FINALLY a no-nonsense drone review. He talks fast with facts, which I really appreciate. This guy takes a two hour review down to 30 minutes, when others streeeeeeettttcccchhh it out until I hit next. Subscribed my man!
I think this is the most well done, comprehensive and complete review about the DJI FVP anyone can find around. Thank you very much and congratulations for the great work you've done for us.
It's an FPV focused drone, seeing the props in your video feed is sometimes incredibly helpful in gauging the distance between your drone and an obstacle. Plus, you're only seeing it because of the incredibly high FOV. You can simply crop them out in the settings or in post.
Since I received my (almost) new DJI FPV drone yesterday, I've been going through all your videos on this drone. One perspective I get from you and not too many other "influencers" is the fact that you are mostly a GPS drone flyer. As I am. I have a good bit of time flying the Tinyhawk 2, but mostly for fun. I bought the DJI FPV drone with specific areas/footage scenes in mind I would like to shoot. So hearing it come from you puts me a bit at ease. I just need to take it slow at first and work my way up. Although, I just cannot foresee the need for me to ever put it in "Manual" or acro mode. Thanks, Aldryn!
Excellent introduction to a ground breaking (hopefully not literally!) new product from DJI. I used to fly FPV but it was not an easy process to get up and running and in the end I couldn't spare the time needed to keep on top of all the different elements. Battery life was also measly 6 minutes and image quality was poor on the Fat Shark goggle set-up. So this truly opens up this area of drone flying up to non-hobbyists. Exciting stuff! Thanks for a great video.
In the shots on this video, you can see them in the corners almost every shot. Is this not a true example of this picture? I don’t want to get it if that’s what it does
If you really want to transition to FPV, buy a 3" race quad and teach yourself to fly in an open grassy field. You'll crash a hundred times, and have a ton of fun doing it. Your drone will survive 95% of your crashes without damage, and if you do break it you can get parts and repair it yourself. Crashing is a big part of learning to fly FPV. The DJI FPV drone is not built to survive crashes, and you can't fix it yourself.
Well done Aldryn ! Really like the safety features that DJI built into this drone. It looks very durable and easy to fly. It will get a lot of people into FPV.
I am getting 10 min flight in N mode and 50% battery left. in S mode I get 6 min with 50% battery left. Range so far is 3km :) and rock solid video and RC :) Temp here is 27C
Wow! Great review!! I fly FPV and have been waiting for this one. Recently purchased a Mini 2 as my first DJI product and I'm enjoying the quality DJI brings to the table. Most of my other drones are knock offs or personal builds and don't have the same rock solid capabilities as my DJI Mini 2. I was hoping they'd come out with an FPV drone. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Now I have to start saving my pennies!!!
Nice, the thing with ACRO mode is that you need to only fly ACRO mode. Any crutch like system will hinder your potential in mastering ACRO. If I had this drone, I wouldn't enable ACRO. I have other drones that will cover that mode.
The only place to go when you need a in depth look at any drone related topics. Great job Aldryn as usual!! The new joystick controller is definitely an interesting twist. Interested to see more on that when you get into breaking it all down for us! Awesome video sir thanks!
An amazing and comprehensive run down. DJI is staying on top of improvements and safety features. Very thoughtfully staying ahead of the competition. I am ready for the pilot's eye view in the drone for my photography. I hope the Props don't spoil my panoramas. ~ your neighbor
2nd hand market is mad, i have recently bought 4 of these after spotting replacement units hitting the market for sub $ 250 due to new flyers being too scared to get back on the horse I guess, for 1500 total i got 4 dji fpvs,1 xv2 goggles, 4 batteries, 3 chargers,10 sets of props, all brand new!So glad i didnt waste it on an avata
I watched a few reviews today. Don't feel to bad. Your not the only one who cracked (or broke) their FPV prop arms. From what I'm seeing that's probably the #1 point of weakness during a crash. It's def. a weak point. Thanks for the review....
Thank you again! I have a practical question about DJI FPV, lets say I want to film rocks and cliffs. Should I sit on top of the cliff for better signal or down at the beach? Will the signal remain ok if the drone goes BEHIND the rocks (no direct view)?
Aldryn, Awesome review and first flights with the new DJI FPV. This new drone sure covers a lot of flight formats from newbies to advanced pilots. Thank you, you knocked this review and your first flights out of the park!!👍👍
As an owner of the original DJI goggles, I like many eyeglasses wearers ran into the issue of focal length adjustment, or that is to say - NO - FL adjustment on those goggles. We had to purchase after market lenses to aid us when we discovered that our street glasses were no good at allowing us to focus on the screen while wearing them. So , the inevitable question, are these goggles equipped with FL adjustment built in or would we have to hope that the after market helps us out again? I went the AM route and after $40 and a mistake in choosing the right diopter number , I finally settled on a pair of drug store reading glasses that sufficed . It would be nice if DJI would include this feature that is found on almost all cheapie VR goggles sold on Amazon into this product.
FPV anything makes me dizzy. One reason I stopped playing video games 28 years ago. Maybe I will try one of these since puking outside would be somewhat acceptable - ha. ha. 😜
Your water tower video looks fantastic! Did you fly FPV before purchasing this drone? I've ordered one of these myself. I've tried FPV but I'm pretty bad at it. I'm hoping this drone will make it easier to learn. I'm especially excited to see what the video quality looks like for myself. Thanks for sharing videos on your channel. It's always fun to find videos backing up the info left in a comment.
@@ddegn thanks for the nice comment. I’ve been flying DJI for about 5 years. This was my first attempt at FPV. And over only tried the N and Sports mode. Not confident with accro mode yet. Still trying to see where the FPV fits in the videography world.
Awaiting on delivery today ...I'm like a child in a sweet shop . I know this bad boy will be more challenging than my other dji's but looking forward to it 😀. Great review as always . Thanks 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Really good and well explained video. Good thing I hit the unboxing 1st before this video. I want to learn more about fying with FPV drone. This will be a new experience. Thank you for great video. Well done ✔
Absolutely great review for anybody experienced in FPV or not! This the review I wanted to see. Never done FPV yet, interested, but not there yet. But if I do, DJI & YOU have done that for me!
I never tried FPV drone but I believe that sensation is amazing. Definitely I will try but I believe that this drone is currently outside my budget range so I will probably search for some good cheaper solution.
I wouldnt suggest an expensive drone that breaks easily to learn fpv on.. practice on a sim.. just a cheap fpv drone to practice with that wont break.. and if it does its only $5 for an arm. And you can get DJI video system on a regular drone with air unit or vista. Can also get return to home with drone that have gps like explorer, Hexplorer, chimera . (doesnt work the best though)
I started with the phantom 3 standard. I still have it and same 1 battery it came with. Had it for years and over 500 flights. Still gets 25 mins and flys strong. I now just got ma2 combo and like it.
I'm sure the $150 battery packs . props at $4 EACH , $130 camera that'll meed replacing every crash and the plastic construction were all mentioned in detail in this review..it seems to be glossed over in so many others..Is it even compatible with the version 1 goggles ?
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
Looks nice. Just watched the DJI release. I can’t wait to get my hands on one and give my Prusa printer a short vacay. Edit: watched past 17:13, nope, no vacay for Prusa, gotta print more shells and modify for attachments (a Quark 2 perhaps)

