DJI FPV DRONE | First Flight in Acro/Manual Mode

*Disclaimer*
This flight was performed with a visual observer by the name of Nan McClain, whom I should have included in the video footage. If you post First Person View (FPV) videos on the internet, I encourage you to include your visual observer in the some the footage as proof of sufficient Visual Line of Sight (VLOS).
After spending 1.5 years in the Liftoff simulator, there was no reason not to take the leap of faith and try REAL FPV in acro/manual mode for the first time. My good friend Mike was so generous to lend me his DJI FPV to put to the test. After getting past the initial anxious nerves, I quickly understood how important my time in the simulator payed off because the drone flew like a champ, and no crashes on the first flight!

Never flew a drone before, started with the dji fpv in "n" mode first day I received it with no flight simulator. Haven't crashed yet thankfully. I'm about a week in and flying in "s"mode this drone is fantastic to learn on. I recently adjusted the throttle tension spring manual mode coming soon!

@jollytime0811 Жыл бұрын

I highly recommend getting into the simulator before you try manual mode. If you adjusted the throttle tension to remove the spring, be careful when you are descending in normal mode. If you leave the throttle below the 0 point, the drone will keep coming down and if you are not paying attention, could end up somewhere where you don't want it. However, removing that tension for manual mode is necessary as your fingers will be much more relaxed on the throttle and you won't have to fight that resistance constantly. Finger fatigue is a really thing!

Get a feel for manual mode in simulator and on your first flight keep the drone high away from obstacles. That way you have plenty room for error. Find yourself a big open field and you'll be just fine

Ive been flying manual mode couple of times without crashes, really fun but definitely need to focus a lot., Taking off in manual mode, usually with the goggles not over eyes before gaining enough altitude to not crasch into something nearby. Last time did terrible mistake and got up just in front of sun that was low, and lost all vision of the drone and by panic just crashed hard into my house wall. Hopefully getting it repaired, one engine broke and a bit of one arm broke :/

This is awesome buddy! Nice work - Are those the new FPV goggles that come with the avata or the old ones that come with the 1st gen DJI FPV? Also, which simulator did you spend you time in? I'm currently in Liftoff! Last question did you buy a fpv for yourself after this or are you just taking Mikes out all the time 😂

It flies better in manual mode, right? Once you fly in manual the other modes feel too restrictive.

Manual mode unlocks all movement restrictions and is most immersive, like your in pilots cockpit. Other modes can feel restricted after that but just depends on what kind of shot you want

I'm glad to see that you had such a good time it really does show. But I really do think you made much to do about nothing I've trained 5 year olds and up to fly the drone on day 1 with everything but manual. No simulator and everyone flies just fine I've recently trained my six-year-old granddaughter and she flies just fine. Now with her I did give her 2 flight sessions in the simulator and that's it. Do to the fact that she's extra silly. But she did so well I have now bought her a standard indoor outdoor drone that's analog. I've documented her learning curve. It really isn't that hard.

I did not understand yet how to move the Sticks to move Forward or backwards … with left stick I just managed to fly upwards and downwards

@jollytime0811 Жыл бұрын

Forward movement will be a combination of throttle (up and down on left stick) and pitch (up and down on right stick), and finding the right balance between two for control and your intended speed. I would recommend lowering your gimbal camera angle to around 15 degrees as a beginner. You'll be able to go slower and work on your control without having to overcompensate with stick inputs.

@jollytime0811 Жыл бұрын

You can get the "Liftoff" simulator from Steam. I'm not sure if it works with Air 2s controller, but it probably could work. I temporarily got an Xbox controller working, but it was not ideal flight physics. Once you know your going to commit, I would get an FPV controller as that's going to give you as close to real life experience as possible.
