My skyeliner HD frame arrived and it was packaged up extremely nicely. I'm new to FPV but I know when something is thrown together carelessly. This however was built with incredible attention to detail and the soldering job is picture perfect beads with no runs or sharp edges. Just perfect soldering on both side of the flight controller. The wires were laid uniformly and neatly tight against one another from the perfect soldering points at the flight controller all the way throughout the entire build out to each motor. I made a living for 6 years working at a steel manufacturing facility were I ran water jet and burn tables for government contracted work. Basically I know a good weld when I see one. Same goes for soldering. Except soldering joints are extremely tiny. SO, WHOEVER IS BUILDING FPV DRONES AT ROTOR RIOT WITH THE INITIALS B.P. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.... THIS PERSON NEEDS A RAISE GUYS SERIOUSLY. I can't say enough how happy I am with the build. Instead of the paper with the controller configuration now there is a tag around the one front arm stapled nicely and convenient. There is a QR code that you look at (through the smart phone camera for those learning computer terms still) that brings you to a webpage on rotor riots site that has a ton of in depth information. Not sure if this video is linked in that page someplace but if not it definitely should be. I found this video searching manually. Hats of to rotor riot for keeping a good amount of items in stock unlike some competitors. All in all, I am extremely excited to fly this Skyeliner and Shawn from let's fly RC says it's a tank. Cricket FPV says he never broke a skyeliner HD frame. If you watch Cricket fly ever that will very much surprise you. The look of the build is just awesome. It's like having a new sports car and you keep wanting to look at it. Just addicted to even looking at the damn thing. I added the grey color silicone arm protectors to the drone the moment it arrived. Very easy just remove the 4 motor screws from the motors and skid plates on bottom of each arm. Slide the 4 holes where they line up on the silicone arm protectors and tighten everything back up into place. Making sure the skulls on each skid plate are facing the right direction also. I could go on and on even more but this has already been WAY to long of comment. Wish me luck, be safe everyone and Thanks again everyone at rotor riot but especially the person who build my skyeliner with initials B.P Awesome build job!!!!!
Thanks you guys. I have been watching and wanting so bad but I am not quite ready. Having you out there incase something isn't quite right, gives me more confidence that I can do it. Keep up the great stuff.
Bought a Roma F35 from raceday quads. Was completely lost. Searched for a few hours looking for help and found this. It helped me immensely!!! Need much more content like this
Dude, this is the best noob intro ever. The DJI clearly sets itself up but the subtle things after that like prop direction and hovering, clutch. I wish this video was out two years ago!!! Edit: amazing job Vortex 👊
Great video it helped me understand why my Rotor Riot CL1 pre-built was freaking out on the bench, Thanks! I'm soooooooo glad I bought my stuff from you guys. Again Thank you for providing the support that most other manufactures do not.
I've been fine for late 3 years been programming and making drones on my CNC router making different frames listen to you guys as ad vice very good kudos to all you guys and your team keep it up
Just dove into the deep end with a DJI setup from you. Still crashing on a sim, Liftoff, and watching videos. You help a lot of people. I think that's a good thing? Cheers!
I've been flying drones for several years, I have 8 2-5" racing/freestyle self built and 2 DJI video drones. The rotor riot hd1 dji build is a rock solid super smooth well tuned RTF. Personally I went the crossfire route with my own controller because that's what I have setup and I trust the range. Use simulators first though.
nice premier clip guys. might mention that the 'new' owner will have to log into DJI, make an account under their own name and email address, activate and update all the DJI components in order to validate the warranty process and/or choose an extended warranty.
Awesome video. I just hope there is one coming up for those who pick the analog option builds (which begginers might do cause it's cheaper). Or perhaps a video teaching binding of different receivers that may be on the RR builds along with analog video. Great job RR for getting more people into this community, that start with Drib was great!
Can you comment on the exact battery needs for the goggles and your drone builds (I'm most interested in the cinewhoop)? Your website is missing those details. I understand 4S, but there appears to be different connector types as well. Because I live in Mexico there can be long shipment times and returns (if I order the wrong items) are pretty much non-existent. Maybe you guys can do a quick n00b video on batteries??
Well if you have an x9d, you have enough switches to setup a prearm, which is very hard to hit by accident, especially since the prearm switch I use personally is momentary, so 100% arming safety.
Between wind and snow, I have only had a few days to fly my new Rotor Riot Cinewhoop. But it is great, lots to learn to keep constant altitude and smooth speed, but its already getting better. Now I wish there was a tiny whoop option so I could just use the DJI system for everything.
