First a lot of people have ask me why did I unsubscribe from all the other drone channels. If this review don’t answer your question you need to watch it again. Captain Drone is 100% Honest there is nothing else you need to know it’s all right here the good bad and ugly. I wish we had theses options in our long range FPV Drones. I’m sure there will be several Firmware upgrades to improve on most of these problems. Thanks Captain
I feel like consumer-level drones have been split into two major categories: on one hand you've got the GPS drones, which are like luxury sedans. They're reliable, easy to operate, provide a smooth experience, and are packed with quality-of-life features and creature comforts that make the whole experience a satisfying and relaxing one, but they'd never be described as exciting. On the other hand you've got FPV drones, which are like F1 cars. They're difficult to put together, they don't give a single sweet crap about ease of use or accessibility, you need to learn plenty of arcane stuff to understand how to maintain them, and you WILL need to maintain them (but luckily they're built to be easily maintained on the spot)... but all of that is in service of unparalleled RAW PERFORMANCE. But there's a third tier of high-end cars that drones haven't really had an equivalent to: sports cars. They're more nimble and exciting than sedans (if not at the level of an F1 car), but they still have a radio and a glove box. You can tear up a racing track with them, but they're still road legal elsewhere. You don't have to be an expert to drive one, but there's definitely a higher skill ceiling than driving a Lexus. And if you manage to do sick drifts into a wall and smash it up, you're gonna be sending it away to be repaired because all of that's proprietary and nobody who buys one of these things expects (or wants) to deal with that themselves. I think the DJI FPV fits that third category nicely. It's a mid-life-crisis drone purchase. It's a Miami Beach drone. It's sporty and flippy and fast but all you really have to do is take it out of the box and turn it on, and if full manual scares you, hey, it's got modes that'll hold your hand and nobody needs to know. Honestly, I think something like this has been a long time coming, and while I think there are certainly things about the DJI FPV that could be improved, it has a clear sense of who it's aiming for and the market it's attempting to reach / create, which counts for a lot. The follow-up is going to be incredible.
No matter who it's made for, you gotta admit, there's a whole lot of amazing features built into the DJI FPV, from the safety features to the flight modes. It's a remarkable drone to be honest!
I have never flow a drone before I got this one about a week a go best buy sold me a returned drone and man was I mad.As a beginner I had no idea it was broken so after a few days of staring at it I decided to take it back got the new one got it home and a short firm wear update and activating all the fly more batteries and bam my first flight in n mode was absolutely incredible!!! now I see all kinds of bad reviews on this drone and can not for the life of me figure out why, its perfect for folks like me that's never flown a drone!! I am excited like a kid with a new toy and this has made getting into fpv / camera drone so easy !!!! I have enjoyed your review and thank you it made my decision to go get it!!!
I really love this drone. Design and everything. If someone successfully installs an 03 into this and have everything functional, it would be the perfect drone for me
As an experienced FPV pilot for 15 years. Altitude is always your friend in an emergency and the ground your enemy. This is also true when you go to far and lose signal gaining altitude can help you recover video feed. A well setup system loses video feed before command control.
Your video reviews are the best. I only watch your videos because they are awesome. It’s almost like watching a movie and you can’t stop till you see it to the end. GREAT JOB!!!
You're more of a grown up than I am, I wouldn't have been able to resist dubbing in the noise from some V8 rat rod after going straight to the sound comparison from talking about this being DJI's most powerful offering
This is amazing Captain! I always find a lot of confort watching your videos! They are so much amazingly done! Your videos help me a lot, your english is easy to understand and I can improve more my english! Even if I'm working or almost can't get out my bed, I always find strenght to not lose any of your videos! Stay safe Captain! God bless you and your family!
