Racing a DJI FPV Drone - Ya Gotta be in Manual Mode to win! - Newbie vs Pro

[@Madvizion]

This video is two DJI FPV drones participating in a mating ritual. Nice work

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

Steve was very generous in his editing. He didn't show the 5 other attempts to hover the race fpv. After the filming, I did try M mode in LOS hover. I now have aboutv3 mins in M mode...no crashes.... but thank goodness for the Pause button on the dji fpv.!!!!

[@FineBakedPastry]

The dji fpv is heavier due to camera gimbal, multiple optical flow sensors/cameras, lots of blinking lights, and lots of electronics. That doesn't make it any less real than an fpv drone where the battery is velcro'd on.

[@backtoafrica895]

People say they are passionate about a hobby, you really don’t have to say it. Everyone can see how you love flying drones. Have been washing for the past week and your devotion to drones amazed me.

I'm thinking Nelson really won and we just saw Steve's video editing powers in work. Ha,ha...nice video.

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

I can confirm the Captain left me well in his wake. I now chuckle at my concern thst we might have to worry about flying too close during the race....

The DJI FPB drone reminds me of the smaller fighter type alien spaceships in the movie “Independence Day”. Too funny!

[@andreach3266]

Yes definitely. And it reminds the Alien's xenomorph too imo.

[@mrtrendizzle]

For anyone thinking of building a true FPV drone but only have experience with DJI stuff. You can build a true FPV drone with GPS and Barometer to give you stable flight like DJI and within the flight controllers software you can limit the angle of the drone along with throttle limit. You set these flight modes to a switch on your controller so you can activate GPS stable flight, Angle limited (Slow mode) and true unhinged free flight. GPS mode won't let you flip the drone nor will angle mode but will allow you to use your FPV drone just like a DJI drone to take great cinematography and epic pictures. Depending on where you live a true FPV drone won't be class marked and will be classed as a "Legacy drone" (UK) which limits where you can fly the drone. For example: In the UK a DIY drone will be limited to 2kg Maybe 4kg max take off weight and you can fly in A3 catagory which is 150m from buildings and 50m from people not within a residential, industrial or recreational area. This also covers non marked drones like the FPV drone right now. Once DJI class mark their drones then under 250g and max speed of 19m/s can be flown anywhere from 5m from people and 50m from buildings etc... Anything similar classed as a "toy" will be licence free so long as it dosn't have a camera. If it does have a camera then the normal licence applies just like any other drone operator. I know Captain Drone is Canadian but some viewers might be from the UK like myself so i hope this comment helps a little to those thinking of getting a drone. Maybe Captain Drone could do a rules and regulations video for a bunch of countries then show off the types of drones each classification they would fall under along with suspected class mark for future DJI drones.

I've gone from sim to mini, mini to full, and I really don't see issues with this machine; I love it. I can comfortably do maneuverers that I would struggle with or be hesitant with. Yes, it's dialled back, but WOW if this doesn't impress you, you're part of the niece of fpv pilots who are able to think like a fighter pilot. Make sure you go into the settings and make changes to suit your capabilities/abilities. Stock settings are terrible.

I have never flown FPV. Only camera drones. I agree that the DJI FPV is very cool , but not having a 3 axis gimbal in my opinion doesn't cut it. This is DJI's first FPV drone so I'm guessing future models will have many improvements. I'm sure most who enjoy flying FPV. This is a must have experience. Great video Cap't

Update: I flew the dji fpv in manual for 3 batteries worth of juice yesterday. Kept it high and moderate speeds and all was good. Only used the " oh sh*t" escape button twice in three batteries and then only when id lost the horizon and was below 30m.

[@JW-23]

OK please help me. Im torn.... I was close to pulling the trigger on the lite+ pro premium kit. Wife has already given the ok lol. However now I'm torn the DJI FPV looks so fun. If you had to choose between one drone out of those two what would it be. I'd get the fly more for the FPV. I saw the backpack you recommend so that makes up for the case I'd get with the Evo. I appreciate your thoughts.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm not the person to ask because I'm a pro (longtime drone flyer). DJI FPV is fun for me as it is a hybrid drone that I can fly like a camera drone or FPV drone (beginners should not attempt to fly this drone as an FPV drone as you will crash and destroy it). The LITE+ is a photography drone. So you have to decide on your needs.

Is it possible to invert the controls? For example, pulling the throttle stick would make it go up and pushing it would make it go down? Thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I don't think DJI lets you do this and you'd end up being the only person flying that way in the world.

