Haha love to see you getting into FPV man! Whatever works for you, go for it but most of us start in a simulator, then go outside, and after lots of experience, finally try to fly indoors. You’re learning in reverse 😂😂
@brandon9689 2 ай бұрын
A simulator is very worth using, at any level of experience. I got DRL for $7 on sale on Steam. I had to use a wired gaming controller, my wireless did not work for some reason. You can learn a ton using just a basic gaming controller. However using one long term isn't good for building good throttle control.

Flying “manual mode” (more commonly known as acro mode) is extremely difficult for even the most experienced pilots when flying line of sight (without the goggles). Definitely recommend putting the goggles on if you’re going to try acro 🤙🏼

I feel like in general the whole thing is easier when flying from the googles! I'm still terrible at it, but I do a whole lot better in the googles!

I’m just getting into it as well, had control problems in the beginning as well try the “pinch technique” with the joysticks, it really helps in making little movements

Biggest advice: get a simulator. Velocidrone and Liftoff are the most popular, Uncrashed and Tryp and up and coming and look amazing, DRL Sim is the best for racing simulation. All in all, Uncrashed is probably the easiest and cheapest to just pick up and get learning. As much as people tell you to look into it right away, ignore rates, ignore feeling like you need to build your own, ignore messing around too much with betaflight. That’s 1-2 years after you start kinda stuff. Find a large open area to practice (once you’ve put MINIMUM 10 hours in the simulator) and start with circling objects, small loops, and rolls. Then from there, you go in DEEP, take a second mortgage on your home, buy a drone to lift a Blackmagic 6K, and change your whole career convincing yourself you’ll be flying in the next Michael Bay movie… you’ve got this!

I've heard about Liftoff from a friend! That would solve this battery issue too. These things are crazy fun, but man do they burn through batteries! Just applied for a second mortgage, so I'm ready to buy my big kit later this year🤣

100% exactly what they said. That's what I did from zero to at least not crashing an avata in a month or so. Drl is most fun but liftoff feels more realistic.its like $20, no Brainer.

Hey, you should use your pointer finger and your thumbs on each control stick, it will be much easier to control them with just the thumbs like on a mavic

Hi great video and I own the Cetus Pro kit and I find the same I'm always charging battery's and getting maybe 2 mins pre battery because my area gets high winds and the drone has to fiight the wind more so it drains the battery faster I also own a Meteor 75 Pro a little bigger drone then the Cetus Pro but still same problem you fight the wind to much and fly less big dissapointment I was hopeing to fly outside more but I can't due to the winds and I need to get a bigger drone like a 3 to 5 inch prob drone so way more $$$.

Good luck in your fpv journey. A great drone KZfaqr is Captain Drone. He’s from Canada so he follows Canadian rules, which I believe are stricter than US rules but not sure. However, he does was drones is pretty much how you do camera videos.

also when you said that we fly them crash them and have to pay a bunch to rebuild them i wouldn't say that is totally true. We do crash but unless it is insanely bad we can just put a new pair of props on and do a few minor repairs and we are good

Best low entry way to get into the hobby is buy a transmitter and start in a sim. Crash all you want and then when you have the confidence work your way into buying a BNF or building one.
@HEYVIET 2 ай бұрын
Agree with others about getting a controller then hitting up some realistic simulators like Liftoff. However, for real “screw your instruction manual/i’ll find my own directions” manly men….you should still use a sim haha. But seriously, I am just as impatient when I tried FPV the first time too….except I went ahead and bought the whole kaboodle…..Walksnail Goggles X with a BetaFPV Pico 20 (to be fair, I’ve flown RC Hell’s before….this is still harder). There is actually a model below your Cetus drone that costs a little over $200…..but I could not stand analog 1980’s VHS mode, hence my expensive learning choice. I’m not sure if you can PID Tune your Cetus as I’ve never used Ready to Fly beginner kits, but a really really good way to start if you are going to go Rambo in FPV, is to dial down your Thrust strength for Angle and/or Horizon mode and then add a little bit of easing so you don’t get the jerky spastic liftoff…..then slowly keep raising the power as you get more comfy. This will prevent you from taking off like a rocket and will allow you to find your hover zone much quicker also. Good luck though, I’m still zipping around my house with my Pavo20 and havent gotten into tricking yet (attempted a roll, and went full throttle sideways into the wall). Which brings me to another point…..PAD YOUR CAMERA lol. Either use a little bit of Blue Tack putty around the cam, or get an ND Filter that will at least protect your camera lens. Good luck bud, and Godspeed. You’re in for a long journey!
