    Just updated DJI FPV, now says "Remote ID error" Did i just screw myself?

    Since you now have to connect to your phone, don't see how you could not get GPS coverage, unless a very unusual situation, like in a tunnel, or near the Arctic Circle or Antarctica. Just FYI, fr me now, after the last update, I absolutely must be connected to my phone to take off. I have never...

    Drone Noise Test: DJI Avata 2 vs Avata 1 vs DJI FPV Drone vs Mavic 3 Pro

    IMO all the FPV drones are too noisy AND the pitch is annoying. I say this even though I own the DJI FPV model. I realize this noise will not go away..... ever.... due to the high motor speeds and smaller props that are required for these fast handling FPV drones. That said, I would be...

    Hummm, so even if I get a cable and have my phone connected so there are no Remote ID errors the secondary goggles will still be less quality?

    Thanks, and I was afraid of that. What a bunch of BS from DJI. They literally put this drone out there, and are still selling it knowing it'd RID limits.

    Just updated DJI FPV, now says "Remote ID error" Did i just screw myself?

    Yes... and for whatever reason it does not matter which goggles are the primary, the "audience" or "copilot" goggles does not get nearly as good a signal. I swapped them back and forth binding, unbinding, swapping, re-binding to no avail. I will work on this again when I get a chance.... and...

    No Remote ID on FPV combo?

    Holy crap I just learned about this and mistakenly updated my older version.... now I think I just just screwed myself!

    Just updated DJI FPV, now says "Remote ID error" Did i just screw myself?

    Hello All, I had not updated my FPV model in forever..... for reasons just like this. The bird was flying perfectly and I bought a second set of goggles so I could have a "copilot" fly along with me and these goggles had the latest firmware, so I figured I should update my other equipment...

    Entry Level FPV Goggles

    I do know that some of the DJI drones other than the avata and fpv models do work with the DJI goggles however you have to use the motion controller which sucks in my opinion

    Entry Level FPV Goggles

    I am not aware of any goggles that work directly with the DJI channels, even if it is the same frequency. If I am mistaken I'm sure someone else will chime in, however if this is true I will be looking at those goggles as well.. especially if you can use the control sticks remote and not the (I...

    Avata going bye bye? (30% off sale?!)

    SO.... when you see DJI offering 30% off hasn't that, in the past, meant either a big change coming or getting discontinued? https://store.dji.com/product/dji-avata-no-rc-goggles?vid=135441&from=events-jan-sale-2024 IMO, they should have made one of the main feature of the Avata a follow me...

    Did DJI drop the price

    Don't know about the compatibilities of the various goggles/controllers... but yes, they have a special now for $999 for the Avata, one battery, MC2 control stick and Goggles. https://store.dji.com/product/dji-avata-no-rc-goggles?vid=135441&from=events-jan-sale-2024

    Any Issues Showing Up Consistently With This Bird?

    Comparable to FPV drones not regular drones. So yes the flight time for the Avata is considered very good. What you lose in flight time you gain in maneuverability and speed. Personally if the M3 or Mini 3 were goggles compatible that would be my choice. I do not need a racer but love the goggles.

    Beginner frustration - Tiny Hawk 2 Freestyle

    This is a "review" video, but points out how to unlock it and a few other features. Google search is your friend :-)

    No Remote ID on FPV combo?

    Yes, as I assumed, but the fact that DJI, knowing full well Remote ID was going to be required, released the FPV model without RID. The Air 2S released only one month later has Remote ID. Totally bogus, as if FPV flyers want to strap on an external RID device to a "high speed" FPV drone. DJI is...

    Leak of Mini 4-Z

    Well, my bubble just got burst on this one... I guess this may just be a fanciful wish by a drone enthusiast with a passion for CAD design: https://dronexl.co/2022/12/19/dji-mini-4-prototype-renderings-unofficial/
