My budget is under $1k, and I have a boxer radio I am a beginner but I have flown other drones as in the mavic 2 which I was pretty good at. So if anyone could help that would be much appreciated.
#Hey, I need help finding a fpv drone.

id say get skyzone cobra x v2
radiomaster boxer elrs
hota d6 pro
cnhl black 6s 1300mah
nazgul5 v2 or v3 analog 6s elrs
ionic rose
if your in the US you can get the CNHL Green LiPos which are cheaper and a little better than CNHL black

I have a intermediate kit, i have the geprc smart 35 analog elrs which is a 3.5" prop size, radiomaster zorro elrs, I'm getting the skyzone sky04L V2 which is a really good goggle but they are pricey, if you want a decent starter goggles i recommend either skyzone cobra x v2 or ev800ds. for my drone i use 850 mah gnb 4s lipo batteries, i have a chnl 3s 2000 mah lipo battery for my goggles for more battery life. my charger for the lipo batteries is the Gens ace IMARS III Pro. also the radiomaster zorro needs 18350 batteries, i would do research to make sure you know what actually get for different things but this is my stuff i have. I'm not saying get this, this is my recommendation if you have practiced in a simulator and understand the basics.

The Mavic 2 skills won't translate over very well. In terms of size, pick a size that matches where you'll be flying most. Indoors? Whoop. Small park? Toothpick. Huge field? 5".
You'll get a feel for what you want and where you want it further along the hobby, but don't get something you don't enjoy flying.

i want mostly outside, and i just bought a boxer radio so anything compatable drones with that would be great
i want it a little durrable tho

Mobula7 1s (non hd)
leaden temple
Boxer elrs?
yes
leaden temple
Mobula7 1s (non hd)
does it still shoot 4k?
leaden temple
i have one already
leaden temple
Or slap a GoPro on the top of a 5 inch
ill just do this
smoky swift
Then get the original list I sent
leaden temple
cause im getting the gopro 12 anyways
smoky swift
I still reco buying the mobula7 1s just to learn on
leaden temple
ok
smoky swift
And also do you know how to solder/have a soldering iron?
leaden temple
Cuz ur going to need it
for what?
smoky swift
To fix ur drone
leaden temple
i’m not building one myself
smoky swift
When u crash
leaden temple
oh
ok that’s ez
are they hard to fix based off ur crashes?
@smoky swift the mobula7 1s already has a camera, is it possible to take it off for the gopro?
smoky swift
Google view

Freestyle 5"-7" is gonna be best for fast motion footage. Cinewhoops just do not have the speed and agility you need for waterfalls, ravine dives, mountain surfing, etc

@leaden temple do you want to see good quality video mid-flight or is only after (getting it out of the GoPro) good enough?

There budget is $1000 otherwise I’d have said dji v2 and a vista or maybe o3
And analog don’t look to bad with cobra x and nazgul5 camera

Why a 1300mah and not 1500 or 1800?
smoky swift
5 inch for a first fpv drone?
My first was 5 inch too, but flew 20+ hours in a simulator first before trying acro in real life
smoky swift
Why a 1300mah and not 1500 or 1800?
Good weight to flight time balance
leaden temple
<@589203279922069517> do you want to see good quality video mid-flight or is onl...
yes please
sage chasm
@leaden temple you misunderstood my question
leaden temple
lemme read again
sage chasm
I'm asking which you want to see in the FPV goggles
leaden temple
yea i’m noticing now
lmfao i’m retarded bare with me 😭
is it possible to get both,
?*
leaden temple
nah ur good i understand
sage chasm
I can see where it's confusing yu
sage chasm
nono
I wrote it a bit dumb
Gopro recording - that's a constant. You can get that in any case.
But, are you okay with only getting good video from the gopro (so after the flight), but getting pretty shitty footage in the FPV goggles?
sage chasm
well, it's analog video
there are digital video systems with considerably better video quality
but that shit's expensive
leaden temple
is it possible to get good quality google and good quality video from gopro?
i have gopro already
that doesn’t count in budget
smoky swift
is it possible to get good quality google and good quality video from gopro?
No that's not how it works
sage chasm
the gopro is a completely independent device
in case you meant to use the gopro as the FPV camera
leaden temple
ik
smoky swift
in case you meant to use the gopro as the FPV camera
Maybe with wifi connection possible but very bad
ionic rose

