Hello everyone,
I hope you’re doing well!
Could you please help me? I’m excited to start my journey currently I have a DJI Mini Pro 5.
I’m interested in exploring FPV drone flying. I’d really appreciate your guidance on making the right choice and what options would be the best for me.
Thanks so much!
Any of the Avata’s or Neo’s as a starting point, unless you want to self build
The Avata’s will give you a feel for it.
If you then wanted to carry on i would recomend getting a transmitter such as a radio master or jumper, then get on a simulator.
Ooh ok radio master controller and then use a simulator for a while is that what you mean?
The avatar2 is that easy to use and co troll and can you have fun with it?
I wouldn’t know from personal experience, but from the videos I have seen in the group and online it looks easy to use and yes they have had fun
I bought one end of Feb and never even opened it, it is for sale on the for sale section, sadly my health has taken a nosedive so I was not able to use it, it does look fun mind
Yes, that way you get used to how a true FPV drone handles compared to a DJI.
Like @stevesb said get yourself a remote and get on a sim like liftoff and learn about rates and cam angles etc its going to save you’re wallet in the long run until you become an FPV addict and have to explain every parcel to the enemy (missus)
Ha ha I like the thinking lol
What’s a good controller that will last?
The boxer is popular as a starter.
The T16 is probably the all singing and dancing one.
But have a search on YouTube for comparisons.
I would be after one that’s can last and Is reliable
I jumped straight in with a Betaflight Pavo20 Pro… I didn’t enjoy it. I just bought an Avata 2 last week and it’s already my favourite drone. I’ve so much more confidence and on my first flight was making gaps!
Does Avatar 2 do cinewoops and stuff like that, flying through buildings and doing FPV videos? @TallDrone
Yes but you need to do it in manual mode using the Controller 3, again I have one of those for sale 
Yes! I bought the FPV Controller 2, to match my Integra goggles. You have to tighten a screw in the back to make it a “manual” controller, then toggle it on the drone. Then it’s just like having the Pavo20.
We sometimes run online meetups in the simulators Lift off or Velocidrone. For some virtual flying fun. 
We must try this again sometime.
I fired up DRL Sim for the first time in ages this weekend, only to find none of the online features worked because the Drone Racing League is no more. Still had a good rip though.
The Radiomaster Pocket is a good radio and it’s reasonably priced too, <£70 from most UK retailers.
It’s simple to use and small in size.
Pointless paying £100’s at first, in case it’s not your thing.
As per previous comments, the Avata 2 is good for starters, the fly more combo comes with the goggles 3 or N3 (subject to price paid for the set), 3 batteries and charger, your looking at approx £800-£1000 (without any discounts), then you’ll need to buy the FPV RC 3, which is another £150 on top of the initial purchase price.
There’s no right or wrong way to start, if you go for a traditional FPV set up, some will say go straight for a 5” freestyle quad (iFlight Nazgar or GepRC Vapor), others will recommend a small whoop (ie. BetaFPV Meteor or Air 65) either way, you’re going to need a set of compatible goggles and controller, lipo batteries, charger, etc…
Just to confuse things further, do you go with a digital VTX system(DJI, Caddx, Walksnail systems) or Analog?
Unfortunately there’s no cheap quick way into the hobby.
I would recommend you attend a club meet and speak to the FPV pilots there, the Big Meet in June will be ideal for that, because there will be several Of us there.
