FPV (first person view) flying means that pilots only see what the drone sees. This is accomplished by live streaming footage from a camera mounted on the nose of the drone.
The image is transmitted via radio waves (typically 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz frequency) to goggles worn by the pilot.
The remote control, drone, and goggles are all connected via radio and must transmit with sufficient speed and reliability to allow effective control.
This technology is very new and is constantly being improved. FPV goggles on the market range from $50 to $500, with the more expensive goggles offering more and better features.
Some of these features include a wide field of view (FOV), head tracking, multiple frequency settings, and DVR recording functionality .
