The DJI FPV Drone - 3 Years Later - 2024

[@RICO-BugkillerFPV]

Love my Dji FPV for almost three years now. Saw it reviewed on Captin Drone and had to have it. It opened up a whole new world for me. Now I'm addicted to the hobby.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That’s why I’m in the hobby… i’m addicted

[@TomsPropertyCare]

People hate it, I love it. It got me ready for the Mark5. Held my hand, told me where it got lost, and it's my drone that I wish DJI would update to O4.

[@dangerous8333]

I hear you, but thankfully I don’t need to spend $800 for practice devices. I have so many hobbies if I did that I would be broke. I started immediately with bind and fly’s, and I never had any of those issues you listed. I would never recommend this to beginner pilots.

[@TomsPropertyCare]

@@dangerous8333 You've clearly never lost a quad in an unfamiliar area or done long range if you don't have a need to tell you where its at. 🤣 It's hard to recommend the DJI FPV in 2024 with how dated the camera is. For the right price I'd recommend it to a novice that's not ready for manual flight simply to flick back into a stabilized mode, something Beta flight's not really good at with GPS yet.

[@pickledpeppers1577]

I have two of the FPVs and an Avata and love them all. I'm certainly no FPV racer/stunter as I would wager a large percentage of us are and these drones are a perfect fit. The immersion/sense of flight with the goggles and impressive video (more so on the Avata) checks the boxes for me. Note: Mini Pro 3 and 4 along with Air 3 are now compatible with Goggles and motion controller (which is a fantastic and intuitive way to fly imo).

[@uncbadguy]

I will wait three years to buy the Avata. Too fkn pricy right now

[@uncbadguy]

I'm a "beginner" that has been disappointed by every "easy to fly" drone I wasted money on. This is my first FPV drone BUT! 28yrs of satisfying my flight lust with flight simulators... Developing the skill should be somewhat easier. Also, this one is the one that exceeds my maximum requirements. #1 being no fkng around with a fkn smart phone. #2 I don't want to start in a fast mode for learning. #3 FPV #4 good return mode #5 some sort of collision avoidance. #6 under a thousand bucks. FKN Amazon showed it to me before I bought a lot of crappy drones that would not connect to the smart phone. Thanks a lot, Cappin'! USEFUL Video!! SUBSCRIBED

I hate the thing even though I've never owned one and never will. However the idea of having such a preposterous "fat pig" is kinda appealing especially since it's being discontinued.

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Hating something you've never owned or never will, go get some air mate

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

@DroningaboutIreland I've watched enough reviews of it to know I wouldn't like it at all. Doesn't mean I hate people who like it. Fly whatever you wanna fly and don't let anyone stop you! I just enjoy true fpv drones. No need to get upset my man. I guess saying I hate it is the wrong word to use as well. I'd consider getting one if I could get it cheap. I enjoy testing out drones that do something different than all the rest 😊 I already got a mini and fpv drones so it wouldn't really bring anything new to the table for me and it's really fragile so that's why it's a no go for me

What’s your opinion on the fpv vs avata 2 for a beginner?

[@RealNaisuCinema]

1:52 that’s just simply not true though lol. You can use manual mode which doesn’t have obstacle avoidance which is weird because at the bottom of the screen you have “my complaints refer to flying in manual mode” obstacle avoidance is only for certain modes and I don’t remember but I’m pretty sure you can turn it off for those as well

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The point is… there is no such thing as an FPV Drone with obstacle avoidance installed.

[@RealNaisuCinema]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes but you said you were referring to manual mode and I don’t want people to be mislead into thinking they’ll have to deal with obstacle avoidance while trying to fly in manual mode. That could be a dealbreaker for some people unnecessarily since it doesn’t actually come into play if you’re flying in manual mode.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@RealNaisuCinemaha ha, anyone on this planet that would think obstacle avoidance exists in Acro/Manual mode is 100% not ready for Manual/Acro. I think most clued into what I was saying as I’ve said the same thing many times over since the release of the DJI FPV years ago.

[@alanhelton]

It has yet to grow old on me this ol flyin brick!

