>>> All it takes is a little move to turn a camera drone from a serene filming experience into a full–on thrill ride of a flyer; placing the camera on its nose makes DJI’s first–person–view drone the latter. Of course, the idea is you’ll be using the FPV to make a big move rather than a little one, so it’s a camera made to be viewed through goggles at speed: an 150–degree 4K viewpoint — broadcast at HD resolutions back to DJI’s own face setup at up to 120Hz — gives you a slick experience, essential in a world where low frame rates can cause motion sickness. Every early report says it’s an absolute blast to fly, and while we don’t see DJI troubling the dedicated racing drone market any time soon, this seems to be the best way for a beginner to get into the world of face–first flying.
