I flew every Betaflight 4.2 PID preset. The best one blew my mind. 

This man has made every video known to man on the hobby of fpv. You search one thing and joshua bardwell is literally everywhere

"I feel really in control and I don't know why". Love it.

Joshua you really improving! Im watching all your videos for a while now and im starting to see new things in your freestyle sessions!! Keep it up man 🤙

I'm learning a lot today. I'm basically bingeing all your BF 4.1 and 4.2 vids to tune my quads. Great stuff!

I think I shall be trying the Cinematic preset this weekend;) Thanks for the demo!

Very interesting. Looking forward to seeing your in-depth videos on BF 4.2 Happy flying, 🤓

Always enjoy your vids Josh!

Nice content as always! Love the new end videos!

I always watch till the end.

Man I love your channel! :D

I really really enjoy watching these

Yes JB I watch all your vids all the way to the end lol!

Til the end! 👍😂 Anyway that's really good to know as always.. Thanks man

I always watch till the end. Lol. Iv learned a lot from watching your videos.

You star! I was going mad trying to figure out what didn't feel right and how to fix it with the default pids, went with this approach and now my hawk is singing again. I learned something today.

That last pack bro was sweet your throttle control really good 👍

Your tricks in this one looked super smooth

Dude! Great stuff! I didn't know about the presets

I got that same woah feeling when I tried the Cinematic preset... I never flew circles round a tree that steady before and my twitchy stick inputs were all smoothed out. That was really awesome!

Great Job!!!

Get the Betaflight 4.2 presets here: github.com/betaflight/betaflight/wiki/4.2-Tuning-Notes#quick-settings

that intro is tooo funny lol God bless you Joshua and all

I'm confused. I learned something today, but you dodn't tell me I was going to. Sooo did I really learn something today?

4th :) thanks for the vidz, always entertaining!

Those sideways flips were so moth. Great flying. Trying 4.2 out this evening:)

This should be in the BF 4.2 playlist, to have all 4.2 specific videos in one place. I will definetly try the cinematic preset.

I have been flying with 4.2 since rc1, as a beginner I find this 4.2 to be really nice. One thing I was surprised is how good the filters work. Had a bad crash and lost my soft mounts, now the fc is hard mounted with steel bolts and nylon nuts. I have rpm filter enabled and sliders pushed to 2.0 and so far no problems.

they should just put those presets in a drop down in rate setting tab

Best intro ever!

you describe it perfectly :DD that's how i feel since bf4.2 too.

Yes allways to the End- ilove it

...that HD cinematic tune looks like it's on rails....🤘😎💨

3 packs a day is good. I did this back in 2012 to get good at LOS quad acro. You can do more than 3, and on rainy days fly an indoor quad. It works! In 3 months time you will see a huge difference! You are already pretty good btw. I need to do tjis as well, my fpv flying could use some help

That's the one preset I haven't tried yet 😂 thank you sir

Nice Ferris Bueller reference at the end there!!! LOL

Everytime JB hits a branch.. do a shot 😂🤣😂🤣

Your practice program is giving you results! As fellow beard owner, you gotta find a conditioner that works for you.

I tried the cinematic setting, then my motor 3 starts acting weird. all motors arm fine but 3 shuts down when takes off. then I flash with JESC ( I panicked....), but 3 motors showed flash failed, motor 1, 2, and 4, not the problem 3. so I'm starting all over again as if I first got this quad. I hope I'm not making it worse. how strange is it.

This man deserves more than he gets !!!

@JB, you overlooked an important part of the 4.2 puzzle, make sure to turn off the ADC filters on openTX radios, the device where clear to do so before attempting running some of the more aggressive scripts (even if turning xfireshot).

I like BF, but sometimes I wish I had a chef around to teach me how to cook with all the new ingrediants,lol Thanks JB.

I'll be try these out very soon. They look decent

Would you recommend Cinematic PIDs for someone just learning to fly?

"Hold on, my beard itches" Been there haha

Jb about to have everyone flying cine presets 😆 gonna go load it up now...

For extra weight (camera, or bigger battery etc) how do you change your PIDs. There is any general rules? Thx a lot.

What are you running for rates and deg/s these days? Looks smooth and responsive.

Hello very nice videos I love your channel 👍. I want to build a new freestyle copter and looking for good motors which motor you can recommend? Parts what I will use to build 4s lipo, f7 flight controller, armattan rooster frame 4 in 1 esc F55A T-Motor. Thanks for your help

Luv u Bardwell ❤️

I want to build a 5inch freestyle but I'm not great with betaflight would a 4.2 preset be the best option for me? I have a 5inch which was tuned for my by someone else but that's not an option anymore, I also fly a tinyhawk 2 freestyle I would love it if anyone had improved the pids

Are there any parameters set for three inch sir? I still cant get my gecko flying right on 4.1.2

Nice end part

is there a possibility to make a comparison between betaflight and emuflight? i mean the latest versions...

great flyin bro! lets orbit a lil bit......BAMM!! awww man i drifted out too far and smakked the post lol!!

