DJI may soon launch a new FPV (first-person-view) drone. The company is yet to announce the drone, but it has already appeared in an unboxing video. The video also revealed a new controller and FPV goggles along with the quadcopter.
The new video gives away almost everything about the device, including the design, features and accessories that can be used alongside.
The new drone is expected to be launched in March. The unboxing video was published on YouTube by “SpiderMonkey FPV”. The video reveals some front- and downward-facing cameras that will probably help the drone avoid obstacles. There’s also a sizable primary camera mounted on the drone’s shell. The video also showed the battery of the device, which is a tall rectangular brick.
The new controller revealed in the video has a gamepad-like design. It features grips for each hand and triggers at the back. This should allow for more straightforward navigation. The video also gives a glimpse of DJI’s detachable joysticks that slot inside each handle. The battery that fits into the back of the drone is much large. This should ensure more flight time for the drone. It can be a significant improvement as FPV drones are often used in racing that needs better flight times. Also included in the box is a portable power bank.
The changed design and a more familiar controller means that the new drone could be more user-friendly. It should make the new drone an exciting choice for beginners. The FPV drones are usually considered harder to manoeuvre as they are faster in the air and quite sensitive to control.
