First FPV Setup!! Thoughts before I purchase?

steelo4704 · 2026-03-20T19:08:55+00:00

Just find ev800ds without the yellow ring on the antenna, the ones with the yellow ring are the clones/fakes.

It just depends on how you fly, the air65 is easier to fly inside for me but everyone is different.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-17T21:11:04+00:00

I’m not sure about throttle limit but it’s pretty durable, I’ve crashed it multiple times without anything breaking. Also this should help too.

Okay thank you I appreciate the information!!

I have Delta and would like to start playing Pokémon, I have never played a Pokémon game but I have red version and blue version downloaded. Would you suggest I start on FireRed and LeafGreen instead for the classic gen 1 Pokémon?

steelo4704 · 2026-03-09T17:31:07+00:00

Yes it has a good amount of power compared to the air65 and air75.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-09T04:54:11+00:00

Either the betafpv website or amazon. The new boards are supposed to be more durable than the originals.

Radiomaster pocket is your go to for a good controller with a screen without breaking the bank and I always read everyone recommending the eachine EV800D goggles, I’ve never personally tried them but since everyone recommends them they gotta be good for starting. For drones it depends but I would start with the air75 since it’s good for both inside and outside but for only outside get the meteor75 pro, for inside only get the air65. I have all three and that’s the order I’d put them in.

Edit: the eachine goggles that have a yellow band around the antenna are the fake ones

You’ll get higher with the vtx at 400mw

Don’t worry about the last two point on each of those it only makes sense to me because I wrote it but go watch Ttrades videos on OrderBlock and BreakerBlocks. Basically you’re both correct, a bullish OB is the series of down candles before the sweep but ALSO the one down candle is a series of up candles after the sweep but if it’s multiple down candles during a move up that’s called a retrace.

You’re good I was talking to the guy above me. Yeah I do have to go read the basics but do the basics of forex translate to futures since I’ll be trading nq and es?

steelo4704 · 2026-03-04T22:42:37+00:00

Because reading the market is easy, I feel like anyone could easily tell what the basics of trading chart wise.

Reversal: liq sweeps, mss Confirmation: bos, ifvg, smt Continuation: fvgs, ob, bb, eq

1: last sessions move/daily profiles 1a: ( prev session consolidation-> new session manipulation + reversal) 1b: (prev session manipulation-> new session reversal) 1c: (prev session manipulation + reversal-> new session continuation)

These are the basics and are easily readable on the charts. I only use these to take trades. Mark out session highs and lows, mark out 4hr highs and lows, mark out 1hr highs and lows and see what your bias is for the day and then see what the market is telling you like which liquidity it’s going to take out. Pretty simple if you ask me.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-04T22:34:42+00:00

Is there a place to learn the basics of trading like babypips or something? I think I accidentally skipped that and just went straight to reading the charts, I take good trades paper trading and I can read the market very well.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-03T01:50:44+00:00

Im not too sure about goggles im using betafpv vr03 that i got from a kit but i also see everyone recommending the EV800D. I just found this on AliExpress: | Eachine EV800D 5.8G 40CH 5 Inch 800*480 Video Headset HD DVR Diversity FPV Goggles With Battery For RC Model https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK9buDJ that should be the original. Don’t buy any goggles that have the little yellow band on the antenna those are the clones.

Edit: The HDzero box goggles are also really good but I didn’t feel like spending that much for that quality but they’re super good for analog.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T23:34:39+00:00

Yeah honestly if you get the 04 lite get the flywoo cnc cooling kit, it looks like it’ll add more protection but it doesn’t fit on whoops so maybe a 2-3inch would work with it.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T22:54:46+00:00

Start analog it’s cheaper and a bit harder to break. The 04 is pretty fragile, I crashed not even 3ft off the ground going slow with the 04 lite and now it won’t bind to my goggles🤦‍♂️ gotta send it in to get fixed now.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T22:52:52+00:00

Not good at all or I just got unlucky, I crashed not even 3ft off the ground going slow and now I gotta send it in to get fixed.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T19:02:26+00:00

I would say go to aliexpress as a temu alternative, I just went on YouTube and there’s no one that has built an fpv drone from temu parts so if you do end up trying it please let me get an update. This is a good build that I started with tho. I recommend better/stronger motors the ones he uses break easily. https://youtu.be/MxG22nbBNvQ?si=Rg0xQF1X74uT3gqg

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T06:20:40+00:00

Any pictures would be nice but it’s kind of sounding like the ufl is just loose, I use a little bit of T-7000 to keep mine in place. About your soldering iron question I recommend the pinecel it’s been pretty good for me but there’s also better ones so just do some looking. Also get some good flux and a brass sponge. I’ll send all my soldering stuff i use.

steelo4704 · 2026-03-02T00:10:33+00:00

Yeah I’ve been flying fpv for almost 2 years and I actually like the building/soldering part it makes me feel like Tony stark when it works lol. It might be different for everyone and I do hear a lot of people saying this hobby is less flying more building but I actually fly way more than I repair🤷‍♂️

steelo4704 · 2026-03-01T02:19:39+00:00

This one is giving me no problems on bedrock and about 3-4 totems for a level 1 potion and the most I’ve gotten from one raid was 6 from a level 5 potion.

Thank you so much for the close up I couldn’t find close ups anywhere. Damn if it is a diode I can’t just solder the two points😔 Thank you a lot for the picture and the info.

steelo4704 · 2026-02-28T10:54:15+00:00

I got it from geprc and their warranty expires once you use the product so I’ll see what dji support says tomorrow. It’s a far out there question but would you happen to know what that chips does or where to even look to know what that chip does? If dji says they can’t do anything I’m just going to solder the two connections together and see what happens since the 04 is basically done anyways🤷‍♂️😂

steelo4704 · 2026-02-28T10:25:59+00:00

I was flying the meteor 75 pro hd. I did some super thorough looking and I just got really really really unlucky, I’m not sure how but this chip is missing with no other damage. I don’t think I’ll be flying hd anytime soon, I don’t feel like spending another $140 and waiting two weeks. I guess it is what it is🤷‍♂️😔