I was initially super disappointed with 4.2 but maybe I'll give it another go. I had the same issues at the beginning, massive bounce backs/prop wash and bobbles that I could not tune out in the usual way, actually thought I had a weak motor/esc until I flashed back to original firmware/tune and was great again.

funny i remember a set point that made the quad feel telepathic, telepathic and slightly better pilot than me, like i would input sticks and the quad would say h he wants a 3/4 roll and then pull up, but i would make a twitchy mess of it, but set point thing completed the move like i was a pro, completely disconcerting hehehe, turned it off.

You might want to try disabling lpf1 on the gyro since it generally doesn't do anything on clean quads with Rpm filtering on 4.2. I would log it and check it out. Make sure you have 3 harmonics checked on Rpm filtering.

at 13:03, raise both sliders to 1.2? P and D gain, and P/D Balance? Thanks JB!

Amazing! But full flail on the the buffet vs sushi chef's choice analogy. @JB next time you are in in the North SF bay area, please let me take you to sushi!

Silly Question. Can/do FPV drones have Flight overlay in the goggles? things like a pitch ladder and such? i have seen some videos with it and wondered if it is only in after effects or if there are programs to do that live?

First like comment and view bro I’m building my own fpv quad copter and you are helping me

I feel like this is "double rainbow" mixed with "JB meets Feedforward Transition and iTermRelax

Is it possible to put the cinematic preset on a switch on the taranis and be able to alternate between that and default settings?

Yes, till the end and subscribed :) is bf4.2 out?

That beard is 🔥 joshua

Filtered RC and FF round off sudden stick stops, and that helps with minimising P wobbles.

All the way every time

Oh, I know this place. I've been there in LiftOff. 😀

Bardwell you are gem and must be protected at all costs. That intro, the banter with yourself, some humour, self-depreciation and humble-bragging - but as always I did learn something today. ❤

Is this presets are good for my 3 inch acro quad ?

4:51....."If you have to shoot, SHOOT ....don't talk" -Tuco, circa 1966. From the movie epic....The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. JK man. Good stuff and as always...Fascinating 🤔

Thanks joshua

On 10.7 and can not find any info on these presets. I looked on the wiki, is it a cli command or is it in BF somewhere? I just cant find it. I like the cinimatic setting from what I just watched. Thx.

tell us about those new axii 2 duo's!

Nice ending.

I broke my first frame and got my new one today.Next time im juat going to spring for a legit one. I need to see if its worth it.i would have to told steel to keep those props.and that tune at the end was abrupt but smooth. Very nice

TL;DR.......Betaflight has figured out how to make 'flow' into a setting. Joshua, I have to say thank you for your advice about dumping any previous notion of PIDS and using the sliders from scratch in 4.2.1 and another video where you talk about expo. I have struggled for nearly 3 years to get 'gud', not knowing what RCExpo actually does and never played with it. Well, last night I set some expo up with a few tweaks of the sliders from default and well, lets just say there's no more panicking for small gaps, split s' are snappy, flat and accurate, smooth flying fast an inch from the ground is a no-brainer and the quad essentially just does what I want when I want. I have some high throttle oscillations that I need to get rid of though......Less p-term?

What’s your favorite preset ? Loved your ending, swear you copied that from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Where do you find these presets? Link anyone?

Why don’t I hear about expos in controls when it comes to drones? I’m assuming you can tone down the center stick for more subtle corrections . I haven’t made the jump yet from wings . But looking to sooner than later . Still in my research phase .

I'm embarrassed, I just switched from BF 4.0 to 4.3 just the other day. Too much fun just flying... Now you got my attention with presets. Can you do an in-depth under-the-hood explanation of what's going on with the couple of ELRS presets? JB Style!

The force is with you my friend! Great flying sir.. Oh and im curious if you teach your kids how to fly? Or actually im not sure how many kids you have or there ages. Your wife does she fly? I cant get my girlfriend to hardly even put the goggles on or hold my transmitter...lol

I'm new. How do i add these presets?

Hello Joshua, can i get your Freestyle Preset B.F 4.2 H.D ?

yes i watch to the end i love you senpai

anyone know how you dump these settings into our cli? when I do it it just copy and paste it doesn't seem to change anything?

Thumbs up, Joshua, that's great stuff! I didn't tried the "Cinematic" for the fear of "dull" flight feel - until now! Will check it out tomorrow :-)

Would it be possible to set all these modes/presets to the switches? So you can just flip them and change your drones flying characteristics?

Yup, I watch your videos to the end..lol..heee..heee

Hey maybe the cinematic one is like the dynamics rates of emuflight 3.1 working with the feedforward :)

How do i install this cinematic preset in CLI do type set and paste?

I'm really digging that new line gap you found!

can we see what it looks like with the sliders etc?? the cinematic preset with sliders i mean!~

that antennas so big :)crazy

the 2nd video is what im talking about. dont think im gushing joshua. this is the style i hope to work from.

Your property is pretty cool.

Hay Joshua, with the presets do I just copy and paste into cli? Thankyou

Now to hit liftoff and try this move.. the Bardwell twist

I have a question. If I fly my pack ( 1300 mah Lipo 4s 100c ) on my 5“ Quad, and my voltage is down completely, I only used 200-400 mah or so. Is that normal? What’s happening here? Could it be that my ampere indicator is wrong? Because it seems to show relatively low values. Maybe it’s for one ESC only.

Wouldn't it make sense to link to the page with all the BF 4.2 presets you're talking about and flying?