[@xatmallorqui]

I LOVE this drone. It's heavy, yes; but it's just as agile as any other lighter FPV. I've seen videos of DJI FPV flying next to other "traditional" FPVs, and if you don't see it "physically", you wouldn't be able to tell which one is which when it comes to agility and speed. But, in my opinion, aside from the incredible battery life compared to other FPVs, it's the image. You can't ask for more: electronically stabilized, 4K recording on the drone card and 1080p on the goggles, practically 0 latency; and you can change the camera angle in mid-flight! PS: Where can I find skin as spectacular as that? 😍

[@Khrenan]

the sound comes purely from the props? or somethign else?

[@cappi10]

Wondering what you mean by it doesn't like your fpv input. I'd like to know the difference in flying this versus a regular fpv drone.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ya gotta come from the FPV drone hobby to understand 9you have to be a seasoned FPV pilot from days of old). There is a reason seasoned FPV pilots won’t touch a DJI Hybrid drone like this one or the Avata series. I’m one of the few who actually fly the DJI FPV drones often because I make use of the hybrid features for filming review videos.

The only thing I have used is mini equipment and I want to improve the work we are doing by increasing the weight capacity and availability of the drone at all times.

[@AlexKramer-w6y]

The gps is very good with return to home, tried it flying over hilly terrain last time going 1.5km away in manual was great fun zooming round hills and doing twists and loops, but wah! Only got 6mins out of it before battery very low. Now what happened I put it into return to home, it managed to get to 20meters of me then went into forced landing but before it got half way down from 100m altitude I lost signal completely and thought battery was dead and it dropped, however when I got to where it landed it was in one piece, no damage and when I checked the SD recording it had landed softly under power and still had enough juice to record me walking up to it even though it had lost connection with goggles, (no obstacles blocking signal involved) although when I pressed the battery check button there were no lights on. I recharged that battery, seems ok, no warnings come up, in your opinion would it be safe to use that battery again or should I hover test it first just to be sure?. Well like EV’s it’s still the battery that is biggest problem love to fly fast with acrobatics but at least 30mins like, not 5 to 7min if lucky. The battery time left when flying that drone in manual is a risky bet apart from that still like it and they are cheap to replace going for £179 on ebay people selling them off drone only in like brand new condition why cheaper than just 03 camera on its own, some have even modded it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The battery should still be good because DJI builds a low voltage cut off into the battery. It may take a couple of charges before it returns to peak performance. You’ll know when flying, because if a battery cell has been damaged it just won’t give you full power at full speed.

[@TaylorK298]

I've been looking to get the fpv and I've gotten use to the avata and wanted something with more power and cant get it cus the old goggles teck is to pricey to justify getting

[@benwhite5848]

great video, in your honest opinion going between a fpv and avata 2 currently with the avata 2 it's $1400aud, and nearly $2000aud for the dji fpv and i have to buy every part of it essentially so body replacement, props, battery, controller, and headset obviously all from amazon us and some aussie retail stores shipped all to Australia so i'm abit offput about that part essentially buying a drone piece by piece all new tho or open box, do you know any sellers selling a complete kit still? also i'm relatively competent with flying and plan to fly in open areas which drone is the better go in this case I feel as tho the avata 2 will be underwhelming considering top speed in sport is slower then my air 2s in sport. any input would be great. i also found a complete dji fpv kit from amazon us but i'm concerned that i wouldn't be able to get dji care refresh Aswell due to it being a different country of purchase.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The only input I will add is…. ONLY buy the DJI FPV Drone if you have experience flying an FPV Drone. The AVATA2 on the other hand, is much newer and way better for new pilots, and much safer.

[@benwhite5848]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks i have decided on the AVATA 2 with your advice and also the fpv remote 3 for manual flight, with this setup would i also be able to get a nazgul eco or equivalent and use the controller and fpv headset as I was thinking ill use the avata 2 for abit and then buy a faster bigger fun drone to add once i get the hang of it.

