First Flight with the DJI Motion Controller

[@psoon04286]

Very impressed with DJI still aggressively developing and innovating in this market despite all the curve balls sent in their direction. They deserve being up there at the top of the heap👍👍

[@FlytPath]

Ya that's my thoughts.

[@nilnil8072]

Social media companies are seen as manipulative ... which is proven right. China didn’t stop Starbucks, McDonald’s and many other companies :) DJI is only guilty is being Chinese owned. Staff in US are mainly US citizens though.

[@izoyt]

@Too Sexy For KZbin why? why they don't just do better, lol?

[@izoyt]

@Too Sexy For KZbin yes, that and not competent enough. that's why the try to sabotage dji (typical american thing, when they start loosing market) in every chance they got..

[@aa-iv2vy]

I wonder how parrots are doing

[@TheDPM71]

Accurate video thanks! Flew mine yesterday as a first time drone pilot.....yeah jumped right in there. Super easy to fly for me the motion controller is awesome! Figured I'd try FPV straight away as I loved flying helos in video games in fpv. I know that may sound odd but it translates perfectly from vid game fpv to drone FPV.

[@gamefly00730]

Keep your goggles lenses out of the sun, it damages the lenses very quickly. Great video, thanks.

[@Hazard4K]

good comment.. this can't be stated enough for everyone else to see and applies to all VR googles

[@gamefly00730]

@@Hazard4K Cheers, credit for the knowledge goes to J,Bardwell and Blunty. It's really good to know, especially as the antenna positions almost invite you to use them as a stand.

[@Dav2112]

I was just about to type this exact comment, I'm always cautious that I don't have my Fatsharks lenses exposed to the sun when I'm out flying, the screen burn can happen instantly on the displays, much like sticking a magnifying glass into the sun to set paper on fire, you'll end up with small burn holes in your LCD displays.

[@miquelbiggs5721]

Thanks

[@Soarific]

Thanks so much for tip, I have my drone arriving today and never knew this.

[@scottjustin540]

I'm liking this product more and more. DJI really risked a lot in innovating products like these in an industry that is quickly going stale. Props (literal and metaphorical) for that!

[@scottjustin540]

@Will Iam Oh, really? What's the biggest innovation right now? You're still on analog most probably which is why you don't understand what I'm trying to say.

[@miguelsmith6498]

A steal for less than two hundred bucks!

[@AllanDelosReyes]

Man I love the new start up sound.

[@FlytPath]

Beast

[@abrahamweiss5827]

Is it the motors or a speaker or both? I know the motors do a test but what is causing that Starwars like noise?

[@bugatti314159]

I like it. I wondered when someone was going to come out with a joystick style remote for flying. It seems much more natural than the traditional twin stick. Especially for FPV flying.

[@Suroy]

After the DJI Avata release today was the first time hearing about the motion controller, didn't realize it was release more than a year ago! So cool!

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

So cool. Mines on its way. 😎👍

[@gavin8535]

Mine too

[@XploreAz]

Where did you order mines from?

[@ItsFrankieBoy]

Me too! Ordered from Best Buy, picking up on Saturday

[@todd5963]

What do they say is the time for delivery?

[@andyramz2703]

Mine arrives tomorrow cant wait cheers

[@luisganiko8964]

Every day is getting better and better

[@eternalrest207]

I just ordered one today! I wanted to see a video of how it worked before I delved into it. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@jameswright1641]

Control your drone like a Wii! FLy and lose weight at the same time!

[@BullShark1579]

I just actually used this for the first time Today. It was really cool experience. I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be using it more. Very fun

[@izoyt]

dji is such inspiring company. start by one student with passion, which lift up the bar in drone technology and bring top quality drones (and other products) to the market, without bs, they just work and are top notch, no real contestant here (only copycats more or less).all of this in less than a decade and today with billions of yearly revenue. and what i like the most, they stay private, no jobs/musk stupidity and stock hyping, just their products which speaks for their self (so, its realy just what you put to the costumers and nothing else). this is imo a good receipt, how companies should operate in modern world for sustainable and firm economies. no wallstreet bs etc.

[@madclouds]

That looks so fun!

[@markusy3410]

I hope this isn't a stupid question. With the motion controller, it only flies forward? in regular mode? without going into manual mode? no backwards.

[@dougcooper4917]

The motion controller is awesome! Thank you Aldryn for showing us how it works.

