So as a complete beginner, I agree that I don't think it will withstand any substantial crash. BUT! Thankfully, in mode 1 it really helps you not crash while you figure out how your stick movement is interacting with the drone. I absolutely love that, because even on a sim, it get's frustrating for me because there is such a disconnect with how to make the sticks do what you want it to do. Then I just keep crashing and I can't get into a rhythm of learning. This drone allowed me a lot of grace to figure it out... then I was able to "get the feel" of what to do, and I did it! I thiiiink I'll be able to get into full manual mode soon. We shall seeeeee! My goal is to learn with this until I'm in full manual mode, then build my own 5" HD drone. Happy I'll already have the V2 goggles to grow with.
Thats not works like that buddy. ACRO mode are totally different that any other, and for horizont mode or DJI its give to you only bad habits. To Fly ACRO you need to crash, then learn how to avoid crashes and dont be afraid about them.
@@Kopcio01 I guess we'll see soon enough! When I'm ready to try full acro I'll be building a proper freestyle frame that can withstand crashing. We'll see if my stick time with this DJI FPV Drone translates over. Luckily for me, I have my son helping me to avoid learning bad habits. Regardless, I'm having fun 😁

To all the haters. Grow up. I've been building and flying free style for years now. I also love that DJI did this.

I've watched more then half a dozen reviews about this drone. This was by far the best being most honest about key features both good and bad - while also showing real freestyle capabilities. Great video! I'm sold, I'd love to get one and get my way into the FPV world!
I have had a few DJI drones and about 3 fpv quads over the years. I always start in angle mode and go into horizon but never made it to flying full acro all the time before inevitably crashing them and not knowing what or how to fix it. When I saw this I was sold. I've had it 2 weeks and with the simulator, warranty and panic button I'm in full acro all the time. After crashing my last $500 rtf kit I swore I was done with quads but I just love the hobby. This thing literally got me back into fpv and you can fly it in beginner mode and take great gimbal photos too. Jack of all trades but a master of none and I couldn't be happier
As an avid FPV flyer, this has its pros and cons. The latency can have a problem for courses that require pinpoint accuracy as well as maximum speed, but damn that clarity is something that you've really got to see!
Well they all drive teslas now and are primarily motivated by money and business. It's no longer a hobby for them. Keep this in mind when watching their content, it's mostly ads now. Not blaming them, I'd probably do the same in their positions. Still doesn't change the fact that it's sad.
@@AGILISFPV After the Fetec Kiss video this one is the topper... I like a well done infomercial, these guys are just getting a little bit over the top with their completely biased promotion of merch...
The panic switch is absolutely an amazing feature to have on this drone but you can make one with a normal racing drone setup. I currently have a panic switch and it works wonders. There are little spots where I fly that I call “Black out zones” and these are spots where my goggles just completely cut and my screen goes to static. I have my controller set up so I have a switch that can control all three flight modes (Acro , Horizon and Angle). I have acro set up at the top of the switch because that’s how I fly, then the middle is horizon and at the bottom is Angle. If something happens like I hit a black out zone, I flick that switch and boom, the drone is self righted and level, after this I wait a second then hit the throttle slowly so it goes higher (Just keep in mind it will not hover!!!). This allows the drone to be higher up and I can take off my goggles if needed to bring the drone back safely. This is an amazing thing to have and it has saved my drone many times. Hope this helps somebody that wants this feature.
@@look2christ777 when something goes bad just switch your drone into Angle mode and it will self right and fix itself but it WILL NOT keep your drone stable like the DJI does. It will keep your drone from going upside down but it can and will still go all other direction including up and down but it is useful to save it from smashing Into the ground and breaking it more.
I think Rotor Riot did a fantastic job introducing this drone into the FPV world, nice job guys and AWESOME shout out to FPV Mama! That was so fun to watch her fly and see what her son has been doing all these months. I'm stoked, I fly FPV, have been for 7 months now and I am just in love with this hobby all around. Been building, flying, crashing and fixing but this new DJI drone is going to be a whole different ball game and just get's me more excited about the hobby. Can't wait to pick mine up on Saturday!!!
