The drone is rated for acceleration at about 2 seconds to go from 0 to 62MPH. It has forward and downward obstacle avoidance, but this thing will jump into an obstacle to the side or rear faster than most people can react. Be sure to be gentle on the sticks when you are close to the drone yourself. The performance is not limited to just a top speed in straight flight, the power of the DJI FPV is evident in smaller operations as well. For all of you seasoned Mavic pilots, that’s about twice as fast as you are used to. The DJI FPV cannot go that fast, rated for 87MPH.

While the FAA limits Part 107 operations to under 100MPH, the fastest racing drones can clock over 170MPH. The racing scene is filled with machines that travel much faster than the average camera drone. This drone is exhilarating, like many racing drones are, but you can also let go of the stick and this machine will lock onto as solid of a hover as DJI produces in a consumer drone today.īottom line, the DJI FPV is a drone for pilots, the thrill of flight packed into a stable drone that happens to shoot great video. In the vertical, we weren’t timing it, but we got from the ground up to 400 feet in just a few seconds.
DJI FPV SYSTEM FULL
Full tilt, the FPV soars at up to 87MPH, that’s about double what the best Mavic drones can do. The DJI FPV is an aggressive machine, even in its slowest flight mode, you’ll want to be gentle on the sticks in tight spots. Now that we’ve scared you off, please come back, this drone is fantastic! It’s not really made for the race track, and it’s not really a camera drone, so what is it? Well, it’s possibly the most fun you’ll have with a flying machine today. The most fun you’ll have with a flying machine today!


On the other end, the one-axis stabilized camera gimbal, with electronic image stabilization, is far smoother than we had expected, but still does not maintain a silky-smooth video experience like your higher-end Mavic drones.
DJI FPV SYSTEM PRO
On one end, we do not recommend taking this drone to a pro drone race, it’s too heavy and not agile enough to keep up with most racing machines. You get the best of both worlds, but there are compromises. The DJI FPV is a fun blend of a camera drone and a racing drone.
