Hahaha ok I’m getting ripped apart at my stupid method of spinning the drone around. A lot of great commenters are telling me that you can tilt your wrist from side to side to spin around. Thanks for the heads up everyone!

[@ChrisParayno]

Even potato Jet got it right the first round🤣🤣

[@jpsalis]

It's a very common misconception it seems, rotating your wrist in a yawing motion initially feels more natural, but you'll definitely notice a problem pretty quickly

[@Canyon76]

Ironically you were tilting your wrist a bit in a couple situations and I could tell the turn of the drone was much more fluid than the rigid yaw effect present with just rotating your wrist/body.

[@deanharmse5126]

And rightly so. Have none of you pro drone flyers ever flown an aircraft or flighr sim? All of you look super awkward flying with the motion controller, like stick figures...

[@licencetoswill]

my dudes, rtfm. even nurk did this too.

[@waymorhd]

Tilt your wrist side to side and it will rotate 360

[@billykyle]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Sure beats the heck out of the Flyability Aviator I purchased a few years back. Another notch in DJI's belt with giving us a more immersive experience. Great content as always Billy!

[@JK_cookie00]

That's me when I was still feeling my way around the FPV motion controller!

[@joemoffo9706]

I could never master using both thumbs to fly fpv. With this motion controller, I was flying, banking and moving between trees 10ft off the ground on my second flight. Love it!

[@Theo-dj7vs]

Yes you would. And you just never feel experience unless you and machine act as 1. You cannot get full range of directi9nal control with controller. I've seen people fly with 2 big toes, no arms. Facts.

[@yuujeff1]

Hey Billy I believe you’re wrong about how to do the spin or at least not the most efficient way, so you just twist the controller horizontally to rotate on its axis. Great video Billy once again! See you in the air.

[@rccola5073]

I started flying RC with helicopters, beginning with coaxial, transitioning to fixed pitch, then graduating to collective pitch. Been flying for a few years. In the past year, I switched over to drones, specifically into the Mavic lineup, with the mini and now the MA2, which I love. But I miss the experience of being fully in control and having to rely on your skill alone to fly, as you have to with helicopters. I see myself getting into flying FPV and using the motion controller in the future. You’re really starting to sell me on this machine and the controller. It appears you get to experience that in-control piloting feel, that I crave. Thanks for the informative video. They’re really great!

[@jamesobrien575]

So glad I added the motion controller when I ordered my FPV drone! I might be seeing more features being included in the motion controller in the future!

[@billykyle]

Cool! It's a lot of fun.

[@johnhoover3345]

A buddy of mine just flew his with the handheld for the first time and he was flying like he'd been using it for months. The three of us have Mavics, Inspires, an Evo 2 and Typhoons and smaller FPV Drones. This is an amazing device. I'm considering this. Great video Billy

[@LucasSun-rq5nd]

I swear you did not just say “inspires” with a S as in plural

[@mrrey8937]

Fantastic real time, real life operational tips, thank you very much!!!

[@mktm1290]

This is just totally awesome, I never thought I would live to see tech like this, I’m going to start saving

[@garrickbradley6774]

Sweet review!! Good detail and demonstration.

[@Kovaction]

I just paired and activated my Motion and looking forward to trying it out in a wiiiiiiide open space. Looks like it flies just like a fixed wing plane so sweeping it back around 180º is the ticket. Great review and awesome tips!

[@karthurjr]

Like flying a helicopter using the cyclic. Great control. Very intuitive. That is my oppression. To me much better than the controller when flying FPV for sure. Love the concept.

[@skakpedersen]

"Use the brake button the reposition yourself" I was wondering just about that one. MAN, that was a good trick! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@SinkyYT]

I'm sold. I thought the controller would be confusing but it looks pretty simple to use.

[@seachris]

You had me when you went underneath the bridge I was like ohhh crap and holding my breath !!!

[@Apriliars]

I was given one of these and this controller, about to update the software so I can use it. Great overview. Got my registration & license completed and I’ve done about 10 regular flights so far and this is my first drone. Absolutely love this thing. When I want to get out and relax it’s easily my new favorite way to forget about everything! Can’t wait for the extra batteries to come in because that’s the only downside is this thing sucks juice!

