Read our full DJI Avata review for more details Best freestyle FPV drone Still, the standard bundles are probably easier to use than the DJI FPV and, on balance, we’d take the whoop-style frame over the collision sensors any day. To unleash the maximum speed mode and acrobatics you’ll need to add a stick-type remote controller, which will add to the budget. The Avata isn’t quite for everyone because FPV will always be a little special. We’d also have liked one of DJI’s custom bags in the Fly More kit as it’s a clumsy collection of bits to carry. In terms of flaws, the ports are inconvenient. It’s also worth thinking that, in value terms, the GoPro which piggy-backs on a self-build is another cost, as is the controller, so the initial price isn’t so bad. In other words, you can fly FPV – and capture amazing footage – without getting the soldering iron out. ![]() What is exciting though is how easy things are beyond that, with consumer safety features and stability as well as a great camera certainly better than most FPV drones with strapped-on GoPro Mini-like cameras that lack physical stabilization. Our best overall pick, the DJI Avata, handles all these in a balanced way, but the other options all have their merits. We look at all the options and we look for speed, manoeuvrability, safety, latency (the responsiveness of the controls), and crash resistance (you will crash, but these drones should be built to handle it). And still others are designed especially for it. Some include the option to make the effect more 'real' by leaning the camera with the turns. Most drones have some form of screen relaying the live video, so a kind of first-person view. FPV has always been popular with the hobby community, and even served as a spectator sport – everything from “Mini Air Shows” in 2015 to commercial TV events like Drone Racing League and Multi GP.īecause FPV pilots have also struck creative gold with one-shot flights which travel from the skies then through buildings, everyone wants in on FPV, and so it is no longer the preserve of self-building enthusiasts. By piloting in this way, FPV fliers learn to master speed and dart through narrow gaps. In fact cameras that record are still often just the best action cameras attached to the top. Many of the early drone enthusiasts built this way, placing a camera on the front of the ‘copter and piloting via a live view seen on video goggles.
