About This Video

In this video I’m comparing two totally different worlds: cinematic DJI drones (like the Mavic 2 Pro) versus FPV race/cinematic quads. If you’re trying to figure out what to buy for 2021, I break it down in a simple way—what each drone type is actually good at, where it shines, and where it’ll annoy you. I go through the big pros first: DJI is the “grab it, fly it, get the shot” option with stabilized footage and a super smooth learning curve. FPV is the raw, skateboarding-soul option—fast, close, dynamic, and just way more immersive. Then I get into the trade-offs. FPV gives you that insane freedom and proximity, but it comes with a steeper learning curve, more setup, more crashing, more fixing, and generally more time invested before it looks cinematic. DJI drones are convenient and clean, but they can feel limited when you want real speed, tight gaps, and that flowing, human-like camera movement. My takeaway: if you want reliable aerial shots with minimal headache, go DJI. If you want the most cinematic, action-sports style movement and you’re willing to grind the skill, go FPV—or honestly, use both depending on the job.
