I bought two of them...it was an incredibly painful setup process and I consider myself a DJI experiencer. They really are locking it down to a software ecosystem. The Tesla of the Air.
Thanks Andy, you did a remarkable overview and covered a lot of items some reviewers have overlooked or skipped over. This DJI hybrid has more to it than just RTF out of the box, I appreciate your coverage.
I want to learn how to do the tricks....flips and rolls. I went out to fly today in the mountains..it was really windy up 500 feet .... so I went to a different place and it was really windy there too. Dam... love my drone!! I just got the fly more kit.
the first units arrived on day one early march to 2,5 hours to activate and to update firmware cause you have to charge at least 1 battery full first to put it into the drone and be ready for firmware update. Half charged battery will not allow you to do firmware update.
thanks for the video. Im a beginner and trying to change my aspect ratio, but when I toggle to the transmission menu Im not able to scroll down to the selections. Any ideas? thanks
Hi to all , Andy thank you for your video so please i need to know if dji google 2 have audio output in real time from for example caddx polar vista kit , Can I also listen to the audio coming from the caddx view while flying? in real time ?thank you in advance for reply Regards
I thought he was being a bit reckless with his maneuvers the loops in particular I though for sure he was going to pancake it in upside down luckily he didn't so good job.
Cool review buddy!! Just one thing. At 0:35 you say: "Don't use this".. When I first had this drone OFCOURSE I didn't use it.. Got me a Good Oll 3000mah 4S lipo and used that. But that stupid little DJI battery might just surprise you. It surprised me A LOT. It's really not thàt bad.
I wouldn’t use a lipo with the goggles unless it had a built in voltage cutoff. I plugged in a lipo that was discharged below 7v by accident and the goggles freaked out and went back into drone mode. I had to downgrade again to get my fpv air unit mode back again!
I had sent to DJI Care my v1 goggles due to a faulty LCD on one of the sides and DJI engineer evaluation due to the small dent (you explained in the plate) indicated is due to fall damage :) and was very stubborn to admit they are at fault. I had to show them pictures of the iflight plate and custom antennas and escalate twice for them to admit they are at fault! That dent almost costed me 280E repairs! I wish all DJI digital fpv drone owners best of luck and be careful with your gear!
Hello Andy , you said that you record the goggles view with camera pointed . How exactly you do it ? Do you point the camera only to one eye of the goggles ?
Another awesome fpv vid! I can honestly say Powell, Andy RC,Andrew Newton, Bruce and BMSweb are a true Hobbyist bringing more people to a great safe but expensive hobby! Thank you for helping all of us! ANDY A++ RC haha!
Did you adjust your rates ? this thing is all over the place, simple turns and throttle control is so sketchy, why cant it feel like the drones in my sim , I have so much precise control over those drones which feels like my tinyhawk2.
Are you going to do an in-depth video explaining rates? You could actually use your skills to demonstrate them, unlike most DJI reviewers. A lot of the floaty camera influencers are getting confused, and also calling changing rates tuning. I am seeing a lot of new users being confused and asking for advice on what to set rates to for beginners
Of course not. DJI makes you buy everything all over again. Goggles, controller, batteries, chargers, cables... in with the new and out with the old into the garbage bin.
Hey Andy I've just got this drone. I'm having issues with the H.265 format (video playback seems jumpy and lagging) noticed that you said you use H.264. I've tried the H.264 and it seems better but is the H.265 not a better format to use? Any advice would be helpful cheers.
The specs would make me suspect this quad is a bit underpowered for its weight compared to what we are used to, it looks like it in acro footage too is that correct? Anyway good review of the setup and flight, will be interesting to see what you do with this quad. I’m sure someone is already designing a carbon fibre frame to transplant its electronics and create a killer long range freestyle build 😆
