In addition to looking pretty, this new kid in the FPV arena has a lot to offer. The DJI FPV essentially marries DJI’s expertise in making in integrated drone camera and first person view flying.

It offers 3 mode of flying: Normal, Sport and Manual. Normal for pilots with any skill level, or lack thereof. Sport for aggressive flying with some safety features found on the Normal mode and Manual mode that lets you take full control.

It is fast too. The DJI FPV can get from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2 seconds and has a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph).