[@FineBakedPastry]

The dji remote isn't customizable other than changing resistance tension and centering spring force for the throttle stick. Besides, I never heard of anyone using a reversed throttle stick. There is mode 1 and mode 2 control layouts (north america is mode 2) which changes which stick controls the throttle, but in both modes down is throttle down, and up means up.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@Blubarru1 if you plan to fly Only drones with the DJI Air receiver or Vista receiver then you can buy the BLACK DJI FPV RADIO. If you plan to fly all types of drones with many different receivers then you are going to have to learn how to program a radio, learn how to bind to a receiver, learn how to configure your settings in Betaflight, and finally your gonna have to learn how to operate a battery charger and charge batteries. For all of this watch my video series entitled CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS. Then after you have the knowledge, get yourself a Radiomaster TX16S.

Pretty cool watching Steve show Nelson. @CaptainDrone, you should definitely set up FPV classes for beginners. I'll definitely fly/drive to Canada just to take lessons from you. Do it up man!

[@JDubsPub]

Steve may not have in-person classes, but if you haven't already, you should check out his, "FPV for Beginners" series here on his channel. It is without doubt the best series you can watch to improve and learn the craft of FPV flying.

[@jcphotographystudio]

I'm not sure your so called real drone would win in a race with the 140kph DJI FPV, which is a real FPV by the way. I'm really not sure why you think it's not, maybe because it is designed to be a trainer FPV aswell.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You sound like you are new to the FPV Drone hobby. The DJI FPV Drone is called a HYBRID Drone, which is why you won't hear reviewers refer to it as an FPV Drone (an FPV drone does not have a GPS controlled begginer or GPS controlled Sport mode with joysticks centered). When the DJI FPV Drone is in Manual mode, the GPS is still active as well as many of the flight features to help out beginners. A real FPV Drone is very barebones with none of this assistance.

[@jcphotographystudio]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I understand that, but just because it has GPS, it doesn't mean its not a FPV. The GPS is not active while your in manual mode, it's only there for when you switch to sports or normal mode. It's a brilliant way of getting drone pilots in to FPV. Is an HYBRID pickup still a pickup or is it not a real pick up?

[@susmitdas]

Im thinking of getting a 'real' fpv to go with my DJI FPV, what would you recommend as something to compliment it (using dji goggles) ? Nazgul? Rekon? or perhaps emax babyhawk ii hd? (Im flying in M mode on DJI, so just want something that I can take throw around, lower - with less concern of damage ;) )

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

I saw about 28 m/s max in my "turtle" flights but that was mid flight. You can see a couple things: Steve always flew from a flying start whereas I was hovering.... so my accel was much slower. And I have a newbie tendency to let off the fwd stick in a turn as my fixed wing training has be wanting to pitch around to toghten the turn. That has me slowing and making the turn uncoordinated and I slew sideways with little fwd speed. Am breaking that habit now...

[@TheTechnobear]

@@nelsonprivateer7128 interesting, yeah... with M mode you don't have to keep pressing forward, so thats a bit 'easier' I thought you did well...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, very difficult because an FPV drone is very difficult to hover in full ACRO mode. (easier with goggles on).

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

I would suggest that an fpv drone is unstable by design ( as instability equates to agility). What makes it stable is the operator. Its akin to trying to balance a marble on an overturned bowl: any deviation from perfect has no righting forces....other than the pilot's inputs.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Do you think you would have done better LOS hovering had you changed the DJI rates? (new sub)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@AerRider The DJI FPV Drone has NORMAL mode which is what you use to hover (no rate change required). Also changing rates is a personal thing based on how far you wish to move the joysticks before an action takes place...

[@CloseEncountersFPV]

What makes yours a true fpv drone and the dji fpv not?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So your new to FPV to ask such a question, so I’ll keep it short and simple. Real FPV drones have no onboard assistance, such as Altitude Hold, GPS hold, ocusync, moveable camera gimbal, bottom height sensor, beginner flight modes, and most importantly, real FPV drones are not massively heavy nor do they break as easily on impact as they are designed to be crashed. Finally FPV drones are not restricted to one brand of remote, battery and goggles.

[@qiqil2046]

nice move u got there

[@Wilbertisthebeast]

I just got a mavic mini recently and I love it, but all your fpv videos makes me want to get an indoor/outdoor fpv starter kit any recommendations?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You could always start with one of the FPV "all in one" kits from EMAX, BETAFPV or GEPRC.

[@briancourtice2858]

Most of the FPV pilots I know learned to fly FPV without ever flying LOS. LOS is great fun, but it's really a whole different skill to learn. If Nelson really wants to learn FPV, he needs something like a 3s 3" fpv drone, but start with a 2s battery. He should learn to just cruise around down low, in a wide open area, in angle mode, When he can do that he should force himself to fly acro mode as soon as possible before angle mode teaches him too many bad habits. He will crash it a bunch, but 95% of the time he wont hurt the drone at all. The DJI FPV drone is great for chase footage as demonstrated here, but in my opinion, it is NOT a good drone for learning FPV. In full manual mode it's simply too fast and too heavy and too fragile. A beginner will be forced to rip around fast and high, which is not an ideal way to learn.
