Kev, Im so glad you took the blow full chin. Takes balls to take the FPV on like you trying to do man! Im in the hobby for four years now and trust me on this, patience man. You will get there and when you do you will be very glad you did it! The radio you are using is not very great to learn on. I think your disappointment comes mainly from that currently. The radio to buy is either a FrSky QX-7 or RadioMaster TX16 or Jumper TS12 Pro. The gimbals on the radio are vital to give you the accuracy you will need to take control over your quad. As suggested practicing on a sim gives great advantages without damaging anything or anyone with a 5'' racing quad you got. Good luck! It is very entertaining to watch you learn the first steps. Being a heli pilot gives you advantage, use it!
Learning to fly a quad is pretty tough, but very rewarding once you get it. It will help to start on a simulator, and work from there. I've gotten to a point, I'm way more comfortable flying FPV than line of sight. Keep at it, you'll get it! Im excited to see some drone stuff on your channel.
I got excited when I saw the title to this video and thought it was a more recent video and that you were going to be giving quadcopters a try. How come you don't fly them anymore (as far as I can tell)? The noises you made were the same noises I made when first learning to fly haha. You did damn good once you got into the garage. One thing I was wrong about was thinking flying tinywhoops indoors would be easy when in fact that is probably the hardest thing to master. Flying TinyHawk in large buildings or outside with no wind is a good start imo. Also, if you think the analog FPV system looked good, you should see what digital stuff we have now! I'd love to see you pick up flying but lack of quadcopters won't keep me from tuning in. Best of luck Kev and hope all is well!
No worries, you're a natural! That throttle control was on point at the end!! A larger area will definitely help. Its all about "forward motion " and throttle control with drones!!
I have the emax tinyhawk 2 and the first time i flew it i would go across my yard and then land and go pick it up, turn it around and fly it back to the other side of my yard, anyway you really need to fly outside or practice on a sim but that little room is not enough space to fly that. Another tip, always fly forward because that is the only direction that you can see.
Hey Kev, love your Rc channel. Take the drone to a field. Take off then go forward straight away, then you will a custom your eyes to flying them. I struggled for ages until somebody told me this . Also, don’t hover in FPV . You lose balance quick. Keep flying forward mate
kev, i started fpv when the shutdowns began, i started with the tinyhawk 2s. i have upgraded both my reciever and transmitter antennas to omnidirectional style. I super glue my props on, i have found that if you use the turtle mode the props will go on vacation without the drone, sometimes without using the turtle mode, just keep in mind that you cannot remove them until they remove themselves after that point. outside on 2s that drone is a rocketship until you have gotten 10 or so hours of flight time in. after the 30 hours or flight time i got the 2s tiny hawk freestyle 2. I now have many of the little 1s batteries now. Also top secret knowledge here, i have swapped my traxxas alias quadcopter over to the batteries and connectors from this drone, to my surprise it did not blow up on the hotter batteries and in fact is much more fun to fly drone with the weight savings and higher voltage batteries. good luck with your drones!
Fpv pilot here. That tiny whoop is good. That transmitter isnt great. You have a real tx, so get liftoff or velocadrone and do sim. Sim means less breaking things and more flying as when you crash you push a button and reset. Those arnt the best goggles, but they are really good for the money, get new antennas for them. Choose lhcp or rhcp to help break up. Im a year in in the hobby and love it, and turned a wltoys12428 into fpv based on this channel.
Brother i love your channel. so let me give you some tips on FPV. first off a FPV simulator like Velocidrone or Lift Off will be your best friend when you are new to FPV. Also hovering or flying slow in small spaces like in a house is just hard even if you have been flying for a while. my advise to you is to take your drone to a field, set your fpv camera angle between 25 and 30 deg. now put on goggles and lift the drone off the ground and keep a forward motion at all times until you get comfortable flying around. don't try to hover until you get good. it will take some time but if you practice every day and fly 3 or 4 lipo packs each time you will get good pretty quick. Also don't fly line of sight. always use goggles. and always fly in acro mode. learning in self leveling mode sets up bad habits that are hard to break later on when you want to switch to acro so better off to just start and learn in acro mode. Brother i hope this helps you out. if you have any questions just ask and i will try to help. i have been flying acro fpv for 4 years and it is very fun. Good luck.
