You all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
You guy's are a good team together explaining the fpv goggle using step by step and easy to understand you guy's. Your video showing how to take it slow really helped, and I think it could help me learn how to fly towards me which would be exciting because my orientation just won't allow me to do that. Thanks guy's! You are a big help👍
Glad I watched this good video. I recently build a quadcopter, and took it for a fly yesterday and crashed it about four times, only from a low height no more than 10ft. It is so different flying acro compared with a DJI with full stability. I was thinking it was my quad, but this vid has shown me its not, its me, I need to learn to fly this beast!!! The part about disarming the quad in flight I think is the most important point in the video.
Just starting my FPV adventure and you two just eased my jitters quite a bit. I am not new to quads but starting to fly acro for the first time. I will be using the Tinyhawk Freestyle to learn with and I have a 5" quad just waiting to spread it's wings later on. Thanks for this most informative video!
Awesome! This video includes some of the same speaking points as my talk at SpinUp. Some of the same basic concepts to introduce the type of drone flight, but instead of so much low-speed turning and hovering I'll probably attempt a more interesting flight demo.
Man, thank you for this video! This is a great tutorial. I want to get into FPV, but it's a little overwhelming to figure out what I need to get and also the basic fundamentals of FPV flying. Thanks you for this.
Shit I need to do that. Get transmitter. I been using Xbox 360 controller lmao.. and think tinyhawk 2 rtf with Google and controller . That controller prob doesn't work on sim Got liftoff and freerider
@@123457chevy I'd suggest getting a flight simulator like Velocidrone on your computer and plugging in your transmitter so you can get a good feel for flying without destroying your Tinyhawk. I didn't practice enough on the simulator and ended up having a hard landing after doing a flip and it seemed to either damage my flight controller or esc's. If you really don't want to use the simulator, try starting in FPV. A lot of the professionals say to start with LOS, but when I tried that I crashed immediately just like you. Then I tried in FPV and found it way easier to stabilize the copter. And if you haven't already, configure it using BetaFlight Configurator so you can calibrate it and tweak some settings. And start of in stability mode so you don't accidentally over correct and flip yourself into a wall.
Ok, for a currently non-FPV pilot that was great. I always wondered how some of the crazy moves are done. Basically I already know how but my DJI drones limit me due to the insane stability built in. Seems like there is a lot of mind work when learning to fly FPV drones
I'm learning how to fly cinamatic with a Mavic Mini, but really want to learn FPV as well. I fly the Mini in Mode 3, but Mode 2 makes more sense for FPV.
Thanks for this. I am yet to touch any kind of drone, but I've ordered a complete RTF TinyHawk bundle and this is going to help me out tremedously. I can't wait to get started.
@@thedawsonian9094 umm i was on vacation when i got it so didnt get to fly much.. but id say a few months to get better and do flips and dives.. started practicxing barrel rolls indoor.. with 7ft ceiling not much room to get it lol.. it is a lot easier to fly outdoors..

I see you posted this a month ago. I'd like to know how your first flight went. I'm waiting on my first fpv mini whoop bundle to be delivered, so my first flight will be soon also.
@Josh S Not so good...it was a very short flight that ended in some repair work. Guess that comes with the territory....I know it doesn't all come together over night so just gotta give it another go and spend some more time in the flight sim. :)
@@dwaynefaison857 Yeah, the SIM was okay for me...but picked it up faster once I started flying the Beta95x myself. Its got quite a bit of power so took it outside but was perfect for what I needed.
Awesome video guys! I want to get into FPV this year (just got my radiomaster controller) and I can't thank you enough for these superb tips for beginners. Cheers!
Wow!!!!’ This video is so amazing thank you, thank you for talking in simple terms and giving amazing examples!! I think I’m going to refer to the video a lot over the next few months. Thank you :-)
Looks a lot more challenging than I bet anyone realizes. I need to try this! Do you have good suggestions on what to buy that is quality but not overkill for getting into FPV?
I'll stick to my Mavic! I thought i'd have a wee look at FPV (just to see) and i have, I think i would be roaring "RUN" and loads of "F F... French" too much if i had all them controls to master! Nice flying though, hats off to ya! 👍
Dude this is fantastic. :) I was just at that park a couple of week ago. Do you guys have periodic gatherings where I can come and just hang out / watch /learn? Just getting started w/ FPV. Thanx!
There's a group of guys that go to Dorothea Dix almost every weekend. Unfortunately the big field is very busy these days. We used to have the place to ourselves for the most part, but since COVID the park has gotten a lot more popular with picnicers/dog walkers. There are a few side areas where we're less likely to run into people. One of the places is behind the fenced in dog park where they dump a bunch of trash/storm debris. If I know of anyone heading out there, I'll try to comment here and let you know.
