Hahaha ok I’m getting ripped apart at my stupid method of spinning the drone around. A lot of great commenters are telling me that you can tilt your wrist from side to side to spin around. Thanks for the heads up everyone!
It's a very common misconception it seems, rotating your wrist in a yawing motion initially feels more natural, but you'll definitely notice a problem pretty quickly
Ironically you were tilting your wrist a bit in a couple situations and I could tell the turn of the drone was much more fluid than the rigid yaw effect present with just rotating your wrist/body.
And rightly so. Have none of you pro drone flyers ever flown an aircraft or flighr sim? All of you look super awkward flying with the motion controller, like stick figures...
I could never master using both thumbs to fly fpv. With this motion controller, I was flying, banking and moving between trees 10ft off the ground on my second flight. Love it!
Yes you would. And you just never feel experience unless you and machine act as 1. You cannot get full range of directi9nal control with controller. I've seen people fly with 2 big toes, no arms. Facts.
Hey Billy I believe you’re wrong about how to do the spin or at least not the most efficient way, so you just twist the controller horizontally to rotate on its axis. Great video Billy once again! See you in the air.
I started flying RC with helicopters, beginning with coaxial, transitioning to fixed pitch, then graduating to collective pitch. Been flying for a few years. In the past year, I switched over to drones, specifically into the Mavic lineup, with the mini and now the MA2, which I love. But I miss the experience of being fully in control and having to rely on your skill alone to fly, as you have to with helicopters. I see myself getting into flying FPV and using the motion controller in the future. You’re really starting to sell me on this machine and the controller. It appears you get to experience that in-control piloting feel, that I crave. Thanks for the informative video. They’re really great!
So glad I added the motion controller when I ordered my FPV drone! I might be seeing more features being included in the motion controller in the future!
After watching your video, I like the motion controller so much that might be the only way I fly the FPV drone. Another great tutorial on the new DJI FPV drone. Looking forward to seeing you fly it in person in Florida.
hey billy , i just wanted you to know that everytime a new drone comes out i always suggest your videos to alot of my rc friends. i only got the mini of a friend after seeing your impression video. altho where im from drones are almost 3 times the price but i just love taking sick pics and videos and all the grinding feels worth it after viewing what i captured. i hope to save up and get one of these fpv drones.. seen so many sick videos! but with the current financial problems i have and because of the crazy prices here in my country this video you just made makes me eager to wait and save up. love the content, love the editing, the information but the main star of your videos is you. keep making amazing videos! thanks billy!
Purchased this drone combo as my first drone ever. Have 2 quick flights in with it. Going to try out the motion controller today for the first time. Wish me well! Awesome content, I subscribed!
Nobody really understands the magnitude of this technology! I lost my arm a while back. Flying any drone was excruciating to do or watch with one arm. You are not really flying you are basically moving a rock with a small stick that is the equivalent to flying with one arm. Here comes DJI MOTION CONTROLLER and now I’m dancing like Michael Jackson instead of a nerd. This thing is a god sent, and when they release a firmware for the AIR 2S so it will work with goggles and motion controller I’ll be buying that drone next. The MAVIC PRO 2 is rumored to be compatible as well. DJI JUST SOLD ME 3 DRONES with this one simple controller
A buddy of mine just flew his with the handheld for the first time and he was flying like he'd been using it for months. The three of us have Mavics, Inspires, an Evo 2 and Typhoons and smaller FPV Drones. This is an amazing device. I'm considering this. Great video Billy
Sure beats the heck out of the Flyability Aviator I purchased a few years back. Another notch in DJI's belt with giving us a more immersive experience. Great content as always Billy!
Billy my brother!! We are the Drone Squad if the motion control losses signal the only thing it’s going to happen is the drone will return to home, over all the motion control of DJI makes a Lots easy to fly this Drone. Love your channel Billy and you know ( WE ARE THE DRONE SQUAD)Peace brother ✌️👍🏻✌️
@@mattiler7698 the Skydio 2 is probably the most advanced drone, but DJI has the best range of drones, Mini 2, Air 2, Mavic 2 pro, and now this FPV drone. No one comes close when it comes to marketing strategies.
Well I am a DJI owner i have the mavic air 2 and it is very nice but the tracking and Optical avoidance is by far superior the only thing dji is better at is the range on how far it can fly away from you. Plus skydio is cheaper
A couple things: you didn’t mention the circle in the display that is your target for where you want to go. Also, the limitation of the motion controller is that you can’t back up or fly sideways. If they ever make a GEN two motion controller, that does these things I will buy it immediately.
The motion controller looks really fun and more simple to fly with than normal controller. I imagine the motion controller is a giant antenna if you were to break it down to see the internals perhaps that's what you'll find.
going through thatlong process to turn it around seems not needed, why not just accelerate forward then turn the drone to do a circle. like why take 20 extra steps to do a simple motion.
Have to say from someone who has always wanted to fly fpv I bought this when i purchased the combo.. flew a few times and still have yet to use the controller.
I’ve got to ask, how can someone wear full goggles as a Part 107 pilot while keeping visual line of sight? The rule is pretty specific about keeping the aircraft in view with the naked eye?
