#REVIEW DJI FPV DRONE MANUAL#

I fly in manual mode nearly 100% of the time and the wobbling and bobbling in turbulence from the sloppy, loose tune is the most objectionable problem the FPV drone still has. I'm dubious that these are going to help. It's like a doctor telling you You're going to die. But it does cover them in the event that something goes wrong. So their wording is inappropriate and unjustified. Everything that's done isn't unsafe by definition. Because they were able to label something as unsafe without specifically dealing with different situations tells me they're just saying it to cover themselves. And they say anything is unsafe as a blanket statement to cover themselves. They say things as a cut and paste to cover their own butts.īut like you said Those are just recommendations. Most governments can't find their hands if they were planted firmly up their rears. That organization is a government one it's a government one. I have a set of these MA props on the way they should be home by the time I am. On my last video the only damage was to two of the props. I used the term recommend, easa state they are considered unsafe. So unless someone much cleverer than I can root the Drone to provide in the field tuning via the goggles, as we can with the DJI Air Units on our regular FPV Quads, external enhancements will have to do. We are unable to improve the flight characteristics internally as DJI will not allow access to the PID Loops etc. But trust me, with the standard props the FPV drone performs like a pre 2015 ZMR clone in ACRO Mode. To be honest I doubt they will be worse than the DJI props currently installed. They arrived yesterday and today I’m back in hospital for palliative treatment for a degenerative condition, but I hope to test them before the week is out. Now after saying all of the above will I see a great improvement? I don’t know as I’ve yet to test them. These design differences came about by taking certain properties of the FPV drone such as its weight, mass, thrust and breaking features of the motors, etc. Also if you look at the design of the prop you’ll see there are some significant differences.

Master Airscrew use an industry standard polycarbonate material, noted for its strength and resistance to cracking. The flex of the material used is to large which will lead to weakness at the hub of the prop over time. And there is no supportive evidence to qualify this recommendation.Īnd when DJI cease production of the FPV Drone and its accessories, if they haven’t done already, will that mean you can’t fly the drone anymore if you don’t have the original props?Īnyone whom has the slightest understanding of propellers will be able to tell you that while the supplied propellers may be adequate for tootling around in Normal Mode, and maybe Sport Mode, they are totally unsuitable for ACRO. I make no apologies if anyone feels butt-hurt by my comments.Įven EASA dont recommend using 3rd party props though, they class that as unsafe. When was the last time you found DJI to be so receptive? At least when I give MA some feedback I know it will be recognised and possibly lead to a design tweak if needed. If the MA props don’t work out then it’s no big deal.

So whose sage advice do I follow? Some representative whom copies and pastes from a script in line with the company’s financial interests, or a company whom pioneered a lot of the science around propellers, and from whom I’ve received 1st rate service from for the last 20yrs? Like tyre manufacturers Master Airscrew have been making propellers, and only propellers, for more years than DJ has been in existence. That’s like a car manufacturer saying use our brand of tyres and nobody else’s. Because DJI will not grant access to the PID Loop and filters the FPV drone is a bit of a bus in ACRO mode, so when flying aggressively there is quite a bit of overshoot, hopefully these props will go some way to correcting this.Īs for DJI Stephen’s comments above, that’s ridiculous. I’m not expecting longer flight times but with their increased rigidity and aggressive pitch I’m hoping for greater stability and control. This improvement will probably not be noticed when flying in Normal or Sport mode, but I only fly in ACRO mode anyway. I have a couple of sets being delivered today, and honestly anything other than the props supplied with the drone will be an improvement.
