Make sure to check out part 1 of this video where I got over my top 5 favorite things about this drone! - ruclips.net/video/CfDmN-a48d4/видео.html What are your guys thoughts? Overpriced or worth the convenience?
I just bought this drone. I was SO impressed with it I went all in , extra batts, backpack. I love the anti crash tech -must have. I went out of range and it comes back until you take it over. Very impressive. Yo need to go into goggles and disable all ROLLS in the controls. This is good to just get used to it. These guys are all picky but this drone is awesome. With the goggles INCREDIBLE. Worth every penny
I agree that getting a custom built FPV drone with go pro hero 9 is the way to go, however for someone who wants to get into FPV that doesn’t want to start building, soldering and tuning their quad, and simply wants to start flying right immediately, this thing is awesome( that is me). With good lighting/proper editing software you can still get some epic shots and serves a purpose in the world of FPV.
At the end of this, I think all your good reasons far outweigh all the cons this drone might have! The fact that it can fly right away makes it a good enough reason to have one!
Dude I love this thing and its my first official real FPV drone. It is easy to fly and its perfect for those who have no experience flying drones. It has the Return to Home mode. Also has alot of safety measures like Collision avoidance. The camera gimble is easy to control with the switch. It goes 90 + plus miles an hour and it can fly in areas where you want to surveillance. It has N mode S sport mode and then M manual mode which should be full able to do acrobats and way more upgrades in the future no doubt to increase its capacity for those who become more efficient with them.
Would you recommend this for simple shots. So I'm a real estate agent and wanted a drone just to take aerial shots of properties. I dont need it for like a cinema shot
@@royalgreenlantern The Camera shoots at 1080p and I levels so its pretty good for all sorts of camera views and angles. I have yet to take pictures or video with it. I need to buy a SD card for it so I can see the level of recording quality. Just from the POV of seeing it on the Cell phone and the Googles it looks very high definition.
Are you kidding me the DJI fpv drone is the bomb and once out of box and put together with activation, I bypassed learning but I will say that I had a difficult time actually starting the engines but once I figured it out, I was flying and I fly in my house and this drone has excellent control. Hot tip do not use the race mode in tight quarters, it’s quick
@@Mcgeee if you interested in more flight time you could use lion 18650 pack on your regular fpv drone too, less punch but you will gain a lot of flight time, in my setup i go from 5 min on a fast lipo to 15min on a lion. On a long range with proper setup you could go even 20 min or more.
I don't know what to say to this video ...in my opinion completely missed items, first he complains about the quality of the camera, then he says that he prefers traditional FPV to fly .... then he complains about the flight altitude, with traditional FPV you just reach 500 meters and you can go back immediately because you no longer have battery power. these are incredibly vain comments from a man who says he works professionally, and that this drone could have a better camera ???
Ahh. yeah.. I've heard a lot of people coming from self built FPV drones (including myself) saying the same, we're ALL waiting for a DJI FPV drone with a carbon fibre frame, I think DJI would sell a lot more by doing a more "tinker friendly" drone.
If I was an enterprising FPV frame designer, I would consider making a frame that could mount the electronics of this drone. Lighter weight, higher durability, it would be a good performance upgrade, and an option for people who inevitably use up their care refresh to possibly give their busted drone a new lease on life without spending $750 for a whole new one.
you can be as far as possible from the nearest airport but you are still in the airport approach sectors or entrance gates which won't allow you to fly.
Hi there Danny. Ridge runs ARE still possible, as long as your launch is equally high or higher than your objective. Most of my videos have satellite & high-altitude drone intro sequences. (Around 1000 to 1500m a.g.l.)
It definitely breaks super easy. On my first crash, I was going like 5 miles an hour and I ran into a pool noodle, it slammed to the ground and burnt out the motor. lol BUT I send it in for repair, paid 75 and DJI sent me a whole replacement! So that was rad. So if you send yours in, pay for the repair not the replacement if you can! they will probably just send you a freshie.
My first crash I paid for a new replacement..then on the second crash, I just paid for a repair, of which they sent me one with a different serial number, so I'm guessing it was a fresh one or refurbed! Either way was a fraction of the price and I still have 1 flyaway.
