I was MAD excited when DJI released the new FPV drone! I've been flying regular drones for many years so I thought it was gonna be pretty straight forward... until it wasn't. Watch, as the wild DJI fangirl gets put in her place when she realises how much there is to learn when it comes to FPV drone flying. Hellava fun drone to fly though. So excited to fly more and get better and better footage with it!
Thanks so much to @MaiOnHigh for teaching me your ways and being so patient with me. Check out her channel for more FPV drone racing: / maionhigh
Thank you also to Chris for teaching me and dealing with my frustrations when I can't fly the gosh damn simulator properly. Go follow him for more FPV footage on instagram: @chris1ton

i think dji fpv is dumb for beginners, realy when you think, when you are learning fpv, dji dont have anythink beginner really needs, it could seems like those features is cool for beginners but 99% of times in practice it useless.. . the price and fragility ratio is outrageous. fixing price cost u about 2-10 regular beginners drones that have pretty mutch same performance/handling or better. besides landing on its own, i gess there no feature beginers realy benefits, especially for the price. for first drone i got tyro79 for 80$ that with better battery outperforms dji fpv and i still have it, crashed many times, so to learn fpv it did cost me around 80$, no soldering, no fixing, no hastle, get out of the box and fly.
I love when you explain things, you seem always so kind and logic and relatable but never boring. It's a skill. And your film making is amazing too. I can see how you have continuously put in the effort over the years. Excited where all this is going 😊

I would really suggest building an fpv quadcopter, they withstand crashes like a tank, unlike the dji fpv drone. You will save a ton of money and learn properly. Not for the faint of heart though.

Well it depends, if you want to just try FPV, the DJi drone is great, now if you want to get really good at it, you'll have to push yourself and crash - and for that you'll need a DIY drone - the DJI drone is made to break so you pay for the DJI care every year.

Not trying to be disrespectful but I hate how people call these stabilized drones (regular drones) it all started with guys in their garages building multi rotors from Wii controllers. they weren't stabilized, they didn't have return to home, no save me button. these are regular drones, as they came first. after that came all of the manufacturers that started putting all of the things that make a multi rotor basically fly themselves. they should be called handicap drones instead of regular drones. just my opinion. 🤔
I definitely didn’t expect “DJI Fangirl” to be in the final title after all that deliberation 😂

That's what I like about the DJI FPV. I know from experience that learning to fly in manual mode takes a lot of practice. But even if your skills are not there yet, you can still obtain decent FPV shots through flying in N or S mode!

Exactly, I am an experienced FPV pilot. Tried the DJI Drone in Manual mode and was really not impressed... The controller isn't precise enough, the drone doesn't fly nearly as good as my other FPV drones, the footage doesn't look as good, even the fly time wasn't that much better than my 6inch with a big battery. THEN i fly the DJI drone in sport mode and it felt like a much better machine, better tuned, better balanced, footage looks more stable in sports mode too... This is just the way this thing has been designed.
Hannah, your music choice while doing your first flight was epic. It had my heart racing and me holding my breath. Fantastic video quality, too!

Once again, fabulous taste choosing the music for both your footage and @chris1ton's (+ masterful editing) 👏.
Great video and funny too! Hope you stick with FPV because its so rewarding once the controls start to feel natural to you and you can hit tiny gaps all day long. I found with me, the first approx 10hrs on the sim my flying was complete garbage but just persisting with about an hour of practice a day all of a sudden it just clicks into place and your fingers work the controls without you really having to think about it anymore. Basically you build that muscle memory, it just takes time for your brain to learn it automatically. Look forward to some cool FPV edits in the future!
I remember 6 years ago my first build and flight of my new quad I was so hard to fly it then couple of flights something just clicked and I got hooked now it’s like nothing have fun never give up and stay fly stay high y’all get there it’s all about stick time
Nice flying! It’s always amazing to spend some time with you.
Woah, I didn't know those kind of drones even were a thing, they look like a lot of fun! And they produce quite some amazing footage. Also great work on your progress there!
That was an awesome ride! Love seeing people learn rate mode, it's a completely different world from angle mode but your progress was phenomenal!!!!! It's such a difficult move because you basically have to unlearn everything you know about angle mode and it makes it very difficult :) congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was very cool!
I've walked the kiyotaki trail so many times the moment i saw the shots you shot there i recognized it like 1 mili-second in haha. great shots though! good luck with it :D

So awesome Hannah...great job! Your videos are my favorites and I'm sure this new drone will be an amazing "tool" for you. Have fun...
Very interesting to hear about your FPV journey. You can buy a micro whoop quadcopter with Acro mode for about $100. And they're close to indestructable. You could practise Acro flying with one of them and not worry too much about crashing. After a period of time practising with the whoop and the simulator, you could go back to flying the $2000 DJI bird in Acro mode and worry less about crashing it.

the best thing to do is practise bank turns, and emergency stops (manually) the bank turns will slowly hook up the hand eye coordination, you will find you go exactly where you want to go without thinking and the emergency stops will get you used to really messy visuals that you recover from. ps. flying slowly with a fast quad is a whole other skillset, super fun and great images to be had from mixing ultra slow through trees or whatever and then opening up to a big scene. my only real tip for going slow is use the throttle to go down and the pitch to go up, and don't freak out when you clip a branch or are forced to chop some small branches.
FPV is sooo much fun..Thank you for sharing your first steps!..There are plenty of cheaper options for beginner to try...look for RTF(ready to fly) fpv bundles.. Emax tinyhawk or Geprc tinygo..DJI is good though if you can afford it!
Wow😮.. This is awesome 😍