This has to be the best information set video for the DJI fpv Drone I have seen, nice one Andy 👍 Great little flight too, so bloody funny watching your friend waving his arms about to direct you in when you were trying to line up for the landing pad (well done by the way) couldn't you of tilted the cam down so you could see the landing pad better ? or won't the cam tilt in manual mode ?
My DJI FPV drone self destructed today because of the no Disarm button. hit a small branch, it flipped out. motors would not shut down. I have a very nice video. you should check it out.
Awesome flight Sir. Man that was actually pretty damn good piloting brother Andy. Keep up the good job. Thanks soo much for sharing buddy. I also have the Dji FPV drone and i am loving 🥰 the sports mode. You just got a big like 👍 and thumbs up 👍. Also a big fan and a Big Supporter here. Just subbed to your channel. Would appreciate love and support Sir. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Once you adjust what little rate controls they gave us (as I know you will) and tilt that camera up she'll fly and fly fast. It won't replace none of my 5"s or any of my real FPV drones. But this is different as a mix between FPV & GPS. It's made for smooth video recordings with some lite acro fun mixed in. The hand control is nice too as it's new way to fly, I own many FPV drones and most of DJI's stuff so this fits nicely in my barn. Great review Andy
Great review! But please please, in your flying review, please show footage of the unstabilized video in the goggles. To me, the wiggling/jiggling in the goggles is show-stopper bad (looks to be because of the sloppy tune). I've crashed mine already and haven't put the footage of mine up on my youtube channel yet, but it's frustrating that no reviewers are showing this really awful problem. It takes all the fun out of flying it for me and causes pilot fatigue very quickly, especially in wind or flying at high speeds. I've gone back to my iflights and Diatone Roma F5 and won't be replacing my dead FPV drone. Unless/until DJI tunes the thing or gives us a way to adjust the PIDs....
I didn't think their tune was any near as bad as people have been saying. Not sure why u would want to turn eis off just to show the wobbles. That would be like showing a vista footage instead of gopro and I could pick that apart all day too. Can't say at any point it's tune would have caused me to crash
@@AndyRCchannel No, my crash was all my fault, I can assure you :). As for the in-goggle video, it might just be that I'm so accustomed to my Betaflight quads (2 iflights and a Diatone Roma F5) which are just absolutely rock-steady in flight. Even in winds over 20mph, the image is steadier than I saw in the FPV drone at moderate speeds in calm conditions. It was bad enough that I didn't really even think about replacing mine after the crash, the corpse is still on my shelf (the electronics all still work perfectly!). But that may just be me being picky - it may not bother others.
The wobbly-ness is because the camera is soft-mounted to the drone not because of the tune. They over did it though so in-camera it can appear that you are not tracking straight when you are perfectly locked.
I'm not sure it's the gimbal, actually. In the footage I have, the props are in the view and they're locked tight against the sides of the image. The wiggling of the world seems to be going on behind them. And many of the bobbles are too slow to be the gimbal anyway. I think it just needs some adjustment of the PIDs. It's not like the drone is built bad either - it's actually a good quality build IMO. It's got a nice stiff airframe and nice lightweight good quality props. I think it just needs a good PID tune, to be honest....
It's not that dji doesn't want you to fly in manual mode they just want you to be damn sure you want manual mode it's so you can't accidentally enter manual mode by mistake because if you havnt trained on a flight sim then putting it in manual mode will most likely destroy your fpv drone.
The price of a spare battery is horrific...lol. I also think no gimbal on the roll axis is a mistake DJI...An option to lock the roll axis for doing aerobatics and unlock for Cinematic.....🤔😳😳😳🇬🇧
Hard to know who DJI are aiming this Drone at...?....It seems a bit scary for an absolute noob, and for a real skilled quad pilot, dissapointing in terms of performance...I predict slack sales on this product IMO...🤔😳😳😯🇬🇧
watching recordings from this drone is very boring. It is slow-maneuverable. In flight, it behaves like a brick. It was only because of your skill that I watched the movies to the end. This drone is for rich kids and maybe for expensive smashing.

