Wow you are great!! You made it so simple to understand!! Almost 10 years later I’m watching this and no one had done better after all this time!! Thank you for this video!!
I think you explained in 2 minutes something that most people don't quite get in a 2 hour lecture. It is overly simplified as you put it, but it's always better to get 101 over with before heading on!! Great video, got my thumbs up!!
My First Drone Thank you for all the amazing videos. I plan to start building my first drone this year and I have made a playlist of your building, and flying parts along with this PID video for future reference. Keep up the good work.
Nicely done. I've listened to a hundred guys give their opinions on how to set PIDs on racers, and none have done it as succinctly as you. Congrats ... you win the 'gold star' for the day! Cheers!
+Bill Somrak Agreed. Show and tell. I've managed to get my RoboCat setup pretty well now. I left the USB cable in the CC3D and then gradually tweaked P on Roll and Pitch until almost unstable (virtually no wobble) and then eased back P a bit to about 170 roll; 160 pitch, then set I, roll and 'I' pitch 10 below those. For D I have 53, 61, for roll, and pitch. Yaw was set by default to 760, 1310, 60 based on the Libre pilot template for the Quad X vanilla setup. I now need to go out in the wild and see how the wind effects the PID settings and re-tune accordingly. They're tricky to tune alright!
+Rob Atkinson I'm still using BaseFlight with my Naze32 Acro, so your numbers are way out for me. I think I currently have my ROLL: P=3.7 I=0.031 D= 23 For PITCH: P=3.2 I = 0.030 D=23 and YAW: P=8.4 I= 0.031 D=23. From my Taranis I can switch between Angle, Horizon & Acro modes. Think I need to increase my P because even in Angle mode, if I give quick input, ZMR250 has a tendancy to stay at the angle I put it, rather than return to level flight. Guess I need more tweaking.
I learnt to flight watching your videos, but now I need more advanced info about tuning and acro to advance to the next level, that's why I subscribed.
Dude, all of your guides are so useful for me. I went from knowing nothing to building my own. Well, I'm actually still building it, and I need to order a few more parts, but your videos and website really helped me get off the ground. Pun intended, sorry about that :P
OMG!!!!! i have been googling, wathing videos and reading the whole day, this is the best explanation i found, and by far the simplest to understand, 5 min after this vid i fixed my quads problem that i have had for almost 2 sleepless days lol, THANK YOU!!!!!
This is the best explanation I've seen for PID. I'm very new at this (I've been flying by Syma and just finished by 250 build) and several of your videos have helped a lot. You're a great teacher.
i've been looking around and reading some articles about PID but still was not sure what they were 100 percent . but it's all clear to me now after watching your short video . thanks for the great video and useful information.
out of everyone on RU-vid trying to explain how to tune pid you make the most sense. you simplified it and made a visible example. Amazing how the youngest teachers can be the best, your awesome. I dot know why it tells me to start my I double from that of my p if you do yours a little bit less than p instead. idk I'm gonna do some tuning and see for myself. thanks
Best explanation of this I have seen so far. Thanks from a rookie pilot/builder. best of all it's universel and not connected to only one flight controller
This video, no matter how short, has given me the answers that I have been searching for. Everything I read makes it so hard to understand. Thank you for this.
I think every newbie should watch this video because this is the basic and most well explained PID I have seen around. Of course there are lot of advanced explanations, but you will not understand them unless you get this basics! Thanks for sharing it!
This is a perfect video for a noob like me, been searching the internet for a long time looking for this simple explanation. "If the quad does this, change this." Well said, thanks for making the video, really helps.
This the best PID explanation for beginners. Thank you for sharing it!

I am Spanish Professor of Electrical Engineering. We are working with Quadcopters because they include a lot of automatics, filtering and so on. Your explanation is really great and intuitive :). Best Regards.
Nice job!! This video earned my subscribe. My quad is finally tuned. My quick roll and pitch changes stop on a dime - no more wobble. I took a leap of faith and just followed this tutorial: Only P (I and D at zero), then add I, then add D. It only took a few short line-of-site test flights. For the lazy, here are my results: ROLL: P 80, I 55, D 60 PITCH: P 90, I 60, D 60 YAW: P 100, I 34, Yaw Jump Protection 13 (I didn't actually tune YAW, but it's working fine) Specs: 250 Quad BetaFlight/NAZE 2.9.1 Aug 2 2016 / 22:47:45 (0ef6c3d) Fake GoPro on top 4S 1500mah on top 20A Little Bees FPV gear 2-blade 5030 props
This is the best explaination of PID that I have ever seen .....hats off man I am a beginner ( in quads ) and I needed just this kind of explaination to get started in drones
This video shows in a short and sweet way (without requiring a Doctorate's Degree) a clear understanding of PID's. Great job. Sometimes we don't need to get into the "minutia" of things. I would, however, ask you to consider a follow-up videos with actual demonstrations of incorrect PIDs and the "fixed" version. Again short and sweet. Great job!
Yoyo...Corey I was jus plundered older videos that I learned about multirotors 5yr ago...well haven't WE come a longggg way present day . Thought Id shout out to ya , we that have been chasing this hobby for awhile really appreciate the knowledge and effort you put in it back then. Thanks Bud
Thanks, that is an simple explaination on how to tune PID's on a quad. Now i do understand a little bit more on what the PI and D stands for, and what is doen. Thumbs up.
Great video. I'm just starting out and reading different forums and most of the posts say they need to tune their PID. Tried searching for the term and got alot of calculus that I wasn't really interested in. Your vid explained it very concisely. Thanks
I hope you know what you are talking about, because this is now my view on the world, and is worth some LARGE thumbs UP! THANKS!! If you could combine your descriptions with showing the quad actually flying, with bad/good PID´s it would be awesome!
Finally found a much simplex description of the rocket sciences of the "P.I.D.". Now I have an understanding of what needs to be done on my first 250 build.