Where can you fly this is Los Angeles, California? I’m already struggling when I fly my M2P as I hate to be the center of attention, I prefer privacy when flying. Now imagine the way someone looks when wearing goggles, people don’t understand that. -I’m fighting myself not to press that buy button now.
Where are you flying in the LA area that privacy is your concern and not the fact that most of LA is part of an FAA 0 Altitude zone? Is your device a Mavic product?
The fact that I live and fly no near any airport for at least 25 miles. I live in Valencia, not really LA downtown area, nor no fly zones or restricted altitude around here. So yes, privacy is the main concern for me, not the FAA.
Fernando I am in Houston and feel the same way you feel I like flying in peace also I usually fly in my backyard or go to a park early before people get there So this drone should be perfect because with the goggles on people will stay away

I clicked very fast, this is a must see!
Same lol
Thanks Parky
Nice to see a normal bloke doing a good review (no a spoilt millennial)
Thank you I appreciate your hard work in making this video
Much appreciated!
4:36 I can't believe that in 2021 we still have a new drone where you can see the propellers while flying! It feels like 2010 again!
Right?
I think the same guys who designed Phantom 1 designed this one too. LOL
@@BenHayat Yes, it's very frustrating

@@StadiaTime I don't agree with that. It's still a drone that you can use to record videos. You shouldn't be seeing the propellers at all at anytime!
This quad is perfect for someone who just wants to fly a reliable FPV drone. Awesome overview, Aldryn.

Wow. Drone tech has come a long way. I remember seeing things about FPV drones a few years ago but it was still in development.
0:33 my spark.... maybe this is my new spark 2 😍
The only thing I don’t like, you can see the propellers in the shot. If DJI can fix that, I would be sold!
You don't, I don't have prop in view of I pull dvr off the drone itself.
In the shots on this video, you can see them in the corners almost every shot. Is this not a true example of this picture? I don’t want to get it if that’s what it does

I already crashed it before even owning it! FPV drones are too fast for me!

