What’s Cool about DJI’s Latest Digital FPV System?

[ianwhite]

Yesterday, DJI launched its first FPV system which consists of 3 products:

1. DJI FPV Air Unit (with a VT and an FPV camera )
2. DJI FPV Remote Controller
3. DJI FPV Goggles

Even though it’s probably not what you expected—— a new Phantom 5 or a new Spark 2, this product is definitly a gamechanger for FPV enthusiasts!
Before DJI released this HD FPV, which is probably the smallest HD FPV unit that ever exists, many FPV pilots are soooo sick of the ( Mod Removed Langage )video qulity of most existing units in the market. This time, DJI has revolutionized the use of digital transmission technology to achieve the same low-latency rates as analog transmission while providing a stunning 720p display.


Footage comparison

You can simply record HD foortage onboard with an SD card and get a 1080P 60frs video.

In order for you guys to quickly understand what's cool about this DJI FPV system, I'll simply list the new features of it :

• Highly Integrated FPV System

What is special about DJI’s latest FPV system is that it is a highly integrated system. It differs from the traditional way of how FPV lovers purchase the components separately and assemble everything all by themselves, which is quite costly and time-consuming. Now DJI gives you a better solution with an HD FPV unit and less cost. I guess this is quite a user-friendly FPV unit for people who wants to get into FPV from zero and start to take it as a hobby. Not to mention that there’s only 2-3 digital image transmission brands available now in the market, however, they offer much lower video resolution than DJI FPV system (DJI FPV system supports up to 4km transmission distance measured at 720p at 120fps).

• Low Latency and Anti-Interference

The latency of DJI FPV system is as low as 28ms at 720P/120fps, while among other FPV unit in the market, the latency typically is around 50-100ms. This is quite a huge leap taken from DJI. And DJI is also using an unique two-way communication mechanism of digital video transmission technology help to reduce errors and interference, so this system is also superior in its anti-interference ability.

• Air Unit

1. Eight frequency channels

There are up to eight channels for the air unit depending on the region (FCC: eight, CE/SRRC: four, MIC: three).Each channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz. The public channel is 8, which will be first entered when the equipment is powered on. The channel can be changed manually to avoid interference from other devices. This allows you to race with your friends or use it as your racing drone in any FPV racing event.
2. High Resolution
The DJI FPV Air Unit supports H.264 video format which allows you to film 1080p at 60fps MP4, 720p at 60/120fps MP4. With the ability to shoot HD video, you can get a better quality footage even without a go pro attached on top of your aircraft.

• Goggles

In the past, DJI has actually dabbled with FPV drones with its FPV headset, DJI Goggles. And now its latest DJI FPV Goggles has almost full HD image transmission, and I guess this will lead DJI into the FPV market and genuinely take FPV racing into the mainstream.
DJI FPV goggles have smoother image quality and there’s no lag or smear between actions. The video frame rate can be adjusted between 60/120 fps.


There are two viewing modes for DJI FPV goggles that allows you to switch them under different scenarios.

• For Racing

If you are using it for racing drones, you can choose the low latency mode, which allows you to view the footage in 720p/120fps with a latency within 28ms.

• For shooting or better view

If you are using it for shooting, then you can choose the HD mode, videos will be displayed in 720p/60fps. In this mode, the lowest latency is 40ms.
And DJI FPV Goggles allows the users to playback locally saved videos directly through the googles.

• Remote Controller

1. Ultra-low latency between Air Unit and RC

The latency rate between the joysticks and the flight controller is only 7ms. This is currently the lowest latency rate on the market.
2. 4km control distance
DJI FPV RC supports 4km max transmission range, and the average range of FPV drones in the market are around 1 miles or so.

@ianwhite I don't mean to be rude , but this looks like an ad.
