FPV setups are of many types – some pilots prefer having the receiver built into the goggles themselves, such as the RealAcc diversity receiver – and other pilots prefer setting up ground stations. To set up a ground station, you need an external video receiver and that receiver would then plug into your goggles or […]

I never thought I’d spend more than $20 on a video transmitter before, but after watching Joshua Bardwell’s video on why you NEED SmartAudio, I thought I’d give the TBS Unify Pro a try. SmartAudio or not, the Unify Pro by itself is a beautifully engineered piece of equipment and it would totally be worth […]

Normally, I’m not that attached to my stuff, so I don’t bling it all up. But FPV is life. So when I was offered by HotDog FPV(YouTube) to try some custom FPV goggle straps, I was intrigued. Before I get into the blinginess(and usefulness) of the straps, I’d like to give a shoutout to some […]

Getting into the FPV hobby can be a little expensive – up front, there’s a lot of cash you need to shell out just to pick up the necessary gear. The most expensive piece of equipment you have to buy up front is usually your FPV goggles. Goggles can get rather expensive – decent, portable […]

To add more versatility to your FPV setup, you can build an FPV ground station. The regular FPV receiver in your goggles does the trick for most flying provided you have a good antenna on your copter and your receiver, but if you feel like you need to get better video reception, you can set […]

2019 Note: The Runcam 3 has been discontinued from the US market because of possible patent infringement with GoPro, but Banggood has informed me they have a good amount of stock of the new version – Runcam 3S WIFI. Get yours here Runcam has also come out with an alternative to the Runcam 3, called […]

The guys at Banggood were kind enough to send me this module for review. A big thanks to them! Diversity receivers can greatly increase your FPV feed and range. The way diversity receivers work is that they have two antennas attached to two receivers – and the algorithm seamless switches between the two video feeds, […]

Ever since SmartAudio came around, I’ve started wondering how I ever managed to fly without it. In case you are not aware, SmartAudio is a communication protocol between your flight controller and your video transmitter. Through SmartAudio, your flight controller can change settings on your video transmitter: such as the output power, band, or channel. […]

Ever since I wrote my guide on cheap FPV goggles some time ago, surprisingly enough, not many new models have come out. It seems that the cheap goggles have been quite standardized, and manufacturers are trying to chip away at Fat Shark’s share of the market with higher end goggles like the Aomway Commanders and […]

Image source: Pixabay First Person View goggles, or FPV for short, are the ultimate visual experience in piloting a drone. Essentially, this accessory will allow you to see through the ‘eyes’ of a drone, as though you were up there in the sky. But unfortunately, FPV goggles like any emerging technology are quite out of […]
