DJI FPV Drone Beginners Guide | Getting Ready For First Flight

[@youmertz]

Fantastic tutorial. No BS, no fluff, just clear and concise information. Well done!

[@wagonroad534]

Whow! What a trip! The learning phase is long, so the info has to be studied just like a college course. The flight is amazing; takes me back to my cockpit years as a Naval Aviator. The goggles cause me to lose my balance, so I must sit; but that's standard for an 88 year old guy. Kudows to DJI for producing such an amazing drone.

[@cnmove]

Wow 88 years old, man you are what keeps me going. Honestly, because people like you always having fun and doing what you love no matter what age you are! Keep it up man!

[@4theloveoftech]

6 minutes in and live already learned more than I did from watching all the DJI videos. Great Job! 👍

[@hectorarenas950]

Nice video men 👏👏👍🏼thank you for that 🎉

[@Hells_Gate]

Thi is by far the best tutorial video ever, I havnt even finished, you say all the batteries need updating for firmware, this is vital info that none of the other vids I have seen have ever told me. Excellent job on this vid man!!!!!

[@tommyers1106]

Finally finally I found someone that knows how to explain things!

[@jasonschmidt8194]

By far, the most informative and to-the-point video that I have watched in a long while. Highly recommend it to anyone starting out with the DJI FPV. Thanks for this!

[@TheMichaelBeck]

Great video! I had a DJI Mavic Pro and DJI goggles along with extra batteries and other equipment I donated to the brave men and women of Ukrainian Air Reconnaissance Unit. They sent me video of them thanking me for it and also of being used in action. I used to fly it with goggles on in "airplane mode" and loved it so I just got a new DJI FPV drone. I appreciate your tutorial. I'll stick to N & S mode until I've had lots of time on the simulator. From an American Army veteran and drone enthusiast, Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸🤜🤛🇺🇦

Good man! Slava Ukraini!

Awesome review very detail, Greetings from Malaysia 👌👌👌

[@terryketcham6199]

Just received my Remote Controller 2 , looked all over to download the manual or tutorials on the functions and buttons on the controller but never could find what I needed to know. Then thought id look thru Air Photography’s videos and sure enough , I found exactly the video I was looking for . I should have looked here in the first place. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you so much. I’m glad you found it helpful

[@Billyjoe978]

Amazing video, watching this is making me excited to get mine. Buying a fpv tomorrow 😊

[@Wesablo]

Excellent video. You have a very soothing way of speaking. Tyvm.

[@kenspaceman3938]

Thanks for a nice beginner’s tutorial on the very basics on starting out with this drone. I highly appreciate it. Greetings from Finland!

[@AirPhotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johndtaylor2]

Outstanding video. Just received my FPV. Your video is succinct, to the point, and thorough. This video reviewed everything I needed to know for a successful first flight. Greatly appreciate the well produced video.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@academiaginastica]

perfect!!!! very god!

[@galimirnund6543]

I just went out today and flew mine.... very much a beginner and a little intimidated by using the goggles. But, it was fun....I did some circles and some messy figure 8's... hope the weather keeps getting better. And oh, this thing zings through the air man... like woosh. It was cool!!

[@nq0amark138]

This is one of the best beginner DJI FPV videos I have watched so far, and I have watched a bunch, lol ! Coming from the camera drone platform I'm really looking forward to getting into the fpv side of flying, and this is the perfect drone to help me transition. Great stuff, and I did subscribe ! Cheers from Moab Utah.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed it. And welcome aboard

[@Valisk]

Hey, thanks so much man. That was really useful.

[@travisrieck1849]

Thinking about picking one up pretty soon I feel like I have a small leg up with owning a couple mavics just wanted to have a good overview of the system and setup. Such a great video and very informative. Subscribed for sure!

[@lovellsmith37]

I own 3 fpv drones and still learning great video

[@FlyZoneFpv]

Awesome video Sean 👍🏼 you just do it very well brother. Love your Content. Keep it up bro

[@michaillouvranos293]

I am planning ti buy it next week! Thank you very informative video!

[@jacobdejesus4690]

VERY WELL EXPLAINED

[@craigb3980]

Thank you for posting this video. I couldn’t get the controller to work with the simulator out of the box. Downloading the dji fly app turning on first the goggles with phone then controller and last I had to power on the drone and the app auto asked to update the firmware that made it finally work with the dji fpv simulator

[@yungerallenelectricalcontr6415]

Outstanding Video man ! I really gained a lot of knowledge from this video! I just got this drone and I was intimidated of it until this video.

