This is my take on the DJI FPV Drone. Quite a controversial drone - heavily advertised by an army of top tier influencers, too high expectations, and a quick wake-up for the "early adopters". I'm one of them as I ordered this (NOT SPONSORED) on the first day (actually before knowing any hard facts). I'm NOT DISAPPOINTED now - as so many are, many sent it back (or they crashed it too soon ;) To me, this is the first drone with REALLY GOOD video transmission. The immersion was never higher and the sensation of flight can be experienced as never before with a drone (I was about to write "in a drone" :) If you think about ordering this drone (and you're in EU) check my favorite shop in Germany - Globe Flight: https://bit.ly/3gmlDt5 I just saw they even have a "refurbished" 100€ off version there atm. ►Quick FACTS: Weight: 800gr Flighttime: 8-16mins (20mins will not happen :) Batteryweight: 270gr Video transmission: DUAL Band! (5.8 and/or 2.4GHz) dynamic power output of up to 1.4 watts in FCC mode (25/100mw in ce) What I love: VIDEO TRANSMISSION - like a dream! very smooth and sharp VERSATILITY medium speed, some acro but also stable and reliable to put in the air as a camera, change tilt-angle of the cam (for a faster chase or slow/hovering to inspect something... RELIABLE, CONFIDENT flying modes (RTH, battery management, H icon) EFFICIENT (consider the weight! - if you fly it right you get 15mins) What I hate: CE mode performance (which isn't bad if you consider it's only 25mw - FCC mode goes up to 1.4watts either 2.4 or 5.8 - where 2.4 would mean a much better range usually) 500m ALT limitation (understood but not good for the mountains) PROPWASH - on lower throttle flights it shakes quite a lot - ugly video FLIGHTMODE TRANSITION - from manual to N or S: the GPS position hold is much too aggressive in breaking DURABILITY is not so much an issue for a careful pilot like me...
