Let's talk about the DJI FPV Drone!

Very cool - thanks for sharing

Hello there DAFlys. Thank you for reaching out and for posting this video you have came upon here at DJI Forum. Have a safe and a happy flying always.

Seems like a good way to get you into FPV!

Certainly might be but I doubt its under 250 grams.

I suspect its going to be very $$$$

Though I think FPV is very cool it';s not something I'll get into myself. All the crashing will stress me out. 1 every 5 years is enough for me

Except a home built FPV drone is much more repairable than a MA2.

Thats true - though I've never soldered anything in my life.

Always time to learn.  Its not that hard,  desoldering stuff is much harder.

I'll have to give it a try

That would be my guess too!

Plus it is hard to find a place in NL where you will be allowed to fly with these

I thought you had a lot of farm land over there?

You have, but you need to keep a minimum distance of 150m from man made objects.
So that means at least a field of 1000x 500 or so if you want to have any room for flying.
There are fields like that of course, but it will depend on where you live if that is close by.

This could be fun. I really like flying FPV

I'd like to learn but have other priorities at the moment and I would want to go the kit route so at least I could fix it.

I fly a lot of Micro ones. really cheap and made for crashing.

Search for tiny whoops, I fly them in the house on rainy days. This is a quick
way to learn.

I predicty that his will fly off the shelves as possibly one of the "I have got to have that for Xmas" main gifts this year or whenever it's released. Obviously, like all DJI products on release, it will be like rocking horse.......to get hold of initially. At least DJI have waited till the best version of the FW has been developed. As a FPV pilot, the 50MB update has revolutionised the hobby. To start off with the FW was flakey to say the least. I know one more than one pilot who actually went back to analog as it was unflyable. V4 was a big step in the right direction with V5 was a step back in a lot of respects and then came V6. The penetration, range and sheer quality of images is breath taking the 1st time you fly in HD. Sadly, this is possibly a pro level FPV quadcopter and the 1st time it is bailed into something, will be rendered useless. I dread to think about the repair costs for this.....What I cannot understand is why not release a full on FPV racer/freestyle rig with the parts that are already available ? They have been on the site for ages - https://store.dji.com/uk/product-search?q=fpv with Mr Steele and Stingy testing them quite some time ago now. It would be interesting to see why they have gone down this route with a totally new design. I would also like to point out that the FPV community is showing a lot more interest in the FPV Goggle V2 than the drone/quadcopter. The main grumble point about the Goggle V1 is the sheer amount of light leakeage reported. Obviously people have different shaped heads etc, but lets hope that the V2 eliminates some of this leakage. Personally I am one of the lucky ones and only have slight leakage around the bridge of the nose. It cetainly doesn't affect the flight experience or the view in the screens.

I'm quite taken with the whoops.     - just saw a review for cheap eachine goggles today.

Those were my first set of goggles. Change the antenna and
enjoy the ride.

They were very inexpensive around £45 and the screen unclipped from the front and could be used separately.
