Testing the range on the new DJI FPV. One of the biggest upsides of the new DJI FPV has to be the range and connection - which in paper is 10km. In this video I take the drone out and put it to the test

With the fly home feature, auto landing, tracking, I think for the price this thing is an excellent beginner fpv drone

@davrtx Год назад

Agreed, but do beginners even want to spend that much for their first Fpv drone 😭

Just lost connection with my DJI FPV for the first time. After a few minutes of terror while the goggles are black, it came back just fine. It seems to stop the video recording for some reason though. Did you find that happened too?

@RGMGFitness 3 года назад

Looks like an awesome place to visit (I've never been there). I'm sure you know but for others... *watch those winds!* You could have a great tail wind pushing you out (while flying away)..but remember you will have to fight that wind coming back (returning to you), which could chew up a ton of battery. Always error on the side of caution when windy. Enjoy the rest of your travel! Watching your very early FPV videos pushed me to get into FPV so thanks for that by the way!

@Mcgeee 3 года назад

Yeah I always try to stay mindful of that. The wind was much better than it's normally been haha And that's so rad, its the best hobby!

@RCRitterFPV 3 года назад

fair review, occusync is crazy good, the no flys are annoying. I hit one and have no idea why, it was over a golf course... battery is heavy and weak. 2000mah for that weight it should be 3000mah. it's just a heavy little bugger, but it gets going so it's not slow. just got mine back from repair today, hope the weather gets a bit nicer so I can take it back up.

@kishascape Год назад

Use the drone-hacks and such to remove those. Or just buy a better brand.

@badr1975 3 года назад

Great reviews! Any thoughts on the drone having those roll jitters? Like you said in the previous video - doesn't seem like it'll be close to a Gopro+ReelSteady. Does it feel like it's more stable if you give it more throttle?

@drkastenbrot 3 года назад

Those jitters are a normal reaction to wind, and a proper gopro with rsgo will make the dji fpv footage look bad, in colors, details and in butter smooth stability.

@best_pilot 3 года назад

Hi Danny, in case you intend to perform a really REALISTIC long range test: (1) Avoid humid environment (atmospheric water vapour is absorbing your signals). Best would be semi-arid areas (Colorado .. :-) (2) Select an environment that is free of obstacles (at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz quite important). (3) Fly at altitudes of about 120 m or above Otherwise; already well done ! ! My background: Physicist, phd and some 37+ yrs. in space industry

@JonasGrumby 3 года назад

I live out in mostly fruit trees /farmland south of Fresno and I can only go about 10,000 feet before I start having problems. I don't think this FPV drone could go 10,000 meters. Maybe is total still wind and out with no signal interference.

@rogueheart1 3 года назад

@ADMIREDESIGN 3 года назад

@@al_vanderbeek na, I have one and can get close to the full 20. It just depends on if you let it come back when it starts beeping at you at 30%. If you continue to fly it right up until say 3-5% you can get a lot of extra time out of it. When I brought it back at 30% (like my first time flying) it had been going for just over 10-12 minutes, so that extra 30% would get you another 5-6 or so. Just depends on the RTH stuff.

@zokru1 3 года назад

regular fpv drones with tbs or other good system could go 40 Km , the problem is video feed but with a ground station you can do it no problem .the limit is battery but you can go way fare if you use a wing for example. I fly my long range drone at 3km no problem and you can set the return home like a dji if you install a gps. On diy lithium battery that cost about 40 euros to make i fly 18 min with my setup but if you do a proper build you can go even longer.

@jasonrowe3219 Год назад

My furthest is 9.3km, full manual. Goiing slow doest get as much distance if these drones, I think because they are so heavy. Could probably get over 10kms, if I flew straight and turn around then come back again. 8 mins flight time. I have gotten 16mins before. But lowe speeds and not as much distance. These drones you need to pump it with thr speed then come back. The distance covered is way more than going slow.

First of great video and a great test. However I have to point out there is no such thing as FPV Mode, fpv stands for ( first-person view ) witch is what you get when you were FPV goggles of any type and on any drone and you look through the goggles and see the image from the camera on the Drone.

It will fly for 30 min but the 10 km has to be a perfectly flat non obstructions you would have to go out to the ocean or somthing
