Common DJI Drone Features
FPV - First Person View
FPV, or First-Person View, is a technology and experience commonly associated with DJI drones, though it’s not a feature in the traditional sense. Instead, FPV typically refers to the immersive and real-time video feed.
Most DJI drones are equipped with cameras that capture live video footage during flight. This video feed is transmitted in real-time to the remote controller or FPV goggles worn by the pilot, providing a first-person view of what the drone sees. This feature allows pilots to fly the drone as if they were onboard, enhancing the flying experience and enabling precise control.
