What is FPV and how does it work?
An FPV (First Person View) drone is a type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is equipped with a camera and a video transmitter, which provides a live video feed to the pilot in real-time.
The pilot wears FPV goggles that displays the video feed from the drone's camera, which allows them to navigate and control the drone as if they were in the cockpit.
A 4k action camera is also mounted to the front of the drone and this is used to capture the amazing images that we produce.
FPV Goggles
Goggles are a type of wearable technology that allows a drone pilot to see a live video feed from the drone's camera in real-time.
These goggles provide an immersive experience by displaying the video feed directly in front of the pilot's eyes, giving them the feeling of being in the cockpit of the drone.
When a pilot wears FPV drone goggles, they can see exactly what the drone's camera is seeing in real-time, allowing them to navigate the drone and capture footage more accurately.
Manual Control
We fly FPV in manual control, also known as Acro mode, ths is a flight mode available on some advanced drone models that provides complete manual control of the drone.
In Acro mode, the drone's flight stabilization systems are turned off, and the pilot has full control over the drone's movement and orientation.
This means that the pilot has to manually adjust the drone's throttle, pitch, roll, and yaw to maintain stability and control the drone's movement. Acro mode requires a high level of skill and precision from the pilot.
Safety Spotter
An FPV drone spotter is a person who assists the pilot of an FPV drone by keeping an eye on the drone and its surroundings during flight.
The spotter's role is to ensure that the pilot can safely operate the drone and avoid any potential obstacles or hazards.
During flight, the pilot wears FPV goggles that provide a live video feed from the drone's camera, which allows them to navigate and control the drone.
However, the pilot's view is limited to what the drone's camera can see, and they may not be able to see other objects or people in the drone's vicinity. This is where the spotter comes in.