👍👍👍✔✔ This drone is something totally incredible, a beautiful piece of equipment with the latest technology, which certainly makes drone piloting something totally innovative, different and sensational. I, with my Mini2, for sure can't even imagine what it's like to fly one of these. Thanks for the video my friend.
Personally I think this controller is WAY more precise. I can do so much more on this controller than on traditional controllers. It's great for confined spaces and in open range. I can rip this little drone insainly hard using this motion controller. Seriously, I can not believe the maneuvers I am able to do with this controller.
Like flying a helicopter using the cyclic. Great control. Very intuitive. That is my oppression. To me much better than the controller when flying FPV for sure. Love the concept.
Great video and appreciate the feedback. One question though did you find that the props were constantly in shot or can you pitch the camera to keep them out of shot?
Nice natural intuitive feel it seems, but latency is problematic. It would be nice if you didn’t have to rotate the controller to the side, break, reset, rotate again to the side to complete a 180 degree. The drone could continue turning if you hold the controller to the side, then bringing the controller forward to stop turning. A range antenna would seem give a better connection.
That was very cool 😎 I got it all at once, but haven't used it yet, haven't even flown my fpv yet but I will tomorrow supposed to be a very nice day to go flying. Thanks for the info Billy 👍good as always.
Hi Billy. Could you please make a video about calibration of the motion controller 🙏 I have tried a number of times and it seems pretty simple, but I keep getting an calibration failed message. Great videos by the way, keep up the good work 👍
I just bought an Avata. My motion controller doesn't let me twist it to turn it and also doesn't seem to track if I spin around. Do you think this is a bad motion controller? Is this something that is exclusive to the FPV drone?
I think with Manual mode, you have to do that through the google menu, same as the controller from what I've read. Safety precaution so u dont accidently select it.
Hi Billy I enjoy all your videos very informative. I saw another video covering a motion controller and the person who is doing the video said that the motion controller somehow connected to the goggles which then connected to the Drone giving you the full 10 kilometers. Is that possible?
DJI says the motion controller has O3 Transmission which has a range of 10KM (6 miles) and automatically switches between 2.4 and 5.8ghz automatically.
Hey Fellow drone brothers when is the get together in Fl ? I believe in Melbourne And if so what are the time and dates ? I would love to meet Billy and some of the others ...
My only comment to this is that it's not the dual-stick and that's the point. Use the flight stick like you are supposed to and not keep comparing it to the dual sticks. Fly it like a plane, not a drone. cheers!
so its basically just a small little yoke. honestly maybe connect it to a longer pole kind of like a flight sim and the amount of control you could have would be amazing. also looks like a ton of fun
I'm assuming people aren't using the motion controller for for full across 😂 what would happen if you dropped the controller would the drone go mad or has dji out in a feature that it would detect the erratic movement and the drone would brake and hover
Obviously doesn't VR (virtual reality); just physically turn your entire body around to turn around on a dime. Someone should really get one of these FPV drones working with an Oculus Quest (maybe some sort of accessory to boost TX). The Quest has a good display, head tracking, motion controllers, and controller-less finger tracking, so could do some interesting control schemes with it (it's also an all around better headset display for like $300).
The motion controller have its flaws - 1. There is no vertical lift without acceleration forward which is a big flaw 2. The human hands moves are friction free and if you accidentally drops down your hand subconsciously while talking to someone or scratching- you will shake the drone so have to put a break every time. Friction of joystick or even motion control installed in something offers slight opposite force that helps your brain detect exactly how much to tilt, but with free hand control that doesn’t apply and you have to learn new adjustments 3. There is no reverse pull option- to reverse you have to turn the drone camera angle in that direction, basically drone always go forward with motion controller. 4. No manual mode - you can only use motion controller in normal or sport - I may be wrong here but feel free to correct if that is the case. These flaws makes remote control a better option than motion controller, at least for now until dji fixes them
Lol you don’t need to do the whole break button, turn, break, turn break.. that’s just silly... what you actually do is turn your wrist 90* like you’re a gangster holding a gun. Then the drone will turn on the axis left or right.. simple, no need for the break & turn lol
I’ve been watching drone videos for awhile. My question is can fly any drone with one hand. I suffered a stroke where it affected my right side. If the answer is no it’s okay. I will continue to watch drone videos. So please be honest with me. Thank You Jose’
it is good, but i think for turning left and right they should have given circular button rather than turning hands inwards , stopping and again inwards. Can you turn left without stopping.
so the idea of this whole new remote is to emulate vr. I think DJI people intended for you to turn around yourself. Are your feet stuck to the floor? No offense intended, it just seems so obvious when you see it. Great vid and review nevertheless.
do you have full telemetry inside the goggles, like altitude? Is there a dot or cross hair inside the goggles.. would you use the motion controller for like doing a home walkthru?

