    The controlled itself is available with frsky protocoll too, and OpenTx you can bind to all d8 d16 d16lbt. Then get the a meteor 65 1s bt2.0 brushless, and the cheap goggle. That's what they should sell in this set. And that's actually worth every penny. Also think beginner kits should come pre bound and set-up. +Low rates.😉

    after playing the sim for about a month i ordered this and got it today. i set it up , crashed it in the apartment two or three times and first the propeller cover cracked , then the little stick that attaches the propeller to the cover came loose. this thing is really cheap although it flew pretty nice for the little while it held up. i dont recommend this for indoors or anywhere thats not grass and has no crashing dangers. atleast for a beginner. you would think they would make something really durable knowing a rookie is going to be hitting ceilings and crashing walls like a beast. other than that the headset worked way better than i thought and the remote was nice as well. im going to try crazy gluing everything back into place and hope it works :) lol.

    I own one of these kits. I can post some pretty crappy DVR footage if y'all wanna see it outside on a day with wind. It's honestly been pretty nice. You can enter the OSD and change PIDS and rates. I've managed to learn in acro from the start.

    • @luckypennybenny
      @luckypennybenny 4 роки тому +2

      @@arekporong_08 Have you figured out the switches for different modes? I found that there are two acro modes. A high and a low. The low should be both right hand switches all the way down with top left switch in middle position. As for PIDS I recommend leaving them be unless you want to swap to props out config. However, rates can be dropped pretty easily. Hold the left stick in the middle and move the left stick to far left and the right stick up. When it pulls up the menu scroll down to rates with the right stick then flick right. Now write down all the stock numbers and then drop them 50-100. You can definitely leave yaw alone though that will help you turn well, while not wobbling trying to keep it semi flat as you fly. I also recommend you take it outside to start. Being able to just take off and have plenty of room to stabilize is best. If you're really struggling try level mod but, struggling through the acro learning curve will be good in the long run. Flying level after acro is pretty easy. Fly acro after level not so much

    Great suggestion, thanks for the great video, it made my decision to get into FPV, loved all the kit, besides the remote. I just want to leave a warning to other buyers seeing this, if possible please avoid the new SE version as it comes with the SE version of this radio. Besides being more expensive It is not as good as the “normal” one, the student port is disabled, it doesn’t have OpenTx, and there is no software to adjust axis like for throttle limiting. And in my case the gimbal stopped working after 10hours of use.

    edit:
    I also tried out the 5 blade prop that you mentioned on your last video in a flywoo chasers frame and honestly it doesn't have that much of an improvement. It might be interesting to see a video comparison on as many cinewhoo props that you can get your hands on, and seeing which one performs the quietest? I absolutely can't use racing 3" props indoors because I would have to give actors noise cancelling headphones for them not to have actual hearing damage lol. My best experience so far has been with lower pitch HQ cinewhoop props.

    The beta65 lite is hands down the best brushed whoop on the market, bar none. It's right out of the bat one of the cheapest 65mm brushed whoops. The build quality is excellent, and it has the powerful 7mm motors which really haul butt. The frame is also unbreakable. I flew my beta65 lite for two hours a day, four days a week, for a year before the motors finally wore out. And by then, I had crashed it a few thousand times... with nothing worse to show for it other than a cracked canopy.
    ...
    The bayang protocol is really a wonderful protocol. It's lower latency than frsky, so a whoop racer would really benefit. The silverware flight control software is in my opinion vastly superior to even a tuned version of betaflight. And when you add NotFastEnuff silverware, this thing really screams. The camera is great too.
    I really think the beta65 lite is the pinnacle of brushed whoops. I would get one, and a jumper t12 or t16 to control it. Trust me you won't regret it!

    It sounds like failure after failure. Firmware has no access. No angle limits and brushed setup (is it still 2016?). My 9 year old couldn't help herself but using full sticks all the time before she started to gain control. Latency. Radio binds only to this exact quad. Honestly most boys or girls receiving this will be heading into a wall as soon as they build their real first quad. Emax has way more to offer as the gate into FPV. What was BetaFPV thinking? $80 or less maybe for this. $129 and after the first month or so they will need to start spending when they realize they should have had an Emax bundle.

      I think, from my personal experience with brushed tiny whoops like that, the durability is lacking. It's a short matter of time until the motors wear out etc. Plus, flying acro on that looks near impossible.

      @justvoorfun I have a dead fc board too, but not to any manufacturing it design defect - one got ESC burned after trying to fly with debris b stuck in a prop and other was bitten though by my dog :) I have other tree drones based on the same board (TH2, TH2 Race and TH2 Freestyle) which fly fine for quite some time now. I do agree it is a pain to replace an entire $60 integrated board after single busted ESC, but this is true for every tinywhoop style drone. This is the price we pay for miniaturization.

    • @JoshuaBardwell

      The fact that the FrSky version of the radio exists doesn't matter since it's not a part of the kit that is being reviewed in the video. If I were doing a separate review of the literadio then it'd be different.

  • @scooterfpv8864

    Tell ya what. This woulda been a good starter for me back in the day. I did the cell phone FPV thing with the 2.4 Ghz live camera feed from the toy grade camera multirotor for learning FPV Spatial awareness. In hindsight that was a BIG mistake because of the video feed latency was up to 1 second, and I trained my reflexes to that. Well over a year or two later to this day flying the realtime FPV hobby grades I am having to consciously retrain my muscle memory reflexes because of those "first days" learning experiences over compensating obstacle avoidances. I'm still having fun though but I believe for the price of this product as thoughtfully considered (compared to what I started with) in this video I would recommend this to my friends whom would wish to occasionally dabble in the Epicness that is FreeStyle MultiRotor FPV ..... Just saying.

The average phone's OLED screen has a higher pixel density and a higher contrast than any goggle under $500. And the latency looks minimal and shouldn't bother a first time flyer.

Im confused cause on their webpage you can choose which protocol you want to buy the controller.... and the advanced kit has the frsky controller which ultimately is better, which means that if the starter kit controller only supports bayang is future garbage.
