I was MAD excited when DJI released the new FPV drone! I've been flying regular drones for many years so I thought it was gonna be pretty straight forward... until it wasn't. Watch, as the wild DJI fangirl gets put in her place when she realises how much there is to learn when it comes to FPV drone flying. Hellava fun drone to fly though. So excited to fly more and get better and better footage with it!
Thanks so much to @MaiOnHigh for teaching me your ways and being so patient with me. Check out her channel for more FPV drone racing: / maionhigh
Thank you also to Chris for teaching me and dealing with my frustrations when I can't fly the gosh damn simulator properly. Go follow him for more FPV footage on instagram: @chris1ton

Damn! You did a lot of progress!
Thanks again for having me and have fun with FPV!
Thank you Lexie for all your help! Even the simulator last night I was doing stuff I never thought I’d do!
@@CurrentlyHannah And that's just the beginning! I'm sure you will totally smash it and have a ton of fun! (uh dive the waterfall!)
🤔 it’s easy right
You sure make it seem that way.
Ngl it’s way easier when the drone isn’t smart .
Da floppy flips
LOL don't ever change Mr Steele
i think dji fpv is dumb for beginners, realy when you think, when you are learning fpv, dji dont have anythink beginner really needs, it could seems like those features is cool for beginners but 99% of times in practice it useless.. . the price and fragility ratio is outrageous. fixing price cost u about 2-10 regular beginners drones that have pretty mutch same performance/handling or better.
besides landing on its own, i gess there no feature beginers realy benefits, especially for the price.
for first drone i got tyro79 for 80$ that with better battery outperforms dji fpv and i still have it, crashed many times, so to learn fpv it did cost me around 80$, no soldering, no fixing, no hastle, get out of the box and fly.
I love when you explain things, you seem always so kind and logic and relatable but never boring. It's a skill. And your film making is amazing too. I can see how you have continuously put in the effort over the years. Excited where all this is going 😊
Thanks Danny! That’s really kind of you to say!
Lexie you're a blessing! I was able to incorporate your tips when flying the FPV! Somehow, I feel that I've got more control of my drone now! This FPV drone is really something, the more I fly it the more I want to get better at it!
Your music selection is off the charts. It hits all the required feeling nodes.
Girl more respect to you and your art.
Love your content 🤩
Ah thank you so much! I really loved the music I chose in this video so I’m glad others appreciate it too!
The HARD truth here: Technically, for 5 years, you have mastered the art of flying the autopilot. Congratulations on your progress!
Couldn't have put it better myself.
I'm a regular camera drone guy but if I'd ever want to try flying FPV, I'd go for that drone you're using!
I would really suggest building an fpv quadcopter, they withstand crashes like a tank, unlike the dji fpv drone. You will save a ton of money and learn properly. Not for the faint of heart though.
Well it depends, if you want to just try FPV, the DJi drone is great, now if you want to get really good at it, you'll have to push yourself and crash - and for that you'll need a DIY drone - the DJI drone is made to break so you pay for the DJI care every year.
Not trying to be disrespectful but I hate how people call these stabilized drones (regular drones)
it all started with guys in their garages building multi rotors from Wii controllers. they weren't stabilized, they didn't have return to home, no save me button.
these are regular drones, as they came first.
after that came all of the manufacturers that started putting all of the things that make a multi rotor basically fly themselves.
they should be called handicap drones instead of regular drones.
just my opinion. 🤔
That bit where you crashed on the finish gate was very funny, yes, thanks for that (you speed demon you) 😂
Once again, fabulous taste choosing the music for both your footage and @chris1ton's (+ masterful editing) 👏.
That's what I like about the DJI FPV. I know from experience that learning to fly in manual mode takes a lot of practice. But even if your skills are not there yet, you can still obtain decent FPV shots through flying in N or S mode!
Exactly, I am an experienced FPV pilot. Tried the DJI Drone in Manual mode and was really not impressed... The controller isn't precise enough, the drone doesn't fly nearly as good as my other FPV drones, the footage doesn't look as good, even the fly time wasn't that much better than my 6inch with a big battery. THEN i fly the DJI drone in sport mode and it felt like a much better machine, better tuned, better balanced, footage looks more stable in sports mode too... This is just the way this thing has been designed.
