      You can always buy Real Decent Quality Plug-in Phone Antennas. So 50-100$.
      15$ for goggle body.
      The Drone is 500$
      Get a Xbox Controller
      60$. If you have a spare drone controller or buy the Mother board for what you need and etc. you would have a very good controller no doubt.

Is this possible with DJI FPV via a combination of remote controller/phone, motion controller/remote controller, or a second remote controller?

    As a complete beginner just finding out FPV is a thing, and looking to give it a try, this was an informative video. When Ken is saying it will cost about $4-500 to build a custom drone, is that including the GoPro (or other high quality stabilized action cam)? If not that would put the price close to the DJI considering that one includes that camera as its flight camera as well (I understand it isn't as good as some of the latest GoPro's, but at a $200 difference maybe it is more comparable to a hero black 6 for example).

  • @schnufflerunerwunscht8872

    I want to start FPV, and really did a lot of research these last days. Building my own drone would even interest me as well, but starting from 0 there is not really an advantge imo. If I buy a drone, goggles, remote control and an action cam, I end up even more expensive than, the DJI FPV, when going for similar specs (e.g. long range, GPS, digital). Plus I don't have any other drone for steady 0-speed, or lowspeed shots. These I can do better with the DJI than with a selfbuilt one. Plus the way better safety and reliability of the DJI. The biggest downsides of the DJI are of course the fragile build and high repair costs, but you can avoid crashing by being very carefull and train a lot beforehand. The other thing are these crazy expensive batteries, but well they seem to be good at least, and maybe in the future there are third party batteries. So in the end, when you're starting from 0 this is a very good package if you ask me. What do you think?

    • @digwillhachi
      @digwillhachi Před 3 lety

      I agree, when you factor in time for learning it all I think this is a good starter package. Then if the controller and googles are compatible with homemade FPVs, maybe we could build them down the line.

You can probably add Lipos and a charger and still have money to spare. It all depends on what your objectives are.

For me this DJI Combo was and is just a way to get into the fpv. But in the future I am planning to build my own drone. What annoys me the most in DJI FPV, that because of it's costs and fragileness I am afraid to push it and thus, to progress. I will buy some cheap one for practice purposes only.

I was really into fpv drones and wanted to build one myself a while ago, but got a bit overwhelmed with way too much information and choices for long range drones, and then got myself Taranis controller and Velocidrone and that really did it for me.. I realized that if i build my own drone from scratch not only i will not be 100% sure if i did everything the right way I will also not be able to retrieve it if i get myself in hairy situation.. DJI FPV is perfect transition from GPS drones to FPV, it makes it super smooth, gives you confidence that your money is fairly safe with this one.. but then, that's just my opinion.. Been flying very cheap drones that didn't have any gps stabilization, had some less cheap stabilized drones, had few DJI drones, and now that I have my FPV drone I feel very at ease to use it in Normal and Sport mode, and slowly adjusting to completely different point of view. So yeah, I think DJI FPV is the way to go if you want to try FPV drones.. and considering the goggles you get with this set are able to be used with other drones sporting dji fpv camera system, you're already ahead.. and yeah, digital view is WAY better than analog.. that was one major thing I was worried about when I wanted to transition to FPV drones..

    Choosing a DJI FPV or a fully custom FPV drone is like buying a gaming PC versus building your own.
    Obviously, the custom will do a much better job but it requires tinkering, tons of learning, arguably better flight skills/more experience, and if you're like me, you'll say, "well, I could buy this part but THIS one is much better and just a little more expensive...". At the end of the day, I would have a monster at 2-3x the cost of the pre-built with all associated purist ideologies (PC Master Race, anyone?🤣)
    OR, I could fork out the cash to buy a RTF FPV that provides a perfectly decent experience with very few experience/time prerequisites.
    Personally, I just want to fly around with goggles and capture nice imagery at our land in the Adirondacks. I'm not going to be racing it through abandoned buildings and obstacle courses. DJI FPV is the obvious choice for a casual beginner.