You guys are great, DJI or no DJI 💖 I'm currently with the Skyzones 03Os and will be getting the DJI FPV for sure. I fly airplanes props, turbine and EDF and helis. It's time to join the Drone community. Thanks for all the info👍
Gday Drew & Vort3x, nice work guy's but unfortunately not everyone has the same type of problem, but great advise and good on you for backing up your products. 👍🛸
Just ordered a ready to fly quad from you guys and I’m impatiently waiting for it like a little kid on Christmas. Can’t wait to rip the skyeliner! I’m hoping to have it by the last week of this month. Anything sooner and I’ll be Tickled pink.
Hey did you updated/activate the controller and goggles and not the drone on dji assistant 2 because my drone still won't fly with updating only the controller and goggles
@@saulchavez4242 all I had to do was bind googles and remote to qaud. Rotor riot had everything done before shipping it to me. Bind googles to air unit first then bind remote to air unit. I had the googles already from DJI fpv , so I just ordered remote and skyeliner from them all ready to go besides binding. Other then that I couldn’t tell you anything because I’m completely new to everything. That’s why I went with rotor riot on having mostly everything done before hand. Good luck.
@@saulchavez4242 what’s it doing? I did have a problem thinking mine wasn’t working because it wouldn’t arm when I flipped the switch but then I found out you had to actually hold down the throttle on remote while flipping the arm switch. Even though I had the throttle all the way down it wouldn’t arm unless I was putting some down pressure on throttle while flipping arm switch.
Love the video! Been wanting to make videos like this for the guys at UCF. Y'all should put out a video for beginners about what it looks like when things go wrong (props on wrong, etc) so they know the danger and to stand far away when test hovering
Holy crap if I had seen this video before my first flight I feel like I watched all the videos but this one very helpful and informative and I think I leaned most of this the hard way lol
Great video! Im in CA under lockdown, totally new to FPV. I bought the RR HD-1, with Drib motors and full DJI setup from you guys. Built the whole drone following your/Bardwell’s videos, Betaflight, BLHELI_32, etc and I was wondering why the motors kept ramping up! Now I know. Can’t wait to fly it outside. But, until then, I’m designing my own GoPro 8 mount and new antenna mounts in Fusion 360 & Zbrush and using DRL Sim to hold me over. Thanks for the great product and content!
Try building jour own. There are plenty of videos out there that teach you how. Check out drone mesh. You WILL crash multiple times with ya drone. And if you break something. Ya won't know how to repair it. RTF is more expensive too.
Perfect video for me today as I learned you guys just shipped my skyeliner HD rtf kit. Im a camera drone guy but have flown an fpv drone w out goggles and was pretty darn good. So I took the plunge and got the holiday deal and im super excited but want to be ready. Cant wait to finish watching. Big fan new subscriber here
@@jfpiv well no one except DJI knows exactly, but some kind of data back to Air Unit for signal improvement (which is why audience mode is so much worse - only the goggles air unit is bound to do that).
Another tip for newbies is not to go to an unknown place to fly alone . You don't want to be a sitting duck with blinders on and some strange person or animal sneak up on you . It's always good practice when flying alone to also fly the drone around you once in awhile to get a good look at what's near you when you have the goggles on . Don't get caught up in flying so much that you lose situational awareness .
A lot of us have full time jobs, kids, pets, angry wives etc. It takes quite some time to order, receive and then repair my quads. A scratch built would take months to complete.
@@Sebby444 if your a beginner that's all the reason more to build your own. I'm not saying build everything but it's honestly the only way your gonna learn what really works for you and what dont. When I was learning there where no Sims and there wasn't prebuilts. So if I wanted to fly I had to build.
Nope -I just built one (3", 3s, 1404 motors) and for the first time got the VTX to work (really figured out its always starting in pit mode), and today I made the first flight looking through the goggles. Phew that thing is scary fast away!
My first drone I also built myself very slowly and meticulously. Everything seemed to be working and I was getting cleanish video. Buuuut somehow I had the missed the information about props and so I had Just tossed em on all willy nilly. Went outside to test fly and got a raging tornado of carbon and poly carbonate. Good times. This was well before anti taz and all the safety features we take for granted now.
