What happens when a real pilot experiences FPV for the first time? My friend Vangelis is a real pilot, and today we're going to take him for his first experience of real FPV. I mean he has the goggles for his DJI mini drone and thinks he's experienced FPV... but apart from the ride along using the DJI goggles in Audience mode, I might even give him the controls as well.
In this video I’m flying the Quadmula Siren F3 that I built in my last video and the tiny Flywoo firefly HD makes an appearance at the end too.

Drop some links to your (or other people’s videos) to inspire Vangelis in his FPV journey below!

What a cool idea for a video, Gareth! I subbed to Vangelis' channel. I'm glad to see you still enjoying your Siren F3! Awesome stuff, my friend!

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

I fly that siren F3 more than anything else still… but that’s for another video 😉

@dhalimon 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. This was very entertaining 😂

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! 😊 it was a lot of fun on the day filming this too!

@vikonomou 6 месяцев назад

Oh yeah!

@NoOneFPV 6 месяцев назад

I love it. Brilliant! :) It's always fun watching someone fly for the first time. ^..^

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

I think everyone (including me) has an idea of how that first flight is going to go… but it never goes the way we think it will 😂

@NoOneFPV 6 месяцев назад

@@GarethDix It never does, but on the flip side... It's always a fun time watching the reactions of a first timer. The inevitable full throttle (or dead throttle) panic is fun to watch!

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

@NoOneFPV and there’s always two types of people… 1 that goes too hard on the throttle and cuts it and 2 that doesn’t go hard enough to escape the ground effect and cuts it 😂

I just upgraded to the Goggles 2 from the Goggles V2. I'm still getting used to them, but the New Bee Drone Foam helped a lot. Next, I've got to get me a DJI Dildo Controller 2 so I can fly my Mini 3 Pro just like my Siren F5 Splits! 🤣

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

I must have tried 4 different foams until I found one that was like the one I used on my V2 and it made a huge difference! But yeah I was actually quite impressed by the mini 3 in FPV mode… almost considered getting one after filming this.

Vangelis is the greatest of all time!

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

He really is… that first flight definitely didn’t go anywhere near as badly as I thought it would 😂😂

@peter360adventures9 6 месяцев назад

Awesome. I fly both.

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

Do you fly fixed wings as well? I’m guessing that would be a bit more like a plane than a quad

@peter360adventures9 6 месяцев назад

@GarethDix I use to fly rc planes but now I fly fpv dji and non dji fpv I like helicopter and quad copers as I need less space. Than to fly rc planes.

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

@peter360adventures9 I’m guessing they’re also easier to land and less likely to break? 😂

@y_i_fly6256 6 месяцев назад

Vangelis did better than a lot of us on our first FPV flights. Wonder how he’ll be within a month or so of flying. Flying like Mr Steele maybe?

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

Within a month he’ll be freestyling X-class quads like Mr Steele 😂

@vikonomou 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, no 🥰

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

Maybe 2 months

@2perspektiva 2 месяца назад

Great video!

@GarethDix 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much! 😊

@carlettoburacco9235 6 месяцев назад

When your vulnerable and mushy body is inside the plane you soon learn to have an "attentive" way of thinking...... or they will hose your remains to clean the landing strip. The "walk of shame" (several of them) are the price to pay for the fun to come. A good first flight.

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

I’m pretty sure putting an FPV pilot behind the controls of a real plane would be quite an experience… “yeah don’t worry if I crash I’ll just replace the props” 😂 But yeah I’m still amazed at that first flight!

@kurtzFPV 6 месяцев назад

I sure wish they'd allow us to use the goggles v2 to fly the mini 3 pro too.

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

I’m sure there’s a good technical reason to do with the version of occusync it can use but you can’t help but think they’re trying to sell the new goggles instead. I’m glad the V2’s work with the FPV system though because now I have a spare!

@kurtzFPV 6 месяцев назад

@@GarethDix I've got two pairs of v2s, and am plenty happy with them, other than wishing they'd work with the m3p. I live in Florida, and I'm a bit scared off by complaints of the G2s fogging up in high humidity, plus concerns over fitment. I'm also getting into racing and half of my quads are analog, so not having av in to run analog on the G2s was the final deal breaker for me.

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

@kurtzFPV so with the standard “foam” they aren’t as good as the V2’s for fitment or heat management but since I replaced this with the fat foam (similar to what I had on my V2’s) it’s so much better. It gets hot here in the summer and it was ok but it’s not so humid where I am so I can’t comment on if it will fix the fogging completely

@GarethDix 6 месяцев назад

@kurtzFPV oh and on the analogue I didn’t think I would ever run anything other than digital but I’m considering messing around with tiny whoops for the winter indoors so I may have to keep my V2’s for that