[@austinpaul5557]

Personally I think this controller is WAY more precise. I can do so much more on this controller than on traditional controllers. It's great for confined spaces and in open range. I can rip this little drone insainly hard using this motion controller. Seriously, I can not believe the maneuvers I am able to do with this controller.

[@mikedunn420]

I’ve been waiting for this🙏🏼

[@xavianhelley]

i cant wait to chk it out for myself. Thanx for the demo

[@galen244]

Wow!! Never seen such an impressive use of turning with the Mc before!

[@starlinater10]

Definitely pretty cool feature. Definitely worthwhile buying and having. Its different and that's what has me so into this thing. Good shit bro.

[@andydrinkwater1904]

My FPV turned up yesterday and this was a huge help for me to understand what I needed to do and how to use it - thanks Billy :)

[@billykyle]

Glad it helped!

[@CuciWaterjet]

hey billy , i just wanted you to know that everytime a new drone comes out i always suggest your videos to alot of my rc friends. i only got the mini of a friend after seeing your impression video. altho where im from drones are almost 3 times the price but i just love taking sick pics and videos and all the grinding feels worth it after viewing what i captured. i hope to save up and get one of these fpv drones.. seen so many sick videos! but with the current financial problems i have and because of the crazy prices here in my country this video you just made makes me eager to wait and save up. love the content, love the editing, the information but the main star of your videos is you. keep making amazing videos! thanks billy!

[@vedantidate8391]

This is one of the best controller i have ever saw thanks for the review.

[@JasperMaakt]

Nice vid! And almost 100k subs. It’s unstoppable!

[@midnighttoreo]

have to admit love your style of giving info keep it up

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was awesome Billy! It will be interesting to see how DJI refines that motion controller concept.

[@billykyle]

Thanks Marcus!

[@tecky2528]

Clear and concise and no ‘waffle’ 👍

[@TheDTYW]

Thanks for sharing great info

[@philhechle5175]

DJI are years ahead of any other drone company. Marketing masters.

[@mattiler7698]

No there not they are 2. Skydio 2 is the top dog now

[@philhechle5175]

@@mattiler7698 the Skydio 2 is probably the most advanced drone, but DJI has the best range of drones, Mini 2, Air 2, Mavic 2 pro, and now this FPV drone. No one comes close when it comes to marketing strategies.

[@mattiler7698]

Well I am a DJI owner i have the mavic air 2 and it is very nice but the tracking and Optical avoidance is by far superior the only thing dji is better at is the range on how far it can fly away from you. Plus skydio is cheaper

[@cburgos2]

My guess the remote controller is using the goggles for antena.

[@ArtCoDroneSolutions]

Wow that was awesome Billy. Look forward to meeting you in Florida.

[@RonaldBrown59]

After watching your video, I like the motion controller so much that might be the only way I fly the FPV drone. Another great tutorial on the new DJI FPV drone. Looking forward to seeing you fly it in person in Florida.

[@JetSurfingNation]

what about lack of M acro mode in this motion controller? will they eventually add it?

[@TheFabulousTrackPack]

Great video Billy, cheers 👍

[@eaglesongs]

Nice. Exactly what I needed.

[@seachris]

Great job billy looks great 👍 can’t wait to get mine sometime !

[@MattysRCWorld]

Another great job bro! Keep em coming Billy!

[@billykyle]

Thanks Matt!

[@JunaidKureshi]

wow good job, just watched this video, going out to try mine right now and this video is very very helpful, thanks man

[@michaelwblade]

Great video bill 👍 congratulations on 100,000 subscribers a little bit early but congrats anyway 👏👏

[@koolhand12]

Great job Billy...

[@Kana7782]

another great video BK! oh and thanks for staying away from the wires this time

[@Haniflylivewithme]

Great video. Thanks!

