It's obvious you're refusing to share the STL file because you want to sell tiny prints for $30 when anyone could print them for $2. No need to be rude. Just admit it and move on.
I must agree that on the remote there should be a phone or tablet mount so I case the goggles lost signal, I van flip them up and I can still see where the drone is location.
I have 6 flights on mine and love it so far. I do have other FPV drones I fly but the range on this is awesome with no video break up like on my other drones.
I never flew a drone in my life until today with this drone. I was nervous but practicing on the simulator helped but I plan to keep it real and simple until I’m ready for the next level. Thank you for your honesty. It really helps.
Yeah you went with a chip on your shoulder like you had an ax to grind in the beginning. You “FPV Guys” seem to have figured it all out before you even try to figure it out. Funny now everyone is singing a different tune but sometimes that’s just for face value of the channel I think.

My day job is creating pedagogically viable video for online education, which I've been doing since 1996. I've seen lots of good video, way lots of awful video, and some really fantastic video. I know it when I see it. I'm droning for my own art & music videos, and some for my university. Your videos are priceless, in quality and honesty, and you advance my purposes in the most efficient way possible. Hence , I have no choice but to refer to you as professor, whether anyone likes it or not. Life is short, so I do my own accreditation, thank you very much, because I'm too old for bogusness. Thank you, professor. I'm going to watch all your videos. Don't change.
Thanks for the honest review and big up for dropping the fly safe, fly smart message for pilots. Seen waaay too many videos of new flyers sending it over highways, crowded parks, open water, and city blocks. Also, have to agree about the smart batteries. Not worrying about my house burning down when charging is almost worth the price of admission alone. pricey but cheaper than buying a new house. I gotta say as a new flyer I have found the panic button a really great and useable tool while slowly learning Acro mode. As soon as I get freaked out on the sticks I hit that button and it's all good. I figure once I can fly confidently ill move over to a real fpv drone and it won't just be me crashing all day long and if I do it will hold up better. well, that's the hope anyway.
Absolutely the best review of the Fpv and its features. Coming from big rc helicopters and a hubsan drone, this thing is mind blowing, the digital fpv view on the V2 goggles after eachine v100 goggles and hubsan transmitter screen is like stepping in to another world. I have flown 600 and 700 size helicopters without electronic stabilization and no flybar, and still I keep this out of manual mode. Don't feel like needing the manual mode just yet, its too fun just to cruise in the air with N and S modes. Feels like very expensive but buy once cry once. The view up there is breathtaking.
I think my experience will be like yours. I fly 700’s down to micros. I just ordered my DJI and it’s coming Wednesday. Your right about crying. I always choke on prices. As you know a 700 is nearly 3k so I guess I should have ordered 2? Lmao. I got fly more kit. I’ve been flying since 05 so I’m a proficient 3d pilot. I’ve never crossed the fpv threshold because I was worried that I wouldn’t want to fly my other stuff. This DJI product looks sweet as hell. I’m gonna love it.
@@DJ_SHANNIMAL you'll love it for sure, but be sure to sit down for couple of the first flights. You'll get slightly disoriented at first. But the view up there is amazing! To see the world from above.
For an old retired airline pilot like me who doesn`t want to build a custom set up and just wants to play `pilot` again using fpv this is tremendous fun. Buy the Joystick Controller !! ...and the prop guards...
On the weak props: when you crash into a planet the energy has to be dissipated somehow. If the strengthen the props then the forces transfer through them to something else, which will probably break and cost more to replace. Also, more strength normally equates to more weight thus more energy in a crash and a vicious circle ensues. Golden rule with aviation: don't crash!
Propowash: there's a "column" of air made by your props constantly under your drone. A "prop wash" happens when you end up inside that column right below you, for example if you steer around 90 degrees after a dive or you're suddenly turning 180 degrees while racing through gates. Thanks to its weight and the inertia, that will push your drone inside that "column" of air and, since that air is pushed in the same direction by your props once you've turned the drone, it'll basically cancel your push, and you'll need to compensate by giving a lot more throttle. It's always better to avoid that, some smaller drones behave unpredictably during propwash and some bigger ones doesn't have enough power to compensate, making them crash if too close to land
I picked one up today, have to wait for better weather but can’t wait to try it. I have a mavic pro, mini, and a spark but this thing rips has distance and has fpv which I’ve been wanting to try.
