Eachine Wirard x220S the RTF version with controller And Eachine EV800D googles. IT seems fine according to the Price. But I saw also iFlight Nazgul5. Which one Is better, or do you reccomend aby other drone fór 2021? Thanks a lot.
I want mostly to try freestyle. So I want a "freestyle drone" I want something that Is a mix power price and has a variety for freestyle
Definitely go for the nazgul! the wizard is a very old quad.
@@DroneSupremacy Thanks a lot
Good stuff Mike...looks like someone got some updated graphics. 👍👍👍 Can't go wrong with the beta95x (just keep it outta the water...LOL).
Gotta stay fresh! 😂🙌🏼
Good tips Mike
I want to start flying FPV after I've been flying the DJI Phantoms for a couple of years.
I find i t hard to know how to buy all the parts needed, such as controllers, goggles, batteries, protocols etc. Really don't understand what all the terms mean and what I need... :/ Thinking of getting the Chimera 4 since main usage will be cinematic filming and the GPS function feels like a good-thing-to-have option.
The Chimera 4 is a good choice but i cannot carry a full-sized GoPro! Keep that in mind, it's meant to fly a naked GoPro (one that you strip down yourself.)
So it might not be the ideal 1st FPV quad. Check out the iFlight ProTek35, it's a cinewhoop but it's also quite fast and it can carry a full gopro, i'd say that's perfect for cinematic flying!
@@DroneSupremacy Thanks for your answer! Alright maybe the Protek35 is a better choice or the Nazgul 5? How do I find suitable goggles and controllers, since you don't have to use the most expensive DJI equipment I guess?
@@NismoTNR Really depends if you want to fly Digital or Analog. Check this video for more details, I think it will be helpful: ruclips.net/video/42TuFJ2rdbM/видео.html
@@DroneSupremacy Thanks, got a little bit more clear now! ;) How can I tell what goggles & controllers are compatible with for example the Protek35?
Thank God that I'm not into FPV hey! LOL...
I'm really just a Mavic Mini fan, and Mini 2 also.. I'm just the Mini guy I guess!
Sweet
I do really enjoy watching about FPV, just no interest in flying FPV at all.. My Minis probably just do it for me, they're way more than enough...
Sweet
Keep well and be safe bro!
It’s an expensive and quite stressful hobby I can tell you 😂 but the fun you get out of it is 100% worth it 👌🏼
@@DroneSupremacy I have a vague idea, trust me.. I'm also into 3D helicopters, so I know very well what it means to crash very often and have to repair yourself.. Fixing a crashed 6CH 3D helicopter is not a simple task, but it's so very fun!
I get the same amount of fun out of flying my 3D helicopters as I do when I have to build and fix them..
FPV drones are probably also cool to work on, but balancing everything and setting up and configuring everything on a 3D heli is like heaven for me!
Although my Mavic Mini has really overtaken my 3D helicopters hobby I still do maintenance on all of them and I do fly them to keep their LiPos healthy..
Sweet
PS: with all the huge amounts of cash I spent before on my 3D helis flying a Mini is like heaven hey!
😁
😁🛸🌍🌃🇧🇬
hey man what do u think about Diatone Roma F5
Just buy it all
What is name of drone at 5:20?
Thanks buddy
iFlight ProTek 25 HD :)
Hey so I’m new to this. Since these drones are digital I would need the dji headset right. But what controller?
Yep that's correct. You can purchase the DJI FPV Remote or get a 3rd party one, however for that you'll need to install a "receiver" on the drone itself. It's easier to go for the DJI FPV Remote, however the 3rd party controllers are smaller, in many situations more powerful, cheaper and offer more. It's just a personal preference.
@@DroneSupremacy thanks man that helps a lot. Are the receivers decently priced if I go the third party route.
Great video. ! I’m having hard time deciding on a digital fpv setup. Budget is around $1600 . Thinking about waiting and checking out the new DJI combo but not sure
Premium analog gear comes at same price as DJI FPV fly more combo ~ 999€(fatshark goggles ~600€, video RX module ~100€, video tx 50€, remote + receiver 100-200€)
Definitely get a good bundle. Be careful getting stuff from banggood though, I got a good deal but many headaches that would deter new pilots
Loved the video. Where do I get that sweatshirt??? HOODIE??
Here you go :)

Any FB pages to suggest for fpv (DIY) drones for newbies?
So I need the DJI digital goggles for $500??
tiny hawk???
Very instructive Video!!
Which battery were you getting to push the Chimera 4 flight time to 20min? Did that work?
I'm thinking on getting a Chimera 4 or Rekon 4 and trying to get the most flight time.

Thank you for the video. Can you mount an Osmo Action on Protek 25?
I think will be too heavy for it! Protek 35 will handle it perfectly though
@@DroneSupremacy thank you so much for your rapid answer. Regards.