It seems 99% of youtubers can't actually work out that this is NOT a DIY drone so please stop trying to compare it to one. If you don't like the area this is clearly being aimed at move along and find another way to get views on your channels instead of just jumping on the haters bandwagon.
I beg to differ here somewhat! I prefer the built-in camera on the FPV instead of the gopro. The footage is less wobbly thanks to its RockSteady EIS plus the quality of the videos are way better IMO!
Dji care refresh is ABSOLUTELY a MUST HAVE for beginners! I got it with my mini 2 (first ever drone) and have used it once already... on the very first day 😓 That hurt. But it was definitely a favorable situation to not having purchased the plan! Mine was $50, $49 to replace, would be $70 for second but that won't happen. $250 for flyaway.
So how does this thing work in regards to flying rules? I was under the impression you weren’t allowed to fly your drone “out of your range of sight” which is about 1500ft. If you’re doing fpv you can’t really “keep an eye on it” lol. Just wondering how that works. Edit, I found the rules. Apparently if you are using FPV goggles you must have a “spotter” or designated person to watch your drone to make sure it never goes out of line of sight.
Honestly $1,300 for what you get is not bad at all. I guarantee you spent alot more for your Gopro 9, hd quad, dji remote controller, and dji goggles... I will say the only annoying thing is the geofencing.
18650 battery packs for drones are blocks made from battery, AA is a type of battery very different from 18650. Dji has 6s lipo but with low c rate as a 18650 not even close to a high c rate racing drone race, you can read specs on dji site
Ben what setup do you use? I have been using Nazgul5 analog version and recently was tempted towards DJI but after several films like this one from Danny I rather tend to buy digital version of NAzgul5 along with goggles.
I run a dc5 with air unit as my main setup I think it’s great value and so easy to repair if you need to I have a qav r witch is the strongest thing I’ve ever seen I’ve had dives go wrong and hit walls on the arms and only ever bent motors never broke the frame yet but for freestyle I prefer dc5
This is someone's OWN reason why he doesn't want to get it... and trying others to follow him. The drone is not at all as bad as he tries to make it look like. Buy one , test it yourself... if you still don't like it, just send it back and get your money back!
I'm really asking. Unless you carrry the updated aviation sectional chart that FAA publishes every 90 days, how do you know you are not in a no fly zone?
dude that issue you talk about at 3mins in with giving the drone power and it not responding is something i just had happen to me and after 4-5 months of never once even touching down rough with this drone in the one time it did to me exactly what your explaining it went full send into a giant palm in my yard and the crazy part is i can pretty much rule out enviromental stuff like wind because it was dead calm that day and i was flying really close to myself when it happened. Its almost like it dropped radio signal but kept video for some odd reason and i wish i could say it only happened temporarily i cant even say that for sure because it really only took 1-2 seconds of that issue happening before it was smashed to pieces to the point where im left having to buy replacement everything pretty much. Its crazy to me that your basically describing what 100% also happened to me. Prior to this i never had a single issue and flew it relatively often but not so much that it would make sense for it to be possibly a motor going out either.
Just discovered you and subscribed. Some questions for you if you wouldn't mind answering? 1. Have you compared recording in D-cinlike and color grade in post? 2. Could you smooth out your flying skills to help smooth out DJI's footage? 3. If you record the DJI in 4K60, could you get comparable video stabilization in post? Great footage - I've been recording drone videos for years and getting ready to move into FPV.
I already have the DJI FPV, but if I sell the drone (and keep the goggles/controller) what FPV drone would you recommend getting instead for increased performance?
You can’t use the controller on anything other then dji fpv drone the goggles can be used on anything with a caddx vista or dji air unit , depends on budget but a iflight 5 inch 6s there are a few but pretty much the same get one with frsky receiver and but a frsky x lite radio if you like the style. It will be a much more aggressive freestyle quad and will take a few good bashes if that happens
You not getting 20 minutes of flight from any home fpv drone... These guys get like 5 minutes. There is no comparison to the Dji fpv in terms with of ease of use. And flight time.
