DJI FPV Explorer Combo (Goggles Integra), FPV Drone with Camera for Immersive Flight Experience, 4K/60fps, 10km HD Low-Latency Video Transmission, Emergency Brake and Hover, FAA Remote ID Compliant

First Flight impressions from a long time Phantom and Mavic pilot of the FPV drone. I've been flying a Phantom since getting a Phantom 2 back in 2014. I've flown extreme environments on the open ocean and from over 10,000 feet at the caldron of a volcano. I've become quite comfortable with using those DJI drones. I've gained trust in the DJI flight software and capabilities of the drones. Because of that, I've been able to capture some beautiful moments in my travels that I could never have imagined without drone photography. I learned to fly manual on toy drones in the beginning, but, quickly adapted to DJI's GPS technology. After 3 batteries today I find the FPV to be a familiar performing DJI drone, however, it demands respect. Extremely fast even in "Normal" mode, the FPV is very responsive compared to any Phantom or Mavic. Care should be taken, if like myself, you've never used Goggles and losing sight of the drone before takeoff is a little disconcerting. Your seeing everything through the Goggles that the drone see's, a'la, First Person View. The Goggles transmission is so crystal clear it's like your using your own eyes and suddenly your wondering why you can't move your head to see the drone? In the air it shoots to 62 mph in "Sport" in a thought. No buildup or lag, it's a Ferrari compared to Phantoms and Mavics. Be respectful of that acceleration and speed. I would recommend getting it a 100 feet or more above the tallest thing you might hit and fly it around. Bank it, dive and climb. The Goggles are so crystal clear you literally feel like a bird in the sky. It's so good some banks and turns gave me a twinge of motion sickness. The illusion of flight is real! Flight time was about 12 minutes for me with each of 3 batteries. Of course, I was flying in "Sport" as fast as it would go untill the battery level got low. There is no 30% warning default like a Phantom or Mavic of low battery. Keep a close eye on your battery before the FPV goes RTH on you for low battery. Good news is that my 1st battery was fully charged in 30 minutes from 20% and ready to use after my third battery was used up. Goggles are very impressive! WoW! So clear and immersive. The Ocusync 3.0 is really good. No interference or latency at over 6000 feet from my position. Really impressive range in any direction. This drone is not a marathon runner like a Mavic Pro or Phantom 4 Pro 2.0, but, it's not because it would lose connection. At all times the transmission of video from the drone to the Goggles was perfect! I saw a buzzard in the air riding the current and I got close, it seemed like it was really next to me. I'm blown away by these FPV Goggles! I also got to see the the ADS system in operation as it alerted me a aircraft was approaching. It's frightening when you 1st see it in your Goggles! I stopped the drone, never saw the aircraft and kept the FPV low. I'm not sure how far away a aircraft has to be before it's triggered but I never saw or heard a plane. The system definitely works, just don't panic when it happens and put your FPV in "Normal" mode and keep your altitude low. I know that FPV drone flight is like a art form for FPV pilots. It takes hours and months of practice and flying to become competent and only a few can fly like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. However, that's the trap you must avoid if like myself, you've only flown Phantoms and Mavics. The DJI FPV drone is familiar in alot of ways, just don't start thinking it's the same. It's not. It's very quick and fast with extremely responsive movement. I know I'm going to be using the DJI Fpv simulator for some time before I begin entertaining thoughts of putting my FPV in manual mode. And when I do, I'm hoping to fly above a field of marshmallows. Finally, my first day flying the DJI FPV drone was Epic! I haven't felt this excited about a drone or as anxious about what would happen since the first time I flew my Phantom 2. It's capabilities as a video centric camera is limited only by the pilots imagination and skill. Just remember the immortal words of the Instructor to Maverick in Top Gun, "Don't let your Ego write checks that your A** can't cash!" (and if you do, I hope you got Care Refresh)

I have to tell you that this is an amazing drone. I love flying this everywhere. I have never had a problem with this drone. It flys great and the goggles work well. Will buy more in the future.