I bought an air 2s been flying it for about two weeks. Brother brought over his DJI fpv. Flew it once and fell in love. Very easy to fly in all three modes. Of course flying around obstacles takes some practice but still pretty easy to get the hang of
FPV manual mode is super different than flying a drone like the Mavic Air 2. Practicing on the simulator will help for sure, I started learning on a tiny hawk and flew inside a lot until I got the hang of it! I absolutely love FPV & I know that you will get better at it and fall in love 😍❤️🤙
Good job!
Love FPV content! I'm planning to try and get out there and film some myself once COVID is over. Until then, I'm spending many hours in the sim.
I’d definitely say you are an excellent cinematic drone pilot. You are a great inspiration to me. I just started flying this year. Got myself the Mini 2. Also yes that simulator is quite tough, especially when you try to control it just with the phone screen.

Happy you are dipping your toe into the FPV pilotry. Forgive my right brain from making associations & connections, but I think everyone’s nudge into simulation training before making IRL flights illustrates the benefits of Pomodoro Work intervals: although one could just plow through nonstop, there’s probably utility in 25 minutes locked on & 5 minute breaks for 4 work intervals then taking an extended break. My 1st exposure to the method was in working through Kimon Nicolaïdes’ The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study. There the work/rest reset intervals where broken up with gesture/contour/memory & related modeling study drawings. There is also the use of the same in writing as seen in the numerous NaNoWriMo & CampNaNoWriMo virtual write-ins. I’m not sure how, but I have illusions that the same can be applied to video editing.
Brilliant video 👍 now you know why we do what we do!!

Hi ! nice vídeo, now how do you connect the goggles to the smartphone ?. Thx for your review !
Did you remove the spring for the throttle in the remote for manual mode?
You really do nice videos :-)
I've always wondered how using VR headsets for FPV stack against the drone use laws in Japan. www.mlit.go.jp/en/koku/uas.html [6] Operate UA/Drones within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS). You don't exactly have a visual line of sight if your eyes are covered? Or as long as you have an imaginary visual line of sight? (i.e. there is no obstructions between your control device and the drone, to decrease the chance of malfunction, but covering your eyes to see from the drones POV is ok?) Or is it OK to have a "co-pilot" maintaining the visual line of sight? Or the "visual line of site" is somehow averted if your vision becomes the drones vision?
@CurrentlyHannah
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah there’s a few rules pertaining to the use of drones that have headsets, like this FPV drone and they state that if you have a co-pilot that can keep a visual line of site and keep an eye on conditions etc then you’re all good.
Oof, that fpv footage looks so exciting. I swear I leant back in my chair a bit on the dive. After seeing Potato Jet make the switch to FPV from DJI I know it takes obsessive practice to get to a point where you're a natural. Such speed. It looks like it's going to drink video bitrate to get it looking super smooth, though. I'd be surprised if you don't need to upload the full 200mbps at 4k just to get it looking clean on youtube going full speed.
I just bought the arm braces for mine ...to help prevent trashing it so easily 😱😎
I need it too!
Very nice!!!! She can fly!!!
It's hard because the rates are too high, and there's no way to change it on the simulator. I started practicing on the DRL sim, and it was so much better. With a few hours of practice, I was flying acro and doing freestyle tricks. The DRL sim has a good tutorial.
Thank you for sharing your experience trying to transition to an FPV drone and your efforts to improve! When flying the drone in manual mode, does moving your head change your view? I suspect not, which would make it a bit harder to adapt to, but I have no idea.

Brilliant video! On point and glad to see ppl that only flew dji stuff have an option of trying "the real deal" of flying however im sad that dji has created such a poor build "fpv drone" . They should have listened. Now users of dji fpv are destroying the poor piece that isnt really cheap... Happy to see your fight with the controller :) im sorry I propably should not amile to see you struggling but its joyfull :) well done you!
Good jobb using the sim to practice before you get up in the air with the drone i manuel mode. Could see that it help you alot from the first clip with the sim ;) keep working and you will be doing some great filming with it :)

Welcome to your new addiction. Welcome to the dark side :) I was already subbed to both you and Lexi, it's great to see the colab
When you have fun playing FPV successfully, although I didn't play it, I was very happy too. . . Haha
I believe that as a beginner you should fly FPV (ACRO mode) for the first time with a 65 - 85 tiny whoop. Because these are much cheaper, easier to repair yourself and less dangerous. But who has money without end and the safety is not so important yes then DJI FPV. If I'm not mistaken, the DJI FPV has 950 g. So for this you need at least in the EU even the large drone license. From 2024: 250 - 900 g small drone license. From 900 g large drone license.
The last place where you finally mastered the manual mode in fpv, would you tell the location.The location is awesome.

Nice one! I've been flying since the 1st gen DJI Phantom (before live video feed). I've been wanting to get into FPV for a while but was disappointed the DJI FPV doesn't do all the intelligent flight modes etc. that the other standard drones do - i.e. you can't use it as an all-in-one device.

Good to see this getting some mainstream popularity. I have been with FPV drone flying from then it used to get amazement from people to the point in which it generated fear in people after years of that I decided to stop for a while for the negative hype died down a bit. Looks like it's time for me to get back into it. Also crashing these are is quite normal even for experienced pilots. Sometimes you just have to learn to not think about the amount of cash you will lose by crashing it.