Buy DRL sim and a transmitter and learn. It's not that hard once you learn to fly
@@fitchyyboi Nah Lift or Velocidrone.. Also a new one coming for goggles or VR goggles DVR sim
@@fitchyyboi i tried DRL for some time. The drone felt too floaty, like the gravity forces were unrealistic
Nice. Just ordered one. But annoying that you see the props in the video! (Just saw at DC Rainmaker that they drop out of view when flying forwards)
It seems there’s a setting which crops slightly to avoid seeing them. Well tought!
@@LMOF01 Good to know but that'll mean it crops in digitally. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I am getting 10 min flight in N mode and 50% battery left. in S mode I get 6 min with 50% battery left. Range so far is 3km :) and rock solid video and RC :) Temp here is 27C

From the short videos it look STABLE for somebody like a beginner with FPV. Great Video.
Wow! The one that we've been waiting for!! DJI FPV Drone finally launched....looks so great!!!
It really is!
Mad Mad Mad Saving for this beautiful spider!!!
Definitely Bro😊got to have it too❤️
Nice, the thing with ACRO mode is that you need to only fly ACRO mode. Any crutch like system will hinder your potential in mastering ACRO. If I had this drone, I wouldn't enable ACRO. I have other drones that will cover that mode.

Overall design aesthetics is unique. I own a mavic 2 pro hands down DJI best consumer drone manufacturer thats for the review.
First one of your videos I have watched. Great info and so straight forward. Thanks. Subscribed!

Thanks for talking about the motion controller. Most of the other RUclipsrs have been skirting around it.
You are doing great job Sir. I love your tutorials. With love from Nigeria.
Only concern, is the Length of flight time. Great video
As always, a very clear and concise introduction to the DJI FPV drone. Good job! Thanks!
this will be a game changer when they release a higher spec version camera fpv for cinematography
Thank you again! I have a practical question about DJI FPV, lets say I want to film rocks and cliffs. Should I sit on top of the cliff for better signal or down at the beach? Will the signal remain ok if the drone goes BEHIND the rocks (no direct view)?

I got an MA2 in December. Just learning that now but I can tell I’ll end up buying this. That price point is incredible for what you get.
Love the video. Same here only dabbled in FPV so far. My DJI FPV should be here Friday.
Al you are the best awesome work buddy
thank you for explaining the system .. very helpful....
Glad it was helpful!
FPV anything makes me dizzy. One reason I stopped playing video games 28 years ago. Maybe I will try one of these since puking outside would be somewhat acceptable - ha. ha. 😜

Can we just appreciate the amazing looking industrial design of this drone?🦾🖤
It looks cool. I question the decision to use the battery as part of the landing gear. Still it has enough cool things going on that I ordered one.
Love it that they did put a lanyard clip on the remote this time, should be on every remote..
That thing does look awesome

Hey Aldryn.
Great video as always.
I've already ordered this drone and await it in 2 days :D
Can't wait!. This'll be my first dip into the FPV world.
As soon as I heard about that new DJI FPV, I had to come here to check about your review of it. Great work as usual ! :)

Well sir... welcome to FPV... it is the greatest feeling... nice review...
Pause button also works to level it out in Manual mode too, no need to flip the switch back to normal or sport. Great video as usual!
Correct.
Wow crazy wow!!!!
FYI, if you want to do a flip or any power move, give it a blip of throttle and then quickly do the power move.
Great video, lots of good info. Thank you....as I start unboxing my drone.
Are you still required to maintain visual line of sight with the drone? I assume you need to have a spotter since the goggles obstruct your vision?
Outstanding job producing this video! Big Fan Hillsboro Oregon.

Subukan mo sa Amazon.
Very sweet. Much jealous lol. Looking forward to seeing your full feedback over time on this avenue.
Coming soon!
Great review, thanks
Maybe it’s Nice to combine the FPV with force dynamic simulator.
You are suppose to only fly rc aircraft at AMA approved spaces, hold AMA insurance and you must keep the model in view at all times.
How can you say you have VLOS when you have goggles over your eyes?
Good question. I believe the "legal" answer would be that you need a spotter every time you fly it.
Supposed to have a spotter with fpv
What they really need to do is force your camera to track with the headset. When you tilt your head up, the camera swings upward, or when you turn your head left, your cam pans left. The HUD would, of course, always show you your deviation from your orientation with the drone.
This drone has a one axis gimbal. It's not really a good candidate for head tracking.
@@ddegn Yikes! Another needed upgrade.
