    Scary one this evening!!

    I had something similar happen flying near my house. I went maybe 1000 feet across some trees and as soon as i dipped below the tree line in a field, i lost signal and saw RTH. I had my RTH set to 328 or something. When it regained signal in my goggles it was way up there heading back towards...

    Care refresh cost of broken arm only?

    Following up here on my case. They told me since I sent the battery in by itself, and DJI Care Refresh is tied to the drone serial, i have to pay full price for a new battery OR send my drone in as well (which is working fine) and pay $259 + use one of my 2 replacements with the plan. In a...

    DJI FPV Drone disintegrates

    ugh sorry man that was a bad one. Concerning that it didn’t disarm for you after the initial hit. I started mine up yesterday not realizing I still had the gimbal protector on. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to disarm and stop rotors until I took off and landed again. I’m wondering if...

    DJI FPV Opinions?

    Being brand new to the hobby and only having the DJI FPV to base my experience on, I struggle a little bit with the descriptors more seasoned quad pilots use to describe it. "Floaty", "Drifty", "Underpowered". "Sluggish" I'm not necessarily disagreeing on any of that, because I wouldn't know...

    DJI FPV Backpack?

    I went for this one but just realized itll be a little bit of a pain to always have to take the props on and off. Oh well - looks nice! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZL6HZJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    New FPV Pilot - DJI FPV

    I have 2 extras thankfully! Actually that IS the drone feed. Accidentally had EIS off. I didn't even think to pull the goggle feed. It has this. I do remember seeing myself inverted just like this for a second before it cut out. I think I likely crashed and the battery dislodged at the...

    DJI FPV Opinions?

    I crashed mine on the second flight and I'm worried that I will be too cautious now to fly it "properly" as an FPV drone. Luckily the quad survived unscathed even though it was an inverted 45m high dive and only the battery dislodged and is now reading as "Battery Communication Error" - I'm...

    Care refresh cost of broken arm only?

    I'm curious about this myself. Crashed yesterday and the found the drone intact, but the battery was dislodged and said "Battery Communication Error" in the goggles when I tried it again. Luckily I had 2 others to test the drone with and it was fine with them. So I reached out to DJI Care and...

    DJI FPV Opinions?

    I just got my DJI FPV on Friday and I've gone for 2 flights. I spent around 40 hours in the Velocidrone Simulator before I went on my flights and it is so much fun IRL. I did crash it my second flight trying to do an inverted yaw spin (which I pulled off no problem in the first flight). Just...

    New FPV Pilot - DJI FPV

    Hey Everyone! I'm Mike from Southern NJ. Just getting into FPV via the DJI FPV. I plan to go down the DIY rabbit hole in the coming months, but starting out with a prebuild. Took her out 2 times this past weekend after around 50 hours on velocidrone sim. First flight went awesome! Second...
