DJI made an FPV drone. It's freaky. Do you want it? (DJI FPV Drone Review)

I know I must have missed a few questions. Let me know underneath this comment and I'll try to answer as many as I can.

I'm flying mode 4 for 40 years. And now?? I'm feeling bad. 😢 But i fly only fixed wing. 😊 Watching your videos because they are very informative. I'm going to build a 5 inch drone so my two sons, who are also heavy into RC modeling, can fly it. BTW also in mode 4. What did you expect. 😊

Hello Joshua...I need your help...I have purchased DJI Avata and DJI Drone. Is the DJI drone compatible with the RC Motion 2 and DJI Goggle 2?

I bought it for photogrammetry. Laught it all out. It works, battery is short, but plan your sequences and that thing gives you sharp moves to avoid situations. I want this over a mavik or mini any time.

Thank you for all your great videos thinking about. Buying the DJIFPV to add to my drone collection..
When you adjust it, the attitude limit and turn that off Can you turn that same control off when using sport mode? So wondering if you could do a little bit of acrobao with the assistance Up sport mode

Am I the only one having issues to set the record from the camera to 4:3 instead of 16:9 ? Cant find it in the settings. Thanks a lot

Never flew a drone before nor had an interest until this came out. 8 months down the road I have learned to fly acro, learned how to fix this quad after big crashes, learned more about the fpv world because I found your channel, and now want to build my own quad because of it. Because DJI made this drone and combo system, it got me into the sport. Now I am hooked. Thanks for all your hard work and excellent videos for us who are still learning!

Thanks for talking me out of considering a lightly used FPV to mix in with my other DJI equipment. After I get some practice with my upcoming Mobula8 + O3 Air, I'll build one.

i put a 360 a insta 360 camera on my dji fpv drone .i didnt go to far and the goggles said esc overhaeting is there any way to run the camera without frying the esc it still runs great but i'm afraid of burning it up

Its a great beiginner FPV drone probably the best for someone who wants to do long range cinematic stuff. Wouldn't recommend it for freestyle at all though.

This is the gateway drug to full FPV

The ending🤣🤣🤣

I race/freestyle, build my own ofcourse,,and still love dji fpv drone,,,its nice,,,im both analog and dji now. Totally worth it...

luv it FPV !

Man the durability is crap. I’ve abused my smart 35 and even accidentally disarmed like at 200ft or more. It was on grass though. That sucker is still flying like day one.

Would you be interested in doing a review on a DJI FPV auxiliary LED reflector? It mounts to the bottom of the drone to reflect the auxiliary light forward to fly in the dark. It does not affect landing feet.

I've never had the balls to do a flip with the DJI FPV.

Thank you man, a very detailed review. I will give it a shot and get one of these. I come from GPS drones, but I am also building a 5inch FPV and I will use the DJI Googles with it. I have many hours in the simulator, ca't wait to give it a real try :D

Best review you should watch before you buy DJI FPV drone

Love my DI FPV Drone, I want to buy an O3 Air unit for one of my Fixed aircraft. Is it difficult to Change the Binding while switching between the 2. Thanks Bob

1 year and thousands of new enthusiasts later…

I have arm braces on I’ll be crashing really hard don’t hurt the arms or the drone but have to keep buying replacement arms because I keep ripping the motor off the arm

Question: if you remove the gps module, will the drone still fly? No more geofencing? No more return to home I assume also.

Are you sure DJI isnt ran by the same people as Apple? The sound of the plastic after the crash doesnt inspire confidence, sounded thin and crappy.

I can fix the dji fpv drone they are actually fairly simple

i really dont understand why everyone tries freestyle with this CRUISE drone and complains “ohhh its breakks maaaan :(“

@Joshua Bardwell, can get a "one year later" update....

Holy Moly.... add some chemical to your pool bro LMAO

Sport can be told how to mix bank and yaw. Press C1 in sport mode to switch between high bank, low bank, and no bank turns.

I didn't laugh that hard in a while 🤣. Been awhile since I seen this the honest crash lol. The flip flap on the arm lol

hi i am new to flying are they easy to fly i just got one

the best review on YT - thx men

If they did put this quad on a carbon frame it would put every other drone manufacturer out of business in my opinion. Because you can go from relaxed slow flying to insane terrifying with the switch of a button as far as I know no other fpv drone can do that.

How amazing intro You made with this narration and music ... just magic 😌

I am very interested in this product because I want FPV for the thrill of feeling like I am flying. Not so much the footage, but many reviewers say that the fpv camera on this drone is one of the bests, thus that would certainly improve my experience.
I am not a man with a lot of time and I am honestly not that interested in constantly tinkering and repairing the aircraft. I am sure that it is super fun for many, but that is not my interest.
I want something that is always ready to fly for a noob like me.

JB has made it.

Look at you out there standing in the sun looking up.... don't you know your not suppose to place the goggles in direct sunlight, the sun will burn spots in your display screen.

lmaoo who else is here after they have just crashed their dji mini 2/se/3 and now considering fpv drones xD

I really think this drone is for me. I keep crashing my DJI Mini because I’m flying it like a cinewhoop. I think this works for me as I’m not trying to race but get some great foreground flight footage. Now question? Does this have the same GPS flight restrictions as a Mini or Mavic?

One thing you didn’t mention in the video about this Fpv drone is that you can also fly it along distance like all the DJI drones, I believe it can go up to 9 or 10 km an using the built in GPS, so that’s one benefit that most of us FPV pilots have to work on getting our built drones to fly even remotely that far and return them back home with just a push of a button!

There sure are a lot of hoops to jump through before the FPV drone does FPV :P

It breaks because it is not strong enough so what if it is disassembled and put into a carbon fiber frame

I have it / i fly it/ I love it , this is not a freestyle drone , too me it is like a fpv drone that intros you to fpv universe, it is fun . FPV with training wheels for beginners , lazy sundae driver for more seasoned folks , like your classic car ( you do look good flying it ).

Thanks for a great review Joshua. You told it like it is, what and who the drone is for, and gave pros and cons from a neutral standpoint. Plus you're a proper FPV guy who can actually fly the thing in manual! Just what I needed.

Good lord I love that outro hahaha :) Hilarious!! Excellent video as always too! A+++

Thanks buddy, you are the best!!

I think one of the things I was least prepared for and least expecting after getting a Nazgûl (coming from an Air 2S) was the durability. I have utterly abused and bashed the shit out of this quad. I crash it damn near every time I fly it so far, and all I’ve lost in the process was 1 RX antenna plus about an hour worth of cleaning dirt/mud/grass from the quad. I knew I was going to crash and was prepared for it, but I also bought like 10 sets of props and an extra motor since I thought I’d for sure be busting everything up.

I guess that’s the advantage of carbon fiber lol

EDIT: I’m sorry, I lied: I also half tore a battery strap, bent my VTX antenna (both still work though!) and broke a couple balance connectors (east enough to fix though, $1 connector and transfer the crimped ends over). I think that covers the extent of damage I’ve done to my Nazgul. Also worth noting I had only spent like 4 hours in the sim before I started flying it since I was impatient and didn’t want to go the Tinywhoop learning route. (Sorry I’m always dropping in your comments telling you my FPV journey - don’t have any friends that are into it, but I think this is good for your analytics anyway 😎 Also don’t worry, I’m hitting those affiliate links instead of using Amazon)

you toasted that!

how many hrs do you have invested in flying?