my dudes, rtfm. even nurk did this too.
Tilt your wrist side to side and it will rotate 360
Thanks for the heads up!
That's me when I was still feeling my way around the FPV motion controller!
My guess the remote controller is using the goggles for antena.
I could never master using both thumbs to fly fpv. With this motion controller, I was flying, banking and moving between trees 10ft off the ground on my second flight. Love it!
Yes you would. And you just never feel experience unless you and machine act as 1. You cannot get full range of directi9nal control with controller. I've seen people fly with 2 big toes, no arms. Facts.

what about lack of M acro mode in this motion controller? will they eventually add it?
Say you're not flying in manual, would you prefer that or the remote?
Two very different styles of flying. I think I would prefer the regular remote.
This is one of the best controller i have ever saw thanks for the review.

Awesome content, I subscribed!
You had me when you went underneath the bridge I was like ohhh crap and holding my breath !!!
This is awesome. We see what the drone see.
wow. must be an amazing experience. it really looks like flying a plane with a stick.
That is the idea, but all the idiot pro reviewers turn around like stick figures.
That thing looks real easy to handle

I swear you did not just say “inspires” with a S as in plural
@@LucasSun-rq5nd Yes, plural. I don't own an Inspire but both guys I fly with do.

DJI are years ahead of any other drone company. Marketing masters.
No there not they are 2. Skydio 2 is the top dog now

wow good job, just watched this video, going out to try mine right now and this video is very very helpful, thanks man
Is wearing glasses a problem with the goggles
You'll be fine as long as they're not big and bulky. I wear glasses with them all the time.
No elton john glasses
@@haroldyazzie3538 Exactly, lol👍
Yeah, it depends

No ..."assume" this is pure SCAM !!!..... Just an observation... You're poorly broken English gives it away... Amongst other things... LoL 😂😂😂😂😂
Another great job bro! Keep em coming Billy!
Thanks Matt!
have to admit love your style of giving info keep it up
Great video bill 👍 congratulations on 100,000 subscribers a little bit early but congrats anyway 👏👏

hey, cool it’s really helpful to understand how it works. Btw, is it possible to connect such a device to any drones?
great for somebody not capable to work with 2 sticks♿️♿️nice one hand use and flying
Like flying a helicopter using the cyclic. Great control. Very intuitive. That is my oppression. To me much better than the controller when flying FPV for sure. Love the concept.
Very fast tutorial man! 😁
Great video and appreciate the feedback. One question though did you find that the props were constantly in shot or can you pitch the camera to keep them out of shot?
Another reviewer said you will see the props in frame until you speed up causing the drone to pitch forward.

