Kind of stuck between FPV and gimbal drones
Sorry in advance if my english is not very good, its not my native language.
I’ve been wanting to get more into drones lately, mostly FPV. The power and freedom you get with FPV just looks way more fun to me than normal camera drones. Fast flying, freestyle, building and fixing stuff yourself, all of that seems really interesting.
At the same time though, drones like the DJI Neo 2 make me think twice because the crash sensors and safety features actually seem really useful. Being able to fly around without constantly worrying about hitting something sounds nice, especially for casual flying or cinematic stuff.
The thing is, the Neo 2 just doesn’t really seem powerful enough for me. It feels more focused on being safe and easy to fly than actually exciting.
I already have a BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro, but it’s currently sitting on a bench because the MIPI cable broke, and I also broke the COB LED on it. So right now I’m not even flying it.
I also have more than 200 hours on simulators, but I still don’t really feel confident flying the Pavo properly in real life. Sim flying definitely helped, but real life still feels completely different to me.
And honestly, I do think fixing and building drones is part of the fun, but when you spend more time repairing than actually flying, it starts getting frustrating.
Now I’m kind of stuck between going deeper into FPV and repairing what I already have, or getting a gimbal drone with obstacle avoidance and less stress. I feel like FPV has all the excitement and performance, while gimbal drones are way more relaxing to fly.
What would you guys suggest?
