The temptation to fly in manual straightaway is really strong with this drone! Keep resisting tho until you're confident enough. And may the force be with you guys! 😅
I’m just looking at getting into flying drones, do you think this is a good place to start or should I buy a drone that doesn’t cost so much and is easier to fix when I crash?
@@ConicalRamirez great place to start, wicked technology, Flys so far , Flys fast, Flys a long time. 😀. It is difficult to crash if you don't fly like an idiot. Basically stabilizes itself so unless you intentionally take risks and fly in sport or manual then it should be great for a learner.
@@ConicalRamirez get a fpv drone that carbon fiber. Cost a lot less. Cheaper to fix. U can fix it urself. FPV Drones like nazgul v2 is built like a tank. I would not start with dji fpv if u want to dive and flip and have fun.
@@ConicalRamirez I’m selling my first few drones and getting this one. Between learning batteries, beta flight, binding procedure , and other stuff I’m moving to the DJI FPV. It’s a much more simplistic approach and will save you the headache of the DIY fpv stuff. Plus having built in DVR means no extra cost of GoPro right away and 20 min flight time is way better than 3-6 minutes with regular lipos
Hey Mike, What angle is best for the gimbal when practicing in the sim? Also do tuning changes take effect in the sim or is that only when flying the drone? Thanks!
Love it mate, you talk so much sense. Out of interest what are your rates for 5 inch and cinewhoop flying? not sure if you've ever mentioned it before on your channel. cheers
Yea if you play it safe first flight is easy on the actual craft in normal mode, you will only crash by flying unsafe and or on manual or sport mode. 😉 I can't fly in normal that long now unless I'm flying through trees to land, make use of the object detect.
Thanks for the tips! Have a few questions: Do the paid drone apps you mentioned have parameters you can set to make the sim feel just like the DJI FPV model? Also, can you adjust factors like air density/elevation?
I just like that the DJI FPV have flight modes that can match your level of skills with flying drones. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, both can have fun with the FPV!
You can still use manual tuned to a simple safe mode that won't flip over or drive straight into the ground pushing forward. Then get comfortable enough to allow flips over time.
Another tip : Don’t get over confident. I have a Mini 2 that I am flew regularly, I think I know it enough. 2 months back I got an idea of trying to simulate a seagull flying 2 feet above the sea. To get that epic shot of over water... I flew the drone straight into water, it was an idiot decision.
Did something similar with the Mavic Air 2. Wanted some low to the water footage of Lake Tahoe so I turned off the safety features. Sunny day, couldn't see the screen properly. Looked up only to see my tiny black speck of a drone disappear into the calm mirror-like lake... It even came with a comical 'plop' as I lost $1000 in an instant... I just stared at the lake for a couple of minutes
So glad I started FPV flying a few years back. This DJI FPV drone is amazing and I own 35 FPV drones but now no more FS and once you tune this thing to you it's like a freaken robot in the sky.
I didn't have a sim, so he is an idiot and flew unsafe right away. I almost hit a tree myself, machismo is a thing and showing off is the dangerous way to fly.

Hi, I have a DJI FPV, but I don't have an IOS device, can you please suggest a good Windows Flight simulator compatible with DJI FPV drone and RC? how can I connect the RC to the windows PC?
In the simulator, what drone (and/or rates) would you recommend to get the closest feeling to the DJI FPV? (I use the DRL Sim, but i assume it should be similar between different sims)
Heads Up: DJI charges a minimum Repair Service Fee of $65.00. There are a lot of parts that they do not sell - so customers are forced to pay high prices for small repairs. I needed to have one front arm replaced. Parts cost a total of $7.50, but because they don't sell replacement arms - I was required to pay the $65 repair fee. Also, DJI requires that you provide all flight data before they will make any repairs. Until more parts are offered to the public, this is a VERY expensive drone to fix.
I lost mine the first week. Everything failed. Had plenty of battery, thing feel out of the sky like a brick. Someone snatched it b4 I could get to it. DJI care is unbelievably slow. N fyi it's always your fault.
