DJI has officially entered the lucrative FPV market. However, it`s not releasing an actual drone. Instead, the Chinese manufacturer, whose FCC filings for FPV components were unveiled last week, has introduced the DJI Digital FPV System. It contains DJI FPV Goggles, the DJI FPV Air Unit Transmission Module, which attaches to the DJI FPV Camera, and a DJI FPV Remote Controller (RC).
The benefits of flying a traditional FPV system, which include increased speed and maneuverability, have been hampered by a compromised analog signal that generates poor video quality. DJI is now disrupting the growing FPV racing market by offering up its low latency transmission and superior camera technologies to remote pilots. The company hopes to enhance the overall experience of FPV piloting by offering sharp, detailed, clear HD imagery coupled with 28ms low-latency video transmission and a long distance range of four kilometers (roughly two-and-a-half miles).
`As drone racing grows in popularity, FPV racers are looking for the next technology to keep up with their demands. The new DJI FPV System was designed using our vast experience creating aerial and ground transmission systems and offers technology truly unique to the market,´ said Ferdinand Wolf, DJI Europe´s Creative Director. `As the only digital video transmission solution on the market that performs at the same level as analog, even surpassing it in some aspects, we hope to set a new standard for digital FPV.´

The four integrated components offer up a variety of features that will enhance the FPV experience for racers and audience members, alike. The DJI FPV Camera boasts a 2.1 mm lens and can capture video at 1080p/60fps. The FPV Googles display video in HD resolution at a smooth 720p/120fps with a 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio. The D ...
