Why it's so hard to hover an FPV racing drone

38 Comments

1. Thank you! I was having a hard time but this video helped me understand better

2. I've bought very cheap drones w/o altitude hold to practise. 😂

3. A lost Cetus X Quad (from the kit), a 6S GEPRC Cinebot 30 (elrc/nebula) that crashed and ruptured the lipo battery, frying the AIO and 1 motor ($250 CDN repair bill – assuming the nebula cam system is still intact) – if it got up to $1000 wasted I swore I was going to quit fpv entirely and go back to my good ol' Air 2S – and NOOOW I see this video!! Hovering is the worst … but every hour in this Liftoff, I seem to get more of a hang of it. This may turn into "FUN", rather than "COMPLETE F%*&ING NIGHTMARE" after all!

4. Hi, nice videos!
   How do you bring up those stick position pointers at the bottom of the screen? is it part of Liftoff or its separate app?
   Also i wanted to ask: my drone is gliding one direction after turn, and i do turn with both sticks9 yaw, roll, then pitch with a bit more throttle, but it still want to kick me out of the turn like centrifugal force pushing. Any advice please? Or any discord or other group when i can ask some fellows for a bit of help. I'm pretty new to this. Thanks!

5. Yoooo you quad racing guys are utterly crazy. You controll fine movements of drones inside a 1mm distamce of stick movement on controller. Why???? I respect all those guys who are capable of doing this and I will spend as much time as it takes to be able to fly my drone in acro mode. I dont give up and I adjust controller set up to the point when I float my drone as a feather. It wont happen in the near future but real men are up for fix difficulties 🙂 thanks for the video it helps a lot

6. When i was flying around your house i say your face in one of the windows

7. Hovering is easy

   Rotating with the left stick while maintaining altitude is hard

8. Had the idea I was going into go out and flip roll and do all kind of stunts straight after practicing tons on the simulator. How I was so wrong! Drift and bounce is something you really don’t experience in simulator and the nerves of crashing makes you sketchy, the slightest of wind can cause massive drift.

9. I'm a noob and I can go thru some of the race tracks in lifhtoff 100kmh but cant do it slow hover 5kmh lol

10. whats the name of that video game

11. You are a don, thank you very much. I am removing throttle ratchet immediately from my X9D Plus. In LiftOff I am so rubbish, I am more concerned about being able to pilot than in successfully building my drone. My AOS UL7 EVO should should arrive in five days – then the fun begin. Thanks again…

12. There should be an Hold Altitude mode in BetaFlight for those who fly indoors. That exist?

13. Edge of a flat roof you can see if you are going up or down . And learn to stay clear not crash on top

14. I like your narration in this video. You've selected few little cases and described them in the way which makes them simple. Great educational value!

15. what are the settings i need to tune to fly my cinewhoop cinebot 30 indoors much easily? and smoothly

16. hahahaah Great video

17. No No No Joshua! The quad doesn’t fly because it shoves air molecules down into the ones below them! That’s a side effect! The blade creates a low pressure area above it, the atmospheric pressure below actually pushes up on the blade to try to equalize the pressure. It’s all Bernoulli. It happens on both sides of the blades, that’s why blades, wings, ect often are curved along their length, allowing the top surface to have slightly more length, and therefore slightly more area to create negative pressure along the top; IE Lift. Love your work bro! Couldn’t have gotten anywhere without you!

18. Thamnks Joshua, You break this down so well. I learnt something today.

19. Hello bardwell. I decided to trim my drone for inside use should I reset my trim to 1500 on yaw,roll,pitch when I go outside and fly in acro mode?

20. TLDW. Dont hover, fly. This is not Mavic and youre not taking photos.

21. Waiting on my first drone/nanowhoop to show up now. I appreciate you and your channel for helping me thus far. I already want to build a o3 3" to explore the neighborhood

22. Fantastic explanation thank you 💚

23. Joshua, so for indoor real state maybe Avata is a better choice than Cinelog ? Tks

24. Ur awesome. I would even sub your channel just with videos of your dlying and sound effects 😀

25. Thank you, best tutorial for pratice from 0 skill 😅. I'm from Brazil and you help me a lot.

26. just my opinion, to make hovering easy, i pump the throttle mid rate to 66 or 77, so that im hovering at 20-30% stick

27. How do you see the drone??

28. Quite possibly the worse CC transcription I’ve ever seen. No fault of yours, but it’s saying some wild shit😂

29. wow so cool man …….3d model is awesome

30. I'm wonder that the simulator has effect of airmode?

31. Yes this video explains why it bounces lol

32. Just crank that throttle expo up to 1.5 or higher… 😉

33. I was wondering if I suck or that is the nature of this. Thanks for clarifying.

34. Like driving a car on a straight road.
    You make small left and right steering to go straight.
    If you just held the steering wheel and did not move it at all you would eventually drive of the straight road.

35. What fpv remote controller you can recommend me to practice on simulator that's cheap

36. As I config my tbs mambo for liftoff on ps4?

37. Is there any fpv drones that can do freestyle right out of the box no bets flight or anything?

38. That was a great explanation! Thank you sir!