I disagree go to normal mode. Into an open space and go slow. Simulator is nonsense. You are in the simulator. Let the drone guide you. Do not go crazy. Go up down left right and repeat. Get used to the sight, do not go to obstacles. Do that daily. Once you feel you got dexterity switch mode and go slow again. Even pros crash trust me. But it’s amazing!!!
I've got another tip, make sure to fix your batterie with some straps or something. Ive crashed mine, the batterie flew out and I could not find it anymore, even with the recorded video... :( with the batterie in it you can locate it with the beeper. Losing the Drone is even worse, than crashing it... you can fix it, or maybe dji can but if its lost it is lost. And get the Dji care, it is definitely worth the extra money
Important and precious tips. You really are absolutely right, especially with a drone as fast as this DJI release. Congratulations !! Like guaranteed here for you.👍👍👍✔🟢
Your videos are excellent. I'm trying the simulator to prep for m mode. No issue with Normal and sport. M is much harder than i thought, or the sim sucks.
Been flying analog for years, and got my hands of this beast! Straight to manual mode first flight with digital.. Was a hole new experience with the view!
Great tips! I got my FPV a few weeks ago, and I’ve put more time into watching informative videos like yours than flying. One day I will have the guts to switch it into full manual.
@@Marcus2750-u1t Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve finally started flying full acro a couple of months ago after practicing on the simulator for about 30hrs. I’ve thought about getting a cheaper drone, just to fly it to the extreme without worrying about crashing it.
Noooo Do not touch rates. Way too complicated. Odds are screw it up Get a 3” with cheap goggles Go to soccer field Use goalpost Sit chair Use horizontal and vertical reference Up down Left right Simple
В дрон я поставил сандиск экстрим про на 64гб, в очки сандиск экстрим на 64гб. Если карта слабая он напишет об этом. В настройках поставил автозапись при взле́те. Потом дома просматриваю и разбираю полёт где,что и как. Разница в записи....на дрон можешь записать в 4к видео а в очки только 1440*810.
Well, this was a timely video to come up on my feed. Just flew my semi-new DJI FPV drone today for the first time today. Had a nice, wide-open area and kept it in "Normal" and "Sport" modes. Didn't try anything fancy, kept my flight above 80 feet. The only other FPV experience I have comes from flying a Tinyhawk 2. I use Velocidrone & Liftoff sims. Was not aware I could use those with the RC from the DJI FPV. Great info in this one, Mike. Much appreciated.
Got mine last week. Its my first foray into FPV, been flying the Mini for a couple years and def consider myself above avg. on that. Got into the fpv Sim after it arrived and realized I didnt know Sh!t! Definitely demoralizing....haven't even had the balls to throw it into Manual yet. LOL. (ps- the fpv is absolutely incredible! A whole new beast. Cant wait to work my way up to Manual)
Great video. Great tips. I have just got this drone and downloaded a few Simulators to practice on after trying to fly Tiny Whoops and struggling a bit. Will definitely get plenty of stick time on the sims before attempting manual on drone.
I thought 1. training on the simulator and than 2. directly go in the drone in acro would be the best, to not screw up your muscle memory with normal and sport mode. Thats, what I did.
I certainly won’t feel comfortable flying in an open space area all myself because we have Mountain Lions roaming in that area. I do fly at a park which they allow drones.
Hey thank you so much for you all your tips ! Always super helpful ! Can you please share with me which rates you put in velocidrone ? I tried to do a copy and paste of manufacturer rate on DJI FPV but when I set it on velocidrone the drone flies super shaky. Thanks for your help
Tip #6: Do not hit Start/Stop button during Manual flight because it will shutdown the engines and you completely lose control over your ~800 gram drone. Panic button doesn't help in this case and an acro-skill or a week of everyday flight in the simulator doesn't helps as well. I made that mistake...
Ordering mine in the next week or two. I’m new to drone piloting and will definitely take your advice. I’m pretty excited to start my Top Gun training how ever long it takes! 🛩 👩✈️
Is the Pause button able to recover if you are in Manual with Attitude Control turned off and it were say fully upside down? Does it have the technology to point itself rightside up when that button is pressed?
