NOTIFICATION SQUAD! The rest of the videos in this playlist haven't been published yet! So in the end screen when I tease the next video, it's not available if you're watching on release day.

The most comprehensive instructions for Betaflight I have been able to find. INAV users will also benifit as many features are similar. Bardwell does not presume previous knowlege so his videos are beginner friendly, yet he covers very advanced topics. He is a natural teacher, and these videos are always entertaining as well as informative. Thanks JB!

Perfect timing. I just bought my first FPV Quad and now I wanted to learn Betaflight. This series will help a lot! I am ready for the next episode.

A friend of mine and his son are just entering the world of fpv quad building/flying and video series like these are an incredibly important resource, thank you for putting together this series. Betaflight, EdgeTX, BLHeli, etc are all pretty daunting to newbies and tutorials and video manuals like this are what's going to keep this hobby growing.

i know that you get this allot... but your videos are simply awesome.! I got hooked on FPV when my son-in-law introduced me to the hobby a month ago. I am not going through the process of leaning on a simulator (uncrashed for now) and waiting for everything to get delivered from Banggood... Big thanks (and keep up the great work)

I feel like I'm making the transition from dji drones to real acro quads at the right time. I've been taking a little from all the KZfaqrs explaining Betaflight and no one has talked it in my language yet until now. This series will be a hit for sure. Can't wait for the other videos.

Joshua, this was SO helpful! I'm fairly new to FPV drones, and having you walk me through this was invaluable!

Wow!! What an amazing, professional and profound work you are doing here to the FPV community. Absolutely stunning job! I wish I had such a detailled video approx. 3.5 years ago on my first build. I am sure that this series will be the 'manual' into FPV for bew pilots. Congratulations and a big THANK YOU!! 🔥🙌🔥

You can't imagine how much you helped me as a noob - and especially how much you took away my fear of all the options betaflight offers. Your tips on DJI, Taranis, OpenTX and TBS are extremely valuable. Admittedly, it took a whole week to set up transmitter, goggles and copter, but thanks to your easy-to-follow tutorials and step-by-step instructions, everything worked the first time - or you referred me to another of your tutorials that solved the problem. Fantastic content, priceless! Thank you so much for making it so easy to get into the hobby! I can't wait to crash my drone for the first time so I have a good reason to watch "2022 Freestyle FPV Drone Build (DIY Kit For Total Beginners)" :)

For Linux guys - you will need to do two things. 1. Make sure your user is in a group that allows full control access to serial ports. Typically it will be called something along the lines of "serial", "modem", or "dialout". You can discover this by running "ls -l /dev/ttyS*" - and see what group those devices are assigned to. 2. Make sure you have the dfu-util package installed. Use your Linux flavor package manager software. If the correct package is installed, you should have a utility in your path called "dfu-tool"

This was so good. It is exactly like you said, most videos are focused on a specific build and skips over some parts. I learned so much from this. Thank you and I am looking forward to the rest!

Hands down the best betaflight tutorial ever!! Very beginner friendly and definitely kept my brain from exploding!! 🤣🤯 no seriously! 😳

This video has and still is working miricals for me. I can now understand what my quad is telling me which allows me to make necessary changes/adjustments during my flights. It's also made flying more fun because it allows me to be even more engaged during my long-range flights. I'm not just alone for the flight but flying which makes it even more enjoyable. Thanks for making me a pilot!

What a beautiful explanation, we noobs are so thankful you’re here, otherwise we probably wouldn’t be for long

It's spelled I²C because it's a square (²). Given it's also known as IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit); now the square starts to make sense.

I love this series so far JB!! With the first one you helped me get my first build loaded up with 4.3!! I've watched your channel for over a year now and just finished my first build a few days ago. I was a little bummed cuzz I couldn't get my brand new FC in boot- loader mode. After watching your vid, I realized I wasn't putting it in boot for the driver fixer, which finally worked and now I've been ripping up the beach and diving hotels with my first build and can't believe how good it flies! Thanks for everything you do! Thanks to your channel and your discord I can now say I've built my own quad!! Itsblunty has been supper helpful on discord too!

Haven't flown since before COVID. Needed a proper refresher course on BF setup. This did the job thank you.

I’ve been in the hobby for three years now but I still struggle with the computer side of the hobby. Thanks for your videos that help walk me through and get me back in the air!👍🏽🤙🏽😃

thank you so much, you saved me from buying a new aio and resoldering everything. I accidentally flashed it and couldn't figure out why i cant put new firmware on it. turns out i just needed that impulse driver fixer. love your videos, so helpful.

You are such a good human for making this series. THANK YOU!!! On to Episode 2!!!

Thank you Sir Bardwell. Been out of the loop for a few years and trying to make a comeback.

You are the hero of every fpv beginner.

