![]() ![]() In fact, it’s arguably safer because the FPV has frontal collision detection while the Mini 2 has no obstacle sensors at all. In Normal Mode, flying the FPV is pretty much a no brainer, and just about as easy as flying the 250g Mini 2. The difference here is a lot more buttons and switches on the top trigger area where you can switch flight modes as well as activate the emergency stop and return to home functions. Now, I only managed to get some hands-on time flying the FPV with the standard controller, which has the same size and feel of the Mini 2. You have to use the Goggles V2 if you want to see live drone footage while flying. Unlike other drones, the FPV doesn’t support live video on your smartphone, and the DJI Fly app is only used to pair and setup the drone. However, resolution on the Goggles V2 is set to 810p. Compared to OccuSync 2.0, O3 has a same maximum transmission range of 10km, but has improved bitrates from 40Mbps to 50Mbps, and massively decreased latency to just 28ms (or 40ms in HQ mode). ![]() The FPV features OccuSync 3.0, which DJI has shortened to just O3. With the FPV drone, DJI is also releasing updated controllers, including a brand new single-handed Motion Controller as well as FPV Goggles V2. Yes, you’ll have to register the drone with CAAS before flying it, but you won’t need to attend any courses to get a license yourself, so it’s essentially paying $15 for a sticker, and you’re good to go. The battery alone weighs 295g, which accounts for more than a third of the total take-off weight (795g) of the drone. According to DJI, the FPV is rated for up to 20 minutes of flight time and 16 minutes of hover time. The FPV also features a pretty large 22.2V, 2,000mAh battery. The camera is mounted on a single-axis (tilt) gimbal with additional RockSteady EIC (electronic image stabilisation). It’s capable of 120 Mbps max bitrate recording with H.265/HEVC support. For one, it has a built-in 4K/60fps camera featuring a 1 / 2.3-inch 12MP sensor and 150-degree fov lens. In Manual mode, the FPV can go from 0-100km/h in 2 seconds, so make sure you don’t blink when you accelerate.īecause DJI is catering the FPV for a diverse user group, the drone does come with other creature comforts not usually found on other dedicated FPV drones. Here, all safety is turned off and maximum flight speeds go up to at 39m/s (that’s 140km/h) with no ascent and descent limits. If you’re really confident of your abilities, you can switch the FPV to full Manual Mode. Max speeds are also increased to 27m/s (flight), 15m/s (ascent), and 10m/s (descent). In Sport Mode, forward obstacle detection is disabled, but the downward sensors will still help with hovering and take off/landings. Normal mode is also the only mode where the obstacle detection sensors will alert pilots of objects and automatically slow the drone down if it gets too close. In Normal Mode, max speeds are limited to 15m/s for flight, 8m/s for ascent, and 5m/s for descent. It even has an emergency brake and hover button that DJI claims can stop the drone within 2 seconds at speeds of up to 72km/h.Īs a hybrid drone, the DJI FPV comes with three operational modes: Normal, Sport, and Manual. In fact, DJI fitted the FPV with forward-facing collision detection sensors as well as downward-facing vision and TOF (time-of-flight) sensors. It is essentially a hybrid drone that is powerful and manoeuvrable enough to be flown like an FPV drone, but can also operate as a standard video recording drone just like the Mavic series. ![]() And therefore, the DJI FPV isn’t just an FPV drone. Now, if at this point, you’re thinking to yourself if there’s even an active drone racing scene in Singapore to support such a niche product, apparently, DJI thought of it too. There have been speculation of DJI entering the drone racing scene for a couple of months now and you’ve probably seen teasers of their very first FPV (first-person view) drone, aptly named DJI FPV.