I can't believe it's been 3 yrs already. I remember this thing turned the fpv world upside down. All the die-hards hated it but everyone that flew camera drones had a crossover. It always blew me away how fast and heavy and powerful it was. Like a cannonball with spinning dicing blades.😅😂

Just updated mine yesterday to the latest firmware, and now manual mode is wonky, and yes I saw that the switch defaulted back to sport on setting 3. Thinking maybe it didn’t like an airport like 5-10 miles away…? Or something about set a screw tighter but not a consistent warning . So I think they must have added several conditions that are/could prohibit manual mode. I have used manual mode in this location many times before, no problems. Anyone else? Cheers Yep Captain, it’s fun but sure has my neighbors on the lake hating the noise/whine… they are not happy with it so I don’t fly it very often….

Whenever you do a firmware update on the DJI FPV or DJI AVATA, all settings return to default, so Manual mode settings will be gone as well as any rates or PID adjustments as well as Joystick centering…. You have to do everything all over again.

Excellent 3 year review Steve, I have two of these, highly recommend this heavy beast when flying in the mountains like here in Oregon unexpected gusts of wind will come up and all you won’t see much of an impact on this drone like you would if flying the mini 4 pro; The fpv has great features and with one I have the dji Mimo connected to it with motion controller I AND is simply amazing WITH integra goggles. I do enjoy the mini 4 pro with the motion controller 2 and goggles too as a result of that option I purchased a mini 4 pro instead of the Avata, I enjoy the master air screw props the ones Steve initially showed are great for highest speed if a gusty day I will go with the heavier master air screw props, yes the batteries are expensive and they should design the fpv series to use a compatible battery for years in my opinion. Note: I saw thru dji dealers a chart showing compatible motion controllers the Motion controller 2 is currently not compatible with DJI fpv I think many have updated that information. I recommend the Startrc foldable landing gear for the fpv also

[@GregsMakerCorner]

Thanks for the video! I just dusted my DJI FPV drone off and flew it this past week. It's still a great drone for many of the reasons you showed! I normally fly my own home built drones, but it's hard to get really good video (especially with a stable hover) compared to a DJI Drone. My biggest complaint is that DJI is overly aggressive and makes you get approval for a lot of class G air space in the US (if there is a small rural airport, helipad, etc.). Drone Hacks are a great way to get around this. One of the big downsides to this drone is the weight, and in the US you need a remote ID as of March 14, 2024 to fly legally. DJI does have some capability with the latest firmware to enable a remote ID broadcast, but it comes at the expensive of requiring internet access and you goggles tethered to a phone. I decided to buy a stand alone (holybro) remoteID which can easily be velcro'd to the top.

[@RobertDunaway]

Captain My Captain - Awesome review! This was my first venture into FPV and I still fly it routinely. While it gets bashed I like it to take it out when I haven't flown in awhilw and need to shake off the cobwebs. Also here in windy Colorado it takes the winds a bit better. When I first started my ventures up into the mountains I found that this drone helped build my confidence flying the high peaks. Finally, I don't have to worry about having to worry about Remote ID compliance with it. Yes, it flys like a pig, but it's my pig and I like it! Thanks for what you do and keep doing it.

I want best camera Flight Time Obstacle Avoidance And Def Range ....i want to do like roof inspections,photos of the lighthouse while there is alot of wind,"Rain"...and it not get blown away to the sea,and get ruined...maybe fly to the other side of the property which is 7 miles and come back without dying....thinking a Pro Version??? Whats ur thoughts "OH MIGHTY DRONE GOD"

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Best is always the newest at the best bang for buck price. That would be the DJI Mini 4 Pro.

Great review Steve, love my DJI FPV, great camera, reliable and my go to for FPV cinematic footage in manual mode.

[@derikdang8829]

Captain Drone - Thank you for the "spot-on" review and good point of view about this particular DJI drone. Always well-done video 👍👍.

[@preyface456fromchicago8]

Wow.. I see the propellers.. 😮

[@DanteKeith]

You should have flown with your new Dji goggles. The camera quality from the DJI FPV is way better through the newer integra/goggles 2

[@gbkiller007]

Flying mine on Saturday at the James Bond Skyfall Road in Scotland. Still love this drone and it has its uses. I'm on my third Avata and still flying the original DJIFPV. Manual mode on it is still a lot of fun but make sure you are in a wide open unpopulated space. Like the Scottish highlands. Or Mars. Although I reckon even if you fly it on Mars your neighbours will still hear it.

