The DJI FPV Drone is 3 years old!
For anyone who is a beginner and wants a Ready To Fly FPV Drone that is DIGITAL, then the DJI FPV Kit or the DJI AVATA Kit are excellent, because the FPV Digital Goggles can be used with all the PRO FPV Drones on the market and a BEGINNER can fly either drone in NORMAL Mode right out of the box with no skills.

I hear you, but thankfully I don’t need to spend $800 for practice devices. I have so many hobbies if I did that I would be broke. I started immediately with bind and fly’s, and I never had any of those issues you listed. I would never recommend this to beginner pilots.

@TomsPropertyCare 2 месяца назад

@@dangerous8333 You've clearly never lost a quad in an unfamiliar area or done long range if you don't have a need to tell you where its at. 🤣 It's hard to recommend the DJI FPV in 2024 with how dated the camera is. For the right price I'd recommend it to a novice that's not ready for manual flight simply to flick back into a stabilized mode, something Beta flight's not really good at with GPS yet.

@pickledpeppers1577 2 месяца назад

I have two of the FPVs and an Avata and love them all. I'm certainly no FPV racer/stunter as I would wager a large percentage of us are and these drones are a perfect fit. The immersion/sense of flight with the goggles and impressive video (more so on the Avata) checks the boxes for me. Note: Mini Pro 3 and 4 along with Air 3 are now compatible with Goggles and motion controller (which is a fantastic and intuitive way to fly imo).

I just enjoy true fpv drones. No need to get upset my man. I guess saying I hate it is the wrong word to use as well. I'd consider getting one if I could get it cheap. I enjoy testing out drones that do something different than all the rest 😊 I already got a mini and fpv drones so it wouldn't really bring anything new to the table for me and it's really fragile so that's why it's a no go for me

Captain My Captain - Awesome review! This was my first venture into FPV and I still fly it routinely. While it gets bashed I like it to take it out when I haven't flown in awhilw and need to shake off the cobwebs. Also here in windy Colorado it takes the winds a bit better. When I first started my ventures up into the mountains I found that this drone helped build my confidence flying the high peaks. Finally, I don't have to worry about having to worry about Remote ID compliance with it. Yes, it flys like a pig, but it's my pig and I like it! Thanks for what you do and keep doing it.

@johnhoover3345 2 месяца назад

I've had my DJI FPV for well over two years and I consider it a blast to fly especially with the motion controller. I was into FPV with the Fat Shark style goggles years back but I never developed the skills to fly in ACRO mode, it was a dummied down version. I could do flips and rolls effortlessly and that was good enough for me knowing the cost of replacing the Quad. These first Gen DJI goggles were the reason I bought this. Amazing. Thanks for the video. Fly in warmer weather next time, I'd like to see the thawed river!

@GregsMakerCorner 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video! I just dusted my DJI FPV drone off and flew it this past week. It's still a great drone for many of the reasons you showed! I normally fly my own home built drones, but it's hard to get really good video (especially with a stable hover) compared to a DJI Drone. My biggest complaint is that DJI is overly aggressive and makes you get approval for a lot of class G air space in the US (if there is a small rural airport, helipad, etc.). Drone Hacks are a great way to get around this. One of the big downsides to this drone is the weight, and in the US you need a remote ID as of March 14, 2024 to fly legally. DJI does have some capability with the latest firmware to enable a remote ID broadcast, but it comes at the expensive of requiring internet access and you goggles tethered to a phone. I decided to buy a stand alone (holybro) remoteID which can easily be velcro'd to the top.

