If batman had a drone it would be this one!!
Very excited, just unboxed.
First impressions it's heavy. Good that you can charge everything up at once, so once that's complete in an hour or so, will go through a couple of firmware updates and hopefully not fly it 87 MPH straight into a tree!
Shame there is no carry case...
Update after first flight.
So it took 3.5 hours from unboxing to first flight due to firmware updates and battery charging. Also not helped by the fact the dji app would not activate the drone!
Perhaps this is because it's only just come out and the app on the play store is not yet fully up to date. So in order to get it activated you have to download the app APK from DJi China and use that!! Hopefully my passwords, account and phone are not all hacked by Chinese security services now. That seemed a bit dodgy but everything is working as it should do, and the drone activated - let's hope it stays that way.
I have previously owned a mini, and a Mavic air 2 so I'm ok with drones however this thing is completely different!
The controller is more like a playstation controller and the goggles battery hangs down and you have to put it in your pocket which is a bit weird.
Also there is no interaction with your phone, so to download the pictures and videos you have to plug it into your laptop. The goggles and drone both eat memory cards.
You have to manually take off, and I still don't know if it returns home when it looses signal!
After 16 mins of flying it returned home with 24 percent battery, however you can't control it when it returns , so I canceled the RTH and landed it myself which was much quicker.
I didn't get the DJI refresh as it costs a fortune and it's for wimps! So I was slightly worried about straying too far on my first go incase it disappeared.
So far it's good, and the battery is charging up for another go! Get one and have a play if you can!! Hope to do loop the loops soon!
Further update: now done 3 successful flights.
What's amazing is the drone battery recharges in about 30 mins so no need to buy more battery's unlike the Mavic or normal drones which take hours.
Also it seems like it's been rushed to release, as there is little info. About it really on the app. A lot of things say coming soon. Also the virtual fly app to practice the manual mode does not exist yet! At least not on android anyway. I'm sure these things will come out eventually and will be good, and by then I hope I haven't crashed it!!