As others have said, go outside. Get your 5incher and go and find a big open space with no people in it. Use angle mode. Set your camera angle to 15 to 20°. Always be moving forward. The TinyHawk will work ok outside if theses no wind. Have fun. 👍
I totally agree with you that fpv flying is bloody hard and takes a long time to learn, but the results can be exceptional. Great idea 💡. Great vid Kev mate, good luck in learning 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️😎
@@delvpf6671 Hey man I love my mini quads as much as I love my planes, but they do crash and it requires time money, and know-how to keep one running. once you get over the steep learning curve though it's an awesome hobby!
i had the same trouble that you are having with the googles when i first started flying but i got the fatshark hd3’s and after many hours of practice and a serious amount of money i can day im alright at racing and freestyle. my best advise is JUST PRACTICE
You're actually doing pretty good keep it up and you'll be in full control in about a week. FPV is great fun with both flying and in how much you can learn! I make excited for you to dive into it! feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions. Or sell local in person help as there is tons of guys willing to help just like myself. Here's why it's so hard for you... And a couple tips to improve faster. 1. In rate/acro mode the default rates on that drone are much higher than they should be especially for a beginner. Measured in degrees per second, the default rates are around 600 degrees per second. for that drone and just learning to fly at you should be somewhere between 300 and 450 degrees per second. You can do this 2 ways, either need to download beta flight software in plug your drone into the computer... Or, left stick left and right stick forward to enter the on-screen display settings menu. Or maybe reverse the sticks depending on your transmitter. From here it's safest to look up "adjusting rates in beta flight OSD". 2. The drone has much more power than you need in that environment. Flying that size environment you are better off limiting the throttle in the software to about 80%. 3. You're flying a very small area 4. It's very difficult to fly in such a small area in the beginning because you have a tendency to want to hover. you will learn that it is much easier to fly forward than it is to hover. You will almost definitely crash every time you fly backwards or straight left/right. You should only fly in the direction that you can see while you are learning. Basically the tip here is always keep moving forward even if it's slowly. 5. You do not have a flight plan other than "please don't crash". Nothing really wrong with that except it causes you to want to hover, see number 4 above. You are better off setting up some sort of a course that you fly around specific or through specific obstacles. This will help you keep forward momentum, and keep a flight plan, preventing you from flying backwards or coming to a standstill hover. 6. The tiny hawk is it great racing drone for beginners and pros. The only downside is that it comes with that controller with short control sticks. These short sticks limit how much resolution your fingers have to control the drone. You're much better off upgrading to a full size transmitter. Full size transmitter will give you much better control and precision. You can get micro Spektrum Rx to install in the drone to work with your Spektrum radio. Or get whatever full size junk TX that works with frsky. (Can you tell I'm a spektrum guy :-) )
When I first learned to fly I adjusted my camera angle so it wasn't looking up as much makes it easier to get the feel of how the Drone flies but you have a long way to go my friend good luck
Currently you have 2 dipole antennas on the goggles but the 5" quad has a circular polarised antenna, make sure you have the same type of antenna on the goggle when you go out to fly, otherwise the video signal wont be good.
Kev, revisit fpv, you learn to fly them via an fpv simulator and you can use the goggles and controls you already have to get you going. Also learning some basic moves will massively help out, a guy called Josh Bardwell has done videos on this take a look.
Kev, it takes a while. But its not very hard. Throw props on that 5 inch machine and go to a large empty field, like the one with the skate park you bash your RC's at. Just remember where your dis arm switch is. If you can fly CP helis, you can FPV.
Kev we seriously need to meet up at Arc one weekend, we all bash and fly Fpv racing drones, we've all started from the beginning and learnt a lot along the way. Feel free to join Essex FPV freestyles on Facebook and join in. 👍🏽👍🏽😁
Awesomeness.. I've just started the fpv journey myself about a month ago and yeah.. pretty same results. Lotsa crashing and some laughs.. I find it helps to have a larger area to fly with few obstacles. Simulators also help bunches.
tip try having it just slide on the floor so you can get the forward back left and right down then work on the up and down you will prob get a lot of crap stuck in the motors tho so just make sure to clean them out a lot
On the big one you can try pinch control. Use your thumb and index finger to “pinch” the throttle and direction sticks. It allows you to have more precise control of the drone
First thing to do is increase expo to 70% or more to not get into pilot induced ossilation Fly auto level first to get used to it on open fields (closed spaces are noob killers) Then go into horizon mode to get used to flips And then go acro mode (cool stuff happen here) and as you get better find the right amount of expo that feels right for you Also one big mistake you are doing is your camera has way too much angle for beginner, you want it level so you can see the ground better for a refrence also go into betaflight OSD settings and set artificial horizon so you can see the level without ground refrence and ste motor beeping to to find it easier Also with those goggles you can watch some fpv videos to get rid of nervousness BT FPV school 101
when learning fpv its a lot easier to practice outdoors until your comfortable with it and usually the bigger the drone the more stable it is which may be why sometimes the little one can be hard to control
You need to go outside with the little emax drone. It's too fast for indoor flight for a beginner. Go to an open lot and you will pick it up quickly when you have lots of space.
