- All right.

I got to the park

and I'm about to have

my very first flight with a DJ FPV.

It could happen

could have had to happen.

I don't think it was entirely my fault

but let's just get into it.

This is the DJ FPV.

(dramatic music)

- So ever since drones

reached the mainstream,

it became an easy way

for videographers,

and photographers,

to get perspectives,

they could have only dream of,

or, you know would need

to rent a helicopter for,

at the same time

the first person view or FPV drones,

and racing drones

were slowly establishing their presence.

- We live in the age of drones.

- A new sport is emerging

at breakneck speed.

- It was a niche DIY

community at first,

then drone racing league

started popping all over the place,

eventually it got picked up by ESPN,

but that DIY culture,

still remained a big

part of the sport.

Nowadays, FPV racers,

started using their

hard earned skills,

also for filming purposes,

and creating this new trend

among drone pilots,

which is cinematic FPVs

Now the world's biggest consumer,

drone company DJI,

is ready to hop

on that trend,

and is releasing its first FPV drone.

The drone is bundled together

with DJI's existing goggles,

and the brand new controller.

The whole $1,300 kit is tailored

towards experience FPV pilots,

but also newcomers

like myself, looking to up

their drone game.

So let's take of look at how DJS FPV kit

compares to the rest of the market,

and also let's find out how easy

or hard it is to learn to fly

FPV's in less than two weeks.

So the first selling price

of the system is the simplicity.

No need to know how

to build your own drone,

calibrate motors,

get the transmitters right,

get the balance right,

It really is as plan and play as it gets.

The drone is heavier

than most FPV drones

and that's due to this hefty battery.

But the battery,

is also a big selling point for DJI.

It has a runtime of 20 minutes.

And if you're used to

standard drones like you know Mavics

or Phantoms or Parrots,

you might think that this is short,

but if you're used to FPV drones,

this is actually a significant upgrade,

from what you normally get,

which varies from three minutes,

for a very tiny drones,

to around 10 to 15 minutes,

for larger activities.

It's also DJI's intelligent battery,

meaning that this charge

is after a few days

when not in use,

to maximize the slice.

Another plus for you

who just don't wanna deal

with proper battery etiquette.

So usually in my drone reviews

I often spend

a lot of time pixel peeping,

talk about image quality

of drone cameras.

What you need to know

is that it shares the same sensor,

as the mini two,

except this FPV,

can film 4k at 60 frames per second,

instead of 24 frames per second.

So you can slow

down footage for those

thrilling close calls.

And if you ever want it even slower

you can also shoot slow motion,

at 120 frames per second at 1080P.

And overall the camera's really good.

It is great in good light,

and not so great in low light.

Also it has electronic

image stabilizer built in.

I do wish you used a better camera,

with a larger sensor,

but I get it,

It's DJI's first that free drone,

and if it ends up being successful,

it's safe to assume,

we'll see a more diverse

lineup in the future.

The camera is mounted

on a one axis gimbal,

and it has a super eye view

of 150 degrees compared

to 83 degrees that you normally

get on that magnitude for example.

You can also actually see

the ends of your propellers,

in your footage,

which is great for gauging

how close you are

to certain obstacles while flying,

but obviously not so great

for overall aesthetic,

in the final clip.

You can either choose

to remove it in post-production,

or apply a lens correction

in the menu in the goggles,

which will also get rid of these

very, very distorted edges.

But I personally kind of

liked that Look,

even with propellers in there.

The biggest difference between DJI's FPV

and most other FPV's,

is the image transmission.

First, DJI FPV drone,

is relying on digital transmission,

which had introduced

in December of 2019.

Most started FPV drones drones,

they rely on analog transmission.

The downside of analog transmission,

is that it doesn't allow

for long distance flying,

but it is very low latency,

which takes precedence over range.

However, DJI is using its

audio sync technology here,

and from my experience

over the past few weeks,

like always, it's been great,

but it's actually

hasn't been as good as with some

of the other DJI drones.

At a few random points,

I did notice some certain appearance

with the image,

where the image would get pixelated,

and I would just have to stop

for a few beats,

before I continued flying.

And these goggles

were into these last year too.

And they look interesting.

I'm getting a very

Christopher Nolan Neo,

bad meniscal vibe from it.

I can't help feeling

like a complete idiot wearing them,

but Peter said, it looks badass.

I'll just trust him on that one.

There's the joystick,

and a back button,

and the record button

and the display is eight, 10 P,

at 120 frames per second.

It really looks crisp and smooth.

Lastly, there's this new controller,

that is almost half the size

of other FPV controllers,

and it looks good,

and it feels good.

You can pop the back

so you can adjust the tightness,

of the joysticks as well.

And there's this

optional motion controller,

which I'll be honest,

I didn't have time to test,

or any interest in testing it,

I just feel more comfortable

with a standard controller

at this point.

but there's one thing

I can tell you about

both of these is that,

neither charge with a USBC,

to USBC cable

just use BA to USBC cable,

and it's infuriating,

I just don't get it.

So once again,

this whole kit will cost

around $1,300,

compared to some other options online,

you can definitely get away

with spending a lot less,

until you feel more comfortable,

flying an FPV.

Tiny Hawk makes some of the best

beginner FPV drones,

and they're started $99,

without a controller

and goggles that is.

But he feared the level,

where you feel already

comfortable flying,

I think that this price

is comparable for what's out there.

Okay. That should cover all

the horror things you need to know.

If you have more questions,

be sure to drop them below.

But yeah, let's talk about

the flying experience of this thing.

(uptown music)

So there are three modes

you can fly this drone in,

normal sport,

and fully manual.

Normal is basically

how you fly any other DJI drones,

and the speed is capped at,

50 kilometers per hour,

conversion here.

Sport mode is simplified FPV mode,

and it's a lot faster

than normal mode,

which speeds up to,

97 kilometers per hour.

And the drone would

hold altitude in both

of these modes,

and kind of balance itself out.

And lastly, there's this manual mode,

which allows you to do

the things like this.

It can reach speeds

up to 140 kilometers per hour,

and it has acceleration

of zero to 60,

in under two seconds.

Here, you'll have to get comfortable,

controlling your altitude,

and the throttle yourself,

which is what FPV Kyle

call ACRA mode.

And I'm nowhere near being good at.

Okay. Before we go any further,

I have to stress this again.

This is my first time flying an FPV.

I always had an interest in it,

especially once I started

seeing FPV races,

transitioning into the cinematic FPV world.

Like that footage looks so cool.

And DJI isn't aiming

this drone races,

but for people to get

comfortable with FPV's

or trying to make that step

into the FPV world,

but were maybe discouraged

by the DIY aspect of it all,

like myself.

And DJI is really trying to

kinda hold your hand

throughout this whole process,

until you become

more comfortable with flying

in a fully manual mode,

which obviously takes hours,
