Great video! Plenty of info here….
Yoo..thats dope FPV drones..its the nxt level stuff.Yus this video gave us clarity about fpv drones..your hard work paid off.This is the future shit
you are terrible at soldering. use flux, and less solder is more.
I wish i would have known you were on Oahu. I just left, but had lived there for an entire year flying fpv by my self haha. I could have helped build yours, so you could save all that money!
What’s the name of the simulator you used?
Nice create speed racing drone bro👍😁
Jesus I didn’t know all this. Amazing video though. Time to learn how to solder and code.😓
There’s bare info online!!!!!!
JOSHUA BARDWELL!
UAVFEATURES!
That noise may have been what you call ‘propwash’
Can I just say mate…. well done!
you put in the time and effort to learn how to fly this thing and look what you did!
amazing !!
I can show you who did do video tutorial how to make fpv drone ( )! But you did it really snot))
You overspent my friend
fpv.air-war.org
Could you drop the list of all the items for the build.
Never seen this channel before. Don’t know what the usual content happens to be. From what I’ve gleamed, he likes to learn new things and judging from this video, is honest about the experience.
I’ll say this, if you are considering this hobby, his breakdown was 💯…They’re like street bikes, or boats, but worse. And flying! Hahahahahaha… If you weren’t born with this tech, you will want to start on a sim. It takes a really long time to get the feel. So unless you have a lot of money, start on the sim.
You spend extra $10 for mini gps module and get it back if control signal is lost
Great 👍🏽 video brotha. This is really going to help me closer to deciding if I want to get into this hobby. Looks really adventurously fun! But is it for me? I won’t know until I try it, right?
😂😂😂
?!?!?!
Jeez what do you need 55 amp ecs for?
There is tons of info how to fly and build.
What’s the name of the simulation game
this man really said “lip-o” battery
Why don’t you monetize?
*my journey of building my own drone
Next time send me the parts ill solder them for you for way less 🙂
if only you knew half as much about soldering as styling your stupid girl hair…
Doing it for a year now. Totally addictive
UAVFUTURES would have been a better choice to help you build your first drone and would have saved you a lot of money.
Damn right, how is this a How to ?
Where did you get the simulator?
Liar
Congrats for your resilience!
Why do you talk like a girl man you’re ruined
Thanks man. Best noob video I’ve seen so far.
Good job dude! This was mee when I started. We all make expensive mistakes hahaha
07:03 raise the ‘P’, lower the ‘D’…😏
Lmao most expensive worst FPV ever built. RIP
What simulator did you use to practice?
Hope someone sees this question: how can I build this drone but include prop guards so that, as a beginner, I’m not constantly destroying the propellers ?
I wouldn’t bother with prop guards on a 5 inch. Makes sense on a smaller indoor drone but not something like 5 inch. Practice in the simulator so you crash less and then just expect to change props every now and again.
@Bando Bandit Thank you for replying my dude! When I want to practise in a simulator: what controller should I get?
Any of the popular radios will be plug and play with a simulator. Taranis Q X7, Taranis x-lite, Jumper T16. The Flysky FS6 is an affordable radio but doesn’t play nicely with a simulator, so I’d avoid.
not a lot of info? hehe uh 2016 ha enough for me lol
what is simulator app you use in Steam?? thanks in advance..
5.33 HOW DO YOU PROGRAM MOTORS TO PLAY A MUSIC??
I have been thinking so much when i should just sell my dji drone and switch to fpv, the mavic air is like flying a brick but still good in other ways ofc.. but no fun.. such a nice video bud! Thx for sharing!!!
Whats the range on this drone if you buy all the things you did in the video?
“This is the hardest hobby I have ever taken up and I’ve thought myself how to play guitar.”
LOL. It’s funny cause guitar isn’t hard to play at all hahah
Speeeeeeeeed !!
What’s the typical range on those
Funny I have the same hobbies as you… play guitar.. skiing or snowboarding .. and afcourse flying drones..
Learning guitar by oneself is so basic
drones are simple
the aim isn’t to crash, and the drones aren’t expensive, if you know what to buy.

Im just here to see how i can make the drone i already have FVP. Do i just need a camera and clip it to my drone mother board and then buy a receiver for the screen?
Super Awsome vid Bro !!!!
definitly here to stay, you need to get a micro drone like a mobula 6!
there is tons of information on them if you look in the right places (ask on facebook/rc groups) (look on youtube)
Can I connect controller from DJI mavic air for FPV simulator?
Hi, can anyone tell me what the website he is using to buy the parts. It appears twice and has a yellow theme with black logo but I can’t make out enought to tell what the website is….. Can anyone help??
Heya… Really hope that you keep on flying your fpv quad now and you upload that also to your channel😊
Yooooo! Thank you sooo much for this video! What Simulator did you use and does it use the the DJI radios? Thanks again for the great content!
Who’s got tickets on him self hahaha
This guy: burns 3 dji flight controllers
Me: Don’t have to money to buy 1
just gonna point out at 2:26 the lipo batteries are made of lithium polymer and thats where they get the name but its pronounced “lie-po” not “lip-o” i just thought that would annoy some people and that you should know that
This is a great intro to FPV. Thanks!
