These aren’t VR goggles, meaning it doesn’t change what you see depending on how you turn your head, but they give you an undistracted view of the image the drone is transmitting, it’s like looking at a huge cinema screen. Using DJI Goggles v2 to fly the DJI FPV droneįirst of all, the flying experience is somewhat different when using goggles over the normal smartphone-screen controller that you would use with the Mavic drones. Image credit: DJIįlying an FPV drone manually is not easy at all and I will only touch the manual mode on the actual drone once I have mastered flying in the Virtual Flight app. ![]() The DJI Virtual Flight app allows you to learn flying the DJI FPV drone safely. You simply connect the goggles to the iPhone (the app is currently iOS only, unfortunately), and start up the goggles and the controller with the app, and then you can “fly” using the real controller, in all the different modes. DJI introduced the DJI Virtual Flight app (Apple App store link), which is essentially a computer game for your DJI goggles and remote controller to train flying using the Unreal engine, without actually having to crash your drone in real life. Well, as I mentioned, DJI thought about this … and made their FPV drone the perfect bridging drone of people coming from normal drone flying to FPV. You might think, that still doesn’t answer how you can learn flying in this mode? Right. Learn FPV flying with DJI Virtual Flight app FPV controls work very differently from normal drone controls. The “S” mode might sound familiar from Mavic drones as well, however in the DJI FPV drone it’s a hybrid mode of normal flying with some of the freedom of the manual FPV mode in terms of movements.Īnd then there’s the M mode – you should really only touch this if you know how to fly FPV drones! Otherwise you’re going to crash very quickly. The drone also has features like return-to-home, take-off and landing assistance, and front sensors to avoid collisions in N mode. This one can be set to the “normal” mode and you’ll have all the controls and behaviours you are used to from a Mavic drone. That’s not possible with other FPV drones. Believe me, I have no clue on how to fly an FPV drone, but I am confident that with this drone I can learn it.įirst of all, the DJI FPV drone can be flown like a normal drone as well. The DJI FPV drone seems to be the perfect entry-point for “normal” drone pilots like me into the FPV space. It turns out, DJI really thought about this. Now DJI’s FPV drone is not exactly lightweight though – it weights almost 800 grams or 1.75 pounds, which is partly because of a large battery that allows it to fly for up to 20 minutes but of course also bears the question – how can you learn how to fly this without destroying it almost immediately? An entry-level FPV drone with various flying modes Most FPV drones are self-built and often very lightweight (especially Cinewhoop drones), which makes even hard impacts often not as destructive as on heavier drones. Image credit: CineDįPV drones are notoriously hard to fly and take many, many hours to master, involving lots of crashes in the process. And yes, you can fly this drone only with goggles. Flying the DJI FPV drone is a quite different experience: FPV stands for first-person-view, and it’s a completely new design for DJI, with a very different purpose in mind: sports flying, at high speeds, with a completely freedom of movement in all axis, to make movements you haven’t seen before. If you’ve ever flown a drone, it’s most likely you flew a DJI Mavic or Phantom drone – DJI’s normal “mainstream” drones. Flying an FPV drone – very different from “mainstream” drones ![]() Here’s let’s focus on my hands-on first-look review of the device. ![]() In case you missed our post with all the technical details of the new DJI FPV drone, click here to read it.