At 3:49 had me laughing my guts out, Because of the way it sounded. Lol! Sounded like a spaceship revving up & getting ready to launch, Or a nuclear missile getting ready to emplode. I like how you give the holy crap button it's name. But I like to call it the OMG button! And it will LET us crash it into something! You had me laughing my head off! 😅😅😆 This is a nice drone. The looks of them has changed now. 👍
Oh the Captain is the best. Avid fan. He actually got me interested when I started by chance just to view his TH-cam videos. Thanks Captain my wife is happy with the expense lol
Great Review and I agree with you on who the DJI FPV Drone it is for. I fly FPV like yourself, FreeStyle and Cinewhoops along with filming with a Mavic 2 Pro and Inspire. The FPV drone is a Great Tool (and a lot of fun) when you need that gap shot and do not want to cart along all the other stuff that is needed for a Cinewhoop. I get tired of people saying it is expensive. The Drone by itself retails for $739 and comes with a $149 battery so the effective cost is $590 which is a bargain for what it is. If you purchase a Bind and Fly iFlight BNF ProTek35 HD you are at $400 and you would still need a GoPro so that is another $350+ not to mention you will need to learn 3D printing along with soldering and computer engineering for BetaFlight. The good thing is if you go with the regular FPV you will help Joshua Bardwell’s TH-cam Ranking. For me I honestly think when DJI comes out with revisions of the FPV Drone I will be giving up the other quads. I have submitted to DJI to see if they can put Switchable Rate Profiles that can be configured with C1. I normally keep my rates around 700 but for the slow flying I like 400. The Center Stick Dead Zone will not go to 0 which need to be changed. Stay in the Air 🍍
I would like to thank you for this review. For the last year I have been looking for a drone to help me do my job (construction site security) and I was looking at this one or a Mavic like my buddies got. With all the pros and cons this one seems like a perfect surveillance drone. Besides no one ever said I couldn't have a little fun and still do my job. Thanks again I really needed a good review to justify the price. Now to come up with it lol.
I am in group 2 as defined by Steve. I concur with his assessment. This about flying for the sake of flying fun and having some ability to do cine work. But if I am out to take video, I 'll take out the Mavic. To me, its all about remapping ones mental map to convert to fpv controls versus the very user friendly camera drone control model. Flying in N is simple. S takes a little more thought. M takes lots of sim time before I'll be confident enough to chase air....
As someone who uses both camera drones and freestyle quads, the biggest CON is the price of the batteries and the fact they’re proprietary. In the UK the batteries are approximately $190 - $200 each. For that price I can get at least 10 4s 1500mAh packs to give close to 50mins continuous flying. To get the same from the DJI drone I’d have to spend close to $2000. Also if I want to charge the batteries out in the field I can only do one DJI battery at a time where as I can charge four of my cheap batteries at once, at 2C to 3C rates, quite safely. Longevity is another issue. DJI products have a limited lifespan. The Spark was released May 2017 and discontinued in 2019. The Mini was replaced with the Mini2 within a year of its release. Will this DJI FPV drone be any different? It has many major issues in serious need of addressing, and if DJI are to make this a permanent fixture in their product portfolio I predict it will be replaced within a year, with little in the way of backward compatibility, especially in the battery department.
Been patiently waiting for this review for a while and liked the 3 part break down with pro's and cons! Very helpful! Always love the dogfight cam! You have a lot of people dreaming about your contest tomorrow myself included after watching this! Thanks for the detailed review! Can't wait to watch part 2!
Awesome job. One of the most thorough - no, THE most thorough drone video i've ever seen. Covered a lot of ground with amazing footage and even a pro/con list on the side.
dude you crack me up...........flying it into the hard snow...."the snow was ice". The snow sounded like it was a brick wall. Great vid as always. Keep having fun......
I have a Mavic and owned Inspire but I want to get into FPV Digital. The objective is to use the drone for cinema stuff and then hopefully use the goggles with real fpv drones (diy). From a price point makes sense based on the cost of the DJI v2 goggles.
I’m writing to say THANK YOU, and your wife, for the awesome stickers and magnet. I feel very lucky and grateful to have received them. Also, I enjoyed this review a ton. Always the best.
