In my opinion, it seems unlikely that the DJI Flip will ever receive a firmware update to enable FPV functionality for the goggles. The folding propellers present a significant vulnerability, as they could fold during sharp or aggressive maneuvers. This would not only compromise stability but also put the 3-axis gimbal at risk of damage, especially during high-speed or sharp turns. It feels like a design limitation that makes FPV support impractical for this model.
I'd agree that FPV support might not be added to the Flip.
That said, not all FPV flights are done as racing, or even freestyling. The Avata series are good for cinematic FPV flights only due to its low durability (doesn't stop people from trying to freestyle with it, of course). The Flip should have no risk of its props getting folded with something like the RC Motion Controller, which the Mini 4 Pro only supports in FPV mode anyway.
As I've realised that the Flip has a 24mm lens rather than the 12-14mm lenses in DJI's FPV series, it wouldn't really work well as a replacement for even the Neo, as I originally anticipated.
The only reasons for FPV mode then would be to have a fairly immersive flight experience, or to fly under extreme brightness. They are still good reasons and I'd definitely prefer to have the options, but with the camera as it is, this can't be a replacement for the Neo. |