That is a good help. Thanks. But one question… what is the best way to hold the sticks to get a better control? Sound like one of you holds them with the thumbs on top, and the other holds every stick between the index and the thumb.
A lot of it is how it feels to you. The pinch style might feel weird at first, but I think ultimately it produces smoother flying for me. I started out with thumbs but switched to the hybrid pinch pretty quick.
Hey Ed, slowly getting into the sport of FPV. been flying DJI products and like to see a flight characteristic comparison video. difference in stick behavior/drone flight orientation and how best to transition into FPV. Thanks.
Thanks for the idea! Besides a video which is a great idea, I suggest getting started with a simulator like Liftoff or Velocidrone. They use the same radio that you'd use with your FPV quad, so it's a seamless transition. I recommend the Jumper T16 radio, or the Taranis Q7x as a cheaper but good alternative.
@@EdRickerVlogs Quick update. Went in and did a (more) than a few tweaks to the TinyHawk RTF version. It seem to fly worse so in BetaFlight I saw a 'reset' to original or what I thought would be 'factory' settings but it turns out it wipes ALL the your factory settings in place of...so now I have to start out from the beginning/find the settings 'dump' file, maybe even 'flash' the firmware (not sure if that's necessary) just to start to get back to the beginning. Geez! Learned a lesson there. Email Emax and hopefully they'll get back to me with the appropriate 'dump' file and (thinking optimistically)...a step-by-step procedure to get back to RTF version factory specs. Now there's another good topic for a tutorial Ed! :)
Would you make a video on flying fpv inside empty buildings? And Techniques to keep altitude inside empty buildings while going little slow. Also what was the name of the simulator you got @ 35 seconds
Hey Ed thnx for the great video i am learning how to fly with Goggles.I have a Skyzone Cobra S box goggles and i want to upgrade the antennas theres 2 can you tell me which ones would be best to use?Thank you!,HLato
Sir how to maintain slow speed in my cinewhood quad ???? Sir i learn by u that if tilt down my quad in front then it will run fast ... Sir i saw yr drone run with a very lower speed nd stright not curving too much ... Sir i want this speed nd moves for my vedio shoot ... What tune u use here can u tell me ? I dont like fast quad for vedio shoot ...can u pls teach about cinematic quad tune rates or betaflight settings ?
When you point the right stick up, does the drone start moving up? I'm struggling to understand, I used a simulator where the control is such that if I point the right stick up, the drone goes up .... but when I started using the DJI FPV simulator, the controls are inverted ...
Sounds like you're bouncing back and forth between Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 2 is the standard in the USA with throttle (move up) on the left stick, not the right. At this point you need to decide which one you like better, and start getting consistent. I will say, in terms of buying and setting up most drones, getting accustomed to Mode 2 will make things a lot easier for you in the long run. Most drones/controllers you come across will be in Mode 2 already.
@@EdRickerVlogs I'm using Mode2, but I probably didn't express myself well ... My mistake is that I studied for days in a simulator where the controls are different than on DJI FPV. Now that I'm flying in the Liftoff simulator, I can't make any progress (using controls like the ones on DJI FPV) ... never mind, I won't bother you anymore ... while I used different controls, I flew like a bird, and now I feel like an idiot :(
I have flown dji products and I’ve noticed that almost nobody flys on controller mode 3. That’s what feels natural to me. I see racers mostly use mode 1. Is there a reason? Or am I actually wrong (high chance) is one stick mode more Beneficial than another?
Hi, newbie question I have the DJI FPV controller, goggles, and camera linked to Luminer drone. At 3:05 in video, how do I "arm" and "disarm" it? How do I get the propellors going? Thanks
Did you watch any Joshua Bardwell? He Will reveal all. Took me a straight month to get mine going after making some changes in betaflight all went smooth. On to my second quad now. The obsession is real......
Watched this video multiple times. Coming from a Mavic, this is a whole different story. Started with my Tinyhawk and moved to a wizard x220s. It's easy to want to start doing flips and stalls right away, which is what I did and wound up breaking stuff on the wizard, but that's how you learn to fix your quad and take it easy. Rome wasn't built in a day so just have fun. Also, get a sim. My graphics card isn't the best but freerider will give you all you need and it isn't a graphics hog. If I hadn't tried a sim first I would have had much more to fix.
Hi. I got a controller recently to practice on simulators. I was wondering whether the gimbal on the right should also be loose like the gimbal on the left (throttle). Thanks!
Years ago I flew RC airplanes. It looks like the FPV controls & flight is similar to that, opposed to my DJI P4P controls & flight. Does the flight orientation get confusing for FPV vs your photographic drones?