Oh for: 1)Autel EVO II's 6-direction Obstacle Avoidance 2)a low light (so called!) 1" or MFT sensor, (>8MP) with c)lightweight/lowcost (LiFe 18650, as per Tesla!) and 45minute + hover, AND digital 12km+ (FPV) video and SUB 250g (Of course it MUST also have a top speed of at least 100km/h too!) ; )
Wow Steve, That was Brilliant, And Who wouldn't want this Drone, I think it's amazing, I think they maid this for Everyone, for the Price, maybe they could of maid it out of Carbon fiber, The only way that I would get this FPV is if I win it, but we both know, that's not going to happen, Thank you Steve for giving someone a chance to Own this Fantastic FPV. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick God bless you and your family
What a dream to own even the goggles.me and the group of young children I teach fpv were lucky enough to try orqa and dji goggles.wow.my self and the group were blown away.they are used to box goggles so to fly dji was amazing.great review cap stay safe.
Another great review, and really loved your intro on this one. Thanks as always for being so thorough when you review a product - but my wife probably won't thank you for making me really want one of these :-).
Best review I’ve seen yet on this drone!! The dedication for doing this in all that snow.... hats off to you sir! We just went through one of the worst freezes ever down here in Texas and I was miserable having to just work in it; and you northern boys are out flying drones in it!! Keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you Captian ... the most part i like is the begginer gonna love it hahahhaaa yeeeeehy im gonna buy it soon. Thanks again and waiting part 2. Big fan from UAE.
Personal opinion - if you're a beginner and would like to dip your toe in FPV - buy an RTF kit from NewBeeDrone, BetaFPV etc. If you want to dip your toe in the camera drones - buy a Tello. No reason for a beginner to spend like 1,5k
@@cypvh74 I fly a custom build of the Beta85x drone and I must say that for the purposes I need it for - I do not require an autopilot. And yes, there is a mode where the drone automatically levels itself after input, so that's plenty of hand-holding for my personal taste. Furthermore, the price of the parts on both drones should also be considered when going about such a purchase. In short: Always do the proper research before you invest your money and yourself in this.
Another negative point, not only for beginners, is the high weight. Both for safety in case of creating third-party damage in case of crashing and for legal regulations.
It's an incredible product, expensive but really really nice. The FPV community is so curious about it and others are jealous. Thanks Captain! Your videos are awesome it doesn't matter if you review a dji fpv or a budget drone.
The motion controller for the dji fpv drone looks out of this world that i have seen on TH-cam videos with a round circle on the fpv goggles to show direction
Hi mate. I've been following this drone and have a look for any stress fractures on the arms and there's a brace you can buy that will go from front to rear arm's that will help.
I have watched a number of reviews on the DJI FPV drone. Most are very one sided one way or the other. I own a number of aerial drones.... I also have the DJI FPV drone. I really enjoy all of them. Your review is by far the most accurate review and fair on both positive and negatives. Awesome review.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I really want to start flying FPV. After flying DJI for awhile; a few mini's and an Air 2S, I am keen on dabbling with FPV. So I am looking through your posted videos. Whilst the DJI FPV is a bit pricey, I do like the safety features.
I was waiting for your insight/opinion on this drone. Very thorough video, especially giving the perspective from a beginner, camera drone, and FPV pilot. Looking forward to seeing part-2.
Exactly the review I was waiting for. Thank God we got a review from you not like some of these other clown youtubers that all they want to show is the bad side of this fpv drone. Glad I got to see what I wanted. Thanks for the review @CaptainDrone, you're the best.
Yes, in the goggle settings (adjust for distortion). I'm sure I tried that option but I didn't like the result as much because it switches the camera to linear mode.
I'm starting a point to point internet company. I bought this to check height, condition, line of sight, and tower inspections. Will be perfect for that I think.