I think anyone trying to fly inside that office would have a hard time controlling it. I would say going outside in a big area would give you enough time for course correction and getting out of crashes much easier since you would have more time to react.
If your struggling to fly, go outside and try in a field with either the small drone or the big one. It'll be a lot easier as you will have a lot more space
FINALLY !!! I’ve been doing drones for a moment now waiting for you Lolol. Still haven’t upgraded my goggles set from the emax set ha.. finally got a tx16s in hopes for long range! But I have the freestyle 2 and the tinyhawk 2
Kev, you should definitely try out the dji hd goggles. They have way better quality then those Oled goggles that you got. They can even film in 1080p or even better as wll!
That weird mode is called acro mode, when you put the stick forward it is the speed that the drone rotates that way so the more you put the stick forward the faster the drone rotates forward, just a tip that will help you a lot, and its easier to fly acro with goggles on.
lol @7:08 how much drone simulator have you done? have you flown drones in acro mode, just line of sight? kind of helps to just be good at that first... and yes more room to correct outside helps too
Kev, one more thing. You can bind your Spectrum DSMX radio to the tinyhawk and use that radio instead this toy grade. I have the TinyHawk bundle you have and the controller has very small sticks and terrible to fly with in general. You will feel much more control with your Spectrum DX. Goggles are awesome they were a good choice. If noone has told yet DJI has burnt the market with coming out their digital goggle and VTX system with very low latency (DJI FPV system - min £700 price tag) currently the top of the line but whoever had one never want to turn back any more to analogue video.
Hey Kev, I tape a bit of a coffee stirrer under my camera so that you can just see the tip and it helps give you a reference point when using fpv. It helped me alot when I first started.
You could also try change the camera because the tiny hawk camera isn’t very good however emax make the tiny hawk 2.0 which has a better camera and it can also handle 2s once you’ve learned to fly well!
It seems like your inputs are too big and that might be because of the tiny radio. It's like trying to fly with an Xbox controller. Maybe a fully size radio and trying the pinching technique instead of thumbs might help?
Oh my god kev I've been getting into fpv recently, and I was actually going to be getting the tiny hawk drone and I'm so glad that you made this video!
After you get some time under your belt you should look into the DJI goggles. If your looking to do cinematic stuff and recording your other rc stuff. The skyzone are nice but nowhere near the image quality digital has.
it's definitely harder to fly goggles than line of sight. i think it has to do with not seeing the surroundings. try in a bigger area and go slow. smaller stick movements than you'd expect. very similar to helicopter control though.
Great progress, think about getting a simulator like velocidrone or liftoff to get some good practice. I would also recommend to get some better antennas for the FPV goggles. That would increas the range alot for outdoor flying.
Weird, i'm exactly the opposite with drones and helis, hahaha! I can't for the life of me fly a heli, as soon as I go upside down my brain gets baffled. Of courseI haven't really put any hours into practicing helis. Regardless, quads are really intuitive to me for some reason, although I sometimes struggle configuring them in Betaflight. Definitely like others have mentioned, flying in a simulator is the best way to get used to how quads fly. I fell in love with Liftoff over any other sim I've used. If you can get one working, I'd definitely be interested if you put out some some videos flying in the sim. It's not too different from a heli, but the throttle control may take some time to get used to. Great flying though, pretty good for your first few flights!
in my opinion oen of the best fpv simulators is velocidrone it's recommended by a lot of great fpv pilots and they have tons of drones and parts so you can spec one yourself, they even have the tinyhawk in the micro drone package
What about creating fpv with the infraction or the Kraton 8s so you feel like you’re really driving them? I’ve been wanting fpv to come to r/c cars for the longest time lol
There's at least two sims on steam to learn how to fly. You'll get idea of flight characteristics/dynamics of a drone. I poured hours into line of sight flying with a cheerson micro quad then progressed up to finally a Lumenier 210 setup. This is going back a few years. But you've done it right by starting on a tiny whoop sized quad. Put some hours into it though. The jump from a Tiny Hawk or whatever you have there to a racing quad is like racing a Ford Mexico Escort to an F1. Josh Bardwell has a good channel and so has Stu from UAV Futures for reviews on quads and goggles.
