I guess, if you went for a cheaper 5", 4s, a cheaper Fsky transmitter, cheaper charger - perhaps you can get it down to 600 euro? I'll admit if you're in the US, it seems much better - also looks to be better in UK (but post brexit no way im order from there, too expensive) most fpv-ers are not mentioning this - buying a DJI FPV is very easy/satisfying by comparison It feels like really your best bet is to source from Banggood, and wait for it to arrive from China. you are lucky to find what you want in stock, and would have to use multiple vendors ( * ) btw here in the EU, its absolutely tedious trying to find rtf drones, transmitters, batteries etc. Ironically, whilst that means more will make the move from DJI FPV to other drones, its also makes the DJI FPV combo even better value. If DJI address, this then this will drop the price of getting others drones by nearly 250-300 euro.( ** ) My biggest disappointment so far, is the Remote Controller v2 being incompatible with the Air Unit. (sure, analog fpv is much cheaper and something like a whoop, bu that really is comparing apple n' oranges) Of course, traditional fpv-ers argue, you get a better drone, better repair option - and dji fans have thier opinions.īut I dont think either camp can really argue on price, they are pretty similar really. even 1800 including the (goddam expensive) extra batteries. So 1300 euro for the DJI FPV, is actually very reasonable. That is obviously excluding googles, since I will use the ones from the DJI FPV - so it be close to 1600 if you were buying everything. Sure the drones are cheaper (300-500 euro), but by the time I buy a drone, controller, batteries, charger - we are talking around 1000 euro! Ive been looking at something like a Diatone Roma F5 or Nazgual etc to supplement the DJI FPV. I think $80-100 would be reasonable for this tech, and still make DJI good money.Įxcluding the batteries, the DJI FPV is actually pretty reasonably priced. I agree the batteries are unfortunately crazy expensive. (and youtubers have all moved onto the next thing, the air2s and speculating on the mavic 3 ) Īnyway, we will see, fortunately the constant talk is dying down now - I suspect most are now just enjoying thier drones. 3rd party spares were inevitable, and it cost < $100 to fix an arm from DJI directly (without refresh). Joshua Bardwell's video now looks like an over-reaction 'you have to buy dji refresh, that $500'. Imho, the 'expensive crash' of the dji fpv has been overblown (even though I crashed mine!) - partly because the DIY fpv crowd wanted to shout they can fix theirs for $20. (and as Beyond said, they already have the additional gear, so buying the dji fpv is duplication as best) They enjoy the constant tinkering, upgrading, fixing of the drone - this is never going to be dji. the mini2/air2s are almost 'perfect'īut the build-your-own crowd are not going to be interested in DJI, they were/are not (and i doubt ever wil be) the target market. googles) this will always be a small fraction of the drone market,īut perhaps they feel like they have reached saturation in gps drones. Its not a replacement for anything, I think DJI are in this to potentially develop thier own sector, I can imagine a series of drones (fpv race, fpv acro, fpv pro, fpv mini). Its fantastic for what it is, and the buying -> flying experience is first rate. The DJI FPV, is a casual flyer for 'first person view' - thats what they marketed, thats what it is.
