- Testing the range on the new DJI FPV. One of the biggest upsides of the new DJI FPV has to be the range and connection - which in paper is 10km. In this video I take the drone out and put it to the test

With the fly home feature, auto landing, tracking, I think for the price this thing is an excellent beginner fpv drone
Agreed, but do beginners even want to spend that much for their first Fpv drone 😭
@@davrtx I think this technology is very underpriced if you know what its about
@@davrtx I just got my first drone and this is the one. :)
Great flying and range testing. Thanks for sharing, Danny!
Great shots and stability. Impressive
OcuSync 3.0 is the best right now. Gives you peace of mind.
Very well said and great points, thank you!
Just lost connection with my DJI FPV for the first time. After a few minutes of terror while the goggles are black, it came back just fine. It seems to stop the video recording for some reason though. Did you find that happened too?
I ordered one of these can’t wait hehe
Looks like an awesome place to visit (I've never been there). I'm sure you know but for others... *watch those winds!* You could have a great tail wind pushing you out (while flying away)..but remember you will have to fight that wind coming back (returning to you), which could chew up a ton of battery. Always error on the side of caution when windy. Enjoy the rest of your travel! Watching your very early FPV videos pushed me to get into FPV so thanks for that by the way!
Yeah I always try to stay mindful of that. The wind was much better than it's normally been haha And that's so rad, its the best hobby!
Hi Danny,
in case you intend to perform a really REALISTIC long range test:
(1) Avoid humid environment (atmospheric water vapour is absorbing your signals). Best would be semi-arid areas (Colorado .. :-)
(2) Select an environment that is free of obstacles (at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz quite important).
(3) Fly at altitudes of about 120 m or above
Otherwise; already well done ! !
My background: Physicist, phd and some 37+ yrs. in space industry
but that wouldn't be realistic because interference is everywhere.
You dont know anything, but I do!
Awesome flight Sir. Man that was actually pretty damn good piloting brother Andre. Keep up the good job. Thanks soo much for sharing buddy. I also have the Dji FPV drone and i am loving 🥰 the sports mode. You just got a big like 👍 and thumbs up 👍. Also a big fan and a Big Supporter here. Just subbed to your channel. Would appreciate love and support Sir. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
fair review,
occusync is crazy good,
the no flys are annoying.
I hit one and have no idea why,
it was over a golf course...
battery is heavy and weak. 2000mah for that weight it should be 3000mah.
it's just a heavy little bugger, but it gets going so it's not slow.
just got mine back from repair today,
hope the weather gets a bit nicer so I can take it back up.
Use the drone-hacks and such to remove those. Or just buy a better brand.
The range is awesome! Really nice!
Thanks great videos.
Great reviews! Any thoughts on the drone having those roll jitters? Like you said in the previous video - doesn't seem like it'll be close to a Gopro+ReelSteady. Does it feel like it's more stable if you give it more throttle?
Those jitters are a normal reaction to wind, and a proper gopro with rsgo will make the dji fpv footage look bad, in colors, details and in butter smooth stability.
I love how the most replayed part of this vid is her snapping her pants lol
I love the barbed wire fence behind you to highlight safety.
I live out in mostly fruit trees /farmland south of Fresno and I can only go about 10,000 feet before I start having problems. I don't think this FPV drone could go 10,000 meters. Maybe is total still wind and out with no signal interference.
Been waiting for this, thanks!
No problem!
I'm getting that wrong for my birthday and I can't wait
Shutting the lights on it off during day time saves battery also
The height limitation is above sea level or above ground?
Mine can’t reach more than 1 km without any obstacles !! What do you think the problem is ?
very nice 🎥👍🏼
Love it
How is it people get around the whole "line of sight" issue with flying? FAA requires maintaining line of sight.
Thanks Captain Buzzkill
I love Tulum... Anyway I've noticed the same thing the battery life is half of what they say and the
GEO FENCING😡 Other than that it's great and very fast!!!