I'm one of those people who has a love / hate relationship with DJI camera drones and keep buying, get bored & sell them on. I love my fpv quads, but will probably buy one of these, if and when I can afford one, to replace whatever camera drone I have at the time. Your review here is excellent and very fair and further steers me toward the ultimate camera drone for me; smooth, cinematic style flights with the added security of DJI systems. It'll never replace my 'normal' fpv quads but would be a great additional tool when at scenic locations. Great video 🙂🙂
Tired of everyone saying how expensive this drone is......I just watched another review on a RTF FPV drone all inclusive package with Goggles, Batteries, Props, etc etc......and this was also an entry level drone and the price was $1995.00. The DJI FPV drone is all inclusive with more features than you get on regular FPV drones for $1200.00. Like you said in your review @OriginaldoBo you can fly this thing in Normal or Sport forever and never ever even go into Acro or Manual! One of the issues with a lot of reviews on the DJI FPV drone is they are having seasoned FPV pilots review it........Hell DJI! I've never flown an FPV, give me one and I'll review it!!!
Best review that I've seen yet. I just bought mine a week ago. Have no plans to go into manual mode. Just want a different experience than I get with my Mavic 2 Pro and Mini 2. When I want to see full on freestyle or racing I will watch it on RUclips.
This is my first drone and I've taken it out twice so far. Sport mode is super fun and intuitive. Super happy with it and can't wait to get started in manual mode. I just wish the simulator worked for Android. Gonna try Liftoff as it's been recommended. Gonna strap a GoPro to it and after that it's basically perfect for me. I may get into other traditional FPV drones eventually. I'm really digging this hobby.
Just boughtthis for my sons Christmas gift with a few added accessories and it doesn't take long to hit the 2K mark especially when buying it in CAD currency!
this is the kind of review people should watch it they're thinking of buying dji fpv instead of watching people complaining comparing it to home made fpv. if you gonna do crazy acro this is not the drone for u but if you only gonna use it for mounting surfing or going down a building this drone is capable of doing that. great video man🙌
Love the honest and unfiltered review. I'm still unsure if it's worth it to go the lazy way for my first FPV drone... But at the same time, I love the digital video, but again, it's not very customizable. I want a drone that can do real FPV freestyle but also really good cinematic shots, and the ability to change lens and such for instance upgrading it to have lateral rotation too. I really don't like that it's not modular and repairable DIY for bigger damages. If I destroyed a 1250eur that would be the end of it no second purchase. A DIY drone is just more forgiving, once past the hassle of figuring out how to get started...
It needs max auto ISO/locked shutter for ND filter use like a GoPro, way less sharpening, some work on the noise in the shadows and allow things like disabling the auto RTH at 25% battery. Flight performance could definitely be improved drastically with tuning. They need to allow a post-stabilization workflow either with their own software or gyro embedded in the metadata. They need an accessory to lock or reduce the soft-mount. Light breezes can shift the camera. In the goggles it looks like the drone can't even track in a straight line because of it. The only real use it has for experienced pilots is flying far over water or in sketchy RF conditions.
I love my dji fpv, also keep in mind you can use the goggles for another drone. So if one day you want to have a DIY FPV drone for more risky flights you can use the same goggles.
Regular carbon fiber framed FPV freestyle or racing drones are by far the best. They are very tough and cheap to repair, so you have a lot less stress in having fun with them. And thus you can level up faster.
Good to hear you don't hate it like Ken Heron does lol Based on your flight videos, you're definitely a more seasoned at FPV pilot than Mr. Heron. No offense to anyone.
