Great vid. Don't apologize for making a long video. As a beginner, I'd rather have a video that is twice as long but covers every single step (like yours does) than having you rush and skip over important steps, or assume we know anything (we don't... yet, but we're learning thanks to you. You rock!
WOW, WOW and more WOW. Seriously you are understating how brilliant your setup is. After 18 hours on lift-off I got the basics. Velocidrone at your settings is VASTLY superior. Thank you so much. Worth every penny to purchase if serious about wanting to fly. Can't wait for next episode
I like how you do everything in one go. No cuts, no edits, or remissions. Gives sense of humanity and displays how passionate you are about the field that you can educate for 20 minutes without breaks. Also builds validity, I believe everything you say is in fact unbiased and in the consumer's best interest. Thanks!
You’ve been an inspiration. About a week ago I jumped into this new adventure. Took your advice and bought myself a FRSkyTrananis. I downloaded the Sim. I quickly realized how absolutely terrible I am. By the end of the day I utilized not just yours but Velocidrones UA-cam channel on starting out. My first day was hitting pylons and flying rough 5 miles in the air on a constant basis. I was at the lowest setting as possible to allow myself to fly a literal boat as slow as possible. Within one week I have turned my camera angle from a 20 to now 35. All my settings are now what yours are on this video. I have since graduated from an open field pylons to Prodangles pylon race. Literally a bunch of rocks with a bunch of pylons. And a couple trees which I have it LOL. But it is teaching me how to hit the gaps and tight corners. I make it even interesting by once hitting the finish line and then going in reverse. I’m currently down to about two laps without crashing the drone on a semi constant basis. I’m now able to going at a moderate 20 to 30 miles an hour throughout the entire course.
Thank you again for all the tips. I believe what I’m gonna do is build my first drone that way I understand how it works. I am mechanically inclined which does help out a little bit. But one of your friends showed me a video on how to solder, which is one of my downfalls. So wish me luck and see you in the sky
Thank you a million times over, Mr. Steele. Excellent, updated, to the point information presented from a real life experienced, professional pilot. I’ve said it before. Every time I think, Mr. Steele has done everything physically possible with an RC Quad, He somehow, continues to surprise me and this time, “ Stoned two birds with one bush?” has also INSPIRED Me to dust My SHARKS off and get back to practicing.Thank you again Mr. Steele
Cheers 👍👍
I’m finallyyy getting into fpv and have been watching you for years. Thank you for everything you post man. Such a big help for noobies like me. You’re the truth. I’ve been flying sim for about 3 months now and about to take the plunge with goggles and a quad. Can’t wait to be up.
Thanks again for this setup! Flew for the first time in real life yesterday and it felt exactly like your Sim setup. This and all your other videos prepared me perfectly for my first flight. 🙏
Mr. Steele has so much knowledge that he speaks very fast with confidence and almost loses his breath while trying to convey so much information. I love it. You remind me of myself except that I do not know anything about FPV (until now). Great work. Keep it up. I'll check out your channel for more tutorials. I think you could make the same thing every year just with an update based on what's in the market, prices, new things etc. Blessings
Thanks dude! I can't believe how much of a difference this just made!! Give me a few weeks and I will be flying like "Mr. Steele" lol Seriously though, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You are the man!
+Mr Steele
I think you should try liftoff since the recent physics update. Feels far more real than before. The floatyness issue is resolved as far as I can tell. Tommy noticed the same issue in the earlier release.
@@billybbob18 its still a bit floaty but they all are. i find it pretty good though. although velocidrone is pretty darn close too
Thank you! I’ve been practicing with liftoff for the past week. Getting the hang of it but struggling with turns and speed control. Decided to try velocidrone on your advice with your settings and I’m loving it! Feels sooo much better! I can happily weave in and out of the buildings in the city and control my speed to make much sharper turns! Thanks! 😁
Thanks for this series! This totally has made me decide to move on this and start learning to fly fpv. Have been flying a spark fpv, but with controller connected to phone. But seeing learning with a hundred dollar radio and 20 sim makes me realize this is more doable than I thought!
Thanks Steele for the useful info!
You deserve real commendation for this series.
I've had Velocidrone for a long ass time, never getting it to work good enough to make me want to use it. This video makes all the difference. Good job, Steele.
I'm not sure you took a single breath that whole video. You packed a ton of good info into a short amount of time. Thanks! I look forward to part 3.
Im From Puerto Rico. Im following your tutorials step by step and its working out. I Bought the FrSky 7x Q and now im Practicing on velocidrone. Yesterday I DIDN'T even know hoy to make a Turn. Today Im flying better.