Shadow Opp.'s RC: I have also done that 😄 flew for a while till i realized it, nothing got damaged. I also left my crossfire powered up on 500mW without antenna till the lipo was dead, also nothing damaged. sometimes the coponents are stronger than you might think 😄
Awesome! Drew were gonna see you on the Big Screen one day. So glad I watched this.. Very helpful. My throttle was slowly creeping up and then wide open. I finally turned off Airmode in Betaflight, then added a switch for Airmode in my Taranis. I just flip it into Airmode after take off. Is it ok to do this Jeff or should I just leave Airmode enabled?
Although it is of course a great way to get beginners started by building and then sending drones, there will inevitably come a time when there is something with the drone that needs to be repaired.
For a newbie it is going to cost an arm and a leg to pass the learning crash and repair curve using the DJI system. I think it is not fair saling those as a starter kit.
@@RafikiTheBaboon I wouldn't bother. Severely overpriced. You pay for the name, and their warehouse stocking of items. Just get a nazgul5 for around 250, and if you want more than that, you should be building your own quads anyway. You can build the same stuff they have for sale pre-built for 200-300 bucks
Drew walking slowly trying to simulate old 24 fps film was hilarious. I guess if you can afford a really high end RTF as your first quad, you can afford to pay to have someone else fix it when you crash it.
First of all. Buy Liftoff. Try at home. Then go to field, after many hours spent with your computer. Try flying with accelerometer, not with acro. When you feel good with it try acro.
This is a nice thing you're doing but makes you miss an important part of the hobby! The build! It's important because you are going to crash and you want to know how to fix it! I think it takes a bit of the feeling... How many set os props are you including? keep up!
I'm okay with the pushing DJI to some extent (although there are legitimate concerns about trusting DJI... or rather their "oversight") because the more we do move to digital, the more likely other companies will push the technology (looking at you Fatshark!!!!).
I don't understand how RR can go protest all the new laws and remote id changes yet still keep showcasing DJI crap, the company the lobbied the FAA for the new laws
yea I also think this dji sponsor thing is a bit over used. I think partly why so many pilots left RR was because they felt a bit left out and felt it was too much about buisness and at the same time no giving back to them as a pilot..maybe the buisness model does not let that happen very easily .but I also really don't know shit about it. And I do not think drew's job is easy.. he is trying to do something for the hobby. and I also hate that steele guy (fuck you steele.) I did not like him at first. he is also after making his buck. and about buisness. but he is also one of the best pilots, and to be honest, I really think if he would bring a flying crew to life, he would make it better than RR. but that may never happen . I think his ethics are better (lol) I also like his stuff, I bought the earplug for example. back then when I bought them I thought he was an arrogant fuck. but the plug is functional, specific, and relatively cheap. it is a nice product. and everybody knows that ear plugs have these plastic-woven internal cables. so no DIY. I would never buy steele motors though.. lol
In my experience if you have a grass field that is best. Desert has sand and lots of rocks and solid objects. If the desert is your only open spot or closest to a grass field you can get, then go for it, just be careful with rocks and sand.
Better than holding the arming switch, raise the throttle whenever the drone is not flying. If you accidentally hit the arming switch nothing will happen. It will only arm at 0 throttle. I tell that to every customer I hand a drone over to!
I placed an order with Rotor Riot 10 days ago, there has been no communication on shipping. Contacted Rotor Riot and a representative told me the merchandise is on pre-order and will be shipped out "in the next week or two". Well, is it one more week or two more weeks? That's a long time. Also why is the item I ordered showing "in stock" if it's on pre-order? Most of the items are out of stock on the website and I'll just end up ordering from RaceDayQuads. You guys need to keep up with the inventory or you'll be missing out on sales.
I’ve got my cart filled up right now and was going to place the order this weekend, but considering how they are constantly out of stock of things it was making me nervous. Now seeing this, I’m even more so.
Yeah I purchased the shendrone squirt cinewhoop 4** weeks ago (March 5). They said on March 10 that they hope to ship it out by the end of the month since the DJI items were listed as pre-order. It looks like they've been back in stock but I haven't heard back from Rotor Riot about any timetable for shipment. Just waiting in the dark right now
TV-G That sucks man. I’m just getting into the hobby and enjoy this channel and the guys’ individual channels, but that is disappointing to hear. I really want to support them and small US companies, but if they can’t get things shipped in a timely manner, I may have to take my business elsewhere.
Things have been more delayed than usual due to the covid crisis slowing down the supply chain. Your drone WILL ship. I am sorry it has taken so many weeks. If you email support@rotorriot.com they can provide you more information
Is it possible to install DJI camera , video transmitter and goggles with my quad ? or do I have to use DJI transmitter/radio and receiver for it all to work ?