People hatin'. Admit it, it's an awesome piece of tech. They killed it. All the different modes and assists, plus insta-braking, they did a good job with the flight control. Cheers to them.
I'm glad it was received that way... it was a lot of silly screaming. Haha! But Bubby posted a training video with me on his channel and it was much more calm. Still so much fun! My favorite is the BRoll end clip with my crashes 😂 th-cam.com/video/j7lC6WWxqoc/w-d-xo.html
It’s nice but I predict very few seasoned pilots like use this. My issue is the freestyle flights look different from normal freestyle. I can tell just by looking at the video that it’s not a normal quad. For all the people saying rotor riot is selling out; they are a business, they are here to sell products. Why would they come on TH-cam and say that a product they sell is bad? The problem is that some of us remember when rotor riot was idea and not a brand. Accept rotor riot for who they are. They are a company that sells products and they utilize TH-cam to sell said products.
The only people that get mad about someone making good money doing something cool that they love are kids. Once you've been working a 9-to-5 for a decade, you'll thinking rotoriot plugging products is the coolest thing on the planet, and you'll wish you could do it too.
Recently retired airline pilot here. As an `old fart` newbie to fpv drones I love the hand holding features of N mode. Gives a feeling of confidence that I won`t wreck the thing in the first 15 minutes. Haven`t crashed it at all yet :) A suggestion for someone who is brand new to remote control drones: buy a cheap toy to learn the rc basics. I`m Loving being `in the cockpit` again with the fpv goggles.
I’ve had mine for 2 weeks now. Countless hours in the sim, and I’m flying around in manual. The best way to think about it is as a hybrid drone. I can still throw it in sport mode and hover around the skatepark filming friends. Then get home, and rip across the fields at 80 mph. Shoot up 300 ft and start flipping around. No way I’ll be shooting gaps in parking garages, but it definitely has a place.
This drone is actually a bad idea for learning acro, get a cheap 3in with dji to learn on, this one will be destroyed in seconds and it won't be easy to fix it.
That's actually a good idea. But I cant find a good kit. Because if you buy the DJI stuff separately its nearly as expensiv as for example the HD-1 set by RR.
@@m.j.2774 Buy seperate and learn bud. If you want a real fpv quad you still need to learn because this ain't it. Even the pros crash, ALOT, and this plastic toy will break every single time. Only real carbon kwads can take the abuse. If you wanna learn acro, this thing ain't it.
@@10fantic Yes I already thought about buying the HD-1 set. Because if buy the DJI goggles, radio and flightunit as a pack. It cost already round about 900$. The HD-01 starter kit is "only" 1,5k. That's actually quite hard to beat. Don't get me wrong. I would love to find a cheaper way to start Flying. I just couldn't find one.
Drew is so good at throwing shade ^_^ "the lights are the best feature of this drone so far". Haha also when drew was reeling in vanover like a fish to calm his bias down haha I'm dying 🤣
To learn to fly full acro you have to crash. There's no way around it. Your going to crash. So how is this a good choice for begginners when it breaks on the first crash
I hear the air force tells their fighter pilots the same thing: here’s an F15 but in order to learn to dogfight you’re gonna crash a few of these…. Actually not. They put you on a sim.
@@flyineyeaerialfpv5592 DJI gave these guys 2 drones each for free NO STRINGS ATTACHED. you have to understand the Chinese have a completely different view of advertising. It correlates to the way they dont see intellectual property theft as theft. If you can take an existing idea and improve upon it, then by all means go ahead. Even name it brand it and logo it the exact same so you already have advertising.