[@FlytPath]

No problem!

[@paulharris7660]

2022-How to save money buying a DJI FPV. Look to bid on the 2nd hand DJI FPV online, some are going with twenty mins fly time, like mine. The goggles V2, motion/normal controller will work with the Avata which you buy a standalone drone for about 350, uk pounds. both are worth it

[@stewall101]

Been meaning to get into drones as a hobby for ages. I've been watching your channel and have gained a lot of knowledge - until today. Damn you, Sir, for introducing me to this specific technology. This is a boy's dream come true (and I am far from being a boy!) You have put me into the 'go- to-get-one' mode, and my wallet is not going to thank you. Brilliant series of videos, thanks.

[@JetSurfingNation]

Looking forward to try it

[@ChrisParayno]

Wii remote ftw! I wish all drones had this. Similarly, can't wait to see what happens when they figure out how to fly in acro mode with this thing (where there's a will there's a way).

[@simeongreenstein9930]

Outstanding introduction. As good as it gets. Clear and precise. You have presented a remarkable piece of technology incredibly well. Thank you.

[@joseluiswatanabegutierrez1561]

I love the startup sound of this drone!

[@RogerClubv]

Flying a drone at another level. So awesome

[@jhovo2008]

Many drone toys have a similar control, they are simpler but the principle is the same

[@PowderMill]

😷 HELP !! Can BOTH the Motion Controller AND the Standard Remote Control be bound to the FPV drone SIMULTANEOUSLY?? I cannot seem to do it. It’s either one or the other. I really would like the ability to have both means of control available with a drone in the air.. Thanks!

[@heatice77]

The future has arrived folks, I've been asking for this type of setup since the start. Good video, I got out of the drone world after Solo and Karma....well, also the over regulation and limited flying areas but this thing makes me want to get back into things. I'm all for buy American, but let me tell you...why can't we really compete with DJI, I know your labor is significantly cheaper, but come on man...every industry needs competition.

[@maxsuelusa2006YouTubeTv]

My motion control arrives today, yeahhh 😁✌️

[@Daniel-rl3pz]

After watching many reviews I finally decided to stay with fpv quads and wait for the release of mavic air 3.

[@speedbird737]

youre missing out! this thing is awesome

[@DangerousDaveKincaid]

Looks so fun, can't wait till get mine. Ordered yesterday...

[@karlwilliams8208]

Thanks for a fascinating video. What I time to be alive and into drones. Amazing 👍🏻

[@boydpreston]

That seems like a very intuitive controller. Handy while you're wearing goggles. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@artel6225]

Brilliant controller the possibilities are exciting

[@iamurzzz]

I see a problem here .. it's showing up props in video.. usually dji other forms series doenst shows this up?????

[@duanexavierbondad7832]

Imagine this controller being able to control the DJI mavic drones... It might be easier to take a video of your self

[@AllanDelosReyes]

I hope so too.

[@sucreelbarbaro2138]

I hope it will be compatible

[@deadlyk1tten]

nope without goggle you want see anything

[@ChrisParayno]

Agreed, this makes even more sense for the mavic series!

[@ethanhawk8918]

I have the Mavic 2 with goggles so is the motion control should work with it with some software updates? NO?????? Or they should change the combo not to have the controller but instead the motion control. That would save $200 and I know that motion controller does not cost to make at $200.

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love

[@bobhawkey3783]

This is a brilliant idea. Thanks for a great demo! Love how much you like it.

[@FlytPath]

Glad you like it!

[@billcallahan9303]

Great stuff but I like simple. Simple like my six old Typhoon 4K drones. Tip! Gorilla Glue! Great way to patch your crashed drone back together. I also use short lengths of balsa wood & tie wraps to brace.

[@mohamedsawai2686]

I think this controller.s easier to use than other controller that with a sticks and you won't crash the drone . Thank you pal for this video I really gained and enjoyed your videos

[@leewixx]

Great video as always!! I have ordered mine right now with the motion controller, it really looks amazing! 😍

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Wow, Aldryn, the motion controller is wild! For being your first time using the controller the unit seems very responsive. It kinda reminds me of the FT Aviator but a lot smaller and more accurate. Thank you for the first look and testing of the new DJI motion controller. Take Care!

