iFlight - Nazgul DC5 ECO V1.1

5 inc drones are terrifying to fly for a beginner. I got a Nazgûl eco for my first fpv drone and I crashed 4 times on my first day and couldn’t remotely hold an altitude. And that’s with 9 hours in a simulator. Several months later I got an air 75 (although if I could choose again I would get the 65) and I have put way more hours into it than my 5 inch. You may want a lot of power and stuff, but for learning, a tiny whoop will get you more hours and make you better at flying for a newbie.

5inch is not too much to start with, if you have space and $ go for it, they are beasts. 1 sec and you whizzing at 100mph, 2 sec and you're in the neighbouring village... The guys are correct, they require huge spaces and they are really loud, but if that's not an issue I recommend 5inch

If you have enough space, big open spaces, like open fields, go for 5inch, the power is sick xD I went through your steps 2 years ago, in the end I decided to build 5inch Nazgul, didn't regret it yet. I live in countryside and I have big empty spaces around. Now I'm planning to build additional 3.5inch for bandos and for my orchard and backyard. 5inch is loud and fast as fuck, ideal for open spaces. As someone else said, you can always limit throttle a bit in the beginning. Go for 5inch, you only live once xD Now I'm also using my nazgul with lion battery to fly 10+km so it's versatile also. Good luck 🍀🍀

I love my Nazgul, I'll keep fixing it as long as I can find parts. Can't go wrong OP!

Nazgul is a great drone for both freestyle and cinematic flight, just be careful it might be a bit too fast for a beginner. If you use 4S battery instead of intended 6S, it will be more tame.

I would take a real Fpv drone like the Nazgul but it is good to start in cinematic but if you want to fly even further you should consider a 7” but I don’t recommend that for a beginner. I would personally pick the googles 3 I think they come with some of these diopter glasses. And lastly I would go with the tango because if you loose video while flying some pilots like to fly high up to get the signal back but the DJI controller and you loose video you will also lose connection to your controller

this right here op ... take it from me, I engaged with fpv & rc with nazgul quads. looks like an XL5 frame..i lost two to the ocean, they were my first and boy oh boy did i skip the simulator and sent it for years. lotta damage but good times >:) no one was hurt just a lot of tinkering/building. if your serious about it, and you do your research, these are (contrary to the comments) good quads to learn with but u must have an open space. i lived on dairy farms all my life so little quads are outta the question - i like to check on cows ;)