Walkera 250 runner pro were my favorite and still as for racing fpv rtf .. i lost my trust with dji after they dump tens of thousands of naza users .. back to the video topic as usual amazing clear he honest description in details 👍🏻
It can't get here fast enough!!! Like I said before great info and I'm just looking forward to trying flying FPV!!! Funny I have Phantom 4 and forget you can record amazing video I just love flying drones!!! Record or taking pics is not even a concern for me!!! All about flying and not spying!!!
Firstly great channel 👏 I feel slightly lucky ... been flying analogue around 6 months deffo moving into digital so for me this combo is a no brainer 600 for goggles may as well go the hole hog and get myself a new mavic in the process ... just a bit miffed the controller is apparently locked to the fpv drone... I have a naz HD on order and was really hoping the controller would work with the air unit... do we think they will change this at some point ? Keep up the great work Steve can't wait for ep 2 ... 👍👍👍
Yes I hope so. I think DJI will put out version 2 of the DJI FPV AIR Unit in 2021 and it will work with this controller, which means that we'll then see lots of FPV drones coming on the market where one can use this controller. Just my guess.
Thanks for the awesome review, Captain! I also looked at Ken Heron and Joshua Bardwell's review videos and I must say you did a good job explaining who this drone is for and who it isn't for. Absolutely no doubt it is a feature rich drone that straddles two drone worlds, but I can see that some corners were cut, too. Looking forward to part 2 and how the sim works.
I'm pretty sure he'll try it soon. I recall when the DJI digital system came out, he avoided it for months, then tried it, then loved it but would not give up analog, but as time went on he used the digital more. I expect something similar but since he tunes his quads in such a very personal way, he may not be able to tune the DJI Drone in the same way and therefore, it will not be anything he likes.
What a GREAT video Steve. My goodness buddy, this is one of your best. That intro is AWSOME. I'am an experienced FPV pilot and I'am loving the shit out of all the DJI FPV uploads
Im a beginner whose only flown a drone a couple times but am setting out building a youtube channel which would use both an FPV and a cinematic drone so, this would be ideal for my use! Thanks so much for the great info! Made my decision SO much easier!
4:10 Straight up the information I needed ot hear as a beginner. Your opinions matter way more than any other DJI camera drone youtuber operator. thanks for the information. Super informative. On this note, i'll be sticking to my betafpv starter racer kit for a bit more, lol.
Hello Captain, I'm new to the Drones world and I just bought the Syma X20P, I like it but hate the 5 minutes Flying time, then I got myself a DJI Tello, I also like it but I have came across a couple of problems, Props flying off sometimes when I Do the flips, and they break quickly, now I'm planning to get this in the future, you are amazing and thank you
This new wonder drone is def for me. Totally stable, safe FPV drone and goggles. This is probably as far into the FPV world that I would ever want to go and I would be a happy man. I can't imagine ever being able to afford the asking price for this though and that makes me a sad man :( . That's my prob, not yours, sorry. Thanks for sharing the video. At least I can live vicariously through the videos.
Great review thank you. I managed to get one last week and they are as you describe - a great package. I’ve noticed in sport mode it still gives warnings of obstacles or low altitude. Your right about the price, perfect for what you get.
Brilliant. I have been watching lots of youtube footage on this FPV and i knew instantly when i watched you review that it was going to be an awesome view, you make things all so interesting wheather it be good or bad. Keep doing what your do cause you are great at it.
So what is the best FPV drone out there that beats the video quality and features of this drone? I have read comments from countless people saying one thing or another. To each his own I guess.
The DJI FPV Drone is a HYBRID DRONE which means it is part CAMERA DRONE and part FPV DRONE. It is not a true FPV drone or Camera Drone so when people in the FPV world say they have better drones, they probably do in the FPV hobby. And people in the Camera Drone hobby would also say they have better camera drones. To me the DJI FPV Drone is a jack of all trades... it just does everything so for someone that is a pro like myself, I really like it due to the versatility.
Excellent as usual. Please note that the simulator is not available on Android phones. Also, I don't believe you mentioned how to engage Return to Home.