Never smoke another quad again. This smoke stopper device is sold just about everywhere. Check it out at
You got alot of cash into that thing!
Hey i was wondering if u have a drone that is for sale causeni want to buy one
him on 100++ hours
me:2000 hours on csgo
There is a ton of help in the FPV freeetyle community. Just email me and we will help you with any aspect of this.
There’s a tonnnnn of information on how to fly and build
There’s a tonnnnn of information on how to fly and build
Welcome to the club man!!! I know, your hype is true! I love fpv. Looking forward for your flight videos!
“and i taught myself how to play guitar”
hah oh so you’ve never had a difficult hobby before and this is the first one 😛 congrats!
Lol should’ve checked some forums, maybe watch a couple of episodes of flitetest. Building an fpv drone really isn’t that difficult. Trust me, I’ve build several.
Something nice ‘-) Great video into the freestyle drone world. I had to pick my battles everytime I bought a new part for me, wish I could just drop it all into a full DJI system 🙂
What i don’t like about your video is that you keep mentioning that there is NOT a lot of information online… Not true, there are tons of information since a while. You also go and say “good luck” to your viewers into building the drone. Which you should be convincingly telling your audience that anyone could make one if they do their research. You seem to be very negative in your process into building that drone. Yes it may be difficult to build and fly but you gotta encourage your viewers into getting into FPV drones. That’s all I gotta say 👍
If you know how to solder and do your research it may take some time but it is far from impossible I am 14 and have built 2 fpv drones.
Dude! Great video and good explanation about getting started with fpv drones! If you any need help on electrics let me know! For example that burn run you explained is easily avoidable!
At the starting U scared me.
😃.
Nice video
much needed, and well done
150% of focus? That’ll work
thanks
There is no info on flying? No info on building? What?????? What are you talking about?
any info about the simulator you recommend?
They thought 150 is much time spent in a Video Game?
*laughs in 2k hours League of Legends*
Dude, awesome video that answered like every question i had about this! Still gonna give it a shot lol…. yeah, im scared AF
Hey, but nothing worth doing is easy huh. Nice vid on the reality of fpv. I’ve been ‘thinking’ about it.
So what simulator is recommended?
How To Have Money?
🙁 fpv is a dream
Thanks for the video.
I already have drone, made some succesful flights and everything but would like to try some stuff in the simulator first.
What Controller do you recommend for using with the simulator?
Try a Pebblebee
FPV Zoolander
Awesome thanks mango, but can you do a tut on that intro, so lit.
Nice to meet you.
Can you subscribe to each other?
I want to communicate drones with you.
Thank you.
what goggles do you ahve and is there anything you can do to get rid of the interference that you get when you fly? does the more expensive goggles get rid of that?
Shortest answer, the PID (or at least PI depending on the manufacturer) controller that most people are familiar with is cruise control on their car. Proportional (how far off the error is – ie you’re going 20mph when the preset is 65), Integral – how much accumulated error you have (30mph off for 10 seconds implies the need for more correction than 30 mph off for 1 second), Derivative – How fast the current state is changing relative to the desired output. In other words, if you went from 30mph below desired to 26 mph below in 1/8 of a second, you’re going to overshoot the desired speed in less than 1 second at current inputs. The idea of the PID is to get you where you want to be, quickly, comfortably and without overshooting (ie it would be bad to accelerate to 75, drop to 58, then up to 72, down to 60, up to 67 and back to 65….you want a smooth “round off” of the acceleration rather than oscillating/ringing above/below.
its not FPV racing its fpv freeacro
That’s a superb video. Very honest. 👏
sodder? whats sodder?
Dji is costly
Nice vivint system
bruh theres so much information on the internet wtf r u talking about
Hello, This is from Hong Kong, I am a beginner . thx for your video I got a lot information, and glad that you build it, bro
Yup could of saved a tone of money if you didn’t use DJI parts

Seeing a guy who has no Idea what a PID is learning to tune a PID was worth watching this video !
Could you please tell me what sim you used to practice with ? thanks
just like guitar
Dont get why yanks n Canadians pronounce Sol-der, as sodder. so weird.
What is the name of fpv simulator??
…Aaaaaand that’s why you practice soldering on a $3 blank PCB instead of $500 worth of electronics. I feel like he made that far more painful and challenging then it needed to be.
Hi. How Can I fix dji camera with gimbal set to any drones?
thanks! very informative 🙂
Can you give me the link of the stimulator?
Such classic storytelling… making me laughing 😆 must watching during COVID-19 quarantines ✌️
It is the future do watch drl
It takes money alot , sad for poor guys😭 and last thing me poor too😥
honestly you can check for short circuits you should’ve checked your controllers more, i mean you wasted so much money
It’s an expensive hobby indeed 🛑
Thankyou
Thankyou
What FPV flight simulator did you use?
PID usually stands for the proportional, integral, derivative regulator (control). I was studying it 15 years ago, so I might forget something but this is what I remember.
