10 FPV Trends That DIED 

Lol, ikr. All I was thinking of was paying for my whole setup again😂

I think Drib should replace all our analog gear! ;)

@@nightwingfpv and my hdo's too

If you're starting from scratch, the digital stuff is not more expensive than a high-end analog setup. There surely is a use-case for both systems still, but analog is clearly inferior in many ways.

@@RufftaMan agreed

soooo was it a all a joke then?

@@gautamkrishna7421 Always has been

@@v1zhual 😱😱😱😱

I only fly Johnny FPV soft mount tape

I still use tape under

That would actually be sick, great idea!

medlin drone does this

Dji already does that

Question how one would apply camera tilt, would it be gyroscope controlled?, or you land on the ground, tilt camera and fly again. I was thinking same thing but just cant imagine practical usage of or, or practical implementation

Cough Avata 2

If you want a swoushiness yaw build a Tricopter

@John Grzeskowiak why now?

Still planning on doing it lmao

God bless the EV800D! They got me into fpv last year, and they are here to stay for a long time, fuck the overpriced fatsharks and dji googles... Fucking rich boys... I wish I was one of you 😢😢😅

@@joaodncartaxo same but i somehow got my parents to get hdo used of course

Best one

@@brokenpropfpv8917 lucky you that have sponsors! I have to sort out pennies from the couch because the rest of the money goes to sponsor my own kid 😅

@@joaodncartaxo can't you like take some of your money and each month take like 50$ or less and put it in like piggy bank?

or low latency

@@synkopa Why does everyone keep talking about the latency still? I went from flying with fatsharks for almost 3 years, and now the DJI stuff for the past month - the only latency is the number you see in the goggles, there isn't any thats noticable, and based on RC Shims latest tests, the actual difference is about 5ms, when using top of the line fatshark hdo2's with rapidfire, and ratel camera. If your analog gear is inferior to that, the latency ends up being more than digital. People forget that analog has latency too, you just don't have the ability to see it in your goggles, so nobody mentions it. Anyone that says they can feel the difference is full of it, or is finding some reason that doesn't exist to hate it. I've been hating on the DJI stuff for over a year, but now that I fly it, I can't ever go back to analog. Don't try it unless you can afford it, thats my advice to everyone. Analog is just fine, and I suggest folks stick with it until the price goes down and DJI has some competition.

@@RADERFPV oh, i am just concerned about the price of dji. that is all. i admit. i am just trying to find reasons to hate it. you are a good person. i hope. plz kill me

@@synkopa LMAO :) I feel ya, it is way too much money, especially in today's climate.

That is right. Until then if analog is still around i will keep to the cheaper side of things!

Who? 🤣

Try the vtx03s, it's like 12€ and it's 200mw, and smartaudio ( and it's a small transmiter

@@i_am_terom4810 Thanks for the information! Truth is I just orderd a used skyone goggles and an vtx up to 800mW. My comment was in the first place to make a statement.

Are these high mW legal in your country? In my country we are only allowed to use 25mW

@@jogilowe1090 same. I'm frome germany. (I mostly fly on 200mw though xD) idk why but my range is very bad, compared to all the yt stuff. Probably they just use way higher quality gear I can't afford :D :(

@@myryk if you use stock antennas on your googles, throw them in a garbage and buy some quality ones like foxxer lolipop for around 15$ for a set of two. What googles are you using?

I could've got DJI and still can, BUT.. 1. 2x heavier unmodded. 2. No small drones with cheap batteries for playing for long periods with many batteries. 3. Very expensive drones you can't relax with properly. 4. They have higher latency. 5. Image cuts to black immediately making it more likely to lose or crash expensive drone. 6. Only 2 cameras actually look O.K. (i own 4k TV's) 7. Dji is and always has been just a flying camera company for photographers. 8. Stress, worry, devastation, ect. 9. I'm not stupid.

@@ThirstysURL just an absolute masterclass in stroking your own ego, incredible work.

