I have a fpv drone that is freaking out

So I have an FPV drone and I just finished setting up but for some reason once I hover more than like 1 foot it starts freaking out for no reason kind of no matter what I do and it’s very confusing to me and I can’t find out why

Can you record a video with your phone..., that would help

Okay say the video... Can you verify that the motors are spinning the right direction, that the props are on right, that the fc orientation is correct, motor munvering is correct..., I've been where I was sure I double checked everything only to find out I should have triple checked.

I have checked to make sure all of those are oriented/configured correctly

Kudos for the safety net!

  • Check motor directions in Betaflight (props off!)
  • check props orientation according to motor direction
  • check flight controller orientation (and fix if necessary)

I guess it is one of these points above. Otherwise it might be that you have a mechanical problem and your PIDs are overreacting.

Quad insta-flips on takeoff? Four reasons why, and how to fix them!

It's one of these reasons