[@FlytPath]

Ya surprisingly responsive

[@stuartcoutts3898]

That’s awesome 👏 thanks

[@Curianer]

Could it be that it has higher Latency? Because somehow it was visible to me in the Video that she did not change direction 1: 1, but always a little later than the Hand Movement. Is that adjustable somehow? And is it normal to see the Rotors in the Picture?

[@na9er47]

so cool love it 👍👍😍😍 thanks for the video like it.

[@Houssam1980]

Thank you for a great video as usual lots of information, much appreciated. I do have a request and I think a lot of people would agree with me could you possibly make a video specifically to the goggles settings maybe go through the settings and what everything does in there thank you

[@countrymouser1962]

Ordered mine. Got it linked. Tapped and held the take off button........Nothin! Won't activate the prop motors. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? I downloaded all the software (so it's up to date). MC shows up in my FPV Goggles as connected, but can't start the drone. :(

[@artisanart9154045407]

will buy avata this December kabayan

[@whtt001]

As cool as this drone is i wasn't interested in it. UNTIL this video. That joystick alone might have just changed my mind. Now if they could make it work with previous drones that would be mind blowing.

[@ChrisParayno]

Same

[@vfx888]

Great, thanks. Do the props always show in the video?

have a question, Im not too keen on using a goggle system, I don't think I would get sick from the motion but it just seems to be claustrophobic. Can this be used with a tablet or phone as you would with a Mavic system?

Great review my friend! Thanks for sharing.

[@skriddeitvlog314]

Can you do line of sight using motion controller without goggles?

How does one fly backwards with this controller? Mine arrived yesterday and tried it out but cant figure out how to fly backwards 😂. Everything else is super fun and intuitive

[@fidde9441]

I need to ask this. Can you see the propellers on the drone footage all the time?

[@peterbennett8810]

So what happens if you accidentally drop the controller? No wrist stap?

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

Good video, I just got the motion controller. When testing it starting the motors with the red button by pushing it twice. To quickly turn off the motors do you press the red button again twice? If Im testing it inside without the propellers on?

[@erikpenabella599]

Can emulate being Maverick with that! Lol. Looks fun AF

[@erikpenabella599]

I think I'd have to sit down tho before I fell over. Haha

[@Marvelofebikes]

It's like you're actually flying? How do you get the propellers to not be in the shot? What is the headset wire connected to? Thanks

[@PhillipSkraba]

I feel you're flying this like I'm flying this Aldryn 😂

[@AYANGLAKI]

Hi there...great vids you've produced and I've learned a lot. Small prob; I can't seem to fly my FPV with the Motion Controller. I see the image from the camera on my V2 Goggles and can control the gimbal up or down; but the motors won't fire up with the red button. I've done everything you said to do in the vid but no cigar! I even moved it 10 feet away. This is my 2nd Motion Controller as I exchanged it with Amazon, thinking it was defective. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mister, I want to ask why my Mavic Mini with FCC mode can’t fly far away? Only with 200m height and 500m far, then I see black screen, how to solve this problem please? Flytpath please reply me, thank you, I can’t find the way to solve the problem.

[@randymcneely4983]

I own a MavicMini and an EVO 1. For the MavicMini (original model) 1/2 kilometer is about right. The Mini 2 has better transmission range.

[@kar98kc.92]

Thank you very much, but Mavic Mini should be flying 4km in FCC mode, how come just 500m??

Hi my Frend Anastasio! I bought the Motion Controller and found it very fun. Consult, I have not been able to calibrate the compass (the rest yes) of that Control. Could you calibrate it? Now I am going to do a Refresh and re-link to its firmware to see what happens. Thanks!

[@AverageJoeTechReview]

Is there a Sport Flying video? Also some aerobatics? This will be my deciding factor, besides getting rid of the prop view withing the camera field of view. I noticed you can clearly see the props on each side.

[@IcyBlueii]

My only question is, the view you get in the googles, is it the view you will see in a recording, or is it a separate camera built into the drone? I only ask because I saw a lot of both the front props in the video, that's not desired when trying to get professional-looking shots or videos

[@alexkoenig4332]

Is there no reverse when using the motion controller?

[@who2999]

I actually find this flight mode to be the most interesting thing about this drone, lettine people get that fpv look without the skill of being a FPV pilot. That said the parrot anafi has a similar mode called "arcade mode", no motion controller but it lets you fly with the normal controller to get a similar FPV style flight mode. I'd love to see a similar mode make it into the mavic lineup to let those beefier/more stable cameras get that same kinda look.