@@ThirstysURL DJI is for photography, not for racing, if you want a racing/fpv drone, you're in the wrong department cheif.

@@FastGamingSeries Not currently but give it a year and I swear every racer will be on digital.

@@Hughjanus720 yup, funny that someone takes offence for others negative comments too.

Now using same servos just for head tracking

Lmfao all that for “easy landing”🤡 People will never stop to amaze me. Spend 20h in a SIM just landing on 30” angle or whatever your is and get better at the actual flying rather than wasting the same amount of time to build a short cut and still be 💩 without an ability to even land. that is literally pathetic. What type of PILOT you are if you need a helping wheels🤡 These people need to get a grip and grow up.

Can you post a build guide please

It's easy to expect everybody to have the best gear when you are sponsored and have companies throwing all the latest gear at you to be in your videos.

Haha! Kinda true on the disconnect from community. I don’t know one person I fly with that has used the dji stuff

Yup, Mr Steele is still using couch, mainly becouse he uses some piece of velcro to protect gopro from falling out and then his quad is lighter. Even for normal size gopros.

Yep best quad I’ve ever flown. Hands down. Overpriced is subjective. Top notch components come at a price with everything in life.

Yes it does, I don't think crashing is really something Mr Steele thinks about in his designs.

@@bengmo64 exactly that quad is like buying a road bike.

@@apsfpv2217 Building my third one- best quad ever and completely KISSed and Cross-fired! Analog wont die until digital can beat that latency.

So true, i cant wait for auto pid tuning. Its the one part of the hobby i just dont care to mess with.

Have a look at this if you want auto PID tuning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J_VRE0-kK4A.html

@@timhowitz9405 i just finished watching and im very intregued, thanks for the recommendation!

in Ardupilot there is a autotune fiture i dont now why bettaflight doesnt do the same

I like pid tuning, its like a puzzle

Great episode dudes!

Yeah I just bought a analog set-up. Don't get me wrong DJI is awesome and all but I don't want any of that remote Id shit in my quad. And the GPS gio maps that only let you fly certain places

I think DJI will be their biggest competition. They'll release new models, and the price of the previous will go down. More people will go digital, but still chase that dragon of the newest digital option.

I carry 3 extra sets of $40 FPV goggles to give to people that pass by and ask questions. You're up DJI.

I'd go one step farther and say analog won't die until there's an open standard for HD that companies can iterate on and improve

The thing is, soft-mounting needs some mass to be effective. Some things don't scale linearly, the mass goes down with size^3 so while it's fine to soft-mount the big & heavy IMU of a fighter jet but on a drone the flight controller might just not have enough mass on its own to be effectively soft-mounted. Not saying soft-mounted motors are the solution, but there is some justification to it.

@@user-zi8jn1go8k soft mounts above and below the arm with locktite to keep the screws in so you don't have to tighten the screws excessively.

Imagine a stereoscopic FPV tiny whoop...! Exploring your house or other spaces like gently going through the branches of trees could be quite something.

I like the idea on a whoop. You'd either have added weight or half the resolution. Both would suck.

@@WeGotThisGames details??

​@@WeGotThisGamesyou need to show this off! id love to see the setup

My favorite was the Simple Copter Vtail until I build a mini of the Simple Copter Vtail on a 3D printer. A blast to fly.

Congrats on your sobriety, keep it up. Glad this great hobby is helping you👍👊

Keep up the great work man! FPV has helped me also!

Why do you live ur life in constant pain?