Hi Ken.. I'am glad your opinion had changed a little bit for the good.. Now, I broke 3 arms!!! in one crash, but fortunatly enough it's only plastic damage. To my surprise, tearing it apart was NOT all that difficult. Just 12 motor wires, the rest is connectors. I orderded 4 new arms and a main-middle- body-frame (original DJI) cost me around 70 bucks
Regards DOBO, it is good to point out that if you change to the old protocol to use a traditional fpv drone when you return to the new protocol you will have to bind all the equipment back again
Thanks so much for this review. I'm a Mavic guy who has been wanting to get into FPV, and I've been spending a fair amount of time in the simulators. I just bought this for precisely one of the reasons you have given; I'm hoping it will ease my transition into DIY FPV. I'm very confident with my Mavic, but my performance in Manual mode in the sims has not been great. So, it's perfect for a guy in my situation. And thanks for being fair. I know that there is a ton of words on both sides of this drone, and it might have felt natural to naysay it. So, thanks. And I'll be back for more.
@@marlonvalle1225 It’s been great. A couple of crashes, but other than a couple of broken props, no damage serious enough to need parts or repair. Love flying it. And I’m flying whoops around the house during the cold wet weather here in the PNW. My biggest piece of advice is to spent LOTS of time using the simulation. Pretty fun and it will save you much time and grief when you decide you are ready for open air. Good luck!
Bought my FPV about a year ago love it to bits its a great drone its like the V8 of DJI drones I tried a DJI avada last week but was disappointed with it even in light wind it was too unstable I took my FPV out after when the wind got up a bit No worries
I would definitely have to agree with you in that it’s a unfinished product, but knowing DJI, I’m sure this is on purpose. On the other hand I do think it’s a good product and great idea for what it’s intended purpose is.
That pause button....im thankful. I need hella practice tho cause the down throttle quick ascending really hurts me, I'm not use to that. That didn't happen in the simulator. In the simulator, down throttle did nothing but let the drone slowly fall. I prefer that, I guess that's not reality and need to learn to deal with it😭😭😭😭
Just over here watching your video, saw the clip of the orange groves by bok tower… was like wait a min, that looks familiar lmao never expected to see my hometown
I wanna see you take the guts out of the DJI FPV and put them on a custom frame! I heard you talk about this and I would like to see how it goes. If it works, I would do it as well.
The worst thing about RUclips is if a viewer don't know much about a drone and they think that the guy that has this channel knows everything about it then they're fooling themselves
I flew my DJIFPV for the second time today and I felt that shutter that you’re talking about on fast acceleration I think the propellers are very flexible and they’re almost unbalanced for a second while the leading edge of the propeller passes A threshold of speed in the front of the quad into the wind and thereby sets up a wobble . 🤓 😳 🤪👍🏻✨
Great vid. I agree with you for all you said. I love my drone. It's soo good to know that if you fly too far, our failsafe is that it will return to home. Just brilliant! With this drone its 100% flying all the time.
I agree 100%! Started flying FPV 1 month ago and baught 2 BetaFPV tiny drones, an iFlight IH2 2 inch freestyle drone with caddx vista and the dji fpv ... And yes - it is an fpv drone - but not exactly what you would expect from an freestyle quad. But i enjoy flying the dji for cinematic smooth high image quality footage - and then kick the ih2 around and do some freestyle tricks. So - no i do not regret buying it - first and foremost because this way i already got the goggles with the kit :) Thanks for the vids ! love your work! Greetings from germany
Well, as an experienced pilot, I bought it for long range flight, however, I prefer my own builds much more. This drone has been sitting on the shelf for a while because it limits my flying abilities.
@@duruebuka913Sure, I'll let the drone go, but I have to keep the goggles. I have 5 batteries, ND Filter set etc that can go with it. I usually get everything I need to fly and stay in the air
@@pitythegreat no, I didn't really have to sell it. I was just going to purchase something else I wanted with the cash. That's why I offered such a great deal but all I got was low ball offers. So, I decided to just keep it
Very well balanced review. And as a Mavic "convert" or rather as an addition to an Air1 or Mini 2 I love it and made me order a "real" fpv sub 250 g quad.
Excellent video great information I took my quad to the field I let anybody that want to try it out in normal mode and they absolutely fell in love with it coming from a person that flies NAZ 5 my self I like both like you said I hope DJI does come out with some different software updates to make it even better 👍
The kick out will depend on how much battery it need to fight the wind to get back light winds mabay only need 20 percent but 8 to 9 knots of wind might need 45 percent battery 🔋
I just got one of these for xmas it arrived today. I'm very new to drones. I have a nutel also that has that phone mount on the rc. This is going to be funnn..
