- DJI FPV Electric RC Glider Formation Flying | Over the English Countryside !
Jason and James like to unwind after a long week by taking their electric gliders up for some formation flying using DJI Digital FPV over the English Countryside. It's a great way to relax and get views you wouldn't get in any other way.

I needed this. I started my fpv adventure with motorised glider, but soon enough drones appeared. Got pulled into it, no regrets, but seeing this made me realise something. Thanks
nothing comes closer to real flying as FPV flying, thx 4 sharing
Agree. We've come a long way since doing that a few years back. How about this? th-cam.com/video/BnL3KrZGIJU/w-d-xo.html
Just beautiful....really atmospheric. Great to see the two operators wearing the gear and interacting during the flight. Fantastic technology available in R/C these days.
Fabulous, i wish we had this sort of gear when i was flying slope soarers on the Devils Dyke etc, this was over 30 years ago, was good fun even then but it's just like being up there flying nowadays, great fun guys thanks...
Looks awesome guys. FPV gliding is truly a phenomenal experience when you get it right.
Sure is! Awesome fun!
Sometimes a peaceful relaxing flight is a really nice experience vs tearing about the sky.
What a great way to unwind. I’m so jealous you got the DJI FPV. I’m thinking of getting it as a birthday present to myself. LOL
Its a no brainer. Lots more fun than line of sight flying.
Unwinding in DJI FPV style. So immersive!!! I dig your content guys, keep them coming!
Lots more DJI FPV projects coming Michael. You'll like them if you enjoyed this !
Neat footage from DJI FPV. Thanks for sharing your fun experience!
Thanks for watching
That was fun
That's fantastic
coooooool
Very cool video. I’m just getting into this myself and loving it. Have a Bixler with DJI, Kopilot and panning ready to test. Nice one guys 👍
Have fun!
Like!
Really nice flying and footage from them!
Thanks a lot 5miles!
Que experiência imersiva
Great flight guys 👍🏻
Thanks buddy 👍 Will be coming down to the club again soon. Will be retrofitting the turbine Freewing Avanti with headtracked DJI FPV. Hope get to meet you down there.
@@EssentialRC have to drop me a text when you are going down. Be great to see. Be great to actually fly this year 🙄
for a bit of a fly, it's called flight!
Yeah whatever. 🙄
👏👏👏
Get a pilot in there and it would looks scale
Great video. Love the diverse content. Gives me loads of new ideas and inspiration. Thanks. Are the guys using DJI transmitters also for aircraft control functions to match the range of the fpv system, or traditional radios ???
Thanks Ray. Diverse is right! That's what we aim for. James and Jason using Radiomaster TX16S. Legally we have to stay within visual range of a spotter so traditional 2.4Ghz transmitters are fine but for security we use the Crossfire module.
One day Im going to have to get my dominator 3 fpv headset working for a rc glider that I have. It will be sick!! I want to have on screen display so you know if your climbing thermals or not!!
you should use the phoenix 2400.
there is much more place inside and it flys very stabil
Thanks for the recommendation!
I had multiple flyaways with my zohd kopilot, after i switched it to a matek f411 wse the plane flew 30+ flights perfectly fine
Yeah...we've gone totally Matek now. Still think iNav is challenging to setup and get working properly but learning more with each project.
@@EssentialRC i remember setting up my first inav fc, had a lot of problems to overcome 😂
Would love an additional video of this to see the goggle over-lay to see what they see! Would love to see the gps arrow pointing back at home and how it all looks!
Unfortunately at the moment it is impossible to capture video with telemetry ontop of the camera view.
@@EssentialRC Thanks for the reply!
can you link recommendations for antenas for the dji setup?
MARAVILHOSO. TAMBEM TENHO UM HERON E DJI GOOGLES. QUE SISTEMA USAM PARA VIRAR A CAMERA? PARABENS.
Just use a servo into a spare channel on receiver. Don't have to use head tracker but you can look it up on Painless360 TH-cam channel
@@EssentialRC
Era isso mesmo que queria.
Obrigado.
Bons voos.
Abraço da Suíça
I’m curious if anyone knows : about how long could you have one of the gliders up for? Assuming you don’t need to use the engine much
Nicely done, Is that footage from " what you see through the goggles view" or separate HD Cam footage. I want a FPV system that doesn't look like crap and interference via the goggles view. You can fly crap analog with a go pro and show in a video great footage but what good is it when your flying. Thank you for a reply..