Need more room Kev! And you're ringing the poor drones neck! Gentle on the sticks. They don't sag / chop / drag, what ever you like to call it, anywhere near as much as a single rotor heli.
I am doing exactly what you are doing. I have a cheaper drone the practice with and get good at flying and then I will go to a nicer drone. It's hard to learn but once you get the hang of it, it suddenly clicks.
it helps to always be moving forward a little and you might want to fly with the level mode on for a few rounds. and smooth small inputs. I'm still bad at acro flying
Hi Kev! I have been watching your videos for years now and every since your udr unboxing i have wanted one and i have decided to purchase one wish me luck.

Yeah fpv is hard but you will learn over time. Some rc car recording with those drones would be sick!
Says a child
@@ollepearce3116 hey did do but I agree with you Ollie pearce
@@ollepearce3116 my 5 year old can fly fpv
This is a RC Copter
I fly them for fun lol they arent too hard
Hey Kev try flying it outside there you will have more room to learn. That would be so cool. flying right next to a RC car.
Kev, Im so glad you took the blow full chin. Takes balls to take the FPV on like you trying to do man! Im in the hobby for four years now and trust me on this, patience man. You will get there and when you do you will be very glad you did it! The radio you are using is not very great to learn on. I think your disappointment comes mainly from that currently. The radio to buy is either a FrSky QX-7 or RadioMaster TX16 or Jumper TS12 Pro. The gimbals on the radio are vital to give you the accuracy you will need to take control over your quad. As suggested practicing on a sim gives great advantages without damaging anything or anyone with a 5'' racing quad you got. Good luck! It is very entertaining to watch you learn the first steps. Being a heli pilot gives you advantage, use it!
qx7 is a great radio
100% agree the frustration stems mostly from radio and not the goggles.
It's harder to fly the tinyhawk inside than 5 incher outside. I love racing drones!!!!
Yeah me too...but i don,t have any racing drone...😅😅
Learning to fly a quad is pretty tough, but very rewarding once you get it. It will help to start on a simulator, and work from there. I've gotten to a point, I'm way more comfortable flying FPV than line of sight. Keep at it, you'll get it! Im excited to see some drone stuff on your channel.
Agreed
use a sim. we chatted about this awhile back. the sim has helped me and everyone I know at getting better at FPV flying.
Thanks for the consistency Kev!!!
2:23 the hdmi is for simulator from a pc like liftoff and dlr
That wasn’t too bad in the end. I have some drone gear, far too scared to fly them though. Might have to get some Sim time in.
get a sim and fly there until you feel comfortable. then go out on a big field where you cant hurt anyone or anything and see how that goes..
Thanks for all the awesome vids 😀
Im gonna miss this shop😢 so many memories

"Why's it so hard" "How can it be so hard", something no woman ever said LOL 🤣
@Robert Carswell OOOooo you got me there bud, very original... FOH! Enjoy your day...🤣🤣
😃😄
Hey Kevin I recommend you for change your antenna from your goggle. I recommend you for use O.R.T antenna for more nice image from fpv goggle
my best advice: angle mode for indoors, acro for outdoors and smooth filming
angle for line of sight and acro for fpv

As others have said, go outside.
Get your 5incher and go and find a big open space with no people in it.
Use angle mode.
Set your camera angle to 15 to 20°.
Always be moving forward.
The TinyHawk will work ok outside if theses no wind.
Have fun. 👍
Small drones are harder kev. But it requires patience to learn. You can definitely pull it off .

Hi Kevin I’ve tried fpv in the past and found it much easier sitting down. Sounds silly but give it a go.
Fpv, welcome to a world of burnt electronics and sadness.
I’d rather burn a few esc’s than be stuck flying ovals with a plane. It doesn’t get much sadder than that. Also if you use good parts they don’t burn.

You're actually doing pretty good keep it up and you'll be in full control in about a week. FPV is great fun with both flying and in how much you can learn! I make excited for you to dive into it! feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions. Or sell local in person help as there is tons of guys willing to help just like myself.