People have different tastes on what they want I guess with these drones. I have it and I love love love this drone. The ant crash tech is great, its not cheap especially after to add up all the extra you buy for it, charging strip ,2 extra batts, Vinyl skin, Goggles upgrades, controller anetenna extend, extra goggles batt, carrying case $3k , I almost regret insurance But I have yet to fly manual. Sport is 60mph, I like the extra detail in the vid ,in fact I love it. I just got the filters, love the added turtle mode. I have not crashed or even chopped anything, I bubmped a power line going straight up out of view and not a scratch or issue. I did buy the carbon fiber quiet props and returned them,. They are NOT the same design, they are flatter than the OEM props that have a twist to them and it noticeably effects the control in flight, especially take off and landing. It took off and was going backwards and was seeming to be more unstable so I returned them. Stick with the OEM props. I wish that the camera had zoom in and out capability , it goes up and down only. I also hope there is a night vision green screen camera we can add later to this to convert it to pitch black night drone for off road camping recon in the dark. Would be a huge capability. I liked it so much I bought every bell and whistle, even the FIRERCRacker LED , IS KILLER. I bought the walkera 210 deluxe and the build sucks compared to this and you really notice how good this one is, the walkera is gonna crash and the batt life is a joke. This one has a decsent batt life its more than OK. They all freakin lie about batt time -it pisses me off actually , they need to tell buyers how long the damn thing can fly, period. The walkera 210 claims 9min , its half that. Thats a joke , and its start beeping in vein when its getting low so only few min , DJI fpv you can fly solid 12 min in sport manual is more, the faster you go the shorter fly time.
Great Review, after 30 days, Ken. I agree, not everyone has to fly manual mode. Craig, aka Dad Random, has great videos just using normal and sports mode. I really believe that dji meant this drone to fly more cinematic miles rather than manual.
I was in sport mode by accident, on my second flight.... Ran into the side of the house at 60mph and broke my front right arm. Super glue and gorilla tape has it flying like new. Dozens of flights like this, so far.... phew!
Now I understand the need for go pro. My oppology for bashing the whole idea for a Go pro mount. Thanks for clearing that up. My age/ eyes don't see what young eyes see. Great video Ken 👍👍👍
Just watched this so late to the party. Coming from a heli background and the crazy things they can do. My thought is, is it the motors underpowered, or is the intelligent battery not giving it the full punch needed compared to a traditional LIPO? Just a thought.
I crashed in Sport Mode... My fault haha, almost cried, crashed against a tree cuz instead of lift, I panicked and went forward. Good thing I had warranty and bestbuy gave me a new one. But in the downside I had to buy the warranty again. But... It was worth it since I broke two arms and the camera, it was horrible. So be careful!! So far now, I love it!!
Coming from a Mavic Mini and dabbling in tiny whoops I absolutely love this drone. I have so much more confidence in flying it FPV instead of staring at an iPhone with the mini. I do agree with the points dobo made.
Thanks OB. I'm trying not to watch videos that I'm not ready for, or drones I'm not ready to buy... but I can't help it when it comes to DJI or your review of their products. This was fun to watch, and it might be a drone I'll buy for my friend... let's see where it goes. Great review though.
@@x1c3x: Many FPV pilots double-protect the start of the motors. So you have to operate 2 switches to start the motors. Since there is no free switch assignment with the DJI Racer, I use the mode switch as a prearm switch as the first switch and the start / stop switch as a second switch for manual mode flight. The motors can only be switched on for manual flights if the mode switch is set to M and then the start / stop switch is pressed twice.
Great Video, I've had my DJI FPV for a couple of weeks, I've noticed that I'm flying the FPV a lot higher, and further with the FPV than with my Mavic 2P, Mini 2, MA2, and P4 v2, I'm guessing this could be because of the Goggles, and having the view of the signal strengths right in your face, although I haven't flown in manual mode yet, I've found Sport Mode to be very good. If anything, this FPV Drone has shown me that I can push the Mavics to their full potentials and not have tom worry so much about losing them over the Bay
Did you experience any motion sickens? How was the feeling on first flight. I tried VR goggles once with a rollercoaster sim. Fast movement and losing that horizon level made me dizzy after 1-2 minutes already.
