Your English is quite good, very clear and articulate. I dont think there is too much of a need to convert, I think most people with the intellect to get into this are able to get it. Keep up the great work, this is quality content.
Came for the avata video, stayed for the jujutsu kaisen shirt. A man of culture :))
Gotta support where you can 😅
Danke für die hilfe bestes video von allen!🎉
Very helpful tips, thank you!
Thank you for this clear explanation and useful tips, very helpful!
Very insightful. Thanks so much
Thanks a lot for the video. Really helpful
Bro, you are freaking good! Congrats!
Great video!!! Thank you!!
Amazing video, really good thank you.
This was such a great video brother. Thank you so much for all of this super helpful info. I just got my Avata yesterdays me can’t wait to get outside and fly.
Have fun man, I'm glad to help!
Amazing, Thanks for share your knowledge!!
Glad to help!! :)
You got a new subscriber, amazing video!
Vielen Dank, super Video! Jetzt bin ich motiviert es anzugehen. Grüße!
Danke dir und viel Erfolg beim üben!🔥
Thanks for making this video
dude, you should have way more subscribers and views. very appreciate the content
Thank you, I should also be more consistent in uploading though...
I would add one more tip: learn the area you fly in so you know what to expect around the corner and it will make your flight smooth and fluid
That's a very good point 🙌
nice video bro! thanks a lot! keep making content! 💪👏🚀
Thank you, I appreciate it! And of course I will do :)
I loosened my throttle stick and now I'm about to go spend 15-20 hours on that simulator!! Thanks for the help!
Great video, liked the way you summed it up in the end! Subscribed :)
Thanks man, I'm glad you liked the video!
Thank you very much!
Pleasure to help! 😊
Nice tutorial.. 👍 Thank you very much.. 🙏
I'm glad you liked it! 😊
Great video man! I really appreciatte you doing this on english. Im from Argentina and sometimes I'm shy about sharing things on english but looking how helpful your video was to me i might give it a try! Thanks a lot!!
Thanks man, I'm really happy I could motivate you! It's hard to find that confidence but if you're able to reach people and help and then see comments like yours, it's worth every second you've put into this!
I have practicing in simulator and started to think I was the problem. Thank you for encouraging me, it’s just a question of more practice. Good video! 🤟🏼
I get it, it's not really understandable at first 😅 keep it going man!
Great video. Just going to try and find your gain expo settings 👏👏
Thanks! Did you find em?
super video ❤❤
Thank you! ☺️
Top video bro! Agree on all points, i made mistakes when beginning all the ones u pointed out.. i tried to mr steel flippy floppy around instead of slow controlled flight.. and i spent too much sim time b4 flying and between first few flights shoulda just banged more packs. Its all stick time in the end the sim can only feel so close it will never get you beyond the jitters until you hit the real world/dirt/metal/grass/concrete lol
It's so nice to hear that everyone is fighting with the same problems at the beginning. KZhead is the place to get all the information but in the end it's like you said, stick time to build this muscle memory.
Great content ❤
Thank you!
The new intro is fire 👌
Thanks, took me only 6 hours to edit that haha
Thank you, very helpful and simple advice. I JUST got the Avata after being on the fence for a long time and it is already making me a better drone pilot because of the simulator and the performance it gives compared to normal camera drones. The flights are actually FUN, not so much work for nice video but I can tell already to apply the same thing I always do…be humble, not a hero, work hard with practice do not assume you got it too soon. Is it me, or in N/S I fly mainly with the use of the left stick but in M mode I fly more with the right stick. What I mean is, which stick I move the most for stable fluid flight. I want more of a jet fighter type of experience than major acrobatics so I avoid destroying it within a week lol. Very good video
Hey! Glad I could help. Beeing humble, not a hero and putting work into it is very important for learning FPV, it'll also save you lots of money haha. You can actually change the controller layout for normal and sports mode, to make it more similar to manual mode, it wont be the same but you wont get as confused. I think the more you fly in manual, the more youll utilize both sticks as well, throttle controll is kind of key to get better at the beginning.
Keeping it slow at first. Got it!
