That radio will serve you well, the zorro is awsome.

Radiomaster FTW pal. They just work.

youre doing great man, remember little quads are harder to fly, harder to learn on too, dont be fooled by experts going down to tiny quads and flying like a boss, youre learning to riverdance, before youve learned to walk.

RM Zorro all the way man! Your videos are brilliant and so relatable haha, I started flying a few months ago and I love your content

your editing and narration skills are top notch! 😀

Brilliant flying, filming, and editing Granny. Especially for only being a few months in. I've subbed. Your content is informative, interesting, and entertaining. I think every FPV pilot can identify with your story if we're honest. Fly, crash, repair, repeat. It's our common journey. Happy flying amigo 🫡 🍻.

This is awesome. I've lost drones. A car drove over one after it flew away after arming and later that week my only other tiny whoop inexplicably died. I've also had a gimbals that broke and I could never get them calibrated again. I've since learned that when you calibrate gimbals you should only go up and down/left and right. You shouldn't spin them around in circles like how sims want you to do it. These videos are awesome. Keep making them and good luck.

Keep going. You'll get to a point where you'll know really well what you can and can't get away with and the "can" portion of that will grow ever larger the more you practice. You'll start having really dynamic flights where you just kinda know that you won't crash and then you can decide what kind of flying is worth crashing over.

The pain is so relatable. Glad to see you're not backing down! Remember to get your daily stick time in the sim :D

really enjoyed this video, especially because i started fpv aswell with the cetus x kit about 3 months ago, buying a new radio was a good desicion! I got myself the radiomaster boxer now, a meteor65 is on the way... and btw, I destroyed 2 cam modules already, and dropped into a small river, luckily without dammage. Just keep practising, get that stick time and don't stop!!!

Great video bro. A lot of creativity and editing in that. I like your format, humorous, instructive and entertaining.

Great video Granny.. I dig it watched from start to end.. good work.

I love your content! Never stop

not sure how I ended up here but I'm glad i did! :) great vlog man! the learning curve with FPV is steep... it's also a kind of a gateway to other expensive hobbies like 3D printing and photography. but all the time you put in is worth it! your flying gets better, your soldering gets cleaner and repairs become less frequent.

I'm having fun watching you fly. I remember my beginner flights. But you're definitely much better than me. You made me feel that first time rush experience. Oh and I also broke alot in my beginner days. Gopro 6, cinelog 35 frame, aio, bunch of props, antenna, vtx, runcam orange, runcam thumb pro.. The list goes on 😂 Man keep it up. Hope you get to digital too. You're gonna see all those branches

Keep at it bro. The micros are brutal and can get frustrating but are great fun. My advice is get a sub 250g 3.5” you can fly them almost anywhere and they’re easier to learn. Do yourself a favour and stay out of angle/horizon mode, it teaches bad habits if your end goal is acro freestyle. Zorro is a great choice but battery is a bit shite, you can set a sim specific model and turn off the transmitter which will vastly improve the battery between charges when using the sim.

nice video man! micros are hard but you can have a lot of fun with them!

J’adore tes vidéos mec! C’est vraiment génial ce que tu fais! Je vis aussi parfois les frustrations ( Je viens encore de casser un vtx) Je comprend complètement ce que tu ressent. Mais tout ça c’est si fgénial. pour moi c’est mieux que le rêve lucide . Tes vidéos m’inspire beaucoup et je me renseigne pour un meteor 85 walksnail 🤩 Thank you man!

I understand the feelings you went through this video more than I want 🤣 I used a beta FPV LiteRadio 2 SE that had a yaw jitter almost immediately. Unfortunately it’s a potentiometer problem and not software but my muscle memory is built around having to jiggle the yaw. You definitely earned me as your 300th sub. I can’t wait to see your progress

When I fried my Tinyhawk, one of the batteries got knocked out so the beeper also didn't work, this also caused a short circuit from the remaining battery. A neighborhood cat who loves to chase my drones led me to the crash site. I knew something was wrong when the cat wouldn't approach it. I could hear an electrical ticking sound and then saw smoke coming out of the bushes. Got back inside and realized my remote gimbal was broken too in the sim. It was a sad day. Which also occurred mid April

Granny Noggins!! So cool to stumble on to your channel (I'm Mode 4 on Uncrashed..). Sweet vlog! I have discovered reservoirs of patience in this hobby..thanks for posting your adventures.

