Here's what real FPV pilots think of the DJI FPV Quad

yeah all right is it fun yet [Applause] hey we're at a secret fpv location right secret you might know where it is this is glenn he's an fpv pilot like a real fpv pilot and he's from here in atlanta and you've never flown this no i've never flown i've wanted to fly one but just not my thing to buy one and and try to fly it so so you'd rather crash i mean fly someone else i mean yeah fly it definitely i definitely rather fly they crash it excellent so what i've done is uh i've taken the tension out of the throttle stick just so you guys know uh let's turn it on have you heard this no start no all right ready [Music] do they have that for bl holly oh yeah right i think they do you can put this sound on a yeah do you know how to start a dji product he does all right so get up to a hover and it says normal mode right uh yep okay get up a little bit higher you ready to go on acro yeah so i'm gonna put it in man in manual on here now just to let you know if you panic here's the pause button right there you hit that and it'll break all right yeah does it say pause it says aircraft break yeah okay hit it one more time so i'm gonna put it in manual and then a thing will come up on the screen where you have to line the dots up with the sticks okay and then once you're in that then you're in acro all right now if you want to come out of acro just hit that pause button again okay oh god here we go do you see the things i'm in all right there there we go i've known him for 15 minutes and trust him completely [Music] now don't get crazy glenn what do you think i can't it's all right i like it you do it doesn't feel underpowered uh it just feels floaty yeah a bit floaty and if you come down and break it has a lot of prop wash sorry about that it's fun seeing a real fpv guy fly this you see the speedometer on there uh see that's the thing i don't look i'm oh you're close i'm so busy worrying about how to fly then yeah don't don't pay attention anything else i don't look at i don't yeah okay good yeah don't just just pay attention to the flying yeah this is weird is it weird yeah weird good or weird leaving you wanting more wanting less wanting less yeah i'm gonna land it glenn your thoughts it's too floaty yeah yeah it's just too floaty would you agree that this isn't a quad for a an fpv guy i mean yeah no it's not it is it definitely isn't and would you agree that this isn't this isn't someone's first uh drone either yeah that yeah it's not their first drones they should have something else before that not not only sim time but something before that before they get this because to learn on this you're not gonna enjoy because you're gonna worry about crashing it all the time um and it doesn't fly like an fpv drone should it's it's lacking something yeah and the propellers are plastic yeah no they're not regular they're not polycarbonate so yeah it's not it's not something to to learn on although it'll give you it'll give you some confidence because you can't right so somebody coming from the gps drone world would get one of these and maybe get a toe into the fpv world yeah because as long as you have some semblance of how to to fly a quadcopter i think that would be a good transition okay my original video this is what i said the dji fpv quad is a piece of i still think it's a piece of but i agree with all your points yeah i wouldn't get it now i thought about trading my obsidian for one of those or selling it and then getting one but now no no need for it there you go no need for it this is please state your name adam squintsfpv all right i'll put your logo right there there it is this is the motion controller now this does make the dji fpv fun it does so a quick lesson yep you hold this down to take off the record button is here so if you if you put your thumb here and accidentally hit that it'll stop the recording it's a dumb place to have a record button right there we where a right-handed person would i bet this was developed by a lefty you dji lefties this is the accelerator throttle okay and then you go there there'll be a little circle in there and so you where that's pointing that's where it'll go so if you need to go up point it up and then you'll get it but you can't roll everybody's saying in the last video dummy just turn it like this it doesn't do that all right i guess here we go yeah oh good luck oh god yeah yeah so turn it down there you go do you get it just stay after you turn uh well here the thing is you gotta turn your whole body yeah that's the thing you can tilt through you can tilt the wrist and then just bring it back a little bit gotcha okay i got it i i think it's more fun to turn the whole body myself but got it all right i've gotten it out now i try to go up you see a little circle yeah all right is it fun yet uh i don't think it would be something i would do every day it's a unique experience right yes you see how it almost just feels like if you were playing a wii video game it is very remote video gamey yeah when you tilt forward that that's the camera going gosh yeah i can see my props going up and down sideways so gimbal compensating for the yeah if you just sit in one space and rock it up and down you can see how that gimbal that one axis so the gimbal yep i see so that way you can keep your hand level and it still tilts forward to accelerate forward and if you go fast forward but if you want to go up you kind of just tilt it up tilt it up and hold the accelerator right and just keep it going if you want to go fast as soon as i let go you can just see it it stops immediately you having fun oh yeah a great view of the city up here yeah mercedes-benz is a couple blocks away so it's okay that's cool too the little home return spot yeah it's like augmented reality as an fpv guy is this something you would want in your kit