GEIL DANKE ! BITTE MEHR DAVON
Bitte bitte! 😁 Was würde dich denn noch interessieren?
fliegst du mit goggles brille über handy oder über Pc ? Tu mich verdammt schwer im Manuel Mode im Simulator .....mit welchem Mode im M Modus hast du angefangen ? @@roadtovisual
also da mein Hany die App noch nicht supportet, musste ich über PC fliegen, funktioniert aber auch super. Am Anfang wird es definiv nicht einfach sein, da musst du einfach dran bleiben. M-Mode ist ja nur ein Modus, das einzige was du da einstellen kannst sind wie gesagt die rates. Ansonsten versuch langsam und kontrolliert zu fliegen und die Sticks immer nur ein winziges Stück zu bewegen.
ja stimmt die anderen Mods gibts beim sim #uncrashed ... hast du bei dem controller nur linken stick den federweg aufgehoben oder bei beiden am anfang ? lg und thx @@roadtovisual
*The most important thing is that for some reason ( and its a fact 100%, tested it multiply times ) that THE RATES in the SIM won't feel the same in real life so you need to manually find out how to mirror SIM settings into DJI FPV/Avata* Its ridiculous: I mean lets say your rates are 160/800/0.2 on the SIM, you tested it, you like it, you practice on it, you used to it -> now you go to set these *EXACT* numbers on your goggles for an actual real flight - it won't feel the same, it won't be even close. For example my real rates on the drone are 20/800/0.2 ( with only difference in YAW that's 460, the rest its all the same ) - now if I put these exact numbers as my SIM rates, they gonna feel totally different, the is no correlation lmao. No idea HOW because I thought its based on degrees? and I did it with two different combos ( avatars and dji ) and in both cases its not even close. I need to have 1200 pitch and 1000 roll on a sim *TO MIMIC the real 800 and 800 in real life* like wtf? No idea what's the magic behind it ( I have DJI FPV and Avata and now I JUST got Geprc mk5 because DJI is a joke, never again. ) but its like that with every fpv DJI drone and I find absolutely out of order. Now with my Geprc I can even set the EXACT rates into Liftoff Simulator thru BetaFlight that's isn't even an official Geprc Simulator unlike in the case of DJI where its literally a DJI SIMULATOR and the setting menu, and rates menu looks EXACTLY SAME in real life and in that SIM but still the rate values are absolutely out of the blue lmfao. ===> *MY ADVICE* if you wanna fly manual get Geprc or iFlight Nazgul, if you wanna do cinematic get a Mavic, and if you wanna do a bit of both get the Avata combo ( goggles 2, controller 2, avatar drone ) and then later on or even at the same time if you can afford it - buy a proper fpv drone on its own like Geprc or iFlight Nazgul and use same goggles and same controller from your Avatar with it, so you basically have 2 drones, 1 controller and 1 pair of goggles ( yes they work together at least with Geprc ). so when I go for a big trip I take both and if I wanna hit local spot for some freestyle I just take Geprc and if I want do just cinematic which never hapenns I would only take my Avata.
Thank you, i have a Avata. I need now tolearn to fly in manaul.
I hope I could help to give you a good start! Have fun and enjoy it! 🙌
Nice video man! I have a question: to practice on the simulators in manual mode, did you have to loosen the control screws? Another question: do you always leave the control screws loose, even flying in normal mode in real life?
Hey! Yes you loosen the throttle stick also for the simulator. I leave it loose the whole time, even if it would be better to have it centered for normal or sports but it's just not worth the hustle imo.
Great timging as Im coming back from a long time ago having a drone to now with these grandma can fly motion drones. But im a speed freak so luckily they cap us at mph/kpm . So ive decided to go for speed goal as Car videography is a hobby im trying go further with and making everyone go 25 to 30mph so I can keep up just isnt optimal hahahah. Great cut aways too , thats what got me was jokes and cartoons lol wish me luck . Im sufficient with the regular controller. So hopefully ill have a feel sooner than later.
Going fast is super fun, it's not the fastest drone tbh and it will get a bit shaky, I'm already considering upgrading my Avata to the axis flying kit, new motors with a lot of power and it even takes out all the wobbles.