The trick to change direction is to do a little bit of roll and then a little bit of yaw, is better if you do it simultaneously.
Awesomeness.. I've just started the fpv journey myself about a month ago and yeah.. pretty same results. Lotsa crashing and some laughs.. I find it helps to have a larger area to fly with few obstacles. Simulators also help bunches.
tip try having it just slide on the floor so you can get the forward back left and right down then work on the up and down you will prob get a lot of crap stuck in the motors tho so just make sure to clean them out a lot
On the big one you can try pinch control. Use your thumb and index finger to “pinch” the throttle and direction sticks. It allows you to have more precise control of the drone
First thing to do is increase expo to 70% or more to not get into pilot induced ossilation
Fly auto level first to get used to it on open fields (closed spaces are noob killers)
Then go into horizon mode to get used to flips
And then go acro mode (cool stuff happen here) and as you get better find the right amount of expo that feels right for you
Also one big mistake you are doing is your camera has way too much angle for beginner, you want it level so you can see the ground better for a refrence also go into betaflight OSD settings and set artificial horizon so you can see the level without ground refrence and ste motor beeping to to find it easier
Also with those goggles you can watch some fpv videos to get rid of nervousness
BT FPV school 101
when learning fpv its a lot easier to practice outdoors until your comfortable with it and usually the bigger the drone the more stable it is which may be why sometimes the little one can be hard to control
Keep at it kev, it is so much more fun when you aren't using all your focus on the sticks
You need to go outside with the little emax drone. It's too fast for indoor flight for a beginner. Go to an open lot and you will pick it up quickly when you have lots of space.
I think anyone trying to fly inside that office would have a hard time controlling it. I would say going outside in a big area would give you enough time for course correction and getting out of crashes much easier since you would have more time to react.

Looks great! Happy flying!
Kev, try gripping the sticks between the thumb and forefinger it gives you a bit more control and sensitivity IMHO 😎
Hey Kevin, I have a WLtoys 144001 and the radio s broken, if I buy a new replacement one (from WL) will it pair?
FINALLY !!! I’ve been doing drones for a moment now waiting for you Lolol. Still haven’t upgraded my goggles set from the emax set ha.. finally got a tx16s in hopes for long range! But I have the freestyle 2 and the tinyhawk 2
Kev, you should definitely try out the dji hd goggles. They have way better quality then those Oled goggles that you got. They can even film in 1080p or even better as wll!
That weird mode is called acro mode, when you put the stick forward it is the speed that the drone rotates that way so the more you put the stick forward the faster the drone rotates forward, just a tip that will help you a lot, and its easier to fly acro with goggles on.
A big open area is the best to start with and then flying indoors will get easier
Yes It is quite hard.... You should really start fpv with your emax tinyhawk..... On acro mode.... It makes it much easier to start.
lol @7:08 how much drone simulator have you done? have you flown drones in acro mode, just line of sight? kind of helps to just be good at that first... and yes more room to correct outside helps too
You got much better very fast! How was the image quality from the race drone?
Kev, one more thing. You can bind your Spectrum DSMX radio to the tinyhawk and use that radio instead this toy grade. I have the TinyHawk bundle you have and the controller has very small sticks and terrible to fly with in general. You will feel much more control with your Spectrum DX. Goggles are awesome they were a good choice. If noone has told yet DJI has burnt the market with coming out their digital goggle and VTX system with very low latency (DJI FPV system - min £700 price tag) currently the top of the line but whoever had one never want to turn back any more to analogue video.
Hey Kev, I tape a bit of a coffee stirrer under my camera so that you can just see the tip and it helps give you a reference point when using fpv. It helped me alot when I first started.
Ive been waiting forever for you to do a drone video. Thank you
You could also try change the camera because the tiny hawk camera isn’t very good however emax make the tiny hawk 2.0 which has a better camera and it can also handle 2s once you’ve learned to fly well!
I've flown fpv quads for years. They require a lot of skill and practice. Slow n smooth. Gentle on the sticks.
Kev try flying outside it will be easier to learn and try and keep the drone moving forward most people do that
Yesss drones that's what I've been waiting for you to try out and learn, keep it up:)
It seems like your inputs are too big and that might be because of the tiny radio. It's like trying to fly with an Xbox controller. Maybe a fully size radio and trying the pinching technique instead of thumbs might help?