I definitely didn’t expect “DJI Fangirl” to be in the final title after all that deliberation 😂
Hahah neither did I tbh

i like drones and when i brought it some one stoled it.....damn now agian 1 year of hardwork need
@@AmjadKhan-cm5sm a man stole it, blame men!
the best thing to do is practise bank turns, and emergency stops (manually) the bank turns will slowly hook up the hand eye coordination, you will find you go exactly where you want to go without thinking and the emergency stops will get you used to really messy visuals that you recover from. ps. flying slowly with a fast quad is a whole other skillset, super fun and great images to be had from mixing ultra slow through trees or whatever and then opening up to a big scene. my only real tip for going slow is use the throttle to go down and the pitch to go up, and don't freak out when you clip a branch or are forced to chop some small branches.
Hey, you have a new subscriber, from
MaiOnHigh! You rock!
Currently Hannah's hamsta is my favourite Youtuba.
This video makes me happy. I have been following you and Lexie for a while now. Awesome to see you two got a chance to work together ❤️
SHOZUMI!
Brilliant man! Glad u joined the FPV family. This comments a year too late tho!!! I saw ur mount fuji trip! Nice one!!
Lexie is greeeeeeat! Slowing down made such a huge impact for accuracy :)
Hannah, your music choice while doing your first flight was epic. It had my heart racing and me holding my breath. Fantastic video quality, too!
I remember 6 years ago my first build and flight of my new quad I was so hard to fly it then couple of flights something just clicked and I got hooked now it’s like nothing have fun never give up and stay fly stay high y’all get there it’s all about stick time
Awesome! Keep up the progress. Looking forward to nice fpv footage from u!
Awwww Mochi turnin' into a little ham chonk! 🐹 Thanks for giving us what we want lol. Also it makes a difference going back to listen to the voiceover, knowing now that you were laughing trying to get it done. 😂🤣
Hahaha Mochi is definitely getting some chonk on her 😍
Also yes, that was the hardest voice over to complete! I couldn’t stop 😂
@@CurrentlyHannah you guys are so much fun!! Thanks for brightening up my day. 🙂🤣
Congratulations on 300k Hannah! Always love the videos!
Great job! That's some solid progress and you'll continue to improve. I'm jealous of your setup, it sounds really fun. Had no idea the DJI came with a simulator as well.
great honest video. Thanks for showing your beginners journey to FPV and manual mode. I plan on getting one soon and this helps a lot.
And here I am still talking myself into getting my first real drone! Inspirational as always, thankyou!
Magnificent landscape and you made tremendous progress! I hope to embark on this treacherous journey of learning FPV soon too. Blessings from Jamaica🤗💪🏿🇯🇲
I can confirm that Australian RUclipsr hosted travel shows, only available in Australia, are the best.
The quality of your videos increases every time. It’s always nice to see your adventures :)
Thanks John, that means a lot!
@@CurrentlyHannah My pleasure! You’re doing great, keep enjoying what you’re doing!
Woo hoo! Love seeing your progression with your drone shots! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Very interesting to hear about your FPV journey. You can buy a micro whoop quadcopter with Acro mode for about $100. And they're close to indestructable. You could practise Acro flying with one of them and not worry too much about crashing. After a period of time practising with the whoop and the simulator, you could go back to flying the $2000 DJI bird in Acro mode and worry less about crashing it.
Underrated comment
FPV looks really hard! But super glad that you're learning it! Excited for whats to come!
Damm...you finally did it...i tried with sim early 2019 and after feeling dizzy for couple of times..i quit..but after watching this...maybe i'm inspired to get the pinching started again
Nicely done - gives me confidence as I start getting into FPV! Liked and subscribed!
I bought an air 2s been flying it for about two weeks.
