Is The DJI FPV Drone Still Worth It In 2024 (DJI Remote ID Update)

[@AlexanderLobarev]

I bought it 5 months ago and I am VERY satisfied. I am already mastering the ACRO mode and have flown in this mode 3 times. Now only ACRO mode... The drone is just SUPER. The last time I got carried away with flying and when the battery was low, the drone itself let me know why it returned home at full charge. So the best drone for beginners.

[@954Film]

That’s great I am gonna fly the drone for the first time in full acro mode this week I have been practicing for weeks with my little whoops and my simulator

[@AlexanderLobarev]

@@954Film Good luck to you.

[@NoShieldAllFlesh]

@@954Film i just got the goggles integra, the ones with remote ID GPS inside them, you can use them to fly the FPV and AVATA along with any DJI O3 air unit you may have, You wont have to have your phone connected to the goggles anymore

[@andreschapero3615]

By far my favorite DJI drone. If they come out with a 30% battery improvement I will buy another one. A masterpiece of aircraft design.

[@Sakufighter]

I’m buying a whole set up with 2 extra batteries, backpack, micro SD for around 1000 all together. Pretty psyched! Need a little more power than the avata 2 which I’ll use for my cinewhoop.

[@jonnymoke]

I have to calm myself down if I even look at the case sitting there. I will sleep walk and fire up my fpv. So glad I found the hobby

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

it is the fastest drone dji make. it has led lights and a aux light for night flight . it has level 6 wind resistance! you got to have this one in the collection. i just brought the explorer combo

[@johnmajka5404]

I love my FPV Drone, its a blast to fly. I only fly it, in sport & normal mode. A few weeks ago I bought the AIR 3 and Mini 4 Pro, both fly more combos, & I bought the Integra goggles Motion 2 Combo, to fly those two drones with goggles. I'm waiting for another paycheck to buy 2 year care Refresh Plans for both drones before I fly them. Hopefully Flying the AIR 3 in Sport mode will be somewhat similar as flying the FPV Drone in sport mode, but with a much longer battery life.

[@вечная_мерзлота]

like 4 times longer battery life. I'm frustrated with dji fpv and returning it back. 8min of flight is a joke.

[@VIT-ey8wo]

18 minutes for an FPV is quite great actually

[@ronaldbruce6845]

I have the fpv explorer combo with the Integra goggles and I have an Air 3 and flown with the goggles. Top speed of the Air 3 in sport mode is about 47mph and the characteristics are so different, not similar at all but the Air 3 is still awesome to fly with the goggles. It's awesome with the controller too.

[@bearsist]

You don’t have to have your phone hooked up all the time right after I start my Drone up, I take it up in the air disconnect the cable you will get ID error on the right side of the screen that’s it. It flies exactly the same.

[@954Film]

Good to know thanks for the tip

[@fyzobaba]

I never updated mine and never will. Never had any remote ID issue. had it at FW 01.02.00.00 for the DJI fpv racer drone. In fact, I just hacked it recently.

[@notsecure]

Wonder if DJI will update my old FPV to enable RemoteID, maybe I shouldn't update the firmware from now on.

[@954Film]

It will start as soon as you update your drone

[@954Film]

My old drone didn’t do this but I crashed it and they sent me a new one and when I updated it and went to go fly it I had to plug my phone in

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

If you plug it all in either with the goggles and dji fly or on the computer with dji assistant 2, it will offer the update. DJI hasnt been updating this drone in years so theres no reason to update it anyeay.. Also im 99% sure the Goggles 2/Integras work with the DJI FPV drone, because they with the DJI Air unit V1/Vista, and the DJI FPV drone has an Air Unit inside for the video and then pretty much with the other things added like a normal dji drone.

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

@@954Film Thats really disappointing to hear, the drone is so old at this point.. Why are they forcing Rid on it now? I guess im not going to use my dji fpv drone thats unlocked in manual mode anymore so i dont accidentally crash it.. I have regular fpv drones that are better for that anyway, and thats usually not why id use the dji fpv in the first place.. id use it just to film a cool spot with the speed to be able to get around quickly. I just cant stand that the solution is plugging your phone into the goggles, which were never made for that kind of use constantly on the usb port..

@@954Film Thats a nice one.. Did you have the stock rubber style one or the newer dji goggles v2 comfort foam face pad. It looks very similiar and it is nice, but this looks even thicker and nicer. The dji one is $10. How soft is the foam on this? Does it contour to your face easily with the foam padding? I might have to pick one up and try it

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Ive heard terrible things about anything but the Stock DJI Propellers on this Drone. Basically everyone that has those props that had an issue, had a blade snap off randomly in flight and then the drone falls like you said.. I actually have a set and i liked them, but as soon as i heard about all the Horror stories with them I dont use them anymore. Also you can just replace the quick-mount propeller assembly with a 5mm shaft to run traditional 5" or 5.1" FPV drone props off a normal 5" fpv drone

[@954Film]

That’s exactly what I ended up doing I run Gemfan props on the dji fpv now it flys much better

[@mikeb1596]

Maybe for a beginner. It's a bad quadcopter for anyone who has experience with good fpv builds

[@DESTINYFPV]

​@mikeb1596 well Mike,it's a great drone for beginners and experienced alike it will do things a home built only dreams of so zip it!

