Everything About The New DJI FPV Drone

So there's a lot to unpack in this video. Obviously it's a huge product launch, and I haven't yet gotten to everything in it. This is NOT a paid promotion, but DJI did send me the product for free. They've been extremely transparent about the drone and everything that's gone into it, and they are working really hard to make this the best that it can be. That being said, if you're already pretty well into FPV, this drone isn't for you. It's definitely aimed at converting members of the existing market of drone users and bringing them into the FPV world. To be honest, I'm very excited about what that means for the world of FPV, because a rising tide lifts all ships. Now.. let's take a look at the machine. I've got a few more videos/opinions coming out in the next few days, so be excited to see more soon!

[@dwalosie]

Any thoughts on the motion controller? I saw you had one.

[@Riseup_1776]

Is the software the same as the Mavic 2 Pro's where it prohibits you from taking off and flying in some areas? Looking to take across the US and don't want to encounter any restricted fly zones.

[@sikatailmedia8081]

@NURK FPV Great video, seeing your reaction when the Drone was not released is cool. As you can now buy the DJI FPV Drone in a non combo package, which we now know comes with the DJI FPV Drone but no controller. Is it possible from your knowledge, if the DJI FPV Drone can be used using DJI's other controllers, such as the controller for their DJI Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2 Drones along with the DJI Fly App?.

[@slickwithit5499]

is that a heated jacket if so hat brand is that

[@kellygrajek]

@@Riseup_1776 That is a great question Jonathan. It being a DJI product and especially having ADS-B functionality, I would assume that you are going to run into certain places where others safety takes top priority. Im curious too Jonathan, let me know if you find anything because im buying one. Tomorrow lol

The best DJI FPV drone review I have seen so far (and I've seen a lot!). Just made a purchase! Thank you!

[@JammyGit92]

I have never flown a drone before but have watched a serious amount of FPV videos over the years. The review for this DJI FPV drone is by far the best I have seen so far and it feels like a genuine review. Great job and maybe sometime soon I might have a FPV drone of my own!

[@DesignRobot_co]

I forget how good you are with proximity flying. That playground rip looked sick!

[@thedwighty]

Lots of great information! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new product. I am hoping to see the new camera be available for other rigs soon. Stay safe and enjoy your adventures!

Cool FPV drone and Mavic combination :)

Brilliant review! Unbiased and honest. Really appreciate it

[@marsmachine1156]

I love your style Nurk. Great freestylin’ with that Humpty Dumpty with props! That chase and 360 footage was super cool! Thank you.

[@Blueskyver]

Great product review. Thanks you for all of us!

[@HarryPhillips1453]

"I want all of these features, but in the power train that I decide and with the tune that I decide" You *really* need to try INAV. It's hella janky compared to DJI, but if you get it setup right and tuned right it can do position hold, altitude hold, proper RTH including landing, waypoint missions etc, and then at the flip of a switch goes back into acro mode. And it runs on most Betaflight hardware! (Though you need a well setup barometer, gps and compass at a minimum. Sonar and optical flow sensors improve it even more.)

[@dcliffe8539]

i agree, open source too

[@dangerous8333]

I don't need anything but GPS and RTH on my fpv quads, and they already have it. I don't need my fpv quads to land by themselves. My long range has crossfire diversity and the same flight times as this thing. I have an Evo 2 Pro for things like holding my altitude and waypoint missions and it's much more stable. Rarely do I ever want to do both things at the same time. Especially on a platform that's not easily repairable.

[@supernatural802]

First review where I've seen someone properly freestyle this thing. excellent work!

[@jamesobrien575]

The DJI FPV drone is a two-in-one drone that can switch from one mode to another in seconds. I also love that it also like having an Osmo Action attached to it with its Rocksteady stabilization. Of course, it looks so bad-ass!

[@dangerous8333]

My philosophy is the complete opposite of yours. I'd rather have two separate things that perform their functions at the highest level, than one thing that does them both mediocre. I say that as an engineer.

[@treysonholyoak8591]

I like how you edited everything and put it together so well... new sub now

[@toboldygo5823]

Great flying my friend I loved watching it was like a ballet in the air 🤪👍🏻✨🎮🥽✨

21:00 I was holding my breath the entire time :) great flying!!!

[@NURKFPV]

Gotta try to break it at least once per session :P

[@Rcschim]

Great review and very helpful to hear your opinion. Straight forward, honest and fun edit! Love the progression of drones and that was what I hoped for when I flew those frustrating drones years ago. Will be a good choice for me since I like relaxing cruise flights more than acro, will have enough confidence and flighttime with it in the mountains. Back like ages ago I always wanted a DJI naza return home safety combined with the betaflight flight feeling. Now we're there. No betaflight or inav gps mode is necessary anymore ;)

[@Droning-ON]

*Nurk, dude!!* You super-chatted DroningON, and for that I'm forever in debt to you!! Always loved your content, incredible - thanks for joining us to watch live!!

Leave it to DJI to implement the most expensive FPV camera setup with a digital camera and gimbal, then completely forget that in FPV we need some sort of camera protection - most expensive crash ever. lol. Love the content Nurk! Best of luck in the upcoming DRL season!

Great, comprehensive review man! I think this could be (one of) my next, future drone(s) as I've been flying Parrot drones and Mavics for a few years now but have zero FPV experience. I'd like to be able to incorporate some acrobatic aerial video footage into some of my future content but as of right now I'm a bit intimidated (and not really interested) in building (and maintaining) a drone from scratch.

[@NURKFPV]

i think that this is the perfect drone for guys like you that have a lot of experience with traditional drones. I hope you enjoy your forray into FPV.

[@theadventurebiker]

Nice review. Have you tried the FPV output to the phone with any of the other DJI setups? Air unit, Vista unit, V1 goggles?

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

And does new remote bind with old recievers..

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Can you use the av-out to any other monitoring device besides your phone? Also, imo the ability to tilt the gimbal is a game changer for cimematic follow shots of vehicles...coming around them and flying backwards, etc. Have you figured out how to switch from stand still/hover to acro mode for a take?

[@NURKFPV]

mine still doesn't seem to be working..

[@feelingphroggy2552]

How was the DJI fly app displaying all of the telemetry and letting you adjust the map in flight? All the other reviews I’ve seen say that it only outputs a live feed to your phone with no overlays..... thanks!

Hi, do you know if it's possible to force fcc mode on the drone? By using a vpn a the activation for exemple ? Thanks

[@DrHahnFamily]

Awesome review! Very helpful! Appreciate this video! A couple of questions! Can both the regular remote and the motion remote be used at the same time? As in when letting a beginner fly the drone and the second remote can be used to override 1st remote to prevent a crash? And can the drone be launched and landed handheld?

[@NURKFPV]

I haven't tried, but I don't think it does.

[@prowlus]

how’s does this compare against the connex falcore ? thinking of buying a 2nd hand falcore against the new dji fpv pack

[@ShadLife]

Well done! I love the honest reviews you provide. I think things can only get better from here. For me, it is a lot easier to fly a drone from point of view rather than line of sight, so this drone accomplishes that, and just maybe, more camera drones will have the ability to be flown FPV style.

[@RaptorFlyer3D]

Only downside to FPV is that you’re enveloped in the goggles so loose a large portion of situational awareness around you.

[@ShadLife]

@@RaptorFlyer3D With this drone you could always pop the goggles off as long as you are not in Acro.

[@RaptorFlyer3D]

@@ShadLife in theory yes, but to be squeaky clean with the rules (My understanding here in the UK) you need a designated spotter next to you to maintain VLOS to be able to fly FPV.