First a lot of people have ask me why did I unsubscribe from all the other drone channels. If this review don’t answer your question you need to watch it again. Captain Drone is 100% Honest there is nothing else you need to know it’s all right here the good bad and ugly.
I wish we had theses options in our long range FPV Drones. I’m sure there will be several Firmware upgrades to improve on most of these problems.
Thanks Captain

Yup, it’s a Tesla instead of a formula Ford.
It’s not even a manual Miata.
Maybe it’s best analogy is a BMW X5 or Range Rover.
That's basically the best review video. Cheers pal... How can we talk so I can learn more from you?
No matter who it's made for, you gotta admit, there's a whole lot of amazing features built into the DJI FPV, from the safety features to the flight modes. It's a remarkable drone to be honest!
In other words it's a laptop with spinning thingys that does some super rad stuff that programmers did a freakin good job with 🔥💯
People who have looked from the outside will certainly dip their toes in the FPV because of this.
Like me…. I have owned the Mavic Pro and now the Mavic Pro 2 Zoom. Hopefully this gets me into the hobby to perfect my horrible soldering skills.
That drone is even more spectacular with that beautiful logo on it
I agree! :-)
I have never flow a drone before I got this one about a week a go best buy sold me a returned drone and man was I mad.As a beginner I had no idea it was broken so after a few days of staring at it I decided to take it back got the new one got it home and a short firm wear update and activating all the fly more batteries and bam my first flight in n mode was absolutely incredible!!! now I see all kinds of bad reviews on this drone and can not for the life of me figure out why, its perfect for folks like me that's never flown a drone!!

Is no one going to talk about how that “Really cool intro” was actually really cool?
Edit: it was also a great very informative video. Thanks!
Your video reviews are the best. I only watch your videos because they are awesome. It’s almost like watching a movie and you can’t stop till you see it to the end. GREAT JOB!!!
Wow, thank you!
Captain Drone, this review is the best one about the DJI FPV drone (Part 2 also). Thank you!! I will definitely buy it now !!
Good choice!
You're more of a grown up than I am, I wouldn't have been able to resist dubbing in the noise from some V8 rat rod after going straight to the sound comparison from talking about this being DJI's most powerful offering
I just flew this drone in Chevelon Canyon, winds where over 30mph… this drone ate those winds and just gave me excellence!
Also a beginner and I LOVE IT!!!
It SCREAMS across the sky!
This is amazing Captain! I always find a lot of confort watching your videos! They are so much amazingly done! Your videos help me a lot, your english is easy to understand and I can improve more my english! Even if I'm working or almost can't get out my bed, I always find strenght to not lose any of your videos! Stay safe Captain! God bless you and your family!
Thank you!
Thank you Captain Drone for the review. I decided to buy one just now. It will be the way to go to learn to start flying FPV drones for sure.
Enjoy
Thanks Captain! I will send Santa a letter to bring me this, because I was a hard working dude and I love drones :P

Awesome job. One of the most thorough - no, THE most thorough drone video i've ever seen. Covered a lot of ground with amazing footage and even a pro/con list on the side.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Totally see the appeal of this drone. But what really interests me are the goggles. Thank you for the amazing review!
My pleasure!
This video is for me!
The motion controller blows my mind. 🤯
You'll see more of the motion controller and how it works, in episode #2
Hi Captain, thank you for the video, definetly a yes for me. The Meer fact you can fly in different modes, wins it for me.
dude you crack me up...........flying it into the hard snow...."the snow was ice". The snow sounded like it was a brick wall. Great vid as always. Keep having fun......
"Forward obstacle warning" sensor instead of "avoidance" hahaha thanks man your the best as always
The DJI FPV drone is like the F35 joint strike fighter . Nice video once again Steve . U killed it like always.
God bless take care& stay safe.
Thank you!
Excellent info and overview! Very helpful! Thank you!👍🏻👊🏼😎
Received mine yesterday...still waiting on the fly more combo
Great review thx “captain”
Enjoy it

The simulator is awesome also and it’s free, fly the drone from your armchair. Great build DJI. Nice intro Steve.
