About this Item

DJI FPV Drone – Immersive Flight

I am sure at first you are wondering, what does FPV mean on a drone. FPV is, first-person view flying. FPV has revolutionized the radio control hobby. By definition, it is a method used to control an unmanned aerial vehicle, (UAV), or radio-controlled vehicle from the driver or pilots perspective.

This drone comes with the Immersive Flight Experience so you can feel the thrill of immersive flight provided by the FPV Goggles V2 and the DJI FPV’s super-wide150° FOV, giving you an ultra smooth, real time view of your flight.

The DJI FPV aircraft can record 4K/60fps video at up to 120 M bps, capturing crisp details that make’s your footage look as exhilarating as the flight itself.

It comes with a brand new S-mode. Get the dynamic look of FPV footage easily in the S mode. This hybrid flight mode combines the freedom of flying manually with the simplified controls of previously made DJI drones.

There are some advanced safety features included with this model. An auxiliary bottom light, RTH smart return home, low battery RTH, and forward and downward obstacle sensing are all integrated into the DJI FPV to help ensure a safe flight, even at high speeds. The speed on this drone is capable of flying at 87.24 mph. It also comes with the emergency brake and hover button.

What is the maximum transmission range of DJI FPV: DJI FPV comes with DJI O3 (OcuSync 3.0), DJI’s best transmission system yet. DJI O3 was adapted to match the unique needs of DJI FPV, and features crystal-clear real-time video transmission at distances of up to 10km or 6.2 miles

 

What’s the Difference Between DJI FPV and Traditional Drones?

DJI FPV Drone – Immersive Flight

Generally speaking, FPV drones differ from traditional drones in tow major ways. One is the immersive flight experience you get that is provided by the goggles. The second major difference is the actual flight itself. Compared to most camera drones, FPV drones typically allow for higher speeds and limitless maneuvering capabilities with no angle limits on any of the axes. Because of this, FPV drones typically require a much higher level of skill to fly. Which is why DJI added the new S-mode for this model. It allows less experienced drivers to still be able to fly an FPV and develop their skill level so they can in time fly an FPV at an expert level.

What is the difference between DJI FPV and traditional racing drones?

DJI FPV has a built-in imaging system, high-definition, low-latency transmission with a range of up to 10km, and a battery life of approximately 20 minutes. The integrated, ready-to-fly design means users do not need to assemble the drone or make any type of upgrades to improve the speed. DJI FPV is also equipped with advanced safety features such as emergency brake hovering, return to home intelligence, and DJI Care refresh for added flight protection which can give you some peace of mind for avoidable accidents. Why would you need any of these option for a drone that you would want to build and design for winning a race.

Racing drones can reach speeds of up to 120mph. Skilled racing drone pilots fly quad-copter drones through three-dimensional courses. DRL, (drone racing league), drones are custom-built for speed, agility, and performance. With a ready-to fly drone there isn’t the ability to make changes to the design and personalize it, giving it some of your own character.

The DJI FPV comes with the option of a Combo purchase. The question is it worth it?

The DJI FPV combo comes with everything you need to start flying. It includes the FPV drone, Goggles V2, Remote controller, Intelligent flight battery, Googles battery, AC power adapter, FPV propellers, and other related cables and accessories. Its packaged for anyone interested in diving into the world of FPV flight. If you were to purchase these items individually from DJI it would cost you approximately $588.00 more to do so. In my opinion yes it is worth getting the combo package.

There are more accessory option for this model as discussed in more detail below.