I bought a starter kit from rotor riot and NOTHING came with batteries. It was supposed to be a ready to fly drone bundle but when I opened the box I was a little frustrated 😂
How about... "NEVER do a hover test inside!" Newbies will crash it into themselves (and cut themselves up), or crash into something expensive, and they will destroy their new drone.
Newbies... even guys with years of experience sometimes manage to do that :) Managed to left a scratch in a room ceiling by myself with 5" freestyle quad once.
Just spent 700 dollars on goggles drone and receiver...couldnt figure out how to even bind them together...its too much trouble to get into this hobby lol
What was the drone/prebuilt package total used in this video? looks like the dji start gear with prebuilt HDI or is it the HDI WITH prebuilt transmiter/goggles? ~1300 as its own package?
Thanks for the info. By the way, any of your fpv drones are tuned up already and all i do is to bind it up to my controller and goggles so i could fly it right away? I really don't need to do that Betaflight config bs anymore right? I don't have much time to go into pc after unboxing an fpv drone and i'm planning to order my fpv tru your store..Pls reply to my comments
Very good video I'm in Michigan trying to get some stuff started here to fly just trying to figure out how to do it can you send me some information on how to try to start a fly group here in Muskegon

This video help me understand an issue I was having thanks guys! It was the motors spinning up while on the ground.
always push your trottle up after you disarmed it. cause if your trottle is up you arm switch wont do anything after a accidential armswitch flip.
Lost my $199 kit w/vanover motors, can't wait till you get more in stock. Already posted a setup vid so will be even easier to get the next one going.

I think partly why so many pilots left RR was because they felt a bit left out and felt it was too much about buisness and at the same time no giving back to them as a pilot..maybe the buisness model does not let that happen very easily .but I also really don't know shit about it. And I do not think drew's job is easy.. he is trying to do something for the hobby. and I also hate that steele guy (fuck you steele.) I did not like him at first. he is also after making his buck. and about buisness. but he is also one of the best pilots, and to be honest, I really think if he would bring a flying crew to life, he would make it better than RR. but that may never happen . I think his ethics are better (lol) I also like his stuff, I bought the earplug for example. back then when I bought them I thought he was an arrogant fuck. but the plug is functional, specific, and relatively cheap. it is a nice product. and everybody knows that ear plugs have these plastic-woven internal cables. so no DIY. I would never buy steele motors though.. lol
@@dontcallmebrave Source? I haven't heard this before.
fkn AMAZING intro!! You so totaly rock thirtyish Drib!! 😊
Great informative video for Fpv beginners guys. Cheers :)
Le Drib, Vortex! Thank you for the tips. You had some great advice, and you taught me something new! Thank you for keeping it real, and *LTRIP!™*
Do you have a build and bind tutorial for the cl1? Thinking about buying it. Is it just as easy to setup as the HD1?
Thank you! This was very helpful
Would you recommend doing my first flight in FPV drone in the desert?
In my experience if you have a grass field that is best. Desert has sand and lots of rocks and solid objects. If the desert is your only open spot or closest to a grass field you can get, then go for it, just be careful with rocks and sand.
Seth Simmons thanks ... dubai is all about big sand areas ... if u saw Johnny FPV video in Abu Dhabi then ull understand more
Noice! Thanks so much for this!
Also super important: try on a simulator before, bind your Dji controller and get minimum of 5 hours of flight time
You have a Video to Build in the TBS crossfire into the Spektrum DX..
I get vibes and jello on a sunny day you guys got ND filters for DJI HD FPV yet?
Everything is out of stock again. It's why I quit even looking at the Rotor Riot store.
Yeah. They miss out on a lot of money.
You're gonna get that through any store in the current circumstances..
DENİZ DORA KARAKAŞ I usually check my local drone shop and Rotor Riot first then I look elsewhere.
Back ordering seems to be the only way to get drone parts now days
@DENİZ DORA KARAKAŞ Oha türk.
Awesome!!
Better than holding the arming switch, raise the throttle whenever the drone is not flying. If you accidentally hit the arming switch nothing will happen. It will only arm at 0 throttle. I tell that to every customer I hand a drone over to!
I placed an order with Rotor Riot 10 days ago, there has been no communication on shipping. Contacted Rotor Riot and a representative told me the merchandise is on pre-order and will be shipped out "in the next week or two". Well, is it one more week or two more weeks? That's a long time. Also why is the item I ordered showing "in stock" if it's on pre-order? Most of the items are out of stock on the website and I'll just end up ordering from RaceDayQuads. You guys need to keep up with the inventory or you'll be missing out on sales.
