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.

Thanks for sharing your review of this drone with us. Drones are actually pretty neat and becoming more popular because they allow us to see and take pictures of things we may not normally be able to see with our own eyes. The immersive flight experience offered with this drone seems to be a major enhancement to traditional drones, as you aren’t just viewing the drone’s movements through it’s camera on a computer screen, but through the goggles you are wearing. This is definitely a unique product that I’m sure drone enthusiasts will enjoy.
Hello Rachel.
Yes you are correct. Camera drones are making it possible to video places we may not be able to get to using natural sources. Let me know if you have any questions concerning this product.