Brother brought over his DJI fpv. Flew it once and fell in love. Very easy to fly in all three modes. Of course flying around obstacles takes some practice but still pretty easy to get the hang of
I've walked the kiyotaki trail so many times the moment i saw the shots you shot there i recognized it like 1 mili-second in haha. great shots though! good luck with it :D
Great video!
Just keep making such beautiful videos!
Great video and funny too! Hope you stick with FPV because its so rewarding once the controls start to feel natural to you and you can hit tiny gaps all day long. I found with me, the first approx 10hrs on the sim my flying was complete garbage but just persisting with about an hour of practice a day all of a sudden it just clicks into place and your fingers work the controls without you really having to think about it anymore. Basically you build that muscle memory, it just takes time for your brain to learn it automatically.
Look forward to some cool FPV edits in the future!
This is beautiful, love FPV! Keep up the great content.🚀
Epic first flight! Your drone shots have always been amazing, just going to be even better now. Great music and editing in this one as always.
Happy you are dipping your toe into the FPV pilotry.
Forgive my right brain from making associations & connections, but I think everyone’s nudge into simulation training before making IRL flights illustrates the benefits of Pomodoro Work intervals: although one could just plow through nonstop, there’s probably utility in 25 minutes locked on & 5 minute breaks for 4 work intervals then taking an extended break. My 1st exposure to the method was in working through Kimon Nicolaïdes’ The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study. There the work/rest reset intervals where broken up with gesture/contour/memory & related modeling study drawings. There is also the use of the same in writing as seen in the numerous NaNoWriMo & CampNaNoWriMo virtual write-ins. I’m not sure how, but I have illusions that the same can be applied to video editing.
Pretty awesome! I remember it taking me forever to figure out how to do a simple turn, haha
Flying FPV is way too addicting
Nice flying! It’s always amazing to spend some time with you.
practice makes man perfect ❤️
Woah, I didn't know those kind of drones even were a thing, they look like a lot of fun!
And they produce quite some amazing footage. Also great work on your progress there!
Hahahaha I love the title you decided on. This was fun to watch! I've been learning more about FPV and excited to see you use it more :)
FPV is sooo much fun..Thank you for sharing your first steps!..There are plenty of cheaper options for beginner to try...look for RTF(ready to fly) fpv bundles.. Emax tinyhawk or Geprc tinygo..DJI is good though if you can afford it!
THIS IS SO INTERESTING! yelled by geeky me! I'm not very familiar with drone related topics... Cought my attention 100%!!! // Your videograpghy and sotrytelling is really inspiring, thx for all the effort you make to improve !
hahaha meant: storytelling :P
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’re killing it😎🙌🏻
Wonderful video. Great to see your confidence!
Just got this drone and I'm training to fly it properly lmao , excellent content
that's awesome you are getting into FPV👍🔥
That was an awesome ride! Love seeing people learn rate mode, it's a completely different world from angle mode but your progress was phenomenal!!!!! It's such a difficult move because you basically have to unlearn everything you know about angle mode and it makes it very difficult :) congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love FPV content! I'm planning to try and get out there and film some myself once COVID is over. Until then, I'm spending many hours in the sim.
it´s funny the way it works. For some of us, the "regular drones" are the FPV ones, and the other ones ares just cammeras with fly stabilization.
Hahah yes I could imagine 😂 it’s so cool to see all the cool things drones are letting us do!
FPV manual mode is super different than flying a drone like the Mavic Air 2. Practicing on the simulator will help for sure, I started learning on a tiny hawk and flew inside a lot until I got the hang of it! I absolutely love FPV & I know that you will get better at it and fall in love 😍❤️🤙
Practice creates masters. I love flying FPV. Go ahead and practice more. You will have alot of Fun and a great Community;)
Welcome to FPV! Great 1st flight.
Congratulations on 300K!
absolutely awesome!
I believe that as a beginner you should fly FPV (ACRO mode) for the first time with a 65 - 85 tiny whoop. Because these are much cheaper, easier to repair yourself and less dangerous. But who has money without end and the safety is not so important yes then DJI FPV. If I'm not mistaken, the DJI FPV has 950 g. So for this you need at least in the EU even the large drone license. From 2024: 250 - 900 g small drone license. From 900 g large drone license.
