I have poor motor control on one hand. The motion controller is the reason im buying one. No other drone hass that.

I just bought this drone. I was SO impressed with it I went all in , extra batts, backpack. I love the anti crash tech -must have. I went out of range and it comes back until you take it over. Very impressive. Yo need to go into goggles and disable all ROLLS in the controls. This is good to just get used to it. These guys are all picky but this drone is awesome. With the goggles INCREDIBLE. Worth every penny

I agree that getting a custom built FPV drone with go pro hero 9 is the way to go, however for someone who wants to get into FPV that doesn’t want to start building, soldering and tuning their quad, and simply wants to start flying right immediately, this thing is awesome( that is me). With good lighting/proper editing software you can still get some epic shots and serves a purpose in the world of FPV.

I looked up yours. I bought a walkera 210 deluxed night drone and looks like I flight. Walerka costs more than I flight and I hated it. Its not designed anywhere NEAR as nice, the DJI dorne has anit crash tech and it works, walkera nope and you WILL crash it.. Its superb. I put the Walkera back in its box and Im selling it $100 off (600) cost over $700 new. Dji kit is way way better.

If I was an enterprising FPV frame designer, I would consider making a frame that could mount the electronics of this drone. Lighter weight, higher durability, it would be a good performance upgrade, and an option for people who inevitably use up their care refresh to possibly give their busted drone a new lease on life without spending $750 for a whole new one.

Also has alot of safety measures like Collision avoidance. The camera gimble is easy to control with the switch. It goes 90 + plus miles an hour and it can fly in areas where you want to surveillance. It has N mode S sport mode and then M manual mode which should be full able to do acrobats and way more upgrades in the future no doubt to increase its capacity for those who become more efficient with them.

Ahh. yeah.. I've heard a lot of people coming from self built FPV drones (including myself) saying the same, we're ALL waiting for a DJI FPV drone with a carbon fibre frame, I think DJI would sell a lot more by doing a more "tinker friendly" drone.

Hey man, i would love to fly a nazgul but the only thing holding me back are the goggles which have problems activating if you don't have the dji drone.

The “I know what I’m doing so I should be able to break the rules” mode probably isn’t a good idea…

How was it with mounted gopro? And how would you compare it with nuzgal with mounted gopro?

It definitely breaks super easy. On my first crash, I was going like 5 miles an hour and I ran into a pool noodle, it slammed to the ground and burnt out the motor. lol BUT I send it in for repair, paid 75 and DJI sent me a whole replacement! So that was rad. So if you send yours in, pay for the repair not the replacement if you can! they will probably just send you a freshie.

I don’t how you turn your DJI fpv cause when I first started mine the first thing I got on my screen was the DJI care Refresh... like I don’t know what was wrong with your drone lmao...

Is it possible, when you've rached the max. 500 meter altitude when hovering onto something, to update the height to 0 and then hovering again 500 meters?

Also, why not modular parts? Especially the arms. Maybe designed with break points so all parts can be modular.

thanks bro

what is the name of your backpack?

I’m thinking about buying an FPV for a sixteen year old. From your perspective is it more economical to buy this as the first FPV or to do the build your own (he’s capable) and buy all the other components. Great reviews. I’ve got a Mavic Mini-3 Pro and I’ve subscribed to your channel now. Well done!

You do really good reviews.

Could you take out the camera from the drone and modify the GoPro camera for it??

Geofencing and height limit are a killer

If the drone weighed less than 250g, would it’s lightness aid in crash worthiness (less mass/weight) or worsen it (fragility/less flight time with smaller batteries)? I’d settle for less than 20-30 minutes flight time if it were 15-20 minutes.

If you’re new to flying and want to get the basics down this is a good place to start but once you learn I would stick to building one and not dealing with DJI complicated softwares

Carbon fiber frame. I’m with ya there.. the power? I live in a place with high elevation where oxygen is thinner and even in those conditions. I never have a problem with power. The one and only issue I have is the process to replace an arm. The soldering. The full unbuild process. They need to develop the vers 2.0 with quick assembly/disassembly parts for rapid redeployment. That’s the number one issue with quads from dji. Even I have replacement arms with motors on them with 3 prong connectors ready to install and go

good info thank you

Dji care refresh is ABSOLUTELY a MUST HAVE for beginners! I got it with my mini 2 (first ever drone) and have used it once already... on the very first day 😓 That hurt. But it was definitely a favorable situation to not having purchased the plan! Mine was $50, $49 to replace, would be $70 for second but that won't happen. $250 for flyaway.

This DJI FPV setup would probably be the best option for you. You need goggles, camera, receiver for camera and for remote, remote and the drive itself. I built my first FPV drone from scratch but you wouldn't have any GPS or ability to hover automatically. You would have to spend some time in a FPV simulator to learn how to fly in Acro mode. If you pick up a DJI FPV combo setup then everything you need is included and you can fly almost immediately.

Question I enjoy vid goggles, So fpv through a phone screen is stupid. If i wanted a mavic can i get a set up where i can use say fathshark goggles on a mavic ? Because its the better drone just fpv with goggles can you ?

might i suggest looking up 4500m up in DJI fpv drone. Also are you using full acro in any of these scenarios, I may be wrong but it seems more like you are flying only in sport mode

maybe the menuverability is something that can be adjusted in the control settings?

So how does this thing work in regards to flying rules? I was under the impression you weren’t allowed to fly your drone “out of your range of sight” which is about 1500ft. If you’re doing fpv you can’t really “keep an eye on it” lol. Just wondering how that works. Edit, I found the rules. Apparently if you are using FPV goggles you must have a “spotter” or designated person to watch your drone to make sure it never goes out of line of sight.

Its almost like it dropped radio signal but kept video for some odd reason and i wish i could say it only happened temporarily i cant even say that for sure because it really only took 1-2 seconds of that issue happening before it was smashed to pieces to the point where im left having to buy replacement everything pretty much. Its crazy to me that your basically describing what 100% also happened to me. Prior to this i never had a single issue and flew it relatively often but not so much that it would make sense for it to be possibly a motor going out either.