[@kenneygb39]

This is great info I bought mine and have been trying to figure out how to power it on . Now I know .

[@horntoadfpv9113]

This is the most complete video I've seen on this product.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

WOWZERS. Everyone should watch this. Even seasoned pilots. Great job... Mikey

[@melted_cheetah]

Thank you for this! Very clear, detailed and more helpful that DJI's guides.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for this Shawn. It has really helped me get started with my FPV drone.

[@AirPhotography]

That’s great Marcus I’m glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your new drone, you’re gonna have a lot of fun with it

[@joshgamingyt9766]

I bought it purely for having fun!

[@joyboy1722]

do you regret it my friend? i just ordered mines

[@joseelizondo7251]

That's pretty good video, I just bought one and I haven't start it yet waiting for a video like this one

[@pauldeacon8764]

That was a really, really good beginners guide for this drone! 😀👍

[@pauldeacon8764]

You know the accessories for strengthening the arms on the drone! What are they called please?? 😀👍

[@dutchdronedimension6703]

thx for info, i think this gonna be my next DJI

[@marcstewart1967]

Thanks for the info! I just ordered it yesterday! This will definitely help me get started!

[@simplysunmoon]

Thank you ❤️☀️🌙

[@wavvycrockett]

Thank you, I couldn't get it off the ground until I saw this video lol... I just slammed the propellers on and never noticed they were color coded.

[@lloydallen7280]

13:45 says we can get dji fly from Google Play? At this time (5/27/2021) I think we Android users still have to download the apk and directly install the app.

[@LexTalionis6]

If theirs one thing I don't like, you need to update the firmware just to fly. I've done everything but update and still not able to fly it. That's something I love about the Typhoon H series, you don't need to update anything, just pair your transmitter and fly

[@jocelynlarabie2647]

Thanks Sean. On the fence for a buy!!

[@riverskic5367]

Thank you for your awesome tutorial. Questions: 1. Is there any required calibration before starting to fly? coz i have my old flying drone but need calibration first before gets start to fly like turn clockwise 3x then upside down 3x something like that. 2. How will the FPV drone knows the origin place when you press the H? Thank you for your answer.

[@mikekuun]

Thanks for a very informative video, I have been looking for DJI FPV beginner video's and none of them have included a lot of what you mentioned. Loved the flight demo, learned a lot from that. Just bought one of these, used, from a friend, so dying to try it out! Nice video!

[@epoweredrc]

Very nice video, I just ordered one of these and your video is helpful to someone new to it. I fly RC planes and helicopters and own a DJi mini SE and had a Spark but this stuff is different.. I also watched your unboxing video.

[@tonygee3284]

Hi there I find you videos so easy to understand great work Sean Subscribed to your site its Great.

[@cineverseproductions]

Great video.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lynsmith1096]

Good video and tutorial Shaun.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@addy677]

This video is on point, hope dji is paying you. Thank you so much bro. I think the drone should come with a link to this video

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@zeeb696]

This was a great video! I think it can get my dumb self going! Thanks a lot.

[@cartercalibrations]

Absolutely very well done !!!!!!! Thank you

[@kooolabo]

Niceeee! very informative!

[@Bingbingo1919]

Thank you very much, it was a very useful video, I just bought this and learned a lot from this video, I have a question! Can the FPV drone lens be upgraded? And is there a better quality lens, because I am a photographer! And my next question is, is it possible to get permission to photograph some buildings in the city?

[@harmymd]

Oh this is nice...I hurt myself pretty badly coz I didn't know how to land when I first took off...I had to catch the drone by hand and it was such a struggle...the drone became so aggressive and almost decapitated me...after almost 5mins of a heated fight with the drone, I managed to pull out the battery. Wish I had seen this video first.

[@simon4runner]

thank you

[@headstashmusic3897]

do you have your sticks set up backwards? I just got a DJI and am watching tutorials and thought the left stick was for up down, and look left or right, but you were flying it completely with the left stick at first. thanks

[@ilanmeiri1]

excellent video and good explanation

[@bdrohnfpv]

Great video! Thank you!

[@ukgardener973]

Thanks!

[@cisereo]

That was really good!

[@betes1]

abslueltly fantastic video, thank you

[@christianbrown2248]

I thought with the manual mode you have to change the gimbal to like the fpv throttle down in the back of the radio?

