@@Kazuya720 Anything you build with a Betaflight FC has that feature, you just need to have a GPS (and this is why you should always include one when planning a new build).
I had a failsafe on a Flywoo LR 4 inch quad at 200meters. I spent an hour searching for it and found it in high grass in a field as the sun was setting. If I hadn't had a buzzer on it I may not have located it. The RTH feature on DJI is amazing insurance that you'll most likely get your quad back. Nice review, thank you!
I have taken mine out 5kms and then back home with 5% battery left. 80m high at about 70 km per hour. Dead calm conditions. No video though. Battery is definitely the restricting factor.
I get 6km at 30-40 metres high with the old mavic Pro The mavic air 2 7000 metres at 40-50 height lol I would be disappointed if I bought this but that's me each to their own
@@UkzEnglishBullTerrierz You dont buy FPV to fly long range really. I'll admit that it'd be great to dive from the top of a mountain but yeah. Also were you flying downhill during your range tests with the MVP or MVA2?
@@UkzEnglishBullTerrierz You could also argue that he was not pointing the RC the right way.. If I hold a solid grip I can get my mavic mini to 3km and it's on 'wifi' but move a bit left or right or tilt up or down and it drops to 500m
Hi Mike, want to ask a quick question, do you know when is di RTH on the DJI FPV drone is activated. Is it requires two signal lost (googles and RC) or only one of them? Thanks 🙏🏻
The drone tracks it’s home point so when you lose all communications with it, it rises to a predetermined altitude and flies back to the home point, once he gets close enough you will regain all video and control and you can keep flying or land it yourself
Thanks for the video, long range (and maybe over water) is one reason I'm thinking about picking this up. When it comes to a failsafe, Betaflight's GPS Rescue is no match for DJI's RTH.
Hi, what do you mean with Betaflight GPS. Is it an extra installation for the DJI FPV System or does the RTH ever work on a normal DJI FPV in Manual mode?
@@jonasw1404 When I say Betaflight I'm talking about the DJI air and vista units, not the actual DJI FVP Drone that DJI sells. You can add a GPS unit to your flight controller and set it up in Betaflight so if you lose signal instead of your quad just disarming and falling out of the sky it will switch to angle mode and fly back in the direction where it took off from. This allows you to reconnect as it gets closer and take back over. As far as RTH working on the DJI FPV Drone even in manual mode, I believe it does. I never ended up buying the DJI FPV Drone, I build my own.
I’m planning to get out into the Scottish mountains from spring onwards when there’s longer daylight hours …what kind of return to home altitude would you set amongst mountains ? …I’m thinking that if you were to take off from sea level then fly it up along the ridges then back down, firstly would it even reach the peaks, I guess dependent on the height of the mountain, but if it lost connection I am guessing that using my usual RTH altitude of 100ft it could potentially crash or would it stop, I’m guessing not if it’s in sport or manual mode ? Other than out in the wild, don’t think I will fly this beyond about a kilometre …just need to find some locations with plenty of cinematic flight paths
How long did it take to regain signal? Would have been interesting to stop and climb higher and push the distance until battery forced return. I don't think the quoted 6 km would happen so low so 2.2 is pretty damnd good.
It’s good in open areas but I went behind a barn the other day about 50m away and it lost video signal. Luckily it stopped and returned home. Strange how certain areas effect it.
Rth not following initial path may be hazardous due to powerlines... Not really safe... CE used to suck on Mavic air 1 but on FCC never had problems after switching
If in manual mode, how long until the drone enters failsafe once it loses connection to the goggles? I’m trying to work out if I fly at 40m and lose connection, will my drone drop to the ground or be saved by failsafe
Super Nice. Now i dont have to make that test, tanks. But i have problems when i testet 2 pair of Googles. Mine in broadcast mode and the other pair in audiens mode. The one in audience mode got blackouts an pixel glitter. Maybe you can test it. Make a video about. Peace.
I am confused a little bit. Even my DJI mini 2 reached over 5300m (and returned safely) and now I have watched couple of videos of DJI FPV where owners talk about 2km range..... that's not impressive!
you also have to have a spotter every time you wear goggles..... im sure that does not happen.... but the usa models have the longest range as the drones outside of the usa have locked out put..... but you can hack the drone with an sd card..... and unlock the full range from the drone..... there is a hack also for the dji goggles to increase output power for dji air unit and caddex vista
HI Mike Regards from Romanian, I wanted to ask you if the FPV drone comes with ADS B active for Europe, and if you noticed those warnings. I love your work and your videos! Care of yourself!
Has anyone ever tried what happens if you start your flight at let's say 10 meters above see level, your RTH height is 50 meters and you fly up a slope to about 600 meters? Does the drone try to get down to 50 meters and crash into the slope, does it return 600 meters high in the sky or does it try to get lower and follows the slope according to its sensors?
The drone would rise to 50m above takeoff height and return home. Also, the drone has a built in limit of 500m altitude, so you wont be able to fly up a slope to 600m.
Well, I hate to be a party pooper but your mileage may vary. I've had a failsafe behind half a tree on no more then 300 meters distance. I repl;ied with a link to the video of this but clearly that was not allowed here, sorry, didn't know that. But anyway, i've had less luck with the range of this drone, as long as there is clear line of sight: no problem, as soon as there is something blocking the LOS, failsafe kicks in. Fortunatelly i haven't had this in tight spaces yet so RTH saved the drone.
is it possible to use these goggles with mini 2 aswell, would be awesome? we tried range today with friend dji fpv drone and managed to go to around 2,5km aswell. lost all connection and it came back.
you can not use the goggles with any dji drone other than the fpv drone.... you can use them with airunits and caddex vistas for carbon fiber built kwads...... as for range there is a hack if you are outsde of the usa that will allow you to unlock fcc mode and be able to get way more range.....
30 m altitude got you to 2 km!? That's a damm flat meadow. Pretty sure you could have gotten more if you increased altitude. I get 2 Km with my Mini 2 in a radio infested city, 2 Km free range is down right embarrasing.
The environmental section from your local Town Hall (or whoever) should take good notes about the huge ilegal dumping places your drone recorded. What a real shame!!!
I was a skeptic once but DJI FPV is starting to grow on me. Thanks for sharing this!

