This site is my project to keep FPV info easily and more importantly quickly readable when needed. It's constantly getting updated, so expect new stuff (and maybe some bugs) to be added here and there

#

Btw

cosmic lark
dim hill
cosmic lark
dim hill
#

And analog is cheaper

cosmic lark
#

which one avata?

dim hill
#

Nono, dji has a camera system that can be used with fpv drones seperately

cosmic lark
#

oh

#

uhh

dim hill
#

So uh u need goggles but that depends on system

cosmic lark
#

i need goggles and drone, i have controller

#

i think ima go digital @dim hill

dim hill
#

Alr so u can get a mobula 8 which is a whoop for outdoors. You can get a crux35 for a 3.5" drone which will be bigger and more poweful, then there is a 5" drone

dim hill
cosmic lark
#

yea i think 5” is what i’m looking for

dim hill
#

Ok

#

I think a nazgul5 is a good option

#

It comes with digital

cosmic lark
#

5” and if possible cinematic

#

if possible

cosmic lark
dim hill
#

1400mah 6s battery

#

Cnhl, any other basically works

dim hill
cosmic lark
#

this one correct?

dim hill
#

If your going digital no, thats analof

#

Look for the one that says "03"

cosmic lark
#

oh yea i’m blind

dim hill
#

Ye

#

Ok imma walk my dog and be back

cosmic lark
#

alr now goggles

#

okk

dim hill
#

And hota d6 pro

cosmic lark
#

id say get skyzone cobra x v2
radiomaster boxer elrs
hota d6 pro
cnhl black 6s 1300mah
nazgul5 v2 or v3 analog 6s elrs

dim hill
#

Digital should fit into that budget i thibk

#

Might not

cosmic lark
#

seems easier

dim hill
#

Breh, ok

#

But for digital its the same just not skyzone cobras but dji goggles 2 or v2 and hd 03 version of the nazgul5

dim hill
#

Dji goggles 2 or v2
radiomaster boxer elrs
hota d6 pro
cnhl black 6s 1300mah
nazgul5 v2 or v3 HD 03 6s

dim hill
cosmic lark
#

oh those

#

@dim hill where should i buy all of this

dim hill
#

Lile getfpv or somethint idk. But i would double check my info plz

cosmic lark
#

@stone inlet help me out again ❤️

#

please

stone inlet
#

with? @cosmic lark

cosmic lark
stone inlet
#

DJI shit compatibility is beyond me

cosmic lark
#

that works with boxerradio

stone inlet
#

if it's a boxer elrs, then all you need is a drone with an ELRS 2.4GHz receiver

#

and then pick a video system

#

as for what's good, wrong person to ask 😛

cosmic lark
#

it’s eles

#

elrs

cosmic lark
stone inlet
#

yo @tropic cosmos I heard you have good drone knowledge

cosmic lark
tropic cosmos
#

or gain more with recent physical hands on experience

stone inlet
cosmic lark
tropic cosmos
#

I know it works on me

#

Ok, so as far as I know, the DJI v2 goggles will work with any DJI vtx. The o3 vtx is the newest one. The vtx is the thing the camera plugs into, it sends your video feed to your goggle.

#

You're looking for a drone with an o3 or a caddx vista. O3 coats more, but has better image quality. I fly the vista with the V2 goggles and think it's great.

I bought a josh bardwell bnf (bind and fly) as my first quad. He has made a ton of content about how to build/repair that specific quad. Cost me more up front, but made the initial repairs and troubleshooting easier.

cosmic lark

with cinematic and stuff

tropic fern
#

That's the kit. He's got a step by step walkthrough for assembly. That kit doesn't have a vtx. Either of these should work.

#

wdym with cinematic?

tropic fern
#

Cinematic is 99% about the pilot, not the quad.

dim hill
#

yeah

cosmic lark
dim hill
#

stick a gopro onto it

tropic fern
#

That quad is on the expensive side. I'm recommending it cause it's well supported and you're gonna break it. So being able to fix it is nice.