@Sonic_Ox 2 месяца назад

I've never owned a DJI quad but it occurs to me that a lot of us DIY quad builders, especially us cinematic guys, spend a lot of time and money trying to get our quads to perform like DJI quads lol. I've built a 7" DIY analog with GPS etc and I'm almost finished with a digital 3.5" cinewhoop with 03 Air Unit and Integra goggles and it's REALLY fun and satisfying to build my own. BUT I'd probably be money ahead and have better performance (for my flying style) if I'd just started with DJI. There are however a lot of things I don't like about DJI as a company. Mostly their proprietary nature and the difficulty in repairing their products yourself. Thanks for another great review Steve. Happy flying amigo. 🍻

@Dronyankyvictor 10 дней назад

Greetings, I am looking for drones for their load capacity. The ones I have more or less visualized are the DJI Air 3 and the Fimi its 350 grams for the x8 pro

@Dronyankyvictor 10 дней назад

I would like your opinion. It really always ends up being an adaptation and I do not have the experience of having used the three equipment. The only thing I have used is mini equipment and I want to improve the work we are doing by increasing the weight capacity and availability of the drone at all times. For the service as such, the service is a donation that I make of medicines to a health center that is very close, but my status as less valid, I cannot do it personally and when I have sent the medicines, they are not distributed equally with the feeling of good use.

I give em some basic instructions, get em in the air, tell em to fly over power poles (not between em, as it can't see wires) and pretty much set em loose on their own.

I got into FPV before I spent a lot of money and time researching bought the best even started with emaxx tinyhawk 2s. Was great with little one then took off with my 5 inch I punched up never saw again extremely too fast analog was all we had then only a few ago too. But the biggest problem is technology in fpv gear flies faster then the drone soo much new tech every week/ month then Dji and few others got digital and I got out but still have everything even brand new batteries. So I got a DJI mini Pro recently.

The gps is very good with return to home, tried it flying over hilly terrain last time going 1.5km away in manual was great fun zooming round hills and doing twists and loops, but wah! Only got 6mins out of it before battery very low. Now what happened I put it into return to home, it managed to get to 20meters of me then went into forced landing but before it got half way down from 100m altitude I lost signal completely and thought battery was dead and it dropped, however when I got to where it landed it was in one piece, no damage and when I checked the SD recording it had landed softly under power and still had enough juice to record me walking up to it even though it had lost connection with goggles, (no obstacles blocking signal involved) although when I pressed the battery check button there were no lights on. I recharged that battery, seems ok, no warnings come up, in your opinion would it be safe to use that battery again or should I hover test it first just to be sure?. Well like EV’s it’s still the battery that is biggest problem love to fly fast with acrobatics but at least 30mins like, not 5 to 7min if lucky. The battery time left when flying that drone in manual is a risky bet apart from that still like it and they are cheap to replace going for £179 on ebay people selling them off drone only in like brand new condition why cheaper than just 03 camera on its own, some have even modded it.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 2 месяца назад

The battery should still be good because DJI builds a low voltage cut off into the battery. It may take a couple of charges before it returns to peak performance. You’ll know when flying, because if a battery cell has been damaged it just won’t give you full power at full speed.

Just updated mine yesterday to the latest firmware, and now manual mode is wonky, and yes I saw that the switch defaulted back to sport on setting 3. Thinking maybe it didn’t like an airport like 5-10 miles away…? Or something about set a screw tighter but not a consistent warning . So I think they must have added several conditions that are/could prohibit manual mode. I have used manual mode in this location many times before, no problems. Anyone else?

I've got mine upto 95 for a hot sec or two! I don't think it's much faster thou but I do love my props

Excellent 3 year review Steve, I have two of these, highly recommend this heavy beast when flying in the mountains like here in Oregon unexpected gusts of wind will come up and all you won’t see much of an impact on this drone like you would if flying the mini 4 pro; The fpv has great features and with one I have the dji Mimo connected to it with motion controller I AND is simply amazing WITH integra goggles. I do enjoy the mini 4 pro with the motion controller 2 and goggles too as a result of that option I purchased a mini 4 pro instead of the Avata, I enjoy the master air screw props the ones Steve initially showed are great for highest speed if a gusty day I will go with the heavier master air screw props, yes the batteries are expensive and they should design the fpv series to use a compatible battery for years in my opinion. Note: I saw thru dji dealers a chart showing compatible motion controllers the Motion controller 2 is currently not compatible with DJI fpv I think many have updated that information. I recommend the Startrc foldable landing gear for the fpv also

Those props are faulty in cold weather that exact set I have had them fail in flight many times

@mattalford3932 2 месяца назад

It's funny that this video came out today because I just bought the avata pro view fly more combo yesterday. It's perfect because it bridges the gap between camera drone and FPV drone. And is durable, unlike the last dji fpv drone

Respectfully please clarify when what you are saying is just opinion and based on your own skill. Because I definitely go through small holes and dodge power lines with my DJI fpv. But that was the only fpv I used for a while.