Well, at least you have one with a return to home function, otherwise you just fall down.

Great video brother. 🤙 I love the Dji Fpv. Impressive . DJI has done it again
More range more height!! Transmitter held up high helps. On the left you could see a Doppler ray dare dome that is why it stopped.
Did you see that big white radio tower? Perhaps that caused interference?
Definitely
I'm in CE too and posted a video where I reached 3.6km at 89m altitude over water.
Good thing it returned safely to you Mike :) Good test!
I am still looking for a video, that really proves the 10 km range!
I have taken mine out 5kms and then back home with 5% battery left. 80m high at about 70 km per hour. Dead calm conditions. No video though
@@ctank66 yes, someone has to stand in line 10 km away from the pilot. Than the drone flies directly to him in one way. Let see what happens?

@@mlee6050 It could be possible but you must have knowledge of electronics, once I tried with an helicopter and I fried it.

Thanks! It's not a pleasant feeling but you have to trust the drone (not easy lol)
Glad it got back safely as expected.
2,2 km at only 40 m height!!! That's impressive. :)
Yep, trying to fly low as most people would fly this drone closer to the ground, unlike a Mavic :)

Wow that’s pretty good. So if I install the hack to make it max power past the FCC mode I should have 6000 feet range no problem.
Decent range Mikey, great video.
How much battery was left? Seems the battery would limit the range on it.
70%
I can see some sort of Radio dish and tower in the background, might have something to do with it
Why are they claiming 10k then? Great review btw.

Nice video, I ordered mine last night. They say the range is up to 10km is that true?
Im an not sure I want FCC mode hack on this drone.. Coz of the battery. Its range limited by the battery.
It is better not to drop the battery power below 15% during the flight, otherwise, it may trigger an automatic landing and crash
Lift left stick to stop auto descent, if let go it goes back to auto descent
I am confused a little bit. Even my DJI mini 2 reached over 5300m (and returned safely) and now I have watched couple of videos of DJI FPV where owners talk about 2km range..... that's not impressive!
At 3:29 you flew straight at a Doppler radar! That will defeat your signal.
Looks like you approached a doppler radar facility, maybe the drone flight restriction kicked in?
3:28 Pay no attention the to radar dome straight ahead...and the microwave comms tower in the distance...
I want to know why the drone did not return to home on a direct path without obstacles.
The mavic minic1 go further and way better battery. So why would u pay so much. Also still not water proof.
Pretty respectable range Mike... since here in the USA you need a visual obsever who must be able to see the drone... so I'd say range is good enough?
Lol no one follows that rule
you also have to have a spotter every time you wear goggles..... im sure that does not happen.... but the usa models have the longest range as the drones outside of the usa have locked out put..... but you can hack the drone with an sd card..... and unlock the full range from the drone..... there is a hack also for the dji goggles to increase output power for dji air unit and caddex vista

Dustin Dunhill got like 22,000 feet nearly 4 miles but had to land 1/2 mile short when battery hit 0%
Is it normal the recording stop when you lost signal ? Other dji drone continue recording when signal lost.
My dji fpv stopt recording too. So it seems normal
I was messing with a couple guys starting up their helicopter & i lost signal. It never returned home.
Better to lose the footage than to lose the drone
i know I'm kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Cristiano Langston try FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
i thought dji said it would have a 6 mile range what is going on with that?

🔥🔥🔥
2.2km is impossible

how do you know if its flying on fcc or ce?

Depend where you are, often CE is if you in Europe or FCC if like in America, hate it more strict in Europe

No way 😳.. on my DC7 I get around 4k one way total 8k
