DJI FPV Drone - TEARDOWN & OVERVIEW

This is the DJI FPV Drone from DJI.
As always I opened it up to see what makes it tick.
The main questions are: How sturdy the design is and how easy would be for an average person to repair it.
As a piece of advice for all the guys just starting out their FPV journey with this drone is to stay out of the M flying mode (fully manual to be exact) until they fully learned the skill to fly it in a simulator and even then to pay extra caution when flying in M mode. The (acro, manual, rate mode, etc) style of control takes months or even years to master so be careful and don't make any stupid decisions!

This looks so much harder to repair than a mavic, on a drone that will need to be repaired more often haha

@Mi78 3 года назад

It also looks harder to repair than a normal FPV drone and is defenetely more expensive.

@proz71ful19 3 года назад

Harder than your abs.. no 😘

@nineh9739 3 года назад

looks worse to repair than the mavic clones on banggood. applying device design to fpv ruins nearly everything good about fpv drones. with plastic and aluminum construction it's unclear why they didn't panel the chassis in glass to make it at least as durable as a dropped phone.

Wow! Can't believe DJI shipped you one to rip apart. Great to see how they're put together (if ever needed). Joshua Bardwell broke the arm on his already (DJI shipped him two FPVs). So, not to confident they'll stand-up to the majority of crashes...have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of rebuilt tutorials down the road once people start getting them in their hands. Again, thanks for the video!

Hi there, I´ve been given a couple of units for preview, in a Spanish channel, and I´ve crashed one against a power line from the top part, so I was wondering to have a replacement for that top part where you have a roller bearing and the gimbal has been slightly damaged but I think that needs replacement

@RudyGuyennot 3 года назад

Curious to known if ESC are powerful or not (4in1 30A / 45A / 60A ?) and what are KV motors ? 🤔 Because 15min of flight and 140km/h with a 6s Li-Ion 2000mAh in accro mode.. it's pretty awesome !

@LivyuFPV 3 года назад

I only flew a max of 9 minutes. but this FPV drone from DJI is underpowered badly :( like 50% from what my normal 6s quads have.

No matter how many times we remind ourselves this as durable/sturdy/rigid, its insides just scream THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE CRASHED. It just looks insanely complicated for an FPV drone.

@eparustefan 3 года назад

So it's not so hard to change parts...of course not as easy as an fpv drone but still if the parts will not be a fortune its duable. What about the body especially the legs that could break in a crash, can you take them off easy ?

@typxxilps 3 года назад

for us of great value cause my buddy had crashed his on day 1 and we needed this piece to make no more mistakes during "slaugthering" cause we sold the pieces already ... 1 arm broken and 1 motor with board and led and 1 cable loose which had stopped the whole drone from booting - but we learned that only while tearing it apart.

@glen7463 3 года назад

Great to see inside I have crashed mine about 4 times mostly due to it being so tall and keep hitting the bottom going through gaps the gimbal has been fine a couple was into walls . Biggest problem is disarming th motors in a hurry I hate the double tap to stop and I’ve got the pause button in stead of stop and it’s flew into stuff when I wanted to do a quick land. The range is great compared to air units tho . This will not replace my bashing quads but still a excellent drone.

@wandertheworld3206 3 года назад

Good to get your take. I picked it up to get started in FPV. It's like a bike with training wheels that you can eventually take off. And then eventually if you like it enough you graduate to something better.
