    They did it properly, DJI has some competition

      Nah, they’ll just copy and crush them like a bug 🐛

    If it can’t autonomously fly and track there’s no point…

    • @T10107

      August 14, 2025 at 4:39 pm

      100% agree! We’re moving to autonomous drone, so we can just be in the moment. I think they should go the commercial route like Skydio did.

      This can’t compete with DJI or HOVERAir at a high price point.

    i’d prefer a traditional controller for practical reasons. imagine sticking your arm out and hitting a fellow drone operator, or trying this while in a car or a picnic table bumping into stuff a d knocking over your drink.

    they could also improve the landing gear to be higher off the ground for more all terrain purposes, like landing on a beach or forest without a landing pad.

    i scroll further down the feed and see an embargo has been lifted. these are annoying seeing every tech reviewer cover the same thing at the same time. makes it look psychologically manipulative.

    • @Phrancis5

      August 14, 2025 at 6:28 pm

      the dji-style motion controller is likely aimed at the novice crowd and they’re likely too small/new to offer options

  5. @Kyokushin4

    August 14, 2025 at 10:23 am

    How the view through the goggle looks? Its like Meta Quest 3 VR when image is surrounding you, or its flat-screen like projection like in DJI or other FPV systems? Next question – how pass-through view look? how about resolution? I am curious it will be enough to fly without an observer.

  6. @ptaylor5014

    August 14, 2025 at 10:34 am

    Lots of questions, but here are some i would like to know:
    1 does it come with a conventional controller
    2 flight time
    3 a care refesh type package
    4 what happens if you attach a LED light for night flying, will it detect it and not take off!
    5 would the operator need a spotter as it is FPV?
    6 are those camera lens replaceable if they get damaged?
    7 how does it handle low light?

    • @simioni

      August 15, 2025 at 6:35 am

      1. They are working on one, and the drone can also fly autonomously without any controller, but they can’t comment on that yet
      2. Not officially confirmed so they can’t talk. Apparently about 20-30 minutes. There’ll be an extended battery if you are able to fly more than 250g.
      3. No word yet
      4. There is a built-in light on the bottom. Drones with unregistered extra payloads are a hot topic and may soon become illegal in some places (concerns about public safety and national security)
      5. This is not an FPV. The footage kinda looks like one, but the drone always flys forward and have obstacle avoidance. You can fly without the goggles too, using just VLOS. They are working on a second drone too, which will be smaller and a true FPV.
      6. currently NOT replaceable by the user. This is probably the major complaint of such an expensive drone. Apparently it was to cut weight, but they are investigating what can be done
      7. This is under NDA, because the software is still a very early beta. But it’s similar hardware from the X5, you can check that.

    Top speed?

  8. @CletaRodriguez-z9x

    August 14, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    I like the idea, but I’ll wait for real user feedback. If the stabilization and image quality hold up, this could be worth grabbing.

    neat steampunk goggles. navigation looks like dji’s motion joystick thing. would love to know more specs and the price

    Great video, motion sickness with goggles is normal. When I first got my Avata 2 and coming from traditional RC’s, I also got motion sickness the first couple of uses, you get use to it the trick is to sit down and don’t move your head which we want to habitually 😉

  14. @aeramor

    August 14, 2025 at 6:43 pm

    Instantly lost all interest when you said their features make it so you cant use your own product that you bought with your own money how you want to.

  15. @calbertbgreen7571

    August 14, 2025 at 7:26 pm

    It looks expensive.

  16. @Ray__E

    August 14, 2025 at 8:34 pm

    That payload detection is pretty cool. That pretty much stops nefarious people from using this drone to harm others

    great drone by capability by way of the 360, but the Goggles design and features it boasts are useless. Hope they quickly find means to back out of those screens on the Googles becuase it makes zero sense. My co-pilot will be bending and moving around to watch the screen as I enjoy the 360 scenery? That’s foolish… and a menu system outside is useful for what? when I am configuring? Also senseless. Rather put a wifi hotspot on the headset, and create a companion App that enables those around to tetter and effectively do the panning around. If they already don’t have a time span, I can tell you for sure, DJI will deliver something much more compelling without the fus and yet deliver on quality video if they don’t wake up from this product management mayhem.

    This seems similar to the DJI FPV which came out years ago.