@@rcash3625 no you can get the same flight time if you want to cruise around if you want to freestyle your get 5 mins dji will give about 8 if you freestyle and I don’t mean one flip once in a while. Fpv get low flight time because they are powerful and flown hard dji can’t do that no comparison I have flown fpv for more then 3 years I also have dji fpv it’s not a fpv drone it is a heavy fat in aero dynamic drone that can pull of a few moves but it’s embarrassing to say it’s a fpv drone like putting a classic car in a modern rally it’s not in the same league
I looked up yours. I bought a walkera 210 deluxed night drone and looks like I flight. Walerka costs more than I flight and I hated it. Its not designed anywhere NEAR as nice, the DJI dorne has anit crash tech and it works, walkera nope and you WILL crash it.. Its superb. I put the Walkera back in its box and Im selling it $100 off (600) cost over $700 new. Dji kit is way way better.
Purchased. Regret reason #1 and #6: #1 - the video could use some horizontal stabilization when flying in wind. You get dizzy of how it gets jerked around. #6 - it is fast, but it drains FAST. 10min flying time. Ridiculous.
Thanks for the video you shared. For me flying drones is the easiest thing, not a problem. I like high speed drones. Flying is fun, but the problem is being disturbed by people who have questions. I don't like talking to strangers. It's the most annoying thing in my life.
Couldn’t agree more, especially on the quality of the video. I don’t know how a multi billion dollar company could fail so badly on their camera tech, worst footage I’ve seen on their drones. And WHY THE HELL didn’t they offer 24fps?? Nobody can explain this, why only 60fps???
The DJI fpv has a glitch in the controller software from the factory it will fly away on its own you can get it fixed you take it to a shop they can check it and if it's bad they can reboot the software it loses radio contact after about 8 or 9 flight
Your profile pic is of a DJI FPV drone lol. It's a great quad. Is it crap because you crashed yours and didn't get insurance so DJI is fighting you on repairs? I agree with you about 5" as I still use mine. But I still love my DJI. It's a lot of fun, and I didn't expect it to be anything other than what it was. Do your research. It was never intended to replace custom built 5" quads.
@@psykoonthestreet8640 lol not quite it was repaired under warranty due to a sensor failure while in manual, but it handles like crap it’s too tall and then silly landing feet catch on the floor and flip it over , I wanted it to be good but try and do a decent dive without getting a ton of jello when you power out of it it’s heavy underpowered and the camera is just ok. Not as good as GoPro and my cheap 5 inch takes a hell of a beating. Only good thing is the range on 2.4 is much better then v1 . Ps I do have dji care 👍
@@glen7463 I can appreciate that input, Glen. I do agree a lot with what you're saying, however, I do feel like it's a fun enough FPV drone. TBH, I don't think it's worth the price, but, you get the goggles, and controller with it, so I get DJI's shtick. On the DJI website, the drone alone sells for around 760$. I def would not spend 760 if buying this drone solo. And you're right about the weight, its pretty heavy, and feels bloated when even in normal or sport mode. Seems very "floaty". I hadn't made the jump to Digital goggles, so it was kind of worth it for me as I got the V2 goggles with them. Now, I just need to figure out if I want to run Caddx, or DJI's air unit on my builds
@@psykoonthestreet8640 yes mate jumping from analog to digital is nice I find the range not as good in buildings witch is where I mostly fly, dji fpv is not totally crap just no where what I was expecting tbh I wanted to use the new controller for my old quads and I wanted the longer range 2.4ghz for better range even if I had to buy new air units but dji have made them features only available on thier drone and for me the drone is not that impressive but the features are pretty good, personally I’d prefer bolt on props no landing legs a toggle disarm and easier to fix body and upgradable motors ,mines now just a ornamental as I prefer my £300 dc5 witch is a few years old and only ever had the front legs changed twice new motors and new esc and it’s been bashed a lot .
These are 800 bucks up the street at the store. I've never had the opportunity to even see one of these flying around let alone pilot one myself. I'm thinking a out pulling the trigger on it.
Carbon fiber frame. I’m with ya there.. the power? I live in a place with high elevation where oxygen is thinner and even in those conditions. I never have a problem with power. The one and only issue I have is the process to replace an arm. The soldering. The full unbuild process. They need to develop the vers 2.0 with quick assembly/disassembly parts for rapid redeployment. That’s the number one issue with quads from dji. Even I have replacement arms with motors on them with 3 prong connectors ready to install and go
Just got it as my first drone EVER. I might get another one maybe someone thing smaller and more quiet. But I'm have an absolute BLAST. I was between this one and the Avata.