#

You put a GoPro on top of the drone to capture high quality footage.

dim hill
#

cuz 03 is the highest quality u will get

cosmic lark
#

alr so ill do that

#

which drone has a gopro mount

tropic fern
#

All of them.

cosmic lark
#

oh

#

which do u recommend

tropic fern
#

They are drone specific, so they'll be shaped different depending on the quad.

#

The drone I linked has a set of 3d printed parts available for purchase including a GoPro mount.

dim hill
#

nazgul comes with one

cosmic lark
dim hill
#

nazgul5

cosmic lark
#

that?

tropic cosmos
#

you can have any video system of your choice while also keeping the ELRS radio

cosmic lark
tropic fern
#

Honestly, you're gonna need a bunch of practice before you'll be able to get anything useful off the GoPro. And you're less likely to break your GoPro if you begin flying without it.

flying

dim hill
#

on?

tropic fern
#

I started with a 5" freestyle drone. (Version 1 of the one I linked) I spent ~60 hours in the sim before my first flight. That gave me enough stick time to actually stay in the air when I flew. But I still crash a lot.

cosmic lark
#

sim

tropic fern
#

Either of the drones suggested here will take a go pro, work with your radio, and support a dji vtx.

#

Even with a lot of sim time, expect to break it.

cosmic lark
cosmic lark
dim hill
#

the kit

cosmic lark
#

@tropic fern do i need to build it?

dim hill
#

yes

#

its a kit

#

u need to build it

cosmic lark
#

brahh i dont wanna build it

#

what ab dji avata 😭

dim hill
#

good for cinematic only any freestyle and its dookie

dim hill
cosmic lark
dim hill
#

what

cosmic lark
tropic fern
dim hill
#

they are both good

tropic fern
#

But might be out of stock. At least, I didn't immediately find one with a quick Google.

#

You won't be able to tell the difference between these if this is your first quad.

cosmic lark
dim hill
#

alr

#

get elrs 2.4 and 6s

cosmic lark
#

and for that do i need a mini gopro or is the big one fine?

tropic fern
#

I'm at the end of my second season flying a 5" and am just starting to know enough to have opinions about how a frame performs/what I want out of it.

dim hill
#

mini?

cosmic lark
tropic fern
#

It should take any action camera. Go pro hero or session should work fine.

dim hill
#

link?

cosmic lark
tropic fern
cosmic lark
dim hill
#

oh

dim hill
tropic fern
cosmic lark
tropic fern
#

Yup. Go pro 12 will work.

cosmic lark
#

hero 12?

tropic fern
#

I'd get an old one to start, but I break stuff and have a limited budget.

#

Ymmv

dim hill
#

he said any gopro will work ffs

cosmic lark
dim hill
#

i would get like. a 7 or 8

cosmic lark
#

so im not paying for any of this

dim hill
#

breh

tropic fern
#

Get two hero 7s.

#

Then you've got a spare.

cosmic lark
#

they say its specificaly for fpv drones

tropic fern
#

Honestly though, I'd spend whatever the budget is on more batteries and spare parts. Go pro can come later. But im mostly into fpv cause I like flying.

dim hill
#

im guessing

cosmic lark
#

alr so im going with two 7s

tropic fern
cosmic lark
#

oh wait

#

i still need goggles 💀

dim hill
#

yeah

cosmic lark
#

which do i get

tropic fern
#

You might also consider a soldering iron and a set of tools.

#

I like the DJI v2 goggles.

cosmic lark
#

wait question sparkles

tropic fern
#

They're no longer in production. So you'll probably need to buy them used. But any DJI goggle should work.

cosmic lark
#

is this a camera?

Screenshot_2023-09-27_at_5.41.26_PM.png
dim hill
#

yes but difference one

tropic fern
#

Yes. That's your fpv camera. It plugs into your vtx which sends a wireless signal to your goggles.

dim hill
#

its for goggles

tropic fern
#

It's low latency/high frame rate. Good for flying, less good for filmmaking.

cosmic lark
#

cause their buying the drone and goggles

tropic fern
#

I agree.

#

The o3 camera is the best one available right now.

#

I've gotta run for now. Good luck on your quest. The learning curve is steep at first, but it's worth it.

cosmic lark

Getfp or pyro drone or race day quads are the 3 Ive ordered from. Dunno bout the rest.
