An unboxing video of the DJI FPV drone has been doing rounds on the internet the last day or so and we have shown just about everything. Let’s watch the video and discuss it before filming again.
The video first appeared on the Dominion Drones channel before being removed shortly thereafter. A few people managed to download the video and upload it again on YouTube, and we watched the video again.
If the video is removed from YouTube again, we will thoroughly review the video for those who read it without the video. It will only mention the things we have not seen or noticed before. So there may be some things we do not notice.
The video
The packaging stays in line with the rest of DJI’s drones, with a clean white box and the products’ images inside. The package also says that it is not for sale in the top right corner as it is only a demo unit. The box opens, with the FPV drone next to the FPV glasses V2.
DJI FPV drone
On the side of the drone is the word FPV written on it, with the standard DJI logo on the back. The two smaller cameras at the front correspond to two cameras at the bottom, meaning they will be used for obstacle avoidance and probably ActiveTrack, rather than FPV cameras. The drone’s bottom also has two infrared sensors and an LED light to help with landing in low light conditions.
FPV glasses
Next we look at the new glasses. It appears to have a joystick, a record button and another button at the top right, with foam that apparently feels much better than the V1. There are also two buttons on the left and a MicroSD card slot and USB-C charging port. The video also says that the glasses are much lighter, which is great to hear. There are also two adjusting buttons on the bottom of the glasses.
FPV Administrator
If we look at the controller, we can see that it is also full of buttons. It looks like it has the standard slider for sliders and record / photo. There is also a start / stop button, a three-way switch with arrows on it, a flight interrupt / back-to-home button, and a flight mode three-way switch.
Accessories
Next, we look at the three-blade screws, two sets of them. The charger for the drone’s batteries, goggles and controller. It also looks like having a small power bank to extend battery life in the field. The final container has the spectacle antennas and headband and a replacement canopy in a bright green color. This allows DJI FPV drones to be easily detected by the pilots and spectators in a race. The usual cables and paperwork are also in this box.
And this is where the video ends. Watch the video below while you still can.