I love the r.r. crew they're the reason I got into FPV...Very beginner friendly type approach so this should sell well for them is much as true die hard FPV pilots they are they are doing what they can to be nice about the whole idea...DJIs name is on it so of course it's gonna do well regardless if it's very breakable or what. People with a good but of money really don't care I suppose they just wanna say they have the new drone and show it to friends or whatever. And that's fine I'm not hating or gate keeping FPV like I've read in lots of comments. I just won't be buying this EVER....Had I not started FPV yet and was getting into it today...I would still go the traditional way with a carbon fiber frame and build a solid non breaking crashable FPV drone WITH TURTLE MODE..Reason this doesn't have Turtle mode is because DJI knows its breaking on the first crash at more than 25 mph especially with the weight of that big 6s smart battery....Its like saying walking through broken glass with bare feet and don't get cut lol....1 crash for 1500.00 is an expensive crash...And with no availability on common replacement parts. Hmmmm what's DJI up to here??
I mean it looks pretty cool no reason to be such a hater. And I kinda wanna see one smashed into a wall or tree full send. If they don’t finish the livestream without wrecking the kwad full speed I’ll be disappointed in rotor riot.
You guys are awesome. I just got this drone, I'm a total beginner. This is my first drone. Thanks for the review and tips. If you both like it, I know I made a good call!
This drone will help them get excited! Haha! The sim didn't cut it for me, but this was instant fun! You can see our full training video on his channel. Lots of fun, less screaming 🤣 th-cam.com/video/j7lC6WWxqoc/w-d-xo.html
Bardwell did that and surprise surprise this is what happens to a polymer frame. I wonder if having carbon rods could at least give it strength to not snap when tapped by a tree trunk.
Roto Riot you guys fly so awesome. I fly every single day. I been building cool stuff too 😎 Yup bad ass stuff. This Dji fpv is so sweet for everyone 😍 You will love the way you fly I guarantee it
I think I'm gonna buy myself one. I have quite a few analog rigs of all different sizes. However I recently bought a dji mini 2 for a beach vacation and was blown away by the occusync. I'm gonna go for the combo mainly for the goggles but I'm quite impressed by the drone itself.
Of you get to that button in time yea....if not then what? I think this will result in a lot of people sending in broken quads....I suspect that DJI knows they will be making a ton with the repair service
@@flyineyeaerialfpv5592 Tbf, they would make more money if they didn't have that button at all. Then every drone would need to be repaired probably first flight out. They don't make money by adding assists. Not to say that they aren't gonna rake in a lot of cash with this one.
I'm glad you shown that the LEDs are able to be change to users preference. I don't know why dji didn't use that as part of marketing. That's a huge thing for me as well so it sets your drone apart from others that might be around.great video 📸
Alright shawn now it's time to tear it apart and put everything on a carbon frame. And I wanna see what y'all can do with the motion controller. Also It would be fun to have a motion controller work like that with our quads too. Seem like it would be fun for a novelty fun fly
Josh Bardwell said he left the stick centering springs as is so to have proper RTH and alt hold. If you have a free (no centering spring action) throttle stick, then you need to remember to manually, physically center throttle to get alt hold and other failsafe features.
Your mom rocks! So awesome to see yall flying together. I hate to admit it, but the DJI FPV drone looks really appealing. I'm surprised that more companies like Skydio or Parrot haven't come out with FPV combo kits like that. Kits that are kind of a hybrid between GPS and Acro with both sets of features. That will bring alot of new people into our hobby. Great video as always fellas!
Awww! Thank you! I have been having so much fun with it! I have a couple of fun edits on my channel now. It's an AWESOME drone to have, beginner or not.
@@tb303wpf1 oh it's totally a new thing.... only because of this drone and some friends asking me to post. My channel was never intended to be me flying! Hahaha!

The drone looks amazing 😉! My only gripe is they didn’t make it under 250 grams considering it is made of plastic or at least make a second version that is under 250 grams. A lot of people are gonna want this drone but the over 250 grams factor is gonna make them want to get a mini fpv rtf instead. The obstacle avoidance features and other advanced cam features are amazing!
Rotor Riot: "This is a difficult hobby to get into, because of how difficult it is to build these drone & how difficult it is to fly these drones." RC Helicopters: "That's cute."
