Despite making you look like an extra from Star Wars, the DJI goggles are adjustable to fit any shape of head and pupillary distance of the eyes. There are numerous third-party goggles on the market but few hold a candle to these.

Unlike other FPV drones on the market, the DJI FPV is equipped with a wide range of safety measures, including smart Return-to-Home (RTH), low battery warning, an auxiliary LED light and – crucially for a drone that is designed to be flown at speed around obstacles – forward and downward obstacle sensors that will bring the drone to a halt in an emergency. You may also need to remove the propellers (easy to do) lest they’re deformed in transit. However, where DJI’s roster of cinematic drones feature folding prop arms for easy transportation, this one’s arms are fixed and that means you’ll need a bag big enough to fit its 255×312×127mm dimensions.

I got my hands on the DJI FPV Combo bundle and make no mistake, this drone is a stonker.Ĭonstructed mostly out of advanced plastics and designed to some degree to accept customer replaceable parts like landing gear, top shell and camera gimbal, the DJI FPV feels weighty in the hand (at 795g, it’s a lot heavier than any custom FPV racer) but undeniably solid. It has also got enough clever safety features to make it suitable for newbies (this is included in T3's best drone for beginners guide). Well DJI’s gone totally off-piste here and created a fully-fledged, ready-to-fly 4K-quipped FPV racing drone, released in March 2021. For them, there’s nothing more exhilarating and immersive than flying a specialised drone at up to 120mph through and around disused, obstacle-strewn industrial estates and abandoned buildings while viewing the world rush by in real time through a pair of stereoscopic goggles. But there's also a growing throng of high-speed thrill seekers out there for whom that kind of relaxing pastime is simply not exciting enough. Most consumers are happy to just fly their drones around slowly while taking smooth cinematic video and high-resolution aerial stills, and there are plenty of options in T3's best drone guide that'll let them do exactly that.