P needed to react on Present adjustments, you are asking motors to use more power and it uses more power directly linearly. Imagine drone is falling down and you use more power because the drone is heavy, it will not immediately change its direction, it will keep falling for some time, and you keep increasing power more and more because you think it is still not enough, but at some point of time it will change direction and power will be so hight so it will go up very fast and you slowing down, and process repeat, so you will never be able to keep level.
So you need an integral part, this part is using history, and longer power is changing to one direction the smaller adjustments going to be, you want to use it if you want to keep the same level for a long period of time.
And the derivative part, it actually looking to the future, it is trying to predict what you want, so if you increase power quickly from neutral position all the way to the highest, it will exaggerate it and ask motores to work on full as fast as possible.
So it can be tuned based on your need.
Hi mate what simulator do you have? I’ve been looking into it all and I would like to get the sim first thanks
Why is this so complicated? Why isn’t there a company that sell those already fly ready?
using a racing drone is not in itself a competitive sport and using it for cinematic purposes is a valid reason to enter this hobby as unless your a profession racer i wouldn’t really be putting “150% of my focus” into this as to mast people this is just a hobby and unlike a youtuber we don’t get paid for this type of stuff that’s why it is a hobby
Did you purchase Mode 1 or Mode 2 and why?
Hello guys…I m also a you tuber
I make videos on education…
I will be very thankful to you if you visit my channel 🙏..
Would you recommend buying a FPV racing drone “ready made” and tweaking it?
How do you get your hair like that?
My fpv parts r coming this weekend cant wait to build it!!
Thanks for this video! I really appreciate it. I have been considering getting into the FPV realm. Thanks so much! LiveLifeWithAView!!
There is tons of help you need to go into forums to get the info and when I was a kid we called these quadracopters.
There are tons of videos about how to build and fly.
I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE ANSWERS IT I HOPE YOU NOTICE THIS. How far can it go? The range of it.
Wow you are the most straight talking guy I’ve seen for ages. I sort of new FPV would be a pain in the ass but not how much. You’ve just saved me a ton of time wasting. You are a very talented young fella. You have a bright future Sawyer.
This is the worst video about fpv its very simple soldering its not that expensive you can build a good one with a radio for about 350 or probably cheaper you can just pop it out of you back pack and get some cinematic shots its not just for racing. There are sooo many videos on youtube for this hobby makes it sound so hard and unobtainable but its really not that steep of a learning curve. So please stop misinforming beginners and people that want to get into the hobby
whats the range of a FPV drone?
Thanks for this video. Informative and inspiring.
I’m in this hobby for a long time… You are maybe the only one who ever explained it right for new people!
Great video, you are great, keep up awesome videos like this. Well done!
Am I not the only one who cringed when he said LiPo like lip-o
Can you add safety foam around the propellers
I’m not taking advice from a guy that has guitars and snowboards mounted on the wall… nopeee
Some of your video looks like you’re on Oahu.. great video. I’m just getting interested into FPV and I watched your cinewhoop vs racing drone video.. Thanks for that.. you’re saving me some money.
Not much information to find about them? lmfao xD
Dude where you live??? that looks like a island!
Can you fly a Mavic 2 FPV?
Man i just mesmerized with your strat behind you, are those 72??
What simulator is good?
when the title says “how to build a cinematic FPV…” when there’s totally no instructions on how to connect everything in ESC, flight controller, transmitter, motor, etc. lol
Find any bones on your first cliff dive?
Hey… you look Jesse’s brother
What sim are you using?
this guys says 150hours in a game is too much lol
HOW CAN YOU FORGET UAVFUTERS
You can get a smoke stopper so you don’t have to buy a whole new drone every time you plug in a battery.
When i started the first time i was so nervous. You spend a lot money and you dont want so crash 🙂
But now its the coolest hobby and you can make so beautiful videos of landscapes.
Btw. nice location with the mountain an the beach!
Bro you just cleared up a giant mess of wires all scrambled in my head. Dec 2015 I was injured, Jan2016 I got my first drone, one month later the first Phantom a few more months the mighty racing drone, now I know exactly what you are taking about, I still can’t fly worth a shit, but now I will get me a simulator. Why haven’t I thought of that. Thank you, as we get older sometimes we need a little brain jolt.
The most frustrating thing is how expensive everything is
Jesus ! Sounds completely crazy ! haha… count me in 😛

It is a scientific miracle. The sea and the other sea don’t mix .
This dude is so humble and driven
8:10 all of the missing features u mentioned r there u just need a gps module and need to set betaflight or inav
ha ha, building a drone without knowing how to solder?
Thank you , you are over confident , You cant build best drone , it will destroy your plans……Trust me…..End of day you want to fly stan drone…
Li-po (lie po)
Practice soldering and for the love if got get good solder and the right temperature
Can’t you fix a fish line to the drone so when you crash it somewhere then you can pull it back. At least for the sake of the gopro you will otherwise waste.
Also mother nature hates waste.
Wish I could try this, want to know if will get dizzy before spending hundreds
Inspiring bro!🔥🔥
