Hello from Texas
From 'hacking' my M2P into ATTI mode years ago, it's only natural that I've been highly FPV-Curious. . .
I present to you the DJI FPV.
Which I'm a total noob at. Look at how awesome this crappy speedy flying is;
I can't describe how similar it is to flying a Cessna
It's a rush at a cheap hourly cost, with performance numbers you can't achieve in economy GA
3,000 ft/min climbs | 0-60mph in 2 seconds
60 mph in Sport Mode which is an easy transition from the Mavic
I hit 72mph in that dive from 400' to inches above the ground
I can't recommend this experience enough!!!
The purchase was internally justified through needing the goggles for a tinywhoop anyway
It's a lot of money but it's perfect for my skill leve
Even in sport mode, there seems to be some degree of obstacle avoidance.
The goggles highlight yellow then red and beep when you're close to stuff
Then there's a simulator for the iPhone, iPad version doesn't work well even though it's the new Pro vs old iPhone X....
It has allowed me to simulate Manual Mode which I'm not sure I'll ever use on the DJI FPV.
But it will get me familiar and ready for when I build the tinywhoop then progress into a 5"
Anyway, if you're like me and the $1,600 DJI FPV + 2 batteries is not out of the question but certainly a stretch....
I say swing it if you can, the platform is so DJI and familiar feeling, yet so different. Fun, fast, responsive, agile, immersive..
It's a dream come true. Fighter jet pilot IRL simulator, screaming through the city park...
