This quad is phenomenal in your hands. It flys so nice indoors as well as outside. The 03 system looks great. Like you, I don’t see the need for mounting an external camera. I like the wide perspective especially when flying FPV. To me it enhances my peripheral vision for obstacles that might be lurking there. Thanks for the review👍👍👨‍🦳

Well done Captain Beard (AKA Captain Drone) !!; yes, the Beard is back !!!!! My Wife really does think it suits you !!!; what a superb little beast !!!; for us newbees to this this style of flying; could you explain the options for controllers ? (I have looked at a number of different ones however just trying to short cicuit the options) last but not least, I see Mr Owley is alive and "Well" !!!!!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

A BIG thank you to your wife for the nice compliment! If you wish to buy a controller (called a RADIO in the RC Hobby, but DJI calls it a controller and confuses everyone), you have to first pick what RECEIVER you will use for ever and ever. So in the FPV hobby, the best receiver for range that is not expensive is ELRS. So when you order a drone you order it with an ELRS receiver. This means the RADIO in your hands must also be ELRS. So you could go on RADIOMASTER or the JUMPER store and order an ELRS radio (the yellow one in my hands in this video is the RADIOMASTER BOXER).

Oh and one more thing can you use the betafpv controller with the dji google with it or the boxer 14

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The controller (also called a RADIO in most hobbies) works with a compatible RECEIVER. So if you have an ELRS RECEIVER in a drone, you can then use any ELRS RADIO on planet earth.

[@Jevintheexorcist]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah but can the betafpv controller one work with this drone and with the dji goggles

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@ I think you are mixing things up. FPV GOGGLES work with the video signal, so if the signal is DJI DIGITAL then DJI FPV GOGGLES work. RECEIVERS work with compatible RADIOS, so if you have a certain radio and it is compatible with the receiver, it will work. GOGGLES and a RADIO are two separate things in the FPV hobby.

This is the DJI O3 system, so that means you need DJI FPV Goggles (like the DJI FPV Goggles 2). For a RADIO, you simple match a RADIO to the RECEIVER, so in this video I ordered the drone with an ELRS RECEIVER, which means I can only then fly it with an ELRS RADIO.

The PAVO20 is a VERY DIFFERENT FPV Drone. I’ve only flown the PAVO with a temporary camera that I placed in it, so flight experience is based on that. It does not fly at all like the HUMA20.

[@DISABLED12-7]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you. I have the Pavo20 Pro and as a newbie, I find it a bit too responsive for my skill level. I can't even get mine to hover in place, it keeps trying to fly backwards and any correction makes it take off in the input direction. Would this be an easier drone to learn on?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@DISABLED12-7 No, not at all. To fly properly it takes skill, so you’d have to work on that (practice on a flight sim). Not everyone can fly an FPV Drone because the brain to hand to eye coordination is not there, or it is there but it is much too slow. This is why DJI and their drones like the AVATA 1 and AVATA 2 exist. You can fly them in NORMAL and SPORT mode with GPS and OPTICAL FLOW and BAROMETER enabled. The drone just sits still in the air while you decide where to fly to next.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@Tony770jr Buy the one that costs the least because as a beginner you have a greater than 50% odds of destroying the drone as you attempt to learn to fly. You can avoid that by practicing on FPV Flight sims until you feel confident. Now please don’t ask me about flight sims… flight sims are for beginners so I honestly don’t know which ones are out there to learn on.

They're very different, each have their advantages. For a true acro mode experience like the FPV guys talk about, durability, and repairability, this drone (HUMA 20) is better. DJI's Avata 2 has a better camera (new "04" system with a camera that everyone is hoping will be the one that releases with the "04 air unit" next year). The Avata 2 also has some amazing autopilot features, but is louder, more expensive, and heavier (not sub-250). Honestly I want both! Thank you for your question. Peace and Love from RI, USA

You bought the drone without a camera??? People that do that know how to install a DJI 03 system in it. It is super simple to do because the cable to the DJI 03 is pretty much standard and connects nicely to most Flight Controllers (you need the cable of course). Then you simple change the UARTS if need be and if you plan to use a different RECEIVER like ELRS you set it up for that or use the PNP DJI option if you have the DJI FPV Remote.
