advanced camera settings - Record with Both, Auto Record on Takeoff = on those are the only settings. if they are not working, then only thing I can think of is an issue with your SD card. Ive been using both, auto record - since launch of the drone, and never had an issue with it.

its all down to 'clear line of sight'... 1km (3500ft) is easy in FCC if you have clear line of sight... start putting things in the way, like hillsides .. and it'll drop really fast, trees will disperse signal a bit too... though you'd have hoped at 120m, you'd have a view of drone. (outside FCC...

DJI Digital FPV system = Air Unit + DJI Goggles (optionally Controller v1) DJI Drone FPV system = DJI Drone+ DJI Googles + Controller v2 the are really not related, the only component that is the same are the Goggles. the signals (well firmware) are not compatible. just because systems are...

ouch....looks like FAA is going to get the CBOs to do thier dirty work... basically, the FAA insist you fly under CBO rules, but then they are going to 'recommend' the CBOs rules. and some of those 'recommendations' are pretty restrictive. I dont fly in the US (only EU) , but fear whatever...

yeah, im not worries about electronics, and indeed batteries I already keep out the sun. really only the motors concern me (a little bit) as they do get hot. of course, I can stop to let them cool down, but i was just surprised how much warmer they were getting when the ambient air temp...

Ive got the DJI FPV and then added a traditional 5" quad ;) if you are going to push it, and fly close quarters in manual .... then yeah, its probably not for you. dji care refresh is great, and the repair costs have been exaggerated BUT if you have a crash, you'll also be without it for...

sdcard - all i can say is for me, the sdcard slow error, happens pretty randomly... perhaps, if yours is always after a heavy power draw, for you its power related... but hard to know. perhaps try loops early on in flight when your battery still has lots of juice... also what power rating does...

k, thats going to be SD card slow... its a known and seemingly random issue, we all get it from time to time. https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=212878 I'd say I get it something like 1 in 4 or 5 flights... whats odd, is restarting recording midflight does not help. but I can...

the video file on the air unit will be unaffected by video transmission issues, as it just records directly from the camera. did you get any errors in the goggles? (slow sdcard error is a common one!) what type of sdcard are you using, you need to use a decent quality brand, rated with high...

I took the dji fpv drone out yesterday to do some tests.... and it was 35C (95f) , with a pretty strong (and hot!) wind... when I checked the motors they were pretty hot, as in you could barely keep your fingers on them. I didnt get any errors in the googles, and it was still flying fine...

something is wrrong with your setup :( check the setttings in the goggle, (I think under safety) there are two settings for altitude limit, and distance limit. altitude max is 500m , distance can be set to unlimited.

redid the dji fpv stock ant test flights for both 2.4 and 5.8ghz , so I can compare directly with the the digieyes v2. looking at this footage and the bitrate, I think the Digieyes are definitely better both in range and penetration. its more noticable on the 5.8ghz tests flights, as the stock...

there are a couple of companies that will make lenses from your prescription, they aren't cheap, but also arent that expensive (around $100 iirc) captain drone (youtube) review some very recently. Ive been considering this, as though generally I dont need corrective lens when using the...

ok, they arrived... and done some test flights.... will take me a few days to sort out the video though. also, Im think I might do the test flight again with the stock antenna, now (since firmware update) that the goggles with the dji fpv drone report bitrate/latency (a proxy for signal...

was this not addressed in the latest firmware update on the dji fpv drone side (1.0.2.0) ? i.e. you boot to dji fpv drone mode, then update firmware there, which gives option of 1.0.2.0 . they certainly did some tweaks in this area for this switching side.. but being dji , they dont say exactly...
