And now for something completely different. Flying DJI FPV is completely epic. FPV means “First Person View”. You fly this drone with goggles on, so that you are immersed in the flying experience. Nothing to the left of me, nothing to the right, stuck in the middle with you.
We have to put our hand up here, and admit that our Founder, Alan Proto, was not much enamoured of the DJI FPV Drone when it was first released. But after watching some of our expert Pilots performing awesome drone-flying stunts with it, and flying it for himself off the deck of a yacht in Corfu, we have the enthusiasm of converts. We think this drone is amazing.
Come and try it for yourself, flying one of our (fully insured) DJI FPV Drones, with the expert support of one of our FPV-expert Drone Pilots.
Adrenaline Rush. Heart Pounding Excitement. Learning. Cracking Fun. This In a Day DJI FPV experience from PhantomFlightSchool offers it all.

The weather in the UK is not that bad, after all.
The day begins with a full run down of what every button and toggle is for, on the drone, on the transmitter, and on the goggles. The whole DJI FPV rig is built as expected to DJIs unbelievably high production standards. Actually, higher. But there are new toggles and switches. New functions and options. Good to know what they all do.
Next, your FPV-Expert Drone Pilot will take the FPV drone for a spin. With you wearing the goggles, to get the fully immersive experience of flying a 90mph drone in glorious HD.
Then it will be your turn to fly one of our DJI FPV drones, starting in Normal Mode, and then moving up to Sport Mode. Starting off far from the ground, and then gradually reducing the distances, and upping the adrenaline.
In the final part of the lesson, there is the option of flying again in Sport Mode, or switching to Manual (Mental) Mode. Always with our FPV-Expert pilot at your side to make sure all goes well.
If you are looking for something completely different, for yourself, or as a gift, to do with drones, you should seriously consider this. We love DJI FPV!