There are a million reviews on this drone on youtube. I was concerned about being able to use the goggles with my glasses. I am able to wear my computer glasses comfortably with these goggles and be able to see and enjoy the experience. They are small and in reality focus a few inches beyond my out-stretched fingertips at least plus-or-minus a foot. I can't fit those glasses into my Fat Shark goggles (which don't take the HDMI signals from the Nvidia or Dragon Touch K10 devices, so forget what you've seen on youtube about that). You will probably need an Apple product to download the DJI Fly App, which you must have to operate this drone. I bought a refurbished iPad Mini 4. If you have a slow internet on the day that you want to update the firmware, it's not going to happen. Just keep at it. On the maiden flight I went 650 meters out with no problems. Even in normal mode this is a very fast drone and a little too much throttle and it will lurch, but that's ok. Just go easy. One feature that I really like is the "H" that appears on the screen with an arrow to point you home. I just zeroed in on that until I saw my house and it was all good. Another thing that I really like is that it sets your home point once you have taken off. You don't have to worry about that. Another thing I REALLY like is not having to hold it and turn in a 360 degree circle to calibrate it. Basically once you've gone through the total pain of updating firmware, it's ready to take out and fly. Don't pull your goggles down until you've got it at a safe altitude. I didn't fly it in sport mode and will never fly it in "manual" mode. I'm looking forward to DJI's next incredible camera drone which I can operate with these goggles. In the meantime it's really nice to have this one.

I purchased this drone a couple of weeks ago. No issues with shipment. Great little drone for a beginner. I must emphasize that I am a complete beginner and so these are just my thoughts. It's so easy to use I had my kids flying it within 30 minutes. Tips/recommendations 1. Charge all your batteries prior to usage. 2. Firmware updates for Drone and Batteries. Try to do this at home prior to going out and flying cause this could cost you time and battery power. I initially tried to update the firmware and the update kept crashing on me. I had to reboot my iphone a couple of times to get the firmware properly loaded on the drone. It took approximately an hour to download an update. I found the process to be extremely frustrating. Also the intelligent batteries that you purchase will require firmware updates. It only took a minute to do it. 2. I'd recommend buying at least 2 more batteries. Flight time during cold temperatures (35 F and below) goes down to about 10 minutes flight time. Also once the batteries hit 30% it goes into RTH (Return To Home) Mode which I do not like. The drone will ascend and then you have to click on the Cancel option to cancel and fly back which is a little bit annoying. During warmer temperatures (75 F) flight time can go up to approximately 15 minutes. I wish they'd come up with a battery for this drone that would last about 30 minutes that would be awesome. 3. Training Download the DJI Virtual Flight app from the App store (Iphone). I thought the DJI Virtual Flight app was half way decent. It takes you through the motion of connecting the Goggles, Remote Controller and Iphone. You'll need an Iphone "Lightning to USB" Cable to connect the goggles to the Iphone. Managed to connect it to an Iphone 12. I started my flight training in "Normal" mode and there were a couple of things I had to get use to. Namely the angles at which you're flying at. Make sure you keep your head straight while flying otherwise your head will start spinning. I had to really focus on this while training. Train, train, train before you physically fly the drone. Once you're ready to physically fly pick a big open space and just fly the drone without the goggles, just to get use your surroundings. I had my kids fly it this way prior to putting the goggles on. Do some flight pattern training flying in a rectangle, square, S, circle etc and you should be good to go. I wish the DJI Virtual Flight app had some more training tips like how to fly around obstacles and more flight challenges etc. 4. Get a good case for storage. It becomes a bit of a pain to transport. I've been using a card board box. 5. Get micro SD cards for the goggles and the drone. 6. I also purchased DJI care refresh which cost about $212 with tax. So will see if I need it. 7. Incoming Aircraft Sensor - This works great. There were times I did'n't even see the aircraft and the sensor picked it up quite impressive.