Yes, it is. DJI FPV. You need DJI FPV Goggles v2 and a DJI Air Unit with a camera. DJI Goggles: www.droneauthority.co.uk/products/dji-fpv-digital-hd-video-system-goggles?ref=gtld_zcywgt4

Nice vid and kit. I'm looking for some advice. I used to be glider pilot tons of P1 experience from numerous uk clubs, but due to medical I've had to stop. Been thinking instead of my dji mavik I'd like to do the best thing closest to 'the good old days'. So I'd want fpv, panning camera, one of you guys mentioned what I think is a vario? I.e. beeping for height increase/decrease for soaring.. what should i start with given no rc glider, but numerous drones (no fpv) and lots of real life flying?
First question. Do you want a plane or a drone?
@Essential RC glider only. Had yuneek and dji for years
This is the latest and best RC FPV aeroplane we've tried. Comes with the Flight Controller installed and pre-configured if you buy the "RTH" version. You could easily add DJI FPV on top on a panning servo. Link to the aeroplane is in the video description and pinned comment. th-cam.com/video/_Na5V26wc6M/w-d-xo.html
Is that an INav system, Jason is using? I've experimented with one too on a small biplane. Sadly id became overweight with all the head-tracking stuff and didn't get off the ground.
Which telemetry can you get into the DJI system now? When I tried a while ago, the support for DJI was a little poor.
I'm sure Jason will chime in with details.
Yep iNav 👍🏻 iNav now supports Betaflight osd elements so any DJI osd that works in Betaflight now works in iNav. It’s not comprehensive like analogue due to the way the osd works with DJI but you can have all the critical stuff such as height, speed, climb rate, way home, distance from home, amps, volts, mah used etc etc. DJI still absolutely fail to support the fpv community given what they make and they don’t seem interested in supporting osd with 3rd party products so it’s down to iNav Dev team to find work arounds. But thankfully they are cracking ways to do it slowly. INav 3.0 will have quite a few new osd features too.
@@randall8686 Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll give it another try. I do have 2 Matek FCs lying around, waiting for a mission 🙂
@@M0rdH0rst 👍🏻 if osd is a big thing to you then I would hold out for iNav 3.0 (due very very soon)
The link to the RC PAN TILT GIMBAL doesn't seem to work. The Ebay shop appears empty. Can you recommend an alternative?
Sorry about that. Jason might offer that again in the future. I use the gimbal designed by Painless360. You'll find it on 3d thingiverse
Just for the layman. How do you achieve the head tracking using the DJI FPV gear?
It doesn't have anything to do with DJI FPV. We use an Arduino based motion tracker mounted on the side of the goggles to transmit head movement via Bluetooth to the transmitter which in turn moves the pan/tilt servos in the RC aeroplane
@@EssentialRC impressive
hmm, the RC antenna is horizontal, why is this not optimal? and AU on the wing, this negates all the aerodynamics of the airframe...
where could I get the camera which are on the glider? I only can find cameras which are too heavy for my glider :c
DJI Digital FPV
@@EssentialRC thanks man 😁!
Could you tell me which motor the heron is running please?
The one it came with. Look on the multiplex website and I guess it will give you the spec.
@@EssentialRC thanks. I was just checking as I see some use a more powerful 1000kv and curious if it’s worth the bother
@@ChasingContours It's a glider so I don't see the need for it to have more power to go faster. It'll just use the flight battery quicker. Must be some other reason folks want more power cause it's not obvious to me.
What sort of range are you getting with dji
We have to fly within visual range by law in UK so never gets tested to its limit by us
Can you confirm what James has. He said something like ZO-HD? For gyro and GPS RTH?
Yup. ZOHD
@@EssentialRC thanks. Is he on any FB groups or forums so I could quiz I about it please?
Don't you get motion sickness with VR and a real plane, while sitting down?
Am I the only one bothered by the cameras not being in the center of the fuselage?
Common on wings designed for FPV
Potty dji does not have the vario in the osd. One reason I still put analog fpv in my gliders
It is frustrating it isn't an open system. I think DJI will pay the price for that in the long run. Anyone else like Fatshark who come up with a system that delivers the image quality and low latency will put their FPV system in 2nd place fairly rapidly. DJI only seem to interested in selling FPV along with one of their drones sadly.
@@EssentialRC hope some hardware manufacturer will pick-up OpenHD...
Incase you are not aware it’s coming very soon with canvas mode 👍🏻
@@randall8686 fingers crossed