@@eco999 I got some dizziness when using the virtual simulator, however, actual flight outside, the experience was completely different, I haven’t tried manual mode outside, just normal and sport mode, there are times when I feel that I’m leaning slightly when making bank turns, other than that, it’s all good.
This is a great review, I have a question...I am in the market for a new DJI, and have been flying the other dji stuff for about 6-7 years now and always wanted to do fpv but not really into building and all that stuff....can you recommend a FPV drone and controller I could get along side this package. I was thinking because I have to get a new dji anyways this could be a cool way to have a new drone but also when I wanna practice acro flying I would just use the DJI headset with cheaper FPV and a cheaper controller...but unsure if that could be a thing...but though that way I can crash a bunch and as I learn a new move bring it the DJI fpv....nonetheless I really wanna try FPV but the hassle of building has left me on the sideline for years...thanks so much again.

this is the kind of review people should watch it they're thinking of buying dji fpv instead of watching people complaining comparing it to home made fpv. if you gonna do crazy acro this is not the drone for u but if you only gonna use it for mounting surfing or going down a building this drone is capable of doing that. great video man🙌
appreciate the kind words
Love the honest and unfiltered review. I'm still unsure if it's worth it to go the lazy way for my first FPV drone... But at the same time, I love the digital video, but again, it's not very customizable. I want a drone that can do real FPV freestyle but also really good cinematic shots, and the ability to change lens and such for instance upgrading it to have lateral rotation too. I really don't like that it's not modular and repairable DIY for bigger damages. If I destroyed a 1250eur that would be the end of it no second purchase. A DIY drone is just more forgiving, once past the hassle of figuring out how to get started...
It needs max auto ISO/locked shutter for ND filter use like a GoPro, way less sharpening, some work on the noise in the shadows and allow things like disabling the auto RTH at 25% battery. Flight performance could definitely be improved drastically with tuning. They need to allow a post-stabilization workflow either with their own software or gyro embedded in the metadata. They need an accessory to lock or reduce the soft-mount. Light breezes can shift the camera. In the goggles it looks like the drone can't even track in a straight line because of it. The only real use it has for experienced pilots is flying far over water or in sketchy RF conditions.
Simple solution: buy the prop adapter and put any props on it what ever you want. plus it flys much smoother then :D
I love my dji fpv, also keep in mind you can use the goggles for another drone. So if one day you want to have a DIY FPV drone for more risky flights you can use the same goggles.
Regular carbon fiber framed FPV freestyle or racing drones are by far the best. They are very tough and cheap to repair, so you have a lot less stress in having fun with them. And thus you can level up faster.
so I bought DJI FPV combo (integra, rc2) and just Avata 2. so what can I tell - flied just once in manual mode - this avata 2 is awesome!
Good to hear you don't hate it like Ken Heron does lol
Based on your flight videos, you're definitely a more seasoned at FPV pilot than Mr. Heron.
No offense to anyone.
Beginner or not like me to fpv i love it and not getting the real ones of building your own love my dji fpv this drone and it's features.
Thanks for the vids! I ordered one last week from your site directly based on your feedback. Keep up the good work!
Hi Ken.. I'am glad your opinion had changed a little bit for the good.. Now, I broke 3 arms!!! in one crash, but fortunatly enough it's only plastic damage. To my surprise, tearing it apart was NOT all that difficult. Just 12 motor wires, the rest is connectors. I orderded 4 new arms and a main-middle- body-frame (original DJI) cost me around 70 bucks
I have flown it twice and love it. thanks for the frank opinions and tips. appreciate! keep up the good videos.
So you aren’t constantly charging the same one
I love how youtubers act like they know more than multi-billion dollar companies that revolutionized the industry.
I love how viewers leave baseless comments
It is cool that you are open minded to this drone
Regards DOBO, it is good to point out that if you change to the old protocol to use a traditional fpv drone when you return to the new protocol you will have to bind all the equipment back again
Thanks so much for this review. I'm a Mavic guy who has been wanting to get into FPV, and I've been spending a fair amount of time in the simulators. I just bought this for precisely one of the reasons you have given; I'm hoping it will ease my transition into DIY FPV. I'm very confident with my Mavic, but my performance in Manual mode in the sims has not been great. So, it's perfect for a guy in my situation. And thanks for being fair. I know that there is a ton of words on both sides of this drone, and it might have felt natural to naysay it. So, thanks. And I'll be back for more.
