help me chose my first quad

[uneven quiver]

just got my o3 air unit, time to order the quad.
I have got 3 quads that im thinking of:
Pavo 20 pro 2.5" (i think)
sub250 oasisfly 30 3"
nazgul dc5 eco 5"
I mostly want to fly cinematic and get some cool fast paced shots. A little bit of freestyle maybye.

[molten void]

prolly the nazgul eco or the oasisfly 30

or build one yourself
3.5''

[uneven quiver]

it gets so expensive with all the equipment though

id rather buy allat when i destroy the drone

[candid gyro]

It's usually around the same price if you buy the parts separate or a prebuilt. Sometimes cheaper

[uneven quiver]

The prebulit comes out like 50usd cheaper

If I compare the dc5 eco and the cheapest parts on vitroid

[molten void]

but of you build you know how to fix better if it breaks

[candid gyro]

Which isn't too big of a deal, since if you know how to solder and you can read user manuals, it's usually pretty straightforward

[bright cosmos]

i’d vote the 3”

depends on what type of flying you wanna do tho because all 3 of those drones are for pretty different things

[uneven quiver]

Whats your thoughs on 5" for a first quad?

I personaly dont see how it can be more Dangerous than a 3" open prop

[candid gyro]

They're heavier, faster, with bigger batteries. They're a fair bit more dangerous, but you should be as careful with a 3" as you are with a 5" anyway

[uneven quiver]

i really want to go with the 5" from the start, im mostly going to be flying in more open spaces and doing those fast close to the ground shots. Earlier i got kinda flamed for wanting a 5" to start with though.

i have also owned a few camera dji drones aswell if that gives any credibility

[candid gyro]

I mean like... obviously do whatever you want, we can't stop you. Definitely practice in an FPV simulator a lot before you fly the actual drone, no matter if you end up getting a 3" or 5"

[uneven quiver]

50 hours liftoff so far 😎

[candid gyro]

The camera drones fly far differently from FPV drones, so the experience won't transfer too well

[molten void]

i would get velocidrone or uncrased as they are better iirc

[candid gyro]

Just be aware that Liftoff is much more floaty than real life

[uneven quiver]

yeah im planning to get velocidrone when i get bored of liftoff

witch is pretty soon, the races suck ass on liftoff

[molten void]

or uncrased

[molten void]

lol

[uneven quiver]

i swear its just full throttle all the way

[molten void]

ye

with real race tracks its very different

[candid gyro]

FWIW you don't need a 5" drone for those kinda of shots, though they'll definitely be a little easier with a 5"

[molten void]

i would go with deepspace imo

[uneven quiver]

yeah i want to get an analog reciver for my gv2 and attend my local race next spring aswell

[molten void]

avion also makes good stuff

cool

idk if they allow that tho

i havent seen anyone do that at a race

[uneven quiver]

good point

havent seen that either

[molten void]

you will get looks for that lol

[uneven quiver]

might be better to ask in the racing fb group

[molten void]

imo the deepspace one and avionrc 3.5'' are the best picks

[molten void]

yeah

[uneven quiver]

ill have a look

appearently my adblocker on yt isnt allowed anymore 🤬

[molten void]

tf

damm

[uneven quiver]

thats so bs

[molten void]

tf is gibberish

jk

could you translate the options

what adlocker u got

i got ublock origin lite

[uneven quiver]

its " allow youtube ads" " try youtube premium"

[uneven quiver]

ill check

[molten void]

just press allow

[candid gyro]

I also got a popup and then it went away lol

[molten void]

and just turn it on again or whatever you have to do

[uneven quiver]

ill try that one

[molten void]

ye

[candid gyro]

Only if you're using the Chrome extensions page to install the extension. If you're on Firefox then you can use the full version

[uneven quiver]

im on edge

the BETTER browse

r

[candid gyro]

Yeah you'll have to use the Lite version then

[uneven quiver]

fuck it didnt work

ugh

[uneven quiver]

is uncrashed more realistic?

with the physics

[molten void]

way more

[uneven quiver]

i just got uncrashed, and id argue that the physics feel more floaty than liftoff ngl

more smooth if you will

[molten void]

its more accurate iirc

uncrashed

velocidrone has the best physics

iirc

thast why its loved by racers

[uneven quiver]

thats makes sense

the uncrashed races arent that bad though

they are way more technicaly challenging than liftoff

[molten void]

yeah

have you seen mck tracks

[uneven quiver]

huh?

[molten void]

they are technikal as shit

[uneven quiver]

irl or on a sim?

[molten void]

sim

[uneven quiver]

is it on uncrashed?

or velocidrone?

[molten void]

velocidrone

like dis

[uneven quiver]

tf did i just see man

[molten void]

thats what i mean

[uneven quiver]

cheers for recomending me to buy uncrashed

gosh its so much more fun than liftoff
