Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Dji are scammers. I'm waiting for replace of a new drone, which has an issues out of the box. I sent it on 25 of November. I had to get my drone back at 1-12 December, but still didn't. And dji support ignores me!!!!!
dumb controller
Hi i have the hubsan zino mini pro but my friend who is limited sighed is looking at this drone would this be any good or not thanks again keep up the good work
I like the music
Had one went straight the tree branches and came down in pieces
Do I need to be in cell tower ranfe or can I fly one of these in the middle of nowhere far from civilization?
Ghost Platoon, the novel, describes JDAM like smart mortars with HE warheads coupled with small POV drones strapped to the soldier's backs which act like surveillance and targeting system. Published in 2019 and an exceptional read. Worth my 8 bucks or whatever.
Great informative video thanks! PS Spotted your Flinn & Steel (or similar!) hammered wedding band… great choice! I went for titanium version.
Where is this majestic place?!
I imagine the person doing this review has barely even flown any fpv drones because of the fact it can't even really do what traditional quads can do.
🤦
❤️❤️
I'm here to watch the drove not your face
Good review.
No remote control it's a deal breaker for me Plus it's plastic
not a bad bottle of scotch mate.
I had a tiny whoop and I now want this but I'm kinda sceptical about the controller
I feel like I'm missing something. What's the point of goggles if there's only one camera on board? Wouldn't stereoscopic vision be much better for navigating tight spaces?
at 1:36 why are you afraid of your own drone??
Now I kinda want one, but I don’t have 1,500 dollars
I just don’t think I would like that controller at all. I fly freestyle and am used to a normal transmitter. Never tried DJI controller but no just looks wrong to me!
CNET, **Big issue** the motion controller may not charge with the battery pack per the manual, LIKE MINE. The only workaround, you’ll need to find an old Apple charging block (the small one) and a USB-A to USB-C cable only to charge it. Nothing else will work, trust me I know. This is a known issue. I spent hours trying to get mine to charge and almost sent it back per the warranty.
Please let people know this. Thank you Sir!
You can fly many drones, FPV, with a Drone Mask. I do.
I am not in the drone market, but just wondering, is there any drone the specializes in retrieval of downed drones? Like a search and rescue drone.
When he says DJI FPV he’s actually talking about the previous DJI model which was called the DJI FPV. Now he’s reviewing the DJI AVATA. He’s comparing dji Fpv while talking about avata. We all know Fpv means first person view ok Einstein. Top comment is extremely derpy
Do you have use the goggles to fly it? I assume so, as it doesn't look like there's a controller
18mins flying time are too short， i will certainly buy one if the flying time could be doubled
does this have same sensors ect
… as mini 3? seems these features were exspected as afar back as mini 2 last year; however seemingly; contrary to popular belief ….will indeed run straight into the ground and its hyped ground sensors do not prohibit this from doing just that.
what would be a middle ground of all 3?
Could you add a tracking device on this drone, seeing that they are not cheap.
This is a great idea.
who's the genius who made a 30 fps video for a 60 fps product??? lose the scotch bottle you alcoholic.
One serious question… Does it take pictures?
Needs a locator button that emits sound.
Your voice doesn’t match up with your lips
Had the DJI FPV great bit of kit but a bit bulky to carry around and issue of having a spotter in the UK which I personally think is BS!🙄 in the end sold it and my mini 2 and got the Mavic 3! This does look good though as I miss the FPV perspective and fun!
$1169??!!?? F that.
Nice but can't afford it
pay the troll
