How to get STARTED flying FPV DRONES! (For Beginners)
In this video, I go over all the things you need to get started practicing and flying FPV Drones! Along with some of my recommendations on what you should pick up first, from the drone, a pair of goggles, the radio (controller) and a simulator to really get some stick time in!

This is video what i needed right now. Thanksss!
great video! how are you sticking those SSDs to the back of your laptop?
How do you know if your radio convertible with your drone
did you just forget to say what FPV stand for, brah?
wow another hobby i didn’t know that i needed 😂
i have a deerc d10 and ive crashed it into trees, and onto a roof once, and there is no damage
Wow. I know this is a couple years old but exactly what I need. Total noob to FPV. Love your approach. Look forward to following you.
Perfect. This is exactly what I was looking for
wgat fpv drone should i get for 1680 please respon or make a vid for me
Can i fly with action 2 camera that small one
This is a very random idea on my end, but im down for trying
Is that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoMnBUmtySc your brother?
Video quality #gg.
Is a dromida verso good to learn with before i get something good
What do you think about Holy Stone for a beginner?
Another poorly educated illiterate who thinks drone is a Quadcopter. What school did you actually go, what education did you attain not to know that ‘drone’ is a word, not a name, nor used to name anything that flies. It’s a word used to describe a continuous humming sound and, it has present and past participles and definitions. If ‘drone’ is a name, are its present and past participles and definitions also names and used to name these flying gadgets? And you say you’re educated, you spikka da inglisha, you’re intelligent? PFFFT! Really? Just go back to school and learn the definition of ‘drone’, don’t listen to all other under-educated, low IQ dunces coming on sh*tty YouTube and bragging about ‘drone’ this, ‘drone’ that, yada yada yada…, following them like the sheep, FFS! 🤨
Can i use my spektrum dx6 for drones too?
Looking to get into FPV. This is a really helpful video. I know Im late to it but still lol, thanks for education man!
sorry for your watch.
Very well done video. Thank you for such a time saver. Can’t wait to take flight!
Casie neistat long lost twin lmao
Super helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorry I ask but, I’m from Denmark. And it looks like I’m only getting a FrSky Taranis X9. Is it good enough.
Thanks. I’m not a droner, yet. I was planning to get a small drone, then decided to wait to get the best possible goggle first, then get a matching drone and radio that connects well with it. I am now waiting to see what zerohd comes up with. It seems I would benefit with it’s latency and control characteristics.
Thank you for making this video 👍👍.. Helps me a lot
So two years later, what would be the equivalent setup now. Are DJI FPV googles universal? I am looking at a Cinerace 20 with a DJI Mode2 controller? Have you made a new version of this video by chance
Where did you get that simulator dongle for your mac? Btw, this video has convinced me to get a drone. Thanks 😒…lol 🤣
so thats 500.. might aswel add 200 and get a high end dji fpv lol… least if you dont like it you can sell it
Great video!! Why did you quit YT?!
I wish I could afford that! How lucky I would be
Nice video, popped up in my recommendations. You should make an updated ones now that frsky is kind of irrelevant
How can we make a drone acting like a WW2 bomber plane?
Any updated ones for 2022?
is skyzone 04x more worthy?
Brand new to the hobby or wanna try…tinyhawk 3 RTF (ready to fly) decent controller gimbles with enough switches Todo everything explained here, aswel as use with a flight sim, & use with most other fpv drones, the goggles are decent enough with a removable screen for others to watch on while your flying (when you upgrade..(v.nice feature).which will most likely be the 1st thing you want to upgrade).
Came out after this video so not sure if Op agrees..just my opinion😊..seems these RTF kits are getting alot better quickly!
Thankyou for the video, plenty of useful information for us beginners!🙏
He looks like got character
Do you think that using smartphone with vr headset is enough for a beginner?
Just watched the vid and ordered my first drone. Got everything in the vid except that I wound up getting the tinyhawk 3. A little confused as to the batteries for it. I want to order a bunch of spares and a charger. What do you recommend for those?
My house is massive I will just fly this thing inside if I had a VR headset
No surprise here as listing overhyped transmitter and fpv goggles.
If I’m not mistaken, this is analog fpv?
What’s different if I’d like using digital?
Only info i have is the video is nicer, but higher latency.
Obviously a commercial. Is there any of this reviews real?
Hi, Guys!
I’m interested in FPV drones, but I’m a beginner. I’m going to buy a drone, but I’m not sure about the receivers and video transmitters. Will I be able to link my option?
DRONE – iFlight Nazgul5 Evoque F5 F5X Squashed X HD 4S / 5 Inch FPV Racing Drone BNF Caddx Polar Vista BLITZ Mini F7 FC 55A ESC XING2 2207 Motor – 4S FrSky R-XSR Receiver
GOGGLES – DJI FPV Goggles V2
CONTROLLER – FrSky ACCST Taranis Q X7 Radio Transmitter 2.4G 16CH Mode 2 White Black International Version for RC Drone
Thank You Before!
FPV FPV FPV, and what is FPV anyways?
Does that controller work for crossfire receivers?
Great video !!!
$500 for a pair of FPV Goggles…. Anyone who tries to normalize that cost in anyway can not be trusted. Just so we are all on the same page here, Occulus Quest is just $299…. When you consider every single pair of Fatsharks I have seen has been modded to fit the users needs? These mods add up to mnore than the cost of the goggles themselves.
Think about what he actually said in this video, Spend $700+ on a controller and goggles just to spend $100+ batteries on a childs toy to see if you like the hobby? I am not bashing the OP here, he is absolutely correct. Buying a cheap wifi fpv drone and controller is not going to give you the same expierence. Not even close! The other side of that coin is to buy less expensive gear like $100 goggles and a $50 controller is just throwing money away because you will need to buy modules, recievers, and various other upgrades for the cheap gear just to bind and fly with other platforms…
Dont believe the hype, you are going to spend $1k dollars for 2.5 minutes of flight time.
just buy the DJI mini for $300, you will get 31 minutes of flight time on a stable and reliable platform. To get the kind of videos a DJI offers on these DIY/chinese drones you will end up spending $500 on a GoPro…

Damn Shane from "fight tips" has a brother?
I am about to get into Drones, but for me I want to put an Air Tag on mine. That way if I crash I just need to get within 25 ft in order to be able to ping and point to it. Thanks for the Video
thanks m8!
