[Reviews] Vol.49 Aerial FPV drone "DJI FPV" appeared!Can you change the world of drones for racing!?[Part 1] | DRONE

The FPV drone "DJI FPV" that can be manipulated by wearing goggles from DJI appears!I will report the outline immediately.

This is amazing!DJI FPV

DJI FPV that can also be a game changer of FPV drone.First of all, I would like to review what is amazing.

Until now, FPV drones had to be assembled by themselves and goggles and proposal separately (although it is one of the pleasures ...), but the DJI FPV that I debuted this time is necessary for dedicated goggles and propos.All things are available, the aircraft is a stylish streamlined design completed type, and it looks like a FPV drone for lace, but 2.4GHz (delayed 28ms or less) is used for video transmission (the same as the previous DJI products).So you don't need a radio -related license.

The DJI FPV is finished in an excellent aircraft as an aerial aircraft.The camera is also equipped with a 1/2.3 -inch sensor (MAVIC 2 Zoom and mini 2), 4K/60p, and a video blur correction function, "Rocksteady," which is equipped with a gimbal that can operate the tilt (up and down).The video transmission is also compatible with low -delay and high -quality "DJI O3 (Ocusync 3.0)", so you can shoot safely and thrilling while checking the video in real time with a strong transmission of 6 km (catalog value).

Until now, the mainstream FPV drone was a race drone without flight stable sensor.While the speed and acceleration performance are excellent for racing, it is always a neck that the hurdle of maneuvering is high.However, DJI FPV is equipped with GNSS (GPS, etc.), positioning camera, infrared high sensor, etc., which stabilize flights, like the previous DJI products.

It is characterized by the fact that even users who cannot fly a race drone can control the aircraft like a Phantom or Mavic series (manual flight is also possible by switching).I'm glad that it is subject to the optional "DJI Care Refresh Support" (support like aircraft insurance that can be replaced with a new one by paying a certain amount in advance by paying a certain amount).

Equipped with three flight mode: N mode, which is close to DJI aerial photography, FPV drone M mode, and S mode, which is a hybrid of N and M.A simulator is also provided in the app for pre -practice.In addition, the separately sold stick type "DJI Motion Controller" supports intuitive pilot.

By properly choosing them, you can enjoy them according to your own pilot level.In addition, there is an emergency brake & hovering function, automatic return mode, and an obstacle detection sensor (although only in N mode, it reduces speed ...), so you can prepare for the risk.

Confirm the contents of the opening ceremony

Let's open the package at once.This time, in addition to the regular "DJI FPV Combo", we will also look at the "DJI FPV FLY MORE Kit" that contains the spare battery and charging hub sold separately, and the stick -type controller "DJI Motion Controller".

When I opened the main "DJI FPV Combo" package, the following were included.The arranged layout is as usual.This content seems to have a little cable.And a different color of the light green color!

"DJI FPV Fly More Kit" and "DJI Motion Controller" are also opened.

Aircraft各部チェック

cameraは4K60p対応＆1/2.3インチセンサーを搭載。画角は35mm換算で14.66mm（50/100 fpsで撮影する場合のみ）なので、Mavic 2 ZoomやDJI Mini 2とセンサーサイズは同じで画角がかなり広い…ということになります（ZoomやMini 2は83°、35mm換算で24mm）。飛行スピードが速いので広い画角は必須というところもありますね。

ちなみに、ジンバルも搭載されており、チルト（上下）方向にcameraを動かすことができますが、ロール方向のジンバルの動きはAircraftの傾きが10°以内の場合にデジタル処理となります（FPVドローンならではのロールが効いた撮影が可能！）。

プロペラはDJI初（？）の3枚タイプになっています。形状はよく見ると最近のPhantom 4シリーズやMavic 2シリーズのプロペラと似た形状（先端がカーブしている）。そして、回転方向が今までのDJIシリーズとは逆になっています（DJI FPVは前が外回り・後ろが内回り。PhantomやMavicは前が内回り・後ろが外回り）。これは、レース用ドローン特有のタイトなターンをしたときにAircraftが沈み込んでしまう減少を抑える効果などがあります。

Aircraft正面にはDJIではおなじみビジュアル型の障害物検知センサーが2つ搭載されています。万が一の保険に心強いセンサーです。

Aircraft前方下部には低空での位置情報を取得するポジショニングcameraと低空での地面までの距離を計測する赤外線センサーが搭載されています。黄色いセンサーのようなものはMavic 2 シリーズにも搭載されているLEDライトになります。

ポジショニングcameraは画像解析で位置情報を取得しているため光量が少ない環境では精度が落ちてしまいます。この光量の足りない地面をLEDが照らすことでポジショニングcameraの精度を向上させ安定した飛行ができます。

バッテリーはLiPo6セルとなります。1本で約20分の飛行が可能（カタログ値）。コネクタが出たタイプとなっており、Aircraftに差し込んだあとにコネクタを接続する必要があります。また、Aircraftを置いたときの"脚"にもなっているようです。

Proposal check

The propo is slightly larger than the Mavic 2 series, and it is thick.However, the impression I had was very easy to hold.The feeling of operating the removable stick is the same feeling (jagged feeling) as the Mavic 2 series and Phantom series.There are tilt dials, mode changes buttons, recording buttons, etc. on the top of the propo.

By the way, the DJI motion controller is designed like a control stick.Controls the direction by tilting or twisting the controller, and by pulling the trigger (trigger).It is an impression that it can be more intuitive than the conventional propo that controls the two sticks that have continued since the old radio control.The radio control of the car is now the mainstream of the handle + trigger type, and maybe one of the mainstream drones may be such a pilot type ...?

DJI FPV GOGGLES V2 check

Goggles use four detachable antennas.The battery is an external type, and it is possible to use it for a long time by replacing it.There is also a USB-type C terminal, but this is for mobile terminal connections such as smartphones, and power supply must be used.In addition, I wear glasses, but I could not wear goggles with glasses.I would like to ask for improvement here ...

summary

In 2012, when it was natural for multicopters (drones) to collect the necessary parts and make their own, the integrated DJI Phantom (first generation) with a propo and battery appeared, lowering the user's hurdle.The flight stability and the automatic return function using GPS have shocked.

DJI FPV is trying to change the world of race drones that were commonplace in the same way.It will make a flaw with a sense of immersive, a video expression as if it is flying, and a world with a high hurdle at once.

However, since the flight wearing goggles exceeds the scope of "constantly monitoring unmanned aircraft and the surroundings within the visual range", applications with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and assistant.It is necessary to fly while always monitoring the surroundings.

また、ゴーグルからの視界は前方以外は見えず、かつAircraft性能的に今までの空撮機よりも大幅にスピードが出ることから、安全管理や周辺の空間把握はより厳重にした上でのフライトを心がけてください。それらを踏まえ、次回以降、シミュレーターや実際のフライトについてもレポートをしたいと思います。お楽しみに！