Oh for: 1)Autel EVO II's 6-direction Obstacle Avoidance 2)a low light (so called!) 1" or MFT sensor, (>8MP) with c)lightweight/lowcost (LiFe 18650, as per Tesla!) and 45minute + hover, AND digital 12km+ (FPV) video and SUB 250g (Of course it MUST also have a top speed of at least 100km/h too!) ; )
I really enjoyed the music in this video nice and relaxing😌👍🏻✨
Captain Drone ! Best video and explanation of drones reviews ! period
Thank you!
Wow Steve, That was Brilliant, And Who wouldn't want this Drone, I think it's amazing, I think they maid this for Everyone, for the Price, maybe they could of maid it out of Carbon fiber, The only way that I would get this FPV is if I win it, but we both know, that's not going to happen, Thank you Steve for giving someone a chance to Own this Fantastic FPV.

What a dream to own even the goggles.me and the group of young children I teach fpv were lucky enough to try orqa and dji goggles.wow.my self and the group were blown away.they are used to box goggles so to fly dji was amazing.great review cap stay safe.
Another great review, and really loved your intro on this one. Thanks as always for being so thorough when you review a product - but my wife probably won't thank you for making me really want one of these :-).
You'll have to buy her flowers, pour a glass of wine and give her a foot massage, then all will be good. :-)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 It's worth a try LOL
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 @David Bradshaw ... don't forget the bonbons !!! ¶ ;-)
Best review I’ve seen yet on this drone!! The dedication for doing this in all that snow.... hats off to you sir! We just went through one of the worst freezes ever down here in Texas and I was miserable having to just work in it; and you northern boys are out flying drones in it!! Keep up the great work. 👍
All that snow in Texas made the new every night up here in Canada. That much snow in Texas is a rare occurrence for sure.
Thank you. Comprehensive very informative and entertaining!!!!
I think you site is most different than others, you put the F into it. Fun, nice one, keep them coming
Thanks 👍
Excellent review as always, it is the first time I heard that you can take photos with this drone.
12 megapixel photos
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks
Thank you Captian ... the most part i like is the begginer gonna love it hahahhaaa yeeeeehy im gonna buy it soon. Thanks again and waiting part 2. Big fan from UAE.
Happy to hear that!
I loved the dji FPV however I couldn’t do the Motion sickness , I tried everything but it made me sick every time I used it , I had to sell it
Personal opinion - if you're a beginner and would like to dip your toe in FPV - buy an RTF kit from NewBeeDrone, BetaFPV etc.
If you want to dip your toe in the camera drones - buy a Tello.
No reason for a beginner to spend like 1,5k
Do newbeedrne and betafpv have stable flight modes and hover(hold capabilities? Panic mode? Return to home with gps?
@@cypvh74 I fly a custom build of the Beta85x drone and I must say that for the purposes I need it for - I do not require an autopilot.
And yes, there is a mode where the drone automatically levels itself after input, so that's plenty of hand-holding for my personal taste.
Furthermore, the price of the parts on both drones should also be considered when going about such a purchase.
In short: Always do the proper research before you invest your money and yourself in this.
In my opinion steve you are easily the best reviewer on the planet :)
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Does the motion controller already come with drone ?
Thanks a lots sir to give some tip and info in fpv
Another negative point, not only for beginners, is the high weight. Both for safety in case of creating third-party damage in case of crashing and for legal regulations.
It's an incredible product, expensive but really really nice. The FPV community is so curious about it and others are jealous. Thanks Captain! Your videos are awesome it doesn't matter if you review a dji fpv or a budget drone.
Thank you!
The motion controller for the dji fpv drone looks out of this world that i have seen on TH-cam videos with a round circle on the fpv goggles to show direction
You'll see it in Episode #2. I show exactly how it works, and show it in action with some first time pilots.