If you’re new to flying and want to get the basics down this is a good place to start but once you learn I would stick to building one and not dealing with DJI complicated softwares
Can you elaborate more on the continuous geofencing issues? Was the gps inaccurate? Was the DJI no fly zone database inaccurate? Or were these just no fly zones you disagreed with?
I won't use DJI again, I was in Raqqa Syria on the front lines, no laws, just a war zone, I attempted to launch my DJI and it flashed up NFZ, fuck that
@@lucasbrunelle Yeah they've fucked me over as well, but they've always been *actual* no-fly zones, that IMO were just too large. So I was trying to get at was if it was the same for him, or were there technical issues. As for Syria, I don't know anything about their drone laws/regulations. I don't think a war zone necessarily nixes them, though.
@@MrSlowestD16 Not necessarily in war zones but this was actually Assad's govt that put these restrictions in place along with cell phone jammers and other measures. However, from that day on after missing that border shot on the Euphrates, I decided not to buy DJI again
@@lucasbrunelle Sure, but you have to understand those were still the laws of the land on that day. I'm not saying the laws were justified, I'm just saying they were the indeed the laws. So I wasn't asking him about his ethical opinions on geofences and which ones he feels OK in violating. I was asking him if there was a technical problem (eg. inaccurate GPS), or simply a disagreement he had (at some level or another) with the geofences that were in place. The geofences are sometimes a problem for me, and I get mad when I can't take off, but I've experienced no technical problems with the GPS system or the database backing the fences.
@@MrSlowestD16 That makes sense, I've flown DJI's hundreds of times and I can tell you that technical difficulties were very rare and I never did have an accuracy or technical issue with this geofencing
This drone is bad ass just got one last week was a pain to activate it but once that's done and setup full manual mode, it looks like the ship from the game metroid
After watching this video I still bought it. I think you guys are taking this the wrong way. Don't look at it on a prospective of a conventional fpv but as for someone getting into fpv who isn't technical in building their own drone.
Wrap the device in foil for 10min. Then try your take off again. This will unlock the geo fencing. Sometimes this resets it and the device will read its last known location that was a fly zone.
I’m thinking about buying an FPV for a sixteen year old. From your perspective is it more economical to buy this as the first FPV or to do the build your own (he’s capable) and buy all the other components. Great reviews. I’ve got a Mavic Mini-3 Pro and I’ve subscribed to your channel now. Well done!
I have one of these. It is freaking awesome. The highest I got with it was little over 1600 feet before it said that was the limit. I went to record some mountain scenery in a canyon and just beautiful shots...yes I am an amatuer. But, there was a point where I lost image transmission and my goggles went blank...the drone itself continued to record and fly itself until I could see in the goggles again. It's quite the device lol...
The Geo thing is your irresponsibility, cause you have a map on the DJI app that tells you where and how big the Geo coverage is. Don’t you fpv guys are supposed to scout your flying trips? I live in Puerto Rico where there is a lot of airports and that means I have a lot of Geo near me... but that doesn’t mean I can’t take off with precautions... I just log into DJI Fly safe, look for where I’m flying and ask for an instant permission. Which I get 3 seconds away from applying the permit. Don’t confuse people with your lack of knowledge...
The app is called DJI fly safe? I have tried asking for unlock permission with an airport without a tower near my house and it sometimes just doesn't let me unlock it even if I log into the website and unlock for a region.
@@TimThornburg what color is the zone next to you? If it’s blue you should have no problem once you ask for the permission on the dji fly safe site. If it’s red you’re not gonna be able to fly near that zone. You can contact me via email: yela_songz@hotmail.com I’ll help you if anything
I Don't Have the Skills nor Time to build a Custom FPV. .. Did not want to Go Down that Rabbit Hole. I'm Not a Pro, Nor a Racer.. Just wanted to Have Fun having FPV experience.. No Regrets Buying..
It's an extremely fun drone to fly it's fast but it does have a glitch from the factory in the controller itself the drone will eventually fly away it can be fixed and diagnosed I would say buy it cuz it's fun but have it diagnosed to make sure
Another reason - The controller. The DJI FPV remote V2 has very small gimbals, compared to like a tango 2, or tx16s which has better control because of bigger gimbals.
