Is The DJI FPV Drone Still Worth It In 2024 (DJI Remote ID Update) 

I love my FPV Drone, its a blast to fly. I only fly it, in sport & normal mode. A few weeks ago I bought the AIR 3 and Mini 4 Pro, both fly more combos, & I bought the Integra goggles Motion 2 Combo, to fly those two drones with goggles. I'm waiting for another paycheck to buy 2 year care Refresh Plans for both drones before I fly them. Hopefully Flying the AIR 3 in Sport mode will be somewhat similar as flying the FPV Drone in sport mode, but with a much longer battery life.

By far my favorite DJI drone. If they come out with a 30% battery improvement I will buy another one. A masterpiece of aircraft design.

I bought it 5 months ago and I am VERY satisfied. I am already mastering the ACRO mode and have flown in this mode 3 times. Now only ACRO mode... The drone is just SUPER. The last time I got carried away with flying and when the battery was low, the drone itself let me know why it returned home at full charge. So the best drone for beginners.

pretty good video especially with all the little hints and tips ive been looking at one of these for filming and the flight experience more than the fpv sport side thank you i enjoyed this vid i,m in wales uk by the way so i think the regs are slightly different 👍👍👍

Do you have a link for that face foam, thanks good video.

you know you been putting in work on the sticks when you see Band-Aids.

still like flying my dji fpv, so upgraded to integra goggles now that they dropped to 350... After updating firmware, Manual mode is gone, and goggle activation was not smooth, already regretting changing what was not broke...

Ive heard terrible things about anything but the Stock DJI Propellers on this Drone. Basically everyone that has those props that had an issue, had a blade snap off randomly in flight and then the drone falls like you said.. I actually have a set and i liked them, but as soon as i heard about all the Horror stories with them I dont use them anymore. Also you can just replace the quick-mount propeller assembly with a 5mm shaft to run traditional 5" or 5.1" FPV drone props off a normal 5" fpv drone

You don’t have to have your phone hooked up all the time right after I start my Drone up, I take it up in the air disconnect the cable you will get ID error on the right side of the screen that’s it. It flies exactly the same.

Wonder if DJI will update my old FPV to enable RemoteID, maybe I shouldn't update the firmware from now on.

I have this drone for mid range exploration. Easily goes 3 miles out 🎉

The other solution is to not upgrade the goggles or the drone and you wont have to hook a phone to it every time you fly. I always fly under 400 feet and with LAANC approval the faa need to take a chill pill its way over regulating drone pilots.

Worry free get the avata, dji fpv.. its intimidating

Just got one for 700$ with goggles and remote control.

99.3 mph for me

Those arent goggles 2 they are V2's big difference

I own both the Avata and the FPV drone so i have been having a blast flying them. I will agree the Avata is far more durable as I have crashed it several times and aside from some prop damage it has held up very well. I actually crashed my FPV drone into a tree the first time I got it in in the air in sport mode... Luckily I bought the arm bracers so it survived virtually unscathed aside from some prop damage. However since graduating to manual mode I have yet to crash it again after 10 - 15 packs or so. In my experience the Avata is definitely the more forgiving and cost effective drone, but its also relatively sluggish and slow compared to the FPV drone. Even when I have the throttle up on it there isn't much power behind it. To be fair its a cinewhoop vs FPV and they are related but fulfill different roles. Hitting the throttle on the FPV is a different story there is definitely more power there and the lift it generates is substantially higher. I feel better doing more acrobatic style of flying with the FPV, but I like flying really close to the ground/objects or hitting gaps with the Avata. Also if you buy either drone kit these days you get the goggles integra which eliminates the need for an external battery pack and eliminates the need to plug your phone into the headset to fly.

Can I have a free fpv kit for beginner? I really want to fly an fpv drone but unfortunately I can't afford to buy one because we're not that rich, I was hoping you'll give me a free fpv kit for beginner, thank you!

i dont thinck it was ever worth it , for a fpv drone its the low of the lowest , the only adventage is that its a mavic and fpv at oonce

I bought DJI FPV in March 2024. goggles integra compatible . no phone pluged in required at all. but mine is hacked - no geozones no alt limit .

If you are going to review a product get your facts straight thats 2 things now that you have said that isnt factual first those are V2 goggles not goggles 2 and its not a 2 axis gimbal just a single misinformation doesnt help those entering into this hobby .

Nice video but at least I'm glad to see I got you beat on speed I've had mine up to 95. I never did the last update so I'm still flying mine around without using my phone. You really shouldn't be scared to put it in acro I do a lot of chase videos and they can basically only be done in manual. At least the ones where I'm chasing aircraft. Anything on the ground typically won't go faster than 60 so I do those in sport. Last but not least I have a video on how to handcatch it. It's extremely easy you might like it

wait you have to tether to phone in order to use this? btw nice demonstration. dude in the comments is nuts lol

I wouldn't go buying a DJI FPV today but it's a great beater drone if you already have one. I've bathed mine in polyurethane conformal coating. I fly it in rain and snow. It's a DJI so as long as I don't crash it will last forever.

Remote ID. What a crock, need to hack this some way or they need to update the firmware. I’m not going to hook myself up like a dog on a chain to fly. Idiot lawmakers.

No cause its all bs

This was never a good quadcopter. Weighs too much, breaks too easily since its all plastic, and handles worse than most fpv quads. Remote ID on freestyle and race quads is also completely ridiculous.

Be careful posting videos on youtube breaking FAA rules. They require a spotter with clear line of sight when the goggles are on.

Are you asking if a plastic drone that breaks in about everyday is worth it? It wasn't worth it at first...and it's not worth it now unless you get it for 50 bucks...as repairing it will cost you so much time and money it's just a dumb choice for anyone to make... sure the noobs will love it because they are told this is the best way into FPV. But most if not all will start with this...crash it and be done with FPV By the way only noobs fly DJI and nobody who loves FPV flies with Remote ID.... There is nothing innovating about it. It does not handle as well as real quads by the least bit. Takes too long to fix....and like I said is made of nothing but plastic that is NOT meant for a drone of this type! there are no seasoned FOV pilots that like DJI FPV DRONE....we build these ourselves because that is what FPV is. If all you have is the DJI FPV DRONE...you are a noob and have never experience REAL FPV. does this answer your question????

Almost everything you told people wasn't the facts all 3 goggles do absolutely work with the fpv drone and the avata come on bro get it straight before you post a misleading video!

It answers my question does this guy have a clue ? Answer nope he doesnt this is as muchreal fpv as yours dude if you dont like it fine but dont talk shit that you know nothing about.