Thanks for another great educational video!
Hi mate, I didn’t pickup where in your video you talk about live audio, can you point me pls?
Thank you, Andy. As usual, you cover the bits that everyone else forgets or ignors.
How do you record sound?
I bought two of them...it was an incredibly painful setup process and I consider myself a DJI experiencer. They really are locking it down to a software ecosystem. The Tesla of the Air.
Excellent video thank you for explaining the Settings you did it in great detail
I love this drone, got mine 2 weeks ago.
I could have done with this video just over a month ago. Was frustrating to get set up as some small detail wasn't disclosed. Amazing to fly.
Thanks Andy, you did a remarkable overview and covered a lot of items some reviewers have overlooked or skipped over. This DJI hybrid has more to it than just RTF out of the box, I appreciate your coverage.

Pretty amazing flying and review, Andy! 😃
Beautiful footage!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hello Andy excellent video this was playing with the new fpv dji, it's easy for you 👍👌🤗
thanks for the video. Im a beginner and trying to change my aspect ratio, but when I toggle to the transmission menu Im not able to scroll down to the selections. Any ideas? thanks
When the bat is in charge, the most will be first priority to charge first in sequence.
Thanks couldn’t figure out the audio situation!!
Can someone show me how to record sound with the DJI drone pleade.
What size motors does this have? Would these be similar to something like a 2207?
I think its more like 2306 1600kv
what about the rates?
great review and breakdown of the Settings. Cheers 🍻
Wait what was the name of the battery for the goggles you mentioned?
my dji fpv not recording sound.... help me plss
Hi to all , Andy thank you for your video so please i need to know if dji google 2 have audio output in real time from for example caddx polar vista kit , Can I also listen to the audio coming from the caddx view while flying? in real time ?thank you in advance for reply

live audio transmission is only with the dji drone?
Great video, thanks Andy! I hope in a future video you can test out some of the range! Thanks again!

The sound is from the drone itself or do you put a cam
on it?
I was annoyed it only came with 1 x USB-C charging cable. So can only do the remote then the goggles battery.
Image Roll Correction probably compensates for rolling shutter

Of course not. DJI makes you buy everything all over again. Goggles, controller, batteries, chargers, cables... in with the new and out with the old into the garbage bin.
Hey Andy, I see the electronic drums. What drummer(s) do you like to listen to?
I like joey jordison travis barker abe cunningham to name a few

Image looks good just don't think the stabilization is great. It's not going to replace a GoPro yet I think.
Does the drone send sound back to the goggles?
It does yes
yeah .. i got a goggle ding ! no idea where from !
I'm looking forward to see when you gonna smash it😁👍
Oh no, he did not "refresh" DJI care! 😬

No tree dives with this one huh Andy?lol
Not on the first flight.. or the second or third haha
Flight footage looks like it's hauling a lot of mass around with not much power and quite a loose tune. If it brings people into the hobby then great.
It's not that dji doesn't want you to fly in manual mode they just want you to be damn sure you want manual mode it's so you can't accidentally enter manual mode by mistake because if you havnt trained on a flight sim then putting it in manual mode will most likely destroy your fpv drone.
The price of a spare battery is horrific...lol.
I also think no gimbal on the roll axis is a mistake DJI...An option to lock the roll axis for doing aerobatics and unlock for Cinematic.....🤔😳😳😳🇬🇧
I reckon your a pint half full kinda guy
Just like FPV, only worse. As a rule of thumb products that you need to activate are not really yours, you can only fly on DJI's discretion.
Not really just hack it
Yes, can be a long process 🤪🤪🤪
Also be careful not to expose goggle lenses to the sun. The sun can burn into the lenses.
ANYWAYS seems to have come from America. “anyway” is an adverb and it is impossible for adverbs to be plural.
Cheers M8 ¶ ;-)--~
Lots of altitude before trying a flip or roll :)
Hard to know who DJI are aiming this Drone at...?....It seems a bit scary for an absolute noob, and for a real skilled quad pilot, dissapointing in terms of performance...I predict slack sales on this product IMO...🤔😳😳😯🇬🇧
FIRST!
second
nice quad, i guess the only problem it will get boring.
The fact that you need to activate (which is really just registering) the GOGGLES.... is just depressing.
You need to activate all DJI gear including Vistas & Goggles. Nothing new.
watching recordings from this drone is very boring. It is slow-maneuverable. In flight, it behaves like a brick. It was only because of your skill that I watched the movies to the end. This drone is for rich kids and maybe for expensive smashing.
Poor
I dont like him