Is it possible, when you've rached the max. 500 meter altitude when hovering onto something, to update the height to 0 and then hovering again 500 meters?
You referenced several times that the maximum altitude is 500m, I think you need to check the specs again. In the Specs the DJI FPV's Max Service Ceiling Above Sea Level is 6,000 m, I've seen an altitude test on RUclips of it doing 4500m.
You can do a "sport" version of this drone yourself with a half sized battery .., that is probably the reason it sometimes feels underpowered the weight ...
If you can safely dismantle the DJI FPV then I would make carbon fibre parts out of the components that you can. In fact it wouldn't be too difficult. I doubt the weight saving would be much but there should be gains in strength of the frame. Maybe. Great content.
He's talking from a drone videographer perspective and this drone has only limited uses in that field. This drone is great for people who aren't drone savvy and want a high quality FPV experience with long range and handholding to keep them from destroying their expensive toy.

you can be as far as possible from the nearest airport but you are still in the airport approach sectors or entrance gates which won't allow you to fly.

DJI care refresh does give you a piece of mind especially flying a 90mph drone.
Honestly $1,300 for what you get is not bad at all. I guarantee you spent alot more for your Gopro 9, hd quad, dji remote controller, and dji goggles... I will say the only annoying thing is the geofencing.
How can I get the steady shot program
The most thing I like about the FPV is the Savage startup sound 😈😎
I think what people dont get is that the DJI FPV is like a prototype FPV and also its an entry drone to the FPV world
Could you take out the camera from the drone and modify the GoPro camera for it??
Geofencing and height limit are a killer
18650 battery packs for drones are blocks made from battery, AA is a type of battery very different from 18650. Dji has 6s lipo but with low c rate as a 18650 not even close to a high c rate racing drone race, you can read specs on dji site
Definitely sticking with my I flight FPV, awesome info man!
Awesome! Thank you!
Ben what setup do you use? I have been using Nazgul5 analog version and recently was tempted towards DJI but after several films like this one from Danny I rather tend to buy digital version of NAzgul5 along with goggles.
Super stoked on my iflight setup too. Pumped to try their titan!
I run a dc5 with air unit as my main setup I think it’s great value and so easy to repair if you need to I have a qav r witch is the strongest thing I’ve ever seen I’ve had dives go wrong and hit walls on the arms and only ever bent motors never broke the frame yet but for freestyle I prefer dc5
I just bought one.. absolutely love it
This is someone's OWN reason why he doesn't want to get it... and trying others to follow him. The drone is not at all as bad as he tries to make it look like. Buy one , test it yourself... if you still don't like it, just send it back and get your money back!
good mind. well done my boy
Love the video but love even more the sudden inserts! Right on point and funny!!
I'm really asking. Unless you carrry the updated aviation sectional chart that FAA publishes every 90 days, how do you know you are not in a no fly zone?
dude that issue you talk about at 3mins in with giving the drone power and it not responding is something i just had happen to me and after 4-5 months of never once even touching down rough with this drone in the one time it did to me exactly what your explaining it went full send into a giant palm in my yard and the crazy part is i can pretty much rule out enviromental stuff like wind because it was dead calm that day and i was flying really close to myself when it happened. Its almost like it dropped radio signal but kept video for some odd reason and i wish i could say it only happened temporarily i cant even say that for sure because it really only took 1-2 seconds of that issue happening before it was smashed to pieces to the point where im left having to buy replacement everything pretty much. Its crazy to me that your basically describing what 100% also happened to me. Prior to this i never had a single issue and flew it relatively often but not so much that it would make sense for it to be possibly a motor going out either.
Just discovered you and subscribed. Some questions for you if you wouldn't mind answering?
1. Have you compared recording in D-cinlike and color grade in post?
2. Could you smooth out your flying skills to help smooth out DJI's footage?
3. If you record the DJI in 4K60, could you get comparable video stabilization in post?
Great footage - I've been recording drone videos for years and getting ready to move into FPV.
You haven’t messed with the DJI camera settings and is actually far better that a go pro
idk about your eyes but that drone video quality looks way better than that go pro.