[@johndenardo2184]

Thanks for the good information on the motion controller 👍

[@raaah]

Nobody really understands the magnitude of this technology! I lost my arm a while back. Flying any drone was excruciating to do or watch with one arm. You are not really flying you are basically moving a rock with a small stick that is the equivalent to flying with one arm. Here comes DJI MOTION CONTROLLER and now I’m dancing like Michael Jackson instead of a nerd. This thing is a god sent, and when they release a firmware for the AIR 2S so it will work with goggles and motion controller I’ll be buying that drone next. The MAVIC PRO 2 is rumored to be compatible as well. DJI JUST SOLD ME 3 DRONES with this one simple controller

[@bharatthapa2736]

Thanks for video.

[@momoville100k]

That’s definitely a game changer for a lot of us I think is that motion control after seeing it in action it looks to be very natural hopefully it feels just as natural

[@Doleary1]

That looks like some amazing kit.

[@fazleemonty9126]

This is awesome. We see what the drone see.

[@TexMexBrasil]

👍👍👍✔✔ This drone is something totally incredible, a beautiful piece of equipment with the latest technology, which certainly makes drone piloting something totally innovative, different and sensational. I, with my Mini2, for sure can't even imagine what it's like to fly one of these. Thanks for the video my friend.

[@pabloreckholder8091]

Good work! Congrats!

[@billykyle]

Thanks!

[@PrestonJensen]

Love the turning method! I would’ve made the same mistake if I hadn’t seen the correct way to do it on another channel.

[@MotoBaixada]

Very cool

[@lc4Music747]

so cool! thx🙏

[@konstantinrandom1513]

thank you for this video! i love this controller and wanna buy my first drone !

[@dougbell5160]

Haaaaaaa!!! You did it!!! Thanks buddy

[@Luicovarrubias]

Thanks very helpful 👍

[@txarchdroneguy4731]

Great review Billy, my FPV combo as well as motion controller arrived today, still unopened. Looking forward to our omelet up in Florida.

[@thelonehellyranger01]

Hey Fellow drone brothers when is the get together in Fl ? I believe in Melbourne And if so what are the time and dates ? I would love to meet Billy and some of the others ...

[@abuzzeekzein3162]

more motion controller flights please, thanks a ton for this video

[@lpcox]

wow. must be an amazing experience. it really looks like flying a plane with a stick.

[@deanharmse5126]

That is the idea, but all the idiot pro reviewers turn around like stick figures.

[@JEFFREYSOLORIO]

The motion controller looks really fun and more simple to fly with than normal controller. I imagine the motion controller is a giant antenna if you were to break it down to see the internals perhaps that's what you'll find.

[@superman04p]

No ..."assume" this is pure SCAM !!!..... Just an observation... You're poorly broken English gives it away... Amongst other things... LoL 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ron2298]

Thank you for this video I just went out to try and fly and yea not a great experience lol But now I know why. Thank you

[@djernie8085]

This is the perfect drone for me. I’m finally gonna pull the trigger on these (no pun intended)

[@dannyw777]

Being Handicapped I absolutely luvvvvvv this option! Thank You DJI!!!!!!

[@scottbrown8614]

You’re so good at these 🙌🏻

[@billykyle]

Thanks my dude😎

[@hardboy1864]

nice job

[@bcinc4070]

Great review…thanks

[@robertshirhall367]

Thank you for the information. Just picked up the FPV after waiting a year for the price to drop.

[@ejpengineering1900]

Love you vids from America

[@DavitBarbakadze]

Very informative video. Thanks!-

[@DavitBarbakadze]

@Billy scammers in your comments.

[@jaybursoto28]

Very fast tutorial man! 😁

[@maxsuelusa2006YouTubeTv]

Billy my brother!! We are the Drone Squad if the motion control losses signal the only thing it’s going to happen is the drone will return to home, over all the motion control of DJI makes a Lots easy to fly this Drone. Love your channel Billy and you know ( WE ARE THE DRONE SQUAD)Peace brother ✌️👍🏻✌️

[@mikemor1037]

Awesome Job!!! I'm ordering one! Thanx

[@Georgewrigley]

That is so cool Billy. :)

[@billykyle]

Thank you!