It feels like Avata is a better FPV drone than this FPV drone. Sold it because I mostly fly Pavo20 these days but still missed that flying bus. Also, looks like Avata batteries don't have the frost penalty - with smooth cruising I was getting around 16 min at =10C.

@stevefpv4669 2 месяца назад

As far as I'm concerned, as to downsides of this drone, the big elephant in the room that's barely discussed in reviews is the remote control. I'd use it far more often if I could bind it to one of my fav remote controls. There's always this second guessing going on that just doesn't allow me to enjoy flying it like my other fpv quads. I find this RC is generally ill conceived also. I know this is purely subjective and about stick time on this dji rc but it kills my motivation to add stick time all together.

@scotthines5834 2 месяца назад

Excellent video. My only additional comment would be how well this drone flies in manual mode in very high wind. No it doesn't fly as well as my other fpv drones but I still love this thing. I fly it out in the mountains where no one's around. It's perfect for a cliff diving. I think the onboard 4k camera is pretty good although not as good as a GoPro. What I most like most about it is if you lose connection it will come home.

@RealNaisuCinema 17 дней назад

1:52 that’s just simply not true though lol. You can use manual mode which doesn’t have obstacle avoidance which is weird because at the bottom of the screen you have “my complaints refer to flying in manual mode” obstacle avoidance is only for certain modes and I don’t remember but I’m pretty sure you can turn it off for those as well

@CAPTAINDRONE798 17 дней назад

The point is… there is no such thing as an FPV Drone with obstacle avoidance installed.

@RealNaisuCinema 17 дней назад

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes but you said you were referring to manual mode and I don’t want people to be mislead into thinking they’ll have to deal with obstacle avoidance while trying to fly in manual mode. That could be a dealbreaker for some people unnecessarily since it doesn’t actually come into play if you’re flying in manual mode.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 17 дней назад

@@RealNaisuCinemaha ha, anyone on this planet that would think obstacle avoidance exists in Acro/Manual mode is 100% not ready for Manual/Acro. I think most clued into what I was saying as I’ve said the same thing many times over since the release of the DJI FPV years ago.

For the life of me, I cannot get the Remote ID # out of this thing...all I ever see under status is that RID is active. Is this because it uses the Fly app? There is no reliable resource online to get the answer.

@parallax_aerial_photography 2 месяца назад

This was my first FPV drone and it taught me a lot. I now have a bunch of real FPV quads that fly much better and I've finally decided to sell the DJI (only the drone) but it was still a pretty tough decision even though I haven't flown it in a long time...

@DanielBerke 2 месяца назад

I don't own one, but it's partly what got me into drone flying. In mid/late 2020 I started seeing more drone videos on RU-vid, and while I hadn't paid much attention to drones before I started getting interested in the possibilities from a cinematic viewpoint. Then the DJI FPV came out and I was really excited to see a "beginner friendly" FPV drone and the videos people were making with it (and other FPV drones), though financially I couldn't afford it at the time. A few years and a change in situation later and I now have a Mini 3 Pro and an Avata and have uploaded a few of my own videos using them. :)

@CAPTAINDRONE798 2 месяца назад

Great! Glad to hear your FPV journey has commenced

@DanielBerke 2 месяца назад

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks! Your videos on the Avata were really helpful to me, as I ultimately held off until the Integra Goggles and Motion Controller 2 came out last year, since they addressed some of the issues I had with the headset and controller available at launch. I definitely enjoy flying FPV, though I have yet to brave the world of Manual Mode. :)

Unfortunately physics is not on your side. Weight of drone plus short arms is working against a well tuned beast.

it's not a well tuned beast if u didn't tweak it though drone hack software . but not many done that.