I've followed these steps from all the how to fpv and now I'm airborne. Not full bore ripping it yet but I'm hooked...keep up your inspirational good work mr steele
This may be the greatest series ever! Thanks again can’t wait to see part 3. Guess it’s time for me to order a Qx7 to get started
Thanks so much for this. As a newbie, we are often left in the dark by experienced pilot that have long forgotten what it's like to know nothing about the basics. This tutorial will avoid us developing bad habits by learning in an unrealistic way, and then having to re-train muscle memory etc when starting all over again with a kwad irl. Thanks :) Nice fairy lights btw ;)
Thank-you for doing this series. I know everyone likes the flight videos,but there can never be too much info on the basics.Winter here in the northeast is a great time for sims.
Legend! I have been watching you for ages and want to get into the hobby so bad.This has really boosted my confidence on if i will be properly ready for flying a drone. thanks so much.
Thank you for taking the time to help us who aren't too experienced in flying quads! I much appreciate it!
You just stimulated my creativity and created a new hobby for me! Thanks, thanks thanks!
You are absolutely right. I started last year maybe October with the Taranis QX7 and Liftoff/Freerider. Didn't know about Velocidrone back then. Then Goggles and hook them up to simulator if possible that helped me also. The Acrobee was not only fun but very good for learning. It took a while to get the tools and components to build my first quad. Then of course I crashed it ...but I knew how to fix it ....At this time I now can fly full acro and not break anything on my 210mm quad. So don't give up. Thanks to Mr Steele, Joshua Bardwell, Ledrib, Andy RC, FPV academy, and Curry Kitten...to name a few. Lot of good information out there. And I am in my late 50's. So you can do it if you keep at it. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Man have i been waiting for this ! Thank you Thank you very much ! It's going to be the coolest video series since the Drako build by Mike Patey. And that was a great series . Learning to fly fpv ! The right way. Hell yeah! Waiting on my new radio . Passing down my dx9 to my kid . Did I say thank you ? Lmfao . Keep it up pal lovin what ya do .
Mr. Steele, thank you very much that was a very helpful series of videos. I have just gotten in to drones and digging up information can be a little difficult. Just this morning velocidrone finished downloading and I followed all your instructions and did my first simulated flights with my QX7.
Taking it one step farther, I then feed computer hdmi out to my goggles and fly with them on just like "real life". I found it prepared me a little better than watching a monitor. I did quickly realize I needed to map a couple of switches for common things you need on the keyboard though. That keeps me from having to take the goggles on and off a bunch to just hit the keyboard for reset and such.
I was wondering about this possibility. What features are needed on a pair of goggles to be able to display the sim?
Used to use Liftoff and change to Veloci bcos of Steele's review, gotta watch this video over and over again to apply what he said in my sims
Thanks Mr Steele - another quality vid. I wonder if those who disliked have SEEN what you are capable of in the real world.
I am sure that if they have seen some of ur actual flight vids, then they would respect that you really are coming from a position of authority,
and what you are saying and suggesting is the best way for a noob to approach drone flight in the best way possible.
Thanks for taking the time to add to the FPV drone community.
I just bought Velocidrone and DRL. Yep, DRL is now a 19.99 (+tax) purchase...not free.....Thanks for the video brother!! Your settings definitely made a huge difference in feel! I fly SIM everyday that the weather is not good for actual flying! The biggest thing I can add, for new pilots is: PRACTICE EVERYDAY!! PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE....
Thank you for posting these. This is extremely helpful. Can’t wait to see part 3.
As someone who doesn't need these videos I still enjoyed watching it. Loving the Velocidrone settings, nicely done Steele.
David -I totally agree - I don't need this but I am enjoying watching the videos - Man I wish there was something like this when I got started.
What is the difference between the rates in velocidrone and the rates in reality? Say I am flying the settings in this video, can I just copy them into my kwad as they are? And I'm just talking pitch roll yaw
Anxiously waiting for part 3. Keep up the great work.
Feelin and Apreciating this Series.
I've been flying for 2 years now but I love these videos. Looking forward to the rest of the series
Nice one Mr Steele! I loving your very imformative videos right now - Really appreciate your time sharing this information. I've been flying on and off for a few months and this kind of content that would have really helped me when I first started. not to say that this is still vey useful to me now and obviously to many other getting into the hobby.
🙏🏼🤙🏼
Great series
Thanks for sharing and a big thumbs up for the velocidrone settings, good info for all not just beginners. I've had it running OK ish from the rates page but had never bothered with the Quad Settings page - makes a big difference. BTW - the very basic Tutorials on You tube from Velocidrone are great for total beginners to understand how the controls interact with each other, how to make turns and how to interpret what they are seeing on the screen to what the simulated quad is actually doing. Will help get the most out of their hour a day, my kid used them to begin with and was up to speed real quick.