I have quit a dozen times, and then find the patience and time to pick it up again.

Been in the hobby since 2019, I've gone through so many FC's VTX's etc... the struggle is real, but so are the rewards!

Enjoying the essay videos! Dude! It's like we are living parallel FPV experiences. I'm about six months in and the epiphanies, the lessons, the highs and lows. It's so accurate. Yes - get away from that BetaFPV Controller! I started with that Cetus X kit too but the Zorro should fix all your woes. After I upgraded from the BetaFPV controller to the Radiomaster Pocket it's like night and day. Also - I learned flying ducted quads only and have recently had that "a-ha" moment with open prop quads, micro and a 2.5 inch.

LOL! Great video , keep at it!

This was super entertaining. I can relate to a bunch of what you are going through. Hope the zorro works out well.

Can confirm UK has abysmal, rotten water, despite endless supply from sky.

I empathize with you. Subscribed 😁✌️

I've been flying since 2017 and I "quit" every month or two... I think the frustration is what makes the successes so sweet!

Hey man, good to see you post again :-) I think were on a similar path, started at same time. My issue today is was poor vtx range, got a few drones now and I'm starting to suspect my goggles, they are old and second hand. Not getting much further than 100/150m. Not too much of an issue as I can practice close but makes me paranoid to reach out or fly over water. Would love a big open field like that, still sussing out spots to fly. Anyhoo glad that you look to be back on track, looking forward to the next vid, all the best.

awesome video, relatable frustration

Well played!

I clicked on this thinking that it was a old raggy woman with stupidly bad eye sight that is doing fpv XD but great vid!

one tip I got from headz (infinity loop) on rate profile turning is make the rate to match you instead of training muscle memory. 1. Use controller in a flight sim of choice. 2. Close your eye to do half flips / full flips (pitch, roll, yaw). 3. Adjust the rate so when you open the eye the quad is exactly you want it to be. My key take away is that my roll and pitch rate is slightly different. but that adjustment made a world of difference.

Haha I loved that,went through that a long time ago(Glad that's behind me)Top tip don't throw your broken gear away because when you eventually see the light and only fly five inch you will be that far into the hobby you will be able to save a lot of them,ie I saved four of six mobula 6s by removing moss fets with a heat gun,l won't fly the horrible little shits five inch only remember and that's my point when you don't give a shit your hand stops shaking and you're soldering super improves.l could just say just fly five inch in tree spots and on the sim,save your self the grief and money but in the long run I think you're on the right path.happy flying fella

Good luck with the Zorro, this should give you a sane baseline ;) .. and your bench looks alot like mine

Congratulations on the Zorro, it'll do so much better for you. But that horizontal wobble when you were both in angle and air mode is pretty janky. Not sure if it's a pid thing or just the whoop but it must make it harder i would imagine. Good luck on the journey, I'm a few months in as well and that china wait is rough. Working up from whoop to 2" so far and waiting on a crux3" 1s and a crux35 to get here for weeks now. Trying to work my way up to a 5" while learning.

Ohh dear, sorry for that Cetus x!

Don’t feel in confident because you fly tiny whoops. I went from flying tiny. Whoops to 5 inch. And now I’m back on tiny. Whoops again. I am absolutely obsessed and in a tiny whoop phase again. I’ve been getting 1S quads and parts for the past few months now. I think once you go to 5 inch and you fly for a while and then go back to micros, you come to really appreciate how agile you can be with a micro and really how aerobatic they are. You have a lot of control with micros. Keep your head held high. The 5 inch guys aren’t laughing at you, they actually think that the micro you have is pretty sweet. Even if you think it’s just a stupid toy because you’ve flown in 1 million times.

your Cetus x frame covered in grass and shit too like mine 😂😂

Yo @Granny, I only been watching for a minute and I can tell you already this platform is all you bro!!! I love it, try it for a while please its a great video man

big fan of the zorry hope it works for ya brother

Thank God, you got a Zorro!!! Just keep the literadio as back up.