This DJI FPV Drone combo was my first Drone and I must say I am hooked. I want to buy the Mini Pro 3 now to have a screen style camera Drone next. DJI Really should add the flight info that is in the goggles to the phone or tablets screen running the DJI fly app, that way you could hang the google on a tripod an fly none fpv also.
WOW! I can tell you I am having the greatest time with it. You can watch Bubby's full video of him training me on his channel. We had a lot of fun. My favorite is the crash bloopers at the end
Its insane to me that no one else it making it this easy tk get into FPV. the reason so few people fly FPV is because the learning curve is soooooo high. Not only flying but setup.
It's intriguing if you look at it as a Mavic replacement. However, the fact that you can't tilt down all the way doesn't really make it a full Mavic replacement either. What's amazing is the price and value that DJI puts out. I mean a controller, drone, goggles, etc. for $1,200 is amazing value.

I hear the air force tells their fighter pilots the same thing: here’s an F15 but in order to learn to dogfight you’re gonna crash a few of these…. Actually not. They put you on a sim.
Vanover: The latency is going to be a big problem.
Two seconds later
" This could be my everyday quad!"
And he said it doesn't fly the best then says it flies great literally 2 min later...They are just doing and saying what DJI kinda wants them to
@@flyineyeaerialfpv5592 DJI gave these guys 2 drones each for free NO STRINGS ATTACHED. you have to understand the Chinese have a completely different view of advertising. It correlates to the way they dont see intellectual property theft as theft. If you can take an existing idea and improve upon it, then by all means go ahead. Even name it brand it and logo it the exact same so you already have advertising.
@@Stewpkiddable I totally agree Jake
I love the r.r. crew they're the reason I got into FPV...Very beginner friendly type approach so this should sell well for them is much as true die hard FPV pilots they are they are doing what they can to be nice about the whole idea...DJIs name is on it so of course it's gonna do well regardless if it's very breakable or what. People with a good but of money really don't care I suppose they just wanna say they have the new drone and show it to friends or whatever. And that's fine I'm not hating or gate keeping FPV like I've read in lots of comments. I just won't be buying this EVER....Had I not started FPV yet and was getting into it today...I would still go the traditional way with a carbon fiber frame and build a solid non breaking crashable FPV drone WITH TURTLE MODE..Reason this doesn't have Turtle mode is because DJI knows its breaking on the first crash at more than 25 mph especially with the weight of that big 6s smart battery....Its like saying walking through broken glass with bare feet and don't get cut lol....1 crash for 1500.00 is an expensive crash...And with no availability on common replacement parts. Hmmmm what's DJI up to here??
@@flyineyeaerialfpv5592 The DJI FPV has turtle mode
I mean it looks pretty cool no reason to be such a hater. And I kinda wanna see one smashed into a wall or tree full send. If they don’t finish the livestream without wrecking the kwad full speed I’ll be disappointed in rotor riot.
Watch Bardwell's review.. little bump into a tree = catastrophic damage, arm broken.. no spare parts available. Looool
@@ufopilotFPV it wasn't catastrophic damage at all... the arm came out of the body, new arm = fixed.
@@Atlas_FPV the base where the arm attaches also broke.
@@Atlas_FPV good luck replacing that arm
@@ufopilotFPV you've summoned him! @Joshua Bardwell
Wow, so many reviews out about this New DJI drone by my favorite FPV pilots, you the man!
So many ads in a 29 min ad.
in the future, if you put a period at the end of a youtube link, it takes away the ads.
They're not ads. They're chapter breaks.
@@JoshuaBardwell I was about to ask what ads he was seeing hahaha
@@JoshuaBardwell i have an app that removes ads, but i was just saying for reference.
@@QuintenC really?!
You guys are awesome. I just got this drone, I'm a total beginner. This is my first drone. Thanks for the review and tips. If you both like it, I know I made a good call!
Just ordered mine!
mamafpv is ripping!
Hahaha! It was soooooo fun to weave through the trees! There's more on Bubby's channel 🥰
25:04
PCMR with there RGB goodness: Welcome to the club...