I already have the DJI FPV, but if I sell the drone (and keep the goggles/controller) what FPV drone would you recommend getting instead for increased performance?
You can’t use the controller on anything other then dji fpv drone the goggles can be used on anything with a caddx vista or dji air unit , depends on budget but a iflight 5 inch 6s there are a few but pretty much the same get one with frsky receiver and but a frsky x lite radio if you like the style. It will be a much more aggressive freestyle quad and will take a few good bashes if that happens
You not getting 20 minutes of flight from any home fpv drone... These guys get like 5 minutes. There is no comparison to the Dji fpv in terms with of ease of use. And flight time.
@@rcash3625 no you can get the same flight time if you want to cruise around if you want to freestyle your get 5 mins dji will give about 8 if you freestyle and I don’t mean one flip once in a while. Fpv get low flight time because they are powerful and flown hard dji can’t do that no comparison I have flown fpv for more then 3 years I also have dji fpv it’s not a fpv drone it is a heavy fat in aero dynamic drone that can pull of a few moves but it’s embarrassing to say it’s a fpv drone like putting a classic car in a modern rally it’s not in the same league
@@rcash3625 lmao guess you don't know about LR fpv quads. Ez 30 min flights gps etc. None of that geofencing height limit bs too.
Just ordered mines, cant wait to fly it.
What is your recommendation for 2022?
Guys, let this trending so dji see the video!
@Danny, that’s sucks about the power issue. You have the limiter disabled and it’s still like that?
I looked up yours. I bought a walkera 210 deluxed night drone and looks like I flight. Walerka costs more than I flight and I hated it. Its not designed anywhere NEAR as nice, the DJI dorne has anit crash tech and it works, walkera nope and you WILL crash it.. Its superb. I put the Walkera back in its box and Im selling it $100 off (600) cost over $700 new. Dji kit is way way better.
Purchased. Regret reason #1 and #6: #1 - the video could use some horizontal stabilization when flying in wind. You get dizzy of how it gets jerked around. #6 - it is fast, but it drains FAST. 10min flying time. Ridiculous.
Thanks for the video you shared. For me flying drones is the easiest thing, not a problem. I like high speed drones. Flying is fun, but the problem is being disturbed by people who have questions. I don't like talking to strangers. It's the most annoying thing in my life.
when it comes to the Nazgul5, are their shops for me to take it to if I need repairs and what not?
The thing about geofencing, I don't think it will be only for the DJI FPV
I two of these and ne er had a problem whatsoever . It's a beast . 💪
Couldn’t agree more, especially on the quality of the video. I don’t know how a multi billion dollar company could fail so badly on their camera tech, worst footage I’ve seen on their drones. And WHY THE HELL didn’t they offer 24fps?? Nobody can explain this, why only 60fps???
The DJI fpv has a glitch in the controller software from the factory it will fly away on its own you can get it fixed you take it to a shop they can check it and if it's bad they can reboot the software it loses radio contact after about 8 or 9 flight
It’s a crap quad and DJI have a rubbish repair service I’ll stick to my good old dc5 6s it’s cheap strong and can I can fix it on location
I Agree with you I’m doing the same within my fpv set ups
Your profile pic is of a DJI FPV drone lol. It's a great quad. Is it crap because you crashed yours and didn't get insurance so DJI is fighting you on repairs? I agree with you about 5" as I still use mine. But I still love my DJI. It's a lot of fun, and I didn't expect it to be anything other than what it was. Do your research. It was never intended to replace custom built 5" quads.