Brilliant Series! Only the comfort of having quads that fly to my satisfaction and laziness holds me back from plugging in the flight controller from an ill fated iFlight CineBee to start the process of bringing it back to life. All I need is a few rainy days to get started ... 😷

Joshua, this is fantastic, this is the info. I’ve been wanting to know for a long while now, knowing what all the bits of info. that I’ve always just skimmed over and didn’t understand makes so much more sense now, and helps me understand BetaFlight in a way I’ve never known. Thanks so much. Got to go over to part 2 now. 👍👍

so I'm new to fpv and only been flying for a few months now and this video just helped me out so much because I was having trouble getting my firmware to flash over. I thought I bet Bardwell will have a video on it and boom. That impulse rc fixed me right up

Have not flied for a few years, getting back into it super useful to review, thanks JB!

Awesome! Awesome!! Awesome!!! I think you can see that this series is and will be awesome and amazing for us to FULLY understand Betaflight. I'm sure like many others, I avoid using some Betaflight options because I don't fully understand them. This series illustrates and illuminates what Betaflight has to offer. Thank you for all your time, efforts and discipline in making this series!

This is finally starting to make a little sense to me. Thank you so much from a 76 year old noob. :)

many thanks Josh, saving me so much time with all your videos. You're amazing for all the work

Your a angel ! Turned out my EMAX Tinyhawk 3 plus analoog series needed lots of love and care, had the windews bug to with the filmware XD

6:00 awesome just my 5th download/update for my "bind and fly" setup.

I think you forgot the Adjustments tab in this tutorial, it's changed in 4.3 and pretty vague guidance from anyone else I could find discussing it. I finally found a video you made on it in 2019 that cleared things up for me.

I'm new but not my first build, but my first build where I didn't get drunk thank you.

You’ve read my mind. Or you have been following my questions on Beginning FPv. Either way, this is why you’re the man. I was hoping to find a video or webpage that just goes through everything in Betaflight 4.3 and explains what it does. THANK YOU!!

As usual JB youu go above and beyond explaining everything to your best abilities that i knw of!!.. thank you for alll the time n effort you put into your content.i hate tv controll typing soGod bless !!

You are absolutely correct! Especially for a 70 year old antique. Thanks!

Been mostly winging it in between what I've learned from other videos here and there, so this is an awesome video and series. I've already learned a thing or two about betaflight so it's most appreciated.

Joshua I know this a older post by you but I have enjoyed your lessions very much....Thank You Steve

All the Details included. Excellent!. -Glad to have this comprehensive JB explanation of Beta-Flight 4.3! Thanks.

Doing first build and have to wait on a data cable now. Hopefully this walkthrough series has what I need or Ile have to e mail you. 100 times

Man, I am pretty new in FPV, but your videos are reaaally helpful. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!!!!

@Joshua Bardwell I have been learning and watching your videos over 2 years, and Im glad you created a series like this is so helpfull and keeps us updated. Thank you for your teachings FPV Quad Master🙏

Just a simple thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us and making this a super fun hobby!!

Its always nice and get the lowdown on all the options and features from someone with years of experience. Awesome! Wish I had this video 8 months ago when I started flying. Despite already knowing enough to get my quad in the air - I still learned a ton.

Get your kid a drone for Christmas they said. It will be fun they said. Jan 17 still nothing in the air... But i think were close. These videos are amazing.

Thank you JB. I'm in the air because of your hard work on this playlist

Your Videos helped me build my FPV and install betaflight ,thanks alot for all these great how to's

Great video really cleared up a lot of questions

Thank goodness for a real 'save backup' button in betaflight for the cli! Awesome overview, worth just listening to even for long time betaflight users. I wondered about the magnetometer button, and for some reason I missed the 'options' section to permanently enable expert mode. Got that set now!

Hands down, this is the most informative tutorial on YT. Thank you so much ❤

I started on pt 2, quickly learned to start at pt 1 lol. Thanks J.B. Your videos keep us sain.

This is the most informative YT channel. Very well done Joshua!!!

A lot of folks needed this, great content. I have a buddy I'm referring to this series and JB in general for sure.

5: 10 After these years I never got charge only cable with my phone, that few I got was with some power bank or bought later from 3rd party, in thought is also a data cable.

Now THIS is awesome!! Looking forward to watching and studying the rest of this series. Thank you JB for all you do!

Very timely and informative. Wish I had seen this 2 years ago…and I am going to learn something. Keep up the tremendous work, JB

It's the perfect bedtime video and it doesn't mean boring. It's just soothing after a day.

I'm excited about going thru all parts of your awesome videos!!!

