The DJI FPV has a 1/2.3-inch sensor, the same size as found in the majority of DJI’s Mavic drones, and can shoot 4K video at 50/60 fps, but lacks some of the video features found in those drones. While the DJI FPV shouldn’t be your first choice if you’re looking for a drone to shoot video - it only has a two-axis gimbal, and the drone’s rotors appear in the frame - it still delivers some impressive footage. However, when I flew the FPV drone in broad, sweeping curves high above the ground, that queasiness turned into elation as it felt like I was soaring like a bird. Because the FPV drone is so nimble, it’s easy to make fast, sharp movements in different directions, which, for those who have inner ear issues, will induce nausea within minutes. You couldn’t drag me onto a roller coaster). The view from the FPV drone’s camera to the goggles was so immersive that I nearly threw up.

Normal mode is closest to other DJI Mavic drones, and lets you zip along at a max speed of about 31 miles per hour.Ī word of caution to anyone who gets motion sick (like me): If you make a lot of sudden movements, you’re going to feel a little nauseous. I’m here to tell you: this drone is FAST.ĭJI’s FPV drone has three flight modes: Normal, Sport, and Manual. I didn’t let the drone stray too far from me - its furthest distance was about a quarter-mile - but never experienced any lags, pauses, or dropouts in the video streaming to the goggles. In High-Quality Mode, the resolution stays the same, but the frame rate drops to 60fps, and the lag increases to 40ms. In low-latency mode, they can stream video at 810p/120fps with about a 28ms lag time. Small dials on the bottom of the goggles let you fine-tune their focus. The image produced by the FPV goggles was incredibly immersive, taking up nearly all my field of view. As a result, light seeped in, though it wasn’t overly distracting during flights. The goggles were comfortable to wear, though they didn’t form a great seal around the sides of my head. It would be smart if there were a holder on the goggles’ strap, though. Fortunately, the power cord is long enough so that you can stuff the battery in a jacket pocket. While it shaves some weight off the goggles, this approach makes things a little awkward. The FPV goggles don’t have their own internal battery, so to use them, you have to connect a small battery via a proprietary USB-C adapter. On the other side of the goggles are two other buttons, a microSD card slot, and a USB-C port. As with the controller, it took a bit of practice to remember where the buttons were and what they did, but I got the hang of things after a few flights. On the upper right side is a Record button, a Back button, and a small directional stick. The gray and black goggles are very angular, and have four screw-in antennas, one on each corner. When you put them on, the FPV goggles make you look like a cross between Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs and the dude from Hellraiser.
