FPV stands for first-person view. So, when it comes to flying an FPV drone, essentially this means that pilots of FPV drones see what the drone sees.

FPV and the more conventional drones look very similar in pretty much every perspective though. The more traditional drones also have onboard cameras or, if not, can be fitted with them if the pilot wants to fly FPV. And, vice versa, the FPV can have the camera disabled if they want to opt for more standard viewing. It just depends on your preference.

The latency of the FPV camera is caused by the camera processing all of the information from the image sensor. The faster the processing, the lower the latency.  Action cameras like the GoPro are processing highly detailed images (up to 4k) while also outputting live video to your FPV transmitter.

This is hard. Just fly, forward, up and down, left and right is really easy. Go to an open area and fly your drone without fear of crashing it, losing sight or signal, shooting yourself, some other stuff. It’s easy and a good hobby.

A drone is made of light composite materials which help reduce weight and increase its motion operation. The material strength allows drones to fly at extremely high altitudes. Many drones are packed with state-of-the-art technologies such as GPS and all.

FPV means you’re going to need a much bigger playground to properly experience it. I took it to a local reservoir on a hillside, thinking I would have endless space and was amazed at how quickly it shot from one side to the other. 

Don’t underestimate how quickly it can get around and try and fly it somewhere too small and enclosed. It either won’t be as fun to fly, or you’ll run the risk of plowing it into something solid and smashing it to bits. 

Therefore I and my friends went to open ground to fly our drones was a great experience flying with them and learning more about FPV.
Here are some of the photos and videos we captured.
