I’ve been really impressed by this little drone, so I wanted to give it a proper test - real world use, out in the field, and not just a studio review. I took it out trail running first in some damp weather, and then mountain biking to see how it actually performs in a range of scenarios.

Update: The WiFi receiver isn’t actually needed for a phone connection, it’s to fly with controllers and/or fpv goggles. So it can actually be even smaller than it is here, probably with some battery life improvements as well.

Because it’s so small, lightweight and easy to use, I can genuinely see myself taking this out a lot more to capture content - especially on runs, rides, and hikes when you want to easily capture yourself in the action.

Back in the van, I share my first impressions - what works well, what doesn’t, how it really performs, and a few things worth knowing before you buy.

It’s a great bit of kit, and I’m genuinely interested to see where DJI takes it next.