Great Cinematic Footage,You have my Like ;)
Didnt it count out that your have a specific % left so you have battery life when your rth ?
thanks for the video, i bought my drone (dji fpv) but havent flown it yet. never flown a drone, is it hard to fly?
Just bought and fpv yesterday. It’s very noob friendly. I’ve flown cheap 30$ drones with no fpv and the money difference can be seen
Buy a tile tracker for you drone
Wait does the dji fpv have no fly zone where it won't let you fly if you go near???
Great video
You think its worth spending 1300 euro, if i only have experience with the Dji Spark? Thanks 👍
With inflation this tech will eventually become as expensive as a new car
Can you screen share this on TV or tablet??
So 1.4 miles and DJI is saying 6.2 miles. Huge difference.
It will do 6.2 miles look at other tests every dji drone that is rated 10 km will do 10km and over.
He said his battery was dying
He was in manual mode witch eats through battery. Dji probably tested it on sport or postion mode.
Their claim is trash. Same exact thing for my mini 2...1.5 is more than I'll ever need, buuuut....a quarter of the claimed distance is straight robbing your customers
LIne of sight and being surrounded by tons of bushes. Huge difference… I get 3 miles out of mine easy. Only limited by battery
Wow, this is actually pretty impressive
Well done!👍👍
Hi Thank you for the amazing test video! I am having an issue when I fly the drone and the video is very shaky. How would you avoid the shaking problem when flying the drone? Thank you!
First of great video and a great test. However I have to point out there is no such thing as FPV Mode, fpv stands for ( first-person view ) witch is what you get when you were FPV goggles of any type and on any drone and you look through the goggles and see the image from the camera on the Drone.
I just ordered mine i get in 6 day..can't wait..
worth it?
I've been flying mine for a few weeks now and am not familiar with FPV mode? Surely it's always FPV unless it's VLOS or flown using the phone screen plugged into the goggles.
By FPV mode I just mean manual mode. Normal / sport mode in my head are just classic drone modes lol
wow
Nice 👍
Most played part of this video is Nicole hahahahaha
Can you always see the propellers?
regular fpv drones with tbs or other good system could go 40 Km , the problem is video feed but with a ground station you can do it no problem .the limit is battery but you can go way fare if you use a wing for example. I fly my long range drone at 3km no problem and you can set the return home like a dji if you install a gps. On diy lithium battery that cost about 40 euros to make i fly 18 min with my setup but if you do a proper build you can go even longer.
Damn that's sick to hear!
@@Mcgeee I tell you this because i think dji limit filmmaker creativity, if you already can fly fpv i think you will be much happier with a drone with no limits, cheaper and can carry a nice camera
@@zokru1 agreed, which is why i just returned my dji fpv. but if i didnt by the dji, i wouldnt know this, so always gotta try haha
@@RamiJayd sure, this hobby as so many aspects thats impossible to get right on the get go, if you wanna talk fpv or have question feel free to pm me, really like your videos
@@zokru1 Thank you! I am actually interested in buying an FPV system capable of the quality of the DJI, and I want to mount a hero 9 to it. Just want good quality feedback, good batteries, and good camera quality!
@2:30 Dayum!
My furthest is 9.3km, full manual. Goiing slow doest get as much distance if these drones, I think because they are so heavy. Could probably get over 10kms, if I flew straight and turn around then come back again. 8 mins flight time. I have gotten 16mins before. But lowe speeds and not as much distance. These drones you need to pump it with thr speed then come back. The distance covered is way more than going slow.
Was that with HQ mode or low latency? Do you get more range with low latency both battery and reception?
I have one of these and can confirm that I can drive it farther on low latency mode before it starts to visually stutter a bit.
where is this
why are the props continu in the screen
See more DJI FPV videos
great vid, but to be fair, those conditions arnt even close to optimal for range testing. all those houses, trees and bushes will *really* mess with the transmission, so will all the wifi and other transmissions coming from such a densly populated area
Fair point - but when you’re actually flying / filming you don’t always have optimal conditions. I think it’s important to do test in conditions you’ll actually fly in. Optimal conditions are few and far between in the real world
Greetings guy
OMG !