Hi Chris, The flight styles are so different that the controls don't really get confused from FPV to DJI. Occasionally it'll feel a little odd if I haven't flown DJI in a while, but generally it's not a difficult transition. I also hold the thumbsticks a bit different for DJI controllers. I use strictly thumbs with DJI while I use a bit of my index finger for FPV.
Hey there, I just got a firefly 1s nano baby as my first fun quad. A weird thing I am discoloring is that if I hold the throttle the quad will go back down to earth.. I have to constantly give some throttle and release to hold it on a certain altitude. Does anyone may know a nice setting to fix this in betaflight? :/
I was in the simulator, I keep accidentally throttling up or down when yaw-ing left or right while taking a turn and I just can't fricken take a turn 😂. Ughhhh. Should I change my yaw stick or do you think it just comes with time?
@@EdRickerVlogs tx16s(hall gimbal version), it's my first radio purchase..so I have no clue what the other gimbal feels like. This one has like a clicky feel when throttling up/down.
First time I flew I blew up the throttle flew above my house than I Panik flipped and I had to repair it for the next 2 weeks or so... Nothing broke tho
I've dried Velocidrone, DCL, DRL, Zephyr, and Liftoff. I've found Liftoff multiplayer to be done, and DCL has great graphics. I'm not sure about any newer ones though.
I dont agree on the flight modes part. I have been doing this hobby for 5 years and my biggest mistake was starting to fly in modes. It doesnt give the proper feel and when u go acro mode u need to relearn ur feel and fly. For the rest it was a good tuturial for beginners...
Haha I just don't really get it! I got it a bit with the DJI Goggles actually....I guess because the field of view is so much wider. FatShark goggles have a narrower FOV if I recall, just doesn't really mess with me. Sitting may help too if it affects you.
FPV drones aren't designed or intended to hover and take pictures unfortunately. You're probably looking for a Mavic style drone to do that type of thing and not an FPV drone.
@@EdRickerVlogs I found this item in amazon and also a similar in alibaba and I wonder about this matter: Optical Flow Sensor, Yuenhoang FPV RC Drone Optical Flow Module Hovering Altitude Hold Optical Flow Sensor Balance Visual Position Board for Racing Quadcopter Multicopter Flight Control... My idea was that sometimes I would like to rest 10 seconds, while the drone is stabilized, maybe not to take a picture, but maybe to relax a little bit with the view, without worries about the control. What is that sensor for? Thanks for answer!
Thank you for sharing this great info, I’m videographer on wedding and sweet 16, in I bought my first drone because I will like to have a plus on my videos, I will wondering if you can help me please. My drone is “ iflight Green Hornet 3inch cine whoop 4S FPV with a Receptor FrSky R-XSR ” and I don’t know if that means I need to buy FrSky controller or I can purchase FlySky controller please somebody can help me and which goggles you can recommend me it’s my firs experience.
I would recommend you getting " radiomaster tx16s" as your controller, as for goggles it depends on your budget, for less than 100 you can get the ev800d, an in the 300 range you can choose from skyzone 02c, 02x or 03O ranked from cheapest to best. For top of the line you can get fatshark hdo2's with a rapidfire module but that'll be 600+ bucks. Watch some reviews and you'll find what fits your needs.
It's the BLHeli ESC firmware bootup sequence. The vast majority of ESCs use that firmware type. You can flash something lesser known such as JESC firmware and it'll have a different sound. You can even program your own startup sounds/music if you use BLHeli_32 firmware.

Hi. I got a controller recently to practice on simulators. I was wondering whether the gimbal on the right should also be loose like the gimbal on the left (throttle). Thanks!
Nope, the throttle needs to be loose but not the other gimbal
@@EdRickerVlogs Thank you!
Years ago I flew RC airplanes. It looks like the FPV controls & flight is similar to that, opposed to my DJI P4P controls & flight. Does the flight orientation get confusing for FPV vs your photographic drones?
Hi Chris,
The flight styles are so different that the controls don't really get confused from FPV to DJI. Occasionally it'll feel a little odd if I haven't flown DJI in a while, but generally it's not a difficult transition. I also hold the thumbsticks a bit different for DJI controllers. I use strictly thumbs with DJI while I use a bit of my index finger for FPV.
Hey there, I just got a firefly 1s nano baby as my first fun quad. A weird thing I am discoloring is that if I hold the throttle the quad will go back down to earth.. I have to constantly give some throttle and release to hold it on a certain altitude. Does anyone may know a nice setting to fix this in betaflight? :/
Hey ED I need that chair with the flip up side table, where did you get it?