[@SgtJamesRay]

I love the drone and I have experience with dones. At flying events I teach people to fly and I have them flying in sport mode before the battery runs out. I also have the avata and I've taught my six-year-old granddaughter to fly and she's moved on to a smaller trainer without GPS. I own several other drones but this one and the avata are my favorites I can't wait to see what improvements they make on the next version

[@arklave]

I own both the Avata and the FPV drone so i have been having a blast flying them. I will agree the Avata is far more durable as I have crashed it several times and aside from some prop damage it has held up very well. I actually crashed my FPV drone into a tree the first time I got it in in the air in sport mode... Luckily I bought the arm bracers so it survived virtually unscathed aside from some prop damage. However since graduating to manual mode I have yet to crash it again after 10 - 15 packs or so. In my experience the Avata is definitely the more forgiving and cost effective drone, but its also relatively sluggish and slow compared to the FPV drone. Even when I have the throttle up on it there isn't much power behind it. To be fair its a cinewhoop vs FPV and they are related but fulfill different roles. Hitting the throttle on the FPV is a different story there is definitely more power there and the lift it generates is substantially higher. I feel better doing more acrobatic style of flying with the FPV, but I like flying really close to the ground/objects or hitting gaps with the Avata. Also if you buy either drone kit these days you get the goggles integra which eliminates the need for an external battery pack and eliminates the need to plug your phone into the headset to fly.

[@954Film]

That’s cool I am definitely excited to fly my dji fpv drone in manual mode I was just scared to when I first got it because I knew if I crashed 1 time it would be up for the drone and having no fpv experience I didn’t know that I was ready for that but now I have put in 10s of hours on liftoff and I have flown about 50 packs through my little cinewhoop I bought to train I think I might finally be ready for manual mode

[@DESTINYFPV]

Those arent goggles 2 they are V2's big difference

[@BluSkyOne1]

The other solution is to not upgrade the goggles or the drone and you wont have to hook a phone to it every time you fly. I always fly under 400 feet and with LAANC approval the faa need to take a chill pill its way over regulating drone pilots.

[@vSilviu]

Just got one for 700$ with goggles and remote control.

[@bh7471]

I wouldn't go buying a DJI FPV today but it's a great beater drone if you already have one. I've bathed mine in polyurethane conformal coating. I fly it in rain and snow. It's a DJI so as long as I don't crash it will last forever.

[@954Film]

Yea I could definitely agree I got mine used for a good price it was a cheap way for me to get goggles remote and a extra drone

Nice video but at least I'm glad to see I got you beat on speed I've had mine up to 95. I never did the last update so I'm still flying mine around without using my phone. You really shouldn't be scared to put it in acro I do a lot of chase videos and they can basically only be done in manual. At least the ones where I'm chasing aircraft. Anything on the ground typically won't go faster than 60 so I do those in sport. Last but not least I have a video on how to handcatch it. It's extremely easy you might like it

[@954Film]

I am gonna check out your vid on how to hand catch it for sure last time I tryed to do that I almost lost a finger 😂😂😂

[@954Film]

The only reason I am so scared to throw it in acro is because of how fragile it is I am practicing with some more forgiving fpv drones before I try to fly the dji fpv in acro. And try to go as long as you can without that update it’s annoying.

[@TOP_GUN_FPV]

Are you asking if a plastic drone that breaks in about everyday is worth it? It wasn't worth it at first...and it's not worth it now unless you get it for 50 bucks...as repairing it will cost you so much time and money it's just a dumb choice for anyone to make... sure the noobs will love it because they are told this is the best way into FPV. But most if not all will start with this...crash it and be done with FPV By the way only noobs fly DJI and nobody who loves FPV flies with Remote ID.... There is nothing innovating about it. It does not handle as well as real quads by the least bit. Takes too long to fix....and like I said is made of nothing but plastic that is NOT meant for a drone of this type! there are no seasoned FOV pilots that like DJI FPV DRONE....we build these ourselves because that is what FPV is. If all you have is the DJI FPV DRONE...you are a noob and have never experience REAL FPV. does this answer your question????

[@TOP_GUN_FPV]

also really good video and it looks like you have a passion for FPV now....do yourself a favor and save up for a real quad with either caddx vista to save a few bucks or the 03 air unit. You can use those googles and the control for it, and you will probably never fly the dji fpv drone again except for special circumstances....I know this because over the last few years I have seen many people make the switch and never fly the dji fpv drone ever again.

[@954Film]

Yea I only bought the dji drone because I got everything for $500 and I needed the goggles and the controller for my Pavo 20 I bought running dji o3

[@craigbu7755]

I own several 5" drones, all running the o3 units, but I still like to fly my djifpv drone,especially when I want just a chill flight or a nosey around my neighbourhood,my only real gripe with it has always been the fact I can't use aftermarket lipo's, I've lost 2 lipo's already this year even though I check them every 3-4 weeks and have always recharged when they show 2 bars,both had less than 30 cycles each as well
