I put together this how-to video on setting up the DJI FPV motion controller, and included my first flight with it. It's a ton of fun, and way easier to pick up and fly than I had expected. It's remarkably intuitive and makes flying feel more natural and immersive, though it will take some getting used to for me to be completely comfortable with this input method. I do have a few complaints though, it's really easy to hit the record button by accident (hence why the footage from the drone picks up midway through the flight!), and it was pretty annoying having to bind the controller to my account and activate it. Overall though, this controller is pretty cool. I'll be making a review video about it when I've had a chance to really get to grips with it.

Are you kidding me? The very first action he did was WRONG! You ALWAYS turn on the remote controller first, THEN the aircraft (unless you have the props off). This is R/C 101 basics.... and you wonder why people have fly-aways and accidents!

You need to learn the basics of RC safety before you post videos instructing others - see my post above

I really don't see the issue here, and certainly not one deserving of such an explosive reaction (guess your profile pic is appropriate lol). I do typically power on the controller first, but only to save battery power in the drone, though sometimes I'll do it the opposite way so that I'm not waiting as long for it to aquire GPS, kind of depends on location, but it really doesn't matter. I also regularly power on drones on my desk with no controller attached in order to transfer files. To my knowledge there is no risk, maybe with old drones or home built FPV rigs, but I haven't flown either.