You guys being so excited by this FPV when first trying it was very fun to see
A really fun video to watch. Your excitement is contagious...
You guys inspired me to get into FPV! Just ordered the DJI FPV so I can learn. We’ll see how it goes 😬🤞
Any updates?
Mannn, I wish my fam got this hyped about fpv like Bubbys mom does! Hahaa I’m alone on this one😂😭
This drone will help them get excited! Haha! The sim didn't cut it for me, but this was instant fun!
You can see our full training video on his channel. Lots of fun, less screaming 🤣
th-cam.com/video/j7lC6WWxqoc/w-d-xo.html
@@FPVMama you’re awesome haha keep screaming! It shows you’re having fun:)
@@avasianfpv hahaha! Thank you 🥰
I love that you can use the switch as a panic switch. Like planes.. 👍
Crash test it. I appreciate DJI making a drone that everyone can use and learn with but that looks like if you tap a tree branch it will get trashed
Thats what Bardwell did.. one bump and the arm snapped, not replaceable.
Um hardwell shown his broken drone lol
@@ufopilotFPV You really hate this thing, huh.
Bardwell did that and surprise surprise this is what happens to a polymer frame. I wonder if having carbon rods could at least give it strength to not snap when tapped by a tree trunk.
Just go watch Bardwells full review...go to about 4:30 in said video 😏
Bring it out to this 1700 acre off-road park in ky and really put that thing to the test!
Can't fly it anywhere else!
Where is the coffee making part guys?😂
It does look like the plastic from a keurig
Ok I’m totally stealing the belly light idea for my next build. Thanks DJI
Looks like yours held up better that the one @Joshua Bardwell crashed 💥 😆
Great share! Beautiful review!
Answered all my questions. Thanks so much guys
Roto Riot you guys fly so awesome.
I fly every single day.
I been building cool stuff too 😎
Yup bad ass stuff.
This Dji fpv is so sweet for everyone 😍
You will love the way you fly I guarantee it
Amazing....Very very Softly & Smooth. So Nice for footage FPV
FPV MOM and BUBBY FPV FOR THE WIN
🥰
Man u guys are awesome. Just ordered my DJI FPV Combo and cannot wait to get started. First drone so wish me luck haha
SOLD. Upgrading from my Mini.
crazy little thing, some interesting features too 😎
Loved how Vanny turned the drone on with the gimbal clamp still on. And left it on like that! Like this if you get what I'm saying
This is AWESOME!! I want to
See Tommy
Great tips guys, sports mode thank you. More more
I think I'm gonna buy myself one. I have quite a few analog rigs of all different sizes. However I recently bought a dji mini 2 for a beach vacation and was blown away by the occusync. I'm gonna go for the combo mainly for the goggles but I'm quite impressed by the drone itself.
Amazing review guys, this genuinely was SUPER helpful. Great job.
So you could be flying acro and if you mess up you can use the e-brake stability mode, that's fantastic!
Of you get to that button in time yea....if not then what? I think this will result in a lot of people sending in broken quads....I suspect that DJI knows they will be making a ton with the repair service
@@flyineyeaerialfpv5592 Tbf, they would make more money if they didn't have that button at all. Then every drone would need to be repaired probably first flight out. They don't make money by adding assists. Not to say that they aren't gonna rake in a lot of cash with this one.
It works but if you crash right after hitting the brake button it's now switched to normal mode and there's no good quick way to disarm.
I'm glad you shown that the LEDs are able to be change to users preference. I don't know why dji didn't use that as part of marketing. That's a huge thing for me as well so it sets your drone apart from others that might be around.great video 📸
Alright shawn now it's time to tear it apart and put everything on a carbon frame. And I wanna see what y'all can do with the motion controller. Also It would be fun to have a motion controller work like that with our quads too. Seem like it would be fun for a novelty fun fly
Thanks Rotor Riot
17:23 clooose call dude
It is very expensve and FRAGILE, and it has performance like the drones on the beggining of the hobby!