@@psykoonthestreet8640 lol not quite it was repaired under warranty due to a sensor failure while in manual, but it handles like crap it’s too tall and then silly landing feet catch on the floor and flip it over , I wanted it to be good but try and do a decent dive without getting a ton of jello when you power out of it it’s heavy underpowered and the camera is just ok. Not as good as GoPro and my cheap 5 inch takes a hell of a beating. Only good thing is the range on 2.4 is much better then v1 . Ps I do have dji care 👍
@@glen7463 I can appreciate that input, Glen. I do agree a lot with what you're saying, however, I do feel like it's a fun enough FPV drone. TBH, I don't think it's worth the price, but, you get the goggles, and controller with it, so I get DJI's shtick. On the DJI website, the drone alone sells for around 760$. I def would not spend 760 if buying this drone solo. And you're right about the weight, its pretty heavy, and feels bloated when even in normal or sport mode. Seems very "floaty". I hadn't made the jump to Digital goggles, so it was kind of worth it for me as I got the V2 goggles with them. Now, I just need to figure out if I want to run Caddx, or DJI's air unit on my builds
@@psykoonthestreet8640 yes mate jumping from analog to digital is nice I find the range not as good in buildings witch is where I mostly fly, dji fpv is not totally crap just no where what I was expecting tbh I wanted to use the new controller for my old quads and I wanted the longer range 2.4ghz for better range even if I had to buy new air units but dji have made them features only available on thier drone and for me the drone is not that impressive but the features are pretty good, personally I’d prefer bolt on props no landing legs a toggle disarm and easier to fix body and upgradable motors ,mines now just a ornamental as I prefer my £300 dc5 witch is a few years old and only ever had the front legs changed twice new motors and new esc and it’s been bashed a lot .
These are 800 bucks up the street at the store. I've never had the opportunity to even see one of these flying around let alone pilot one myself. I'm thinking a out pulling the trigger on it.
Carbon fiber frame. I’m with ya there.. the power? I live in a place with high elevation where oxygen is thinner and even in those conditions. I never have a problem with power. The one and only issue I have is the process to replace an arm. The soldering. The full unbuild process. They need to develop the vers 2.0 with quick assembly/disassembly parts for rapid redeployment. That’s the number one issue with quads from dji. Even I have replacement arms with motors on them with 3 prong connectors ready to install and go
You can just buy the unlock license to remove the altitude limit you know right eg drone hacks..
If you want video quality buy the go pro. If you want fvp buy the drone.
FAA along with military ops is why geo no-fly is activated
You’re making me want to buy it more
Just got it as my first drone EVER. I might get another one maybe someone thing smaller and more quiet. But I'm have an absolute BLAST. I was between this one and the Avata.
If you’re new to flying and want to get the basics down this is a good place to start but once you learn I would stick to building one and not dealing with DJI complicated softwares
Great video pal. Thanks for the info!
I have this drone and I love it!
Can you elaborate more on the continuous geofencing issues? Was the gps inaccurate? Was the DJI no fly zone database inaccurate? Or were these just no fly zones you disagreed with?
I won't use DJI again, I was in Raqqa Syria on the front lines, no laws, just a war zone, I attempted to launch my DJI and it flashed up NFZ, fuck that
@@lucasbrunelle Yeah they've fucked me over as well, but they've always been *actual* no-fly zones, that IMO were just too large. So I was trying to get at was if it was the same for him, or were there technical issues.
As for Syria, I don't know anything about their drone laws/regulations. I don't think a war zone necessarily nixes them, though.
@@MrSlowestD16 Not necessarily in war zones but this was actually Assad's govt that put these restrictions in place along with cell phone jammers and other measures. However, from that day on after missing that border shot on the Euphrates, I decided not to buy DJI again
@@lucasbrunelle Sure, but you have to understand those were still the laws of the land on that day. I'm not saying the laws were justified, I'm just saying they were the indeed the laws. So I wasn't asking him about his ethical opinions on geofences and which ones he feels OK in violating. I was asking him if there was a technical problem (eg. inaccurate GPS), or simply a disagreement he had (at some level or another) with the geofences that were in place.
The geofences are sometimes a problem for me, and I get mad when I can't take off, but I've experienced no technical problems with the GPS system or the database backing the fences.
@@MrSlowestD16 That makes sense, I've flown DJI's hundreds of times and I can tell you that technical difficulties were very rare and I never did have an accuracy or technical issue with this geofencing
Thank you danny, very nice video on the cons. Very respectful to DJI
Yo this fpv is dope bro. Sorry. Theres too much complaining about it but its pretty legit. Stop complaining and fly it !
Thanks. Watched 100%.
It’s pretty badass in full manual mode
Welp, if you crash it hard, maybe transplant the components to carbon fiber frame for some Franken-drone fun...
Can I find a ready to fly drone like yours(the one with yellow props) somewhere?
