Besides the robot that shoots and is programmable?  Can DJI make 1/5-1/18th scale RC vehicles that utilize the DJI FPV V2 system?  No doubt the DJI FPV drone is far superior to anything ground/water related but it would be cool to be able to use a long-range ground vehicle system where the controls don't cut out at 100m, telemetries would be cool too.

I think it is important DJI get into ground vehicles too.  Look at this.

Submersibles would be cool too.

My preference would be for DJI to release an updated Air Unit which had similar video to the new FPV drone. The Air Unit sends data to a 3rd party flight controller. This same data could be used to control a ground vehicle.

Submersibles would likely require a different system since it's really hard to get radio waves to pass through water. The frequencies used by the FPV drone wouldn't work well if the signal had to pass through water. If the submersible used a tethered buoy, the same system could probably be used.

While range underwater is an issue, so would be the range for a ground vehicle. The video signal of my FPV drone is pretty limited when I fly close to the ground. I've had to increase my elevation many times while flying for this reason. Of course ground vehicles would likely not travel nearly as fast or as far as an aircraft.

In case any of you are unaware, Ardupilot works with surface vehicles. There are lot of fun videos on YouTube showing surface vehicles following waypoint missions. Ardupilot could be used with a DJI Air Unit to make a remote controlled surface vehicle which would also be capable of following waypoint missions.

I think DJI should make a remote controller camera setup for ground or anything else utilizing the camera off the DJI FPV V2 drone.  This way people can control the gimbal tilt of the camera as well as record like how the X3 camera has the microSD built into it.  Kind of like the Osmo Pocket.  It can serve so many purposes to have a low latency feed for the DJI FPV V2 goggles.

If you enter the DJI FPV Simulator and look left at the Table screen you can see a RC CAR that may be a leak to a future product? !?

I've never seen the DJI FPV Simulator, how do you get it to it step by step?  Can you record the RC Car?

I hardly film or take photos of anything anymore.
