The DJI FPV Drone - 3 Years Later - 2024

Ғылым және технология

The DJI FPV Drone is 3 years old!
For anyone who is a beginner and wants a Ready To Fly FPV Drone that is DIGITAL, then the DJI FPV Kit or the DJI AVATA Kit are excellent, because the FPV Digital Goggles can be used with all the PRO FPV Drones on the market and a BEGINNER can fly either drone in NORMAL Mode right out of the box with no skills.

    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).

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.

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

    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.

    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've had my DJI FPV for well over two years and I consider it a blast to fly especially with the motion controller. I was into FPV with the Fat Shark style goggles years back but I never developed the skills to fly in ACRO mode, it was a dummied down version. I could do flips and rolls effortlessly and that was good enough for me knowing the cost of replacing the Quad. These first Gen DJI goggles were the reason I bought this. Amazing. Thanks for the video. Fly in warmer weather next time, I'd like to see the thawed river!

    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.

    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.

    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. 🍻

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    As far as I'm concerned, as to downsides of this drone, the big elephant in the room that's barely discussed in reviews is the remote control. I'd use it far more often if I could bind it to one of my fav remote controls. There's always this second guessing going on that just doesn't allow me to enjoy flying it like my other fpv quads. I find this RC is generally ill conceived also. I know this is purely subjective and about stick time on this dji rc but it kills my motivation to add stick time all together.

    I got into FPV before I spent a lot of money and time researching bought the best even started with emaxx tinyhawk 2s. Was great with little one then took off with my 5 inch I punched up never saw again extremely too fast analog was all we had then only a few ago too. But the biggest problem is technology in fpv gear flies faster then the drone soo much new tech every week/ month then Dji and few others got digital and I got out but still have everything even brand new batteries. So I got a DJI mini Pro recently.

I fly it out in the mountains where no one's around. It's perfect for a cliff diving. I think the onboard 4k camera is pretty good although not as good as a GoPro.