How did it go for you ?
@@marlonvalle1225 It’s been great. A couple of crashes, but other than a couple of broken props, no damage serious enough to need parts or repair. Love flying it. And I’m flying whoops around the house during the cold wet weather here in the PNW. My biggest piece of advice is to spent LOTS of time using the simulation. Pretty fun and it will save you much time and grief when you decide you are ready for open air. Good luck!
@@JohnFSmitheugene thanks for the advice bud! I bought it have used it a couple of times in the cold in minnesota as well. I’ve had fun with it.
@@marlonvalle1225 anytime, friend. Keep ‘‘em flying!
Thank you for this review, been wanting to get one, I do cinematic shots with my skydio2 and I love it but this would be a game changer thanks again
Bought my FPV about a year ago love it to bits its a great drone
its like the V8 of DJI drones
I tried a DJI avada last week but was disappointed with it even in light wind it was too unstable
I took my FPV out after when the wind got up a bit
No worries
I would definitely have to agree with you in that it’s a unfinished product, but knowing DJI, I’m sure this is on purpose. On the other hand I do think it’s a good product and great idea for what it’s intended purpose is.
Always great reviews with follow ups later on the ones that need it... thanks as always!!
That pause button....im thankful. I need hella practice tho cause the down throttle quick ascending really hurts me, I'm not use to that. That didn't happen in the simulator. In the simulator, down throttle did nothing but let the drone slowly fall. I prefer that, I guess that's not reality and need to learn to deal with it😭😭😭😭
Just over here watching your video, saw the clip of the orange groves by bok tower… was like wait a min, that looks familiar lmao never expected to see my hometown
I wanna see you take the guts out of the DJI FPV and put them on a custom frame! I heard you talk about this and I would like to see how it goes. If it works, I would do it as well.
How did you get 12 minutes in manual mode? I get 5-6 minutes in sport mode? Wouldn’t sport mode use less battery? Just curious.
The Vibration mainly happens because the props are not hard enough. Just buy Aftermarket Props and the prop wash disappears :)
Great work on reviewing this! Greetings from Portugal
The worst thing about RUclips is if a viewer don't know much about a drone and they think that the guy that has this channel knows everything about it then they're fooling themselves
The thing about RUclips is that you don’t know who the fuck you’re talking to… now sit the fuck down jr
@@OriginaldoBo it's obvious you have trouble with women
I flew my DJIFPV for the second time today and I felt that shutter that you’re talking about on fast acceleration I think the propellers are very flexible and they’re almost unbalanced for a second while the leading edge of the propeller passes A threshold of speed in the front of the quad into the wind and thereby sets up a wobble . 🤓 😳 🤪👍🏻✨
Great vid. I agree with you for all you said. I love my drone. It's soo good to know that if you fly too far, our failsafe is that it will return to home. Just brilliant! With this drone its 100% flying all the time.
Good review, I like your honesty, that you swear and the music on your outtro… subbed 👊🏾
Best comment I’ve read
I agree 100%!
Started flying FPV 1 month ago and baught 2 BetaFPV tiny drones, an iFlight IH2 2 inch freestyle drone with caddx vista and the dji fpv ...
And yes - it is an fpv drone - but not exactly what you would expect from an freestyle quad.
But i enjoy flying the dji for cinematic smooth high image quality footage - and then kick the ih2 around and do some freestyle tricks.
So - no i do not regret buying it - first and foremost because this way i already got the goggles with the kit :)
Thanks for the vids ! love your work!
Greetings from germany
Thanks for the review, N1 its great to hear an honest opinion from a pro for a newbie who just bought the product.
Well, as an experienced pilot, I bought it for long range flight, however, I prefer my own builds much more. This drone has been sitting on the shelf for a while because it limits my flying abilities.
Can I buy it?
