Typical idiots attempting low level aerobatics with no skill - this is no different than what we seen in the RC helicopter industry when aerobatics took over RC helicopters. This is a "Cash Cow" for DJI because when you impact the ground at 80-100+ mph in a dive, you look for the first trash can!

After the 2-3 replacements, possibly lol

With out a doubt, still a bit(?) expensive.. maybe a lot expensive! But I'm saving up anyway...

It’s actually the second cheapest drone I (will) own (not counting my tiny hawk 2 or $150 MM clone) and the only one that comes with goggles. The only one I own that’s cheaper is the Mini 2 ?‍

Well "if" I were to get one it would be the most expensive drone I would own! I only have a MA2 at this point.

I don’t mean to downplay the price, as it’s not pocket change by any stretch. After buying a M300/H20T the price of other drones doesn’t come as much of a shock anymore lol.

Found this on the DJI store in the FAQ section:

“DJI FPV comes with a user manual and comprehensive tutorials, which you can get from the Flight Academy in the DJI Fly app. DJI also developed the DJI Virtual Flight app [5], which lets users practice flying virtually before taking off in the real world. All you have to do is connect the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and remote controller to your mobile device with the Virtual Flight app and you’re ready to master FPV flight in a risk-free way.”

If we can get this to fly from inside the Car, and using the Googles follow the Air 2 from behind which by the way has been almost impossible at this point , its going to be a blast as that follow another drone footage is super fun to watch.,

Put them both up in a Thunderstorm and capture some Drone following Drone Lighting shots will be Epic.
This might be the Year .

I wouldn’t necessarily call them idiots. Accidents happen and pretending to be immune to them would make you more of one. I think the review was pretty honest actually and at least they laughed it off. The drone was absolutely destroyed, and it’s pretty pathetic how those cheap plastic arms held up. For the amount DJI is asking they could’ve used carbon fiber. Overall this thing is basically a mass consumer targeted expensive toy that really isn’t cut out for doing anything professional. Yes, it looks fun and all, although you’d probably be able to build something much faster, more repairable and learn something if you DIY.

Based on the video posted in this thread, they stated 5-6mins in m-mode at high speeds.

Sounds reasonable ... all depends on how heavy you are on the throttle.