Hi mate. I've been following this drone and have a look for any stress fractures on the arms and there's a brace you can buy that will go from front to rear arm's that will help.
EPISODE 2 will show you that item.
I have watched a number of reviews on the DJI FPV drone. Most are very one sided one way or the other. I own a number of aerial drones.... I also have the DJI FPV drone. I really enjoy all of them. Your review is by far the most accurate review and fair on both positive and negatives. Awesome review.
Thank you!
Excellent pilot skills by you and the RC Plane. (Andre). Love your content and channel.
Thank you kindly!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I really want to start flying FPV. After flying DJI for awhile; a few mini's and an Air 2S, I am keen on dabbling with FPV. So I am looking through your posted videos. Whilst the DJI FPV is a bit pricey, I do like the safety features.
I was waiting for your insight/opinion on this drone. Very thorough video, especially giving the perspective from a beginner, camera drone, and FPV pilot. Looking forward to seeing part-2.
My pleasure!
Exactly the review I was waiting for. Thank God we got a review from you not like some of these other clown youtubers that all they want to show is the bad side of this fpv drone. Glad I got to see what I wanted. Thanks for the review @CaptainDrone, you're the best.
I appreciate that
Ey Capi, nice video as always. Quick tip: You can remove props from image in the camera options. No need to do it in post. 😉
Yes, in the goggle settings (adjust for distortion). I'm sure I tried that option but I didn't like the result as much because it switches the camera to linear mode.
Record in 1080p props gone too

I'm starting a point to point internet company. I bought this to check height, condition, line of sight, and tower inspections. Will be perfect for that I think.
@@2bloud Skydio 2+ or Autel Evo II are possibilities. The Falcon V-Copter drone test results were very promising too, great battery life on it.
Walkera 250 runner pro were my favorite and still as for racing fpv rtf .. i lost my trust with dji after they dump tens of thousands of naza users .. back to the video topic as usual amazing clear he honest description in details 👍🏻
Thanks that’s the excellent reviews I watch your channel for.
Glad you like them!
Perfect anniversary gift for my wife
Get her the matching case as well :-)
I've had mine a couple of weeks and LOVE IT!!
I like the cliff hanger at the end for episode 2.
I like you’re drones I ordered a new drone it arrives in 4 days can’t wait lol
Looks cool as hell. I see you are in Ottawa, flying at Millennium and Petrie Island ;)
Got mine on my Bday on the 15th - it has flown ZERO times - unable to activate the goggles.....and yes I have tried everything. Great vid sir!
I may make a video on how to set everything up since I do hear some people are having issues.
It can't get here fast enough!!! Like I said before great info and I'm just looking forward to trying flying FPV!!! Funny I have Phantom 4 and forget you can record amazing video I just love flying drones!!! Record or taking pics is not even a concern for me!!! All about flying and not spying!!!
Nice VId, you really got me on the comparison, why you would and wouldn't buy the drone combo.
Firstly great channel 👏 I feel slightly lucky ... been flying analogue around 6 months deffo moving into digital so for me this combo is a no brainer 600 for goggles may as well go the hole hog and get myself a new mavic in the process ... just a bit miffed the controller is apparently locked to the fpv drone... I have a naz HD on order and was really hoping the controller would work with the air unit... do we think they will change this at some point ? Keep up the great work Steve can't wait for ep 2 ... 👍👍👍
Yes I hope so. I think DJI will put out version 2 of the DJI FPV AIR Unit in 2021 and it will work with this controller, which means that we'll then see lots of FPV drones coming on the market where one can use this controller. Just my guess.
Thanks for the awesome review, Captain! I also looked at Ken Heron and Joshua Bardwell's review videos and I must say you did a good job explaining who this drone is for and who it isn't for. Absolutely no doubt it is a feature rich drone that straddles two drone worlds, but I can see that some corners were cut, too. Looking forward to part 2 and how the sim works.