@@duruebuka913Sure, I'll let the drone go, but I have to keep the goggles. I have 5 batteries, ND Filter set etc that can go with it. I usually get everything I need to fly and stay in the air
@@in-vision652 did you end up selling the drone? And accessories?
@@pitythegreat no, I didn't really have to sell it. I was just going to purchase something else I wanted with the cash. That's why I offered such a great deal but all I got was low ball offers. So, I decided to just keep it
@@in-vision652 if you’re still interested in selling - how much would you sell for now?
Very well balanced review. And as a Mavic "convert" or rather as an addition to an Air1 or Mini 2 I love it and made me order a "real" fpv sub 250 g quad.
What did you get under 250g?
@@VirtualDarKness a GepRC Cinelog 25 HD and later an HGLRC Venom H 20.
@@seb-depp thanks
Excellent video great information I took my quad to the field I let anybody that want to try it out in normal mode and they absolutely fell in love with it coming from a person that flies NAZ 5 my self
I like both like you said I hope DJI does come out with some different software updates to make it even better 👍
The kick out will depend on how much battery it need to fight the wind to get back light winds mabay only need 20 percent but 8 to 9 knots of wind might need 45 percent battery 🔋
Thank you for this comprehensive and honest review!
I just got one of these for xmas it arrived today. I'm very new to drones. I have a nutel also that has that phone mount on the rc. This is going to be funnn..
Great review video as usual !
7:40 cracked me up lol
I am about to pull the trigger and get me one. 🤗
People have different tastes on what they want I guess with these drones. I have it and I love love love this drone. The ant crash tech is great, its not cheap especially after to add up all the extra you buy for it, charging strip ,2 extra batts, Vinyl skin, Goggles upgrades, controller anetenna extend, extra goggles batt, carrying case $3k , I almost regret insurance But I have yet to fly manual. Sport is 60mph, I like the extra detail in the vid ,in fact I love it. I just got the filters, love the added turtle mode. I have not crashed or even chopped anything, I bubmped a power line going straight up out of view and not a scratch or issue. I did buy the carbon fiber quiet props and returned them,. They are NOT the same design, they are flatter than the OEM props that have a twist to them and it noticeably effects the control in flight, especially take off and landing. It took off and was going backwards and was seeming to be more unstable so I returned them. Stick with the OEM props. I wish that the camera had zoom in and out capability , it goes up and down only. I also hope there is a night vision green screen camera we can add later to this to convert it to pitch black night drone for off road camping recon in the dark. Would be a huge capability. I liked it so much I bought every bell and whistle, even the FIRERCRacker LED , IS KILLER. I bought the walkera 210 deluxe and the build sucks compared to this and you really notice how good this one is, the walkera is gonna crash and the batt life is a joke. This one has a decsent batt life its more than OK. They all freakin lie about batt time -it pisses me off actually , they need to tell buyers how long the damn thing can fly, period. The walkera 210 claims 9min , its half that. Thats a joke , and its start beeping in vein when its getting low so only few min , DJI fpv you can fly solid 12 min in sport manual is more, the faster you go the shorter fly time.
Where to get the replacement goggle foam ? the stock one sucks have to use a hoodie to block gaps of daylight, yours looks rather comfortable to use.
with best buy total tech you can replace anything up to twice a year for 2 years...thats the only reason why i got one haha
Great Review, after 30 days, Ken. I agree, not everyone has to fly manual mode. Craig, aka Dad Random, has great videos just using normal and sports mode. I really believe that dji meant this drone to fly more cinematic miles rather than manual.
If they ask you what is prop wash and you don't know, you don't have to make things up about underpowered engines (which they are but not the cause)..
Very informative and objective. Thanks for your review! I may wait for fpv 2 but great footage!
I am getting a full set up with a DJI FPV Drone. I like to know where I can get the feet coverings and battery protection.
Just got mine in today. Thanks for the update review
It’s much better than a holy stone drone
I was in sport mode by accident, on my second flight.... Ran into the side of the house at 60mph and broke my front right arm.
Super glue and gorilla tape has it flying like new. Dozens of flights like this, so far.... phew!