    Why so much hate on the dji fpv? I think it's dope. I used to build drones, I'm over it. I just buy ones ready to fly. I never crash anyways. I think a better price comparison would include EVERYTHING the goggles, the controller, obstacle avoidance system, the GoPro.l, the charger, By the time you add all of that stuff, and the time spent putting it together, I think the dji fpv is a fine choice. Also why no comparison of the GoPro video vs the dji? I have a hard time believing the GoPro video is better without a gimbal

    Imho. there are only two real arguments for the DJI FPV:
    1) Convenience
    2) Safety
    Undoubtedly there is no easier way to get flying fpv. Clicking the order button does the job. And the safety features are infinitely superior. If theres a problem the drone will land itself hands free.
    But the other arguments I hear are not convincing.
    *Its not a freestlye quad, but a tool for cinematography*
    The footage I have seen doesnt seem to be that great honestly. I feel that a Gopro + Reelsteady actually provides better results. Also I think filmmakers would not risk some typical fpv shots with this expensive and fragile drone.
    *Its flight time is super long*
    It is clearly more efficient than your typical 5 inch,but comparing it to a less overpowered build is probably more fair. Also does the DJI actually achieve that flight time? There are people building purposely efficient quads and getting flight times double that of the DJI. Allthough personally, Id rather just have a 5inch with a lot of power and 10 Lipos for the price of one DJI pack :D
    *Its great for learning to fly*
    To some extent. Its worry-free , yes. But for most people the fun of flying fpv comes from progressing their skills and challenging themselves. I think you'll run into a barrier quite soon with the DJI since it wont survive many mishaps. So yeah its great for learning basic handling and cruising around (and some mild flippyfloppys), but most people can do that with a few days on the sim, for around 1280$ less.
    *A normal setup costs just as much*
    Yes, something like a prebuilt nazgul5 + dji goggles + transmitter + gopro will cost you a similarly painful amount of money. _However_ I believe that package is of far more value. Firstly the gopro is something that someone interested in filmmaking will likely already have/ is multi purpose. Second for people that stay in fpv, you have a lot more options. I.e building up a cinewhoop, or a longrange quad. Everything is compatible.
    *DJI is a great all in one package*
    Yes, but thats also a disadvantage as mentioned above. It works great together, but only together. The controller and Batterys will only work with the DJI Quad, so people that do want to get into freestyle/racing etc. will have to buy everything again.
    Now I dont really have an issue with the DJI FPV, but I think the marketing is a little problematic with the whole "future of FPV" thing. Its a sporty mavic, and it does that perfectly. But I am afraid that many will buy this with unrealistic expectations and end up disappointed. And youtube being full of sponsored influecers telling you it is the best thing ever doesnt help. But hats off to DJI's marketing team.

      @digwillhachi Před 3 lety

      your opinion probably comes from someone with experience in FPV, as a beginner in the area I would disagree with nearly all your points apart from the GoPro being a better cam, but you could probably stick a GoPro on the DJI anyway. I think this is a great first step in to the world of FPV and the safety button has saved me many times already when I would have destroyed my homemade FPV, further adding to its cost for repairs. This is a great beginner package IMO, and if the googles and controller are compatible with homemade FPVs I think it will encourage many people to maybe build their own down the line.

      @@digwillhachi We'll yes, its my opinion after I have gotten into fpv last year. But its not really relevant for you since you already got it. The rest of the comment is mostly just facts. I wouldnt reccomend strapping a gopro to it as that would likely mess up flight characteristics and diminish flight time. Freestyle quads are a lot more durable than you think. As of now I think nothing is compatible, but there is supposed to be an update that allows the goggles to be used with air units. ( that may have changed by now)
      Anyways welcome to fpv

  • @JasmineJu

    A HUGE aspect DIY drones cannot match is DJI's obstacle avoidance and automation. If you choose DIY, your experience will only be as good as your patience and skill level. I would always recommend going with DJI first. Once you reach the limits of that system, then you can consider manual drones. Remember, avoid the urge to impulse buy out of wishful thinking!

  • @Nine_883
    @Nine_883 Před 3 lety

    Build some and buy some. Bind and fly drones are getting better. In addition to that the bind and fly drones often come with a better tune than Betaflight defaults. That can be valuable information when trying to learn to tune other similar drones and make changes in Betaflight.
    If you really find the FPV drone that is meant for you then buy 2 of those bastards. Buy a BNF and then buy the parts to build the exact same drone. It's always good to have a parts drone to pick parts from when your daily driver malfunctions.
    That's not really an option with the DJI-FPV drone though so keep that in mind.

    Lets not undersell how much that custom quad cost.

    $500-650 will get you a custom built 5" with any parts you want.
    which you can field repair easily.
    200 is cheapest you can DIY with analog,
    300 digital
    350 BNF...

    • @joegee1699
      @joegee1699 Před 3 lety +1

      Another simple answer: if you're new to FPV (most DJI FPV customers), don't fly it like an idiot. Buy a cheap quad to train with if you're worried about crashing. There are PLENTY of features that will protect a newbie from accidentally crashing unless you put it in manual right off the bat with no experience.
      Buy the DJI FPV unless you think you can fly it like a fully custom acro quad through abandoned buildings. It's a great option if you have a lot of cash but not so much time and patience required to build your own, which isn't guaranteed to give you cheaper/better results.