Like#99 WOW now that looks like fun!!!! Thx Billy
Mikey
Love it
Using the motion controller, are you able to do flips with the drone? Or is that only the two-handed standard controller?
That was awesome Billy! It will be interesting to see how DJI refines that motion controller concept.
Thanks Marcus!
I was this remote was compatible with the Mavic two or mavic line of drones 😭
I was just about to add that when I seen video I was just tilt your hand but good figured it out
so cool! thx🙏
4:48.... So basically I'd have to be a professional gymnast if I wanna fly acro on this thing?
Hi Billy.
Could you please make a video about calibration of the motion controller 🙏
I have tried a number of times and it seems pretty simple, but I keep getting an calibration failed message.
Great videos by the way, keep up the good work 👍
i would love to see this gizmo being strap to some ball head tripod and use it as regular joystick. i think you gain more precision this way..
Awesome Job!!! I'm ordering one! Thanx
I assume this wont work on any non dji product
I'm sold. I thought the controller would be confusing but it looks pretty simple to use.
I just bought an Avata. My motion controller doesn't let me twist it to turn it and also doesn't seem to track if I spin around. Do you think this is a bad motion controller? Is this something that is exclusive to the FPV drone?
Very helpful , thanks! Is this compatible with the new DJI Air 2S ? What about the new FPV googles and the DJI Air 2S
This is just totally awesome, I never thought I would live to see tech like this, I’m going to start saving
Thank you Billy. Do you think they will enable M mode for this motion controller eventually? It looks strange not to have it there?
I think with Manual mode, you have to do that through the google menu, same as the controller from what I've read. Safety precaution so u dont accidently select it.
How do you keep the propellers out of the picture?

"Use the brake button the reposition yourself"
I was wondering just about that one.
MAN, that was a good trick! Thanks for sharing 👍
Very cool video, its scary fast, I would crash it in 5 minutes!
😂
The 4 antennas sticking off your face are what communicate with the drone. The controller only has to talk to your goggles.
Hey Bro, you can just tilt your wrist to turn around, geeze dude!.......HAHAHA,,,JK.. Don't you hate it when people don't read the previous comments!
Great review Billy, my FPV combo as well as motion controller arrived today, still unopened. Looking forward to our omelet up in Florida.

Battery life seems very short.
Its probably way cooler if you fully stretch your arm out and hold it like Gandalf's magic staff. Like you're doing wizardry. Because you kinda are.
4:23 by then I would have literally electrocuted my drone!
Fun fact: make the motors on this thing less silent, and I'd be robbing banks by now.
Love the turning method! I would’ve made the same mistake if I hadn’t seen the correct way to do it on another channel.
Bro this is my complex lol man are you still here I’m def tryna buy a fpv rn what u recommend
Let’s talk so fast, we make sure we confuse people. But this video is only for those who already understand this product……right……
I probably wouldn’t make a instruction/review video unless I actually knew how to demonstrate the product. Hence your turn around method
it is good, but i think for turning left and right they should have given circular button rather than turning hands inwards , stopping and again inwards. Can you turn left without stopping.
so the idea of this whole new remote is to emulate vr. I think DJI people intended for you to turn around yourself. Are your feet stuck to the floor? No offense intended, it just seems so obvious when you see it. Great vid and review nevertheless.
do you have full telemetry inside the goggles, like altitude? Is there a dot or cross hair inside the goggles.. would you use the motion controller for like doing a home walkthru?
Relatively new to DJI but how to i charge the motion controller, i know it may be a dumb question but seriously cant figure it out
