Absolutely! I very strongly recommend using a simulator. A couple of free ones are Tinywhoop Go and FPV Skydive. The best way to use a simulator is with an actual FPV controller. A good controller for beginners is Radiomaster Zorro or Jumper T-Pro. They are good enough to be permanent (they can accept modules that can use longer range protocols). Or you if you will buy the Tinyhawk Freestyle kit, the controller there is ok for a simulator, although it’s a dead end (you’ll need to upgrade when you want longer range radio signal).
Nanohawk X is not sold as a kit, unfortunately. That’s the big disadvantage for a new pilot. You’ll have to buy the components separately (goggles, controller, charger, batteries).

Also, should I get a simulator first? Apparently there is one on the nintendo switch lol (video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Dt97kS4qM) (nintendo page on it ec.nintendo.com/NZ/en/titles/70010000051029). Is the NanoHawk a kit? Remember that I have never flown FPV yet.

In reply to hidude86. Hey there hidude86. The Tinyhawk Freestyle 3 has plenty of power to be used outdoors so it is definitely better than a tinywhoop but I think for the price, the Nanohawk X is better -- it has a better power to weight ratio and is also more affordable. It flies very well. But yes Tinyhawk Freestyle 3 should also be good for outdoor use.

So I am a 13 year old boy, who has only flown “toy” drones (SkyViper has been my go-to) I want to get something (I want to buy it myself, budget $400, RTF kit), and I have seen the TinyHawk3 freestyle or whoop. The whoop, as you have said, is only 1s and only good for indoors. The freestyle is 2s, but has no prop gaurds. Would you recomend the Freestlye th3, analog? I understand that the HD versions have come out, but they are $200 more, for a total of $500. Is the TH3 Freestyle a good choice for a beginner? Will I grow out fast? Is the controller/goggles good? I want ur oppinion for this.

In reply to Michael. Thanks for your input, I am sure your recommendation to buy them from Amazon is the best option.

I 100% disagree about the TinyHawk 3 set up being better then the TinyHawk 2 setup. The goggles and transmitter are cheap AF!! The drone itself could be better but not the setup imo. I have a TH2 a TH2FS and have flown with the TH3 goggles and controller. If you do get it ….get it on Amazon so its easy to return when you end up disappointed in it.

You should update this for the DJI FPV where you mention a downfall is the lack of compatibility with the controller that comes with it, but recently with a firmware update in 12/2022 the Caddx Vistas are now able to use the new Goggles 2 AND the FPV Remote Controller 2. This effectively allows the remote that came with DJI FPV to work with nearly any quad built or bought.

In reply to JKD. Hi JKD. Which do you prefer for flying outside: your 95X or TH3? And if you like the TH3, I highly recommend trying out the nanohawk X. It's going to blow your mind!

In reply to BonzaiFpv.

I own two drones, the Tiny Hawk 3 and the Beta 95X V3 and completely disagree with this article. I have only been flying the TH3 outside on 1S 450mah HV batteries and I absolutely love it. It’s the first drone I flew and it immediately felt great and very stable outside. That’s just my experience and opinion.
I just came to drone fpv from RC motor assist gliders and can’t recommend these two drones enough.