This drone is so cool, it'd be crazy to see someone like Mr Steele try this thing out
I'm pretty sure he'll try it soon. I recall when the DJI digital system came out, he avoided it for months, then tried it, then loved it but would not give up analog, but as time went on he used the digital more. I expect something similar but since he tunes his quads in such a very personal way, he may not be able to tune the DJI Drone in the same way and therefore, it will not be anything he likes.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Not to mention it wont perform the same way his 5inch freestyle quads do
Yea i been wanting this drone.I have nothing right now but like you said the price is what has me on the fence about it..
What a GREAT video Steve. My goodness buddy, this is one of your best. That intro is AWSOME. I'am an experienced FPV pilot and I'am loving the shit out of all the DJI FPV uploads
Very cool!
Crazy great flying skills x 2
Thanks for the good work and superb video
Im a beginner whose only flown a drone a couple times but am setting out building a youtube channel which would use both an FPV and a cinematic drone so, this would be ideal for my use!
Thanks so much for the great info! Made my decision SO much easier!
Great unbiased review, bring on part 2!
4:10 Straight up the information I needed ot hear as a beginner. Your opinions matter way more than any other DJI camera drone youtuber operator.
thanks for the information. Super informative. On this note, i'll be sticking to my betafpv starter racer kit for a bit more, lol.
Hello Captain, I'm new to the Drones world and I just bought the Syma X20P, I like it but hate the 5 minutes Flying time, then I got myself a DJI Tello, I also like it but I have came across a couple of problems, Props flying off sometimes when I Do the flips, and they break quickly, now I'm planning to get this in the future, you are amazing and thank you
I thinks this drone is one of the best !! Is a 1,000 $ drone so is worthy !
Yassssss Capitán, great video 📷📸👍
Thank you!
This new wonder drone is def for me. Totally stable, safe FPV drone and goggles. This is probably as far into the FPV world that I would ever want to go and I would be a happy man. I can't imagine ever being able to afford the asking price for this though and that makes me a sad man :( . That's my prob, not yours, sorry. Thanks for sharing the video. At least I can live vicariously through the videos.
Phew...finally, I've been waiting for ur blog on this.
I was waiting for your review!!!!!! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Brilliant video & brilliant FPV drone Steve! 😀👍👍
I just picked up my DJI FPV from Best Buy yesterday so excited to fly it today I didnt realize though how expensive the battery’s were
All DJI Batteries, for any drone, are expensive. That is one of the many costs of owning a DJI drone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Indeed
Great review thank you. I managed to get one last week and they are as you describe - a great package. I’ve noticed in sport mode it still gives warnings of obstacles or low altitude. Your right about the price, perfect for what you get.
Great to hear!
Wish I had some stickers for my fpv drone ! Keep up the amazing work luv your channel !
You sir are a wonderful breath of fresh air in the video review market. Thank you for the informative video. +1 from me bud.
My pleasure!
Brilliant. I have been watching lots of youtube footage on this FPV and i knew instantly when i watched you review that it was going to be an awesome view, you make things all so interesting wheather it be good or bad. Keep doing what your do cause you are great at it.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
You’re right very convincing awesome review yeah I love it 😊🤙🏾
So what is the best FPV drone out there that beats the video quality and features of this drone? I have read comments from countless people saying one thing or another. To each his own I guess.
The DJI FPV Drone is a HYBRID DRONE which means it is part CAMERA DRONE and part FPV DRONE. It is not a true FPV drone or Camera Drone so when people in the FPV world say they have better drones, they probably do in the FPV hobby. And people in the Camera Drone hobby would also say they have better camera drones. To me the DJI FPV Drone is a jack of all trades... it just does everything so for someone that is a pro like myself, I really like it due to the versatility.
Excellent as usual.
Please note that the simulator is not available on Android phones.
Also, I don't believe you mentioned how to engage Return to Home.
Check the DJI software downloads. RTH is done by holding in the button on top of the gimbal dial.
Another great, honest, and informative review from the Captain!
Thank you kindly!