@roadtovisual yea I'm actually already flying sports mode just by sight so the kids csn wear thr goggles. Imma get a few more tiny bite simulator sessions in efore I go out and really try manual. I did it for 10 mins once but water that's 400yards away made me sweat lop so I wasn't ready lmao
Just buyeda used (and activated ) fpv 2 controller....ill try first on simulator.....then i hope to buy the drone ;) tnks!
Some great advices there. What rate did you find works best for you?
Glad to help! I talk about my rates at 6:53
I am learning to do M mode on the Avata with the rc2. What simulator are you using? I am looking at Liftoff and some others. Thanks for the videos. Very helpful.
Hey there! I was using the DJI flight simulator, which I don't think is the best to learn if you don't have any practice on flying fpv yet. In that case I'd go for liftoff for sure
Super Video! Aber wo finde ich die Einstellungen, um dass Gewicht im Simulator einzustellen? Konnte nämlich nichts dazu finden🤔
Das sollte in einzelner Reiter mit "Flugdynamisches Modell (M-Mode) sein, gleich unter nem Button für die rates
idk if i miss them i dont see ur rates settings good content btw 👍
Hey there! I talk about the rates at 6:53 :)
It seems we can’t control the gimbal angle (at least not with the remote) in Liftoff, is this true?
You can change the camera in 2 ways: - In the Workbench, select your FPV camera and go to the "edit" tab to find a slider. - In-game: press the up and down arrow keys before (!) your drone is armed.
Just got my fpv. Just adjusted the left control’s……. Straight to manual mode i go in the simulator…. Wish me luck 😅.
Nice man I'm glad you can experience that first hand! Good luck and fly safe! :)
Man alter wegen dir bestell ich mir das Teil jetzt doch wieder.. schon zweimal zurück geschickt weil jeder die hated :D Aber wenn ich irgendwann selber eine basteln will brauch ich eh goggles und controller
Ich versteh den hate ganz ehrlich nicht, die ist mega zum rein kommen und wenn du kein krassen freestyle fliegen willst reicht sie alle Mal aus. + Die safety Features und DJI care refresh, was du nirgendwo sonst bekommst. Aber freut mich, dass ich dich wieder überzeugen konnte 😅
@@roadtovisual Du hast vollkommen recht, aber ich will eben schon bissl tricksln. Hab mir jetzt die Cetus X geholt und übe gerade wie ein Knecht auf dem Sim. Alter wie krass ist denn bitte acro mode? Ich hab schon ein Controller geschrottet
hi sir, i have a problem switching from Normal Mode to Manual mode in the air....what could be the problem... what i'm doing now is take from from the ground by turning the motors on ..then take off using the left stick...
Hello! If you haven't used the manual mode before, you first need to set it to the M-Switch, you can do that in the goggles.
@@roadtovisual it is already set...but still i cant switch from Normal to manual mode in the air
Did you try it a couple of times? To me it happens almost every time that I have to press the switch twice or thrice till it lets me swap to manual. Otherwise I'm not sure what could cause the problem...
the switch turn to Manual and I can see it in the Google the letter "M" my problem is when i move the stick to the green zone..
Oh yeah that's a bit of fine-tuning you gotta do there, somehow the sticks have to be centered and both green for a couple of seconds and if you move them too much it's not switching. I'd suggest just trying it till it works...
one issue I am having in the simulator is I feel like I am either full throttle going 70 kmh or so low throttle I am just falling. I cant seem to get a good slow hover going at all
Have you got the same issue with flying outside? I had the same problem but it's just because it takes a lot of fine-tuning to get the hang of it
I havent tried flying manual mode in real life yet. I am going to keep flying normal and sport for a bit until I feel more confident haha@@roadtovisual
Thank you, also, what is the track name
Which track do you mean? :)
Hi Max, thank you! just thank you for sharing your experience. You finally got 80 subscribers (honestly? folks, c'mon!) and I am looking forward - nah - I'm actually damn exited about getting to know my Avata. Just had my first 3 batteries worth of flight on Friday, and it's my first drone ever. I had a ball of a time! I'm still pretty firmly in "Motion-Controller-Kindergarten" and still getting used to this out-of-body experience. (Me: "Wow! Ich bin über'm Waldsee!" Wife: "Nee. Du sitzt neben mir wie'n Affe auf'm Schleifstein. Entspann' Dich mal!") but hey: One day I'm gonna actually fly my little bumblebee. The drone. Not the wife. 👍
Hey Thomas, thank you for the nice comment! I'm still not able to separate myself from the drone when I'm flying haha but I guess that's the fun of it. Enjoy it and good luck with your progress!