I would try to go outside with it on a calm day and give yourself a bit of practice space
Yeah like a football field. The turf won't hurt anything
@@brysonkuhn3290 that would be perfect
1:13 Kev is of to help batman fight crime 😂😂
Oh my god kev I've been getting into fpv recently, and I was actually going to be getting the tiny hawk drone and I'm so glad that you made this video!
After you get some time under your belt you should look into the DJI goggles. If your looking to do cinematic stuff and recording your other rc stuff. The skyzone are nice but nowhere near the image quality digital has.
it's definitely harder to fly goggles than line of sight. i think it has to do with not seeing the surroundings. try in a bigger area and go slow. smaller stick movements than you'd expect. very similar to helicopter control though.
Try flying it outside more room probably will help I know it did for me it’s hard to fly those drones in a little small space
Just keep going forward. It will make it easier to just go the direction you can see, until you get your bearings
Great progress, think about getting a simulator like velocidrone or liftoff to get some good practice. I would also recommend to get some better antennas for the FPV goggles. That would increas the range alot for outdoor flying.
Great goggoles Kev.Try flying it in stability mode.Have you config it in beta flight.
Kevin, should I pool the money and try to get a UDR? Is it worth it?
Problably
okay thanks
Weird, i'm exactly the opposite with drones and helis, hahaha! I can't for the life of me fly a heli, as soon as I go upside down my brain gets baffled. Of courseI haven't really put any hours into practicing helis. Regardless, quads are really intuitive to me for some reason, although I sometimes struggle configuring them in Betaflight.
Definitely like others have mentioned, flying in a simulator is the best way to get used to how quads fly. I fell in love with Liftoff over any other sim I've used. If you can get one working, I'd definitely be interested if you put out some some videos flying in the sim. It's not too different from a heli, but the throttle control may take some time to get used to. Great flying though, pretty good for your first few flights!
I'm an fpv pilot man its great that you come show us some love and i also have that same emaxx tiny hawk
Look into liftoff and velocidrone simulator they are great for learning to fly without breaking stuff mate
in my opinion oen of the best fpv simulators is velocidrone it's recommended by a lot of great fpv pilots and they have tons of drones and parts so you can spec one yourself, they even have the tinyhawk in the micro drone package
I've learnt to fly FPV quad for over 3 years and mastered it. But due to many restrictions from authorities so now switch to crawlers!
What about creating fpv with the infraction or the Kraton 8s so you feel like you’re really driving them? I’ve been wanting fpv to come to r/c cars for the longest time lol
If you learned to fly with orientation it's hard to learn fpv just use a big screen before the goggles to get used to it first
You've got it. Awesome video, and nice optima posters
Hey Kev, Try Velocidrone, you can plug HDMI in your googles and into your PC that will bee a better experience and even better for learning.
There's at least two sims on steam to learn how to fly. You'll get idea of flight characteristics/dynamics of a drone. I poured hours into line of sight flying with a cheerson micro quad then progressed up to finally a Lumenier 210 setup. This is going back a few years. But you've done it right by starting on a tiny whoop sized quad. Put some hours into it though. The jump from a Tiny Hawk or whatever you have there to a racing quad is like racing a Ford Mexico Escort to an F1. Josh Bardwell has a good channel and so has Stu from UAV Futures for reviews on quads and goggles.
Need more room Kev! And you're ringing the poor drones neck! Gentle on the sticks. They don't sag / chop / drag, what ever you like to call it, anywhere near as much as a single rotor heli.
Great video and it hasn’t even loaded fully yet!👍
I am doing exactly what you are doing. I have a cheaper drone the practice with and get good at flying and then I will go to a nicer drone. It's hard to learn but once you get the hang of it, it suddenly clicks.
it helps to always be moving forward a little and you might want to fly with the level mode on for a few rounds. and smooth small inputs. I'm still bad at acro flying
"Headphones" reminds me that car you tested..😂😂😂😂
I love your new glasses kev it is a funny video 🤣🤣🤣😂
Hi Kev! I have been watching your videos for years now and every since your udr unboxing i have wanted one and i have decided to purchase one wish me luck.
Got my DJI Mavic mini drone coming today, can’t wait to fly it and get some good footage
I would recommend practising on an open field because for me it was also difficult and I crashed it a lot so u need a huge space to practice on
I've never tried FPV Looks like loads of fun though Keep it up Kev you will get it Just make very small movements on the controls ✌️
