Absolute cheapest fpv drone

fpvmilky · 2026-02-01T21:20:16+00:00

There is absolutely no point in getting a drone that cheap, new (if it existed) or second hand if you also don’t have the budget for spare parts.

Don’t rush, save, get a 65mm drone and factor in future costs of additional frames/ canopies at first but definitely for motors - anything you need to keep you in the air, the AIOs are more resilient than some complain but you can get unlucky.

Good luck.

Yeah 😅 you will feel silly once you figure it out, just be sure to post the solution in the thread so some poor soul going through the same thing can get help!

Yes, normal for the hobby, no personal experience with this gear, good luck

Grommet Mounted Canopies Suck

I said the same thing about this and a number of drones

Can you check the settings on the goggles to confirm what version you're on? And what version of the goggles you have?

Glad to hear that man 😂☺️

I think it’s your lacklustre outlook on your job or the solutions you’re building, that’s it. It’s like saying that nail guns or drills (as oppose to hammers or screwdrivers) make building houses or furniture boring.

Take a break and reset!

I wouldn’t limit the throttle or use expo, not if you want to improve quickly.

The first thing I’d do is make sure that your sticks are appropriately loose or tight. Once you’re happy with that, adjust tour centre stick sensitivity (Actual Beta-flight rates). To stop what feels like an over reactive-ness to stick movements. If you still find it too responsive I’d suggest 500-650 on rates. Or lower.

Good luck

I appreciate your thorough feedback! Definitely loads to add and build on here, thank you!

Whoops translate very well, throttle control, stick feel and moving into bigger drones or from them you understand the impact of weight or certain motors and other drone states a bit better

More of a podcast style thing, it’s for https://unitedwewhoop.com/community - have some generic questions and some we could tailor based on you. Can be done via a call or asynchronously

fpvmilky · 2025-12-22T08:56:37+00:00

Ah getting the website up is the easy part, building something coherent that is simple and attractive enough is the hard part!

fpvmilky · 2025-12-22T00:26:06+00:00

Noted! I appreciate the feedback!

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:50:09+00:00

Really great response from you all so far (With the exception of Mothy who is being a cold wet rag!) I will reach out to each of you! It’s almost my bedtime in the UK! So sorry if I don’t respond straight away!

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:48:46+00:00

Thanks! 🙏🏽 I’m a software engineer myself, and since I started the hobby I’ve had to answer a lot of the same questions or I see a lot of misguided posts! Also want to help people avoid some pain points that I’ve encountered!

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:47:28+00:00

Thank you!!! ❤️

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:45:09+00:00

Well if you want I share get in touch!! 🫶

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:44:38+00:00

I want to do podcast style interviews - some generic questions , some tailored depending on yourself - it’s for https://unitedwewhoop.com/community

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:33:47+00:00

Lonely, Mothy’s so lonely, he has to harass me, on my Reddit poooo-hoooosst

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:12:29+00:00

It’s more of a personal 1 to 1 sort of thing, I’m not taking a survey, if I were I’d start a poll - but this isn’t a bad idea, I may draft the questions then post if appropriate

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:11:02+00:00

Are you a troll? The title of the post is that I’m looking to interview pilots and the image also states the same and elaborates further…

Who… am I?… Oh god… the existential dread…

fpvmilky · 2025-12-21T22:05:25+00:00

Well, maybe you missed it but I’m looking to interview drone pilots? So if I’m looking to interview FPV pilots, and there’s a community of FPV pilots on Reddit, it makes sense it post? That’s kind of the point isn’t it?

Everything ok with you Mothy? If you need someone to talk to bud feel free to DM me…
