The DJI FPV features high-performance motors that can go 0 to 100kph in just 2 seconds. It can reach a max speed of 140kph. It has three flight modes namely Normal mode for novice pilots, Manual mode for intermediate pilots, and Sports mode that combines the safety features of Normal mode and manual control of Manual mode.

It also includes an Emergency Brake and a Hover feature that are both accessible in a single button press. The Return to Home feature allows the drone to fly back to its home point either manually or it flies out of range of the connection. It also warns pilots of any aircraft or helicopters in the area via the ADB-S.

You can experience the first-person FOV, you will use the DJI FPV Goggles V2. The FPV drone sends footage to the Goggles V2 from up to 10km max distance while using auto-switch dual frequencies. It runs at 50Mbps bitrate with anti-interference technologies. 

It has two viewing modes: the standard low-latency HD mode at a resolution of 1440 x810 with a 142-degree FoV or 50fps with 150-degree FoV. In Smooth Mode, the resolution is the same but you either get 120fps with 142-degree FoV or 100fps at 150-degree FoV with less than 28ms latency.

You can connect up to 8 Goggles V2 to one DJI FPV so more people can see what the pilot can see. Video modes include 4K/60fps at 120Mbps and 4x Slow Motion at 1080/120fps. Videos can be saved as an H.264 or HEVC. Videos are stabilized by the built-in gimbal and DJI RockSteade digital image stabilization.