[@arthurone1000]

Love it

[@VincentMartinFree]

That was very cool 😎 I got it all at once, but haven't used it yet, haven't even flown my fpv yet but I will tomorrow supposed to be a very nice day to go flying. Thanks for the info Billy 👍good as always.

[@billykyle]

Thanks Vincent! I appreciate the comment

[@belovedLion80]

All my packages came in today! How exciting!

[@billykyle]

Awesome!

[@phoenix5694]

Im literally going to buy it NOW!

[@curtisw5732]

Great review, I currently only fly camera drones but I like the concept of the motion controller and think it might enhance the experience for cruising at least

[@smooth_ops2942]

Get into FPV, I left camera drones 5 years ago and have never looked back. The feeling of building and configuring something from just parts that fly's at 120mph and can fly miles away like a bird is just awesome.

[@HappyDhuliyan]

Advance congratulations for 100 k.

[@billykyle]

Thank you!

[@beest_]

Great video and information. I personally like to use disarm instead of "unarm"

[@motardktm640]

Smooth turns there Mr brake brake LoL

[@harrisongould9460]

You're NUTZ....I had to pause the video and reset my mindset to, 'It's Not My Drone' mode. Damn...I knock over wine glasses when I tell myself to be careful. I know the out come if I tell myself to look out for the bridge. Surprised there is no snow in the Philly area...we up north have a bit left.

[@billykyle]

Hahahahahaa

[@JoshAintLoud]

Purchased this drone combo as my first drone ever. Have 2 quick flights in with it. Going to try out the motion controller today for the first time. Wish me well! Awesome content, I subscribed!

[@madshader]

This is the kind of toy I dreamed of having when i was a kid!

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Like#99 WOW now that looks like fun!!!! Thx Billy Mikey

[@wongtanakanguyensmithlopez]

This motion contoller is the best

[@rodrigomerazochoa130]

Very helpful , thanks! Is this compatible with the new DJI Air 2S ? What about the new FPV googles and the DJI Air 2S

[@cptcrazyfingers9639]

It looks really fun and don’t worry about the “turn around” thing. You probably weren’t the first, or last, to make that mistake. Thanks to this video, and the comments, I won’t be one of those. I would also add that if you are flying this under Part 107, you are required to have visual line of sight of the drone at all times. If you are flying FPV, that means you must have a visual observer to maintain visual contact with the drone. That rule made things so much more difficult for the KZbinrs that upload a lot of FPV content.

[@Gary-ef6qo]

Great video and appreciate the feedback. One question though did you find that the props were constantly in shot or can you pitch the camera to keep them out of shot?

[@danielbuchanan756]

Another reviewer said you will see the props in frame until you speed up causing the drone to pitch forward.

[@JetSurfingNation]

Thank you Billy. Do you think they will enable M mode for this motion controller eventually? It looks strange not to have it there?

[@Spelunkernaut]

I think with Manual mode, you have to do that through the google menu, same as the controller from what I've read. Safety precaution so u dont accidently select it.

[@creativedreamersnl]

Great vid thanks! How about manual mode? Or did i miss something about this:)?

[@JTPineapple]

so its basically just a small little yoke. honestly maybe connect it to a longer pole kind of like a flight sim and the amount of control you could have would be amazing. also looks like a ton of fun

[@abehassan81]

Is wearing glasses a problem with the goggles

[@RADERFPV]

You'll be fine as long as they're not big and bulky. I wear glasses with them all the time.

[@haroldyazzie3538]

No elton john glasses

[@RADERFPV]

@@haroldyazzie3538 Exactly, lol👍

[@billykyle]

Yeah, it depends

[@1975supermike]

You made the same mistake as nerk turning it round.

[@jimster7645]

can;t you go inverted with the motion controller ? using the tilt on the side? maybe doing a 180 and then flipping is the best way to turn around?

[@dcclyde575]

I can't wait to purchase one. But without the motion controller hehe

[@goldcoastdronephotographyl841]

Very informative thanks. Just did my first flight with motion controller. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you +1 subscribe

[@davevipe]

Great vide.. bro.. jus wana ask.. can u make livestream either youtube or facebook using andoid fon in dji fly app?