You search for it. You type "Nazgul 5 drone" into Google, and boom - there is your result
WELCOME... to the Internet
This drone is bad ass just got one last week was a pain to activate it but once that's done and setup full manual mode, it looks like the ship from the game metroid
After watching this video I still bought it. I think you guys are taking this the wrong way. Don't look at it on a prospective of a conventional fpv but as for someone getting into fpv who isn't technical in building their own drone.
You can unlock other settings and nfz zones and flight limiter
Wrap the device in foil for 10min. Then try your take off again. This will unlock the geo fencing. Sometimes this resets it and the device will read its last known location that was a fly zone.
Geofencing LOL go get your part 107 and request airspace from the FAA.
What would you suggest for my first fpv?
I’m thinking about buying an FPV for a sixteen year old. From your perspective is it more economical to buy this as the first FPV or to do the build your own (he’s capable) and buy all the other components. Great reviews. I’ve got a Mavic Mini-3 Pro and I’ve subscribed to your channel now. Well done!
What is better Air 2S or DJI FPV I've been looking at these two drones for a while but I don't know which one to get
maybe the menuverability is something that can be adjusted in the control settings?
what is the name of your backpack?
I just bought it oops 😬
Jk love it so far but I'm sure I'll upgrade eventually fair points, trying to work up the courage to go full manual
I have one of these. It is freaking awesome. The highest I got with it was little over 1600 feet before it said that was the limit. I went to record some mountain scenery in a canyon and just beautiful shots...yes I am an amatuer. But, there was a point where I lost image transmission and my goggles went blank...the drone itself continued to record and fly itself until I could see in the goggles again. It's quite the device lol...
The Geo thing is your irresponsibility, cause you have a map on the DJI app that tells you where and how big the Geo coverage is. Don’t you fpv guys are supposed to scout your flying trips?
I live in Puerto Rico where there is a lot of airports and that means I have a lot of Geo near me... but that doesn’t mean I can’t take off with precautions... I just log into DJI Fly safe, look for where I’m flying and ask for an instant permission. Which I get 3 seconds away from applying the permit.
Don’t confuse people with your lack of knowledge...
The app is called DJI fly safe? I have tried asking for unlock permission with an airport without a tower near my house and it sometimes just doesn't let me unlock it even if I log into the website and unlock for a region.
@@TimThornburg what color is the zone next to you? If it’s blue you should have no problem once you ask for the permission on the dji fly safe site. If it’s red you’re not gonna be able to fly near that zone.
You can contact me via email:
yela_songz@hotmail.com
I’ll help you if anything
I Don't Have the Skills nor Time to build a Custom FPV. .. Did not want to Go Down that Rabbit Hole. I'm Not a Pro, Nor a Racer.. Just wanted to Have Fun having FPV experience.. No Regrets Buying..
It's an extremely fun drone to fly it's fast but it does have a glitch from the factory in the controller itself the drone will eventually fly away it can be fixed and diagnosed I would say buy it cuz it's fun but have it diagnosed to make sure
Another reason - The controller. The DJI FPV remote V2 has very small gimbals, compared to like a tango 2, or tx16s which has better control because of bigger gimbals.
This drone is awesome!
Is it possible, when you've rached the max. 500 meter altitude when hovering onto something, to update the height to 0 and then hovering again 500 meters?
dono how i found your channel but I was in one of your zoom group calls the other day 😅😆 small small world hahaha !
You referenced several times that the maximum altitude is 500m, I think you need to check the specs again. In the Specs the DJI FPV's Max Service Ceiling Above Sea Level is
6,000 m, I've seen an altitude test on RUclips of it doing 4500m.
man you doing New Zeland durty on your world map haahahah
You can do a "sport" version of this drone yourself with a half sized battery .., that is probably the reason it sometimes feels underpowered the weight ...
what about an nd filter on your dji drone for the comparison??
And shoot D-log then increase color contrast in post, -as it should be- to match the footages.
good info thank you
If you can safely dismantle the DJI FPV then I would make carbon fibre parts out of the components that you can. In fact it wouldn't be too difficult. I doubt the weight saving would be much but there should be gains in strength of the frame. Maybe. Great content.
This is the best drone ever I love it🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