Great video.!
i like the "antique" ft 210 frame behind ya'll i have one of my own
Will you ship a full cinewhoop package to Mexico?
Is there a video for beginners using beta flight for the first time, as far as binding, to setting up the drone?
I got the BetaFlight FPV Starter Kit 2. What would be the next step up? Been practicing on the sim and with the small whoop.
Alright so right off the bat I gotta say the hat vort3x has on is fire asf.
So, I bought an FPV drone! 6 weeks ago and it still hasn’t shipped :( please rotor riot I am dying from boredom I need something to build
TV-G Did you purchase from Rotor Riot? Because if that’s the case this will definitely affect whether or not I purchase from them.
I’ve got my cart filled up right now and was going to place the order this weekend, but considering how they are constantly out of stock of things it was making me nervous. Now seeing this, I’m even more so.
Yeah I purchased the shendrone squirt cinewhoop 4** weeks ago (March 5). They said on March 10 that they hope to ship it out by the end of the month since the DJI items were listed as pre-order. It looks like they've been back in stock but I haven't heard back from Rotor Riot about any timetable for shipment. Just waiting in the dark right now
TV-G That sucks man. I’m just getting into the hobby and enjoy this channel and the guys’ individual channels, but that is disappointing to hear. I really want to support them and small US companies, but if they can’t get things shipped in a timely manner, I may have to take my business elsewhere.
Things have been more delayed than usual due to the covid crisis slowing down the supply chain. Your drone WILL ship. I am sorry it has taken so many weeks. If you email support@rotorriot.com they can provide you more information
I love this, great video guys lol
What makes your drones more valuable (ie higher priced) than your competitors...? $600 for the HD1 but some other 5" quads are doing the same thing?
The real question is, is the test drone used in the video gonna go for sale again with a discount since it was used???
The one he unboxed, how much does it cost? Is that a whole package?
I have a drone on my bench here that wouldn`t fly for months and now i`ve seen that I put the props in the wrong position....
Is it possible to install DJI camera , video transmitter and goggles with my quad ? or do I have to use DJI transmitter/radio and receiver for it all to work ?
I have a question, will the goggles come with a battery or do we have to use a separate battery?
I bought a starter kit from rotor riot and NOTHING came with batteries. It was supposed to be a ready to fly drone bundle but when I opened the box I was a little frustrated 😂
How about... "NEVER do a hover test inside!" Newbies will crash it into themselves (and cut themselves up), or crash into something expensive, and they will destroy their new drone.
Newbies... even guys with years of experience sometimes manage to do that :) Managed to left a scratch in a room ceiling by myself with 5" freestyle quad once.
Ordered My XHover HD, cant wait to get my hands on it :D
Where did u buy it from I want to buy one as well
@@Nat-qr4nm from the rotor Riot website.. it was out of stock.. when i ordered but i got it like in 3 weeks time.
@@mr.flymenco thanks a lot I will make sure I will check it out
Very helpful, thanks
Can you help with my rtf echine wizard x 220s with flysky i6x. Thank you for the great advice
When I started into FPV, the mistake I did, is that I plugged in a battery and I had no antenna on my VTX.
Nice Hat, Where Can I buy it, Vort3x?
Just spent 700 dollars on goggles drone and receiver...couldnt figure out how to even bind them together...its too much trouble to get into this hobby lol
Keep going Nick! There are so many people that want you to fly, if you have any questions with troubleshooting, just ask.
Don't worry, it gets easier exponentially.
Nick Well maybe you should get into bottle cap collecting then. That’s easy.
@@hellbilly_fpv6692 lol maybe
Is there any other goggles and radios you can use as dji are pretty expensive
My first mistake was not knowing to set up my modes, and the difference between auto and acro... it was a short first flight lol
What was the drone/prebuilt package total used in this video? looks like the dji start gear with prebuilt HDI or is it the HDI WITH prebuilt transmiter/goggles? ~1300 as its own package?
Thanks for the info. By the way, any of your fpv drones are tuned up already and all i do is to bind it up to my controller and goggles so i could fly it right away? I really don't need to do that Betaflight config bs anymore right? I don't have much time to go into pc after unboxing an fpv drone and i'm planning to order my fpv tru your store..Pls reply to my comments
you guys have raised prices to crazy extremes. Sad to see a good company go down hill
Very good video I'm in Michigan trying to get some stuff started here to fly just trying to figure out how to do it can you send me some information on how to try to start a fly group here in Muskegon