Thanks so much for doing this series. Just found a QX7 for sale on facebook nearby, going to get setup and get some stick time in asap. Looking forward to the future vids.
Thank you so much, this is the only video I can find that goes this in depth. Life saver dude
Soooo keen for the next video. Thanks again steele . 💪 great stuff
Really appreciate this! Still new to drones with just over 100 hours on a Mavic Pro. Really looking forward to learning FPV acro. Complete newb now but am willing to learn. Thanks!
Great series of videos... Very useful for both newbies and intermediate flyers... On your recommendation i have purchased this Symulater and its very good indeed.
Thanks brotha man, looking forward to part 3
Its so awesome you do this man. I wish I had this when i started out. Getting into Freestyle FPV is really hard atm.
Awesome tut man, cant wait for part 3!
Nice Nice Nice keep going(as fast as possible) like that. Love your settings and These Episoden,can't wait for next episode👍
Super detailed, loving it! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you dude, you're tutorial is pretty awesome, can't wait for the next part, thanks for doing this for us :)
Getting by your own to a spot, putting the goggles for the first time, hands shaking, heart pumping, is a really great feeling but can be daunting at the beginning. For me Velocidrone was and is the perfect tool for getting the feel for the controls and practicing. It's really important to get consistent and relaxed with basic flying before putting a 5'' in the air :)
I've flown a cheap modded rc-logger drone (different frame/motors/etc) several times but I ended up getting a Mavic because I wanted to more so do photography with it and love the portability. Now that it's been a couple of years, I really want to get into FPV because it looks like so much fun! I can't wait until after the holiday season when I can purchase stuff for myself and follow your guide[s]!
Awesome, bro. Im thinking to start flying a quad. Thanks. Im waiting next videos . 👍
G’day Steele. Im new to the hobby having 10+ rc trucks and cars. Looks like I came across your videos at the right time. I’ll be following your step by step guide into FPV. Love it so far mate. I’ve got my x9d coming in the mail and I’ll be downloading a sim to put some hours in over Xmas.
thank you for making this!!:) awesome of you to share knowledgge like this
im looking forward to this series!
Solid informative videos, keep it up!
When I bought my RC I mistakenly ordered a mode 1. I was gutted! When it arrived I immediately got the screw driver out, unscrewed the two pots, swapped them over so the non-spring throttle was now in the left, and reconfigured the controls with the RC settings menu. I was SO relieved that I could convert it over to a true mode 2 RC!!! I can't guarantee that will work for all RCs, but if you do mess up just give it a try. It worked for me!
I️ just got a qx7 and you missed a few crucial parts, but I️ know there’s a lot of info to get into the vid. A few things for those who just got the qx7: 1) I️t doesn’t come with a battery so you’ll either have to go broke using AA’s or get a lipo like most people. I️ got rechargeable AA’s and they’re working awesome. 2) The throttle centers when you get I️t new, so you’ll have to take the four screws out of the back and disable that spring.
Check out project blue falcon’s playlist for a complete set up of the qx7, it’s awesome.
Love you, Steele :,)
I just used the Thunderpower 2S Lipo.... but yeah we’re getting ahead of ourselves now.. people don’t have a Lipo charger at this point. So. Again. It’s gonna be slow. But “step by step” man. Thanks for looking out. Here’s the battery I use store.flitetest.com/thunder-power-adrenaline-fat-shark-goggle-2s-lipoly-battery-20c-7.4v-4000mah-thp4000-2sagx/p672961?gclid=Cj0KCQiA6JjgBRDbARIsANfu58FiUmayu17vBJ_c5lRV0yqcJZxMjlpamIzYe26QlQ9EPy-haZjjv4saAmkoEALw_wcB
I've just ordered the qx7. Is it easy to disable the spring you mentioned? Thanks
Yes, super easy! I'd recommend watching the video about it from Rotor Riot or Project Blue Falcon. Have fun, dude @@KlownFPV
@@Franksdad_deanmartinonrepeat Ah cool! Thanks for the tip, much appreciated!
So friendly cheers all
Getting this notification just made my day! I am feeling happy to watch some good aircraft Steele grade content.
Tired Flyer FPV I subbed to u will u sub to me
Hey I have to thank you as well. Downloaded the sim followed your steps what fun! Finally getting the hang of it. By the way I"am using my RealFlight (InterLink) controller just went through the calibration works great. Thanks again.
Returned liftoff and got velocidrone instead because of this video and I'm so glad I did!! It's way nicer as a simulator and I don't care about the game side at all.