I can’t go back to motion controller after manual mode
I need help... because its like everytime. I have a Problem that nobody other have. My FPV Controller 2 have this red "Fehler: Steuerknüppel" Line down... i had updatet him with the newest Firmware and still there.... i also have the Problem in the manual mode that i can't do a flip or dive.... the drone flight like you are in Sport mode... what its wrong? I dont find any awnser in the net... and also not at YT because all what others says i have done.... "do upgrade"... "do start controller first before drone"..
Also zu deinem ersten Problem: hast du die sticks kalibriert? Und wenn ja hast du zufällig den FCC hack ausprobiert? Da ist die Meldung permanent da, sollte dich aber nicht am fliegen hindern. Zu deinem zweiten Problem, da musst du bei den Einstellungen zum Manual Mode den freien Modus aktivieren, ich denke das hab ich auch in meinem Video gesagt, andernfalls hast du einen Halb-Manuellen Modus der dich vor Überdrehung also sämtlichen Flips schützt
Boa, vielen Dank. Das erste Problem ist permanent da, wie du sagst, es hindert mich aber überhaupt nicht beim fliegen. Trozdem würde ich das natürlich gerne weg haben. (Kalibriet hab ich das zu Beginn, da ging aber alles so schnell das es evtl gut möglich war das ich irgend ein Blödsinn angestellt habe, mal gucken wie ich den Controller evtl ganz frisch neu konfigurieren kann. Einen FCC Hack habe ich aber nicht genutzt. War eine ganz normale Inbetriebnahme der AVATA) Zum 2ten Problem, tut mir leid wenn du das erwähnt hast, dann hab ich wohl grad weggeguckt. Hab den Button gefunden der mich nun wirklich von allen Limits befreien sollte.
How how many miles can I go? Can I go at least 2 miles?
4-5miles .batteries is the main limit
That depends if you're flying in the States or elsewhere, we have different frequencies that we're allowed to fly in and the one in the States is far superior. There is a hack to unlock this (FCC-Mode) but it's of course not legal ;)
Do you use the ham-config FCC hack?
No of course as it's illegal ;) but a friend used it and said it's a game changer. Do with that what you will haha
@@roadtovisual Hah! And I never fly FPV alone without a spotter, I promise.
@@Bollibompa important! Me neither of course...
I just like to know how loud it is well, my neighbors be annoyed, or just like to know
Well to be honest it's a pretty loud drone, with the master Airscrew props you'll get a more pleasant sound but it's still loud... If you plan to fly it close to your neighbours they might get annoyed
@@roadtovisual thanks
Well, I’m still on the hook about buying it one more question my friend if someone Wanted to do real estate drone videoing could it be done with this drone and if you were to get the hand stick controllers, could this drone do any dive bombs?
Why did you paint your fingernails?
Because of a Rock Festival I was going to
Ich versteh nicht wieso du deutsche titelbeschreibung hast obwohl du english redest ?!😂😂😂
Naja ist halt einfach übersetzt, wärst du in einem anderen Land, würdest du es in Englisch sehen
I am not used to having such short flight times and a short leash on signal. Seems way overpriced.
Have to disagree here, you won't really get any other FPV drone with a longer flight time than the Avata, usually it is half of it on self build drones. The signal depends on the certification, if you're flying in CE-mode (legal in the EU) you get way less distance and also penetration than in the FCC mode (only legal in the US). If you want to build a drone yourself that's not too shabby, you'll also pay more in total than you would for the Avata
@@roadtovisual I am in the US...would it come in FCC mode? Or is that something I should change? Thank you so much for the help!
Yes it will be already set to the FCC mode. Always glad to help! 😊
Bro kinda says, "kind of" A LOT!
What do you mean man?
thanks
