After a lot of back and forth I finally decided to enter the FPV game and learned to fly the DJI FPV drone. With many years of stabilised drone experience I did not start as a fresh beginner, but still this drone was completely different to anything I ever flew before. I started by practicing in both the DJI simulator on my phone and Liftoff on my laptop in order to be prepared for the first flight. After flying the drone manually for the first time, I immediately understood why everybody is addicted to FPV. I practiced as much as I could and was able to capture some first cinematic shots. I hope you enjoy following along on this journey!

Literally my exact reaction when I first started flying with the DJI FPV. Instantly got addicted. 2 yrs later I’m filming music videos/ commercials. Being an Fpv operator is the best job ever. I’m somewhere cool every day I’m working. It could be chasing super cars around a race track or dirt bikes or diving a building downtown. I love my job. So grateful

[@rosyhvideo2587]

Dude your videos are so fucking good. Your determination and progression was very cool to watch. I filmed myself also learning how to fly fpv, but not DJI, and the process is remarkably similar. Excitement->frustration-> frustration over and over until BAM you’re a fucking pilot. Keep up these amazing videos dude! I can’t wait until the next one

[@racistpixel1017]

frustration is more with dji, you cant risk to crash dji or you get piles of broke plastics and vires, with regular fpv you can crash as much as you like and risk it, even if you break it its cheap to fix or get mew one, my tyro 79 cost 80euros...

[@bradical2723]

​@@racistpixel1017are there diy drones that are compatible with dji goggles? Like can you get a dji transmitter? Never built anything like that before but I have the dji goggles and wanted to get into the diy drones

[@racistpixel1017]

@@bradical2723 yah you can build diy drones with dji transmitter. Actually DIY is not accurate word because majority of those drones come pre-built, you just look one pre-built with dji transmitter and google. This dji drone it self is a piece of garbage, expensive looking plastic, itsbrequirst only one bump to ground or a tree branch and you will need to wait weeks until you receive new one, and that new onen you going to break same day... Unless you are careful as hell, but so no risk taking and no nothing, only slow safe learning

[@sharksfan2011]

Amazing video and great story telling! I am in my 60’s and have been flying gps drones since 2017 but just got the DJI FPV 2 weeks ago. First half dozen flights made me dizzy and I thought “Oh, geez, what have I done, can I do this?” This morning I went out and it all felt pretty normal so I’m getting used to it, now just need to build my skills and progress from Sport mode to full manual. Thanks for letting this old guy know that I’m not crazy for being dizzy and disoriented when first flying. I think if more FPV pilots would share that info, it would help a lot of newbies push through and really enjoy the hobby. Thanks again for an inspiring video! Cheers from California.

[@dariusrucker7854]

Cheers. You sound like a guy Reno needs to move to Texas. If your ever in the Lubbock area, let me know, we'll grab a beer.

[@kalpeshpatil3020]

I loved your entire FPV drone experience !!!!!

[@edwardcutler7492]

This is probably what most people do seeing that you can crash your drone with one mistake, you really need to spend time on the simulator first.

[@ChirpFPV]

also dont get a plastic toy which breaks on the first crash lmaoo

[@racistpixel1017]

get regular fpv for 100e, like tyro 79 cost 80euros and it has same speed and probably better handling, you can smash it to brick wall and 9/10 continue to fly, if its grass or tree branch, even if its some sort of lake or river, dont worry. then when you can finally fly, get dji but dont expect to have regular fpv drone flights with dji, its just to fragile, professional crash every day. dji for open fields only.

[@valwolve]

Thank you for sharing this. I just got my dji fpv. I am so excited to learn to fly my fpv!!!
