SWAN K1 PRO - DJI FPV version - So Sweet!

[@noonespecific9463]

I would be lost in the drone world without this channel, this is where you come to compare and decide what you are going to buy, because it’s all here with the needed info to help you decide, it’s really hard to know what to buy, you really do make all that deciding part much less taxing on the brain. That thing is really cool. That DJI system is very very cool.

Thank you!

K1 Swan became really popular so fastly because of its various amazing features it has! It will be surely amazing to see everything with eyes that the drone is seeing with its camera by the DJI goggles!

its also the only sort of innovating one around, as far as i remember its the only exciting drone this year

[@juki6377]

@@FahadKhan_3007 i'm not too attached to brands, so DJI FPV yeah its a consumer fpv drone, not really special when you fly fpv already, the SE was just the mini targetting lower budget regions (cf captain drone's video)- the nano and lite are just smaller/affordable versions, sure some of us can now buy them thats great but flying wise ZzZZZZzz

regarding the swan K1 with dji Caddx Air Unit - does the dji camera installed instead of the default camera? Do you see video on the RC screen - or only in the goggles ? do the goggles connect to the flight controller OSD or do you use the skydroid default receiver ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The DJI CAMERA replaces the usual camera so you no longer get a video feed on your controller. The goggles connect to the CADDX AIR UNIT and there currently is no OSD feedback.

Got my FPV version of the Swan. Had to watch your video again to get some more details. Hopefully, you got credit from my purchase. I made sure that I told them several time it was because of your review that I purchased it. I have been flying off and on RTF planes for a couple of years. I’m trying to figure out how to get my Swan out of Novice mode. It says it needs a map down loaded from a WI-FI connection. Geez lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Cool! Hope all is going well and you have had your first flight.

[@BrianBetron]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes, I have been flying in Novice mode to get used to it. It is kind of nerve racking. I’m worried about crashing it. I’m trying to figure out how to download maps right now so I can get out of Novice mode. I’m such a newbie. Lol

[@uavzdronesolutions8631]

Thanks for this Review ,great video! This is way-point capable I presume?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, but I believe you have to install an app for that.

[@dkieng]

Thanks for the video. For the FPV camera on the Swan K1, are you using the DJI Air unit camera or the Swan stock camera? I mod my Swan K1 with DJI Air unit as well but I have my Air unit mounted on the outside of the Air frame. I found the Air Unit over heated very quickly when I mounted on the inside of the air frame like you did. The over heating happens when I have the Swan K1 on the ground before take and I'm waiting to get satellite locks on the Swan.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Mine was installed straight from the factory. If you purchase the Digital version, it comes as shown in this vid. It does get hot for sure, so I usually fly the plane around for a couple of passes before plugging in my goggles. The FPV unit is cooled by then.

[@SgtJamesRay]

Lol I got the same problem. Hot is an understatement for where I am.

[@theNEWTful]

Good vid. I'm surprised the Tx doesn't overheat. No vid on the remote, but it must show telemetry?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, you see a big map of the area you are flying and an icon for your SWAN as it flies around and telemetry is all around it.

[@DrNYUegz204]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Nice videos btw. -respect. To my knowledeg the transmission from the remote to the plane itself ranges up to 12 km, whereas the connection from the FPV googles to the camera within the drone itself is only stable up to 5km. Do you have any solution on how to improve transmission range btw Google and plane camera, maybe to build in another camera into the plane?

[@noonespecific9463]

You get that digital fpv system if you buy the DJI fpv, is that correct? I need a new drone, considering that DJI FPV. I crashed my Evo, ripped camera off of the gimbal, gimbal still tries to work, and the drone flies perfectly, but no camera. I have 4 nearly new batteries and the fancy charging hub. Autel won’t even respond to an inquiry on the cost of a new camera. I hate to waste shipping it to them only to find out it’s not worth the cost to repair it. I don’t want the digital system for the Evo, but I am very interested in fpv in general. I figured that system will work with any fpv , like your using it here. I know an Evo and the DJI fpv are radically different. Stabilized camera drones certainly have their place and I miss my Evo terribly, I do want to go beyond just smooth level flight and simulated banking with a regular drone.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The unit shown in this video is the one they sell with the DJI FPV Goggles and DJI AIR UNIT in the SWAN (comes ready to fly).

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, but just remember that your DJI Goggles, out of the box, are set to the Camera Drone hobby and you need to go into the menu of your goggles to the ABOUT tab and change it to the RC FPV Hobby (it is worded differently, but you'll figure it out).

Love it....I missed it....now when is the giveaway? 😋 My Parrot Disco needs a companion. I do wish there was away that you could get the digital video feed on the controller vs having to rely on Goggles...you don't always have a spotter with you plus the entry price would be a bit less expensive if you didn't have to buy the Goggles upfront....and yes I know you could go with analog but I don't do analog..that's soooooooooo 2019. 😉 Also it would nice if you had an option to fly this with 4G like the Parrot Disco mod when you REALLY need long range flight...I'm jussayin....

I have tried chasing the SWAN with an FPV drone and it all depends on the pilot of the SWAN (in the first vid I attempt a follow with the DJI FPV drone). So far I have not had good luck due to newbie pilots flying the SWAN and changing flight course plans at the incorrect times.

What is the problem with the System having an OSD? For ages DJI FPV had a bare bones basic OSD. I believe it’s better now and functioning pretty well with DJI System and other boards. Now the SWAN has no OSD, but they are working on getting it. What seems to be the issue. I would have thought that this OSD issue should have been rectified a long time ago. It must be nice flying with a clear screen but for me not having a direction home, distance to home, etc etc is a deal breaker. I will just stick to flying my Quad which has a working OSD.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If they used a Flight Controller (F4) unit from any of the major brands than OSD would be there and you'd be able to set it up in Betaflight. However, their telemetry system does not come from an F4 flight controller and it is not setup in Betaflight, so that is currently the issue.
