FPV Knowledge
You want to learn about FPV and what it is? Well you have come to the right place. Read on if you a professional or even hobbyist FPV pilot...
What is fpv?
FPV, or First-Person View, is a way of flying drones where the pilot sees exactly what the drone sees—in real time. Instead of watching the drone from the ground, you wear special goggles (or use a screen) that show a live video feed from a small camera mounted on the drone. This makes it feel like you're actually sitting inside the drone as it flies. FPV is popular in drone racing, freestyle flying, and aerial cinematography because it gives precise control, immersive experiences, and exciting views. The setup usually includes a camera, video transmitter (VTX), goggles or a monitor, and a receiver, all working together to stream that live video feed back to the pilot almost instantly ( if analog. If digital, can take a little longer )
What is an FPV drone?
An FPV drone (First-Person View drone) is a type of drone equipped with a forward-facing camera that streams live video back to the pilot, allowing them to fly from the drone’s perspective—as if they were inside it. This video is usually viewed through FPV goggles or a screen, giving a real-time, immersive flight experience.
Unlike standard consumer drones (like camera drones that focus on smooth, automated flight), FPV drones are usually manually flown using a radio controller, offering full control over speed, angle, and direction. They are popular for freestyle flying, drone racing, and cinematic FPV footage.
FPV drones typically include:
-
A lightweight carbon fibre airframe
-
Brushless motors
-
An FPV camera
-
A video transmitter (VTX)
-
A flight controller
-
An ESC ( electronic speed controller )
-
A radio receiver
-
A battery (often LiPo or liHv)
-
Dipole or lollipop antenna
-
FPV goggles or screen for viewing
They can be custom-built or bought ready-to-fly, and are often paired with 3D printed parts for custom modifications and repairs. FPV drones require more hands-on knowledge, but they offer unmatched speed, agility, and fun.