Hey Todd, here it is! amzn.to/2KrpYcz
I was in the simulator, I keep accidentally throttling up or down when yaw-ing left or right while taking a turn and I just can't fricken take a turn 😂. Ughhhh. Should I change my yaw stick or do you think it just comes with time?
What radio/controller are you using?
@@EdRickerVlogs tx16s(hall gimbal version), it's my first radio purchase..so I have no clue what the other gimbal feels like. This one has like a clicky feel when throttling up/down.
I've just bought my first kit and waiting for it to arrive then I can get out flying

Guys, if you are new to FPV drone flying, you can practice with a drone drone Simulator.
I assume this does not work similarly to DJI with the Altitude hold? GPS locked?
not at all,you are in complete control of these quads
First time I flew I blew up the throttle flew above my house than I Panik flipped and I had to repair it for the next 2 weeks or so... Nothing broke tho
With the sticks does throttle always have to be the one that stays where you leave it?
You can open up the radio and disengage the springs on either gimbal to make them work the way you want them to.
getting my drone tomorrow i’ll update with how it goes
this really helped thanks for the great tutorial
@@jqshual9143 so? How did it go?
I came to clown, then you guys laid it down. Thanks
nice
hey bro.... which Simulator have you used?
I've dried Velocidrone, DCL, DRL, Zephyr, and Liftoff. I've found Liftoff multiplayer to be done, and DCL has great graphics. I'm not sure about any newer ones though.
I dont agree on the flight modes part. I have been doing this hobby for 5 years and my biggest mistake was starting to fly in modes. It doesnt give the proper feel and when u go acro mode u need to relearn ur feel and fly. For the rest it was a good tuturial for beginners...
Are you referring to when we talked about Mode 2?
How do you get past the dizzy feeling? I tried FPV and just felt sick.
Haha I just don't really get it! I got it a bit with the DJI Goggles actually....I guess because the field of view is so much wider. FatShark goggles have a narrower FOV if I recall, just doesn't really mess with me. Sitting may help too if it affects you.
Hi! Whats the name of the sim he's using 0:38 ?
It's called Liftoff, you can find it on Steam
Great video! Thanks! How can I static the drone on air, like to rest, or position the drone to a photo. Do I need a special sensor add-on?
FPV drones aren't designed or intended to hover and take pictures unfortunately. You're probably looking for a Mavic style drone to do that type of thing and not an FPV drone.
@@EdRickerVlogs I found this item in amazon and also a similar in alibaba and I wonder about this matter: Optical Flow Sensor, Yuenhoang FPV RC Drone Optical Flow Module Hovering Altitude Hold Optical Flow Sensor Balance Visual Position Board for Racing Quadcopter Multicopter Flight Control...
My idea was that sometimes I would like to rest 10 seconds, while the drone is stabilized, maybe not to take a picture, but maybe to relax a little bit with the view, without worries about the control. What is that sensor for? Thanks for answer!
Thank you for sharing this great info, I’m videographer on wedding and sweet 16, in I bought my first drone because I will like to have a plus on my videos, I will wondering if you can help me please. My drone is “ iflight Green Hornet 3inch cine whoop 4S FPV with a Receptor FrSky R-XSR ” and I don’t know if that means I need to buy FrSky controller or I can purchase FlySky controller please somebody can help me and which goggles you can recommend me it’s my firs experience.
I would recommend you getting " radiomaster tx16s" as your controller, as for goggles it depends on your budget, for less than 100 you can get the ev800d, an in the 300 range you can choose from skyzone 02c, 02x or 03O ranked from cheapest to best. For top of the line you can get fatshark hdo2's with a rapidfire module but that'll be 600+ bucks.
Watch some reviews and you'll find what fits your needs.
Where did you buy the landing pad???

qualitiy and character of vid would improve if it was chawless. good lessons
Having a spotter is an FAA rule when using fpv goggles.
You must always maintain line of sight with your drone.
I bet you're real fun at parties...
WBrooks530 haha
Once you see the DJI FPV video feed quality, you will never look through those wack goggles lol.
simulator name
I always wonder why all these drones have the same sound when it turns on 😅😅
It's the BLHeli ESC firmware bootup sequence. The vast majority of ESCs use that firmware type. You can flash something lesser known such as JESC firmware and it'll have a different sound. You can even program your own startup sounds/music if you use BLHeli_32 firmware.
@@EdRickerVlogs COOL. Thank you for the info.
Ha! Tdub!
So wish I had watched this 3 months ago. I’ve crashed a lot 🙈
Share this with anyone you know who's just getting started. It may help!
I just ordered tinyhawk 2 to crash in the house alot learning
