Dji’s first-ever FPV drone has n’t been much of a secret for months. Unboxing video now shows off the new quadcopter, controller and FPV goggles.

A set of front- and downward-facing cameras are likely obstacle avoidance sensors, in addition to the large main camera mounted high in the drone’s shell.

The battery is a tall rectangular brick that plugs right into the back. It seems like the kit comes with both a charger and a portable power bank.

In December 2020, the Trump administration added DJI to a commerce blacklist, citing ties to the Chinese government. The filing accuses the company of enabling’wide-scale human rights abuses within China through abusive genetic collection and analysis or high-technology surveillance’.

The US Interior Department and the Department of justice are both reviewing the use of foreign-made drones. There are also potential security concerns with DJI drones.

Dji’s products continue to be available in the US as of this writing. Despite all that, DJI’s continues to be sold in the U.S..

The new controller design looks more gamepad-inspired than ever before. Dji’s now-familiar detachable joysticks that slot inside each handle handle handle.

There’s no footage of an actual flight yet, and this copy comes to us via spidermonkeyfpv instead. It seems like someone may have gotten in trouble.