I am a bit confused…. I managed to do over 5300 meters on my mini 2 and was expecting a lot more on your fpv!
The battery life on the fpv in manual mode is like 5 minutes top. Less if you're flying more aggressively. Can't fly that far and have battery to return home.
That’s pretty insane! Can’t you change the height limitation?
Maximum height limit of 500 meters.
I thought you can change the height in the settings in goggles
I'm itching to buy this thing.
Better hurry before it’s sold out. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made. If you do buy one, I highly recommend you buy extra batteries! The more the better, once you start flying it you will NOT want to stop.
@@vincelau8000 everything about this drone is perfect except the battery. Its really bad, and thats what keeping me from buying this drone🥲
Hello can i ask something how many minutes or hour before this device lowbat please someone answer my question thanks :)
8-10 min
@@al_vanderbeek na, I have one and can get close to the full 20. It just depends on if you let it come back when it starts beeping at you at 30%. If you continue to fly it right up until say 3-5% you can get a lot of extra time out of it. When I brought it back at 30% (like my first time flying) it had been going for just over 10-12 minutes, so that extra 30% would get you another 5-6 or so. Just depends on the RTH stuff.
That's a bummer about the battery life. It's disappointing that all though it lives up to its abilities, they bs you on the battery.
Should be better Dji. Thanks for sharing.
If you fly it on normal mode it should go far if you have it on manual or sport battery runs out quicker and thats the issue here
Of course but like I stated in the beginning of the video the whole point of the DJI FPV is to fly FPV. If I want to fly normal mode I’d just go with a Mavic 2
@@Mcgeee no such thing as Fpv mode I believe you mean manual fpv is just a general term for "first person view"
Did I understand this correct,: This drone has a general hight limit of 500 meters?
yes and air 2s too
you can unlock altitude limit for any DJI drone. Only 40$.
i thought on paper its supposed to fly 30min and 10km or something? so there really isnt much reason to but the dji fpv instead of say 5 regular fpv drones?
It will fly for 30 min but the 10 km has to be a perfectly flat non obstructions you would have to go out to the ocean or somthing
On manual mode I get 7-8 minutes but I'm usually going flat out. It's well worth it for peace of mind as you get loads of safety features aswell.
Limits everywhere, you have to register your drone, can't go high and 2.5 Km is way off the paper's 10Km... oof. I do 4.5Km on my 250$ 4" HD Baby Croc... Just being real here.
They say it's 20km range?
If you have not updated your dji FPV there is a hack that will remove all nfz restrictions
How do you color grade it and the lut please?
The first mavic mini go further. And 30 minutes of battery. So why would you pay so much money for that
My dji Motion Controller is only limiting me 1500 Feet range for some reason on my dji FPV. Is anyone else having this issue? I am wondering if this is a bug?
Nope all DJI drones have a height limit of 500m
@@Mcgeee I'm sorry I meant 1500 feet DISTANCE range. Not height. I think my Motion Controller is a lemon and might need to return it unfortunately. I tried re-pairing and re-installing firmware.
@@MrPlasmo and you moved your max distance to unlimited?
@@Mcgeee ah... that’s probably the issue. Thanks !
Tried to skip forward to the actual range test. Thought “most replayed” would make sense… Fuck sake guys 😂
Try in a city. About 7.5 mtrs haha
You want RANGE? GHOST RECON ADVANCED TACTICS PT2- separate vid shows 3mile test flight
Almost lost it, screen went black. But let’s try it again😂😂
Techno musick
You need to go back I think you missed a couple houses.
How the hell did someone get 4500 meters?!?!
Summary: Failed test because of lost connection and a return to home mid-flight. 1.3 miles.
turn off height limitation lol..
