There is definitely something to say a bout this 1st generation DJI FPV that sets it apart from others. It's the adrenaline rush. Having flown othe DJI products, the adrenaline from this is unlike others. If you ever felt like you wanted to be a jet pilot, this is the one for you. Enjoy the aerial shots attached.

My first FPV drone! Very beginner friendly based on the different modes. It’s does get crazy once you enter manual mode. Honestly, I love this thing.
The buying experience was easy thanks to Best Buy, I bought online then picked up in store within a few days!

Frustrating Experience with DJI FPV

Constant IMU Calibration Error
I recently purchased a DJI FPV Drone from Best Buy with great anticipation, hoping to unleash my creativity and explore the world of FPV flight. Regrettably, my excitement quickly turned into an infuriating ordeal due to an incessant IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) calibration error that rendered the drone completely inoperable.
Right from the moment I unboxed the drone, I encountered a persistent error message indicating that the IMU calibration had failed. Despite diligently following the troubleshooting steps outlined in the user manual and scouring numerous online forums for potential solutions, I found myself trapped in a frustrating loop of unsuccessful attempts. It soon became evident that this issue was not an isolated incident but rather a widespread problem plaguing this particular model.
The inability to successfully calibrate the IMU has effectively grounded my drone, preventing me from taking flight and capturing breathtaking aerial footage. This is an incredibly disheartening situation, especially considering the substantial investment required for a high-end drone like the DJI FPV. I had expected a product from a reputable brand like DJI to be reliable and free from such critical flaws.
While I fully intend to return this defective unit to Best Buy and request a replacement, this initial experience has left me with doubts about the overall quality and dependability of the DJI FPV Drone. I sincerely hope that the replacement unit will function flawlessly, but I cannot overlook the frustration and inconvenience caused by the persistent IMU calibration error in the first unit.
I will diligently update this review once I receive the replacement drone and have an opportunity to thoroughly test its performance. However, based on my current encounter, I would strongly advise potential buyers to exercise caution and conduct thorough research into the product's reliability before making a purchase.
It's worth noting that Best Buy's return policy has been accommodating, and their customer service representatives have been supportive throughout this ordeal. Their assistance has been a silver lining amidst this disappointing experience.

This is a good trainer, a bit aged but still a decent flyer. I get it to teach ppl FPV flight and to update my goggles. don't crash it as you will needt replace an arm but its a load of fun.

Ver fun and fast drone. The fpv is excellent. Only downside is that the batteries don’t last long.

Absolute best quad for newbies. Simple learn procedures! Goggles are top and can be used with other drones when moving to others. Controller is also excellent. I’d buy again without hesitation.

It took me a few days to get the hang of this thing, but a con. Of this thing is that you need a lot of batteries. So when you buy this in the future plan for buying some extra batteries. This is true for all drones not just this one