Unflyable latency
sage chasm
alr so i would rather have better video with go pro
ignore the gopro
smoky swift
Unflyable latency
I know the GoPro stuff will never work
sage chasm
I confused you with some stuff, so, just, take the gopro out of the equation. @leaden temple
leaden temple
i would rather have good footage after
leaden temple
ok
sage chasm
There is analog video. It's cheap.
There's digital video. It's expensive, but looks 10x better.
smoky swift
i would rather have good footage after
The GoPro is for the good video footage but forget it for now
leaden temple
There's digital video. It's expensive, but looks 10x better.
how expensive
how much
sage chasm
I was asking if you're okay with flying with shit quality in the goggles and only later getting the best quality footage out of the gopro.
Alternatively, you could get good quality in the goggles, and then also get the best quality footage out of the gopro, but that costs considerably more money.
There are two video systems which would be relevant. Walksnail and DJI HD FPV.
leaden temple
about how much more money tho
sage chasm
Idk what's available in that regard right now, but the goggles are the major part of the expense.
you'll have to find out
ionic rose
sage chasm
it consists of two/three parts - the VTX aka Air Unit (DJI) in the drone, and the goggles, or goggles+HD video receiver @leaden temple
leaden temple
oh so i’m building it?
sage chasm
well, okay, there's also HDZero system, but that's a very slight increase in quality over analog (but great latency)
sage chasm
oh so i’m building it?
no, you can buy prebuilts with the stuff, but the choice is more limited
and they're ofc more expensive
I'm telling you to do some more research in that direction basically 😄
leaden temple
yea i can see lol
ionic rose
well, okay, there's also HDZero system, but that's a very slight increase in qua...
I hate when people say very slight it’s a big difference in my opinion
Although WS and DJI are miles better
sage chasm
I hate when people say very slight it’s a big difference in my opinion
okay it's good, but compared to WS and DJI it's ass
and I hate its stupid image artifacts
they make me queasy
leaden temple
okay it's good, but compared to WS and DJI it's ass
what happens if i just stay with the cheaper option
sage chasm
what happens if i just stay with the cheaper option
you mean analog video?
leaden temple
yes
sage chasm
it's just worse quality video
technically also a bit worse at going through obstacles/distance
but on the other hand you get a lot more choice in hardware
leaden temple
if i buy avata is that fine
sage chasm
idk
DJI stuff is beyond me
the only thing I accept from that company is the HD FPV system, the rest of the company could burn for all I care
leaden temple
i want a durable drone.. for obvious reasons lol
i’ll honestly take any drone that can carry a go pro and propellers are covered
ionic rose
Cinewhoops may look more durable but they are definitely not
The prop guards are to protect things around them
sage chasm
sure
leaden temple
so i’ll just tag u once i’m home
smoky swift
once i get on my pc i could show u guys which i was looking at
Get yourself a 5 inch
smoky swift
once i get on my pc i could show u guys which i was looking at
But yeah take ur time and show us so it's easier for us to understand what exactly you're looking for
leaden temple
Get yourself a 5 inch
yea was going to
well first off i got a boxer radio to practice on sim
static sleet
if i buy avata is that fine
theres a glitch where it will just fall out the sky sometimes
also wont work with your boxer
so you will need to buy their overpriced 230$ radio
(which is terrible may i add)
smoky swift
theres a glitch where it will just fall out the sky sometimes
Only with the avata?
Dont buy the avata please
static sleet
Only with the avata?
hasnt happened to my potato but i still dont like it
the radio started uncontrollably yawing when i throttle up after like 2 months of use
smoky swift

Potato = ?
Dji fpv
All the dji made prebuilt fpv drones suck

agreed

''crashes''

“Crashes”
I had my eachine fall from 10-20m on concrete and the frame is still fine
smoky swift
Everything else was broken (antenna, props, motor protectors, some screws,.. that kind of stuff) but the frame survived
smoky swift
i havent crashed my apex evo frame on concrete yet luckily
You will be a happy man as long as that doesnt happen
leaden temple
sage chasm
I removed the embeds because they suck (hopefully removed them for everyone not just me kek)
put the links on individual lines
sage chasm
you could've just edited that..
leaden temple
ok well that was easier
sage chasm
so, how did your Digital system research go?
leaden temple
so, how did your Digital system research go?
wym thats what i got from it
those 3 drones
leaden temple
oh
sage chasm
and what video you get from it, live and recorded..
leaden temple
sage chasm
those are cobras
leaden temple
so
leaden temple
ok
sage chasm
There are currently 3 major digital systems.
DJI HD FPV (has multiple versions with a complicated compatibility chart)
Walksnail
HDZero
this is in order from best video to worst video
all of them are better in video quality than analog
NONE of them are compatible with each other, or analog
They either have specific goggles or specific video receiver modules
@leaden temple
leaden temple
ok so ill look through these
sage chasm
the cobras that you sent are analog.
leaden temple
the cobras i didnt do research on
someone just sent them here so i stuck with them
sage chasm
Cobras are good analog goggles
but for digital you need to look for other options 😄
They're expensive, that's why I want you to check out if it feels like a worthwhile investment to you.
Look up video comparisons, preferably some recent ones as Walksnail has been upgraded a lot over time (with firmware)
smoky swift
someone just sent them here so i stuck with them
I sent em here along with an analog quad