I fly FPV, I don’t have this drone nor do I want it but I still watch this video all the way through 🤣
Now I understand the need for go pro. My oppology for bashing the whole idea for a Go pro mount. Thanks for clearing that up. My age/ eyes don't see what young eyes see. Great video Ken 👍👍👍
Just watched this so late to the party. Coming from a heli background and the crazy things they can do. My thought is, is it the motors underpowered, or is the intelligent battery not giving it the full punch needed compared to a traditional LIPO? Just a thought.
Would you still recommend the dji fpv drone? its at 999$ now
Would love to see a couple of Super - Maxi yachts battling it out using this drone for footage !! OMG !!
I crashed in Sport Mode... My fault haha, almost cried, crashed against a tree cuz instead of lift, I panicked and went forward. Good thing I had warranty and bestbuy gave me a new one. But in the downside I had to buy the warranty again. But... It was worth it since I broke two arms and the camera, it was horrible. So be careful!! So far now, I love it!!
another great video ken
Do you like the dji fpv drone or dji avata?? What you think is your best
Coming from a Mavic Mini and dabbling in tiny whoops I absolutely love this drone. I have so much more confidence in flying it FPV instead of staring at an iPhone with the mini. I do agree with the points dobo made.
Goddamn I wish dji would release the 2nd generation
Thanks OB. I'm trying not to watch videos that I'm not ready for, or drones I'm not ready to buy... but I can't help it when it comes to DJI or your review of their products. This was fun to watch, and it might be a drone I'll buy for my friend... let's see where it goes. Great review though.
No links on where to buy a "spotter mike" or did you have to print an amazon return label for him
For the phone holder I just use an old phantom mount and it works perfect so you don’t have to put your phone in your pocket 👍🇨🇦
People love their flying macbooks
Comprehensible review, as usual 👍
BTW: Because mode N or S disarms the start stop button. I use the flight mode switch as a prearm switch.
Hi, could you please explain this comment to a drone noob? lol
@@x1c3x: Many FPV pilots double-protect the start of the motors. So you have to operate 2 switches to start the motors. Since there is no free switch assignment with the DJI Racer, I use the mode switch as a prearm switch as the first switch and the start / stop switch as a second switch for manual mode flight. The motors can only be switched on for manual flights if the mode switch is set to M and then the start / stop switch is pressed twice.
My biggest complaint is that the controller won't work on other Caddx Vista systems. So you don't have buy another DJI controller for other drones.
Great Video, I've had my DJI FPV for a couple of weeks, I've noticed that I'm flying the FPV a lot higher, and further with the FPV than with my Mavic 2P, Mini 2, MA2, and P4 v2, I'm guessing this could be because of the Goggles, and having the view of the signal strengths right in your face, although I haven't flown in manual mode yet, I've found Sport Mode to be very good. If anything, this FPV Drone has shown me that I can push the Mavics to their full potentials and not have tom worry so much about losing them over the Bay
Did you experience any motion sickens? How was the feeling on first flight. I tried VR goggles once with a rollercoaster sim. Fast movement and losing that horizon level made me dizzy after 1-2 minutes already.
@@eco999 I got some dizziness when using the virtual simulator, however, actual flight outside, the experience was completely different, I haven’t tried manual mode outside, just normal and sport mode, there are times when I feel that I’m leaning slightly when making bank turns, other than that, it’s all good.
Can't you change it in post the video quality the highs and lows or contrast
This is a great review, I have a question...I am in the market for a new DJI, and have been flying the other dji stuff for about 6-7 years now and always wanted to do fpv but not really into building and all that stuff....can you recommend a FPV drone and controller I could get along side this package. I was thinking because I have to get a new dji anyways this could be a cool way to have a new drone but also when I wanna practice acro flying I would just use the DJI headset with cheaper FPV and a cheaper controller...but unsure if that could be a thing...but though that way I can crash a bunch and as I learn a new move bring it the DJI fpv....nonetheless I really wanna try FPV but the hassle of building has left me on the sideline for years...thanks so much again.
Propwash is turbulent air from the props. You really can’t do much to fix this since you can’t PID tune the motors.
not me vibing with the music in the beginning xD
LMAO I missread this comment haahha my bad.. 😂 DM me on insta I wanna send you some swag to make up for me being a jerk
thank you! i'm looking to buy this and your video really helped me ! did you change the rates in presets?
