 My name is Kai. I've been learning FPV for about four to five months now and I transitioned from filmmaking and dance Break dance specifically and of all the things that I've done in my life FPV has actually been the highest barrier to entry even more than learning how to spin on your head and all that stuff That being said it's a lot better than it started, but there's still a lot that you have to figure out So that's what I want to do today. I went to the park with some friends Ben who's been flying for three to four years now Caesar who's also been flying for four to five years and Adriel has been flying for about two years I asked my friends who have been doing this and have helped me so much through my own journey What they think are the most important things that an FPV pilot should know when first starting out if you're interested in the hobby I hope this video helps you out and gives you a little bit of insight into not only what it is You can do to expedite your learning process But also to give you a little bit of a look at what it's like to be in the hobby. Enjoy the video you guys something I wish I knew is The quality of parts so like what people say is that you get for which pay for spend money on good equipment if you want to get like good results and actually You know I've been using for the past two years. I love it And if I had to buy another one I would so yeah, just spend your money on good on good products You'll be happy with it. Just make sure you do some research before it. Yeah, you should be good. Thank you, bro Thank you. Bye. Bye guys. This is Crystal aka. Adriel the man who introduced me to this whole world What do you what do you what is something that you wish you knew when you first started something that I wish I would know is Don't cheap out because it's hobby if you plan on staying on this hobby I bought some ESC 800s and they like they got me into the hobby But now I wish that I invested all that money to like some DJI or some fan sharks. Okay, what about mentality like what is something? the gear aside just going in is there anything like In terms of learning and getting better that you wish you knew ahead of time mostly wiring and soldering I wish I knew a little bit more for example batteries. I went in frying a couple ESC's and flight controllers after when I first started because I didn't know about voltages and About all that stuff. So I plug in like the wrong batteries to the wrong pads. Oh, really just basic electronic I've had a few things short circuit because of bad wiring too, so that's a skill in its own Yeah, it's a it's a lot, but it's a lot of fun. Thank you crystal We got mr. Wager Ben here pilot boy man responsible for that beautiful Skyler right there and also pretty much this Appreciate this man. I love you too. I wish I built my own drone starting out I got pre-built drone and then when it broke I had no fucking clue how to fix it So I would recommend to anyone starting out build your own drone also do a lot of research on your parts Because I built or I bought some stuff that I regret. I bought that I'll spare you guys the gory details, but I Don't know what happened. I guess when I was trying to pick She cut me it's not too bad It I'll be okay It's just I guess a cautionary tale to be careful when you're picking up your quad Strange because I'm pretty sure I did not arm it But I mean I can't really think of any other reason why I'd start right Maybe Well you guys I suppose this will conclude our vlog I got a lot of good information for you guys if you're looking at the starting FV But even if you're not I really hope that you enjoyed the video and you've learned something I know I learned a lot today just from going out and flying with the boys My piece of advice to you guys who are starting out is to find a group or find one person Just someone you can ask questions to once you can find someone who's been through it themselves and has gone through this process of Looking for parts and tuning your quad and learning to fly all this stuff once you can actually talk to somebody who has experienced it It's gonna be so much faster than anything out there including videos a lot of the time because it's responsive So that's my tip to you guys and I hope that it helps and that pretty much applies to any craft that Requires learning. I hope you guys enjoyed this video Please keep coming because this is so much fun like this happened but I'd honestly I'd do it all over again because It's so much fun and it's such a journey You don't know what's gonna happen if it's describing like and even if you don't I hope you have a great day till next time. Peace
