DJI has just released their new DJI FPV drone which combines the first-person view and high-speed performance of racing drones, the cinematic camera sweep of traditional drones, the safety and transmission technology of DJI’s leading consumer drones.
Experience flying the DJI FPV in first-person!
The DJI FPV ecosystem includes the drone, goggles, a dedicated remote controller, and a motion controller option that steers the drone based on the movement of the user’s hand. The new FPV system lets pilots see from the drone’s perspective in low-latency high definition, thanks to O3, the third iteration of DJI’s proprietary OcuSync technology. This new drone is capable of capturing capture ultra-smooth and stable 4K video at 60 fps with the assistance of RockSteady electronic image stabilisation.
The DJI FPV comes with three distinct flight modes designed for all skill levels and to get pilots accustomed to the system. These include:
- Normal (N) Mode: During N mode operation, DJI FPV operates similar to other DJI drones, hovering in place with the use of GPS and/or visual positioning systems (VPS) on the bottom of the drone. The most approachable flight mode, N mode allows for obstacle detection sensors on the front to be activated to warn when obstacles are near and slow down. Pilots are tasked with manoeuvring the drone away from any detected
- Manual (M) Mode: Take full control over the drone with M mode which is designed for more experienced users. While in M mode, all sensors and hovering features are disabled.
- Sport (S) Mode: A new hybrid blend of M and N mode, the S mode offers some of the dynamic movement capabilities that come with M mode along with some of the key safety features of N mode. S mode is the middle step between the three modes and developed to give pilots more room to explore their skills as they get accustomed to the drone.
The drone also comes with advanced safety features include a new Emergency Brake and Hover feature to help make flying safer and less intimidating for new users, as well as DJI’s suite of safety solutions, including GPS-based geofencing to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards and to automatically prevent drones from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports. The FPV also features DJI’s AirSense ADS-B receiver system to warn the drone pilot when aeroplanes or helicopters are nearby.
Furthermore, pilots can see a crystal-clear, long-range, low-latency feed from the DJI FPV while wearing the DJI FPV Goggles V2. The DJI FPV offers a 10 km transmission range, auto-switching dual-frequencies, a high bitrate of 50 Mpbs, and state-of-the-art anti-interference methods to ensure a reliable feed. Pilots can choose from several different viewing options including:
- Standard low-latency HD mode: See the world in 1440x810p in either 60 fps with a wider 142° Field of View (FOV), or 50 fps with 150° FOV. In this mode, latency is as low as ≤ 40 ms.
- Smooth mode: In this mode, pilots activate high frame rates for a more cinematic look but signal latency is decreased to ≤ 28 ms. Resolution is 1440×810p 120 fps with 142° FOV or 100 fps at 150° FOV.
- Audience mode: Share the pilot’s perspective in audience mode, which connects up to eight additional Goggle sets to the pilot’s view so even onlookers can experience the flight.
The DJI FPV uses the latest version of the DJI Fly app which now includes detailed tutorials on how to operate the DJI FPV. The newly developed DJI Virtual Flight App is a free simulator app that familiarizes new pilots with drone flying movements in an easy, fun and risk-free environment. The simulator allows pilots to fly the DJI FPV drone in various settings using the dedicated controller. At the moment the simulator is only available for iOS devices with the Android version coming later.
DJI FPV is available for purchase now at DJI Malaysia Flagship store, authorized dealers, and DJI Malaysia’s official store on e-commerce platforms, such as and . The DJI FPV is available in a few options:
- Standard DJI FPV Combo: Comes with the FPV drone, remote controller 2, FPV Goggles V2, all required cables and one battery for the retail price of RM 5,299.
- DJI FPV Fly More Kit: Includes two additional Intelligent Flight Batteries and the dedicated charging hub for the retail price of RM 1,299.
- Optional Motion Controller: Retails for RM799.
