Beginner FPV drone

If you’re looking for the best FPV drones for a beginner, then you’ve come to the right place. There are a LOT of options on the market these days, and some of them aren’t so great. In this video I run through the best drones for a beginner. I talk about indoor flying, outdoor flying, filming, goggles, and the best FPV kits that bundle it all together into one! Regarding costs, you can get into FPV cheap if you know what to look for! And the better you know what you’re doing, the more money you’ll save not rebuying the same stuff over and over again — something that is very easy to do in this hobby!

If you’re looking to get started in the hobby there are a few ways to go about it. Either you want something that’s pre-built so you can get right into flying, or you want to build a drone for yourself so you can understand how to fix it, customize it, and grow as an FPV pilot. It’s really whatever you’re up for, but for those on the fence I always recommend building a drone for yourself by modeling after a build that already exists. You’ll know the parts fit together, and usually, there’s a video on YouTube that shows all the steps to turning it into a flying quadcopter.

I highly recommend looking at the Joshua Bardwell FPV drone kit (which comes in a few flavors) because it’s a solid blueprint for getting started in the hobby with a beginner drone. It is essentially a drone in a box, with a video that shows every step needed to get it flying. It doesn’t get much closer than that — having the man himself holding your hand and walking you through all the steps.

In my opinion, that’s the best way to go because once you learn the basics… building, fixing, and upgrading becomes second nature. And if you’re just getting started, even if you’ve spent 495 days in a simulator — you’re gonna crash a lot, and it will break, and YOU will need to fix it. I can almost guarantee it!

Starting FPV on a Budget Build

If you’re unsure if FPV is the hobby for you and want or need to save a bunch of money before you go all in, then I recommend getting a smaller whoop fly kit. These are excellent beginner FPV drones because they’re small, generally inexpensive, and, at the very least, a lot of fun. The only downside is they’re tricky to fix and find parts for, but on the flip side, since they’re lightweight, they tend not to break as easily.

I highly recommend the EMax Tiny Hawk III Bundle