or no probably not it's just a curiosity right yeah like i appreciate the experience of letting me fly but it's definitely not something that i would invest my money in but if you're a rich dude and you just have oh if i had a bunch of expendable cash yeah for sure orbit with the wand controller this is going to be interesting i don't know i don't i don't have control of i don't have control of yaw it's weird you have to go forward you can't do it you don't have the i think you can if you go forward and then it's just it'll bank for you but you have to get at speed i think don't hit anything trying i mean no i i'm just i'm like it's it's keeping it so the it's weird it's wanting to only yaw i can't roll with it so i can't incorporate both at the same time to be able to keep focused on the actual light pole i wonder if that's gonna do circles around it a setting maybe a firmware update if anybody knows let me know please you ready for sport yep okay now there's no obstacle avoidance on that it's a little faster now you noticing it and i think it will bank in sport mode atlanta that's what that was there you go now you can you can see that goes really fast yeah the props go up and down really quick and uh yeah see how fast you can go across the field i think it'll go 90 something that's it full is a little more fun now yeah now that i can actually travel somewhere quicker that i want to go look at yeah now try the orbit on the lights oh god i don't want to crash it i'm just going around in circles more than anything kind of looking at stuff that's kind of what it's almost fun for is to go scope out something yeah it's very clear yes if i take it out of sport mode do you feel confident going inside the stadium like underneath right here yeah no in the inside let me try it yep air brakes all right all right cool yeah okay and i'm gonna come around here and i'm gonna go show you what kind of penetration it is and i will be turning my whole body that was close wasn't it it's yeah it's hard to just punch out like if you're panicking all right i'm gonna oh god all right you put the circle where you want to go all right i'm inside and there's no breakup all right everybody plug in on them now no okay no this is good i'm inside and it's no problem underneath the stairs oh there's a helicopter you hear the helicopter yeah you're inside the building yeah it's it's okay because i'm undercover you hear that faa now there's a whole bunch of people here hi people i don't know what they're doing they're waving okay so they're cool with it i'm gonna i'm gonna turn around get away from the people go the other way let me know when the helicopter's gone oh that's what i like about that i like it i like the the penetration i think our cars are okay i'm out there yeah i'm on the other side the the entire building is that's one thing good about digital is it penetrates very well and we all want good penetration don't we it actually does help to turn your whole it's body there it is so your final thoughts on that it's fun but it's i don't know yeah it's weird it is weird it's very weird i can see how people could get used to it yeah but then when you get used to that then it kind of will ruin you for regular controller yeah so don't just get this without learning the controller i would definitely re learn the controller without a spring in it yes if you're going to learn yeah just go ahead and take that spring out automatically if your intention is to fly actual fpv and use this as a practice then yeah do that yeah awesome thanks man no problem thank you fly high fpv now has never flown the dji fpv quad and you're about to yeah i'm looking forward to it it's going to be pretty i think let's turn it on first you rub it this way oh baby what a big back end you've got mm-hmm so go ahead and take off if you will manual beginner mode i mean yeah what am i saying normal mode so there you go angle mode in normal mode i'm a noob again look no hands do you need to fly it around to get used to it or i mean it's just like a mavic right yeah okay i'll put it in manual now you have to line the thing up you see the sticks yeah the dots line that up and then you're free to crash oh lord [Music] [Laughter] what have i done [Laughter] it is it is very floaty and it's got a lot of prop wash so i can't follow him ken yeah that's all right come and get me what do you think the picture is incredible of course it's weird that it doesn't go down when i let off the stick uh it's it's oddly floaty did you feel confident to go inside nah i'm not i'm gonna break this thing right this section do it [Laughter] do it if you break it i don't have to fly it what's that burnout building though man this is crazy do you think this is a good first drone for someone uh it's too fragile for that i think that's good i'm glad you said that that's my concern is that it's gonna shatter into a billion pieces the first time i crash it i've been flying for uh four years in acro and i crash every day it's part of the process okay land land no i'm just kidding do you think this is for fpv people yes too but it's a toy it's more of a [Music] curiosity [Music] bye [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] is it recording battery from firmware version inconsistent flight safety at risk it is yeah and the video froze and now it's at 11 percent piece of 19 sorry 19 22 california somewhere 24 25 27. this is why dji says must have full battery before doing a firmware update it's going to be fun though once it updates oh boy you ready yeah yeah i don't think you're ready yeah i don't think i've ever flown feb before eighty percent all right eighty-one we there yet are we there yet are we there yet 81. how's the move stand by for fun any second here comes the fun where are we now oh warning zone nearby fly with caution oh we can fly firmware update successful