Pros: Amazing video quality (in goggles and recorded) Incredible range Cool sensors, RTH, and Turtle Mode Great for recording action video (such as recording other race drones or sporting events) Cons: Completely proprietary (drone must use included goggles and transmitter) Transmitter cannot be used with anything else (even the DJI Air unit or Caddx Vista) Goggles can be used with DJI Air unit but will lose pairing with the FPV drone (can only pair one or the other) Not agile enough to be a competitive race drone Have to download an app on a mobile phone and digitally register/update all three components before the product will work BIGGEST ISSUE: DJI will not sell necessary parts to the public if it crashes!!! WHAT???!!! In summation, DJI considers this a race drone but if you are racing you will crash and need to replace parts. It is just part of the hobby, and this is true even if you aren’t racing. DJI won't sell necessary parts. I’ve been flying RC for over 25 years and the hobby shop owner who sold me my first plane said “Remember one thing. It’s not a matter of if you crash, it’s a matter of when. So I’ll see you soon.” I saw him again the next week. The point is that in any RC hobby you need to fix/modify/work on your own equipment. DJI robs you of that. Their only answer is that if you need a repair you must send in your drone. They will charge you $65 to assess the damage and then will charge you for parts, labor, and return shipping. They also will not give you estimates before you send it to them, even if you explain what needs to be replaced. I lost video while flying one day and cut the throttle. The drone dropped probably about 20 ft. I tried through several emails, chats, and phone conversations to convince them to sell me the parts I need (literally only need a small LED board and an arm cap that screws on underneath the motor (quad still flies fine) and they flat out refused to do so. In addition, it seems that the customer service reps really don't know anything about their product. DJI has developed some amazing technology for racers and hobbyists in the areas of digital video quality with low latency, but it isn’t worth supporting a company who dictates that we are not allowed to fix a product we paid for and own. This is more of an expensive toy and not a race drone.

This UAS is amazing. With 21 satellites the Return to Home (RTH) feature is phenomenal. I have had at minimum 21 satellites in range and from the position the drone launched and where it landed, using the RTH system, it deviated maybe 100mm. I only tested it 3x now. I've only flown a small drone pre-programmed using a Raspberry Pi, so I'm not an expert in manually flying drones, nor do I intend to be an FPV enthusiast. However, out of the box the DJI FPV is extremely user friendly. This is definitely not a "toy." It's designed for those who commit to safety guidelines, FAA regulations, and utilize an attention to detail to prevent operational failures. Please adhere to safety regulations based on your location. Based on the specs this thing should be registered with the FAA and it's your responsibility to get a TRUST certification to pilot this vehicle. These requirements are only for recreational use, so it gets more complicated when you intend to use this for other purposes. The DJI FPV drone is more than capable to perform tasks well beyond what it's expected from your average drone. With a spotter, the range I was able to achieve was 1800 meters at a vertical height of 320 meters from the point of origin. This is not a toy. If you're serious about piloting a drone or training to be a professional in the field, this product is something I'm starting with. The safety features are remarkable. They are definitely not flawless, so don't rely on the tech, you need to do your homework. The engineers, on the other hand, are geniuses. DJI is a quality manufacturer, the product arrived in excellent condition, and the condition of the drone is brand new. Amazon driver was professional and confirmed the delivery by instructing me to provide the security code. Before this Amazon order, I've never spent this amount of money on a product that I ordered, so I was a bit nervous. I'm not so concerned now, since everything worked out as planned. Amazing product and amazing service. The Amazon delivery people do not get enough credit. I wish I knew this person's name, because I would give him 10 stars out of 5. DJI is the way to go.

