This morning it seems that DJI has capitulated to a series of leaks that came out on Facebook yesterday and were posted here on DroneXL with the help of fellow Dutchman Jasper E. The dronemaker sent out an official email announcing the launch of the all-new DJI FPV drone that will ‘Redefine Flying’ for many enthusiasts. The new DJI FPV Drone will be launched on March 2nd, 2021 at 9 am EST.

Official DJI FPV drone announcement follows series of leaks

It was hardly a secret that DJI was about to launch the all-new DJI FPV drone. Over the last weeks and even months various photos, videos, and other bits of information were leaked to the media. However, it was yesterday’s trove of information and confirmation of all the specs, that seemingly forced DJI to officially announce the launch of the DJI FPV drone on March 2nd, 2021 at 9 am EST this morning.

Together with the email and Twitter announcement, DJI launched a special teaser page with some video footage seemingly shot with the DJI FPV drone, where you can submit your email address to keep up to date on new DJI products.

We are very excited about the new DJI FPV drone. We expect that many drone hobbyists who are not into custom-building, soldering, and testing their own fpv drone, will be ready to buy the new DJI FPV drone to keep that first-person-view flying experience. We can’t wait to get our hands on one!

Let us know in the comments below what you think about the all-new DJI FPV drone. Do you think it will redefine drone flying as DJI claims?
