This is a somewhat of a complicated question and really depends on what you intend to use it for. Do I think you could learn to operate this device fairly easily and quickly? Yes. DJI has made these things so easy to use, almost anyone can do it. That is not to say that anyone can pick it up and start using it to its full potential right out of the box. But to operate it at a basic, yet fun level (get it up in the air, learn to navigate it, get some fun video footage, etc.) yeah, sure. Do I think this device is a good option for a 1st time drone user? Not at all. FPV is a fun and interesting way to fly but it locks you into using the goggles to see what the camera sees. For a beginner, I think you would better off starting with a more traditional set up with a phone attached to the radio controller for live video feed, or a controller with a built-in video screen so you can see what the camera sees and also look at the vehicle directly interchangeably/at will. You can connect a phone to the FPV controller, but it does not mount to the controller, so either you have someone holding it for you or you have to use one hand for the phone and one for the controller. Removing the goggles to look directly at the vehicle (for whatever reason - and there are many reasons you would want/need to look at it) is a pain. Yes, you can just slide them up on top of your head like you would sun glasses, but the back and forth is annoying. The FPV camera is not on a gimbal like the other DJI platforms. This makes the flight experience through the goggles more realistic. When you bank the vehicle, the camera tilts with the vehicle and the image/video you are capturing reflect that. The downside is the image in the goggles is not stabilized and is pretty rough. Through the goggles there's no smooth stabile imaging. Video captured by the vehicle is digitally stabilized via onboard software, so when you pull video off the vehicle SD card, it's beautifully stabilized - but not in the goggles or on any recording from the goggles (you can record from both the vehicle and the goggles feed). Other considerations: This vehicle is a high-end toy first and foremost. It certainly has a wide range of professional applications but in my limited experience and opinion (I've only been flying various UAV's for 7 years or so - mostly hobby stuff, and also some work-related videography and photography) most of those professional applications would be much better served by one of DJI's other options at the same price point. If you want to get into drone racing, this is a good platform. It's wicked fast - up to 60 mph in sport mode - and admittedly it is pretty sweet to do some high speed, low-level maneuvers and experience it in the goggles. So if that is what you are after, maybe this is exactly the right one for your. However, one of the Mavics or even the mini offer a really great package of intelligent flight options that the FPV does not: the ability to single out an object, person, animal, etc. and have the drone automatically follow it so you can focus on capturing the shots you want. There's a function that allows you to set specific target and have the drone circle it at a given range with the camera locked on the target point. You can easily program a flight plan with waypoints, elevations, etc. for the vehicle to autonomously follow. I would highly recommend going with one of their other platforms if you want an all-around drone that is packed with cool tech and features. If you ware looking for more of a racing drone, the FPV is a solid choice for a beginner.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. My first time. Learn to take off and land without the goggles or return to home feature. Get to know the drone by watching videos. Also when you first fly make sure there is not much wind when you land. Windy conditions make it hard for pinpoint landings.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I think it would be a great beginner set. Just take it slow and stay in N mode for a while until you feel comfortable with more speed
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I watched YouTube videos but it also comes with a simulator that you use the goggles and the controller but it takes hours of practice on regular mode. It’s definitely for beginners. Just takes a lot of practice
