I’ve been flying for years but I’m still watching this...
same
Same
Same
Rilly tho
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.
0:06 LeDrib “Hello there” Me “general kenobi”
Here's what I did when I got my drone:
Step 1: Try to connect the receiver and accidentally fry the FC
Step 2: ......
Another common mistake is powering up without the video transmiter antenna on.
been there done that :)
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?
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 👊
Build your own. Don't buy prebuilt you learn so much more building your own.
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.
@@screaminseagull lol months? Try hours with $50 solder kit
@@TheTurtleOfGods I have a ts100 and it looks like Michael j fox soldered my stuff
JesseFpv some people may be beginners who don’t wanna frick something up while saidering or don’t have any extensive technology experience
@@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.
“Check out our RTF drones on our website” checks out website. Sold out, Sold Out, Sold Out. Everything is out of stock
@Efaz Bhuiyn that or they just don’t resupply often enough, don’t know enough about the company
@@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
@@JasonEllingsworth heard thank you
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.
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
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
Wow! People are so lucky nowadays, they can just buy this setup and watch this video 👍
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!
Drew found his true calling with that intro. 😂😂😂
Great video guys :) we need to get more people in the air!
Just in time!
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.
This video help me understand an issue I was having thanks guys! It was the motors spinning up while on the ground.
......”this video was brought to you by DJI”
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
desync0 EXACTLY!!!
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
@@dontcallmebrave Source? I haven't heard this before.
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 .
💯💯
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.
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.
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.
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!
Thank you for the clear and concise lesson, RR. It's not only 100% correct, it's also VERY easy to follow! =)
I still remember my first time hovering..... man it LOOKS easy..... it's dang hard.... DANG DANG HARD..... good times!
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??
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.
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.
Um, you need antennas on devices that transmit...which included the goggles. Also, you're not supposed to be shipping batteries that are charged
Thank you! This was very helpful
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!
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👍
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
This was an amazing video. I loved the intro. Keep up the great work. It is appreciated.
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
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.
Good job guys! Thanks!
Good info, only thing I would add is test failsafe. props off, arm then power off radio, hopefully motors stop moving.
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.
Wow I thought this was a Wendy’s spicy nuggets unboxing/review video but it’s not very disappointed! 😕
Billy Bob I thought the exact same thing totally ruined my day!
Thank goodness I thought I was the only one who thought this was gonna be a Wendy’s spicy nuggies review vid I’m also saddened by being click baited very disappointing!
Brandon Balizet it’s gonna be ok just hang in there buddy we will make it through this I promise!
@@brandonbalizet9346 ok i guess ill try to pull through if you dont hear from me in a day or two that means the unspeakable has happend i ran out of spicy nuggies!
Buying a build it yourself Drone gives you the experience to build it Yourself to get used to how its put together.
Exactly the video I needed right when I needed it. Thank you!
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.
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.
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
Nice little package you made there!. Makes it a lot easier for noobies now!
If we didn’t get the drone from you. Do you still recommend not touch the beta flight or anything and just use the default setting to fly.
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!™*
fkn AMAZING intro!! You so totaly rock thirtyish Drib!! 😊
Also super important: try on a simulator before, bind your Dji controller and get minimum of 5 hours of flight time
Great video.!
Are you going to do a "next one" video? It will be great a video with basic instructions to fly those drones.
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.
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!!!!).
Wow ya boy is finally not wearing eyeliner
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 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....
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!
Alright so right off the bat I gotta say the hat vort3x has on is fire asf.
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.
LoL wow...if binding has you stumped, yeah...that doesn't even scratch the surface of the complexity of this hobby
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
you guys have raised prices to crazy extremes. Sad to see a good company go down hill
Jimmy Stewart?...:) 😁😁👌👌👏
Great informative video for Fpv beginners guys. Cheers :)
i like the "antique" ft 210 frame behind ya'll i have one of my own
The real question is, is the test drone used in the video gonna go for sale again with a discount since it was used???
love the intro lmao
Test hover by new pilot should be outside with quad at least 25 feet from pilot.
Pls do an 100$ ready to fly drone🙏😜for those who really don’t wanna spent that much money
I highly suggest a whoop like the Mobula7 or TinyHawk II for around $100. I just got a Mobula7 as my first drone and love it a lot. I can fly it indoors on 1S, too (which is really helpful during quarantine)
ItsJayCross I would rather buy a larva x👌but Mobula 7 is also very nice💪wich goggles and transmitter you got??? I mean they need to be kinda cheap aswell😜😂
@@Mathis.L I got the FrSky Taranis QX7 and the Eachine EV800D.
ItsJayCross aren’t the ev800d googles way to big and heavy on the head?? I can’t really imagine wearing these 😐do you know any alternative??🤔
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 😂
You have a Video to Build in the TBS crossfire into the Spektrum DX..
I want to get one but in my country drones are prohibited unless you want to use it professionally like for TV stuff
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?
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
*an FPV Drone!
Will you ship a full cinewhoop package to Mexico?
I have almost 22 builds🤪
dji sets storage charge to save batteries, roto riot charges them and lets them slowly die?
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?
How do you know when you need to change out the battery?
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.
Search [FPV topic] + "Bardwell"... 99% chance Bardwell covered it. Hahahaha.
I love this, great video guys lol
autolevel = angle mode?
Procyte yep
The dji googles transmit as well.
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 get vibes and jello on a sunny day you guys got ND filters for DJI HD FPV yet?
Is there any other goggles and radios you can use as dji are pretty expensive
Can you help with my rtf echine wizard x 220s with flysky i6x. Thank you for the great advice
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?
The one he unboxed, how much does it cost? Is that a whole package?
Is there a STL File for Stick Protectors for the DJI Controller?
Can you put a GoPro on this ready to fly drone?
If you are new to quads, do not ever do any test flying of any kind INSIDE and even outside do not STAND NEAR it to test.
Where did Vortex get the 5 panel "SoftMounted" hat?
I got it from Say Andrea. Mine is a little custom because it has a RR logo on it, but you can get one here - www.sayandrea.com/store/p51/softmounted_camp.html
I connected both the controller and the goggles and my controller doesn't wanna turn the drone on with the switch for some reason
i bought the skyliner 3in cinewhoop, it comes with the t12 transmitter and fatshark dominator goggles, nothing is binding , how do you bind with the t12?
Upto how much mah 4s lipo battery I can use on 250mm frame with 2207 motors and 35a esc
So should I not use dji assistant 2 to update firm wear with the dji system because I have only so far updated my goggles and controller and linked them but it still doesn't wanna fly
Can you ship a ready to fly tiny whoop to India ?