No... you must watch me make coffee, or go get a coffee on an electric skateboardy thingy, and then watch me endanger people on the roads while I yammer on about my mood lately in the driver's seat of a moving car, making disturbingly prolonged eye contact with a lens held at arms length. That covers the first 20 minutes. Next we're going to watch me stage a received phone call to arrange a meet with another RU-vidr at a "bando" prior to my arriving at a solo warm-up spot to setup a tripod so you can bear witness to my pulling up to said spot a second time, cause Neistat. After another 10 minutes of complaining about gear and being excited about the bando, we're going to show 1m29s of low energy "freestyle", cause we don't want to break anything before the big bando meet. Also I don't actually care about drones, but it's my way "in"; (as in "INfluencer"). Another 10 minutes whingeing on the road and another staged arrival will bring us to the main event, where I get to moan in person to the guy we're all already tired of, from the phone call earlier. After another 5-10 minutes of "bro bruh bro" talk and feigned paranoia about "security", that's right... another 1m29s of sweet sweet slightly faster freestyle, this time with a more energetic song selection from RU-vid's acceptable catalog of tired ad-friendly modern musak. Then we'll close it all down with a 3 minute outro involving belligerent, obtrusive camera work during semi-drunken dinner time while psychologically abusing the wait staff in a "rando" ethnic eatery with some e-begging thrown in for good measure. There's the formula... don't abuse it! Or I mean abuse it, a lot. Like every single time. The loudest voice in my head happens to be a crass cynic, yet I still watch this crap like an addict. My reflections are surely a bit funhouse, I'm aware.

Best comment in here. It’s true. I can’t stand watching FPV related videos either. I fly for me and couldn’t give a shit what the latest hype is. Could never stand vlogs either. Came across as narcissistic. Only trolling the comments. I didn’t even watch the vid do to what I just mentioned.

@@anthonyugarte1072 I am not upset or insecure, but I don’t like the crazy hair colors. It is no more than an opinion. I happen to be a fan of the pilot who wears eyeliner.

@@erik120719 not insecure, just judgemental

I wonder if it would work better if they were even further apart than your eyes

I fly fatsharks and DJI, and there's no difference, at least not any thats actually noticeable.

@@RADERFPV you'll need to fly harder and on the edge then... ;) it is noticeable when coming from analogue to digital.

@@DutchCommando You could be right, I have been taking it pretty easy.

It has more delay by like 10-15ms but thats not the problem biggest problem is that its variable delay so it changes delay if u have a worse signal its only by like 5-10ms but racers notice it so ita bad for racers now racers are 1% of the community so everyone is better off with digital tbh unless ur on a budget high end analog is litteral waste of money UNLESS ur a top100 pro pilot

So u want digital in a box with a terrible screen and trash receiver? As long as high end analog is more expensive then digital i see no point in cutting the price even more

@@r00kiet80 The receiver wont be bad because it will be a digital receiver. The screen wont be bad because it's a big HD screen (analog example is the FatShark Scouts and Recons, they are pretty nice to look at). What will make it cheaper is not needing expensive focals/optics and all the stuff that's needed for them. You can also take out all HDMI in/out electronics. You can probably shave off $100 by having a Box HD solution.

@@r00kiet80 just one word ' privileged '

Dude, he just evolved. RU-vid isn't exactly a great source of income. He's making 6 figures shooting commercial gigs for high dollar productions. Still flying an open prop 5" freestyle rig. 2019 going into 2020, up until now he's gotten progressively more busy and demand for him is through the roof.

You can change rates/pids in betaflignt osd 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@noisy_boi_fpv_3920 Perhaps. Have not testet newer setups. But is that set up as standard, so you can purchase a quad, bind it to a radio, set it up and tune it through the OSD, all without using a computer.

Used to be a day you flew by holding onto a kite handle with two lines running out to your model...and it had no throttle, no yaw, no roll control, just pitch.

They’re a bunch of trendoids. They get free shit to use daily for pimping the products on they’re channels. You won’t see any Bardwells of FPV or RR guys using gear more than 3 months old.

Yeah. Tbh I like but I can feel the latency

@Jacob Baron Agreed, analogue tech is hugely affordable, 'open source', and lightweight. There's no chance of 1S 60g AUW HD toothpick builds or 29g AUW HD tiny whoops happening any time soon.

@@licensetodrive9930 And goggles that practically take up their own backpack... The marketplace doesn't exist for Digital - it's DJI. Bytefrost isn't nearly competitive at this point. I would guess we're 2-5 years from a real open digital standard in FPV.
