This is a simple video with no fancy editing or narrative and the footage is relatively poor quality. I uploaded it to show anyone who is nervous about flying the DJI FPV drone in acro or full manual mode for the first time not to worry.
This is from a standard professional drone operator's perspective. I have been flying the DJI Phantom, Inspire 1, Air 2 and Mini 2 drones commercially for 6 years. I have been flying FPV for about 7 flights in two weeks so go easy : )
I was feeling sick as I prepared to try some flips for the first time but watching a friend do it first made it that much easier. I can't afford to smash up another drone just yet (last one was attacked and knocked out of the sky by killer pigeons ; )
I hope this either helps you in your decision to actually buy the DJI FPV drone (or not) or it helps you to gain the courage to flip that switch to full manual.
I actually found it easier to fly in FULL manual than I did in partial manual where you have restrictions on how much roll you could give it. Just make sure you have had a ton of practise in a simulator before trying this.
Niggles apart with regards to this drone, it has reignited in me that love of flying for fun whilst getting my heart racing. I think this will be the start of something new and amazing.
My other drones will mostly be reserved for commercial and stock work whilst this baby will be for fun and extreme stock and commercial work : )