When you have fun playing FPV successfully, although I didn't play it, I was very happy too. . . Haha
Inspiring stuff Hannah, I've been flying a Mavic Air 2 for a year and i got the DJI fpv on release and I'm really struggling with manual but I'll keep plugging away until I get there, great first manual flight 👍
Got my FPV too! Still too chicken to try full manual mode in the real world… 😂 that other simulator looks useful for different practice training!! Thanks for the great video! :) Really really need a big open field!!
Ahh I know the feeling well but trust me, if I can do it then so can you!
@@CurrentlyHannah we’re putting together our DJI FPV video right now, unfortunately the weather and COVID situation has been kinda bad here in Papua New Guinea recently which has prevented ability to go to somewhere isolated enough to really put the FPV through its paces! But I guess it’s just more time available for simulator training! :) simulator with touch controls in manual mode is a bit of a disheartening experience 😂 instant crash!
Yeah it’s super disheartening but don’t give up! You can absolutely do it!
I’d definitely say you are an excellent cinematic drone pilot. You are a great inspiration to me. I just started flying this year. Got myself the Mini 2.
Also yes that simulator is quite tough, especially when you try to control it just with the phone screen.
Thanks Sam :)
Good to see this getting some mainstream popularity. I have been with FPV drone flying from then it used to get amazement from people to the point in which it generated fear in people after years of that I decided to stop for a while for the negative hype died down a bit. Looks like it's time for me to get back into it.
Also crashing these are is quite normal even for experienced pilots. Sometimes you just have to learn to not think about the amount of cash you will lose by crashing it. Like on my FPV channel I have videos of me crashing mine trashing, go pros and I think I even got a video of a crash which snapped my FPV drone in half
Haha yeah I’ve heard that crashing is all apart of the experience! I’d like to refrain from crashing for as long as I can though 😂
oh that's cool! I have been in FPV since 2015 :D And yeah we got some bad advertisement during this time, but I am also happy to see it hetting more mainstream now :D
@@MaiOnHigh Yeah I hope it's a bit better I started around 2015 as well but I haven't flown in about a year and a half now. I think I was halfway through building a drone using your frame and I was thinking about how I could make it more rigid when I stopped. haha maybe I should finish that.
@@CurrentlyHannah Yeah, It is I have probably broken about AUD$3000 worth of drone parts at this point and gone through about AUD$4000 of batteries. You're doing better when I started on my first flight I broke 4 motors and 2 speed controllers and broke 2 arms. haha
Bro this was a great video ✨👍🏽
It's hard because the rates are too high, and there's no way to change it on the simulator.
I started practicing on the DRL sim, and it was so much better. With a few hours of practice, I was flying acro and doing freestyle tricks. The DRL sim has a good tutorial.
Oof, that fpv footage looks so exciting. I swear I leant back in my chair a bit on the dive. After seeing Potato Jet make the switch to FPV from DJI I know it takes obsessive practice to get to a point where you're a natural. Such speed. It looks like it's going to drink video bitrate to get it looking super smooth, though. I'd be surprised if you don't need to upload the full 200mbps at 4k just to get it looking clean on youtube going full speed.
Great Real Person review. Did u think about the Analogue $500 type complete kits or did u just think jump right in. I can’t decide?? Love the digital & tech.
Need to learn split s and cordinated turn for cinematic next level
Earlier I watched for the cool Japancontent, now I am here for the hamstercontent! :D
Lol, just joking. I love all your content! :)
Good jobb using the sim to practice before you get up in the air with the drone i manuel mode.
Could see that it help you alot from the first clip with the sim ;) keep working and you will be doing some great filming with it :)
This was very cool!
Fantastic footage
Get the book by Christian Mollica (VespulaFPV).
So awesome Hannah...great job! Your videos are my favorites and I'm sure this new drone will be an amazing "tool" for you. Have fun...