I just found this. I was ready to throw it all away, then dig it out and try some more

Your such a legend jb thank you for what you do keeeping the dream of pilots alive my name is farshad maleky and your gonna get thanked today 🙏🏼

Hi, joshua I'm noobie but I just experiment with quad FC, to make it work with airplane type and one problem is that after remapping motor doesn't work,so I was remapping it with servo output 😂and it works but there is a twist without arm it will start with throttle input. I know it's a bypass but it works with Rc throttle 07 source I'd. 🎉 This knowledge we get from your channel so it's huge thanks 👍😅😅

Thank you so much for these videos! My first time in fpv 💚

Just thought I would say that watching your videos is not just educational and informative but fun and entertaining to watch. Could be your voice or tempo of your speech, not sure what but it seems to work for me! I am a fresh off of the boat newbie that has an engineering degree and decades of experience in RC with helis and RC cars, etc, yet I have to admit I have struggled to get some things working... what can I say. The FPV quad market is quite different than RC cars, planes, even helis, it seems as there is much more to these things which is ok but wow, not easy for someone just starting out! f you get a quad, radio, goggles, etc I have found so far that the item likely will not come with any instructions which forces you to hit the web to find the answers and that is not always as straight forward as it should be. Often I have found that the manufacturers own websites are missing data or are behind in revisions have instructions that are not helpful or simply don't have any info available at all further adding to the confusion and difficulty getting your quad in the air. It is awesome to have someone like you with your ton's of knowledge and excellent ability to inform and instruct and I do appreciate it and I have purchased a few of my items with your affiliate links, they ar going to the places I plan to buy from anyway so it is all good.

So excited for this vid I liked before I heard anything gonna binge all the episodes now.

If you don't know your target, I did some research and came up with this, go to the cli and type in, "version" and press enter 🙂

M Fyling FPV since 6 years. There is presumably nothin new for me in this video. I'm still gonna watch it. Just in case. And because I enjoy watching your videos.

OMG Thank you so much! This helped me restore lost gyro functionality after i accidentally hit 'reset settings' on the main screen. This software is not for the complete novice HAHAHA

Best drone channel on KZfaq By far Thanks Joshua bardwell

Thanks for what you do. Taking me years to understand all this. Still have not got a smart quad in air

It is a compendium of knowledge for beginners. Thanks Josh!

For anyone getting the cannot detect port during flashing just install the IRC driver fixer and scan. Worked a dream

Thanks a lot Joshua for all the amazing videos on your channel, I just completed this playlist for my first ever drone that I built, probably couldn't have done it without your work

Nice one Joshua all your videos are so informative and a massive help to the BF community this will be a great series to all.

Wow that's an exceptionally useful series of videos. Great job Mr. Bardwell!

I just started watching this channel and I love your videos. Great guides, great explanations, keep it up!

Just pulled out an old 99%build ... My last time was BF3.1.1 thanks for sharing

Excellent content ! Greetings from Brazil !

Thanx Joshua , this video Is pure Gold

Man super awesome video sir! Bought a Nazgul 5 v2 a year ago and still haven't flown it yet because of trying to figure out this beta flight stuff....lol

The way you are explaining leaves no room for errors and confusion. Thank you Brother

LOVE your explanations

JB amazing tutorial and slowly working through all parts. 👍

Damn, that was cable!!! Thank you Sir, now I'm ready to fly.

Thank you JB, your explanation is very clear. Keep spirit and healthy always. 👍😊🔥🔥🔥

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks a million for all the vids you make man. With your help and the advice from a guy who happened to be flying near my place I was able to get my only drone back in the air after weeks of being down. I felt like a dumbass for not knowing I had to check motor direction after swaping one but newbie is as newbie does 😅. Much appreciated

I always forget to hit the like button. thanks for reminding me :)

Great video Joshua, thanks for sharing

incredible content as always

I initially got so excited knowing that JB was going to take this in baby steps for me and I was finally going to be able to update some firmware on my flywoo f722… evidently I got excited too soon. It’s looking like the old firmware remains for now. 1, there’s no bootload button, following other instructions I simply used Impulse RC to circumvent the issue. I’ve now received a “unexpected multiple flight controller” error. Another frustrating 8 hours has come and gone… I’ll be waiting on the next series that hopefully fixes what I cannot

Awesome been waiting for this video all up to date

Great video as always bro

I've spent weeks trying to figure out why Betaflight doesn't show my FC in DFU mode but it shows up in FS mode. After trying tens of usb cables, 3 different computers, android phone I finally thought to try the oldest USB port I could find on my PC. USB 2 and bam instantly detected and I can finally flash my damn FC. Now I can actually follow this video completely lol

Lol the USB cable thing definately was my first hurdle, swapping it made my new thing appear

I have Windows 11 home on three different PC's and none of them had the STM32 Virtual ComPort driver installed. I ended up using a 10 yr old Macbook as it was the easiest route. I wasn't to keen on registering with STM just to acquire a driver.

My lord this would have been a difficult process with out you. Thank you again,

Fantastic, Joshua! Thanks a bunch! 😊 I hope Betaflight 4.3 is out soon! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Welp, guess i owe this guy some money for the hours of frustration his videos have saved me! Well done, sir.

Thanks you so much Joshua. That the kind of videos i was looking for

If you on Mac Pro m1 you probably should use USB-TypeC to regular USB cable thought adapter since Type-C to Type-C cable often doesn't work (even with cable for data transferring.

For Mac OS you need to open betaflight from the finder. Right click the app and click open.
