DJI has launched a new type of drone with an intuitive, immersive flight experience. The DJI FPV combines the first-person view and high-speed performance of racing drones, the cinematic camera sweep of traditional drones, the safety and transmission technology of DJI’s consumer drones, and an optional innovative single-handed motion controller that allows pilots to control the drone with just hand movements.
“DJI has been redefining what drones can do since our company began in 2006, and as we celebrate our 15-year anniversary this year, we honor that heritage of innovation by redefining what drone flight can be with the DJI FPV,” said Ferdinand Wolf, creative director, DJI Europe. “Right out of the box, the DJI FPV combines the best available technology for a hybrid drone like no other. It can fly like a racer, hover like a traditional drone, accelerate like a homebuilt project and stop faster than any of them. The DJI FPV lets the world experience the absolute thrill of immersive drone flight without being intimidated by the technology or spending hours building a system from scratch. We can’t wait for the world to try it.”
The DJI FPV ecosystem includes the drone, goggles, a dedicated remote controller, and a new intuitive motion controller option that steers the drone based on the movement of your hand. The drone features high-performance motors for incredible speeds, an intuitive user interface and the latest safety features for greater control. The new FPV system lets pilots see from the drone’s perspective in low-latency high definition, thanks to O3, the third iteration of DJI’s proprietary OcuSync technology. Its unmatched reliability and transmission range helps pilots capture ultra-smooth and stable 4K video at 60 fps with the assistance of RockSteady electronic image stabilisation.
Amateur and professional pilots alike can explore the skies with confidence, with the assistance of three distinct flight modes designed for all skill levels and to get pilots accustomed to the system. The DJI FPV’s advanced safety features include a new Emergency Brake and Hover feature to help make flying safer and less intimidating for new users, as well as DJI’s suite of safety solutions, including GPS-based geofencing to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards and to automatically prevent drones from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports. Underscoring DJI’s industry-leading commitment to safe and responsible drone use, the FPV also features DJI’s AirSense ADS-B receiver system to warn the drone pilot when airplanes or helicopters are nearby.
The DJI FPV is the first integrated FPV drone with that allows pilots from beginners to professionals to choose from multiple flight modes for to match their skill level.
The DJI FPV lets you see the world in a new way using the absolute latest in HD transmission technology. Pilots can see a crystal-clear, long-range, low-latency feed from the DJI FPV while wearing the DJI FPV Goggles V2. The new DJI FPV drone uses that same technology to bring a crystal-clear image to the goggles with ultra-low latency. Pilots can choose from several different viewing options including:
–High-Quality mode: See the world in 1440x810p in either 60 fps with a wider 142° Field of View (FOV), or 50 fps with 150° FOV. In this mode, latency is as low as ≤ 40 ms.
–Low-Latency mode: In this mode, pilots activate high frame rates for a more cinematic look but signal latency is decreased to ≤ 28 ms. Resolution is 1440×810p 120 fps with 142° FOV or 100 fps at 150° FOV.
The standard DJI FPV Combo includes the FPV drone, remote controller 2, FPV Goggles V2, all required cables and one battery for the retail price of £1,249/ from 1,349 EUR (dependent on VAT). The DJI FPV Fly More Kit is also available, which includes two additional Intelligent Flight Batteries and the dedicated charging hub for the retail price of £259/ from 279 EUR (dependent on VAT). The optional Motion Controller is sold separately and can be purchased for the price of £139/ from 149 EUR (dependent on VAT).
