About a year ago i wathed your video on the novice iv and dicidet to buy it and try out the hobby with was the best thing that ever happened to me sice i was struggling with depression after my best and only freind moved kenya and i felt alone and like i was never good enough I tried alot of things and struggled really much since my brother was also diagnosed with adhd and i suddenly had to be the bigger one and always be there for him wven tho i was barely able to be there for myself Fpv really helped me and kept my attention elsewhere so i finnaly found something to do with myself Now i have found friends in the hobby and more will to live Im so thankful for the world you introduced me to and for the great times i have had Thanks Steve

Hi Steve, thanks for another great review! I'm getting confused though, trying to decide between the Defender, Cinelog, and now this Dolly! Add in the size choices and GPS, it becomes extremely difficult for me to choose. I'm pretty committed to using my DJI controller and goggles, so whatever it is will have the 03 Air unit. My question is, if I change the parameters to fly a certain drone using BetaFlight, will I have to change it back to fly my DJI FPV? Do those parameters stay with whatever drone I have my goggles set to, or will I have to change the controller back each time I switch drones? Thanks for your time, and happy new year.

@CAPTAINDRONE798

5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately that is the problem with DJI beginner products in that the person coming from that world is lost as to how things work in the RC Hobby. So to answer your question, in the DJI world of trying to be part of the real FPV hobby, your DJI FPV goggles will connect to everything you have ever bound them to. This means that say you bought yourself 100 different FPV drones all with the DJI O3 unit in them, and you bound your DJI Goggles to all 100. Your DJI Goggles will remember all 100 so no matter which one of the 100 drones you fly, your DJI FPV goggles will automatically connect. This is also true with the DJI FPV Remote 2. Where it gets weird with DJI is when you have your 100 FPV drones and also the DJI AVATA or DJI FPV DRONE or you have older FPV Drones with the DJI AIR UNIT in them. The only way to bind and connect back to them, after you’ve been flying the DJI O3 system is to go in your goggles and change the connection type to one of those systems and then reboot the goggles. You may also have to rebind the remote to them.

Hey, check that fish out and show us all.

Thank you for this review! Will you re-fly the drone and update if the vibrations persist under throttle in warmer conditions? I am also in Canada so that would be nice to know.

Another reviewer in a warmer climate will provide the vibration answer (I was probably the first to get my hands on this drone, but soon others will follow and test)

Hey steve Im having trouble binding my ELRS draknight and i was wondering if you had any trouble binding also. Im trying to bind it with a radiomaster pocket.

@CAPTAINDRONE798

6 ай бұрын

No issues on my end as I have to bind every drone that exists under the sun to every type of radio. If it does not bind, it is because you are doing something wrong. If you are new at this, then there are a hundred things going wrong which is why it is difficult to help. If you are experienced, then you know exactly what to check for to sort it out.

Also get heating jakeet and had to keep you warm

You’ll need to also do Betaflight so that you can tell the drone what you want the switches on your DJI REMOTE CONTROLLER 2 to be assigned to (such as arming the motors and selecting flight modes).

@CAPTAINDRONE798

The motion controller by DJI was designed for beginners with no experience to fly, because DJI research showed that some people could not grasp using joysticks for a variety of reasons. Nothing “beginner” like exists in the true FPV hobby, so no one supports the motion controller in the true FPV hobby (not even DJI). Will they in the future? Probably not because in the true FPV hobby everything needs to have a flight controller that runs on BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR and there are no plans to add the motion controller for the very small number of people that would use it.

I don't believe this is the drone you're looking for.

If you can fly your AVATA in MANUAL mode without crashing, then you can certainly handle ACRO mode.