You have videos? Love Scotland

I bought this drone with the motion controller for various non-FPV pilots to fly, and combined they all have much more time on it than myself. My dad has chased my FPV plane around with it in sport mode quite competently. My sister, some cousins and some neighbor kids have flown it in normal mode. I give em some basic instructions, get em in the air, tell em to fly over power poles (not between em, as it can't see wires) and pretty much set em loose on their own.

[@jasondonavich2758]

I think a lot of the freestyle community hate it because they think it’s designed for freestyle fpv when it’s basically a 5” that’s meant to be flown like a 7” cinematic cruiser

[@SkyDomeVIZE]

I was literally, searching for DJI fov video settings and your video came up. Thanks. This FPV is really good, but the noise and carrying everything for regular travel is a pain. I had mine for over a year and planning to use it way more this summer.

[@tomling9310]

I love mine. I regularly fly it, have over 140 flights on each battery, but they are starting to loose their punch. But I love the fact it does a little bit of everything. 100% recommend to get the drone hacks and “release” its potential. 👍

[@kevinkelly6754]

Would you buy this drone now; I've always wanted one and your making a strong case ❤

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

This is more a drone for people who only know how to fly a DJI MAVIC or DJI MINI and want to fly around with FPV Goggles in NORMAL and SPORT modes. So with that said, as an experienced FPV pilot, I probably would not buy it, unless of course I wanted the goggles and remote 2, then the bonus of getting the drone makes it worth it.

[@mssippijim]

If any of you are considering this in the U.S. now, be aware if firmware is upgraded, with anything other than integra, you will have to connect your phone to it for gps before it will allow you to fly. Get the integra goggles with built in gps.

[@NeMoKrK]

i have this drone and i love this drone :)

[@maddercat]

I bought one used at like half price just a few days ago, it was basically worth it just for the goggles I think since I've always flown analog I don't have any hd systems and I guess the v2's that come with it are compatible with all the dji transmitters. I have a lot of real fpv drones but I always wondered about this one cause it has remote id built in and all the safety stuff, I think I might really like it. I also wondered if it would be possible to take all the plastic off it and modify it, or take all the guts out and put them on a real fpv frame.

[@Sonic_Ox]

I've never owned a DJI quad but it occurs to me that a lot of us DIY quad builders, especially us cinematic guys, spend a lot of time and money trying to get our quads to perform like DJI quads lol. I've built a 7" DIY analog with GPS etc and I'm almost finished with a digital 3.5" cinewhoop with 03 Air Unit and Integra goggles and it's REALLY fun and satisfying to build my own. BUT I'd probably be money ahead and have better performance (for my flying style) if I'd just started with DJI. There are however a lot of things I don't like about DJI as a company. Mostly their proprietary nature and the difficulty in repairing their products yourself. Thanks for another great review Steve. Happy flying amigo. 🍻

[@Raptor50aus]

Nice Steve, I have had mine for 3 years next month in April. Still flying excellent. Don't see the need to replace it. Flew out the over 3km today no issues and excellent range. If it had optical zoom it would be perfect for me.

[@AdamWeatherall]

Best consumer drone ever made hands down

[@silverspork86]

I still love mine. I fly manual mode only and somehow have never crashed it. I'm also usi😮ng old firmware and purposely do not update because if you get RID on it, you need to have your phone hooked up to fly. I'd love a dji fpv mini or a beefed up fpv with carbon fiber frame. Love being able to drop it out of manual mode to be able to safely land. Just flew in 50mph gusts here in MI. Crazy lol. Was giving high wind warnings but it handled just fine in manual.

[@jaynorthwoods]

Yep I realize phone needed to be on for the RID , but it still acted strange. It wouldn’t even arm though if I didn’t update. So kind of disappointing…. Cheers

[@silverspork86]

​@@jaynorthwoods weird. I haven't updated firmware in 2 years and it I have no issues going flying.

[@onemandrone]

I love flying it.. im not a manual flyer..