MY LITERADIO 3 STARTED DOING THAT GLITCHY STUFF RIGHT AFTER I MADE MY REVIEW VIDEO! 😂 time to get thw radiomaster boxer for me lol.

poor drone O_o oh well, hope the Zorro keep em drones dry :)

Yeah, I've lost 2 7" qwads. Both WITH a gopro and high quality builds. Both over $1000. Not to mention how many helis I've crashed over the past 15 years. And planes, and cars. It's part of it man. It's what makes the hobby rewarding.

vlogtastic

Yeeeeeeih! Happy to see more Granny 😊

Zorro will change your life !

Your frustration is not lost on me brother! I did the opposite of you, I jumped in head first into a super powerful 6S 5.1" beast of a quad as my first flyer!! I felt absolutely out of control, all of the time Even when I didn't crash... LoL 😂. The absolute hardest part of learning to fly for me was finding rates that suited me. I went fast, i went slow, I did no expo, I did all the expo, the result just always felt "OFF" & I felt disgusted every time I watched one of the pros on KZfaq. I thought.... 🤔 Do I just suck more than everyone else at this?! 😂😂😂 The answer is, No. We all suck terribly at first. It's not something that comes natural. Unfortunately. But hang in there mate! One day you will get it just right & it'll just lock in kinda. It'll feel better & you'll say to yourself, HEY, OK.. I CAN DEAL with this. 😊. Then the true learning begins. But it's soooo much more fun after it clicks. LoL. Good luck & have fun!

Resonates! 😂

If you can swing the cash the radiomaster pocket is an amazing controller thats def worth the price Edit: Nvm :) also when doing a flying/facecam you should minimize one and stick it in the corner of the other just for clarity

I learned that you sometimes dont have to update your controller when you get it. The only time you gotta update is when one is on version 2.x and the other is on 3.x. if your controllee is on 3.0 and the drone reciever is on 3.5, they will still bindand work fine. All you gotta do is put the binding phrase.

My first quad was the meteor 85. I crashed it and retained the components. I learnt to solder micro electronics with its FC. It was a painful experience but then I learned to avoid crashing at all costs. That’s the fpv hobby for you.

artist reconstruction :D

the meteor65, a caddx ant lite failed soldering and a pouch of rollies. very familiar.

Have you recalibrated your stick endpoints in betaflight? Probably better to just use that Zorro.

I am a newbie too, good info, thanks, Look into roll rates? good luck.

Dude, I got the DJI Avata 2. I am into using FPV for inspection of my farmland, house gutters, etc... not the swoopy duppy stuff. Highly recommend it.

Do you know what you need to do. As you need to purchase a radio master Zorro or pocket. It’s going to be a complete 180 difference from the literadio you have. I used to be all about the betaFPV radios. The Zorro was a night and day difference.

I was expecting to see a 81-97 year old lady

I bought the Cetus X kit mid march... The VTX overheats really easily and within 2 weeks the camera burnt out. The goggles display also started doing something weird. BetaFPV sent me a new camera, which now works again (for how long...) I upgraded my controller from hearing a lot of these problems....... Fun fact, I disarmed my Darwin Cine25 high up in the sky because my muscle memory was for the BEtaFPV and not the radiomaster pocket... Broke my runcam. thumb. The DarwinFPV Cine25 seems bullet proof. 259 subs... If you keep at this you'll be making 10p a month no problemo.

which antenna did you put on your goggles?

5:25 I always try to give beginners the option too try an 5in, so I think it is a pity they didn't let you fly one of theirs :)

im a year and a half in and i still dont have the balls over water lol. keep it up though

Dont go in!! I went in 50 degree water after a drone enough times for both of us and I never got it, just say good bye man... Its a learning experience

You have a mighty good picture for no antennas on your goggles??? Or am I blind?

goggles need a botgrinder sticker

this is me 1 year ago

Much like other expensive hobbies…you get what you pay for.

Tune your quad rates in betaflight

Hey granny, I have a friend in England that needs some guidance into the fpv world. I don’t know if you might be able to help guide him. I shared your channel with him but he might need to talk to you personally if that’s okay.

LiteRadio 3 sucks. LiteRadio 3 Pro is dope. Also, I learned to not blame my hobby for my stupidity lol.

Cetus X starter kit is what i started with aswell....and it was shit! almost made me quit aswell. I lost my cetus in a pond 50ft from me after losing ELRS Connection. Zorro is 10000x Better. the betafpv Controller is essentially useless IMO

Can I have the camera lol

Looks like your rates are wrong