Fpv professional gentleman ..... do you know betaflight's gps rescue? For $ 10 you can add a gps to your conventional fpv drone and configure it so if you have a failsafe come back alone ...... and if you want to improve your range buy a crossfire tbs that goes much further than any dji drone .. ... and any conventional fpv drone can also return home automatically .... fpv professional sir ....
its also the first time I see a "professional" pilot just recklessly fly over other peoples property
Trees don’t give interference, just FYI
i guess youre right and all fpv pilots are wrong then.
@@manbolomo I am an FPV pilot buddy, I own 3 quads, none of which are the DJI quad. Look at my channel
@@manbolomo I said trees don’t give off interference, which is true. Do they block signals? Of course anything in the way does, but they don’t give interference like metal or something would
@@isaaclanier1507 okay so you were discussing semantics... and i own several quads and several dji drones if you wanted to brag.
@@manbolomo it’s not semantics, I’m clearing it up because a lot people will get it confused. Also, I never bragged, you said I don’t fly FPV drones without proof, no need to be rude about it
My rekord 930m
That's sad 😕
@@lunaticfpv17 I know
But not water proof. I've gone threw 2 drone due to water. U can buy a waterproof drone for like $80 specially every one like to fly over water. Well if they make them water proof they wont make as much money will they
Have to be fighting some serious wind over the beach, which screws up a legit range/battery test
Adds real world problems in the test.
I am getting the same results here so I think that the battery really is different than the advertisement.
DJI say 10km and you get 2... DJI say 20min and you get 10...
Just as an example I just flew with Fired FPV and he got 25minutes carrying a session 5 and in another video he went over 6km using just normal fpv goggles with a wildfire module and normal antennas. He used crossfire.
So... DJI... Stop lying to your customers about the specs.
Actual long range analog setups are getting tens of kilometers easily.
ATTENTION VIEWERS: Please watch Wesley Varty instead, for PROPER scientific range comparison of all relevant fpv systems. This guy here is not telling you anything.
Stop lying to people .... the only thing this drone can do and conventional fpv cannot is move the camera angle in mid-flight (which can also be but is not usual) in everything else an fpv drone conventional outperforms this drone in all respects.
why wouldn't you just to go the beach and head out over the ocean ? lol
Why do they say 10km if you loose connection with direct LOS at 1800m??? Typical american marketing
2000 meters is only 2km. Way less than 10km. The geofencing and plastic body is the deal killer.
That and you're locked into a DJI ecosystem where your controller won't work with any other quad, and your quad won't work with any other controller.
Sad that so many beginners are flocking to this drone and will probably get scr3w3d.
100st comment
Huh dont be an idiot.. stand on the beach and fly straight towards the ocean so noo signal loss at all
2km is great, but far away from 10km!
But you can't fly it miles and miles away, even 1/4 a mile before you lose line of sight. I get all you folks want to make a job of droning. But using an illegal activity(non line of sight flying) as a selling tools seems...odd. I'm just wondering not trying to be unpleasant I really do enjoy your channel.
you type of people... let us throw common sense out of the window, rules are rules! lol ....When a foreign military comes to take your land, rape & kill your women and children, you're going to wish everyone in your country knows how to fly these things, far and well..
You do know what the no fly zone means right. Maybe should start respect them on the home build also. And would not seen the hobby broken as is today because you kind
Cry more combo
? Bruh Crossfire and dragon link have been getting 80km range for the past 10 years? Dji is nice bc it’s digital. That’s all
Why are you doing range test on sport mode or manual mode like an idiot. That shorten the life of battery so significantly it will only last 10 minutes. If you are going to do battery test do it in normal mode. This was waste of time. Also you need a direct line of sight otherwise the trees that were RIGHT NEXT to you going to break up the signal. SO many wrong doings.
Well considering the whole point of the DJI FVP is to be an FPV drone - yeah, I flew in Manual mode. I mentioned that at the beginning of the video. Maybe you like to fly your FPV drone in normal tho? Also I did what I could with the test where I was - feel free to go test it yourself wherever you want lol
Man, just fly the damn thing and stop all
The talking!.
