DJI launched the FPV, a hybrid drone that combines the first-person perspective, speed and agility of racing drones with the ease of use and integrated camera functionality of consumer drones.
The DJI FPV includes high-performance engines that can take you from standstill to 100 km / h in just 2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 140 km / h. The drone includes three flight modes; Normal mode, which is designed for novice pilots and allows the drone to hover in place and detect obstacles. Manual mode removes the support wheels and gives total control over the flight, with all sensors and hovering disabled. Finally, Sports mode maintains some of the security features of Normal mode and manual control of Manual mode.
Regardless of the mode you are in, the DJI FPV includes an Emergency Brake and Hover feature, which can be activated at any time, in any mode at the press of a button. The Return to Home feature allows the drone to return to its starting point manually or if the connection is lost. An ADB-S receiver will also alert pilots of any aircraft or helicopter in the vicinity.
The key element of DJI FPV is the DJI FPV Goggles V2. The drone can send images up to 10 km, with automatic switching of dual frequencies, bit rate of 50 Mbps and anti-interference technologies. Pilots will have two viewing modes; the standard low-latency HD mode has a resolution of 1440×810 at 60fps with 142 ° FoV or 50fps with 150 ° FoV. The latency in this mode is less than 40 ms. In Smooth mode, the resolution is the same, but you get 120fps with 142 ° FoV or 100fps with 150 ° FoV with less than 28 ms latency.
In addition, you can connect up to eight goggles so that more people can share the pilot’s vision.
The DJI FPV has a 4K / 60p 120Mbps camera mounted on a gimbal. You can also record in slow motion 4X at 1080 / 120p. Videos can be saved in H.264 or HEVC. The camera also offers DJI’s RockSteady digital image stabilization.
The DJI FPV costs $ 1299 and includes remote control 2, FPV Goggles V2, cables and a battery. DJI will also offer an autonomous motion controller, which allows the pilot to control the drone with manual movements, and costs $ 199. You can also get the DJI FPV Fly More kit, which includes two additional batteries and a charging hub for $ 299 .