I have flown a DJI Phantom 4 many years ago. DJI is by far the best company when it comes to consumer drones. I have been flying other brands lately and was never satisfied. I sat on the fence about the FPV model mostly because of price. I have had a lot of my quads flyaway and took several hundred dollars with it. But I bit the bullet and bought the DJI FPV model a couple of days ago. I cannot tell you how much joy this thing has brought me. I live on a small farm in a larger farming community so there is plenty of room to explore. The signal penetration that this thing has is un·be·liev·a·ble. I can sit in a swing on my back porch, fly around my house and down the back fields with perfect picture in the goggles, no lag or breakup. I fly through the tree's, 3ft off the ground, slolam style. Still, perfect signal. I flew, this morning, through our fields and the neighbors fields, a little over a mile away. Picture perfect video. I only regret not buying this a year ago. 2 modes I recommend, for a beginner, is Normal and Sport. Normal is very beginner friendly. I zip through the trees great with that. Sport will get you to your destination quickly, at around 63mph. If you get close to something, like a limb you see at the last second, just let go of the controls and it will come to a dead stop, i.e. air brakes. A plus imo is the battery charge time. A battery lasts about 15-20 min, and charges in about 20 min. Thats the fastest I have ever seen. I do recommend getting the fly more kit as well. I will be ordering one this weekend, which basically is 2 extra batteries and a charging strip where you can charge 3 in turn. With this you can fly almost non stop. The goggles are digital and they are crystal clear. My first thought was it was like I am sitting in a movie theater. I never recommend much but if you are wanting to get into this sport then bite the bullet and do it. You can thank me later.

The only problem I have is that the software is so finicky on all of the connected devices, including the battery, that there's a reasonable chance for a false-negative when it comes to the drone deciding that the battery is a "non-DJI product" when it definitely is. Of course, it was a battery issue and so I just returned the extra battery and got another. No big deal, but it can happen pretty easily. Always have at least 3 batteries. Also if you own 3 batteries, the only charger that will work for 3 simultaneously is stupid-expensive, meaning you have to charge them one at a time. Some of the setup process brings up instructions in Chinese, which I don't read, but once you get past all of that and you register and get all of the boring stuff out of the way, it's a breeze!

I’ve crashed my DJI FPV into rocky sand three times, and it still flies like nothing happened. I expected at least a broken propeller, but even those only had minor scuffs. The durability of this drone is seriously impressive. It handles crashes better than I expected, and that gives me more confidence to push my limits while flying. If you're looking for a drone that can take a beating and keep going, this is it!

Calling it an FPV drone is a little misleading. It's heavy, expensive, and fragile for an FPV drone with FPV control settings. With that being said, there are normal and sport modes (apart from manual control) that are much safer to use, and that combined with the incredible range and image fidelity makes this drone amazing for exploration and videography purposes. Documentation on repairability is a little sparse at the moment but it's probably better to play it safe and get the $200 insurance package that DJI offers which comes with 2 replacements over a 1 year period. I'm seeing a few other reviews on here of people having technical difficulties with setting up the goggles or their iPhones, and I can verify that the software works with an iPhone 12 pro which is the phone that I am currently using. Setting up the software is a bit tricky and requires all the components to be charged and you have to connect to the goggles using the usb to usb c adapter provided. It does a signal conversion with the adapter itself. Additionally the goggles ask you for the language setting upon turning them on for the first time. DJI should probably do a better job with documenting the specific configuration steps, as I found the Quickstart guide to be confusing, which may have led to the some of the issues that people are seeing with the initial configuration. All in all, it's a bit of an experience to setup this drone but it's great for distance flying and exploration. If that's your thing or you already have sport FPVs and want to get something for longer flights--and don't mind the additional cost--this is a great pick.

Great Drone, Controller, and Headset however there could be more in the box. To charge everything at the same time you need to have a seperate usb c charger, the headset didn’t come with any spare transmitters which is surprising because they break very easily, the controller only came with 1 tiny Alan key, and it didn’t come charged. Also user manual is not sufficient. However it did come with spare joy sticks and propellers.

This is great!

Es el primer dron que eh comprado y ya superado mis expectativas. Tiene buenas funciones , la conectividad de las gafas y control es excelente y la calidad de los videos también es de calidad, no por nada es 4k 60 fps. Aunque solo lo eh usado en modo normal, ya me ha sorprendido bastante, solo hace falta más práctica para el modo sport y sobretodo en modo manual para surcar los cielos!