Thank you so much for this series steele
nice of you to share your experience for everybody interested but dont know where to start
Great videos for those interested in getting into the sport. I will forward these videos to anyone I know who shows interest.
always nice video and very knowledgeable fpv info👊👊👊👌👌
Exactly the Content i need atm for starting my velocidrone
Thanks alooottt
Nice vid Steele! I fly velocidrone on those rainy days when I can't fly my real quad. I liked freerider fpv on my tablet but it doesn't compare to velocidrone as far as that realistic feel goes. I'm gonna have to try out your settings and see if it makes my velocidrone experience better. Thanks again!
I am super grateful for you making this video! I just bought my first ever radio recently and followed this video to the letter. I'm flying on the sim now and it's a lot of fun!! Seems I can fly ok but the second I start going for the gates I really suck 😂
Good Job , Mr Steele ! 😊
Merci beaucoup Mr Steele.
Yea Mr. Steele Rocks!
Great timing. Downloaded both velocidrone and liftoff and linked my qx7 to the pc. I want to fly around Joshua's backyard :D
The settings you gave are Super helpul. Thanks , Happy Flying :)
thamks for your getting into fpv series
Sorry, I have to comment again. I am having a break to digest all the gold nuggets, and I am only half way in this video. Huge thumbs up. I am impressed :-D you have a lot of teatcher potential. Looking so much forward to the rest of this series, and I will refere to this series, if anybody asks me how to get into fpv/drones. Hopefully there will be a build part and trubbleshooting part too.
Great Vid thank you. Helped so much
Great vid, have velocidrone for a while. But setting it up properly is even more of a thing then finding the one tune on a real quad. Gonna try this for sure
How to FPV is really important for those beginners like me! Really appreciated! Can't believe how much it means to us, it quickly lead us to a correct path to FPV. I just bought the sim cable yesterday, I will be building the drone once the parts arrive. Can't wait to see the next video, when do you think is it gonna come out?
Not ready to get into FPV yet (flying Phantoms now) but watching anyway...
Great videos @MrSteele 👍
This is exactly what I needed to get started thanks.
Thanks Steele, good stuff.
i thought this upload was a year old, damn it is recent, I've been hook on watching random youtube fpv drone for months now and i can't explain why, first vid i discover was mr steele, than rotor riot and so on, after tons of random vids, i decided to get frsky lite as my first cause it's the smallest cool xbox looking cause i not fan of big bulk controller, and my first purchase drone is emax hawk 5, gd price and is highly praise, still waiting the pakage to arrive, i glad i discover this thx
Thank you so much for your help. Also please can you release more video quickly (cant wait)
Thank you so much for the helpful setup
Awsome Sir. Steele. This is going in your own named playlist on my channel. Thank you for your advice, and experience, it is really apreciated and you are so good at explaining it all. Looking forward to the intermediate videos, wich is where I am at. Noice your also thinking about the budget.
Thank you soooooo much Mr Steele !!
Got my QX7...got Velocidrone...Working on getting stick time. Can't thank you enough for the guidance. Looking forward to the rest of the series, and following one step at a time. Stone-cold, geezer, mechanical idiot, noob here. So far, you have not forgotten to tell us to "keep peddling" when attempting to "ride the bike". Some lessons are best learned by failing, but it's nice to know when that is likely ;-)
Thank you so much for this tutorial, awesome!
What's up! Thanks for sharing the setup!
Just set it up. You're the best man.
I have problems controlling the quad in velocidrone. I can just jump in and fly with liftoff out of the box. I'm looking forward to trying your settings because I could never get velocidrone to feel right.
Thank you,very useful
Great video, Thank you for your time and effort, my goal is to fly sim everyday till decent weather in Illinois.
The last update of TRYP simulator is really good too.
Thanks Mr Steel, your a top man.👍
Nice vid series 👍🏼
Good job
I'm not even a beginner, just interesting to watch these
Awesome video series Mr Steele. I follow your videos a long time. One thing to mention i always dislike is that people always talk about mode 2 and mode 1. Mode one is weird and not used that often when it comes to drones or helis which are nearly the same in controls. The right explanation is that mode 2 is the regular way a right handed person controls the model and mode 3 is what left handed person use. Mode 1 has throttle on the right like mode 3 but it mixes up the controls completely while mode 3 just changes the whole sticks from left to right which a left handed like me uses.
Du bist mein Vorbild. Bist klasse und ich habe großen Respekt vor deinem fliegen. Durch dich habe ich angefangen copter zu fliegen
MMMMMM. This is a juicy series
I can hardly wait to see your part3. I use all your setting. I can almost feel weight of drone and i can easily control the drone as to do anything as i want now. I like the way you playing fpv. no modem equipment, always pursuit same feel of drone. In Taiwan, very hard to find a place safe to play 5". Thx your video from beginning and hope your channel keep growing. also keep yourself health. 萬事如意