I really want one. So cool
This is the review that this drone needed. Great stuff guys!
Watch JB's review. Very honest.
One handed pilots might really enjoy this as well
Josh Bardwell said he left the stick centering springs as is so to have proper RTH and alt hold. If you have a free (no centering spring action) throttle stick, then you need to remember to manually, physically center throttle to get alt hold and other failsafe features.
BEST Video ! Best Content ! mega Funny ! greets from Germany
This is Mavic on steroids xD
Mad practice
Your mom rocks! So awesome to see yall flying together. I hate to admit it, but the DJI FPV drone looks really appealing. I'm surprised that more companies like Skydio or Parrot haven't come out with FPV combo kits like that. Kits that are kind of a hybrid between GPS and Acro with both sets of features. That will bring alot of new people into our hobby. Great video as always fellas!
Awww! Thank you! I have been having so much fun with it! I have a couple of fun edits on my channel now. It's an AWESOME drone to have, beginner or not.
@@FPVMama You're very much welcome. Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your channel tonight. I didn't realize you had one until just now. Lol 🤘😉
@@tb303wpf1 oh it's totally a new thing.... only because of this drone and some friends asking me to post. My channel was never intended to be me flying! Hahaha! I had set it up to be a place for Bubby's B-Roll of things I liked that he would never put on his channel. That's why the only other thing on there is one of his rescue videos. LOL
That's the V2 Goggle right?
That was enjoyable! You guys looked like you had fun...which is the entire point! Thanks!
The drone looks amazing 😉! My only gripe is they didn’t make it under 250 grams considering it is made of plastic or at least make a second version that is under 250 grams. A lot of people are gonna want this drone but the over 250 grams factor is gonna make them want to get a mini fpv rtf instead. The obstacle avoidance features and other advanced cam features are amazing!
DJI RoboMAster + DJI FPV = Real Drone Wars
Best review, it is certainly a game changer when the Captain says it is really good.
Rotor Riot: "This is a difficult hobby to get into, because of how difficult it is to build these drone & how difficult it is to fly these drones."
RC Helicopters: "That's cute."
FINALLY A GOOD DJI STYLE MID
as always you show us more than others, spot light, changing colors, and the discussions you have with the group. Great job top all and thanks.
The hardest step isn’t going from conventional to fpv, it’s getting the money needed for this
This DJI FPV Drone combo was my first Drone and I must say I am hooked. I want to buy the Mini Pro 3 now to have a screen style camera Drone next. DJI Really should add the flight info that is in the goggles to the phone or tablets screen running the DJI fly app, that way you could hang the google on a tripod an fly none fpv also.
Absolute mad skills, almost unbelievable.
Sticking to good ol carbon frames
Anyone else notice the medal hazard at 17:25... that was almost GG
17:25 made me jump a little, LOL
Thanks for a very informative review. Our team never considered FPV, but after watching "mom" fly, I think we might have to get into this! Well done.
WOW! I can tell you I am having the greatest time with it. You can watch Bubby's full video of him training me on his channel. We had a lot of fun. My favorite is the crash bloopers at the end
dude has some serious skills. flip around and fly in reverse between trees on a drone you just got on...
Its insane to me that no one else it making it this easy tk get into FPV. the reason so few people fly FPV is because the learning curve is soooooo high. Not only flying but setup.
Wow, should have had Alex fly this for DJI for their promotion footage, that would have been the bomb! He does make it look so easy!
Awesome.
It's intriguing if you look at it as a Mavic replacement. However, the fact that you can't tilt down all the way doesn't really make it a full Mavic replacement either. What's amazing is the price and value that DJI puts out. I mean a controller, drone, goggles, etc. for $1,200 is amazing value.
OMG really fast :D What an advertisement
17:25 Near miss nice vid
He almost hit the box around 17:00
awesome, you got a new subscriber
So, okay, now I'm waiting for FALES (2021) with this drone. But, I should say, that they done great stuff...
Awesome review and different perspectives were great. Keep up the great work and contents.
