• Have you come across these three letters- FPV-
  and do not know the definition? FPV translates to
  first person view. In this case, the pilot
  watches real-time footages from the camera as he
  flies the drone. FPV enables the pilot to fly as
  high as possible and in precision in presence of
  obstacles especially when flying indoors or
  through trees. These drones can be applied in a
  wide array of aerial photography and they
  guarantee desirable shots as you dont have to
  gamble with the shooting settings from a ground
  position and in a particular distance. Expert
  pilots can fly the drones at the comfort of their
  seats since the high-tech models come with
  lightweight goggles for extensive explorations.

First steps

• Start by selecting your ideal FPV drone from the
  many options available in the market. In many
  instances, FPV drones need technical knowledge
  because they need separate cameras and extra
  transmitters for sending footages to goggles or
  screens which show the live footages. Instead of
  attempting to supervise your drone by mere sight,
  portable monitors.

Flying FPV

• FPV racing drones can be flown to greater
  distances and at higher speeds since the
  orientation of the drone is more precise. In
  drone racing, losing track is common when flying
  from the ground and that is why FPV is
  recommended. As you fly FPV drone, the left and
  right maneuvers cannot be reversed and you get
  more control over the drone movements. This type
  of flying entails more than just watching from
  afar the experience is unforgettable and leaves
  you with a desire for more.

The basic Setup of FPV drones

• There are two options for acquiring FPV drone
  buying and building your own. Assuming you want
  to design your own drone, these are the
  essentials of the model.
• camera for taking aerial images
• a receiver for sky video reception
• a transmitter for conveying footages to the
  ground
• goggles/display for presenting the transmitted
  views
• The same basics are found in ready-made drones
  for sale.

Flying Further

• After having the FPV drone ready, the next step
  is to experience the myriad ways of going higher.
  This is the fun part of FPV racing drones. The
  antenna is the fundamental component of flying
  further. An upgraded antenna enhances the range
  of flight without the need of extra power.

Spotter

• ven though FPV drones are great, they dont let
  you see all you need. What you see is only within
  the capability of the camera, which isnt
  sufficient. This is why you need a spotter. This
  is someone who watches over the drone as you fly
  it. This minimizes the risk of crashing. A
  spotter will let you know as you approach a big
  obstacle like power line or tree. It becomes more
  interesting when you have a flying buddy.
• Quad racing is enjoyable, although it needs a
  responsible pilot who knows the limits and
  complies with the laws and regulations of flying
  drones.