I would just suggest that you buy a ready to fly carbon fiber 5 inch drone to practice and learn on they are next to indestructible when compared to the drone you have. Good luck on this exciting journey
Actually sport mode consider insanely good for drone pilot who try to approach DJI FPV
Good job, Hannah! 👍 Great progress and documenting skills! You'll be flying a real 😉 FPV drone soon enough!
f yea hannah, for your first time in manual mode that was banging. smart girl for doing all that research and training first, 2 grand is alot of dough. most deserving thing i see is the happiness and fun you seem to be having with chris.
Ah so kind Kurt! I’m glad that the simulator is included or else I don’t think I’d ever get to fly it in manual mode haha
Round of applause!!! 👏👏👏
you get pretty good after 150h
just keep doing it
The years of experience flying a drone in gps or sports mode doesn’t matter when learning to fly in manual mode. Those who wants to fly in manual mode need about 5 to 10 hours of simulator time just to be able to not flip on takeoff and be able to somewhat control the flight direction and speed without crashing. After 100 hours of simulator most people can be quite good at flying near obstacles, go through gaps at high speed and do flips and rolls.
I just bought the arm braces for mine ...to help prevent trashing it so easily 😱😎
You should trying holding the stick using your fingers and thumbs instead of just your thumbs for more control :)
Brilliant video 👍 now you know why we do what we do!!
GPS Camera drone people calling themselves drone experts🙄, nothing like manual mode to keep people humble. Aweseom you got some pro feedback. Lexi is awesome and great you're making progress! Keep practicing. I have 40hrs of sim work under my belt and i'm still barely scratching the surface.
ooooh!
How cool is it they supply you with a AR training program! The training simulator looks as though you’re playing croquet. Now because of that I’d like to see a real course laid out for you to try flying your drone through it. Not a small one, but obstacles large enough for three drones to fit in at a time. That number you keep repeating, I’m guessing was the price you paid for your drone? It seems like you put out into the universe, that you desperately needed help flying and an instructor was provided! Just curious to know, what country she was located in? The footage you take over the vehicle your traveling in is always stunning to watch. It seems like you’re driving two machines. Which is quite impressive! You’re well on your way to mastering your new drone. Congrats! 👍🏼
Love your Nike sweater 👌🏻
The drone shots are SO fast it makes me feel like I'm gunna be sick 😅 I turned the playback speed down so I can see everything longer Edit: please don't take this as an insult! I know your still learning 💜 I get motion sickness pretty easily is all
Hahaha no it’s totally understandable, my flying isn’t very smooth yet at all haha. The goal is to not make you feel sick!
Even the pro footage they released to sell this drone made me a bit nauseous. Unexpected swoops
@@CurrentlyHannah All with time! ✨ That sport drone definitely lives up to its name
Welcome to your new addiction. Welcome to the dark side :)
I was already subbed to both you and Lexi, it's great to see the colab
Great job ... I’ve been too chicken to try out the sports mode ....
The last place where you finally mastered the manual mode in fpv, would you tell the location.The location is awesome.
Going from almost every DJI to FPV I think the simulator hurts more than helps to a certain point. Nothing compares to actually flying it and what makes the DJI fpv is that it has the “oh crap” button to instantly put you back in normal mode.
Lexie is an awesome pilot & person too:-)
I've always wondered how using VR headsets for FPV stack against the drone use laws in Japan.
www.mlit.go.jp/en/koku/uas.html
[6] Operate UA/Drones within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS).
You don't exactly have a visual line of sight if your eyes are covered?
Or as long as you have an imaginary visual line of sight? (i.e. there is no obstructions between your control device and the drone, to decrease the chance of malfunction, but covering your eyes to see from the drones POV is ok?)
Or is it OK to have a "co-pilot" maintaining the visual line of sight?
Or the "visual line of site" is somehow averted if your vision becomes the drones vision?
Yeah there’s a few rules pertaining to the use of drones that have headsets, like this FPV drone and they state that if you have a co-pilot that can keep a visual line of site and keep an eye on conditions etc then you’re all good.
My advice buy a micro practice in acromode.
Yay for the 300k
Good job!
nice experience
Welcome aboard flight CH001. You may experience turbulence 😂