[@robertalexander3797]

Absolutely well presented (as usual) on the FPV drone. Would you please consider doing another with using the motion controller. It is a trip that all should experience. thanks again

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. And yeah that’s a good idea about motion controller tutorial

[@jeffzerbe5623]

I noticed you are tuning using the left stick only in Normal mode. What is the right stick left and right used for in Normal mode?

[@jwrcolombia]

Excellent Video. I just bought mine and its on its way. I am bookmarking to watch again once it gets here. How is it flying in an urban environment with some decently tall buildings? Is the range still decent?

[@Ryuudo123]

good video, thank.

[@chamilewickramanayake6278]

Thank you! This is very helpful.

[@NasrafRekcos]

Just want to say thank you for a calm, quick & detailed beginners guide. Very helpful and to the point. Will sub and check out your other vids. just curious, what setup do you have for making this video? I'm interested in creating similar but more hobby model building & painting content. Thank you again, awesome quality, great calm voice 10/10.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much. My set up is extremely minimal and simple. I film all my videos with an iPhone, with a microphone plugged into it into simple little LED lights above me. I actually made a video of my filming set up earlier this year you can search back through my videos. It might be helpful for you.

[@beaulac1]

Nice vidéo ! Is it possible to put the batteries back into hibernation for the winter?

[@AirPhotography]

They will automatically do that on their own as they are a smart battery

[@beaulac1]

@@AirPhotography Thank You!

[@modeamity]

Thanks bro I was just staring at mine.

[@tkulbaco]

Thank you. It's very helpful.

[@VideoLife_FPV_Wild]

Thanks for the very helpful video. I am very disappointed with one detail; it seems that the batteries cannot be charged via a portable battery. I have a DJI Mini 2 and I charge the batteries with a portable battery, and as I often record while traveling, I don't have access to electricity ... Am I right or am I wrong (I would be glad to be wrong) ....?

[@milad102]

thanks for this video can i ask a question? I want to know if 'dji fpv' can film vertically from the ground?

[@Nick-Antoniou]

Great review 👍🏻

[@scotthugins7672]

mine came without a SD card so went through activaton without one, thanks DJ. your video was very helpful !!

[@169494]

None of the dji drone comes with a sd cards pre-installed

[@peterkortvel]

I bought a second hand dji fpv and during lift of it just flipped to the side instead of going up. My propellers were installed correctly. any thoughts? Thank you!

[@thetruthwithtrevor]

Got the dji fpv fly more kit. Did all firmware updates. I can't get my goggles to recognize everything or go into the setup mode where it registers with dji??? Everything else seems to be perfect. So confused. It takes a PhD to get this going. LOL

[@JTuesday]

Excellent video, very informative. Thanks for the walk around the steps.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@Kevin-qi1qf]

Great job on this video

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you!

[@jwrcolombia]

i followed your exact steps....new FPV out of the box. I havent even powered up the drone itself yet. When I am going through the menu to use the app I get to the " power up and connect your controller " part. My controller just keeps flashing the 4 green lights. How do I get this controller paired up???

[@watchingeye5435]

Very very good

[@ColoBeauPhotog]

Great content and quality production. Just ordered mine and excited to get flying. Question, do the goggles work on other DJI products such as the Air 2S?

[@paulharris7660]

only work with fpv drones. Will work with Avata

[@ColoBeauPhotog]

@@paulharris7660 Can the goggles bind to multiple aircraft such as a home built FPV and my FPV? Of course not at the same time hahaha

[@paulharris7660]

@@ColoBeauPhotog the googles will bind with a digital output

[@jwdonal]

Been loving this drone. Thinking about taking the leap onto the full/real remote controller instead of just the motion controller. :) One thing I can't seem to find online or in the PDF user guides is any description or definition of what each of the icons mean in the goggles OSD. Does anybody know where I could find that? Some of the icons are obvious but some aren't. For example, I have one little red icon on the bottom but I don't know what it means. It would be nice if DJI provided a legend somewhere for all the icons. It must exist somewhere right?

[@mr.j-rcs822]

How do you start and stop? I started it and pressed everything and the motors would not stop..after 10 mins they stopped on their own?

[@asafgold9801]

Yo can you send the links for the cases and bags?

[@dcrcrocks8005]

You didn't have a spotter? Or you don't need one on private land? Also can you program button on remote to turn spot light on

[@AirPhotography]

Yes you always have to have a spotter. As soon as in the air weather on private land or not you still have to follow your countries regulations.
